Yeah, I wish too. Actually, the reservations have reached 960,000 on the platform. Hopefully, they'll air it by the last quarter of this year.

A Beautiful Lie is not in the lineup for the 3rd quarter (September) of 2024. Let's see if they plan to release it in the 4th quarter. If not, in my opinion, it might be pushed to the 1st quarter of next year (February).

Additionally, iQIYI might be strategizing the best release date to avoid clashing with other major releases or to maximize viewership during peak times.

All the big streaming platforms in Mainland China, like Tencent Video, iQIYI, Youku, and Mango TV, rely heavily on strategizing. They use different tactics to improve their content, draw in viewers, and keep up with the fast-paced world of digital entertainment.

Just stay tuned. Let's see if they release it after the broadcast of Go East.

I suggest checking the iQIYI Mainland China website from time to time for any news about the release. The main website is updated regularly with information about upcoming releases.

Sadly, they did not obtain the distribution license or license to be broadcast. The license is necessary before the series can be broadcast. Despite this series being a bromance, If you know about censorship in China, that’s the reason, this series is a censored adaptation of a same-sex original work.

Yeah, I hope too that this series will have great success soon., just like the parent story. Youku Network is good at producing series, alongside three other networks. When it comes to genres, and especially when the genre tags include 'life,' 'youth,' and 'drama,' Those genres tell us that Youku wants us to cry😂, and I’m a bit excited for the release of this series.

If you want to read the web novel, it has a total of 85 chapters with 4 extra chapters.

Additionally, if you scroll down to the comments section, you can see my comments about why BJT is fit for the role.

Bai Jingting was a great choice for the role in The First Frost because the character demands someone who can handle deep emotions and melodrama. His ability to express emotions and deliver in intense scenes really made him the perfect fit.

Let me explain, It's not Victor Ma because Hidden Love's Sang Yan is from Sang Zhi's point of view, while First Frost's Sang Yan is from Wen Yifan's point of view. If you read the novels, you'll understand! Also, even if the stories are connected, Sang Yan's personality and appearance are very different. REMEMBER First Frost is a sequel or spin-off, not a Season 2 of Hidden Love (THAT'S WHY DIFFERENT CAST); it tells a different story. First Frost focuses on the male and female leads' points of view. but don't expect Sang Yan from Hidden Love to be the same in First Frost. First Frost expands the perspectives of both leads.

Whether a sequel drama keeps the same cast or brings in new actors depends on the storyline and creative vision. If the sequel is a direct continuation of the original story, like a Season 2, it's more common to keep the same cast. However, if the sequel is more of a spin-off or focuses on different aspects of the story (like new characters or a different time period), a new cat might be chosen to better fit the new direction.

In some cases, even if it's not a direct sequel, the production team might change the cast to offer a fresh perspective or to align with a different creative approach. But it's all about what best serves the story they're trying to tell!

I suggest regularly checking the iQIYI Mainland China website for the 'Coming Soon' section or anything related to upcoming releases. The main website is updating regularly with upcoming releases.

I recommend using a VPN when accessing the Mainland China website of iQIYI to see many upcoming series. You can still access the Mainland China website without a VPN, but there will be limited access or restrictions.
