CSM59 Cities + Online
Make way because recent releases are now taking the lead! Starting off with Hunan TV’s newly aired romance drama The Centimeter of Love, which has taken the lead on TV and is the only one to hit CSM59 ratings of 2% this week. It is followed by The Legend of Xiao Chuo and China’s inspirational drama Unbending Will that revolves around poverty alleviation. Furthermore, The Best of Times settles in the 10pm slot after Bright Sword 3: The Lightning General was suddenly pulled from broadcast due to criticisms by People’s Daily about its portrayal of history, saying that idol drama tropes have no place in a war film.
Despite the negative reviews, the newest remake of The Deer and the Cauldron starring Zhang Yishan and Tang Yixin surprisingly makes it to the number one spot in online rankings. Darren Wang, Li Qin and Xiao Zhan’s long-awaited The Wolf comes close in second while TV drama Fearless Whispers drops to third. Three years after Princess Agents, Lin Gengxin who returns to dramaland in To Love also make the list in 7th.
Fearless Whispers actor Li Yifeng still ranks in first place in the celebrity rankings followed by Zhu Yilong and Zhang Yishan.
