Adding my two cents. I think both your comment and the producer’s explanation make sense and can apply in this…
Agree. And I guess a lot of people thought the way you did for the producers to address it on Twitter, which says something about their intent v. how it was received/executed lol
i hate Judah for discriminate bisexsual people ((#Φ益Φ#)) hopefully he end up alone if he didn't learn to accept…
Adding my two cents. I think both your comment and the producer’s explanation make sense and can apply in this situation determining how you interpret it. I lean towards your interpretation. My issue is that we don’t know if in fact Rocky is bi or gay. Rocky is still clearly figuring out his sexuality. He’s confused and probably a little scared—that’s what I saw in that scene. Nothing in that conversation or in Rocky’s actions made it obvious (to me) that Rocky was trying to hide behind the shield of bisexuality; if it did, then Judah’s comment would have been more on point, I think. Rocky had a girlfriend and even though many gay men do as well before coming out, nothing implies that Rocky isn’t attracted to women. So Judah’s comment does come off a bit dismissive of bisexuality and possible insensitive and ignorant (and this isn’t even getting into the stigma that bisexual people have in the gay/lgbt community). (Also notice how Judah got mad when Glenn pointed out that Judah may be faking being gay for clout (which seems ridiculous), showing that he doesn’t like when others make assumptions about his sexuality, even though he kind of did that to Rocky in the scene you mentioned).
Interesting article! I didn’t know specifically what the Chinese government censored (except LGBTQ+) so that was interesting to learn (and see how it applied to Guardian) Guardian is one of my favorite dramas and I’m so impressed with how the MLs (and secondary male leads) were able to convey so much love and adoration for each other within the confines of censorship.
I’m confused about the costume one. Aren’t there several Cdramas that are 100% costume/historical? Or are those not the same? Or maybe they are streamed on something other than TV? I don’t watch a lot of Cdramas and when I do they’re usually modern, so I don’t know much about the different genres and whether I’m describing them correctly lol
I get that they want to make profit but 12usd per episode is way too high. Even Netflix doesn't charge that much…
Exactly! I too don’t blame them for wanting to make a profit, but this is honestly just unrealistic and seems like price-gouging. Unless I’m misreading and they mean $12 for the whole series (which still seems high but is at least comparable to a movie ticket) but I don’t think I am. To be honest, if they’re expecting international fans to pay for this, I think they’re going to be disappointed. Even when BL series are posted for free on YouTube, people will still watch bootlegged episodes lol
Adding on to below comments, I saw a post on an Instagram fan account saying that the cost is 12 USD PER EPISODE!!!! There’s also 3 documentary episodes (which I’m thinking are BTS?) that are 3 USD per episode.
