Please don’t ever ask to shelve a drama. Making a drama involves a lot of expense and the hard work of many people. And this is a mythological drama, not something based on real events or something that would present incorrect facts. It would be a loss for Youku as well. Besides, this is a 40-episode drama.

She’s not that bad the way you’re dragging her down. Maybe she hasn’t become that popular yet, but she does have some good works like the films Better Days, The Moment We Share, Yesterday Once More, and dramas like Word of Honor, Back from the Brink, and The Legend of Female General. I don’t think she would create issues over billing, maybe her agency is handling the negotiations. And she’s not as bad as she’s being portrayed. The real issue is that the production company is taking advantage because of Xu Kai’s Xu Lisha incident. I’m not saying this just because it’s a female-centric drama–this kind of story is something iQIYI often does.

Maybe there is a problem. But if the drama does well, then it is solved. Many times, the original novel is not kept because everyone knows the plot, maybe it is a budget issue. Xu Kai usually acts in female-centric dramas, so if he doesn't feel the inconvenience, it is okay.

I said younger that's mean 95 line & below. Zhou Ye not consider traffic but she is a good actress. Zhou Ye is a golden rooster nominee actress (Most prestigious film award in China) and Beijing Film Academy graduate. She is just not traffic but she fine actress.

More importantly, both In Blossom and VOS had to compete with dramas from other platforms. When In Blossom was released, Tencent’s Legend of Shen Li and an iQIYI drama starring Ren Jialun were also being released. VOS is also clashing with dramas from Tencent and iQIYI. That’s why it’s performing quite well. Although many Youku dramas reach 10k, most of them don’t face this level of competition.

This is 30 episode drama not 40 episode drama. How you sure he won't get screen time. You're demotivating others to not watch this drama. This drama has enough chance to be hit because casting selection good. Zhao Ye is the best actress among all the younger actresses Xu Kai has acted with. She has a good film career but is relatively not too old to drama.

This drama based on female centric novel. But I think you are wrong, trailer full of Zhou Ye & Xu Kai. So, maybe he will receive proper screen time. Some people spreading rumors here.

When one platform announces the release of a drama, another one follows right after. There’s no need to rush and release everything at once. Moreover, this year iQiyi has some very good dramas under its lineup. If they wanted, they could even release it next year, but TEF license will expire, so they could release it at that time instead.

Ha ha, Youku can be bad in some cases, but it’s a thousand times better than Mango TV. Mango TV uses machine-translated subtitles, while Youku has much better casting selections. Mango TV 🥭 doesn’t even come close to that.

Youku doesn’t release more than two dramas a month, and even then not at the same time—they release one after another. Now, Light to the Night is probably releasing on the 26th, so I don’t think this one will come out tomorrow. If it’s a surprise release, that’s a different matter. But I think it would be better if they release it in Q3 or Q4. However, it would be better not to release it at the same time as the main lead’s other drama.
Mango TV doesn’t really have a proper schedule. Even if the lead actor of a drama has another drama releasing on a different platform, they still go ahead and release theirs anyway. Also, one of Song Weilong’s dramas 🥭 is supposed to be released in June/July, and one of Ju Jingyi’s dramas is confirmed to be released this year, according to producer Wang Yixu.
I think Youku will understand better when the right time is, since this is their own drama.

I think Youku will release it if it gets a good timeslot. And now Ju Jingyi and Song Weilong's last drama is a hit. Youku can release it at the right time.

Legend of Yunxi dark horse drama iQiyi in 2018. At that time there was no heat index system else all of her drama reach heat index 10k. Ju Jingyi won the Best Actress (Web Series) award at the 1st Annual China Canada Television Festival Award in 2019 for Legend Of Yunxi.

Tencent and iQiyi air two three drama at the same time. But for potential star they consider time slot. Heat index manipulated by platform specially Tencent and iQiyi do it more for their favourite. Youku air 1 drama in a month so they've no option..

See character contribution.
Lu Wuyi 39% from her side

Hate her ok fine. To be honest Ju Jingyi side has highest contribution It was always 32-38% according to many chart. Ju Jingyi fans highest viewers who watched this drama.

In Beauty of Resilience, his character is meant to be a grey character, not fully good or evil—but it didn’t come across convincingly.
The actor’s baby face didn’t match the negative traits well, and the subtle expressions needed for a layered performance were lacking. As a result, the character felt less impactful.

Guo Junchen not good fit for cheater character.

No. Tencent air 2/3 dramas every month at the same time, same goes to iQiyi. But Youku air only one drama. I read in a website, Youku is generally considered the easiest of the three major platforms to achieve its top-tier heat index milestone, while Tencent Video and iQIYI are more difficult due to higher user volume and stricter thresholds.

Tencent and iQiyi more hard to reach 30k or 10k. Youku heat index easier compared to Tencent & iQiyi.
