I already made an edit about that, but unfortunately, the MDL staff declined my submission because Peace and Joy is still the English title used on WeTV International. They will only approve the name Romance Nextdoor once WeTV officially changes it.
According to my inquiry with the WeTV Facebook support team, Peace and Joy is still the official title given by Tencent Video in Mainland China. WeTV cannot change it, as they have not yet received the updated title from Mainland China.
Damn it's on iqiyi, I didn't even realize. Poor 'Wanted detective', about to get overshadowed by this on its own…
Lotfg is only available on iQIYI International, not in Mainland China. Since Wanted Detective has only an A-tier budget, iQIYI was able to acquire it from another platform. This is also part of iQIYI’s marketing strategy, especially with Cheng Lei’s drama Shadow Love—an iQIYI original—set to release in Q4 2025.
For Mainland China, the drama will be broadcast on Tencent Video, MangoTV, and Hunan Satellite TV.
For international audiences, the platforms handling the broadcast will be WeTV, MangoTV International, iQIYI International, WeTV-iFlix, and Viki.
UGH LET IT DROPPPPPPPPPPPPP PLEASE RELEASE SOOONNN
It can't be released for now, the drama still not passed the review and approved the total episodes, and also still don't have a distribution license for airing.
Before the cdrama can be broadcast, need to undergo Post production and review process, it takes 5 months - 1 year or less to complete all the process. The filming just finished few months ago.
I just realized that this is the only drama airing on a different platform. Hidden Love and The First Frost are on Youku, while When I Meet the Moon is on iQIYI. I'm not exactly sure why they changed the online platform and co-produced, does anyone know the reason? I'm wondering if it's because Wajijiwa and Youku are making a remake of Hidden Love, which the author didn’t authorize. Could that be the reason?
A drama starring one of the tboy cast was supposed to air in May. It already had an investment promotion for May release , but rumors say it was postponed due to low investor.
Gong Jun is more valuable, more handsome, more popular obviously…and the list goes on
Indeed. Additionally, if the drama begins its pre-broadcast investment promotion, the number of brands willing to invest will largely depend on the popularity and influence of the main leads/drama.
When choosing the cast, it's also important to consider the drama's budget. For A+, S, S+, and S++ level dramas, the lead actors are usually selected from B-list or A-list actors. Additionally, if the drama begins its investment promotion, the number of brands willing to invest will largely depend on the popularity and influence of the main leads.
Pre-broadcast investment promotion will start before the broadcast schedule.
