Blossom with Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui Wraps Successful Run with Opening Douban Ratings of 7.5 and a Solid Ending
I am happy to report it’s confirmed safe to watch C-drama Blossom, as the series wrapped its run for VIP members of Tencent this weekend and the ending was reportedly very satisfying. The drama also opened with 7.5 ratings on Douban confirming that the good reviews was accompanied by equally solid viewer votes on the drama’s quality. The only two period dramas this year to open with as high or higher Douban ratings (that I recollect) has been the 8.0 by Are You the One and Love Game in Eastern Fantasy with 7.5. Congrats to the cast and crew of Blossom and it’s definitely elevated leads Meng Zi Yi and Li Yun Rui one level up for their next projects and also more CFs headed their way in the months to come.
I’m currently at episode 18 and can testify that it is good. If I have to pick a weakness, it’s probably the camera work. Some of the camera work can be improved. I’m glad for both leads and hope this breakout will bring in more opportunities for their careers.
Hi Lilith, good to see you back here too.
Hiya HL, good to see you too. This new layout is somewhat jarring.
There were a few weaker episodes near the end, but I will say that I am grateful we got a proper ending. I am so tired of dramas that went strong for most of the run, but then have those artistic open endings or endings with senseless deaths for emotional impact. Overall, I enjoyed the drama a lot!
Koala’s comment is just so adorable… It is so sad that many Cdramas can be so disappointing towards s
2nd half and even the ending. Many are cautious to start new dramas till they are sure they are not wasting so many hours of their time on badly produced storyline, editing or silly writing.
Would like to make a small correction reg period dramas’ Douban ratings: Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty opened at a higher 8.1 and continued to climb to its current rate of 8.6. If we can lump Republican dramas to the period category, then Heroes (with Qin Junjie) also opened with 8.1, and now reached 8.8! (I loveee the drama, so of course I’m ecstatic, but even I didn’t see that coming)
This said, I’m liking Blossom a lot. Still way behind, but hoping to marathon and finish it during the holidays!
Blossom was like a sweet warm tea after all these sad open endings this year. Really good from beginning to end
