Please help! Why can’t I reserve this drama on Youku? Is it just me?
Are you reserving on Youku China?
If it’s on Youku China, you need to create an account — you can sign up or sign in using your WeChat or Weibo account.
If it’s on Youku International, please note that the international version of Youku China doesn’t have a reservation feature. It’s only available on Youku China, which is the main server.
Love and Crown appears on official Weixin or WeChat account of Jiangsu TV, so it seems it will be broadcast also on Jiangsu TV (Maybe during prime time).
Can someone tell me if the drama will also be available on Youku China (not Youku International)? When I checked Youku China server, the drama When I Meet the Moon still appears there and even lists the cast names.
Can you help me request to change the poster of Speed and Love drama with the new released poster? https://x.com/inxmyplace/status/1986725822284345807?t=ZBd3EaOVrDZriDGO3jAOsg&s=19I…
MDL can't change the poster since the current poster is currently used on iQIYI China. MDL follows the promotional poster that appears on iQIYI China since iQIYI China is the main server and main distributor of the drama.
MDL can change the poster only if the poster used on iQIYI China is changed as well.
I heard a rumor that Esther has been banned. I hope it's not true and they say this series will air in 2026. Someone…
Fake news. She’s not banned, she’s already the iQIYI International Global Ambassador. If she were banned, why would iQIYI appoint her? She also recently attended the iQIYI Conference in Thailand.
Don’t believe everything you see on overseas social media. Sometimes those posts are made out of hate and meant to spread false information about Esther Yu.
Always check weibo for verification of all information what you see on overseas social media.
👑 November 14th Release is Valid. Love and Crown with its's premiere date already on the tv show list at Youku…
Sorry for disagreeing about using that source as a legitimate reference. I used TMDb at first, but I got a bit disappointed because the information there is often inaccurate. That’s why I switched to MDL. Sometimes that website provides incorrect drama details, wrong cast lineups, or inaccurate synopses for some C-dramas, so I’m not sure if it’s a reliable source for Chinese dramas.
still no news about licensing :/ melon sources all say Q1 but I guess they're waiting for the broadcast license…
It’s not for approval; it’s for issuance. The drama was submitted for the review process a month ago, and the review process and distribution approval are two different things.
The review process focuses on censorship and content compliance, while distribution approval is the official license to release the drama. The NRTA will only grant a distribution license once the drama has successfully passed the review process. Without passing the review, a drama cannot obtain the distribution license and therefore cannot be aired.
Based on NRTA portal, the drama is still tagged as under review, so maybe by December or beginning of 2026 NRTA can approved the drama and issued a distribution approval (Distribution License).
According to Chen Feiyu’s team, he has always been the top choice for the male lead in Gao Bai.
However, this producer claimed during his livestream that the production team of Gao Bai wanted to cast Wang Xingyue instead.
He always tries to take credit or steal projects from others.
For now monitor any updates on Weibo.
If it’s on Youku China, you need to create an account — you can sign up or sign in using your WeChat or Weibo account.

Youku is the only one who will confirmed the release date.
It's rumor also to air on Jiangsu Satellite TV (Waiting for confirmation).
Waiting for official announcement ☺️
