On air today and this drama also doesn’t have any subbing team : no volunteer nor viki staff…

I was thinking about that, I mean is this normal?! Maybe they’ll do the same thing as “Shine on me”, they’ll add a CM later, which doesn’t make sense to me :clown_face::clown_face:
Why let a project with no team?

maybe they wait for the right person to be free? joke…
yesterday 3 channels came out and just 1 got a CM…
strange, but somehow not xD
it´s not the first time that some drama is now online, but still no CM there.
but now it happens more often.

Yes I agree with you. This case of channel without any team happens more from 2026.

I think it’s related to the new UI. Previously, if the channel aired and there were no CMs, then the CM application portal would stay open while the drama aired; that’s why maybe they appointed viki as the CM. Now, the application portal is permanently taken off from the channel page, so they no longer have the need to have Viki as the CM. They can comfortably add the CM after the channel has finished airing.

Wow! Thank you for the heads up @a_hauth_238 @aznative. And, thanks, Viki, for bringing it to more viewers! Can’t wait! :star_struck: :melting_face:

Don’t think Zhu Yawen is a support as listed in MDL. Should be a main cast as listed by Ten.cent: 《太平年》首发预告旗荡四方共守山河太平_电视剧_高清完整版视频在线观看_腾讯视频
He’s been appearing in promos with Bai Yu and Zhou Yutong. This epic historical looks awesome!

Reportedly took 10 years for Huace to produce this epic historical! It must be quite a cultural and historical production for it to be approved for release with 50 eps total (the standard being 40 eps max per drama series or it had to be released as a multi-season series non-concurrently). :scream_cat:

Rumored to premiere on 19 January on CC_TV1, Ten.cent, IQ, Mg_TV :star_struck: :scream: Perhaps Viki too? :crossed_fingers:
