  • Heat Index measures engagement and popularity (and is calculated in mysterious ways). Each time a drama hits a new peak, it's a new milestone. 
  • Heat Index can only be compared within networks, not across networks. 
  • Youku's max is 10000. After that, it counts how many days it can reach 10000 (which is not included in this summary). 
  • Q2/3 dramas tend to be more popular because of the summer months.
