The bright side to this though, and to CM's credit, at least he didn't string JH along and nipped it in the bud before it gets more serious and will be harder for JH to recover. At least, both parties are being mature about it.

Well, I wish I didn't come back to see the comments regarding my fave couple CM and JH. But It's not surprising though. I had reservations about CM and always had that fear of JH being hurt. Oh well. It is what it is. JH is young and lots of fishes in the sea. Just treat it is a learning experience and move on.

Thanks to the show though, no matter how flawed it is, for getting exposure for the LGBTQ communty in conservative S. Korea. And those brave souls who are willing to make themselves vulnerable, Kudos for letting us get a glimpse of your part in the world.

Same here. They could at least be wearing different clothes or have a fade out or some kind of cloudy frame to indicate flashbacks, it's damn confusing!

Most likely it is because of China banning all adaptations from BL/Danmei works which Immortality and Eternal Faith are based on.

If the source material is not BL, then it's just probably tied up in post-production hell.

I don't see announcement of cancelation but I know that China has issued a ruling since last year, enforced this year banning all drama adaptations based on Danmei (BL) works.

This is not rumor. This news has been already released by Chinese government since last year.

We'll be lucky to even see it this decade.

The only way Immortality is going to be released is if they moved production to Hollywood and maybe cast Tom Holland and Timothee Clalamet to be Mo Ran and Chu Wan Ning. *Imagining both with long ass hair* 🤔

Comparing this show with 2 episodes in to ITSAY is blasphemy. It's like comparing Justin Bieber to Justin Timberlake. 🙊

Same here. The 11th episode might be the follow-up. Here's to hoping.

This!!! Say it louder for the people in the back!

Which is why I think this show is progressive in itself. You are right, people can't be comparing foreign TV shows on the basis of their own local TV shows because several factors need to be considered.

If you mean that Namgyu channel, Changmin said he was unemployed at that time. Also I highly doubt it's a personality change, but more of a repressed demeanor because they might have been told to stay away from conversations that are overtly sexual in nature for the show to air.

Changmin is probably keeping a filter on his thoughts or the producers are, just to keep in line with their show's guidelines.

You have to remember that it's not just the cultural differences at play but the overall attitude of the majority of the country that is still very conservative and essentially homophobic. Even with such "tame" content airing, there are still protesters going against the show, imagine if they aired the juicier material, the show will most likely be cancelled. So at the risk of that, producers are playing it safe. Better to air snippets of mundane conversations than broadcasting risque material that may not see the light of day.

Yup. Finished watching only because of Yanase. There's more action in the outro than in the entire series.
