Ahh.. All my most anticipated costume dramas are getting a release date, albeit never on television. Secret of the Three Kingdoms 三国机密 will premiere as a web drama on March 27, 2018 exclusively on Tencent. It will release two episodes every night from Tuesday to Thursday while VIP users can watch next week’s episode in advance.
It stars Ma Tianyu, Elvis Han, Wan Qian, Dong Jie, Sunny Wang and Dong Xuan along with an expansive supporting cast. I though that the series would warrant a television broadcast. I don’t know whether it’s due to censorship on historical fiction that many dramas with recognizable names are web dramas now, but it’s not so bad as long as it airs. If you’re a fan of Elvis Han, his is currently in Siege in Fog opposite Sun Yi which also premiered as web drama.

This was slated as a web drama from the very beginning. Every production company wants tv air time for their series, but it doesn't always happen.

why it doesn't always happen for production company to air their drama on tv?

I'm hopeful this will be good. When You say it airs Tues to Thurs does that mean it is airing Tues-Wed-Thurs OR Thurs-Fri-Sat-Sun-Mon-Tues?

Secret of the Three Kingdoms looks like something I would very much like to see. Too bad it's not going to be put out there with Eng. subtitles.
