A TV series would have a different time from the time it received the distribution license to the time it was broadcast. Generally speaking, a TV series would take about a year from filming to release.

Therefore, after a TV series received a distribution license, it would still take a certain amount of time before it could be officially broadcast. The specific time depended on the production progress and approval process of the drama.
