Top 10 hottest Chinese series of January: Liu Yifei’s “Meet Yourself” fell drastically behind Tan Songyun’s “Flight To You”
Liu Yifei was “whisked away” from the Top 5 of the hottest C-dramas of January.
Chinese television in January witnessed many changes in rankings, with “Meet Yourself” starring Liu Yifei and Li Xian performed the worst. The drama only landed in 6th place with a total 710 million viewing. Moreover, the drama has never been on the first place, according to EYE Kuyun ranking. While this comeback is remarked as “good enough,” it was the inconsistency in the actress’ visual on-camera and off-camera that struck the audience.
On the other hand, “Flight To You” starrin Tan Songyun accumulated 2 billion viewings and consistently dominated the rating up until the January “champion” appeared.
Furthermore, “Unchained Love” starring Dylan Wang also successfully landed in the top three at third place, proving that the heat of the actor has not died down. “Blood of Youth” stood at 7th place, showing the attraction of Liu Xueyi and Li Hongyi.
The current “reigning champion” of January ranking is “The Knockout,” a crime-solving, underworld drama gathering top stars such as Zhang Yi, Zhang Song Wen and Li Yitong. The series gained 2.5 billion viewing after 18 days on air and is still standing at number 1 spot on Kuyun.
