9.Story of Yanxi Palace- A dog was part of some schemes by FL +consorts (poor thing was used to fool the ML,the emperor, once or twice ) and SML took care of it at some point for the FL too. The empress had a talking parrot too

10. The King's doctor -ML was a veterinarian so there were a few animals around him plot wise( cattle , horses, FL's cat etc). He was like Dr, house for animals i guess

2. Joseon Exorcist - controversy around use of Chinese props and cultural icons, food, etc. Show cancelled after 2 episodes aired.

Do cast scandals count? If so:

3. River Where the Moon Rises - bullying scandal involving Kim Ji Soo, gets replaced as ML by Na In Woo after first 6 or so episodes air. Scenes reshot with In Woo.

4. Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha - Accusations made by Kim Seon Ho's ex regarding how he treated her, abortion, etc. Short-lived after more info came to light and he had a lot of fan support. Didn't seem like it had huge lasting effects on him or the drama, but it was a brief controversy.

Cast scandals are okay too if it affected the drama/movie directly

I shall leave it you to decide. Not sure if there was much effect on Hometown Cha-Cha-Cha, aside from the fact it got more publicity.

I will exclude hometown cha cha cha then.

4. Racket Boys - Misrepresentation and offensive portrayal of Indonesians considered as racist in an episode . It got a lot of backlash from that community. Production offered official apology.

7. Addicted - It is a BL drama so, it naturally didn't go hand in hand with Chinese govt. I guess there were a lot of homosexual scenes. Because of this controversy the last 3 episodes were removed from iQiyi.

8. Backstreet Rookie - Backlash over racist character, overly suggestive content, inappropriate kiss scene between minor and adult, etc. Thousands of complaints and many viewers dropped the show/called for its cancellation (which didn't happen, but still). Standards Commission issued a warning to the show.

9. Mr. Sunshine - I think I read somewhere that viewers at the time of airing thought the show as distorting history and filed petitions to stop the airing. I also read that there was an issue with the Dong Mae character played by Yoo Yeon Seok and they had to make some changes
