Way too many rumors about HOB. Those were not the official wigs and costumes. I don't think many people remember, but at the very beginning of the filming of The Untamed, they also posted some pics with Xiao Zhan - Wei Wuxian in a weird cheap looking costume and ugly wig. Some people also exploded and though it will flop terribly. Considering how hush-hush they were about the casting, and how popular the novel, manhua and animation are, the chances of them leaking out the real setting pics are 0. Also, people need to remember that the team who will help with producing is very good: director of Untamed, CGI effects from team who did Ashes of Love, and so on

August release date is just a rumor ( one of the many since this fandom has plenty of those). Best bet is that it will air next year or 4th quarter of 2021. I do wonder if the person who started the rumor confused the live-action with the manhua which has been officially announced to release in August

Nope, for now on it will be 1 chapter/month for those that can't/haven't bought the novel. Those that have bought the novel will get more than 1 chapter/month depending on the translator availability. Suika, one of the translators, just mentioned "more frequently"so that will depends alot. Maybe they will update to a more fixed number of chapters. I am grateful that at least someone translates these awesome novels and I truly hope that in the future we will be able to support the authors by buying a physical copy in English or a language that we could all understand.

Personally, I have read the machine translation that someone has already arranged a bit to be more understandable which was ok for me. Fortunately, that version is still up and can be downloaded, which I advise all fans to do since you never know when it will disappear also all of the sudden. I am also pretty bumped since 1 chapter per month means that the free translation would be done after more than 10 years which well...many things can happen in that time. Buying for most of us from Chinese websites is just so troublesome. I tried so many weeks for access World of Honor early episodes and I just wasn't able to do it because my payment wouldn't go through so it was a waste of time. Probably same would happen if I tried to buy the novel as well...If only they would have an international release to buy a hard copy...

From what i understand, the ones who are doing the translations want to do right by the author and allow mostly people who have already purchased the chinese novel and can do a proof of showing a receipt or something like that....Old gdrive links don't work anymore as they have moved all over here: https://2hatl.carrd.co/ . People who can make a purchase, will be able to read more chapters per month while those that are unable to, will read 1 chapter per month for free. What I understood, at least.

I know that most praises are for the main leads(and for right reason as they were wonderful in their role), but I have to admit that I loved the actors that played Scorpion King, A-Xiang, Wei Ning and Beauty Ghost! Hope to see them in more costume dramas and especially in main roles. I'll be honest and say that when i saw the age of the actor that plays Scorpion king, It was totally unexpected! He looks 10 years younger than his real age!

Based on some chinese articles that i read while searching info for Immortality , this one will air soon!

So disappointing to read and translate what Chinese watchers say about this postponement... Just read a few and people saying stuff like: "thunder is loud and the rain drops are small"or that they will prefer to don't even watch it when it airs because they believe that it's unjust that the drama hasn't aired! I mean...nobody in the team ever said a release date. Even 8 and 15 April are just rumored dates. Douban is also not a reliable website for release dates as I saw many animes there having release date in 2023 when they already aired for a few days before...

Something is for sure...If It doesn't air this month, it will be delayed until after end of August or even possibly next year. Olympics will take place in July-August and it's possible that at the TV there will be mostly talk about it and also, the no-costume-drama rule for 3 months ...The Golden Hairpin is also up to air soon after Long Ballad...I believe that the reason they don't air it this month, that it's possible for the drama to need to be censored more... Especially since it needed to pass another trial for censorship...

Ohh, what my life resumed to... coming from work to lurk around while waiting for this to release

It's adapted from a BL novel. Never, no matter the budget, has there ever been real promo before release. Just promo from mouth to mouth and on personal social media from the actors or directors, in Immortality case. Why would they promo it if they can get censored before airing?

Probably not. They might air it as they do with long ballad now. The engsub is only on youtube and not on wetv. Or maybe we are lucky and they put it at the same time on wetv as they did with The Untamed

Crossing fingers that Tencent will suddenly drop the episodes causing us to break internet:))) I still feel like they might air it at the end of April!

You're welcome! I started to re-read the novel again, so it was relatively fresh in my mind:)

The Golden Hairpin is one of the 2 mentioned. Release date on douban is also in April this year. The other one, my Chinese Google translate friend is failing me :)))

I also searched a lil bit online with google translate and apparently Chinese fans are also debating if Immortality will air now, considering that Long Ballad just aired. One of the newspapers said that while it's possible for it to air now also as Tencent might want to replicate what another website did and aired 2 different dramas that had different public of interest (best revenue ever at once), if they don't, then there are weak chances of it airing during next months as there are 2 other major dramas slotted to release then..Soo....we are in a sticky situation! Maybe it will be possible to air it before the end of April when there will be only 2 weeks left for Long Ballad

I might be wrong, but I believe it's chapter 78

:)))))) Yass! And he did it twice! Once when he got out from the water and the next day:))) And he was even wondering how come he was stepping on it when he walked haha. And MoRan silently roasting him lowkey kekeke

I am re-reading the novel until drama gets released, but...is there any chance for that scene in the water with Wanning slipping to be adapted:))) chapter 127 would make a good comic relief considering all the drama that follows in book 3

Actually yes, Tencent also does that:)) Untamed didn't had a trailer released when it aired all of the sudden, didn't even had poster released until 12 hr before they released episodes. Immortality is a highly anticipated drama, so maybe there is hope that we will have a trailer before episodes start dropping..Maaaybeee
