Reservations on Tencent have exceeded 1.5 million 👍

Some people say this Saturday… but honestly, I don’t care much if it’s a day sooner or later as long as it can be broadcast 😃

It initially was planned for 50 episodes. I stlll have a Tencent announcement with that info. 40 may be the official max. but I have recently seen dramas get a license for 43 episodes.

Yes,their strategy seems to be a bit uncoordinated.
What I’m most worried about is that they are promoting this only via the romance angle whereas the novel is heavy on political and war strategies.
People who like romance will be disappointed with the drama when it gets into the heavy stuff and the people who like political strategies won’t even bother to watch because they think it’s all cheesy romance.

Nobody really knows what his future plans are. Interpretations of this post (which I believe was written for him by the agency) wildly vary between ‘preparing a comeback’, ‘moving behind the scenes’ and ‘definite retirement’.

Yes, that is my impression, too. It’s the only thing that would explain this half-hearted promotion. They want to broadcast, but still haven’t got the license…

Yes, there have been quite a few articles recently commenting on the problem of clone-like traffic stars with limited acting skills. They see that the majority of the audience is getting bored with the assembly line costume dramas that rely on filters, traffic and dubbing.
Producer Yu Zheng even went so far as to say that people who rely on dubbing shouldn’t be called actors. He also took a dig at the overly effeminate MLs
Things will change, but I’m not sure if they will change fast enough for Jeremy.

And not a blip about it on the Tencent Weibo feed. Are they not going to do any promotion???

Jeremy has probably eaten all the props (again!), so there was no food left for her… 🤣🤣🤣

I would say it is important, but it isn’t too prominent.
I’m quite happy with this because I hate those cheesy tropes of gazing into each other’s eyes while the music plays.

I’m only up to episode 22, and so far there isn’t.

It’s a slow burn, but they are cute.

I don’t know if it has actually been cut to 40 episodes or if MDL just put 40 because they think it’s the maximum. ..
The Tencent announcement still said 50.
I’ve recently seen dramas get a licence for 43 episodes, however, I still haven’t seen confirmation of this drama getting its broadcasting licence,

Jeremy has today (06/09/2024) posted a lengthy message of apology to his fans for the shock announcement of his retirement in March this year.
He explains that his father has been ill with dementia for the past six years and that right now he would like to dedicate his time to take care of his family.
He thanks all the fans for their encouragement and support.
I assume this is some sort of face-saving compromise that will allow him to get out of the agency contract peacefully and to keep his name (his name was changed after he joined the agency so they probably have him over a barrel with this). It will, however, block his way to a comeback until the family situation has been resolved.

Consider it the Pei Yan method, it requires strategy and self-discipline 🤣

It depends on the platform and the mood of whoever is in charge…
Usually, they drop 5-6 episodes the first day and then two episodes per day in the first week. Then they start playing around and you may get two episodes every day from Tuesday to Friday (or any variation of days).
It’s a bit like drug dealers, they first get you hooked and then they leave you hanging 🤣
The trick to be able to watch episodes continuously is to only watch a few instead of binging. That way you can spread the available episodes to have at least one to watch every day.
Of course you will be one step behind the people who watch all the episodes immediately, but when they whine with withdrawal symptoms, you still have something to watch 😄

What’s up with the episode count? It has suddenly changed to 40, but before it was 50…
I haven’t seen any news that it passed review and the no. of episodes had been modified…
