Than you! I was wondering what had happened to it.

Oh, I'm talking about the drama too. You are right that nobody dies *on screen*, but it's heavily implied that they probably will (although since it's not shown, we can all have our own headcanon that their gambit of inviting everybody of importance actually worked, and they got to live happily ever after).

It's not available everywhere.

I think it's obvious that it's an old argument between them. Tharn has brought it up before, Type has put him down before. That's why they both looked so uncomfortable at the dinnertable when Tanya brought it up. It actually looked better in the actual episode than in the trailer, I think -- at least here it wasn't just "but we're both guys!", but actually an explanation of how Type feels. He still has a lot of fear around being official and public about this, and getting married is as public and official as it gets .

I don't know how it works in China, but giving it very bad ratings, starting boycott campaigns, spreading rumours, digging up dirt on people, that sort of thing. Not sure they could actually "kill" it, but they could probably make sure they'd end up losing money on it , just so that nobody would want to work with Xiao Zhan ever again. But hopefully it's not that bad anymore. I'm not Chinese so I don't know for sure what the situation is with his haters now, but they managed to screw up his life and career pretty badly when they made an effort to last time.

I'm also confused. To me it looked as if they held a wedding and invited all the important people in the area to deter an attack from the villain, but the villain said it wouldn't be enough to deter him...

I thought the ending was very ambiguous, with yes, the implied marriage (though we never saw it take place) hut also their implied imminent death, since they all figured that the allied troops would not get there in time, and the villain also said that inviting all the higher-ups to the banquet would not deter him from attacking. Maybe I missed something important at the end? The version I saw just had them being dressed as for a wedding, and then walking up a staircase, and cut to the message about needing more than a cinnabar banquet for a marriage.

I guess because homegrown tomatoes are so much tastier than store-bought? XD

I guess they're waiting to be sure that the Xiao Zhan antifans have subsided and won't rise up to kill the drama because he's in it ...

To Be Announced

That doesn't make sense, though. How would he get there? He's poor, lives on his own , doesn't have a car. If that was the case, she would have brought him along in the car when she was given the ride there., which she obviously didn't do.

Thank you. I was about to stop watching, and that was the only thing that could make me want to continue. I'm so done with gay people being tragic and dying. (Except in UWMA...)

I feel that this is a really weird call to make, trolling the audience like this.

THANK YOOOOOU! Oh wow, what a great first episode! *o*

Ooh, that was very helpful, thank you again!

Thank you! Six months would be torture, haha (although I was prepared to wait until the series ended and then pay the membership fee if they weren't going to release them for free at all...)

Do you know if the free versions will drop about a week later, or will we have to wait for six months or something? (I'm in continental Europe, so it shouldn't be blocked for me)

It's not often you find a series that hits all the right notes in both script, casting, acting, directing, pacing, editing, music... This is one of my absolute favourites now.

This series really raised the bar for BL!

IKR?

I know! They even claimed in series 1 to be nothing but crack with no substance or educational value whatsoever, and it's not even true!
