Of course, if a drama cannot pass censorship, cutting losses and releasing the early parts with an early wrap or some kind of weird ending where they do a timeskip instead of telling the main part of the story..

Probably not even Iqiyi knows, passing censorship is an arduous process that sometimes takes years.

I somewhat doubt that, the filming has to be done already, or this will need at least 2-3 years to arrive. It won't be easy to pass censorship with this story in 2025.

Thank you ^

Asking novel readers if in the novel..
..breakups late in the story?
..triangle?

its the best in february

Are they in college in e1 already?

I'm annoyed that 7/10 on MDL is like 4 out of 10 outside. These weird weighted ratings gotta stop. Just because bots etc push up even the worst things above 7, that doesn't mean we actual humans should follow that baseline.

I'm about to pick this up, after I confirm the ending is not awful.

Breakups? Love Triangle? Misunderstandings?

I agree with you on this.

Though I think if you are into the makjang genre you'll find this one better, if not so much, then MMH is way better.

>I can’t believe he could fall for her.

She is pretty, sometimes that alone is plenty to become deeply obsessed with someone. The falling for part is the least unrealistic part of this drama I think.

I think this probably going to be quite awful, like `My Strange Hero`. I don't consider this plot viable for a kdrama. I'd be happy to be proven wrong..

Yes, but it shouldn't be!

In China they tend to crack down on every little thing they deem wrong, unhealthy for whatever random reasons. Just this week the state decided to shut down athlete fanclubs, to stop unhealthy obsessions.

Absurd beauty standards are genuinely a problem in Chinese society. All it would take is for the state to ensure that actresses need to take monthly medical examinations & enforce not being malnourished.

Zhuang Shuang is a good example of a person that got ruined due to this. Lushi's situation is much better so far, but at 36kg? she was just as malnourished.

Not saying it's completely impossible your argument is correct, but I think it's unlikely she is eating anywhere near as much as whats medically allowed in her current circumstances. Gawd I really hope her agency/agent is not being awful about this, like letting her be only 3kg heavier than before, or some small inadequate amount like that.

I don't know, she is still way too skinny, look at those legs.

Stranger things have happened..

There are many kdramas that would've been better off having just 12-14 epis. However if I think back how many of 10-14 epi shows were actually really good over the past two years? I can barely think of a few. Mostly it's just rushed endings/unendings galore.

I formed my opinion based on watching the drama & nothing else.

> but the guy is a good actor, when he was to be

I'd love to see that, but I get the feeling that he is only authentic when he just basically playing himself.

I think it's worse than that. He is bad even at the stuff he is typecast for. Gong Hyo Jin is amazing, but I doubt she could lift him up, many have failed before.

The King Eternal Monarch is an interesting case, because comparing the script to Goblin, Descendants or Secret Garden if you look at the dialog & various other plot elements it's not inherently worse, in fact it's arguably better than Descendants'. In my opinion LMH just killed that show with his bad acting.

I'm yet to start watching this drama, but it's possible to make a plot where you all would accept this. Scifi elements & space allows for a lot of situations in which this wouldn't really be cheating. (time dilation, being lost in space together for years and several other space opera tropes could come into play)
