But the series will end on 25th not 24th. The special epiosdes will drop on 24th.
Oh that's quite easily explained. The official Twitter account of Cherry Magic for example mentions that episode 11 will be on the 17th (thursday) but we all know it airs on 1 am at night so shouldn't that be the 18th for Japan?

Japan will for midnight dramas often use the previous date and for example refer to it as an 1st January drama at 25:00 while its actually 2nd January 1 am.
Here's another example of episode 10:

Alright so I was making my daily visit to the Cherry Magic Weibo page and saw a user post a list of Cherry Magic details based on other Chinese social media posts they had seen. One of them interested me so I looked into it a bit myself.

So they noted that the car license plate of the onigiri seller is 12-24. The day of the final episode of Cherry Magic.

The name of the onigiri seller shop is ''真 む す び'' which has the word '''真'' or makoto in it which means true. It also has the word ''む す び'' (kanji version: 結び) or musubi in it which has multiple meanings. It can refer to both a rice ball or a conclusion. So either making the meaning ''True riceballs'' or ''True conclusion'' (which fits with the license plate date 12-24).

This last part is just some extra searching I did. More importantly though, musubi can also refer to a rope knot or union. One of the more important rope knots in Japanese culture being the Mizuhiki (水引 ) which can be given during important events like marriage. Now obviously this last one may be a big reach but I thought it was fun to include anyway. I'd love to hear opinions of others if I got things wrong.

Title Break
in China, even a gay app BLUED, the country it is slowly opening up, because if she wants to be a world power…
I hope so, we shall see what happens. China obviously has a huge BL fanbase so mayby its just a matter of time, in the end its all up to the media overseers though.

On The Untamed Dec 13, 2020
Title The Untamed
Just dropping in to say that I love Untamed. Its been the drama that brought me into the drama world. These rating drops or ranking positions won't ever affect that.

Its not important which ranking Untamed has at the end. I discovered Untamed cause its donghua/animation randomly showed up as if it was fate, not because of the MDL popularity lists. Whatever MDL does is not that important, fans can find our own ways to promote if needed.

I'm personally watching a jdrama that started out from nothing, a few hundred watchers. It grew not because of MDL but because fans spread the word themselves. In the end it has always been us drama fans that are the backbone and a system can't replace that. We're not just on MDL, we have every kind of social media to our disposal if needed to spread the good word. Yes it does hurt to see shows we love being rated low but we will adapt to the new circumstances as long as the love for a drama keeps us working together. The community will ALWAYS be more important than a number.

I do strongly discourage infighting between fandoms cause I know that tends to happen with these sorts of events. Its not going to change the new rating algorithm MDL adopted even if we feel injustice is being done. Everyone has their own taste in drama and if I don't like something I'll just avoid it. Whether someone is a kdrama, jdrama, cdrama, BL or lakorn fan. We're all on this site together in the end and while some dramas definitely got a heavier rating hit we all felt it. Every drama has the ability to bring something beautiful or interesting. My love for all dramas started from Untamed and I'm forever thankful to LWJ and WWX

Title The Untamed
I am unable to get over CQL. Can someone recommend a drama that is similar to this one? I am eagerly waiting for…
The donghua of Heavens Official Blessing is airing right now. Might be interesting to check out even if its not a drama.
