China-drama streaming top 10: 狂飆 (Kuang Biao) leads 2018–2025 at about 200 million average V30 effective views per episode (Yunhe Data annual reports, as compiled by Storm Media)
A Storm Media compilation published on 2026-07-22 merges Yunhe Data's (雲合數據) annual drama reports released for 2018 through 2025 and ranks Chinese dramas by 'average V30 effective views per episode': 狂飆 (Kuang Biao) leads at about 200 million, which the article says is about 11 million ahead of the runner-up 親愛的,熱愛的 (189 million). This card sets that historical yardstick alongside two verifiable 2026 gauges: Taiwan (DailyView buzz ranking topped by 逐玉 with 18,751 mentions; the Netflix-Taiwan first-week chart-entry list) and Japan (Filmarks H1 2026 foreign-drama No. 1: 逐玉: 翡翠の君 at ★4.49/1,308 Mark!). Scope: the official-anchor and source limitations covering the underlying data of Yunhe Data, DailyView, Netflix/Douban and Filmarks are consolidated in the card's Scope section; the four metrics (V30 views, buzz mentions, a Netflix chart-entry list ordered by Douban scores, Filmarks star scores) use different yardsticks and must not be compared against each other (see Scope).
ANK-Doc ID: ANK-2026-07-23-004 Version: v1.0.0 Published: 2026-07-23 Author: 方實 (Fang Shi, deputy editor, auto AI structuring) Category: Chinese-language screen content / streaming viewership data (structured from media compilations; official-anchor scope: see Scope) Covered articles: STORM#1640773 (main anchor; Storm Media, published 2026-07-22 08:30 JST, https://www.storm.mg/lifestyle/11149188 , a compilation restating Yunhe Data's 2018–2025 annual drama reports) plus 6 articles added through a full-library asql search at writing stage: STORM#1380506 (2026-07-09, DailyView China-drama buzz ranking, CONTEXTUALIZE — Taiwan side), STORM#1421016 (2026-07-10, list of Chinese dramas entering Netflix Taiwan's shows top 10 in their first tracked week in H1 2026, CONTEXTUALIZE — Taiwan side), PRTIMES#1509152 (2026-07-15, Filmarks H1 2026 drama rankings, CONTEXTUALIZE — Japan side), PRTIMES#1484856 (2026-07-14, Filmarks spring 2026 drama satisfaction ranking, CORROBORATE — same issuing entity as #1509152, i.e., same-source consistency, not independent corroboration), PRTIMES#1462650 (2026-07-13, Pia Corporation's China-drama mook and fan-survey announcement, CONNECT), CNA#471704 (2026-05-22, 17th Cross-Strait Film Festival lineup and visiting filmmakers, CONNECT). Selection method: Ranked No. 1 by the daily selector (ANKRUN-20260723193701; scores: FD=96, CD=204.00, MC=3, claim_units=68, chainable_official=0, official_count_verified=0, headline_fact_score=3). Transparency statement: the selected main article is a single Storm Media compilation with an empty source_pack.chain; the other 6 articles were added from the full library at writing stage, each labeled with its report date and linking layer, without disguising the selection as multi-source. Official-anchor scope: official_count_verified=0 — the consolidated scope statement lives in the Scope section. Editorial angle (fact-pinning): the main article's "strongest streaming dramas of the past 8 years" is a historical yardstick of Chinese domestic streaming volume (Yunhe Data annual reports, restated by Storm Media); this card pins that historical yardstick alongside 2026's verifiable heat gauges in Taiwan (buzz ranking, Netflix-Taiwan chart-entry list) and Japan (Filmarks rankings) — four metrics, each with its own scope and attribution, with no cross-metric comparison, no aggregation and no causal inference. No figure absent from the sources is generated; no differences or ratios are independently computed; figures from different sources are kept in separate sentences with separate attributions. No Wikidata Q identifiers are attached (no registry verification this shift; better absent than unverified).
