Just because something is ridiculous doesn't mean it didn't happen. I just said it makes no sense. For me it is also ridiculous for grown up people to chase celebrities in airports, that doesn't mean it hasn't happened multiple times (and well I'm sure it will keep happening).

I get that, which is why it's better to stay away from comment sections in general and fandom wars.

People will not stop just because me or you or anyone will stop commenting. Toxic fans are very much capable of creating trouble even by themselves if they want to achieve something.

So we can only stay away from it as much as we can, but I do believe (again for ME) that it is unfair for us to not be able to comment freely on a platform that we use, because we love dramas.

I'd totally get people being angry if someone offended an actor/series, but the sheer mention of a name creating that many problems makes me feel that we just simply can't mention anything cause someone (that will create trouble anyways if they find any excuse) may see it.

What's on their broadcast list?

I heard about Love in the Clouds and Blood River, but which dramas are next?

I feel they barely mentioned any dramas in their conference honestly. Unlike iQiyi that gave us materials for many of their dramas Youku didn't bother with many series, but well at least it's still on their 2025-2026 list.

I feel they will soon 😊
Way too much promotion for them not to announce LITC 😄

The trailer is fantastic 🔥🔥🔥
Straight up movie quality.

I think it is worth a try if you like the two mains and you are looking for a visual feast. But if not, then no lol
The editing and plot is a bit all over the place.

You're welcome 😊

You're right! Let me add that.

Unfortunately most are rumors.

YOUKU
Yesterday, Youku aired The Guardians.
On September 28th "Justice is Mine" will air -it is listed as a Hong Kong drama though-
Afterwards there are rumors for Love in the Clouds (October 11th) and Blood River (end of October-beginning of November) -> There was pre-broadcast investment for both so it's not unlikely especially for Blood River

WETV
Hilarious Family Season 2 premiered a couple of days ago on WeTV.
Edit: Yummy Yummy Yummy is rumoured to air in early October (October 7th)

MANGO TV
Shui Long Ying (Whispers of Fate) is rumored to air at the end of October (October 28th). Also not unlikely.

iQIYI
When it comes to iQiyi, Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Sword and Beloved is rumored to also premier at the end of October (October 26th)
Fated Hearts was also rumoured to air soon enough but nothing specific.

🤡🤡🤡

I'll never move on

I get you, but those people will use anything anyways, cause like you said they are looking for an excuse. They can even make up that excuse themselves if no one else does.

Like I said I won't mention that drama again, since I don't think it is necessary.

I don't think us regular users should not even make regular comments though, because a bunch of people may stalk MDL pages and screenshot comments that say nothing bad to hate on a person for no reason at all.

And it is even a more ridiculous for international fans especially to say "CY's fan are trying to ride on ... popularity", because Cdramas are not even that popular outside China (which is probably the main reason they don't sell their shelved dramas outside China, cause they'd make no money).

I miss this so much 😭😭😭

Like all social media platforms, MDL also has many toxic people (which is natural especially since the platform is growing and more and more people are getting into dramas).

But there are also some great people around so don't lose hope.
Comment sections can truly turn to battlefields though, which is why I ended up thinking that the block button is my friend. There is no point to try to reason with toxic fans (been there, done that, same result always).

I get you. I was more into Kdramas and Jdramas a few years ago and even though there were still some toxic fans (mostly on Kdramas) I realized that when a series is more popular, usually there will be some bad apples on the comment sections. But surely I've encountered the worse in Cdramas now that I'm more active in their comment sections.
People truly feel offended easily, so it's better not to interact if they start attacking.

😊

I agree in general. However, I believe that the toxicity of fandoms is the core problem, since many times international viewers -and I've talked to plenty- can be part of those toxic fandoms.

I think it is important to seperate the person/professional and their work from their fandom.
It's like I'm saying that I will stop listening to Ariana Grande for example, cause I hate her fans. Or I will stop listening to her cause her fans hate Shakira that I like as an artist.
In other words, sometimes people end up hating a person, cause they hate their fandom. And that's unfortunate, cause the person is just a professional and most of the times has done nothing wrong.

And honestly, it's good to understand that most famous actors are not alone. They have entire crews behind them that deal with all kinds of matters and I am sure that most of them won't really care about anything a rival fandom may do. Even in extreme cases like defamation, invasion of privacy, their management will "chase after" specific people.
It's like a person that is a Fan of actor-A attacks actor-B and the management decides to press charges on actor-A and not on his Fan that did the attack. That's how toxicity works.

I believe the most important part is for all of us to understand that these people are celebrities, they make tons of money and they don't even know we exist and most importantly we don't and can't know them personally, so there is no reason to fight for them.

It's okay to be part of a fandom. It is completely fine loving an actor/actress. It's great tofollow the career path of a person you admire and support them and defend them in some cases. But it is not okay to hate other professionals, sabotage them and make hateful comments towards them, just because their fandom acted in a specific way. They are people too and yeah they may not pay that much attention to people, but there have been plenty of cases where hate lead to terrible consequences for the people that just tried to do their job.

Unfortunately, many fans feel like celebrities are parts of "themselves" and any hate towards that celebrity feels like a personal attack.
That's why many times if for example User A insults User B, User B may not insult User A, but the celebrity User A admires and that will lead to an undending hate domino.

That got thesis-long. Sorry about that, just needed to get it out of my system.

Thanks for the update!

I hope it's as good as S1!

Most probably.
Unfortunately republican dramas have the hardest time getting a license, but it will get it sooner or later and if we get the distribution license it will probably not take much time to air.

At least, it seems that Take me Where the Clouds Rise will air soon enough and a few months ago it was considered shelved. I'm not that into the trailer, but hopefully plot delivers.

I get what you mean.
I truly feel they will air Love in the Clouds and Blood River the next couple of months at least. About postponment, I feel that at least for LITC it's natural since they have national holiday until October 7th in China so they can't air anything.

At the same time though, since BN is not really highly anticipated they may release it along with another drama or something. I hope we get to see it no matter the case 🤞

That's unfortunate...
What is the schedule?

Yeap. Not a rumour anymore! They will have some type of announcement on the iQiyi conference that's on the 25th.
FINALLY!
