When Will TSD Be Released?

Here’s a million dollar question for you. 

A lot of people predicted and thought that it will be out after “Drive of Life,” but according to the new schedule of upcoming series. “The Ultimate Crime Fighter” will be replacing “Drive of Life.” What will replace “Entire City Dances” (unofficial title)? That would be Dayo Wong’s ancient comedy “Evil Kin” (unofficial title). TUCF will air till Nov 24 while EK will air till Nov 2. Before receiving this bit of news, I was pretty sure TSD had a chance to air in October, but nope, TVB decided to crush our hearts again. Coupled with the fact that WOIL 2007 is rumored to be another Anniversary series, TSD doesn’t seem to be rising from the ashes anytime soon.

Anyone know why TSD is placed on hold again and again? Please enlighten us. Other than TVB being just plain cruel, I have some theories…

HD Broadcasting
TSD was filmed using HD technology.  TVB is planning to convert to HD broadcasting by the end of the year. By the end of the year, TVB will have their own HD channel.  Since HD broadcasting is not quite ready yet, series like TSD and “Tai Chi” have been placed on hold.

Anniversary Series
TVB thinks it is worthy of becoming an Anniversary series and is planning to have it air in November. TVB’s General Manager Stephen Chan said he has already seen TSD and had high praises for it. Even Bosco once said that he likes this series. It does seem like TSD has high production values being filmed in Japan and all. Plus, “Under the Canopy of Love” was such a success.

Christmas
Since this series was filmed during the winter and features many snow scenes, it is very likely that TVB wants to air it around Christmas. The only gripe I have about this is ratings may not be the most optimal as people go on vacation during Christmas break.

Valentines Day 2008
“Under the Canopy of Love” was aired around Valentines day last year and achieved great success. Since this is predominantly a love story, it would fit the occasion. Just hope that Lunar New Year won’t clash with Valentines as ratings tend to be low during this period.

Warehoused
I think this is the least likely possibility due to the amount of money spent on it. It has been heavily promoted. I remember while it was filming, there would be news practically every day with coverage of the filming. Of course, the main reason why the reporters were so interested in it was because they wanted to catch Kevin and Niki red handed. TSD was recently featured at Beijing’s TV and Movie Fair. TVB had its own venue, but they only featured a few series such as “The Gem of Life,” “Entire City Dances” which will air in September and “The Seventh Day.” Below are some photos of the fair. I doubt TVB would put this series to waste by warehousing it. Plus, how could they miss out on utlizing Kevin and Niki’s rumors while they’re hot?

Welcome!

Hey everyone! I would like to welcome you to the new and improved ”Seventh Day” fan site.  What happened to the old one?  Let’s just say I wanted something more organized and easier to update.  Although the layout and the organization has changed, you can be sure that the content will still be here and perhaps be better than ever. 

Being the webmistress of both K-N.Net and the TSD site, the number one question I get asked is, “When is TSD going to come out?”  The only answer I can give you is… an honest, I don’t know.  I wished I had some insider information, but unfortunately, I don’t.  You’re just going to have to sit and wait like everyone else.  More waiting?!  I know, I know… it’s been almost a year since TSD began filming, but what can we possibly do about it?  If I called the shots, TSD would have aired a long time ago.  The best I can do is give you some pictures and info to relieve your agony a bit.  I know it’s not much, but better than nothing right?

Some parts of this site are still empty, but don’t you worry.  Once TSD airs (whenever that will be), you can be sure I’ll have all the latest pictures, clips, and info.  Those that know me, know that I’m a crazily obsessed KN fanatic so how could I not be on top of things when it comes to them?  That is, unless life gets in the way.  Anyway, enough of my babbling… so go on and explore to your heart’s content.
