They want to avoid China censorship so it’s set in “Korea”
You guys come up with the craziest explanations. You do realize that this has nothing to do with Korea and it was approved by the NRTA for broadcast, right? Every CBL is that you are watching now. They are not “avoiding censorship” - it literally went through the approval process. Don’t just make things up & repeat them.
Watched the 11th episode 3 times. Yes 3 times, and I am not over it yet.This could never ever be turned into a…
The director, screen writer, casting director, producer, etc real identity is unknown, but uses two aliases (so far) - Lizzy & Zelia. She used Lizzy when she made Secrets Happened on Litchi Island. At the time I thought she used the alias because it was literally the first risqué CBL in 10 years. It was the first CBL of 2025 & it was absolutely beautiful. This year she used Zelia an as alias for this series. She has chosen to use different aliases & both of her CBLs are unique, stunning, vibrant, & full of life, love, & challenges. You should check out her first one, too.
It was distributed by a Thailand production company for broadcast. It is a fully Mainland production - production team, actors, & location. Last May, Mainland China laws were changed & the NRTA changed their policies to allow BL & Danmei to be licensed to be broadcast abroad. That is why 166 new CBLs have been announced. 72 have aired. Some are only broadcast in the Mainland.
They also decided that BLs & Danmeis that have been filmed will be broadcasted gradually because it would be a loss for the producers if they’re not broadcasted. During this period of broadcast, no domestic ones will be filmed, unless they are licensed to be broadcasted abroad. After this period, domestic BLs will resume filming.
These were the laws & policy changes that have allowed you to enjoy CBLs in 2025-26. It was not a “loophole” as many claim. It was a literal law & policy change. All CBLs that you have seen are approved for broadcast by the NRTA.
Hope this helps you understand more. The listed country is where it is distributed from, not where it was produced or who produced it.
This was such an emotional episode. Heartbreak & sadness with Comrade Ploeng’s death & finding comfort in eo & then Sasin & Ravin’s longing & need to be closer to each other after they realized they shouldn’t waste time being apart. Sasin taking him to that mountain was a confession of love alone. They are so sweet together!
I’m dreading the future though…there’s so much foreshadowing😢
why are they cutting the kisses? or are the actors not kissing at all?? i was really looking forward to this,…
I honestly don’t even know what version you guys are watching. You must be watching the TV version. Uncut is on Gaga. There’s a NC scene - let alone kisses.
