The thing is you have posted these rankings of 2024 tencent heat index list on x but dafeng is not there because it didn't reach 30k on 2024 so reasonable to not include it there because it didn't happen yet but when 2025 ranking happens & we still don't see dafeng ranking on x then most will wonder where it is??
Putting it on 2024 now means nothing when most people have already seen your 2024 ranking list at the end of the year & now looking forward to 2025 list. Most will not go back to see if dafeng is added now. Plus, the fact i saw comments under your post asking that "what drama will be first one to reach 30k for tencent this year? " when it is a "fact" that dafeng reached 30k "THIS" year that's why your post feels misleading because many see & think no drama this year reached 30k heat index when that is false

Yeah I am not gonna debate on this further because this will go longer if i start providing all the data so I'll just answer your question: if a drama is mostly aired on 2024 then heat index will most likely be from that year too but even if it is not, i think putting it on 2024 list is not wrong because at the end of the day, it is 2024 drama which peaked at the end & reached 30k. With dafeng, our disagreement is mainly on that you consider it 2024 drama so let me ask you a rhetorical question: if a drama airs on 31 dec then you will consider it 2024 drama despite it airing almost all of it's episodes on 2025??
All of it's popularity, rating & metric is achieved on 2025 but we are fixated on putting it on previous year list because it started on 31 dec 2024 & doesn't matter if it was basically a jan 2025 drama because it aired few hours before new year. That's the logic you are using for gotd & it feels illogical. But since you have made up your mind then i am done explaining it to you why it is wrong to not rank it here

It is stupid to include it in 2024 because gotd broadcasting period was 53 days out of which it only aired on last 4 days of 2024 & 49 days it aired on 2025. It reached 30k on jan 11 but just because it started on dec 28th we are gonna ignore the fact that tencent itself consider it their first hit drama of 2025?? Yunhe list rank dafeng as their top 3 drama of 2025. Most of us completed this drama this year because it aired mostly this year. When you exclude a drama from all 2025 list but many audience & platforms in China consider it 2025 drama then it gives the impression that drama failed to achieve these goals because anyone checking this will expect dafeng to be here & if they don't find it, they think it didn't achieve it. Same with listing ratings of 2025 dramas on mdl but not mentioning gotd. I would have understand if more than half of the drama was broadcasted on 2024 but this feels trying to censor its achievements & giving wrong impression to audience. Our source of info should be based on facts & not personal opinions. I hope you understand what I am saying & maybe update this list because it is really unfair to exclude a drama from all these lists when it aired mostly this year

Why guardians of the dafeng is not here? It reached 30k heat index on Jan 11,2025. Tencent consider it their first explosive cdrama of this year & mdl didn't even include it??

It isn't officially announced yet & we all just know this rumor

Broadcasting period is still ongoing. Views have decreased a lot so heat might not be that high rn. The trend for tff is 30-35 million views per ep on yunhe. The drama market condition is very bad in China rn. Most dramas are suffering to even get 30 million views per ep & very few got over 40-50 million views per ep this year so far

Tbh i also only watch main couple moments mostly on rewatch so i get you haha

But she said she don't like slow nature & repeated flashbacks whereas L&P has flashback for 17-18 eps without going back & forth in past & present so i think she might like it. I remember forgetting that i was watching the flashback until they went to present again 🤣

I recommend lighter & princess if you like hate to love trope

How did you check this?

If you want a fluffy & feel good lighthearted drama then try when i fly towards you. It is by the same author who wrote the first frost & Hidden love

This isn't accurate. TFF is definitely the first modern romance hit cdrama of this year but overall it isn't the only drama which is considered hit in china. Under the skin s2, Drifting away, Guardians of the dafeng & Flourished Peony are all ranked higher in terms of avg views per ep

I haven't watched any modern cdramas of this year yet but out of all 3 currently airing, this one interest me the most

Yeah I don't get why it is taking them this long.... hopefully nothing will be cut

It is way easier to pass 10k heat index on youku tbh. Not that hard as compare to other platforms. TFF reached the milestone with only 30 million views that day so i think this might have a chance.

I am not sure. Like i heard transmigration stories & time traveling plot is also banned. The only way a drama can pass censorship is if they show character entering the game (like in dafeng) or character seeing a dream (LGIEF). This is because there was a case where two people unlive themselves & reason was to transmigrate to another world (this was written in their suicide note) so yeah they are more strict with these stories being shown to large amount of people and the impact it can have on masses. However, i don't know if anime or kdramas etc are also censored in china or this is just the case with chinese medium because anime is filled with isekai plots & kdramas have many time travel stories etc

I heard from some netizens that they relate to XQA remembering only half of the poems because in china, they learn poems in school but don't remember them fully later on. In the drama, XQA has also learned these poems in his school but after coming to dafeng, he is using that knowledge to his advantage by plagiarizing these poems which are composed by famous authors of his previous world
Fun Fact: In ep 5 when he is telling poems to Xu Xinnian, he discard this poem "under the moonlight, baby i love you" because it sounds inappropriate for the era he is in. However this is also a joke for Dylan wang fans because this is lyrics of his famous song "Seaside tango" in real world

This is what i am wondering too 😭
There is literally no news about it except the teaser & wrap up video we got. Reservation? no clue, broadcasting liscence? no clue. The only thing i heard is that it will come in june according to rumors

Because they think audience is too stupid & will be influenced if a popular actor plays the role of villain/anti hero. Look at how japan is able to tell so many amazing stories with all sorts of genre through their anime. It's sad how much cdramas are limited in their storytelling. It's not like China don't have complex characters. If you have read chinese novels, you will know how many complex stories are written in China but sadly they cannot be made into dramas

This is one of my dream scripts for him. But i heard in china, they don't want to show villain in good light so we rarely see anti hero/villain type characters especially in realistic setting
