It's the first time I see a drama's viewers need to explain why it is popular, just because it doesn't center around romance and isn't lead by an ultra popular actress!
No offense (I genuinely don't wish to come off as rude) but some people coming here leaving these type of questions honestly make me question their thinking ability.

Are you really that much of a stranger to the concept of casual-friendy?
Us non fans do exist. We don't choose that one drama we're gonna watch per several months, based on numbers or who's the most popular in China. We don't care about some index number in another country and have little idea of who's the top trend each year. We see a poster/trailer, watch a couple episodes, if we like it, we watch the rest and finally leave some ratings if we feel like it.

Please use spoiler tag😒

There's alway a bit of romance in almost every Cdrama. But if you mean romance-centered dramas, I disagree. In China maybe. But globally, that's not the case. Take Mysterious Lotus Casebook and Reset. Not to mention the most popular Cdrama of probably the century is The Untamed.

Besides, not beating a romantic drama in popularity doesn't equal being unpopular.

Edit: I take it back about China. If romantic dramas were unbeatable, they wouldn't feel the need to restrict and even ban bromance dramas. Had Immortality, Winner Is King, Eternal Faith, etc been allowed to air, the romance drama airing alongside them would be in big trouble.

I was. The drama isn't all that. But your question sounded so odd to me I could only reply with a parody of the romance aspect of it. Sorry for any possible confusions.

That sounds more like ZYC now than WX

Wdym no romance? This show is about an old cute married couple who keep falling in and out. There's also hints of others falling for the leads. In the meantime, the guy's ex keeps interfering with their life and I'm starting to question (despite myself) if the ex might actually have a point.

I had the same problem. I strongly suspect it's my ad blocker.

Maybe it's just me but I actually appreciate this drama not going in fast forward like a lot of costume dramas' been doing recently. For instance, for WoH I had to watch it in 90% speed for it to not sound weirdly modern, and for me to actually feel the moments.

Can't believe there actually exist people who don't realize these are not the same.
Taking drugs is a choice. Being born a demon isn't.

More painful and disturbing than episode 17? Highly doubt it.

For now I remember these:
Ep 18 preview:

Actually that was the impression I got from several pictures and videos I've seen these few days around the web (mostly by accident. I prefer to avoid spoilers). But if I find any of them again, I'll share with you.

I said in despair that there's exactly and only one way for them to really understand his pain, didn't expect it to actually happen 😳
Or I might be interpreting the previews completely wrong.

I see. But if he wasn't there, doesn't that mean the scene didn't include him?

This somehow gives me hope for the ending.
Btw, I wish they hadn't cut the part you mentioned. It'd leave a stronger impression.

What's a spoiler shoot?

No offense but you're probably wasting your precious time. Look at their watchlist.

Who's from the future, rating unaired episodes? 🧐 Show yourself! I have a few questions.

This is so interesting!
Shen Nu and Cheng Huang are practically in the same position as WX and ZYZ.
Fei brings calamity and one can say WX is trapped in her weak body.