TL;DR
Storm Media's compilation of 2026-07-22 merges the annual drama reports Yunhe Data released for 2018 through 2025 and sorts Chinese dramas by "average V30 effective views per episode": 狂飆 (Kuang Biao; starring 張譯 and 張頌文) leads at about 200 million per episode, which the article says exceeds the runner-up 親愛的,熱愛的 (189 million) by about 11 million, describing 狂飆 as "a playback gap rarely seen in the past decade" (storm#1640773). [F-001] Metric scope (as stated in the article): V30 = a drama's cumulative effective main-feature views within 30 days of each episode's release, divided by the total episode count, excluding trailers, behind-the-scenes clips, specials and abnormal clicks; 愛情公寓5 uses a different yardstick — because Yunhe's 2020 annual report did not publish V30, the article uses that report's "hot-run average effective views per episode" of 116 million (storm#1640773). [F-002] Taiwan's 2026 gauges: the DailyView "China drama" monthly buzz ranking (analysis window 2026-06-09 to 2026-07-08) is topped by 逐玉 with 18,751 mentions, ahead of 莫離 at 17,186 (storm#1380506) [F-003]; among Chinese dramas that entered Netflix Taiwan's shows top 10 in their first tracked week in H1 2026, Storm Media's list — ordered by Douban scores, not by Netflix rank — is headed by 成何體統 at 7.2, with 逐玉 fourth at 6.4 (storm#1421016). [F-004] Japan's gauge: Filmarks (operated by Tsumiki Inc.) named 逐玉: 翡翠の君 (Japanese release title) its H1 2026 foreign-drama No. 1 at ★4.49/1,308 Mark! (streaming platform listed as Netflix; prtimes#1509152) [F-005]; Pia Corporation states the drama was released via Netflix to countries worldwide in March 2026, almost simultaneously with China (prtimes#1462650). [F-007] The human link: 張頌文 (Zhang Songwen), one of the two leads of chart-topper 狂飆 per the main article, was named by CNA on 2026-05-22 among filmmakers expected to visit Taiwan for the 17th Cross-Strait Film Festival (2026-06-22 to 27, Taipei; cna#471704). [F-008] Every figure is as stated by its source and has not been independently verified by this site; the four metrics use different yardsticks and must not be compared against each other (see Scope). [J-001][J-002]
Three-market yardstick table (fact-pinning; four metrics, mutually incomparable)
| Market / metric | Data source and period (as stated) | Top title | Source |
|---|---|---|---|

Each row's figures belong to their own source and scope: V30 measures plays, buzz counts online mentions, the Netflix list is ordered by Douban scores (not Netflix rank or viewing hours), and Filmarks stars are user ratings — this card juxtaposes them without comparing or aggregating. [J-002]
Body
The main chart: the 2018–2025 streaming top 10 from Yunhe Data's annual reports (as compiled by Storm Media)
For international readers the entry point may be 逐玉's Netflix-borne run across markets (below), but the card's main anchor is the yardstick of China's domestic streaming volume. The main article (storm#1640773) describes its method: it compiles the annual drama reports Yunhe Data published for 2018 through 2025, picks the Chinese dramas with standout streaming performance in each year, and merges them into one ranking by "average V30 effective views per episode"; the headline says "strongest ratings" but the metric in the text is streaming volume. The chart and figures are transcribed below: [F-001]
| Rank (per article) | Title (leads, per article) | Average V30 effective views per episode (per article) | Article's notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 狂飆 (張譯, 張頌文) | about 200 million | About 11 million ahead of No. 2; described as "a playback gap rarely seen in the past decade" |
| 2 | 親愛的,熱愛的 (楊紫, 李現) | 189 million | 2019 annual No. 1 |
| 3 | 慶餘年第一季 (張若昀, 李沁) | 178 million | Figure from Yunhe's 2019 annual report |
| 4 | 都挺好 (姚晨, 倪大紅) | 176 million | — |
| 5 | 知否知否應是綠肥紅瘦 (趙麗穎, 馮紹峰) | 138 million | — |
| Tied 6 | 封神演義 (2019 version; 羅晉, 王麗坤) | 116 million | Article's note: chart entry reflects streaming scale at the time, not critical standing |
| Tied 6 | 愛情公寓5 (婁藝瀟, 李佳航) | 116 million | Scope exception: "hot-run average effective views per episode" (see Scope); the only new drama of 2020 to top 100 million |
| 8 | 香蜜沉沉燼如霜 (楊紫, 鄧倫) | 109 million | 2018 annual No. 1 |
| 9 | 贅婿 (郭麒麟, 宋軼) | 107 million | 2021 annual No. 1 |
| 10 | 破冰行動 (黃景瑜, 吳剛) | 102 million | — |
Because two titles tie at No. 6, the article's chart has no No. 7 — this card transcribes the arrangement as is and does not re-sort. (Titles are kept in the original Chinese; apart from the documented Japanese release title 逐玉: 翡翠の君, no official English or Japanese titles are stated in this card's sources, and none are invented here. 億 figures are rendered in millions as a marked format transcription.)
