Tbh I wish they would air drama soon like within a year and half at most. This year I saw a teaser for this drama…
I agree with your point of view. It is better to release a drama within a 1 - 2 year time frame because production value/styles do change very quickly. But sadly Chinese dramas have to jump through a lot of hoops to be able to air. So we can't really change that - especially since they are very strict & probably just going to get even stricter with what get's passed.
The dubbing isn’t great >_< also I’ve only watched The Untamed so I’m not sure but it doesn’t actually…
In the untamed - Xiao Zhan didn't voice it himself. It was actually the voice actor from the anime version of the Untamed. So you are correct in saying they sound different lol. In this drama it is his actual voice - if you compare it to his interviews/variety show you can tell :).
I want to ask if we tv or viki's standard quality is better, or are they the same?
I think the quality is the same. Tencent/WeTv: Annoying some time because they have their logo stamped across the right side of the show - which can get annoying to look at for an entire 40 minutes. Quick with subtitles (same day)
Viki: Takes longer with subtitles (they have the first episode fully subbed as of this moment) But no annoying logo stamp on video
So upto you - which ever you prefer. They both are free & same quality!
TV adaptations will never be 100% equal to the book, so people need to calm down, it’s just the first episode.
If I could like your comment 100 times I totally would. Even the most popular adaptations like Harry Potter & Lord of the Rings aren't 100% true to the books - there will always be scenes that will be different from what you imagine. It isn't easy to make humans do something that an author depicts in a story since they have to deal with gravity & the extent of what CGI can accomplish.
I hope people can just have an open mind when watching the show - and let minor flaws of the story pass.
Btw if the Tencent app doesn't work (like it didn't for me because I live in the States) just use a good VPN. I personally use WindScribe and put location as Thailand - it will then work.
Omg the first episode was absolutely amazing, incredible, fantastic, you guys get the point lol. The scenes were absolutly amazing and the story line so far is on point. I can't wait for the next episode - it's gonna be painstaking to wait everyday for a new episode but from what I have seen - totally worth it!!!
11:30 AM today so in less than 2 hours lol :D!!! They do it based on China Time
If I am not mistaken I heard it is supposed to release at 12 pm on CCTV and 12:30 pm on Tencent. So you might have to wait about an hour since its 11:17 am at China now lol.
I can't believe it is actually airing :D!!!! And here I thought we were just clowning lol. I was totally expecting it not to come - what a pleasant surprise!!
Anyone that is interested in playing the Xiao Zhan rendition of the Watermelon game. I found 2 versions (there are a lot more of them) - it is quite addicting. Have fun playing the game :D!! Btw open link on a phone - it might not work if you use it on a desktop/laptop.

You can also use the app - either way does work.
There is also a youtube channel:

I am region blocked but if you use vpn & change your location it should work.
I heard that if you watch it on the Tencent site/app it adds to the view ratings.

Probably better to watch Tencent on the app because I don't know if English subs work with the desktop version.
