I think we can put this on record. 20 August 2021. At 12 noon Beijing time, YAMG hit 3 Billion views.

Great news!!! We can celebrate!! Now, we see how they are going to celebrate this China. I think the lunch crowd really did it. They pushed it to 3 Billion. So wonderful!

Yeah!! Yeah!!

For some reasons, I cannot get the videos to work

Still at 2.99 for 3 hours now. So, we really need the lunch crowd to push this up to 3

If you like the acting style of Dilraba, you can try The Long Ballad. She filmed that drama right before filming YAMG. Hence, that might be interesting for you, to see how versatile an actress she is. The Long Ballad is an historical drama, hence the plot is heavier or more complex. Despite being a serious drama, they tried to inject a sprinkle of humour here and there. It does not have any silly plot twist. Everything flows quite nicely and logically.

Oh, this is similar to what Dharl Dhazel provided above.

I see. I am really curious about the term 'idols drama'. Whether he gave a definition or explanation what he meant by that. But if there is no explanation, it is ok.

For some parts, the translation is not too good. Difficult to understand.

I am thinking that, maybe by lunch, those still working can take lunch break, watch it and help YAMG get to 3B

The views per episode is related to what we are doing now, waiting for 3B. The higher the total views, the higher will be the views per episode, since number of episodes is fixed at 32. So, after getting to 3B, we will see how fast it gets to 4B. Since some in China yet to finish the entire drama, counting views will still be meaningful till Monday after next week.

If you are referring to rewatching, yes. If you can't take his attitude toward QJJ in the earlier episodes, just focus on the last 12 to 13 episodes. I think from the KTV lounge episode.

Did he explain what he meant by that?? Do you have a clip of the interview?

From the twit, you can see that they froze it when YAMG got to 2.89B views, and Sword and Brocade got to 2.99B views. If we could find out what happened to YAMG at 2.89B views, maybe we will know that basis they did the ranking. For instance, it could be the number of views gathered 3 weeks after the first date of airing or something like that.

What kind of drama are you looking? Just a general description will do

Are they really waiting for noon today? Because it has been 2.99 since 2 hours ago.

You just asked a very good question. This applies to Chinese viewers, so I am not sure, in China, if a viewer fast forward, will it still count. Again, if the goal is to prevent cheating, maybe it will not count??

Wow!!! Three cheers to YAMG!

I have little doubt about that. It is just that we still want to hit that 3B number. It is a like a report card, if you know what I mean. One simple number to explain the great success of this drama. Of course, there are other numbers as well. Like ranking, and ratings. All these numbers will be what people will remember years from now.

Edit: Just to be sure, all those things that you have mentioned, they are also important. I did not mean to imply that they are unimportant.

Wow! Just another 10M views to hit the magic number!!
