Oh come on, that is a major spoiler you need to hide stuff like that.

IMHO its a shame to binge good dramas. They should be watched and enjoyed slowly. But to the fast watchers PLEASE HIDE YOUR SPOILERS. Tyvm.

In the first episode of Song of Glory I mistook her for Li Yitong.

I am just teasing you! :)

Best not subscribe to either yet - so far I haven't seen it on iQiyi (international) or Tencent Video. They may have licensed the international distribution rights to Viki in which case you best subscribe to that to watch it.

What? You don't like high pitched female voices? Faints!

All 49 episodes are out for iQiyi VIP on the domestic (Chinese) site, which I can also access with my International VIP but of course there are no subs. Only 2 episodes are out for non VIP.

I have done it before many times. Its great bc you can tell after 2x who the repeat offenders are going to be. I just unblock them after I am done watching bc there is a limit on the number of blocks. It lets you stay on the thread without getting spoiled. I hate spoilers.

This is a spoiler

For this one I am going to block anyone that spams the thread with un-marked spoilers.

Nah I doubt you will have to wait long. The actors are too popular they will sub this one fast. Fearless Whisper for example will likely take a long time, maybe never...

Thx for the article, I will read it when I have time but what you said would certainly explain why Han Derang was willing to protect Xiao Chuo and her son like that. It is a big opportunity missed because that is the more interesting relationship and their more interesting political and military achievements all took place after Mingyi dies. I am at 30 and am finding the politics and Yansege/Huinian arc very interesting as well.

WB is by far the best drama I watched this year. Its nowhere near as traumatizing as Farewell my Concubine, which was one of my favorites as well. But it is set in turbulent times...

We can rant about the pigtails about it together...

What whimper?

I watched FW ep 1 with my drama buddy (who is a mainlander) - she tried to explain and I cut her off with - I get it if its a China production CCP is good, Kuomintang is bad and if it is HK/Taiwan production, then vice versa. That is the disconnect. They are wildly popular in China but they don't travel well outside bc of this. I personally don't mind at all who are the good guys as long as they win...

As for the BL, I will re-watch the Untamed the next time I have a terrible drama drought. I am one of less than 10 people in the world it seems that just couldn't get into it. But I LOVE Winter Begonia... That said, I hope for epic wuxias and xianxias... I really hope Zhao Ge finally comes out, Zhang Zehan will be Ji Fa!!!

The difference is translation. Tencent Video has 114mm subscribers but they are almost all domestic. iQiyi has 104mm and only 1mm are international. They only release English subbed dramas as and when their translators get to it. I think Detective was so delayed bc they were too busy dubbing Ruyi first. We don't move the needle, even though we pay more to watch. FW is unlikely to be subbed unless by fans. From what I understand, 2021 will be the year of BL.

Where are you on Xiao Chou? I was gonna drop but after ~20 it was ok and by 25/26 it started to get good again... I am not sure if its the subs bc I don't subscribe to Tencent Video but I feel many on the thread don't understand the story...

I was watching FW on my LongTV but YT should be better interface, tyvm.

What can I say... you busted me.

Same here it’s excellent but I am swamped at work again I decided to start Detective first because it’s shorter.
