CSM59 Cities + Online
The Bad Kids which centers around a murder plan that was recorded by three children playing amongst themselves premiered last week as part of iQIYI’s Light On lineup of suspense thrillers. It’s been a while since I last saw a web drama topping online rankings, and it’s hardly surprising for The Bad Kids to do just that as it climbed from 10th in the previous week to 1st this week. This genre is not my usual cup of tea so I probably won’t ever see it, but it’s impossible to miss the word of mouth surrounding this and the memes! The Bad Kids star Qin Hao also enters the celebrity list in 4th. Newly-premiered TV dramas Don’t Think Twice, Love’s All Right and Inside Man come in 2nd and 3rd while Symphony’s Romance settles for 8th place.
While it’s not ranking as high online, Symphony’s Romance is definitely leading the pack on TV as the only drama with CSM59 ratings over 2%. Trident and Burning both wrapped their run with CSM59 ratings above 1%.
