Shine On Me Episodes 8-9 Release Date and Time
Shine On Me started airing on 22 December 2025 with a batch of early episodes. Episodes 1 to 5 dropped on day one then episodes 6 and 7 followed on 23 December.
Today the schedule moves to the next pair. Episodes 8 and 9 are set to go live on the official platforms on Wednesday 24 December at 6 pm China Standard Time.
If you are watching from India that time converts to around 3 30 pm IST. So you can expect the new episodes to show up in the late afternoon then stay available for evening viewing.
There is a small difference between VIP and SVIP users on Chinese platforms. SVIP viewers get one episode ahead which means earlier access to episode 9 while regular VIP users see episode 8 first then catch up later in the same window.
Where to Watch?
Shine On Me is a Chinese romance drama adapted from Gu Man’s novel Blazing Sunlight. It stars Song Weilong and Zhao Jinmai.
The drama streams on several platforms at the same time. The main home is Tencent Video in China with releases at 6 pm China Standard Time every day during the launch run.
International viewers have more options. The show is carried by WeTV iQIYI Viki plus Netflix in many regions according to the official listings and rollout news.
For India there is a clear path. Filmibeat notes that Shine On Me is available with English subtitles on WeTV and Viki while JustWatch and Netflix confirm that the show is also streaming on Netflix India.
Some fans use the WeTV app directly from the official site if it does not appear in the local app store. The article on episodes 8 and 9 explains that Indian viewers who want episode 9 early may need WeTV since access there follows the SVIP and VIP system more closely than global partners.
Shine On Me Episodes Release Schedule
The airing pattern is fast. This is a 36 episode series that airs daily which means new content almost every day through the initial broadcast period.
Here is the basic early schedule in plain words. Episodes 1 to 5 dropped on 22 December then episodes 6 and 7 on 23 December then episodes 8 and 9 on 24 December. After that two episodes continue to roll out daily for VIP users on Tencent and partner apps.
| Episodes | Release Date |
|---|---|
| Episodes 1–5 | December 22, 2025 |
| Episodes 6–7 | December 23, 2025 |
| Episodes 8–9 | December 24, 2025 |
| Episodes 10–11 | December 25, 2025 |
| Episodes 12–13 | December 26, 2025 |
| Episodes 14–15 | December 27, 2025 |
| Episodes 16–17 | December 28, 2025 |
| Episode 18 | December 29, 2025 |
| Episodes 19–20 | December 30, 2025 |
| Episodes 21–22 | December 31, 2025 |
| Episodes 23–24 | January 1, 2026 |

| Episodes 31–32 | January 5, 2026 |
| Episodes 33–34 | January 6, 2026 |
| Episodes 35–36 | January 7, 2026 |
All new episodes land at 6 pm China Standard Time on Tencent Video WeTV and iQIYI with Viki and other services following the same or a similar window. That same 6 pm slot equals 3 30 pm in India so you can treat late afternoon as the regular release time for fresh episodes.
SVIP members on the Chinese platforms stay one episode ahead of VIP viewers which is why some fans talk about mild spoilers on social media. If you watch on Netflix or Viki in India the platform might group episodes in pairs for easier binge viewing but the core timing still tracks back to that Tencent 6 pm release.
Across the whole run the drama airs every day of the week which fits the listing that shows Shine On Me airing Monday through Sunday starting 22 December 2025. That pace helps the story move quickly from Nie Xi Guang’s college crush years into her adult life with Lin Yusen in the workplace arc.
