    DEEP DIVE: Jing Boran & Sun Qian's The Early Spring | Rè Sōu Daily

    Meet Jing Boran and Sun Qian — the two leads of The Early Spring, one of the biggest Chinese dramas on Netflix right now — and hear how they actually made it. A Rè Sōu Daily deep dive: The Netflix record — The Early Spring (早春晴朗) debuted at No. 2 on Netflix's Global Non-English TV chart — 2.4 million views, Top 10 in 22 countries, No. 1 in Brazil, Thailand, Vietnam and more — on Netflix, with English subtitlesWhy that's rare — Netflix pushes hardest on shows it produces itself (and in Korea it's a major producer, hence all the K-dramas). The Early Spring isn't a Netflix original — it's a Youku production Netflix merely licensed — so climbing to No. 2 worldwide, largely on word of mouth, is a real crossover and a rare open door for viewers outside ChinaWhat it is — a grown-up, 24-episode modern romance set in Beijing's advertising world and a snowy northern hometown, spanning about a decadeWho Jing Boran is — a Shenyang kid who started out as a pop singer and became one of China's biggest, most respected movie stars (Monster Hunt, Us and Them)Who Sun Qian is — a Harbin-born, ballet-trained, drama-school actress who worked her way up from small roles to leading ladyWhat they're like — both from Northeast China, they bonded over spicy malatang, not script notes; Jing Boran only speaks the Northeastern dialect with her; and part of the shoot happened in Harbin, Sun Qian's actual hometownOff screen — Jing Boran is half of one of C-ent's most private long-term pairings, linked for ~7 years with international supermodel Liu Wen (刘雯); neither has ever formally confirmed it, and Sun Qian keeps her own private life out of the spotlightA first for the industry — reportedly the first mainland Chinese drama to use an intimacy coordinator, which both leads openly praised for letting them focus on the craftThe reception — an 8.6 from nearly 6,000 viewers; adored for the chemistry and film-grade look, with a lively debate about the central relationship that's worth forming your own opinion onIf you like them — Jing Boran's Us and Them and Monster Hunt are on Netflix (Monster Hunt also on iQIYI); Sun Qian's Love Song in Winter is free with English subs on iQIYI, its YouTube channel, and WeTV📺 Where to watch The Early Spring (早春晴朗) — Netflix (English subtitles)🎧 Also on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/033QUuhTzuRqnYmYGw7eQF Sources: About Netflix newsroom; WION; MyDramaList / news.mydramalist.com; Layar Hijau; Yahoo Entertainment; Wikipedia. #cdrama #cpop #chinesedrama #TheEarlySpring #JingBoran #SunQian #Netflix #weibo #热搜 #kdrama
