Trouble-chan

It's on their respective Imdb pages as well with series having a 2020 on those as well. But I agree - I actually read it was a lifetime ban. Not sure what's going on with the censors/government, but I can only guess it's nothing good. i would prefer no second season given how the censors wanted it to end before it was banned.

I don't want to get anyone's hopes up - but there's a hint of a second season....on Imdb it's labelled as 'Shang Yin' and has a season 2 indicated for 2020. NOT sure it will happen and I kind of don't want it to be true because we all know the censors and Chinese government WON'T let it have a happy ending. The closest we MIGHT get is a bromance ending....which I DOUBT given how the censors wanted it to end on a season 2 the first time round AND how the first season was obviously a gay relationship. Anyone else have any views about this? How you think it might end IF there's a season 2?

Yeah, I don't even know why I ask anymore when it comes to Chinese malexmale dramas. *sigh* - But thanks for the reply. :)

Ah, THANK YOU so much for the tip!!

Happy or sad ending?

I agree - I think the people of China are just being forced to follow a regime down a pretty scary path towards one section of their society. China's not the only country either. Arabic countries are worse with their own LGBT+ community. Women also suffer immeasurably there.

Case in point for China with the censors lack of tolerance - Johnny Huang of Addicted (aka Heroin) fame. On his Imdb page there is ZERO mention of that drama. It's like it's been erased from his life. Same goes for Timmy Xu's page . Just so sad that they can't even leave it on their resume for the Western entertainment industry. It's not like they don't know they made that drama!

Still, they make the 'bromance' dramas and YouTubers make the 'edits' that put across the real story from the original books! LOL! I love that people find a way around it.

I wish nothing but good luck to the Chinese people and a hope that one day they get the democracy and freedom they really deserve. I still vividly remember that young man in Tienanmen Square. He was, and always will be, my hero.

Yup, that was my take away from it all too. I was actually glad they broke up. She was so sweet; nice and kind with a big heart - she certainly deserved better than him.

Oh yeah, I'm 55 now and it was 32 years ago for me (though it did take me a LONG time to get past a lot of it). I'm married to a wonderful man and have a kind and caring daughter. I'm VERY lucky and count my blessings. :)

So this is basically a Chinese version of the wonderful Korean drama 'Falling for Innocence'? I'll definitely give it a look - that drama was so good that I bought the (subbed) dvd!

Well, in parks and on pavements, etc they usually have someone going around clearing up the dog mess and who also empties all the dog poop bins in dog walking areas....so yeah, that's probably his job.....but hey, if he didn't do it, think of the mess that would be left..

THANK YOU!!

Chatting to those who know more about this drama, it seems it's been through hell to even get this far. The Chinese censors have done everything they can do to stop it even getting out of China. It's been hacked to pieces by them and is a shadow of the original story, even what we have has been heavily censored too. So we should probably congratulate them on getting it released at all as this has taken them YEARS.

I sincerely doubt there will be much, if any, more LGBT+ dramas exiting the dictatorship of homophobic and anti LGBT+ China.

Me neither....such a shame...... :(

Zhou Yi Wei is in this and in a MAIN role!! We really don't see enough of him these days!

I had a violent controlling ex and he was nice to start with, then slowly controlling, then violent. By the time the violence started I was completely controlled. I was lucky though that I saw the light (so to speak) and managed to get away from him. I think my ex is the worst because its so slow and insidious - at least with Nagata those with any sense of self preservation can leg it straight away. It's just a shame that, even though he was very obvious, Saki decided to be as blind as I was to my less openly vile ex.

But my big question here is - what happened in the end? I'm hoping at the very least she left him, better still she found a shovel and took him for a long walk in a distant forest, coming back strangely alone. ;)

So will this be another Chinese BL story played as 'bros' or is it actually a bromance only?

I will watch anything about the Shinsengumi - much maligned, insulted sect who were so much more noble and honourable than later history portrayed them.

I saw the Korean version and wanted to throw my laptop out of the window. I just won't be able to sit through this and remain calm. :(

It's on dramacool

Shouldn't the family have some kind of revenge on him? I'm about to start watching , so I can't say if he has other family, but surely any surviving siblings or parents would want revenge?

No, I don't mind spoilers - I LIVE for them! :)

Well China refuses to acknowledge any LGBT+ calling it a deviancy lifestyle choice and there's camps to 'cure' those who choose it. So I guess that at least Thailand's doing better than that. My daughter is pan and says that pans and bis get a lot flack even from the LGBT+ community too.

Not that I'm saying ignoring is right - it's not, but at least Thailand, like Taiwan and Japan are taking steps forward, rather than backwards.
