I think the youtube shorts are from the same production/distribution company as In Your heart and Capture Lover.

Yeah I think it has to do with the fact that they see idol culture in general getting out of control. It really started with the Untamed, like how fans swarmed Xiao Zhan at the airport blocking him and other passangers from boarding their flights. They're also cracking down on idol contest and excessive spending on idols. Considering most idol men are "feminine men", so idol drama is getting extra scrutiny by the government censor, making them make more changes to their productions. From what I've seen, its possible I missed something.

From what I know, the mainland chinese film & tv industry doesn't have a rating system, just a censor process. This makes the majority of mainland china productions very sanitized with the exception of war movies since I guess they're heavily managed and promoted by the government. This started around 2016. This made pretty much anything even a little sexual just off limits. This has the unfortunate side effect of hitting lgbt content hard. Then there's also the self-censoring hoping that their productions don't get censored.

Well at least from what I've seen on Weibo, it was produced in China.

Although they do mention Taiwan in a separate post

Also here is an interview with the head of the production company

Btw I used google lens/google translate to read these. I don't actually speak Mandarin. Trying to learn tho.

At least to me, that wouldn't be a bl. Only bc BLs have their own tropes compared to gay tv and film. Also the Shipper is hard to define as a bl with the limited interaction between the bl couple bc of the body swap. But that's only my opinion.

I don't see how anything you said contradicts what I said and vice a versa but okay.

Well its not like they would go to jail or something. I mean Tencent, a chinese company, still has Addicted (the mainland chinese bl) available to watch on their platforms, just not in China (unless you use a vpn which I've seen a lot of people do). And that goes for other BLs too. WeTV for instance, while being a Thai subsidiary, is still owned by Tencent. As for career, the two main actors of Addicted have been in many mainland productions since and have many upcoming. I guess the only thing would be that Addicted was initially shown on the mainland, but this won't be shown at all. So the actors won't get much attention from it on the mainland.

Feb 11th is the official date. I'll be out on Viki and Gagaoolala. The director has been counting from 7 days on their instagram. 5 days left as of this writing.

Weird, but good

On GagaOOLaLa, it says it comes out tomorrow the 31st, not the 30th.

The director answering a question about the international release on tiktok live,

Tldr: no international release yet.

Yes. Mainland Chinese, not Taiwanese. Its from the same director that did Capture Lover.

I don't think so. I quite liked it. It just had a couple problems that pilot episodes usually have.

'Eternal Love' (drama) and 'Once Upon A Time' (film)
