There has been no melons about next drama yet, while others are already getting melons about their next drama despite just joining shooting for a new drama. It has been 3 to 4 months since confession rumors, I know about the movie but I fear another 2020-2021, 2023-24 type of drought where no drama for next year. I mean having just 5 to 6 dramas in last 8 years since his debut in 2018 is very underwhelming

you are right, lets see what happens

Doesn't matter if it's dual platform or not. Tencent will not have multiple costume dramas air at the same time. So yes until this drama completes its airing no other costume drama will be broadcast

new rumour/melon --- march 27

I browse chinese social media from time to time, the order of broadcasting remains the same as per the latest rumors. Also, This is definitely not coming mid march more like late march or early next month

lets see what they do for love beyond the grave, keeping my expectations low

Not much promotion and don't think they even pushed the main cp which is needed to attract the online audience. It could have certainly reached 29k or 30k with a little bit of promotion but they went full on promoting another drama since last 3 or 4 days with so many things to boost/inflate its viewership that this drama might not have received even 20%. of that. This drama only became successful through good word of mouth it got from tv viewership

Doing Love beyond the grave might end up being a mistake as I feel the production team is not that good especially the script writer and the female lead seems to having issues with her agency so they might cause some problems during airing. Don''t want talk about Tencent too much since its still far away from release but the way they handled Love story in 1970's in last few days has left a bitter taste in my mouth

not sure but I don't remember it getting

Crossed 100m views in a single day, becomes the first drama this year to hit 100m views in a single day https://x.com/MyAsianDramaonX/status/2029856884677824572

It's unlikely come in March now, Pursuit of jade will finish airing on April first week according to its airing calendar

Watch the calendar, it will resume on saturday

reopen my journals from last year had a similar ending

forget about eng sub, the movie itself was not released in china due to some issues

This movie was huge hit in china, these type of movies are mostly watched by middle aged and older generation people

He already did the dubbing

It doesn't matter who the leads are, I will also never agree for a cdrama adaptation of a novel I like. Cdramas are notorious for ruining adaptations

This is another good point. I don’t really understand the purpose of this trope where the female lead gives her all in a past relationship, only to be treated badly or indifferently by her ex. Then, when she ends up with the male lead, she treats him the same way. Does this trope unintentionally suggest that “green flag” male leads are just pushovers or less desirable, while the toxic ex is the one she truly liked and put effort into?

Honestly, I feel like many Cdrama female leads don’t deserve their male leads. In a lot of dramas, the romance feels very one-sided. The male lead is usually the one who initiates everything, confessing first, planning dates, and making grand gestures, while the female lead tends to be passive and simply goes along with it.

When you look at what male leads often do for the female leads, it’s a long list of sacrifices, acts of protection, and romantic effort. Meanwhile, female leads rarely seem to reciprocate in the same way. Even in small, everyday gestures like cooking for the male lead, I can hardly recall idol dramas where that happens. Instead, it’s often the male lead who is portrayed as a five-star chef cooking for the female lead.

Personally, I always thought when people call a male lead a green flag or even a green forest, it usually refers to how much effort he puts into winning the female lead’s love and attention. Female leads are rarely described that way, probably because they are not shown putting in the same level of visible effort.

what does green flag even mean here?
