the plot does pick up imo, a revenge plot that takes 39 episodes will evidently be more slow paced but there is definitely action coming soon after ep7. i just finished ep15 and i think the plot is moving steadily

imagine if it was like a special edition novel lol

it happens way too often, its literally become a plot point in many shows :(

aw man

my original gave comments from other shows as examples and i never showed true proof of the same thing happening for 安乐传 and only said might. i understand that in this comment chain i didnt mention the same possibilities of low ratings as i did with other replies, ill just rephrase : "high anticipation, frustration with pacing, expecting an immediate revenge plot" etc. after watching episodes i just randomly look through comments to share my opinions or like those i agree with, and i have responded to several about low ratings and listing possible factors. if i show no picture proof, it means i dont intend my word to be heeded like law. in the future i can ensure to always type without missing the word "possible" unless i have proof. one mishap can spread misinformation if the word "might" is overlooked?

han ye's trusting luo ming xi with his true feelings, and the princess carry scene

eeeeeee ep14 got me geeked

referring to the episode guide is the best resource guide, eps 13-14 release in a few hour, ep 15 releases the following day, and after that there will be 2 eps released per day all the way until the finale (6pm china time always)

short answer is that toxicity is not limited to Weibo, it was just an example. it is unfathomable to sane people, but some people disregard viewership and go on crazy online protests. internet is diverse and my example does not need to apply to every drama, just a possibility since there’s no way of reading into who left the low ratings

if you frequent weibo youll find many toxic fans from each fandom. i dont mean to generalize all gong jun fans, i only mentioned that it was a possibility of the low ratings since it has been like this for many dramas. fans from different platforms act differently.

she was basically a beggar and the guard informed her of all the characteristics she had to imitate, including her relations with certain people (plotted by lmx)

yea it’s kinda sad that bc romance is like the most popular genre people drop shows for petty reasons

if you hover over the number and see the average for dropped ratings, you’ll notice that it’s drastically lower than other dramas. this could be due to high anticipation for the drama that caused disappointment in the pacing or anti fans

there are antis but there are also “idol lovers” as in they idolize someone too much and can’t bear to see them paired with someone romantically. bailu got hate for pairing with xukai in AMA, yangzi got hâte for pairing with xiaozhan in OoL. on Weibo you might see crazy fans ranting about a new show bc their fav actor is paired with another actress

the guard acts as the messenger in the middle, they limit contact with the puppet dzy to avoid suspicion, thus she is only familiar with the guard and listens to his instructions that are passed on from lmx

yesterday youku posted 12-13 trailer so i thought there’d be two rod today , i disappointed myself lol

sad thing is that those who dropped will never change their absurdly low ratings, bc of high anticipation for the drama im sure many weren’t patient enough for the plot

she was a noble, part of the di family. family accused of treason and she was exiled. she returned as a "female pirate" and now works alongside prince to solve court cases. she has a lot of public support.

for the average drama, dropped ratings have a mean of 6-7 but it’s 2-3 for this drama, explains the lowrating

i think those who dropped it have given drastically low ratings hfjfksjc
