There has been a spate of big name actress C-dramas airing either head-to-head or premiering in such proximity that it’s basically direct competition. Now we’re getting a male lead showdown coming in likely early July 2026 so in a few weeks next month. C-ent airing rumor has Republic era period romance C-drama Overdo (这一秒过火 Zhe Yi Miao Guo Huo) with Zhang Ling He and Wang Chu Ran airing likely July 4th and then modern young romance C-drama Love for You (野狗骨头 Ye Go Gu Tou) with Song Wei Long and Zhang Jing Yi premiering the next day on July 5th. Hilariously Song Wei Long’s lower budget period romance The Eternal Fragrance with Ju Jing Yi is also rumored to air in July so he may be also competing with himself lol. This will be fun if it happens, love seeing fan wars and additional buzz with the competition, not to mention I am interested in both Overdo and Love for You so yay for dramas airing soon I want to watch since June so far has been meh.
