It annoys me that a talented actor like him keeps getting support roles. K-dramas are so appearance focused.

Yes, nothing like illegal streaming to help support our favorite dramas, the actors, and crew.

This is a pretty highly anticipated drama with millions in reserve. Since the scandal happened in November, and knowing the Chinese government, I feel like IQIYI may have had a contingent plan just in case. As a business, it would have been pretty reckless of them to not make a backup plan to recoup the investments. With so many investors invested in this drama and so many reservations, they would lose more money by not airing it versus spending the money to take out the 3ML. They can make back this money if they air it, if they cancel it they will never make back any money and lose all money to the investors. So given that IQIYI hasn't taken it down on their website yet, they may be looking at the numbers and figuring out their next steps so I wouldn't write it off completely yet. It would be a different story if the scandal involved the main leads but it doesn't so I think they may have an out - although it will likely take longer to air now.

Spoken like someone not living in Communist China. Everyone working in the industry know the rules, especially after so many regs came out last year that basically said STFU if you want to continue to live and work in the industry. The 3ML should have known his comments may cause significant detriment to his fellow actors, cast, crew, and everyone else who put a lot of time, effort, and money into this drama. If he wants to exercise "democracy" in China, then he can leave the industry and become an activist. China is not the U.S. (although, much to be said about "free speech" in the U.S. these days) and people know the rules if they live there. He chose not to follow them.

What scandal? Something new besides their dating "scandal?"

Where are you seeing that it's cancelled? It shows Eps 1-24, and then 25-44 on IQIYI. Are you seeing something on Weibo?

Which site matters bc it determines whether it can be watched by most viewers. Some viewers don’t get access to Disney+ or other similar sites and rely on Viki or Netflix or bigger sites like that. So if it’s not available in a mainstream streaming site many fans won’t be able to watch it.

Every old drama I watch she is there as a small support role or extra. Was rewatching School 2013 and there she was! One of the students! She has worked so so hard in this industry. Never giving up, starting with small roles until earning those main roles. She is a phenomenal actress and I really respect her. I don’t know why she took such a long break but I hope she comes back soon. I wish her all the best!

People have their favorites. Not everyone goes on a killing rant and tries to kill their father and mother and brothers because of that. You try to do better or just accept that even tho you’re not a favorite you still hold value and still need to live with self-respect and gratitude. Unfortunately it’s the narcissistic crazies like him throughout history that have made many people suffer.

Why do I feel like this drama is going to have a bad ending and a bunch of our good guys are going to die? CDramas suck at their endings so now I’m just paranoid since I’m invested in this drama

He plays such a different character from that and this new drama Blood of Youth. He’s great in this role

Me too! Then it made me wonder what she was up to because I haven’t seen her and brought me here. What IS she up to, haven’t seen much of her.

Anyone know U.S. theatrical release date? If any

The minute I saw it’s Mango TV… 🤦🏻‍♀️ damn it, no subs or pretty much so

I think Wang Anyu is a good actor, with versatile expressions. I’m looking forward to their chemistry.

Does the reporter get what she deserves? Is truth revealed? Someone please let me know under Spoiler tag of course

How is this drama doing in China? I assume very well? Anyone know the ratings?

Sun Yi is such a great actress and is beautiful. I think she needs a new agent though because she gets the worst roles and the worst scripts. It’s like they typecast her to these super tragic, sad, overly dramatic roles. I don’t even think she’s picking them, I think it’s what she gets offered. It’s crazy because all her male leads have made it out to stardom (Deng Lun, ZRY, BJT, etc) with better scripts but she seems to be stuck in the same cycle and the same types of tragic helpless females.

How have I been missing out on such a talented actor! He is really good! Going back and watching all his older dramas like Reset and YAMH!

20??? Omg how is she so young?? I watched her in A Little Thing Called First Love and that was years ago!
