It seems xukai's fans in china were really serious about boycotting spring of the blade.its reservations is not…
It's just simple, production team favoured FL and SML more, so now use them to promote the drama. 😂 FL fans are actively shipping FL with SML and expect ML fans to support. Ridiculous, isn't it? They are just riding on Xu Kai popularity and now they aren't getting that one even doing active promotions lately. Even they put posters outside halls of many award shows and functions.
This drama has very low reservations. Barely reached 111,000. Even Xu Kai's Fire Investigation has already nearing 500k reservations without any promotions or possible tease of releasing. Even Tales of Tiandu has over 180k reservations. I really think Xu Kai fans aren't interested in this one.
I'm going to take the upcoming release of TEF as a positive sign for Hidden Shadow.
Recently released projects by Youku didn't meet their expectations so they released TEF first. Legend of Rosy clouds(A+ rating on S budget) Zhan Zhao Adventures(Barely entered S rating on budget of S+) Light to the Night(A+ rating at S budget) Ashes of Crown( Explosive start and then went downhill)
Youku's last clear hit drama was Veil Of Shadows.
The Eternal Fragrance initial numbers are average(they might get better just like Love Has Fireworks)
So, the question is why they don't want to try this project? Is it really that bad to be premiered or has any other issues? Youku already thinks it will be a flop too. But it's not that big budget drama to be worried about as they are already releasing S+ budget dramas with mediocre results.
wait thats craz. THE glory with chen du ling? as what role tho?
This topic was trending on weibo for quite few days after drama was released and most of them were saying Alen Fang should have accepted the script cause he is an exceptional actor and would have done better.

Yeah Chen Duling one. As it was her first first billing drama, they wanted to cast an actor with relatively low popularity than Chen Duling and has good acting. He refused after quite considerations. Don't know maybe he wanted to do a simple role not a darker role.
Is this all of Asia or just, for example, Thailand?
It's the number one exclusively broadcast historical drama on Tencent Video for the entire year from July 2025 to now. It's the only drama to reach 22nd place on Tencent Video's overall new user growth chart (classic bestsellers) and 16th place on the cumulative new user growth chart during its peak run!
Moonlit Reunion has become the annual champion among Tencent’s exclusive costume dramas from July 2025 to the present, and it is also the No. 1 costume drama in attracting new users.

Youku never learns from it's mistakes. Again and again delaying dramas for years and releasing them with big cuts.
I really like the fact they are getting flops after flops this year.
