After several weeks of airing, the viewership ratings for “Tru Tiên Thanh Vân Chí” have experienced significant fluctuations. It’s worth mentioning that this is the second consecutive week the show has maintained a high viewership rating (something that has not occurred since the show began airing).
Beginning its airing in late July, “Tru Tiên Thanh Vân Chí” has established a remarkable streak of three consecutive weeks ranking at the top of viewership ratings with scores of 1.37, 1.11, and 1.22. In the following weeks, while the ratings have fluctuated, they have remained around the range of 0.9 to 1.1.
However, during the recent airing week on September 4, the national rating for “Tru Tiên” unexpectedly dropped to 0.705. With such a low rating, the adaptation of the renowned work by Tiểu Đỉnh has seen a significant fall to 6th place, marking its first time outside the top 5 highest-rated shows in China.
The primary reason for this drop in viewership is attributed to many viewers feeling that the content of the show has strayed too far from its original source material, which has led to disappointment among hardcore fans (especially those who are dedicated to the original novel). Others argue that the airing schedule for the show in recent weeks has not been favorable, resulting in a natural decline in viewership ratings.
As of now, it is still too early to conclude whether “Tru Tiên” has truly “flopped” or not. We should wait for the upcoming weeks of airing to provide a more accurate assessment of this series.
It is noteworthy that “Tru Tiên Thanh Vân Chí” is an adaptation of the famous fantasy novel “Tru Tiên” by the author Tiểu Đỉnh. This work has been regarded as one of the “Three Great Immortal Novels” on the Chinese Internet and has garnered significant admiration from audiences not only in China but also across various Asian countries, including Vietnam.
