To me, viewership matters the most...popularity rankings include people's discussions I think...regardless, hopefully ABAY is doing well, kudos to the cast and stuff!

Agreed

If you look at the start and ending clips of the drama, they show that they will be together. Also their styles match to each ither...

Well, endorsement is a reflection of how investors are buying the ad spots and not how Tencent is supporting the production/drama. However, I thought (the Chinese site straight from Mango TV I suppose), on which I watch ABAY did show quite a bit of ads/endorsements before its episodes are aired, in the middle, and in the last...so I thought it's doing well too...but maybe somebody here would know better.

Don't know coz i haven't read the novel 😀. I think he's too young for her

ABAY per Vlinkage for today, July 8, on the TV drama's side, it ranks #2 but very close to LYF 2 (84.81 vs 87.35, a difference of 2.54. As far as characters are concerned, all 3 spots go to LYF 2's characters...HT is at #4 with 9.02 vs #3 spot of 9.05...So, it's not too far behind. ABAY seems to be doing well in China so far, although no longer in #1 because of LYF 2.

Han Ting's friend, the one who always eat his food and clean up his kitchen's mess afterwards

Are you sure that was Xu Kai? i.e. those hands are Xu Kai's hands? haha

It's been going up...hopefully, it'll get to 28000 or higher sometime in the next episodes!

This new profile picture of hers is really good. She looks so much prettier than in sll of her films I've seen that she's in.

Ck1oz, their romance will be built up over the following the episodes you're currently watching down the road...so, it's not what you're afraid of being a one night's stand...🙂

Dahuang is Dabing the cat in FIYS😄

I don't think LYF 2 will be categorized as a tv drama if the info by MDL is correct. It seems that it'll be distributed only by the web Tencent platforms and Viki. Hence it won't be competing with ABAY per say on Vlinkage at the very least. But yeah, head to head, LYF 2 will be outpacing ABAY as people have been waiting for it for a long time!

You must read or see a very funny story behind the scene that we saw on ep 11 where Han Ting gets closer to YX trying to kiss her or at least scaring her with it. https://m.youtube.com/shorts/WZZLwTLSd9o so if you recall, Han Ting had unbuttoned his jacket before lifting his right arm to encircle her....well Xu Kai said, that when they did that scene they were still new to each other so both of them were embarrassed. Further more, Seven Tan said, that she didn't know why he had to unbutton his jacket...as it turned out, Xu Kai said his jacket was too tight and w/o unbuttoning the jacket, he wouldn't have been able to strech his arm to put his hand on the wall. It was so funny! The scene really turned out to be so good and it was a funny anecdote 😄

It aired 2 days late, missing Sunday and Monday as ABAY started day was July 2 which was last Tuesday, hence it missed 2 days worth of points for its average

JX got the funding in the drama on ep 8, in the final minutes of it, right after they signed the contract in which HT will be the investor.

My guess is that Datawin mixed everything (web dramas with tv dramas). Vlinkage breaks them separately and so, ABAY is #1 in the TV dramas category

ABAY is doing very well as TV drama in China per Vlinkage. Since its premiere, except for July 2 which ranked #3, all the other days up to July 7, has been the #1 TV drama. Han Ting character besides July 2 on which it scored 3rd, all the other times has been either #1 or #2 alternating place with PWX. On July 7, Han Ting character is back on top with 9.04.

Go to the section of this page just before the comments section. I believe there's a section called trailer, etc. In there, there are links...but some of them (if not all) are way too long mixed up with the overall drama from older episodes...so you may try this link which is Tencent's but you'd need to know Chinese i believe to be able to navigate...although it might be quite intuitive if you look for future episodes with some characters on them(to mean trailer)...https://m.v.qq.com/x/m/play?cid=mzc002004n42g5b&mobile=1&mreferrer=https://mydramalist.com/&ptag=v_qq_com%23v.play.adaptor%233&vid=o4100b0okpr

M-TH: 2 ep daily. F-S: 1 ep per someone's comment.
