Then it will need to repass censorship...

For the time being let's just hope they either drop it soon or they find a way to make it work.

Same...

That's so sweet!

Have a lovely day too.

As long as the eps are up I have hope...

Even though I am not that hopeful for April, I generally have much more hope comparing to previous years.Since Justice in the Dark saw the light of day (even though we don't know when the rest of the eps will be out) it seems like the rules are more lax, so I am hoping. Let's see. It seems that after that March meeting they are throwing out lots of dramas, so if we are lucky maybe we get to see a danmei adaptation (even if it is one of the less known ones).

Plus there were all these posts by crew members and actors pointing to the release of the series, so I have some hope.

Thank you 💙

I hope you get some rest then 💙

I doubt they would ever do that. They know how much money it can bring even if it gets releases later than it should. Besides let's not forget that their bigger financial benefit would be from Chinese citizens rather than the international audience, so netflix is a no.

With tencent I get too worried 🤣

I hope you are right and there are no problems and most of all I hope we watch it...

Waiting as usual...

Generally okay.

How are u?

Yeap, 100%. I mean HYX is like 350 chapters so even 58 eps are not that many, taking into consideration other danmei adaptations. Faraway wanderes is like less than 90 chapters and the drama adaptation aka WoH had like 36 eps.

Yes, exactly. Tbh though, I am a bit apprehensive about it. If they make a ''wrong move'' and they decide that it would be okay to sell it as a straight romance, it would be pretty disappointing and pretty bad especially from a reader's perspective.

I just read the second paragraph of what you wrote and yeap exactly what I am also afraid of. I saw that they also changed another character's gender (but I am not sure what his purpose on the novel is so far, so idk).

Btw, when you said you have read the first novel you mean the seven seas one right?

Yes, I have the same worries. I feel like the only thing we can rely on is the script and the chemistry between the characters. If Mo Ran's character has a better chemistry (which I believe he will) with Chu Wanning, then there will not be any actual huge problems.

Yes, let's see. For the time being let's hope that it gets to see the light of day and that no scandals with happen until then.

We can only hope, so let's hope for April 😭

Like kwanto said, HYX has supposedly passed censorship.

Regarding the theme of the story (I also haven't read that much of the book yet), I also feel like there are many things that are difficult to be adapted one way or another comparing to other danmei adaptations.
However, having seen some leaks I was already impressed that they actually filmed some of those scenes, since I expected them not to.
I feel the change of gender in some characters was also a ''censorship'' move.
I personally feel like they could manage to portray the complexity of the world building in the series (of course excluding some elements and events that are not able to pass censorship).

Tbh, I don't know what to even expect regarding the releases of the series. I feel like technically HYX should get released first (with the more optimistic view saying that it will come out on April), but you never know since they belong to different platforms. It seems to me that they may drop the least anticipated dramas first.

Regarding the censorship, I feel like things are way more lax, so as long as tencent doesn't decide to butcher the drama just to be safe, it will be good enough.
I do have a bad feeling though, since they unnecessarily cut scenes from LoN (that was not even a danmei adaptation), when Justice in the Dark didn't seem to actually be edited much and included all intimate scenes.

Even though it does sound logical, I feel like it will create a huge backlash for them.

Regarding the other adaptations, I don't feel like this series has anything to do with it. I feel like everyone is either being cautious or they just wait for the right time to air them...

We've been waiting for so long though. I hope we get to see them, before anything else happens 😭

I literally believe they don't know either.

I don’t know 😀

Like I get why all these adaptations were filmed. The previous ones were very popular so they needed money, but what's with all the new ones? They are filming other series and they haven't even released one of them (with the exception of JITD that no one knows when it will continue) 😀

*markinh all days of the years as clown days

Thanks! Wow that's longer than I anticipated

Thanks

It's the "murderous" type of smile 🤣

It better be 😅
