What's TEF?

Well they have lots to air, but TIA is the one that has the most rumours of airing late July/beginning of August for a while now.
I don't see them airing HS which is my most anticipated (along with Burning Night) 😭, so at least I hope they air that one or any costume drama at this point...

Hopefully the immortal ascension is next!

Thank you!

Its a bit chaotic in the comment section. Can someone explain what happened? I got that maybe the new eps won't air this week. What is going on with the editing though?

They are terrible and it's not just in bls unfortunately 😥

Let's hope it's true

🤞🤞🤞

I'm losing my patience 😀

Still waiting...

🤡🤡🤡

Thanks for the answer.
I had a problem following, maybe they were too fast at some points and I misunderstood.

First episode was pretty good in many aspects. Plus, I feel like the fact that it's not many eps will tremendously help.

But, what's with iqiyi subs? I know there are always mistakes, but there were too many this time. At some points, I had a hard time understanding.

960.000 reservations!

So close, yet so far...
I hope we get some materials when it hits 1m

Imo it is, but take into consideration this one is not based on a danmei novel and unlike the untamed it has a female lead (that is not really a lead but well...)

For me, the (b)romance was so evident that I wondered how it passed censorship. Much more on the nose and less subtle comparing to the untamed that I also love.

Of course, there are effects etc.

It is still weird that they would rush to get one though so soon. The drama wrapped filming a few months ago.
Feud got a license on April 18th and was released less than one and a half month later. But if I am not mistaken it wrapped on August 2024.
This one wrapped on January. If they truly release it now, that would be weird.


Well, we can only wait and see if the rumours are true.

Thanks

You never know what may happen though or what is happening behind the scenes. We are not the company, we can only speculate.

I agree it makes no sense for them to broadcast such a highly anticipated drama with a high budget with zero promotion. On the other hand though, why would they rush to get a broadcast license if they are not planning to air it soon? There is no reason for that. Even if we assume that the editing isn't finished, there is no logic in getting a license just a few months after the filming ended. It usually takes much longer for these dramas.

I'm not 100% sure about editing, but usually when dramas get a license they can air anytime. I don't see how it could pass the board if the editing isn't finished or at least partially finished. Plus, if they plan to air it soon, the editing must have finished cause there is no way they will manage to fix anything in a few days.

That aside we can't know what may be happening behind the scenes and why they may want to air this now. Maybe there is a scandal we don't know about etc.
There are many factors that viewers simply can't know.

Of course it may not even air at all, we will see. But it is not impossible either. Pretty sure it wouldn't be the first time that something rare or irrational happens.

Like mentioned in the other comment section that has nothing to do with it.
It's just that the company involved in this is not based in China. That's why it can air.

And probably this one will be more light comparing to the erha book 🙃

I get what you mean, but I don't think it's that serious. It feels more like sarcasm against the industry in general for me, but I'd probably fit more in the Immortality comment section.

Well, I hope we get to watch Desire with no problems and maybe after it we will get to watch Immortality too and other series that have been shelved for no reason.

They probably won't sell the rights of immortality internationally for financial reasons (at least for the time being, cause it's already been many years since it was filmed). JITD was uploaded first on Youku and then it was basically cancelled allegedly cause they never had the rights to broadcast it. And they sold the rights to Japan after it went through editing again (probably in hopes that they will show it in China).
Similarly with the spirealm that was leaked.

They can air them internationally, but they will lose tons of money, cause the target audience is chinese people and they have invested a lot of money on the period dramas comparing to modern ones like JITD or the spirealm (especially the spirealm that was ridiculously low budget and a parody of the book).

I feel like they are airing Desire now to gain as much money as possible, taking into consideration the huge sucess of Revenged Love.
Chinese fans will probably promote it one way or another like what is happening now with revenged love that is not really available in China.

Count me in, I wish the same...
