It’s another week in c-dramaland, and we’ve got new shows and new rankings. Delicious Destiny, Guo Min Da Sheng Huo and Peacekeeping Infantry Battalion each took turns in first in primetime even with less than ideal numbers that barely break past 1.0%.
After years in the backburner, Zhang Han’s The Legendary Tycoon finally premiered as a 10pm show, but it’s got an uphill battle to face with disappointingly low ratings around 0.1% – 0.2%. Starry Night Starry Sea 2 is also seeing lower numbers on its second week, falling as low as 0.31%. Xuan Yuan Sword seems to have caught the same bug as it dropped to 0.17% before rising back to 0.39%. On the other hand, the bleak outlook seems to have given a boost to Tong Tian Detective Dee which has slowly climbed to a high of 0.5% (it used to be in last place for weeks on end).
On to the web rankings, A Chinese Odyssey: Love of Eternity is the only web drama to place in top three, just below Delicious Destiny and Nothing Gold Can Stay. Moreover, it’s good to see crime suspense offerings like Day and Night, Line Walker 2 and OCTB dominating the list. If you’re in the mood for something different, there’s also the Dear Prince in tenth.
