WK1

Sure. Mediocre compared to which drama or dramas??

You are not wrong that rating for YAMG is fan based. But, isn't that true for all dramas? It will always be a battle between fan and anti-fans. It is what it is because there are way more people who loved this drama than those who do not like it.

It has already garnered 4.2 billion views in China, meaning an approximate 131m people in China have viewed every single episode of this drama. Dilraba's has about 74m followers on Weibo and Yang Yang has 53 m. Assuming all these followers have watched every single episode of this drama, it still reached 4m people above that, proving that even 'neutrals' liked this drama. This is no mean feat, when we consider the fact that it had to compete against the Summer Olympic Games in Tokyo.

Many reports have claimed that this is Tencent's most successful drama in 2021, and we all know that it caused both of Tencent's streaming platforms to crash during the week when millions around the world tried to watch that marriage scene. No other Tencent drama has done that.

You must be quite sad that Evernight is only 8.4??

You probably got it mixed up between TLB and YAMG.

For TLB, the Happy Camp episode was aired on March 21, 2021 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTqWmT3F3YE&ab_channel=%E6%B9%96%E5%8D%97%E5%8D%AB%E8%A7%86%E8%8A%92%E6%9E%9CTV%E5%AE%98%E6%96%B9%E9%A2%91%E9%81%93ChinaHunanTVOfficialChannel) and the drama itself aired on 31 March 2021.

It was YAMG that was aired first, and the Happy Camp episode involving Reba and Yang Yang was aired in the middle of the drama's run. I remember Reba had to leave right in the middle of filming of Legend of Anle to film that Happy Camp episode.

Their happy camp episode was aired just before TLB was shown. Wasn't that arranged by Tencent?

Yah. That is rather strange. His fans in China cannot be too happy about it. Or maybe they are, if they love overdosing on him.

I think Iqiyi made a snap decision to show Ace Troops, to avoid the Winter Games.

Not sure how Youku does business, but for Tencent, it will always give some kind of advance notice of airing date, and some promotional stuff. That is what they did for The Long Ballad, You are my glory and Sword Snow Stride. I think likewise for Iqiyi (for Luoyang).

We shall see. Anything is possible, but even if no new promotional materials, some kind of advanced notice on airing date will make sense. At least those in China can get prepared to watch this drama.

We just put our ears to ground. Anyone hears anything, just come to this page and drop us a note.

If they air on Jan 19, 2 episodes a day, 7 days a week, they can finish the series during Chinese New Year, just days before the start of the Winter Games.

If this is their game plan, we should get some new promotional stuff by next week.

Episode 26

Have you already watched Dilraba and Allen's historical dramas in 2021??

Do pop by this page around end Dec, which is next week. We may have a clearer picture when this drama will be out.

Great! Reba has been a brand ambassador for Mikimoto for many years now. They would have seen her in Mikimoto commercials in Japan. That should bring in some traffic for The Long Ballad on WOWOW TV.

Here. This is where I got the news that they might act in a modern drama. All the pages can be auto translated to English now. It just say modern drama. Did not indicate romance. But the article is quite honest. Did not say anything is confirmed, till we hear from Reba and Wu Lei, or their studios.

It will make a lot of sense for them to air in January. If they miss that opportunity, they will need to push it to March. And many of Youku's other dramas will all be jammed up. Sword Snow Stride is not a bad drama. But the Douban score is only 6, indicating it is not a smash hit. If Youku is not afraid of competition, they can air it around 7 Jan. If they want to wait for SSS to be over, it will be anytime between 12-15 Jan.

Great! Episode 21 is a pivotal episode in their relationship. After that, it is pure bliss between the two of them (and their families).

Sorry. My previous post, I think I made a mistake. The first word should be 'they' not "I". Using the word "I" may have given you the impression that I can up the rating individually. I cannot do it on my own. But, everyone who watched this drama really likes it, and those who likes it rate it 10/10, the rating will go up.

Especially all those who watched this recently. If they rate it 10, then, the rating will surely go up.

No. The main couple did not go their separate ways. They both went to the grasslands, together.

Yup. Happy ending for the main couple and 2nd couple.
What else do you need to know?

Most welcomed. You will enjoy this amazing drama.
