It's not censored, because they're only airing it outside of the Chinese mainland on non-Chinese platforms. So the Chinese censorship board can't really do anything about it.

Chi Cheng already knows who he values most. It's WSW who has to understand, choose, and come clean. Also, cutesy? I think we probably have very different definitions of what "cutesy" means, haha (I would never refer to RL as cutesy)

Those are the people who just want 24 episodes of fluff and fanservice, with no plot or character/relationship progression. But that's not what RL is, lol

Chinese mainland censorship laws do not affect Taiwanese dramas. It's because it's really just Thailand that does the really explicit BLs, and it's also a fairly recent development even in Thailand.

That's because people share just the spiciest snippets. BL has really only become explicitly spicy in the last couple of years, and mostly in Thailand. Many Korean and Japanese BL are still doing DFKs or the odd kabedon and nothing more. To see as much as we do in RL is actually pretty amazing.

I agree, the main couple is the main ingredient that keeps me eating, but the side couple is like a side dish that provides a sweet counterbalance and makes the whole meal more delicious.

Seriously I feel like going into hibernation Wed—Sun 😂

Thank you for letting us know, always nice to see our boys appear in other dramas!

If you watch the entire episode you'll see that it's set in a fictional country where it's obviously illegal to present yourself as any other gender than the one you were assigned at birth. They start by saying that Prince gets a police call after every performance for this reason. We also see the police turning up by the bedside later. So there may be in-story reasons why Prince is not presenting as completely feminine. But it may also be true that they see themselves as both, or neither, but leaning more feminine than masculine.
This gender essentialistic thinking is damaging to people who are not trans or nonbinary as well, since there is a huge variation naturally and people are being questioned and harrassed about their gender even when they are cis, simply because people don't think they look the way they "should" look. Who decides if someone is "man" or "woman" enough? If a trans woman is not "woman" enough to be in the ladies' bathroom, what about a trans man? Where are people supposed to go if they don't fit into the traditional gender binary?
I am a cis woman and I understand the need for safe spaces for women, but trans women are in fact very unlikely to harass cis women; in fact, the people who are most likely to be harrassed are the trans people themselves. Trans people could in fact be our best allies, but instead the trend has been to alienate them and vilify them, which I personally think is just playing into the hands of the patriarchy.

I tried a US vpn and that worked

I watched it on iQiyi with American VPN

I think s/he's transgender or non-binary, so not a man exactly

Does anyone know which regions it's available in on iQiyi? I'm in the north of Europe and it's not showing up for me 😭

Yes, intention and action. Finding someone else attractive is not cheating, acting on that attraction is. Having intimacy forced on you without your consent is not cheating. Talking to other people and being friendly to them without any other intention is not cheating.

I just went there to add some positive comments. Let's drown out these toxic entitled posts with supportive and affirmative comments! And let's not get drawn in to fight with the unhinged commenters, that will just add more headache for the poor Gaga admin. Just show them that some of us appreciate them and think it's all good!

Imagine if people fighting for their BL biases online could fight for things like LGBTQ equal rights instead...

Some people have very weird definitions of cheating, lol

I like him too, he's a great character. But I definitely don't idealise him, like a lot of people seem to do. He's scheming and manipulative and destructive. But people are such face cons lol

THIS. These characters are all written as very flawed and morally ambiguous to some extent, they're not supposed to be perfect paragons of virtue. And that's what drives the plot—messed up people doing/having done messed up things, not getting the whole picture and jumping to conclusions, forced by circumstances to act in less than optimal ways, but also connecting, growing, adjusting, trying to do right, just like people in real life (but a bit larger than life). Even the least toxic of the characters, WSW's mother, makes problematic decisions when she decides to withhold something hugely important from her son. It kind of baffles me when people idealise them, because they're not *meant* to be idealised. If you do, you've misunderstood the way this story is written and told.

Those people just want a lot of fanservice, they don't care at all about plot or storytelling or the narrative structure. Which is what the rest of us love about RL.