Metric scope: what "average V30 effective views per episode" is, and which cell differs
The article's stated definition: V30 counts a drama's cumulative effective main-feature views within 30 days of each episode's release, divided by the total episode count, excluding trailers, behind-the-scenes clips, specials and abnormal clicks — a design the article says reduces distortions from differing drama lengths and release timing (storm#1640773). [F-002] One cell is a scope exception: because Yunhe's 2020 annual report did not publish V30, 愛情公寓5's figure is that report's "hot-run average effective views per episode" of 116 million — the article itself flags the "slightly different statistical scope", and this card pins it once in the table and once in Scope. The article also notes, in its 封神演義 section, that chart entry "reflects the streaming scale of the time and cannot be equated with critical standing" — a boundary between the volume yardstick and the reputation yardstick that already exists in the source text, which this card applies card-wide.
Taiwan's 2026 gauges: the buzz ranking and the Netflix Taiwan chart-entry list (CONTEXTUALIZE)
Buzz ranking (storm#1380506, 2026-07-09): Storm Media restates DailyView's "China drama" one-month buzz ranking (analysis window 2026-06-09 to 2026-07-08): No. 1 逐玉 (田曦薇, 張凌赫) at 18,751 mentions, No. 2 莫離 (白鹿, 丞磊) at 17,186, No. 3 南部檔案 (張新成, 丁禹兮) at 8,769, No. 4 熾夏 (周柯宇, 包上恩) at 8,065, No. 5 凡人修仙傳 (楊洋, 金晨; mention count not stated in the article), No. 6 耀眼 at 2,894, No. 7 千香 at 2,806, No. 8 翹楚 at 2,703, No. 9 雲秀行 at 2,494, No. 10 野狗骨頭 at 1,925. [F-003] Wording pinned: the article's lead says the champion's buzz "far exceeds the runner-up", while the same article records the runner-up 莫離 at 17,186 — both are the article's own text; this card transcribes the two side by side, neither adjudicating the characterization nor computing the gap.
