So they had the livestream today, did they at least say when it will air if it isn’t today? The way iQiyi are faffing around is really disrespectful to the audience. No wonder the platform is in financial trouble because this certainly isn’t the way you gain loyal subscribers.
Rumoured to airdrop tomorrow (09/06/2026) on CCTV and iQiyi with absolutely NO pre-broadcast promotion.
I get you. I still have a subscription from last year but won’t renew it. I’m not financing their Ai muppets! Yeah, their playing around with Southern Anecdote is really stupid. As if it would kill them if they confirmed the date. No wonder they are going under if that’s how they are promoting their dramas. The last I’ve heard is that it will air tonight at 18:00 Beijing time.

Yes, I can see the first four episodes on the iQiyi website, but it is VIP access, so you’ll need a subscription to watch it. Give kkh a few days they may pick it up later. The sudden release came as a surprise to everyone.
I have some doubts about it coming out tomorrow. I just checked the iQiyi “coming soon” section, and it is still listed without a concrete date…. Would it really kill iQiyi if they were just a little bit less vague?
🍉 New casting rumour today (08/06/2026): Lu Yuxiao + Zhang Linghe With all the names flying around it looks like they will soon have gone through all the names of the 95-gen actresses 😂
So this drama passed the review ages ago (that’s when it got reduced to 33 episodes) but the actual broadcasting license was never issued - until today. Just in time for the broadcast!
It passed the review today (04/06/2026) and has been cut from 20 to 19 episodes.
No, that is not what I am talking about. The drama passed the review when I said. However it can take a few days for the license to be issued. Many bloggers don’t make the difference and just post when the license has been received, which was indeed today.
It hasn’t even been filmed yet, how could there be a release date?
IF they indeed start filming at the end of June, you can expect it to air at the earliest in the 2nd half of 2027 (3 months shooting + 6-9 months post production + review). According to my information, there are only 16 episodes which may shorten post-production a little.
Bai Lu is already old if they pick her, Esther Yu are more better and Esther Yu Family already contacted the producer.
Yeah, sure, that one year less makes all the difference! 😂 And just for the record, only 5-year olds would call a 31-year old person “old”, they aren’t even middle age, yet!
