C-drama Ratings and Celeb Rankings (week starting Sep 17)

C-drama Ratings and Celeb Rankings (week starting Sep 17)
Zhou Xun Ruyi
With no substantial competition just yet, Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace has been leading online for several weeks, and I hear that the drama’s getting good. All Out of Love climbs to second place on its first week of airing. Age of Legends which premiered on the same day is not doing nearly as well though it also makes the top 10 dramas online. The leading men for both shows are neck and neck with William Chan in 8th and Wallace Chung in 9th. 

Ever since Mother’s Life’s Director spoke up against fake viewership ratings, it seems that TV ratings have stayed perpetually low and the lack of transparency has caused some parties to hold off on reporting the numbers. Even without a complete list for the weekMother’s Life is a clear winner as the only drama to break past 1%. Martial Universe spends its final week with CSM52 ratings around 0.4%.
