not really. they synopsis and backdrop is entirely different. You are saying this because it is step-sister brother…
In the drama "Speed and Love," the male lead gets involved in a case and becomes a witness, so he deliberately tries to keep her away from him. There are many similarities between this drama synopsis and "Speed and Love". Let's watch it! Though I haven't seen it yet.
I know who Zhou Yiran is. I've watched Twelve Letters, and he was really good in this drama, but I've also watched "Ashes To Crown," and he doesn't look good in this drama. In fact, the 2nd/3rd male leads were more handsome than him. He didn't look good.
Have you watched the donghua?Zhou yiran isn't suitable for wang Lin although his acting is quite good but neither his hight nor his physique match with Wang Lin.It's not about just acting the main character needs to give the main character vibe which Zhou Yiran can't give.If there are so many handsome characters he doesn't look like the main hero at all.
I've checked Weibo, and I saw it was rated as an A+ drama. However, if you look at its actual performance, the…
I checked Yunhe data..According to Moyan, "Archives:The Nanyang Mystery" currently holds the top position among all airing dramas, with an effective 745+ million views, right? And from Yunhe "Never Ending Summer" drama is currently No. 8 with 4.8% market share.I don't understand Moyan..Today it posted "Archives: The Nanyang Mystery " topped the chart, and it has been on top from the 3rd or 4th day after its airing until now.
This happens a lot with modern dramas. The First Frost also had 5.4 so after that I have stopped taking douban…
That's exactly why I think audiences are looking for quality above everything else. They even gave the Korean drama Teach You a Lesson an 8.8 rating, which shows they're willing to appreciate a good story regardless of where it comes from.
After watching "Teach You a Lesson," I actually want to watch more K-dramas. What I enjoy about many Korean dramas is that they often try new concepts and tell different kinds of stories. There's more variety, and many of them feel fresh.
Meanwhile, I feel that a lot of recent Chinese dramas rely on the same formulas—either palace/political intrigue or very similar high school and romance stories. Chinese dramas have talented actors, high production budgets, and beautiful cinematography. What they really need is better writing. If the script is compelling, audiences will watch it regardless of whether it stars traffic actors or newcomers.

Though I'm not from China, I've been following discussions on Weibo, and it's clear that many Chinese viewers are frustrated with the current state of Chinese dramas. A lot of recent dramas have been criticized for poor scriptwriting, weak logic, and stories that seem to underestimate the audience's intelligence.
Chinese audiences watch a huge number of dramas every year, so their expectations are naturally higher. They want well-written stories, believable characters, and quality productions. International viewers may initially be drawn in by attractive actors or great chemistry between the leads, but they don't continue watching just for those reasons. If the plot is weak, people will criticize it regardless of how popular the cast is.
Of course, every actor and actress has haters, but it's unfair to dismiss everyone who gives a drama a low rating as a hater. Most of the criticism is directed at the script and storytelling rather than the actors themselves.
There are plenty of examples that prove audiences prioritize quality over star power. **The Epoch of Miyu** and the movie **Dear You** became explosive hits in China despite not having major traffic actors or actresses. That shows today's Chinese audience doesn't simply follow popular celebrities—they're looking for genuinely good stories that are worth watching. Most of the Douban ratings are correct. In Douban which dramas that are 6.5+ rated, those dramas are actually really good. And International audience rated those dramas an 8.5+ rating on MDL.
Can anyone tell me about situation of the drama in China? Is it concidered successful in mainland?
I've checked Weibo, and I saw it was rated as an A+ drama. However, if you look at its actual performance, the daily views didn't even cross 10 million(7.45 million views on Saturday. Previously when it's strated airing it was 9 millions+). Recently finished dramas like "Archives: The Nanyang Mystery" and "The First Jasmine" were averaging nearly 30 millions+ views per day. "Love Has Fireworks" is also performing well right now.(20 million+ views on Saturday)
Based on the viewership, "Never Ending Summer" underperformed in China because not many people are watching it. Its Douban rating is only 5.1, and that score could even decrease as more users rate the drama. With viewership this low, it's also less attractive to advertisers, since brands generally prefer dramas with stronger audience reach and engagement.
No, this drama wasn't planned for 40 episodes. At the very beginning, it was planned for 24 episodes, which is why they drastically changed the story to fit that format.
take my written note she is not gonna explode this year or later and became famous sword and fairy cn make her…
She is already around 30 years old. When will she become famous? After the age of 30, most actresses don't get as many good scripts as they did when they were younger.
I have a question in my mind. Even if she has a 10-year contract with her agency, as you can see, she isn't getting much work. So I can assume that the agency is no longer benefiting from her.
If you don't have enough projects, endorsements, or commercial value, that usually means you're earning much less than the supporting actresses. So she could negotiate with the company to leave, and that might benefit the company as well.
Since the agency doesn't seem capable of providing her with enough resources and her earnings are probably not very high, why would they keep her?
Also, after working for so many years, I don't think she has enough money to establish her own studio after breaching her contract. She would probably need to sign with one of the top agencies, such as Huanyu, Jay Walk, Star Times, or Huayi Brothers. However, I don't think she would be able to sign with them.
What makes it more beautiful is that song is sung by Zhang Xincheng himself so I legit started sobbing the moment…
Oh, yes! I found out after posting this comment that the first two songs I mentioned were sung by Zhang Xincheng.His voice is really amazing and those two songs are really beautiful.
Finally done. I really loved it, but I do have a sweet spot for political period drama. The kind of low rating…
If you like action and suspense dramas, check out "Archives: The Nanyang Mystery" starring Zhang Xincheng and Ding Yuxi. The story keeps you hooked, and there wasn't a single dull moment for me. I love mystery dramas, and this one didn't disappoint
