First of all, thank you for the warning.

I'll be honest with you like how you were with me. I am not sure what happened, but I am a regular drama watcher and I tend to just compare series for what they are. A piece of "media" that is made to entertain us or teach us something in one way or another.

I don't know what has happened in this case, and I hope this doesn't sound offensice, but if it is fandom based I honestly don't care. Unless the actors are criminally liable for something, I don't really see a reason to not mention something or to hate something just to not make people angry.

Legend of Zang Hai was a really good series and The Vendetta of An also seems to be a very good series. Both actors are talented and well respected in China and they are both quite famous.
If actors themselves don't want to kill each other irl, I don't see a reason why the sheer mention of another drama would cause a fight or bring back bad memories.
Even if they don't like each other, or if one of them acts bad for whatever reason, I think that as viewers, at least me that is a regular viewer and don't follow actors that much, should only judge them for their work which is acting. After all no matter how much we like someone and what they may mean to us, they don't know us, we are just individuals and they have millions of fans.

Again, I hope this doesn't sound offensive and I don't really plan to mention XZ's drama again cause there is no reason to. It was just an answer to the comment above that I found fitting taking into consideration what they wrote and judging from the trailer. If you feel offended, if this brings you angry or sad memories from the past, or makes you feel uncomfortable, feel free to block me (and of course that goes to every person that may read this).

I'm sorry but I don't see a reason why not. I just said it has similar vibes judging from the trailer which ia true. Both dramas have dark atmospheres, are male centric and look like dark revenge dramas.

"Soon" I say as they drag me away

Best dramas always air during exams, so I wouldn't be that optimistic 😂

I think the holiday is from October 1st to October 7th. I believe they don't air any idol dramas during that period. That's probably the reason why this one is rumoured to air on October 8th, after the 7 day break period has been completed.

I'm not sure about the autumn festival. However, this year the mid-autumn festival will take place during the seven days of the national holiday (October 6th I think), so I don't see any dramas airing then (at least dramas that are not republican or "pro-China"),

Thank you!

Is there a trailer?

MDL doesn't really delete comments, the admins have way too many things to deal with to care about comment sections unless many people report a comment. They probably blocked you, that's why you can't see it.

From the genres and the trailer it does look like a serious revenge drama, closer to the recent Legend of Zang Hai.

Filming has wrapped, no license or rumours yet. I feel that if we are very lucky it will air by the end of this year, but honestly most likely we'll see it next year.

Any release date rumours?

Yes, I know. I just added it to what you said 😊

Probably many panicked or were confused cause some Youku lists were truly only for 2026. I hope we get to see this one this year.

At least it's on the youku 2025-2026 lineup 🤡

Yeap I agree. After all the list itself says 2025-2026 so it may come this year or the next along with most of the other series.

Thank you!

If anyone changes this poster 🔪🔪🔪

I'm not that into republican dramas in general, but the trailer of this one is amazing even with no subs.

Since it is a 2025-2026 list it may still air this year (I hope so at least)

Hopefully we'll get sth on the Youku conference
