autumn carrot

I really hope the show will surprise us in a good way. I'm going to keep my expectations low but I will be rooting for them as well.

Sounds like this person is very unreliable. I won't take anything they said too seriously. Since they seemed bitter but the possibility still exists that it could be a subpar show. I just hope it won't be!
I just read the comments and this person just seems like a homophobic person. So we should definitely ignore their bashing.

wait which editor? I've never heard of this before?

eh, it was a long time ago and I don't want to bad mouth someone else's favorite show!

Last time I waited for a show with this much anticipation and collective despair, the show was an utter disappointment. Sometimes I worry that this will become the same.

It really does. I rarely see shows that lean into that instinct like this show did. It's one of the reasons I love it. Though painful to watch, it feel like the show is taking its natural course and it's not forced or for the sake of drama.

Exactly!

I'm not a fan of her acting either but she always comes across as a mindful person. I respect that.

I went on to watch the uncut version and now this show is my most favorite cdrama of all time! It's nearly perfect, I love it.

I mean I am not telling , just guessing but since the actors keep bringing it up and there is a september slot Tencent has to fill then I think we can maybe hope. Though the wait has calmed down for me personally. I can wait a bit longer without being too jittery if I'm honest!

I think the show will be aired soon. Maybe not now but in the upcoming month.

That's not bl so what does it have to do with this show?

No. It's not confirmed. There is a rumor that Tencent will air one of its high profile shows with two male leads. Now there's an appendix rumor that if they decide to really do so, the premiere announcement will come some time between august 16th and 20th.

some time between the 16th and 20th, they will say what will be aired. presumably to replace golden hairpin?

I wasn't that devastated to be honest. My expectations were pretty low. We know how it is by now.

So apparently Tencent will release some news about that mysterious 2 male lead s+ show that will air, sometime between August 16th to August 20th...

CFY's schedule for August was released and he is too busy to also be promoting a show.
I think we should all stop expecting it this month. Maybe in september/october or next year then.

I think so too. I think Iqiyi grabbed this because they knew it had a big following so it was a good move profit-wise but they aren't passionate about it so they are not really working too hard on it actually. I think the casting took so long because there was some issue there too. Just like the rest of it. I was excited before but now I'm just bitterly watching it fall apart. I'm sad. I also feel a little sorry for the actors. They are at the start of their careers, hope this doesn't go feet up and ruin their future prospects, whatever they may be.

She is biased but to be fair, she always says it's her opinion and not trying to pretend it's objective.
That said, I don’t get her obsession with WOH. I really liked that show but it had a ton of flaws and yet she always talks about it as if it's perfection. A bit weird.
As for her alleged bias towards hyx, I think she just didn't like 2ha maybe! That's fine. A lot of people hate 2ha for one reason or another.
