World population is less than 8B ….
@jjwong
i assume this is combined hit rate of all episodes. if you divide the hit rate by the # of episodes, the numbers make more sense…. but you can’t ignore the fact that these numbers aren’t mostly likely rigged.
Ever since The Journey of Flower broke with really high viewing records, every dramas after it have to rigg their numbers to match up. Do the same. It’s competition. All these numbers are totally rigged.
I loved the drama princess agents and i was so hoping that the main lead girl and main lead men would end up together in the end and be happily ever after. But no he died
I loved Eternal Love which is the first Chinese drama that really impressed me. The storyline and acting, good chemistry and it never bored me in comparison to other C drama. Really change my perception towards Chinese drama as I do previously watch scarlet heart which was also a hit drama back in 2011 as well but I give it up after a few episodes. So I do feel impressed on this 2017 Eternal Love drama!
