With a drop rating of just 3.3, this drama wasn't just a bit boring to those who quit it—it was actively targeted. Because typical drop users tend to rate shows a fair 4 to 6 stars, dragging the average down to a 3.3 requires a massive wave of bottom-tier scores. Assuming a standard baseline average of 5.0 for regular viewers, roughly 43% of everyone who dropped this show—about 25 out of 58 users—were 'haters' leaving 1-star.

MDL calculates the Overall Score displayed at the very top of a show's page, its algorithm pools together the valid ratings from every single watch status—meaning Completed, Watching, On-Hold, and Dropped users are all mixed into one grand total.

is he taking a break?

she's going to be awesome

This sci-fi story sounds similar to the sci-fi Reset (2022) which is also stuck in a never-ending time loop. Reset was hugely successful.

very pretty and very expressive and good actress

Han Ting and Ji Xing only knew each other briefly during winter vacation of her sophomore year. Han Ting was a year or two older and she addressed him as senior when she first saw him. The flashbacks show a 19-yr old Han Ting falling in love with her. He wanted to go steady with her but didn't get the chance to ask her since he had to leave for Germany and only came back to China during summers. She on the other hand had never developed any romantic feelings for him, but the flashbacks show that he saw something in her he really like. I think he admired her tenacity even back then, how smart she is, but I think most of all, her vision for medical robots, he remembered her speech and her smile, and they fed a stray cat together so they had enough common interest between them in that short amount of time enough to leave a lasting impression on young Han Ting. But Han Ting I think once he was in Germany, he's a very focused person with a lot of goals, so since she never returned his messages, he figured she has no interest him.

Han Ting tried to kill two birds with one stone. On the one hand, he wants to support Ji Xing, on the other hand, he sees an opportunity to do so with benefits to him, but she misunderstood him, because he would never take advantage of her purely for motives.

Oh actually I think you are right. the Han Ting I really like starts in ep, 5 the scene where she is on her way out of the company with her box of belongings but stops to order strawberry cake and Han Ting asks to talk to her about her business. That's pure Han Ting there, his whole demeanor, the way he talks, the way he looks, and his tone shifted in that scene you know things between them are changing and getting messy from here on. Han Ting thought he had it all under control, she was going to accept his offer, but instead all because he said she should follow her original aspirations, she decides to go and make products that will make people's lives better. She's a dreamer, not a realist.

You can really feel the novel characters in the drama, the way they portray them, the dynamics are similar.

Spring of the blade has never released an official broadcast date, so it has never shifted. A drama cannot be delayed from a date it was never locked into.
Why would people lose interest because of unsupported rumors?

The IMDb score is 7.9 with 28 ratings, which is a great score on IMDb, considering 1 two‑star and 3 one‑star votes. If you remove those four low ratings, the score jumps to 9.0. And I saw those 1 and 2 stars as soon as it aired.

"Xu Kai's Eight Hundred (方圆八百米) was a textbook "sleeper hit" that massively exceeded expectations. Initially, both Tencent Video and commercial brands held relatively modest expectations for the project.
Why It Started with Lower Expectations
A Risky Genre and Role: Spanning just 20 episodes, this shorter, heavy suspense series belonged to a genre that usually attracts a small, dedicated niche rather than the broad public.
Zero Initial Promo: At launch, the show received almost no premier platform support. It lacked homepage banners, pinned videos, and massive marketing budgets. Even community drama reviewers initially thought it would fail to pique broad interest.
Breaking Records and Winning Big
Despite the lack of upfront marketing, Eight Hundred completely exploded purely through word-of-mouth and fan power.
Record-Breaking Heat: The drama quickly blew past a 24,000 heat index on Tencent Video. Xu Kai’s character, Chen Hui, shockingly became the first character in X Theater history to surpass an individual popularity index of 100 million.
The Viral "Dumpling" Scene: A highly emotional scene featuring a crying Chen Hui eating a dumpling after his arrest went completely viral across social media. This sudden surge of mainstream viewers praising Xu Kai's elite acting forced Tencent's algorithms to retroactively pump the show to the top of the app.
The Brand Jackpot: Because brands bought commercial ad space for Eight Hundred when expectations—and prices—were low, they hit the absolute lottery. The show pulled massive organic traffic, yielding an incredibly high Return on Investment (ROI) for its early sponsors.

Eight Hundred was a low-pressure experiment that transformed into a massive, highly profitable triumph.

The Broadcast Milestone: Released only as an online exclusive, the drama still went on to air three times total on Jiangsu TV with two successful reruns, securing its first broadcast on Jiangsu TV weeks after viewers already knew the spoiled, tragic ending but still watched. It became the number 3 top-rated drama on the network for the year so far and joined the top ten Douban recent popular mainland drama list as soon as it aired on TV, where it still remains #7.

that's not good for director since the rumor is that TFJ may be her last project before retirement and people usually remember the last project you do.

Both UJ and TFJ have highly acclaimed directors too.

he's 70 and been directing for 25 years.

You must watch the first four episodes. All the intro info is there including Han Ting's secret plans.

Its Maoyan cumulative effective views are the highest in the history of the metric by a wide margin, reaching 4.189 B views as of July 1, 2026, and continuing to grow.
Maoyan’s "effective views" (有效播放量) became the prominent/standard metric around 2023–2024. Before that, they used looser total playback numbers.
The second highest is Legend of Shen Li 3.48B. There are only around 11 dramas over 2.2B.
Most popular dramas can reach 1B with time + long-tail.

that currently watching just slightly below completed and the score slightly below the completed was all MDL smoothing because it has to fit

to be fair, ML was in wheelchair for like at least half of the drama and the story's narrative is centered around the FL.

that's really kind of you to give a rating based on only 17 episodes.
