A Note About Production:
After a title gets announced, it has to go through several stages of production: Discussion. Writing. Funding. Casting. Contract Negotiations. Photoshoots/Promo. Filming. Editing. Broadcast/Censorship Review. Broadcast Licensing. Streaming Negotiations. Advertising. Scheduling. Etc. And some of these steps may have to get repeated several times as issues come to light. This also doesn't include considerations of common courtesy - such as not marketing two shows from the same main cast (or same studio, in the case of countries like Thailand) at the same time. Or two shows of the same premise at the same time. If there is one thing a production company does not want to do, it's divide their viewership up into choosing, or create a scenario that causes excessive comparison, while airing. Note that the avg. drama watcher is a casual one. So please be mindful that some of these projects may take A WHILE to release.
