Broadcast was halted for a day this week as China observed a day of mourning on April 4 in memory of those who died due to the coronavirus. The top dramas on TV seem little changed.
If Time Flows Back continues to lead followed by Skate into Love in second. However, it’s the opposite online with Skate into Love being the most-watched drama. I’ve been loving the show’s fluttery feels so far, so I’m a little worried to see the recent complaints about how the story’s deviated from the novel for the sake of manufactured angst. Also promising some angst is the newly-premiered As Long As You Love Me which takes over the 10pm slot for Guardians of the Ancient Oath.
Pan Yueming’s Candle in the Tomb: The Lost Caverns shoots up to third online which also makes it the leading web drama for the week. My Roommate is a Detective inches up to 4th. Its main protagonist Hu Yitian makes his way into the celebrity rankings in 9th place. The Skate into Love couple are both in the top 10 with Steven Zhang Xincheng in 1st and Janice Wu in 8th.
