Considering they do divorce in the drama, be prepared for some heartbreak along the way for sure 😂, just gotta cross our fingers for a happy ending

Thats good to hear (not good but like better that they don't benefit in any way from this dramas success), thats what I thought.

Hahaha yeh, didn't realize the typo 😂

I agree, the heat is very good for any show on day 1, let alone an airdrop show with like no promo. People are posting and reposting photos very quick which is nice. Definitely show support for her.

Any benefit they have will have already been paid to them when she signed the contract for this, not now. Her agency would have gotten a percentage of her fees for acting, they already got their money. They wanted to stop this drama from airing as it shows people are still very much willing to watch her dramas and she is still very successful. Plus it also keeps her situation fresh in peoples minds, while the agency wants to sweep away what's happening quietly. Also will allow production companies and stuff to see viewers will still watch her dramas, so they are more likely to approach her for future roles (without her agency involvement). Unless ofocurse ZLS has a more back ended deal for this drama, but I doubt it. Feel like as she is already established she gets paid more upfront rather than a back end deal.

26k heat on an airdrop with no recent promo is kinda insane work, I bet her old agency is so angry right now😂

Nice, I think they're the main ones anyway. The rumor came out of nowhere so I'm sure many people missed it anyway.

Hit 25k heat, really impressive for a modern romance drama, airdropped with like no recent promo or anything, day 1.

Yeh, both have a lot of secrets, so I think more they married each other for status and cause the look good together and match, but eventually they divorce and only then I think is when they really fall for each other proper.

No problems, the ones I personally follow are:
@ultra_melons this one is strictly focused on cdramas, besides air dates also shows when trailers drop, when they drop official drama filming photos/behind the scenes photos from filming, when they announce dramas, casting rumors, pretty much everything you need to know about upcoming and currently airing cdramas.

@Allcbizmelons this one gives all the updates on upcoming and airing dramas same as above, but also includes more of the c-ent world in general, like photo shoots of cdrama celebs like they posted photos of Bai Lu, Ding Yuxi, Ju Jingyi during fashion week in Italy yesterday and today. Keeps you updated on everything related to cdramas, but also the c-ent world in general.

@ForCdrama same as the second one. Focused on everything cdramas, so keeps you up updated on upcoming dramas and all that stuff, but also the c-ent world in general.

These should cover you, like I saw on one of these accounts yesterday that Love's ambition would drop today, so I was expecting it thanks to these accounts. But remember, some of the stuff they post are melons, so not everything is 100%.

Idk about her, but as for him, seeing some spoilers from the novel and stuff, seems like he married her because she's 'right' for his status and they're socially compatible, and he believes he can control her, plus novel wise I think he gets swayed by his ex or something after they get married. But once they divorce he finally realizes he loves her, so I think right now he doesn't love her, just sees her as more of an ideal wife given her looks and job etc.

Chinese dramas normally announce the premiere date a few days before, not sure why, so really not worth searching October cdramas as honestly they just announce the premiere a few days before, normally even less than a week before the show starts. Best place is Weibo if you have it in your country or X, and follow the official accounts and/or melon accounts that give updates.

Current heat index is 24,300 and still rising. Pretty impressive for an airdrop show, with minimal to no recent promotion.

Obviously a lot of things impact heat index, but time is important for iqiyi and Youku as well. You want it in the evening, when most people are home from work/school, so they can watch. Also that's why heat index keeps going up for a few hours after the episode airs, as more people get home and watch. Important to know, heat index never stops while the drama airs, it keeps going up and down 24 hours, never stops till the drama finishes. But normally peaks a couple hours after the episode airs in the evening/night. But a lot of things affect heat index so time is just one important thing.

I could be wrong, but I believe they haven't released the air schedule yet, hopefully they do release it soon.

Thanks for the info! Might give them a read if no sequels coming.

Yeh I agree, Jiang Yuwen got off pretty lightly. Haha I like that, both of them could have been good partners in another life.

If you haven't seen it I would recommend 'Reset' also with Bai Jing Ting, a very similar concept to this, another time loop mystery that is quite interesting and highly rated.

Thank you for the recommendations, haven't heard about beloved or the Chinese adaption of My Mister, though I did see the kdrama version. Interesting to hear they made a Chinese adaption, definitely check out it on when it released.

Yeh I feel bad for Cheng Yi and the others actors of TJOL, its unfortunate for a hyped up drama, but Cheng Yi has two other dramas pretty much ready for release, just waiting on the airing license I think (or they may have already got it), so hopefully those are a better quality.

Very true about MYZ, you could see he was conflicted and for a second I really thought he would just give himself up at the end. Honestly, when you talk about how people were never villains to begin with, I think JYW was more of a villain at the start, the way he experimented on terminally ill patients, it seems at the start whether for love or not, MYZ had more of a conscience, but after Wangqing died, thats when he started to get obsessed over saving her and turned unto a villain. Like you said, his love and obsession created him.

Definitely agree, needed the 5 loops, the loops before, even though he could have figured out MYZ was squid in like loop 3, he needed all the loops to make sure he had all the information and tool to save everyone in the final loop. And yeh the team were great, they trusted him and he trusted them completely.

I'll check out the guardians, I agree with TJOL, I thought it would be more polished and a higher level production to be honest. Besides the actors, seems a bit low budget which is unfortunate.

Hahaha oh so true!

Yeh exactly, they left it open but sequels are so rare in cdrama world, especially with the same cast, so I'm happy with the ending, and if we get a sequel thats a bonus 😊
