Weibo, real-time search results for "Tianban".

[#Holy crap!#]

[This is the first time I've seen a TV series where the main character is killed off right at the beginning of the first episode...]

[Was that Li Yiming who came out last? I'm not seeing things, am I? ? ? ]

I'm so nervous, so nervous, so nervous!

[Why is this commercial so long? The second episode still hasn't aired. I've watched a full five minutes of ads.]

I told my dad to change the channel, but he wouldn't; he just kept watching those awful commercials. When I asked him to change the channel, he said, "What if the second episode, like the first, skips the opening theme and jumps straight into the main story?"

[Turns out I'm not the only one suffering from the torment of Xiangbobo shampoo and Jinyezu oral liquid...]

[The screenwriter of Tianban is definitely a KMT smear agent, and the juicy characters in the show are hilarious [laughing and crying emoji]]

[It's been years since I've seen such a realistic workplace portrayal in a spy drama. The part where Lu Huaizhang tries to pin Li Yiming's death on his subordinates is so realistic.]

I was hoping to watch a mind-bending movie to relieve stress, but it got emotionally stressful before it even got to my brain. Who broke down? [laughing and crying emoji]

I see the shadows of my first, second, third, fourth, and fifth superiors in Director Lu [smile]

The opening sequence felt like something out of a movie.

[Is Li Yiming played by Ye Chu? I didn't even recognize him.]

[Lu Huaizhang, a treasure boy. [Screenshot of dialogue]]

The actress who died at the beginning was really good at acting. Although it was a cameo, I felt she acted much better than the main actress.

[Friend, the one who dies at the beginning is the main character.]

No, the lead actor didn't die. I meant the character he played died.

[Aaaaaaah, the main character of this drama isn't Lu Huaizhang!!!]

[Huh? There's another part at the beginning? I went to pee, and when I came back I saw the opening theme. I thought I hadn't missed anything in the plot.]

[#The Half-Day# is quite good; the plot moves quickly, and the actors' performances are good. My personal rating is 8.5/10; I'll wait and see.]

Ruguan TV has always been willing to spend money on marketing. As soon as the first episode aired, many paid marketing accounts sprang up like mushrooms after rain and began releasing press releases provided by Ruguan.

@CaiCaiZi who loves watching dramas: [The coded language and slang in the first episode of "Half a Day"! Did you spot them?]

@GuanCanghai: [Details from the first episode of "Half the Sky"! ① Yin-Yang fish; ② Substituting one thing for another; ③ Local specialties of Ruguan.]

@CatherineTalksMovies: [This #Tianban# had me on the edge of my seat! They went all out in the first episode! The intrigue and power struggles in the ninth inning, the treacherous nature of officialdom—I'm really looking forward to Li Yiming winning the revival match [backpack]]

@DramaBrother: [#Tianban# premiered, the plot is quite good! Ye Chu's portrayal of Li Yiming's eyes when he faced death broke my heart [crying]]

In contrast to the cheers and applause in the square, the fan circles and supertopics of the two lead actors, Ye Chu and Shi Shan, were shrouded in gloom.

The fans were already prepared to have a good fight with the "Climbing Ivy" on the premiere day of "Half a Sky." If Ye Chu's screen time was more than Shi Shan's, causing the "Climbing Ivy" to throw a tantrum, then they would use the "strong female lead" label to their advantage and fight the "Climbing Ivy" to the death. If Ye Chu's screen time was less than Shi Shan's, then they would question Zheng Bohan and Xu Hanwen about why they weren't giving the female lead the treatment she deserved, and incidentally, they would also criticize Shi Shan, resulting in a three-way battle between Zheng Bohan, Xu Hanwen, and the "Climbing Ivy."

The ivy-covered side had similar thoughts. Both sides had already laid out their plans, and war was imminent. Who would have thought that after the first episode aired, Li Yiming's screen time was less than five minutes, Li Ruhui was practically nonexistent, and the character with the most screen time was actually the villain, Director Lu!

What should we do now? Should we seek redress on Xue Haodong's Weibo account? But this old man doesn't even have a Weibo account!

The fan circles of Ye Ya and Shi Shan fell into an eerie silence. Instead of fighting as expected, they were deadlocked, and no one knew what to do next.

In this eerie silence, the second episode of "Half the Sky" finally premiered.
