I think it's standard stuff to tell someone to go get lashes

I'm not Marcus. His channel is called Marcus here! with an exclamation mark.
I'm simply sharing what he reported on his Sunday program where every Sunday, he reports on the top ten Chinese dramas based on Vlinkage.

Joy of Life novel is 727 chapters although the chapters are short but it's approx. 400,000 words.

Your analysis is intelligent, thoughtful, and deep. You have a very good understanding of the characters and the plot. You didn't just gloss over the scenes but paid attention to details, nuances, went beyond the superficial understanding and explored the underlying complexities.

He left family matters to his wife and didn't know he was being tricked and manipulated by an evil woman. He trusted her too much. This is what happens when your work is more important, and you neglect your family. The grandmother didn't have to work and was at home every day. She was wary of her daughter-in-law but didn't say anything. Maybe she didn't want to create conflicts in the family. Maybe both the son and grandmother are like that, they don't want to create conflict but, in the end, inaction had consequences they never imagined.

Fans are cost effective if this drama is low budget.

The use of fans creates a mood, symbolism, emphasize emotions, etc. especially when the scene is eerie and haunting. It plays on your senses and makes it more memorable. Using a fan is cost effective.

Marcus here! reported that according to Vlinkage, The Double is champion for second week running. It garnered 604 points. Not all #1 drama can get above 600 points. Anything over 600 is exceptional even for a top drama. The Double did this with a pullback schedule too since the more episodes it airs in the week, the higher the points for that week.

I like the leads. LSS is great. I enjoyed Leon Zhang from Ancient Love Poetry.

So what I'm hearing here is that the YZ blatantly violating the rules.

I don't understand how it is possible to cut episodes now that the drama has aired.

Yep, WoL are like two real-life couples, as authentic as it gets.

Even child actors who were popular won't make a breakthrough in a main lead role until after 20, more like 22, I think. Some can do it as young as 18 to 20.

It went down because they're only airing one episode a day

I'm never surprised by deaths in Chinese dramas. The first thing you ask yourself is which characters will die before it ends.

I know a drama that aired for 2 or 3 days then stopped for 3 to 4 days. It kept doing this for several weeks. The ratings dropped every time it was on hold.
