Found another post with fans discussing the views for Love and Redemption. Not easy to search for info without understanding Chinese! But not impossible! and I really do hope it's accurate. :)

I usually search the keywords "琉璃" (Love and Redemption) and "成毅" (Cheng Yi) and I google translate the page and scroll through the pages to find new info from Chinese fans. Here is a weibo post where fans were chatting about the views of the Promise of Chang An: https://weibo.com/5872245423/JoJKP3grO?type=comment I can't find the post about Love and Redemption but will share when I find it.

I took some time to get into cdramas a few years ago. And I haven't looked back ever since! :) In fact, I stopped watching American and kdramas. >.< Over the years, cdramas have been improving so much, though not perfect! Love and Redemption has a strong romance theme - and that's one of the biggest reasons I enjoyed it. I get sucked into pure and innocent romance stories. I am not interested in dramas with BL themes so I couldn't watch Untamed. >.< Love and Redemption hired a video games company to do their CGI, so it's one of the better ones. Maybe you have higher standards for CGI, but if you can get past that, and focus on the story development of the leads and the sects, it will unfold beautifully.

Cheng Yi for GUCCI! https://mobile.twitter.com/yusifengs/status/1315615296024203266

It's very good! Love and Redemption is #2 in rank for most watched drama of 2020. (in China) #1 is Eternal Love of Dream at 8+ billion views, according to the weibo poster. I read that since ELOD main leads are big celebrities, it had a lot of hype building up to its release and attracted a lot of viewers initially. But I read that many people complained that the beginning of the drama did not live up to its hype - but that the drama picked up towards the latter half. Considering that ELOC also came out much earlier in the year - I'm pretty sure Love and Redemption will eventually surpass ELOD's total views - but maybe not in 2020.

I recommend watching from the original subber at the following link. There are no yucky ads also! :)

Hey! I was able to find a post on Weibo that said: Love and Redemption has a total of 6.69 billion views (Youku 3.26 billion, Mango 3.43 billion), and that it should be able to break 7 billion by the end of the year! :)

Fans in China that saw Cheng Yi in the airport called out to him saying "QiQi" and they asked him if he got sick, and you could see his response by shaking his head. And then he shyly waves goodbye to his fans. And the flight attendants nearby thought he was waving to them. He seems like a shy guy who is not used to getting all this attention. ^^;;

After Love and Redemption, Cheng Yu’s popularity soared! He was surrounded by so many fans and barely had space to walk. Poor guy!: https://mobile.twitter.com/yusifengs/status/1315547399448924161

Another recent photo of Cheng Yi being surrounded by so many fans - his popularity is soaring after Love and Redemption! https://mobile.twitter.com/yusifengs/status/1315547399448924161

Cheng Yi has a super loud and passionate fanboy screaming his name - so funny! I think it is near the "Keep Running" filming site. (Video) https://mobile.twitter.com/yusifengs/status/1315464957169995776

That’s awesome! Thanks! BTW, do you know how many views does Love and Redemption have now?

Based on some Weibo posts I’ve seen, Promise of Chang An broke 1 billion views. Is that true? I’m only relying on google translate for that info and not sure if the translation is right.

So lovely and gives me the feels! Back to rewatching my favorite scenes :)

Same same! Many fans of this drama share the same heart and can’t get the beautiful drama and characters out of their heads! ^^

Yea! The FL is great! :) and especially the ML!

Oh yes I’m similar! I don’t like knowing spoilers and prefer watching without any expectation. It’s so exciting that way! :)

To be very honest - after watching Love and Redemption, everything else pales in comparison. I can’t think objectively now, since I’m sort of still stuck in the black hole and can’t get out. >.< I think once I’m back to “normal” I’ll be able to give suggestions. Hehe ?
