I think viewers are being either honest or stingy with their votes but the latest Douban ratings to come out for additional late winter/spring 2024 C-dramas are all in the 6 range. Modern romance Best Choice Ever starring Yang Zi and Xu Kai came in with 6.4 and female empowerment period C-drama Blossoms in Adversity with Zhang Jing Yi and Hu Yi Tian surprisingly got higher with 6.7.
