I get it. But you know, it's because of chinese regulations. This year especially, we have a lot of clownery going on, when dramas, regular one are annouced, then doesn't air, taking license for them is harder, you have tons of regulations to air those, pray that someone will not have any scandal, and title will be not doomed etc. itp.
I get it's frustrating for some people, but welp, networks also must manage somehow to survive, and they simple are sometimes picking faster route. It's seems that regular series, have more and more issues - from technical, to cultural, from regulations, to bans, and it gets more and more risky. So i assume, we will have more those short ones in the future.
Like Enzek explained, some companies, simple does that, to air more and faster. Also if i can be honest, for me, some dramas, which are longer, are simple draggy . And imo if you can do decent story with 24 x 10 or so, imo it's a big plus. Like really, what's the point to make it longer, if current dramas licensed for 30-40 eps, with 45-50 min episodes, are mostly half ot the fillers, which doesn't add much to the story itself? Longer doesn't mean better.
Welp 31 eps ain't much , but why i feel it' become more and more draggy? I skip half of the eps :skull: , also the romance part between leads, looks dunno....boring? and i have more good friendship vibe from them, than romantic couple? Overall, i'm little disappointed, that after waiting so long for another title, i'm watching rather medicore story. Also i have impression, even if officially we don't have multiple mains, that story is more rided by secondary, third/whatever couples and i'm more interested there, than mains lol :skull:
