miss crow with mr. lizard, modern romance, ML is allen ren

it doesn't apply to anything to frontend, rewatching is just regular watching. backend, they have ways for counting effective viewership but it was never 20mins lol, i've seeing that float around on c!net a lot but it's just not true.

oh yeah, in reality i think a lot of people would blame it on her. which is why i accept it more when i find out she wrote it. since it's basically her wishful thinking. they did imply they've been foreshadowing the break up since forever, and they've been doing their own thing before the series started as well, so there's that.

in reality, delusional fans would just stop being a fan, scream about it and move on. the ones that stay are either way more delusional or just reluctantly accept she exists and try focus on their idol's work. case in point, lu han's fans.

the last sweet on series just announced its release date, aug 26th, so it'll finish its run with fast track on the 4th, yeah 9th looks extremely likely. I think they are clearing the path for the light on series in Q4

romance dramas: put your head on my shoulder, gank your heart, the day of becoming you, you are my hero
friendship dramas; cross fire, hikaru no go, my huckleberry friends
modern dramas focused on life, romance is super side thing; rational life (netflix), remembrance of things past (i think this has terrible subs), we are all alone (same director), surgeons, your fukubukuro (episodic)
thriller: die now, murderous affair at horizon tower, bad kids

just a note of correction, there's no new rule for tencent viewcounts validations. Its frontend count has always included every click, including for trailers, behind the scenes and reaction videos, and it's still doing so.

it's sort of idealistic that fans would care more about group breaking up. i mean fans mostly care about them dating cos they treat their idols as an object of fantasy, the boys have been transistioning out of that. Fans caring more about group break up means they care more about group staying together, even removing the aspect of fantasy, their abilities are enough to make fans stay as fans.

i can sort of see the logic in it? her editor did tell her that she had controversial elements in her story, but she kept it anyways

sept 9 is possible, latest airdate would be sept 30th.

iqiyi doesn't show viewcounts, it has its own system, and it's hidden in current version of the app, so you have to dig for the old app and divide by 3 (which is an estimated equation they got from a bug showing real viewcounts last april) estimate about 10mil last night? come back tomorrow for today's estimate.

The last 10mins meant that it renders the "breaking up the band to overshadow the dating scandal" moot, cos they met after the band went their separate ways. Does that make you feel better? XD

I passed on song of youth and didn't watch her older drama cos I knew this was coming up and I was afraid i'd get sick of her lol.

The drama's supporting cast are all popular actors that have helm their own popular dramas, it's an absolute envy for other dramas honestly.

I liked Le Coup's school portion and secondary couple, not huge on the otp's setup or the plot progression, I liked put your head on my shoulder from the same period. From the same director, I like We Are All Alone much more, but the romance isn't the focus.

For romcom with similar-ish vibe with characters that actually communicate with each other, I'd probably go for the day of becoming you (lean much more on the comedy, the first ep isn't what the rest of the drama is like!) or you are my hero (little too much time on secondary couple's back and forth, but you could skip them)

when people talk about viewcount, it's usually 14 days after non vip ends OR viewcount at the end of the year, but the former is fairer when couple with viewcount/ep. The viewcounts keep going after the drama finish airing, but usually most dramas only get minimal views after that, UNLESS it's a popular drama, like Love O2O frequently trend on youku.

the two dramas are big dramas on two different platforms, so they were both given the summer slot to maximise audience.

RJL doesn't usually use his own voice, most of his previous dramas had dubbed voices, one of his recent modern dramas is his own voice. Anyways, I think this one is dubbed might be to differentiate from the modern portion.

Since it's scheduled to end on Sept 8th, it's possible that forever and ever will air on 9th as early promo for Sweet On indicated (Sweet On is the thing where they promo bunch of dramas together like Light On, forever and ever is the last of the series). Sweet Teeth started little early, by normal schedule, forever and ever will start on 27th or 30th as they originally planned. Either way, shouldn't be too long.

the day of becoming you?

not just not get married, she just want a child, but didn't want the father (that's his actual line), which implies she doesn't want a relationship, so they are just one off.

unlikely, the drama is slated as a webdrama, and to air on tv, it'll probably have to be recut and go through the whole process again.
