CSM59 Cities + Online
It’s been a while since we’ve seen a web drama leading the weekly rankings and we’ve got just the drama for the job as Cheng Yi and Yuan Bingyan’s fantasy romance Love and Redemption snags 1st place online. Reunion: The Sound of the Providence comes in 2nd ahead of the TV dramas.
Meanwhile, a new batch of dramas have recently premiered on Chinese television. Go Ahead with its three lovable leads Seven Tan Songyun, Song Weilong and Steven Zhang Xincheng easily takes 1st place with its numbers breaking a high of 3.096% in CSM59 ratings on its first day. The Way Love Begins and Heroic Journey of Nezha both ended their run in 2nd and 3rd. Also among the new premieres are Nie Yuan and Wu Jinyan’s Knock on the Happiness Door as well as Song Jia and Yuan Hong’s Under the Sun. Both have garnered CSM59 ratings just above 1%.
Go Ahead is currently in 4th place online while Knock on the Happiness Door settles for 9th. With Cheng Yi playing the male lead who simply melts hearts, it’s really no surprise to see the Love and Redemption actor climbing to 3rd. Go Ahead actress Tan Songyun also enters the list in 5th place.

I’m glad Cheng Yi is getting the recognition. He’s awesome in love and redemption.

Crystal yuan and Cheng Yi deserved the recognition for their hard work. It takes a good drama to make a break through even if you have been in the industry for 10+ years. Crystal looks pretty with red lipstick at the fan meeting. And they act the scene in the cave. She kissed cheng yi on the cheek. “Since we were re-enacting the scene, and this is our profession, I think this is what we should give everyone. You can’t be shy as an actor.” I like what Crystal said here.

Agreed! Cheng Yi is carrying the whole drama on his back so far. The drama is okay. I’m mostly watching it for the two leads, which is a mix of sweet, loveable interactions to super cringe worthy moments. I really like Crystal Yuan in Ever Night, but her character here is incredibly naive and the way she portrayed Xuanji’s cuteness comes off rather annoying, at least for now. I hope it will change though. No complaint about Cheng Yi’s SiFeng. He steals every scene he is in.

I’m happy for Go Ahead, Love and Redemption and In a class of her own. The Heiress that just started is pretty funny too.
