Second Chance Romance hits 6,500 on YOUKU heat index – Wallace Chung and Qin Lan posters released

Qin Lan in Second Chance Romance 6500 heat index

6,500 on YOUKU’s heat index signifies moderate success

Update, November 29th: (see poster below) as I expected, Second Chance Romance has already exceeded 7,500 on the heat index, now making it a definite success

Wallace Chung and Qin Lan’s new romance drama Second Chance Romance premiered yesterday, and has already earned 6,500 on YOUKU’s heat index today.

Two posters dropped celebrating the C-drama’s first milestones, one of Wallace Chung as Feng Rui as the drama earned 6,000, and then a second of Qin Lan as Tan Si Ting as it hit its 6,500 achievement.

Now, while 6,500 usually indicates moderate success for a Chinese drama, it’s just two days into the series’ scheduled 28 episodes, and so it’s very likely, considering the buzz in various online forums and on social media, Second Chance Romance is likely to climb higher on the index.

YOUKU commented about the C-drama’s initial success with this question about Tin Si Tang:

Tan Si Ting (aka Qin Lan) returns from Paris with her aura fully unleashed, and the show’s popularity has surged past 6,500!
What new storms will she face after coming back to China?

while they also promoted Feng Rui’s career:

The drama showcases Feng Rui (aka WallaceChung)’s shining moment in his wine business.

6000 on YOUKU heat index for Second Chance Romance

The first five episodes of Second Chance Romance are now streaming on YOUKU, with Episode 6 available if you’re willing to pay for the TVOD (I’m cheap, so I’m not!).

More episodes will release tomorrow.
