👉👉👉📢📢‼️‼️Clarification on the 47 Episodes and the Two-Part Split.‼️‼️‼️📣📣📣

Since there has been some confusion in the comments about the episode count, here is the official breakdown of what is happening with the broadcast layout:

1. The Episode Count Split The 47 episodes listed on MDL are the official, final total across both seasons. The show was originally a much larger project during filming but was significantly condensed in editing to tighten the story's pacing. It is split into two parts:

Part 1 (Against the Current / 兰香如故): 31 episodes

Part 2 (The Fragrance Endures / 香气长传): 16 episodes

2. Why is it split if the 40-episode rule changed? While it is true that broadcasting regulators recently relaxed the strict 40-episode cap on individual historical drama seasons, this series had already finalized its two-part editing and registration layout before that policy change took effect. Tencent and CCTV-8 are broadcasting the show using the split format as originally planned.

This is not the first drama to be split in half or parts for it being so long.

Finallythis drama sees the light. It has been couple of years since they wrapped filming and 47 episodes???. They…
It is correct that the broadcasting regulators recently relaxed the strict 40-episode limit on historical dramas. However, this show had already finalized its editing and split before that policy change officially went into effect for its broadcast slot. The 47 episodes listed on MDL are the final, official total across both parts. Tencent and CCTV-8 are releasing them split into Part 1 (Against the Current / 31 episodes) and Part 2 (The Fragrance Endures / 16 episodes) based on how the production team originally registered the seasons.

I am just SOOOO ready for this. Ever since I saw the first poster, it's been too long.

So, is it coming out the 11th even for SVIP/VIP members as well? If anyone knows. I keep seeing the 11th but I was hoping the 10th since I'm VIP.

okay I cried like a baby twice but it was very enjoyable. I wasn't expecting that. times it doesn't make sense but once they go a bit further with the story you're like "ohhhh, so now I get it" it was very good, the actors did a very very good job!

I'm watching express now ... YALLL! WHY he trying to pull a Cloud move?! 😂😭 I had to pause when bro found out and evil douchebag is like "he's gone" and I was like damnit, hold up, I'ma be all mad hahaha!
Oh I loved him in PoB too! He is so cute and such a good actor, he deserves a main role tbh. He just needs to not spit blood 😂
That's how it is, everything is mixed reviews. My kid wouldn't go to sleep so I didn't get to start it at 11, it was like 1245 lol so I'm watching that one till I fall asleep or just say fuck it and stay up depends how I feel later 😂 lol.
