I totally get why you're worried about this show, but luckily there's no news about that. The series has been…
Yes, those crazy fans are the problem. Anyone with a bit of sense would understand what a bad idea that is under the circumstances. Not to mention how unsafe those poor actors must feel. I hope they will be okay.
I agree that it was very off-putting. I think that scene is there to establish Chi Cheng as a cold-blooded, dangerous bastard who doesn't really care about anything or anyone except for his snakes, and that he is extremely dangerous to cross... And then they give us clueless little Wu Suowei attempting to cross him... and then show us how differently Chi Cheng acts with WSW. The contrast is striking. But yeah, it could have been something else, it didn't have to be r4p3. Chai Jidan's characters are always extreme and over the top, almost like caricatures, and the plots are crazy and sometimes ridiculous, so I think for me I just see it as a kind of weird (but oddly compelling) fantasy. It actually helps to make me see them as purely fictional and let myself just be entertained. (And I'm usually not a fan of toxic romance.)

The irony is that Chinese fans aren't even watching it legally, it's us overseas fans who are paying to watch it. Pirating something (nvm that it's the only way they can watch it) doesn't really give you the right to complain about anything. The entitlement!
You know I really like the comparison the writer shows between how Chi Cheng behaves when he's with Wu Suo Wei…
I agree. It's also the fact that Chi Cheng is portrayed as a cold-hearted bastard to basically everyone, and a very dangerous man to cross...and then contrast the way he looks at WSW and how he treats him. It's like he becomes a different person with WSW. The fact that he's not interested in Yue Yue is not surprising, it's very much in character for him, but his behaviour with WSW is out of character for him.
Goodness ZI YU(wu so Wei) and Tian Xuning (chi Cheng) keep getting squished and trampled at the airport. I hop…
Chinese fans can be so crazy. I know this happens with other celebrities too, it's just that those are generally higher profile and have a security team. Poor guys.
That's not what cheating is. Being faithful is choosing your partner even if other people affect you or look attractive to you. Cheating is the opposite, doing what you want even if it hurts the people you love. Just because you love one person doesn't necessarily mean that you become blind to the attractions of anyone else, for most people. It's the way you act that defines if you're faithful or not.
🐍 Snakes in Revenged Love: Full Storyline Breakdown 🧑🤝🧑 Characters Involved: • Chi Cheng (CC)…
ALL OF THIS. Seriously, the snakes aren't just there for shock value, they are essential to the character portrayals and their emotional development. I've been thinking that maybe Chi Cheng might be fixating on WSW as a substitute for the snakes now that they are gone, but it's not the same. WSW says it himself in episode 8, the snakes are his children, and CC definitely doesn't look at WSW like that ;) The fact that WSW manages to successfully feed Little Jealousy is significant on several levels. To CC, it means that WSW is trusted/approved by his most beloved "child". (Imagine a single parent meeting a potential partner and the person doesn't get along with your kid...or, conversely, does get along with your kid, surprisingly well at that.) And this also proves that WSW, in the process of learning about snakes, has become a Snake Person, which is the same as a Chi Cheng person (and might be symbolic of his actual feelings for CC, something he did carelessly as a means to an end, but ended up becoming real). And third... Yue Yue, so idiotic, doesn't even understand the most important fact about Chi Cheng and even does something that will make him hate her guts. She hates snakes and thinks that the snake is what stands between her and Chi Cheng, while WSW recognises that the snakes are the key to Chi Cheng's heart. Clueless little schemer that he is, he's still got the right end of the stick.
Okay, I just heard a rumour that China just changed its censorship laws because of Chai Jidan AGAIN. The tea is that from now on dramas have to pass censorship even if they are intended only for overseas audiences. I'll confirm as soon as I find a source. EDITED: bianbian1614 kindly clarified in the comments below that this is just an unfounded rumour, so no need to worry!
I'm sorry, it has in fact been answered many, many times already, but there are also a lot of comments posted here, so you might have to scroll back pretty far to find it.
– BL (danmei as well as dangai, i.e. censored adaptations) is banned in China. – Every movie or TV/web series intended to be aired within mainland China needs to be reviewed by the censorship board. If there are any obvious (explicit or veiled) homosexual elements, it won't pass the review and cannot be aired. – Movies and series intended ONLY for overseas audiences do not have to pass censorship. The downside is that they cannot air in mainland China and will lack the revenue from the huge mainland audience, so budgets will be much lower, unless the producer can cooperate with an overseas production company. – Mainland audiences can still watch it through a vpn or illegally, but only overseas audiences can support it by watching it legally from paid official platforms.
The fact that this adaptation has *24 full-length episodes* and a pretty decent production is nothing short of miraculous. Most BL coming out of China are low-budget miniseries with few episodes of short duration. I have no idea how Chai Jidan managed to get the budget for this.
i am just barely stopping myself from starting this because i would rather wait a bit longer than experience cliffhangers…
I wish I had your fortitude because I want to binge it so bad and waiting almost a whole week for the next episode is excruciating...but I started it and now I can't stop 😭 The only upside is that I look forward to Mondays 😂
