(I wonder if that's more than usual, or a usual amount for a 40-episode drama.) Good question! I feel like guzhuang dramas would have EVEN MORE, but it's hard to say. Even my recent dabbling with Chinese fic, set in various pretty informal contexts, keeps coming up with chengyu left and right, so maybe "one chengyu every three minutes" really is a pretty average rate?
