I agree, this is a perfect comfort drama for someone whose life is pretty chaotic. Anyone going through a patch of stability in their lives would find it boring and might prefer something angsty or melodramatic

She's the FL's mum in Hi Venus

It's airing on China Huace's YouTube channel and the subs are really good

The 80/20 rule of love

The English title is very deceiving. They should have just translated the Chinese one

Would it bother you as much if their genders were reversed?

Maybe they could have done the same age thing but I guess the producers thought the audiences would be sensible enough to consider the historical context and setting. I guess they expected too much from some people

I'll advice you to off your modern sensibilities a bit for LLTG. Age gaps like that are historically accurate due to shorter life expectancies. Back then people rarely lived beyond the age of 40; so 15 years old which is almost half of a person's lifespan was considered appropriate for marriage. Of course now that isn't acceptable because we can get much more older than that

Yes, Zhang Linghe may not appear in Love You Seven Times and yes the author didn't write both stories in the same setting but Stellar Gravity productions decided to create a shared universe like the MCU for some of their fantasy productions. The people adapting the story have a right to do whatever they want with their adaptation (Changheng didn't even exist in the book) as long as the author approves of it.

Oh, thank God. Hopefully it airs soon

I really dunno much about how the new rules could have affected Unchained Love tbh. But, I doubt it would affect the Joy of Life series because ZRY said in an interview he did recently that Joy of Life would start filming next year

From the way I framed my sentence, it's obvious that those aren't my own words and that I'm just reporting/quoting something that I saw. If you have a problem then take it up with the person who posted it on Twitter

I saw a post saying this drama didn't pass censorship. I guess that's why it disappeared from the upcoming dramas list on Iqiyi :(

It has always been 2023 on the international website. They haven't changed it to 2022 yet unlike the Chinese website

According to this screenshot from Douban, 1st November is the confirmed premiere date!

Thank you!!

Iqiyi's Chinese website has listed Forbidden Love in its 2022 lineup! They also released new stills which means it's probably going to air very soon

Apparently it wasn't because of the national day but because the CCP would be holding elections this month. So all platforms are putting the release of their major dramas on hold

I hope so, we've waited too long

I saw a rumour that it was because the Chinese National day is on the 16th so they don't want to risk getting on the bad side of the government if discussions surrounding the show overshadows the celebration
