Period c-drama Guardians of the Dafeng is now on the second half of its airing and has some notable and ignominious records as of this week. The drama hit the 30,000 heat index on Tencent which certifies it as a major hit for the platform, but at the same time the opening Douban ratings are out and its a low … Continue reading →
The C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng isn’t just an oddball in terms of the tone and plot, which I love, but its performance after airing is also really hard to pin down. It’s not an undisputed hit male lead Dylan Wang hoped for like his Love Between Devil and Fairy but does have heat and is doing good numbers in … Continue reading →
With two big female lead C-dramas on deck this Tuesday, last week’s premiere of big male lead C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng will see competition sooner than expected. The drama is now one week into airing and on Tencent just hit 28000 heat index which is very very high and good news for the drama which has faced a slew … Continue reading →
It’s been a few days since Tencent premiered period C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng with Dylan Wang and Tian Xi Wei and the first reactions are out. The viewership is strong off the bat, one of the best viewership numbers of the year in terms of opening days which makes sense due to Dylan’s buzz (good and bad). Whether it … Continue reading →
It’s confirmed! Tencent is giving C-drama fans a year end treat with the release of Guardians of the Dafeng on December 28th, as rumored. Starring Dylan Wang and Tian Xi Wei, the latest drama posters and long preview makes this drama look schizophrenic, in that the characters and storyline veers back-and-forth between wildly comedic and intensely dramatic. Plus there appears … Continue reading →
When all eyes are on you then you either vault over the pressure or crumble. Such is the case with C-actor Dylan Wang and his next drama the soon-to-air Guardians of the Dafeng. C-ent insiders and his rival near age drama actors are all watching closely how this drama does, because if it’s a hit then reportedly it will send … Continue reading →
Alrighty, it looks like we’re getting more details for upcoming period C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng with Dylan Wang and Tian Xi Wei. The drama will have 40-episodes which is nice, that means the regulators didn’t find much fluff to force cut and also Tencent is all in with this drama at the max length. The airing date is tentatively … Continue reading →
It’s December woohoo, a month to just wrap up the year with either good or bad and of course just to see what dramas can arrive last minute to surprise you. Period C-drama Guardians of the Dafeng has been rumored to air this month and it’s a big male lead centric drama starring Dylan Wang in hopefully what will be … Continue reading →
I’m not a true data nerd but it’s always useful to have hard numbers to look at rather than a general sense of buzz. Datawin released it’s most anticipated C-dramas list this week so as of mid-November these are the dramas that are getting the most searches and chatter online. Number one goes to The Immortal Ascension (A Mortal’s Guide … Continue reading →
So the big female lead drama battle this month in November 2024 between Zhao Lu Si in The Story of Pearl Girl and Yu Shu Xin for Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is looking more and more like there will be a clear winner. But this is just a prelude for an even bigger battle coming next month in December … Continue reading →
The year is half over now that it’s June 2024 and one big name in C-drama land I’ve not yet seen out with a drama is Dylan Wang. Last year in 2023 he had three C-dramas, not to say any of those were good lol but at least there was stuff to watch. He’s usually done 2-3 per year but … Continue reading →
So I haven’t heard any credible melons on when Tencent will premiere Guardians of the Dafeng but with lunar new year holidays underway it may come during the next big holiday time period since this is one of the higher profile dramas on deck. The drama reached 1 million reservations last November and now has broken 2 million reservations so … Continue reading →
The first trailer is out for Guardians of the Dafeng and I….I just can’t with this. It’s so absurd and not in an immediately endearing way, though I get what it’s going for. This drama preview has the tone of a classic Stephen Chow “mo lei tau” slapstick over-the-top physical ridiculousness written all over it, so you’re either going to … Continue reading →
