Person Arthur Chen
It feels like what I said earlier is proving to be true the era of Xianxia/fantasy dramas may be fading, especially with the underperformance of Love Beyond the Grave. The fact that we have to look nearly two years back to find a major hit, like The Legend of Shen Li, says a lot. Another factor could be that younger female audiences may struggle to self insert into stories where the female lead is older, which might be affecting the show’s appeal as well.
