I should avoid going out there then? Got it.
I just saw some melon on Facebook that Winner is King is preparing to be sent away for review, but both leads are not hopeful.
Is there a drama god I can offer some boba tea to get Winner is King to air this year?
The sacrifice of your beloved boba tea is GREAT and worthy. ;p
For some reason, there are always melons about the BL ban being lifted or the last ones filmed getting released. I think it's more a case of wishful thinking.

I think we only have until May before the drama is lost forever lol
It’s unlikely it will ever see the light of day :(
HeadInTheClouds:
Why May? Is there some final deadline for dramas to either pass review or be forever locked up?
My understanding is that the broadcast license will expire in April or May, so if it doesn't air before then, it will have undergo the review process again, and with the BL ban, it's unlikely it will get another license.
That's the thing I don't understand. Winner is King HAS a broadcast license, so I'm not sure why they haven't tried to sell it abroad. Maybe they have. Or maybe the license was rescinded? Regardless, I think it's going to require a regime change at the broadcast licensing / censorship board, before we ever see the BL shows.

About Winner is King, I thought that if a drama already has an airing license it means that it already passed review? But due to BL ban that WTK may not air a couple of year ago? Let us start a prayer circle and vodoo chants group (whatever works) to have another TJC drama to air soon, be it WTK, LYF S2 or LHF. Yes hope @atmosphere can enlighten us more on this or maybe she knows the newest update in c-net on this topic?
That was my understanding, too. And YES. We need another new Tan Jian Ci show airing, asap!

We need to ask @atmosphere to enlighten us on this particular topic.
Yes!
