C-drama Ratings and Celeb Rankings (week starting Oct 26)

CSM59 Cities + Online

The broadcast for Living Toward the Sun was preempted for most of the week, but it still managed to lead in CSM59 ratings on the days that it aired. Huang Xuan’s Sniper seems to be slowly inching towards breaking CSM59 ratings of 2%.

Sniper continues to be the leading drama online followed by the three web dramas Dear Mayang Street, The Blooms at Ruyi Pavillion and Love Is Sweet. Romance drama Begin Again and the Chinese live-action adaptation of Hikaru no Go which both premiered within the week have made it into the top 10.

New celebs in the top 10 include Timmy Xu from Dear Mayang Street and Legend of Yunxi couple Ju Jingyi and Zhang Zhehan who have reunited for the second time in The Blooms at Ruyi Pavillion.
