The other 0.3 has a likely explanation in the botched synopsis. Look at the episode guides of the other 2 big dramas currently airing (blood river and sword and beloved). Both have ratings up to the final episode. That's even more upcoming episodes rated than ffh and I'm sure they complained that their drama was also being targeted and then started rating future episodes 10/10 just like what's happening here. It's normal. No one is targeted unless there is controversy.

The rating system is flawed but it's flawed to all dramas yet everyone wants to claim their drama is being targeted. Love in the clouds dropped from 8.9 to 8.8 and the comments started saying someone is organizing the mass low ratings. Based on the rank, fated hearts will probably drop to 8.7 and they will also claim all kinds of conspiracies on why there are so many haters.

There is nothing that seperates this drama from the others besides the wrong synopsis. If something feels off then you look at the outliers and the synopsis is the only outlier seperating this drama and others. Claiming it's uniquely targeted just from feels is just being biased.

The rating fluctuating early on is not new. It happens to every drama. This one in particular is likely very negatively affected by the previous synopsis which was wrong. No matter how good a pie is, if I was expecting a pizza, I will be somewhat disappointed. That's probably the main reason it dropped so low instead of haters. There are haters who rate drama episodes before they air in all dramas on mdl, it's not just this one. Ratings now also have a larger impact on the overall rating shown because only a few people watching have actually properly rated it.

I watched both love in the clouds and fated hearts as they aired. Both shows fluctuated a lot initially. FH started at 8.3 then went down to 8.1 then 8.4, all within the first 2-3 days. Same thing happened with love in the clouds but it actually rose slower becauss people found the early episodes slow. They were also yelling "haters" in that comment section. Love's Ambition dropped from 8.5 to 8.4 a few days after it finished and everyone in the commments started yelling "haters" completely ignoring that a lot of people were voicing a loss in interest after the divorce in the comments. It's not always just haters but other understandable reasons. Usually actual haters are outnumbered to the point of being inconsequential when numbers are averaged out.

I think a combination of the wrong synopsis disappointing people's expectations and "unconventional" plotlines like marrying ml's dead brother and ml's character being similar to bai jingting in destined in that he needs time to develop. These kind of plots turn a lot of people off and that's fine. We don't all enjoy the same things. They drop and leave a low rating.

For tencent, divide the heat by 3 to get the equivalent on iqiyi and youku. 24k would be 8k on the other 2 while 30k=10k. 8k is good, 9k is very good and 10k is a big hit.

Idk how far true it is but iqiyi 10k and tencent 30k is more difficult to reach than 10k on youku.

How so? She seemed like she accepted death when she was given the poison. She was also surprised that she was alive when she woke up. My problem wasn't really the feelings or trust but her willingness to let ml die or need a reason to save the him when he literally saved her life before.

Anyway after episode 11 I'm dropping it. Finished ep11 and fast forwarded through ep12 and I hate the way the ml is out of nowhere so in love with her. It just makes zero sense out of their interactions so far, if anything, it should be the other way round. It would be fine if it was atleast subtle but it's like she's the love of his life when she's mostly done things for him to mistrust her. I unfortunately now have negative feelings for the drama so the comedy that I found funny before is now just annoying as well. I'll just check out plot revelations after it's done airing since I'm quite interested in that.

On ep 8. Why does she act like he didn't save her life? Why didn't she try to save ml when he's being attacked to pay him back for saving her life? At the bottom of the place they fell, she's once again looking for an excuse to help him as if they are still enemies.

For the fl it feels like there's big disconnect after the episode where she's poisoned. It's like disney shows where huge relationship progressions happen only to be reset the following episode. Why does she still suspect he's hiding the crown prince or scheming against her when he could have just let her die to solve those problems? For the fl, it's like the episode of him saving her from the poison just didn't happen.

He also seems to have fallen for her out of nowhere. He's now getting jealous of the "young master" she keeps calling when she's unconscious. Why? What made him fall for her?

I'm the direct opposite. Rather the romance is stable while everything around them falls to pieces.

I wish the older woman/younger man genre didn't always make the ml so childish/immature/impulsive/insecure just to show that the ml is young. He's 20 not 14. When it's the reverse scenario, the fl is only portrayed as shy. She's not constantly yelling and being unreasonable. I like the idea of the genre but the execution always sucks because of this and how predictable it is that ml will fall for fl first then fl will reject the relationship because of the age difference.

I loved the other 3 Wang Anyu dramas I watched (forever love, be passionately in love, to fly with you) so I'm probably biased since his character here is so different.

Si Jin did rebirth without a sad ending or even the typical "it was all a dream thing". Pretty sure rebirth/transmigration//time travel is only not allowed if it involves the modern world but in fantasy/historical dramas it's either fine or the censorship is more loose

How do people enjoy this? I'm on ep14 and the ml has just been mean to the fl the entire time. He throws her a bone from time to time but 90% of the time he's just mean to her for no reason, being dumb is not a reason. She never even gets mad at him for his bs either. This is up there with "well intended love" for the worst ml I've seen. The drama also glazes him constantly when he's just garbage. Why would anyone root for the leads to get together? What a complete waste of my time.

First drama I watched while it aired. Not to brag but it really was fun on mdl lol. It was also a very "peaceful" comment section compared to a lot of others I've checked out. Hope you like it

Wrong brother but both absolutely did a lot wrong. Jingyan murdered people in the palace whenever he felt like it...and stole the wives of his officials

I really miss watching this. It was the first drama I watched as the episodes aired from beginning to end. For all other dramas that I've tried watching as they air, I usually give up out of frustration from misunderstandings and miscommunication halfway through the drama, then wait for all the episodes to be released before continuing. Same thing happened with love in the clouds and moonlit reunion. I wonder when I'll feel this way about another drama again.

I'm also really annoyed with "plotholes". You can't just pull out a fake picture in a court and it's used to aid in closing a case before it's tested by forensics. Even if it's not fake, it would also just be used to show that she was highly intoxicated. Police woukd have forced the wife to give them the full recording of what she played and question where she got it. After finding out that Sibei sent and deleted a text to Chuchu, investigators can easily find that Sibei's location changed since she had her phone when she got assaulted.

I probably wouldn't care about these in other dramas but the topic of this drama makes me find any inconsistencies frustrating.

The mom can just F off. Suddenly Sibei's pain matters? She was the one who prevented Sibei from reporting on the day the assault happened and suddenly she wants to act like the epitome of virtue against others. Where was all this when Sibei was suffering alone?? She initially gaslit Sibei and then when Sibei finally got the resolve to report it, she tried everything to stop her.

The mom and Chuchu are irredeemable for me. She reminds me of Yifan's mom in the first frost. They are supposed to be their daughter's strongest soldiers, especially in a scenario like this yet they betray that trust/reliance that their children have in them.

That's such a lame trope.

No new episodes...pain

Jingshi kills Jingyan and also stabs Xiyang in the stomach. Suige arrives in time to find a physician to save her but her unborn child dies and she becomes infertile. Jingshi is killed by Feng Suige with help from Yixiao in the last episode.

Both Xia brothers die, more details on the comment below

I really like Feng Suige's love for his siblings. Even after everything that went down with Xiyang, their reunion was amazing. Chengyan deserves a best brother award as well.

Atleast here, the ml will still be the emperor if needs be after the mourning period. It also seems like he's the one in control of the kingdom at the end since he will be the one to decide who rules
