Out of curiosity, should the drama keep getting pushed back, is there a possibility of it never airing? Has there…
Hi! I'm waiting for the Wolf and other dramas to go on air so I know the pain of waiting, waiting and more waiting. Answering your question. There are countless dramas which finished filming and post-production years ago and never got released. Too many dramas can not get permission to air on TV so can only air on Web's plataforms like IQIYI to be seen. And at the same time there are dramas from 2015 going on air today on TV. Chinese Dramas are a whole crazy world.

Copy and paste a comment done by Alex in another drama's page: "It takes so long because of the censorship process. The initial script has to be approved, then the filmed product has to be approved, and if it's not approved, they have to re-film parts and submit it to be approved again. If actors have scandals, then their parts may need to be re-filmed with different actors. If the censorship guidelines change, then the whole thing needs to be approved again - and they may need to make changes and get re-approval again. Business rivals can call on relationships with government officials to slow down the approval process, or take out or water down scenes that viewers would enjoy. Then the film producers have to call on their own relationships with government officials to get those scenes approved again, and get the approval process moving again. It's an extremely convoluted and slow process, not to mention all the normal things that need to be done to finish and broadcast a show."
