I never said don't whine about it. It's your free time, use it however you want. I just said be serious, those are real words, they're not even profane words, just use them. Just a note, otherwise, have at it 👍

I think they mean the first scene the actors filmed together.

It's been newly adapted and re-envisioned, the author herself admitted a lot of things in the original novel where things she doesn't agree with now, so she's very proud of this updated version it seems. It's not censored because it's filmed in Mainland China with Chinese actors but only broadcast outside of China, so censorship can't touch it. Nothing to do with Taiwan. It's a very good show so far, it's a little dramatic and farfetched in places, a little dark in places too, but over all, it's a very entertaining watch with the kind of character and relationship development that only China has ever really been able to produce in BL content (including their censored works). I'd recc it, if you don't like it, you can always dip.

Lol, why don't you just type rapist, rape and sexual. You're so butthurt about this topic but you're out here censoring yourself with words that exist in the English dictionary and in daily life for all and sundry to see and understand and hear all over in the real world. Be serious if you're gonna whine this much 😂

For those of you looking for a preview of ep 10, it's up on YT now: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-jr5s7ezTo

I'm gonna need Chi Cheng and Cheng Yu to hug it out after they make up. For science.

I been saying. lol This kind of discussion has already happened so many times in the comment section and will likely keep coming up because some people can't separate fiction and reality and just enjoy the show. lol

AND YET we did get a kiss, the smallest most perfectly appropriate and well timed little kiss on the back of Suo Wei's neck.

I watched this episode twice and still replayed parts and it still feels too short ya'll, this show is not fucking around when it comes to its chokehold game 😭also Chinese BLs are the ONLY BLs I have ever actually teared up for, first TU, then TS and now RL, I don't usually feel feels when I watch BLs but I'm feeling all the feels. I always knew China's BL game was strong, but DAYUM. Respect.

Filmed IN China. Chinese actors. Distributed OUTSIDE China. For the umpteenth time.

This show is playing on my mind (like everyone eeeelllse) and I wanted to make a full FMV, but I only made a short one since the rest of the show needs to air first and my vids are usually full length. T'was fun. If anyone likes series edits/vids they can check it out https://youtu.be/BTIQ59p2YN4?si=Jn-33TKhvXotwTFp

You're not alone, out of the 4 MLs, for me Zhan Xuan aesthetically checks all boxes. XD

Chi Cheng loves his snakes like his children/family, making them invaluable to him. The snakenappng is about his father exploiting that weakness.. Heh, wait until you learn about the premise for John Wick franchise.

Yes it was. It was completely produced there, filmed and everything, so I think people are assuming the same about RL because the distributer is Singapore, not realizing the show was filmed in the mainland.

Ikr, it's like every third comment lol but I think people try to avoid spoilers by not scrolling comments OR they are just too lazy 🙄Just gotta keep telling them to keep calm and watch on 🤣

Lots of 'rumors' and stuff tryna stir up unrest about this issue going around.

Anyway, the only people who could possibly choose to take this down now are the streaming sites and the producers, but even then for the latter, since the show is sold to international streaming sites, it means the producers no longer have full control over the broadcasting rights, they may still hold some creative control, but it's not so easy for them to just pull the show once the distributer owns it.
Although I don't think the producers would want to take it off air, I think they're all quite fine with how things are going (i.e: the show is very successful so far), all this noise online about censorship is just to cause drama imo.

Nope, filmed in the mainland, with mainland actors. Distributed outside of China.

It was filmed in China, just not released in China. Yes, no chance of censorship.

Eeh, I'm bored of your whining now, I'm not reading this lol

Voice dubbing is common in Chinese dramas, they usually make their best effort to choose voices that match the characters (even if we think the original actors voices would be fine), it has a lot to do with pronunciation/accents and enunciation and emotional/character tone.

Here's a video about it released by the director of RL:
