So funny. A lot of viewers are saying, not just in Twitter but Weibo too, that they have to watch the episodes at least twice because the first time they watched, they were so mesmerized by Dylan's visual, they could not catch the dialogue/subtitles 🤣🤣🤣

Antis are a constant reminder that evil lurks everywhere. I agree, blocking rating of unaired episodes should be doable.

This has gone to the top of drama charts - #1 hot series in Maoyan, #1 TV drama in Vinkage, etc. So, expect antis to try to pull this down. These antis must have such miserable lives, they want to spoil others' fun too.

Regarding rating, only 115 out of 6950 watchers have rated it so far, so it's not worrisome yet. Usually, antis rate dramas down early to try to discourage watchers. Some are even said to rate episodes that have not been released yet. That's how nasty antis are.

I was expecting fluff but this is much better than I expected. Both leads are intelligent and hard-working with high EQ - my type of leads. I'm so relieved that Shu Yi is not a natural coquette - she's a serious career girl, and that Shi Yan did not become interested in her because of her flirty ways. He actually admired her and her writings even before they formally met (they had crossed paths before, when she received an award) and he showed interest in her before she became flirty. A really cute, fun and charming drama 🥰

So excited and glad this is a rom-com. Just what I need rn. Something to make me laugh and swoon. Didi and Bai Lu are both naturally funny and the trailers are already tickling my funny bone, not to mention making me giddy 😊 Counting the hours...

if OFL is going to be raunchy as some kissing scenes indicate, it makes sense to put it in non-primetime slot

This Twitter post says OFL will be broadcast online tomorrow and on Hunan TV on Sunday.

Another twitter post says OFL may air on 11/3 due to an important event on 11/2. I think the important event is the funeral of a former Chinese prime minister. HunanTV is conservative and wants to play it safe. Since Dylan is a top traffic actor, they want to avoid controversy.

Both iQiyi and Viki have posted English synopsis for the series. In iQiyi app, the title has been changed to English and you may now search for it. Hope this means it's dropping really soon.

yeah. chinese entertainment industry is confusing. they sometimes impose rules like censorship, sometimes not; they cut Dylan's sizzling scenes in Unchained Love but not in other dramas. maybe it's as they say, it depends on having powerful backers.

An entertainment ban was announced in China on oct 27 because of the death of a former Chinese minister. As in previous deaths of high officials in China, it was expected that no new content would be released for a week or so. However, Rising With The Wind has announced it's dropping today, so it seems there is no entertainment ban.

it didn't appear even when you scrolled to the right?

yeah, that might be it. they'll probably offer this in more areas later on. i even don't know if i'll get subtitles as the drama title i reserved is in Chinese writing. i hope i don't have to rely on google translation

Google translation is not very good when it comes to dramas. I guess because context is very important in dramas and Google does not pick it up very well. I did that with Youth in the Flames of War and it wasn't a good experience

reserved as in clicked the Reserve button

'wonder if it's because of the entertainment ban

oh, I didn't notice they put the date before. that would have made me so excited

apparently, Mango TV sold the international rights to iQiyi

In iq.com, under Coming Soon, I found a drama with a promotional poster of Didi and Bai Lu. The title is in Chinese writing. There's a Reserve button underneath it.

I went to iq.com and looked for Coming Soon. There's a photo of Didi and Bailu for Only For Love, but the writing is Chinese. Under the photo is a Reserve button which I clicked. I don't know if this is going to be subtitled. We'll see...