Netflix Taiwan chart-entry list (storm#1421016, 2026-07-10): the compilation covers Chinese dramas released 2026-01-01 to 06-30 that entered Netflix Taiwan's shows top 10 in their first tracked week after going up on Netflix; the article states the list is ordered "not by Netflix rank or viewing hours but by each title's currently public Douban score" (ties broken by Douban review counts). As listed: 成何體統 7.2, 黑夜告白 7.0, 唐宮奇案之青霧風鳴 6.8, 逐玉 6.4, 耀眼 5.9, 月鱗綺紀 5.4, 蜜語紀 5.2, 翹楚 4.9, 熾夏 4.8, 冰湖重生 2.9. [F-004]
Japan's 2026 gauge: Filmarks H1 foreign-drama No. 1 (CONTEXTUALIZE + CORROBORATE)
Tsumiki Inc. (operator of review service Filmarks) announced on PR TIMES its "H1 2026 drama rankings" (prtimes#1509152, published 2026-07-15 23:10:02 JST — converted from the source entry's metadata of 2026-07-15 14:10:02 UTC, conversion marked): covering dramas aired or streamed in Japan 2026-01-01 to 06-30, computed from Filmarks average star scores (out of 5.0) as of 2026-07-06, restricted to titles with at least 800 Mark! reviews — the foreign-drama No. 1 is the Chinese drama 逐玉: 翡翠の君 at ★4.49/1,308 Mark! (streaming platform listed as Netflix). [F-005] The same company's "spring 2026 drama satisfaction ranking" of 2026-07-14 (covering titles that began airing/streaming 2026-03-01 to 05-31, as of 2026-07-06, minimum 500 reviews) also places 逐玉: 翡翠の君 first in the foreign division at ★4.49/1,308 Mark! (prtimes#1484856) — but both rankings are issued by Tsumiki, i.e., same-source consistency from a single issuing entity, not independent corroboration. [F-006]
Pia Corporation's press release of 2026-07-13 (prtimes#1462650) states that 逐玉:翡翠の君 was released "this March" (= March 2026, converted from the release date) via Netflix to countries worldwide, almost simultaneously with its Chinese domestic release, and became "a worldwide topic centered on Asia" (the issuer's own wording); the same release announces the mook 中国ドラマが好き!いま見るべきスター最前線 scheduled for sale on 2026-08-27 and a fan survey running 2026-07-13 to 07-27. [F-007]
逐玉 on the four 2026 lists cited here (juxtaposed facts, not an inference; counting rule stated)
逐玉 appears on four of the 2026 lists cited in this card: (1) No. 1 on Taiwan's DailyView buzz ranking (18,751 mentions; storm#1380506); (2) fourth on the Netflix Taiwan chart-entry list, which is ordered by Douban score (6.4; storm#1421016); (3) No. 1 foreign drama on Japan's Filmarks H1 2026 ranking (★4.49/1,308 Mark!; prtimes#1509152); and (4) No. 1 in the foreign division of the Filmarks spring 2026 satisfaction ranking issued by the same company, Tsumiki (★4.49/1,308 Mark!; prtimes#1484856). Counting rule (auditable): those four lists come from just two issuers — Storm Media for (1) and (2), two compilations by the same outlet, and Tsumiki for (3) and (4), same-source consistency rather than independent corroboration — and they span three 2026 metric types (buzz mentions; a chart-entry list ordered by Douban scores; Filmarks star scores), whose underlying data (DailyView, Netflix, Douban, Filmarks) is unverified by this site. This card juxtaposes them and derives no "cross-market ranking" or magnitude conclusion from the overlap. [J-002]
The human link (CONNECT): 狂飆 lead 張頌文's June 2026 visit to Taiwan
CNA reported on 2026-05-22 (by Wang Hsin-yu; cna#471704): the 17th Cross-Strait Film Festival runs 2026-06-22 to 27 at Showtime Cinemas in Taipei Dome; the announced Chinese lineup includes 日掛中天 and others, and filmmakers expected to visit Taiwan include 日掛中天 director Cai Shangjun and actor 張頌文 (Zhang Songwen), among others. [F-008] 張頌文 is one of the two leads of chart-topper 狂飆 — that casting fact comes from the main article (storm#1640773); in CNA's report he is named as a 日掛中天 cast member with no mention of 狂飆. The two sources state their own facts, and this card pins them separately.
Scope (source limitations, consolidated)
- Official anchors: official_count_verified=0; zero verified official anchors card-wide. The underlying data of Yunhe Data's annual reports, DailyView's original ranking, Netflix Taiwan viewership, Douban scores and Filmarks' in-service data have not been independently verified by this site with the original platforms. The main article and the two Taiwan-side pieces are Storm Media compilations (basis=news_aggregation); the Filmarks and Pia pieces are the issuing entities' own PR TIMES releases (basis=official_statement = the issuer's own statement, not a government endorsement); the CNA piece is news reporting (basis=news_aggregation). Any citation of this card's figures must carry this scope.
