So this is really recent airing scheduling change rumors but we should know in the next week or two whether it’s going to happen or not. Tang dynasty drama The Story of Pearl Girl with Zhao Lu Si and Liu Yu Ning was slated for a Q4 2024 basically end of year airing which fits with the filming and post-production time line for a big budget drama. But this week word on the street is that it’s being moved up to air next month in August on Youku after the Olympics is done. If the post production is done then there is no reason it can’t air earlier but August is that odd time where it feels like even viewers are lazing away in the dog days of summer and sometimes dramas have a hard time generating traction that month. Let’s wait and see, but I for one welcome the arrival of this drama earlier rather than later.
