How many episodes does this have? On weTV, only 33 episodes... bit on MDL, 35 episodes
The original or director's cut is 33 episodes which is what you see online and sold on DVD. The tv version is 35 episodes. The drama's original format is sliced up to insert commercials.
Youku, mango and wetv are showing what the original production company set up as the starting and ending points of an episode. The episode count will likely be a few less than 33 when its done airing. I have not seen the data on it yet.
The DVD version is a term used by Duboku to explain the difference between what is on TV. In reality it's a bit disrespectful to the original editors and creators of the drama. It was never meant to be a "DVD version". It is the official or original version.
You can consider that the schedule is for the TV version and we are watching DVD version. So it doesn't match.…
All dramas in China have to go through several reviews and clearances by the government before it be aired or distributed on tv, streaming or DVD. The production company must give them a fully finished copy of the drama, this included the set episode markers to the reviewers.
The streaming companies are expected to stay BEHIND what is aired on TV, which is why we have sudden episode delays and most likely why there isn't a schedule.

It must be Duboku way of distinguishing the two because they generally upload what aired on TV in China over web platforms. The original version was designed by the creators for all media platforms, including DVD. but not exclusively so.
I don't know why you use the term DVD version. It's the original and only version there is supposed to be as designed by the production company editors for all platforms TV, Web and eventual DVD but they are all supposed to be the same. When HUNAN TV buys airing rights to a completed drama they have a bad habit to later ignoring the plan and cookie-cutter the whole story and disrespecting the creator's vision.

No it is not the "DVD" version. It's the ORIGINAL version set in place by the production companies' editors. It is meant for airing on both TV and the WEB first in this format. Then the show will of course be also added to a DVD. That is not the only reason the show is set up this way. HOWEVER.... HUNAN TV does its own thing and messes with the original layout. Other TV networks in China don't usually take such liberties and honor the creators set program plan,
Duboku is providing exactly what is airing on the Hunan TV network in China. As I mentioned above, they sliced and diced a drama to fit the time frame set by the network along with their ads). which will mess up the episode count from the Tencent Video companies web version which remains untouched from what original editors intended, including the length and when each part of the story starts and stops.
I mentioned this above... .This drama is airing on Hunan TV. They slice and dice dramas to fit commercials in without any consideration to the story. Therefore the starting and ending points differ as well as the running time from the web version, the single episode days on the web help balance the timeline out between the two. Avenue X talks about it today on her youtube channel.

Oh my I’m still waiting on 14 to be posted here where I live then have to wait for subs to be added won’t…
I usually watch the clips raw on youtube and "google" translate the headers while its airing. Kacowa (Free24HourTaste) usually has the subs out first. It still takes about 6-8 hours after airing for the subbed version to pop up.
This week feels like it's dragging its feet getting to Saturday. I need to find other dramas currently airing that take the edge off, yet nothing really has the same sorta vibe.
Only this drama is watchable. What happen to Kdramas nowadays?
I agree. I have barely watched any this year, previously I would be following 1-3 kdramas at any given time. I'm loving this drama, it does feel a bit old school, but in a positive way.
After 12 episode I watched it without subtitles so I may not understand properly but it was neither too bad nor…
Yeah I did the same, skipped through the raw episodes last week. It's not bad, but nothing I'm excited about either. I don't know if I will go back and watch it with subs unless I just want to watch something to pass time.
