Lovely well made Korean BL drama very sensitively done romance balanced with intriguing back story〜 when they get it right K drama is the best〜the episode about filming the drama was also worthwhile my only doubt when watching was if it would be better with fewer longer episodes rather than 9 short episodes( I watched it in two evenings)or if it would be better as a movie but they are planning a movie I understand〜10/10
I still don't get what this has to do with immortality and other shows...I get how it would affect shows produced…
I am drawing inferences as to why these shows are not being released as comments here suggest they are ready to so why are they held up? no one knows but it is known the company is a target of general crackdown on big companies by Chinese government as they see them as threat to ruling party〜 in China if company or person is under investigation for anything it will cast a shadow over the whole company and can hold up all their activities。 in one case Jack Ma I think disappeared for months for investigation。also Chinese censorship office is suddenly on an attack using possible "bad moral effects on minors" as a reason as with WeChat but they are also looking at drama books etc。. I do not know if these shows are already made but if so they can still hold up circulation〜 people are asking why the delay so I just try to report the news from Asia that may be explanation
Beijing it seems is making antitrust and anti-monopoly crackdown affecting Tencent and other companies to quote one article ”The country's antitrust watchdog in late July ordered Tencent Group and its subsidiary Tencent Music Entertainment Group to relinquish exclusive music licensing deals with global record labels within 30 days” ー at least this may slow down company's ability to produce entertainment of all types。South China Morning Post headline writes ”Tencent bid to contain fallout from negative media publicity over app-related case”、also ”Tencent was targeted by a Beijing procuratorate because the youth mode of its WeChat social media app allegedly failed to comply with minor protection laws”。 I read the SCMP and notice these story and I think although not directly mentioning drama it may delay company in producing media entertainment〜 I hope not but we are still waiting long time to see these dramas and I just wonder if it this that causes or influences delay〜 I hope not but want to let people know what is going on〜〜
excellent movie though plot structure with competing power-military- big business wealth not original〜but it raises seem complex questions about how you define what is human, the meaning of existence, living and dying, human connections and how science and ethics can be reconciled〜〜the ending was moving but not what I had hoped for。 Park Bo Gum as Seobok reminds me of his role in 「Hello Monster」
difficult to follow the political intrigue but maybe with time all will become clear〜 but great set piece martial arts and fight action scenes and beautiful actors and mise en scene
not great drama but a great gay romance story not afraid to show same sex emotional (including tactile) expression and closeness without graphic sex (which would not fit the character of this drama anyway)。 I wish the Chinese authorities would get over themselves and come into the Twenty-First Century and stop censoring any expression of human love〜 TAIWAN is well ahead of them in this
I really feel for this guy spinning in a vortex of conflicting interests〜 just how I feel watching this show but it keeps my mind sharp to try following what is going on and seeing how he survives〜〜highly recommended sharp satire, no romance had it on my list should have watched sooner 〜even the music's good variations on theme of J S Bach!
just came across this〜unusual if incredible take on school drama but well done and inventive entertainment 〜 what is in the mind of hikikomori I don't know but his acting of it seems very convincing and quite moving〜 becomes weepy if you are sentimental though‧⁺◟( ᵒ̴̶̷̥́ ·̫ ᵒ̴̶̷̣̥̀ )