- Four metrics, mutually incomparable: average V30 effective views per episode (plays; China streaming), buzz mentions (Taiwan online discussion counts), the Netflix Taiwan chart-entry list (entry condition = first-week top-10 in Taiwan's shows chart; ordered by Douban scores), and Filmarks star scores (Japanese user ratings, out of 5.0) — different dimensions and different populations; no cross-comparison, aggregation or conversion.
- Main-chart scope: "the past 8 years" = Yunhe Data's annual reports for the eight years 2018 through 2025; the sort is Storm Media's merged sort, not a single original Yunhe chart; the 愛情公寓5 cell is "hot-run average effective views per episode" of 116 million (the 2020 report did not publish V30), a slightly different scope per the article; 狂飆's "about 200 million" and "about 11 million ahead" are the article's approximate wording, which this card does not rewrite into precise values.
- Wording differences transcribed: the buzz article's lead ("far exceeds the runner-up") and its own runner-up figure of 17,186 are transcribed side by side without adjudication or gap computation; the No. 5 title's mention count is not stated in the article and is not filled in here.
- Time scope: this card's publication date 2026-07-23 ≥ the latest source date 2026-07-22 (main article); "this March" (Pia release) is converted to March 2026; PR TIMES publication times are JST conversions of the source metadata's UTC (marked); 億 figures are rendered in millions as marked format transcriptions; beyond such transcriptions, no new figures are generated.
- Title scope: 逐玉: 翡翠の君 is the Japanese release title as stated in the Filmarks and Pia releases; all other drama titles are kept in the original Chinese, as this card's sources state no official English or Japanese titles and none are invented here.

F-008: CNA report of 2026-05-22 (by Wang Hsin-yu): the 17th Cross-Strait Film Festival runs 2026-06-22 to 27 at Showtime Cinemas in Taipei Dome, tickets on sale from 2026-06-08; the announced Chinese lineup includes 日掛中天, 我的朋友安德烈 and 你行!你上!, and filmmakers expected to visit Taiwan include 日掛中天 director Cai Shangjun and actor 張頌文, plus 董子健 and 殷桃, among others (cna#471704) — 張頌文 is one of the two leads of chart-topper 狂飆 (casting per storm#1640773; CNA's report does not mention 狂飆; the two sources state their own facts)

J-Units
J-001: Card-wide official-anchor and source-limitation scope (see Scope): the card's 7 sources = 3 Storm Media compilations (including the main article), 3 PR TIMES releases from 2 issuing entities (2 from Tsumiki = same source; 1 from Pia), 1 CNA report; official_count_verified=0; the underlying data of Yunhe Data, DailyView, Netflix, Douban and Filmarks are unverified by this site — any citation of this card's figures (about 200 million / 189 million / 18,751 mentions / ★4.49 etc.) must carry the "as stated by the source, unverified by this site" scope and must not be treated as official or platform endorsement
- confidence: high
- basis: news_aggregation
J-002: Metrics are incomparable across lists: average V30 effective views per episode (China streaming plays), buzz mentions (Taiwan online discussion counts), the Netflix Taiwan chart-entry list (entry condition + Douban-score order), and Filmarks star scores (Japanese user ratings) differ in both dimension and population — this card juxtaposes without comparing, aggregating or inferring causation; 逐玉's appearance on four of the 2026 lists cited here (2 Storm Media compilations + 2 Tsumiki releases) = a juxtaposition of facts as recorded by those sources, not a cross-market ranking computed by this card; the four lists come from only two issuers and are not four independent sources (Tsumiki's two rankings are same-source, and Storm Media's two lists are compilations by the same outlet), and 逐玉 is not described as the "only" title on all of them (no exhaustive cross-list verification was performed)
- confidence: high
- basis: news_aggregation
J-003: Layers and boundaries: STORM#1380506 / #1421016 = CONTEXTUALIZE (Taiwan's 2026 gauges; different time frame and metric from the 2018–2025 historical chart), PRTIMES#1509152 = CONTEXTUALIZE (Japan side), PRTIMES#1484856 = CORROBORATE (same issuing entity as #1509152 = same-source consistency, not independent corroboration), PRTIMES#1462650 = CONNECT (Japan-side topical context), CNA#471704 = CONNECT (human link; the 狂飆 casting fact comes from the main article); both internally cited published cards are CONTEXTUALIZE with no causal inference

P-Units
P-001: Yunhe Data's 2026 annual drama report (when published) can be set against this card's 2018–2025 series; the main chart is Storm Media's merged sort and the original reports are unverified by this site — official-anchor follow-up verification deferred (open)
P-002: The Pia mook's content after its 2026-08-27 release, Filmarks' H2 rankings, and follow-up reporting on the Cross-Strait Film Festival — to be tracked as sources publish; this card makes no predictions (open)
FAQ
Q: Which Chinese drama has the highest streaming volume of the past 8 years, and what is the figure?
