The headquarters of iQIYI International is in Singapore. It's okay because iQIYI International already announced on their social media that the episode will be released today at 12:00 PM. The remaining episodes will return to the regular schedule starting tomorrow at 6:00 PM China time. No need to worry, as the schedule on the mainland China platform is the same as the international version.

For now, don’t worry — it won’t happen yet. However, if the distribution license expires, then we can say the drama has been shelved, since a distribution license for airing has a specific timeframe. Once it expires, it must be reapplied for.

For example, one of Li Hongyi’s dramas from Youku — a historical drama titled Treasure at Dawn — already had its license expired.

The distribution license expiration it's still far, so don't worry at all.

Try messaging one of the approval staff here and ask if they will approve your new poster submission. Send her the link to the new poster so she can check if it’s likely to be approved.

If you try to submit a new poster, there’s a chance the MDL staff will reject it, since the current poster is still being used on iQIYI Mainland China.

All posters currently in use on Mainland Chinese platforms are usually adopted by the MDL page. If the platform updates or changes the poster, you can try submitting the new one then.

Also please read the MDL Rules before submitting.

Airing Calendar?

Thanks, someone already explained to me clearly about douban.

Thanks! Yeah i just curious about Douban but thanks again for clarification.

Is Douban really accurate or not? Can someone here verify?

I always check Douban for ratings, and I also check the drama release status. For example, they listed Legend of the Female General for a January release, but it didn’t air that month. The Journey of Legend was listed for June but didn’t release. Love’s Ambition was also listed for June but didn’t release, Hidden Shadow was listed for May but still hasn’t released. They also previously listed Moonlit Reunion for a May release, but that didn’t happen either. There are many more dramas like this that didn’t air as scheduled.

Is Douban really accurate, or are they just posting rumors? Because I’ve seen someone here say that Douban is accurate.

Look at how many historical dramas from Youku are still unreleased, and some historical dramas are currently filming or about to start filming.

If this drama is produced by their own production company, Alibaba Pictures (which is owned by Alibaba, the parent company of Youku), it will most likely be released faster.

I saw some post on Weibo, "Love In The Clouds" is rumor to be released in winter season.

Don't believe it's a rumor at all, many bloggers on weibo already denied the rumors.

Douban and Baidu is not a 100% reliable source; only Youku can officially announce the release date.

Are you sure are no cdramas airing? Reborn and Created In China is not a cdrama to you?

Hello, does anyone know how many months are left before Hidden Shadow's distribution license expires?

Stop making a fake rumors, No official announcement from MangoTV and tell me how this drama will air without passing the Censorship review and obtain a distribution license? So how?

This drama just wrap up 4 months ago, they still in review process, so it still pending for review from National Radio and Television Administration

It's fake, this mistake is from Vietnam streaming platform, they license to broadcast is currently on hold.

Requesting to delete this comment, this rumors is a mistake from another international streaming platform.

Request to delete to avoid disappoinment and confusion.

Yeah, also still not possible to air since this drama will be broadcast simultaneously on two satellite TV channels—Dragon TV and Beijing TV. Right now, the first prime time slot at 7:30 PM China time is already taken by another currently airing historical drama on Youku, so yeah, it can't be released tomorrow.

Also, the Vietnamese streaming platform got the notice late that it won’t be released on the 22nd, so they had already edited the date on their app—now May 22 doesn’t appear anymore. This rumor started from a mistake made by another international streaming platform.

I'm happy that it will be aired, but I don't like that it's premiering tomorrow. There should have been at least one week of pre-heating before the premiere date. No promotional materials were released beforehand, and I don’t like this sudden Airdrop-style release.
