For me, this drama will still be release next month but around late May. Since another historical drama from Youku "The legend Of Zang Hai" (S++ drama) is now rumor to release in May 5.
This just my speculation, hidden shadow will air after The legend of Zang Hai end air.
How's the first 6 episodes? It is good?. Since I read one comment here said theCGI is bad and the dubbing, and rated Below 5. Is it really bad? I want another someone opinion if good or bad before I start watching.
I am so frustrated with this bro ... I've been waiting for this like 1 year... I don't prefer wuxia dramas that…
If you can't wait in 1 year, Go to china and Apply to work as editing team and apply to censorship board from NRTA who reviewed and approved the drama and issued a distribution license

Are you new to c-drama? Please make a research first before you comment why cdrama take long to air, why international fans like you don't even know why? and also they just recently obtained a distribution license.
Here one of the explanation of the one user here in MDL about why historical drama takes long. PLEASE READ CAREFULLY AND UNDERSTAND.
Historical takes at least a year for the production team to do all the editing which cannot be rushed otherwise it will look unfinished/sloppy even if it passes censorship & gets a distribution license the network won't air it right away since there are so many dramas coming out every month they have figure out the time slot before they can decide to release it while everything has to be planned perfectly for the cast when they do the promotional events. The Chinese government being overly strict w/ their law/rules & regulations we "fans" have no choice but to wait patiently no matter how long it takes for this whenever they want to premiere it someday it's just the way it has been over there.
For those still confused about why the cast is so insane: this drama has an S+ budget, so it's reasonable for an S, S+, or S++ drama to cast well-known actors.
For those asking when This drama will release, this drama will be released next year. Don't be mad if next year.
Please take note for all new cdrama watchers it takes time for both modern and historical C-dramas to air
They need to go through post-production, which includes editing, dubbing, and more. After that, they must be strictly reviewed by the Censorship Board. The drama must be approved and issued a distribution license. Without passing the review and obtaining this license, C-dramas cannot be aired or distributed.
A 2026 release is reasonable, especially when considering the planned broadcast schedule. Every month, many new dramas are released
That's too far away. I can manage 6 months before I fall into depression...
