I’ve been reading the novel while waiting for new episodes to drop. So far, the show’s stuck pretty close…
China has strong rules about showing 'mental illness' in dramas, so it is easier to just go with a fantastical element instead. Though it is clear we are just dealing with psychopaths.
My favorite rule is that they can't show zombies (mutilated corpses) in dramas.....so anything with zombies is always changed to a 'disease' or 'magic' or something :D :D :D It really just forces writers to get creative :D
PUBLIC SERVICE ANNOUNCEMENT: Don't forget to request this series through your Netflix and/or Viki accounts......for the future :) It would be nice to get this up on international streaming platforms for everyones' enjoyment. Thank you!
I am on Ep 24 and am unable to understand why FL lead is helping X Lin escape prison and I also do not understand…
I think part of it is also that LSS cannot separate out her future self (where he is her brother in immortal clan) and her YXW self where he is a different person. I think she keeps viewing him as her close brother instead of this stranger in the past. I feel like she is very young and naive immortal, but I guess that is the character. It frustrates me a lot.
ZY truly was the best master TTJ could have ever asked for. It was really hard to watch. We have lost two amazing…
It shows that it is just not ONE person (LSS) who makes a difference, but the collective actions of a community that make a difference. Every individual is important as the each part of the WHOLE.
For this specific drama, I don't think that's the reason. The reason for delay wasn't censorship but copyright…
Just because it plays on Viki international, it doesn't mean it has nothing to do with censorship in China. It is really censorship in China. Since two years ago, they have been cracking down hard on LGBTQ+ content including source material.

Viki is international app, so we see many things not aired in China on it. China denziens can use VPN at their own risk....or watch if they are outside China.
