This is a CCTV drama, the censors are as strict as they come. What you are describing as "dark romance" would never pass the review. So at least show the source for these claims.
So much fun! Just ignore the "minor" questions about other people. It's fun to follow the leads, good blend of action and just enough comedy. Great movie to relax your brain and give yourself an entertaining vacation. If you are looking for something serious, then this is definitely not it.
Toyoshima Hana carried a lot in this movie, really a great job from such a young actress. I was really pleasantly surprised.
Overall the acting was quite good, with just a minor wobble here or there. It pairs with some excellent camera work, nice effects and a plot that's a bit thin.
You won't see a masterpiece if you watch it but it will be enjoyable, which is enough.
Not a good time for TV ratings. We have entrance exams at the beginning of June which really are considered the most important moment in a young person's life. So the TVs are off, the whole family bends to the preparations. Usually the highest ratings are winter vacation and lowest around this time and beginning of June before it starts to rise again.
Biggest rumor out now is May 17th. Seems very likely because this is pretty much the time that has been talked about and it fits with CCTV schedule and upcoming dramas. So, very awkward timing but it's coming.
There are a lot of bad faith melons flying around right now. Nothing even remotely reliable. As soon as I see it, I will post. Rumors are still saying second half of May (so that melon that said around the 18th) but nothing new just yet that is more certain.
i know xiao zhan stays low keybut why are this crew low key too?is this some sort of promo style in c-ent to stay…
It's a bit complicated. One, it is not Youku that decides the broadcast date. Whenever a drama is to be shown on CCTV it is CCTV alone that decides on it. Youku has no influence. They have to wait for it to be announced to get publicity going. At best we might get a trailer.
Two, Xiao Zhan doesn't do varieties or similar. Keep in mind that this is a male focused drama so it is difficult to do publicity outside of him. On occasion, like with WDB, there might be a whole cast thing but this will be later on if we are lucky.
Overall, it's unfortunately just one of those things we are used to. Very little to no publicity before the drama starts. It's not great but what can we do. Maybe it will be different this time but personally I am not hoping for it, to avoid being disappointed. CXFX usually do their own promo in China but Youku is also good at it so probably the best we can hope for is that once the drama starts, they go all out.
Whoever changed the photo deleted her comment. I don't know why she was afraid of people finding out who it was,…
SBMS has the wrong synopsis. We tried and tried to get it fixed because it is detrimental to the drama but we never succeeded. I think we are going to end up stuck with this photo too.
Is Xiaozhan really the main role? He only appears for a few minutes in some episodes and then disappears.
He is the main role but Xinli used this drama as a springboard for the hockey couple, especially the hockey guy, that was supposed to take up the role of YBY in JOL2 that was previously done by XZ.
So they wanted to use SBMS and XZ's popularity to launch him. It caused major backlash that even the director had to address it at one point (and he talked nonsense that got everyone even more mad) and ultimately it of course didn't work. It's impossible to force popularity. But it damaged this drama to a large extent. Xinli has done this before, used big names to launch newbies so it wasn't the first time either. This is always done without the main actors knowing. Additional material is filmed and the main gets deleted while the whoever needs pushing is inserted. Luckily this was the last contractual obligation XZ had towards Xinli so he is free from them.
Don't share anymore about the rumors date, u already cause a problem here, just look at your comment below.Gonna…
I agree we can't and I don't think we should even think about policing content here but I think it's ok to ask to just please be as careful as possible if the news is from Weibo/anything Chinese. Crazy money goes into black marketing and it hasn't even started properly for ZHZ but Weibo and Douban already have water armies attacking the drama big time and marketing accounts churning out content. I feel sorry for the international fans because it is so difficult to try and handle it all.

Because bringing over rumors from China can be very problematic if you don't know the background.
It's an unfortunate fact that lots of cent is very problematic. It's fine to bring over rumors when you know there's nothing behind them. But please be sure this is the case. That xzmelons on twitter has a great filter so there is really no need to go beyond what they post, they are very careful.
Has he stopped taking up dramas ? As an international fan I can’t watch his movies as they are released in theatres.…
You can watch his movies too. It takes a while but eventually, the streaming platforms like Youku will have the movie too. It's already available in China and soon it will be internationally too.