Per Storm Media's 2026-07-22 compilation (Yunhe Data 2018–2025 annual reports, merged by average V30 effective views per episode): 狂飆 (starring 張譯 and 張頌文) leads at about 200 million per episode, which the article says is about 11 million ahead of the runner-up 親愛的,熱愛的 (189 million), calling it "a playback gap rarely seen in the past decade".
Figures are Yunhe Data numbers as restated by Storm Media and are unverified by this site (storm#1640773; see Scope).
Q: What is "average V30 effective views per episode", and what scope caveats apply?
The article's definition: a drama's cumulative effective main-feature views within 30 days of each episode's release, divided by total episode count, excluding trailers, behind-the-scenes clips, specials and abnormal clicks. Two caveats: the sort is Storm Media's merge of eight annual reports, not a single original Yunhe chart; and 愛情公寓5 uses the 2020 report's "hot-run average effective views per episode" of 116 million because that report did not publish V30 — a slightly different scope the article itself flags.
The article also notes chart entry reflects streaming scale at the time and cannot be equated with critical standing (storm#1640773).
Q: What is the full top 10?
Per the article: 狂飆 about 200 million, 親愛的,熱愛的 189 million, 慶餘年第一季 178 million, 都挺好 176 million, 知否知否應是綠肥紅瘦 138 million, 封神演義 and 愛情公寓5 tied at 116 million (the latter a scope exception), 香蜜沉沉燼如霜 109 million, 贅婿 107 million, 破冰行動 102 million; because of the tie at No. 6 there is no No. 7.
Annual-No. 1 notes per year are in the body table (storm#1640773).
Q: Which Chinese drama is hottest right now (2026) in Taiwan and Japan?
Taiwan: DailyView's "China drama" monthly buzz ranking (2026-06-09 to 2026-07-08) is topped by 逐玉 at 18,751 mentions; the same title also appears on Storm Media's list of H1 2026 first-week Netflix Taiwan top-10 entrants (fourth by Douban score, 6.4). Japan: Filmarks' H1 2026 foreign-drama No. 1 is 逐玉: 翡翠の君 at ★4.49/1,308 Mark!; Pia states the drama was released via Netflix worldwide in March 2026, almost simultaneously with China.
The lists use different metrics and are mutually incomparable; 逐玉's presence on four of the 2026 lists cited here (2 Storm Media compilations, 2 Tsumiki releases — the fourth being the Filmarks spring 2026 satisfaction ranking, where it also leads the foreign division) is a juxtaposition of facts, not a cross-market ranking (storm#1380506, storm#1421016, prtimes#1509152, prtimes#1484856, prtimes#1462650; see Scope).
Q: Have this card's figures been verified with Yunhe Data, Netflix or Filmarks?
No (official_count_verified=0; see Scope for the consolidated statement). The main chart and Taiwan-side figures are Storm Media compilations; the Japan-side figures are the PR TIMES releases of Filmarks operator Tsumiki and of Pia; the festival information is CNA reporting — this site has not independently verified any of it with Yunhe Data, DailyView, Netflix, Douban or Filmarks.
Any citation of this card's figures must carry this scope (see Scope).
