Ratings have no value before the drama ends, especially in the first week of airing. A lot of people give their ratings based only on a first episode (what for me doesn't make any sense but it is how it is), there is also a lot of actor/drama haters which will give 1 without even watching the drama.

I would add that Viki is good if you don't care that much about the video quality.
iQIYI VIP lets you watch in 1080p what can not be a case for Viki.

Rating has nothing to do with the drama's value until the drama ends, especially in the first week of airing.
Did you see The Double rated 7.9 during the first episodes? Because I did and it sounds ridiculous

I started watching the 52ep version and dropped after a few episodes because I felt confused and couldn’t get into the story.

Started watching directors cut and now it all makes sense. This added scenes in first episodes really made a difference for me.

It’s definitely getting more serious since ep 5, trailer didn’t give it a justice. Can’t wait for the story to unfold but I feel it’s good to have some tissues prepared

I agree, till ep3/4 I was like “it’s okay” but since ep5 I’m fully invested, now the fun begins

His acting as Yin Ya in disguise made me laugh so hard!

I was sceptic after the first 3 episodes, with ep 4 it's getting better, but ep 5 & 6 got me all in, story is getting more interesting and the dynamic between characters is also getting better. I dare to say the first episodes feel kinda cheap and the chemistry is not there at all, it's like a different drama

Why are the episodes so short? 35 minutes?! Ep 3 was a longer one, over 45 minutes but what happened to other ones? Is it caused by some cuts during the censorship? 🥲

Yeah, I recall the MJTY and TPR one and I love it, I lean towards your theory, everyone wants to see him wet is legit 😂😂😂

I am still a little bit traumatized after LYF underwater scenes 😅 Such a refreshing experience to see actors being really wet 😅

I’m rewatching HL right now and it’s exactly like that. In ep19 he mentions he has a girlfriend but Sang Zhi thinks he’s joking 😅

No, he's definitely not a monk and he keeps reminding it to other people at least a few times (in drama, idk how about the donghua)

Rumored to air late August.

👏👏👏

Finally! 🎉🎉🎉

Oh no, I hope we will get more of them together till the end of this drama

I would say both Wenjun and Yue Yao. Those ladies will definitely make the male leads more involved in political affairs. Them and Xiao Ruofeng.

I agree 100% with your review. That’s exactly what I was thinking about all of the characters after finishing this drama.

Facts! But it was ridiculous that it was rated 7.9 during the first episodes
