Honestly, I believe fans should stop treating kisskh as the ultimate authority on whether a drama is good or bad.
Overdo is currently dominating the Chinese market. It debuted at #1 on the Maoyan Heat Index, surpassed 50 million effective views within just a few hours, and is breaking popularity records on both iQIYI and Tencent Video. Zhang Linghe has even surpassed his own previous records from Pursuit of Jade. Internationally, the drama is already trending on iQIYI International, WeTV, and Rakuten Viki, while hashtags related to the series have gone viral on Weibo with millions of interactions.
What makes MDL seem unreliable is not only the negativity, but also the way its rating system can be manipulated. The platform allows users to rate episodes before they are even released, which means some people give the lowest possible score without having watched the episode at all. That is not an objective evaluation; it is a premeditated negative vote.
And one more thing: the fact that some people focus so heavily on the AI effects or the directing shows how much the drama’s massive success bothers them. Personally, those things do not bother me at all; on the contrary, I genuinely enjoy the aesthetics and atmosphere of the series. For me, compared to the power of the lead duo Zhang Linghe and Wang Churan, those details become secondary. Their chemistry, the tension between the characters, and the emotions they convey are what have won over millions of viewers.
So, if you are enjoying Overdo, do not let the MDL score ruin your experience. Real viewing data, audience engagement, and rankings on China’s major platforms provide a far more complete picture of the drama’s success than a rating system that can be influenced before episodes even air. No matter how much some people try to undermine the drama with premature low ratings and negative comments, Overdo’s trajectory shows that its success is driven by real audiences, not by the negativity of a small group of users.
I think 28 episodes for this drama is really the right episodes that we should have.
At first, I believed that 28 episodes seems shorter considering other costume dramas usually around 30 and more. But with this drama, since the pacing from the beginning is quite fast, it is appropriate to have these amount of episodes.
Since I really DISLIKE too much dragging or filler episodes. It makes a 10/10 drama lose its worthy score because of its dragging scenes. I encountered some dramas like that, where I truly enjoy watching the drama but having it with shorter episodes is better than having to drag a scene or have filler episodes just to fill those remaining episodes (or even ruin a great drama because of an unnecessary scene).
I truly hope this drama gives us a proper ending episodes with right amount of scenes that we need to uncover and see. No need to have those draggy scenes with too many episodes..
Once again, this drama is a masterpiece and I enjoy every episodes so far (of course there are some episodes that are favorable to me because of some certain scenes hehe), and as we are nearing the end of its eps release, I look forward to see this drama to be a success until the end!
Can we stop casting barely legal actors in romantic roles, especially opposite significantly older costars? I…
I might hate Xie Jia Yu if a mature actress played this role. And the answer to your question is Aimi has 10 years of experience and has been acting in this romantic genre since she was 13. It's very logical for an experienced 17 years old teenager to play a role of 16 years old bright XJY. Bailu's Yeli could be a teenager in the novel, but the character wasn't like that. Acting cute, throwing tantrum, pouting cutely, Yeli didn't have to do that. Viewers who watched the show are satisfied with the casting. Only non-watchers can't except it without even knowing how much romance is there.
XJY wearing her Consort XWY's attire, in the palace: just to remind A Mao that she had started new chapter in her life, and that she had long since been XWY's woman
