One house voice. Clearly credited.
Jade Rabbit is ChineseDramas’ anonymous house pen name. Our original review pieces identify AI editorial analysis and link to the material assessed. The name does not represent a fabricated human biography, a critic panel or an audience consensus.
Three review stages.
- First look
- A bounded trailer or promotional-source analysis. It states whether the basis was a transcript, selected visuals or audiovisual review. It cannot receive a whole-series score.
- Episode review
- Identified episodes assessed with documented audiovisual coverage. Its claims stay within those episodes; it does not grade an unseen ending.
- Whole-series review
- Every episode in the specified edition assessed audiovisually, with traceable observations. Only this stage can enter the Jade Rabbit whole-series score chart.
The Jade Rabbit rubric.
The house score runs from 0 to 100. It is an original editorial judgment using a consistent rubric. It does not purport to measure objective artistic truth.
Writing & structure
Motivation, scene construction and how the story develops its central conflict.
Character work
Agency, relationships and whether changes feel earned.
Performance
Delivery, interaction and the acting choices visible and audible in the reviewed material.
Visual craft
Direction, staging, camera, design and how images serve the scene.
Pacing
The use of episode time, repetition and momentum across the reviewed run.
Payoff
How the complete story resolves what it has asked the viewer to invest in.
Coverage is part of the verdict.
We record the exact series and edition, original source, episode or trailer scope, analysis date, language and limitations. A transcript can inform story analysis; it does not establish voice performance, music or complete visual coverage. Background playback or a successful video load does not count as a reviewed episode.
Partial access, missing audio, subtitles of uncertain accuracy and inaccessible episodes remain explicit limits. Unknown criteria stay unscored. A later completed review is a new dated assessment; an earlier first look retains its original scope.
Four signals, kept distinct.
The Jade Rabbit Score is house criticism. The Drama Index is our source-based discovery order. Viki and iQIYI audience scores stay separately attributed, with dates and counts. Your personal score stays on your device.
Public reader ratings need actual accepted votes and suitable integrity controls. We do not present local device ratings, selected comments or model-generated opinions as a public reader consensus. Sponsorship and artwork do not change house verdicts or index positions.
