CSM55 Cities + Online
Starting from Jan 2, 2019, the three cities of Dandong, Bengbu and Luzhou have been added to CSM 52 to make CSM 55 cities the new benchmark. I Will Never Let You Go’s CSM55 ratings went from 0.5% on premiere to 0.7% by its third day. It’s not a high number and quite expectedly, the show seems to be doing better online as it placed in third within the first week. The show has also reached 200 million views 3 days after release.
With Like a Flowing River out of the way, The Story of Minglan takes over as the ratings leader while the rest play catch up. Among the new premieres, Spy Hunter starring Qin Junjie and Xu Lu looks the most promising as it inches closer to the 1% mark with ratings of 0.8%. The show seems well-timed as there aren’t as many spy dramas lately.
Meanwhile, online rankings have barely moved. Emperors & Me which is another web drama in the plentiful time travel genre seems to have something fresh to offer as it joins the top 10.

I'm so happy the story of minglan is doing so well. It's a great drama and the cast and crew deserve the recognition

It's not surprising Minglan rating is doing so well, when the story is not doing so well.

Well or not well, depends if you like to watch very slow stuff.
If you have patience to watch something that is extremely slow, the drama is for you.
