Since pre-broadcast investment has started and youku is also promoting it on social media, we will probably truly see it after Our Generation, so either end of July or beginning of August.

2k left! I feel it will 🙏

What do you mean?
Edit: I just saw the link. It shows "something gone wrong..." to me. It may be a region thing.

3k to go...
Hopefully it will reach 1m tomorrow.

Rumours say beginning of August. Since pre-broadcast investment started it is likely it will truly air soon.

That's c-entertainment for you. And a delay is okay, the worst is when a show has been filmed and suddenly a scandal happens with one of the main actors and it never sees the light of day.

I've been suffering waiting for immortality more years than I remember lol.

Jokes aside, I feel we will actually get to watch this one this time.

And I feel they are gonna just release that typical poster that will just write it reaches 1m reservations...

Honestly, I still believe it is mostly a financial matter.
It is true that they invested tons of money and because they are not releasing it they are currently not making any profits.
However, since they aren't releasing it, maybe they think there is a slight chance it will air at some point -I mean last year (I think) a series that was shelved for like 7 years broadcasted and there are rumous that another one, The Fated General, will also see the light of day after many years-.

The thing is that Cdramas are not THAT popular internationally. So even if they sell it they probably will have no profit or a very minimal one. Plus, this was a high budget production at the time (and the CP is very popular), not similar to the spirealm that was very low budget and probably not even Justice in the Dark -costume dramas are always more expensive-, so risk is much higher. Plus the actors are super famous now, compared to people that starred in The Spirealm that weren't really famous.

To suffer (with the rest of us)

SO CLOSE

Thanks for letting us know. How do u see invisible channels?

I mean, it just came out two hours ago...
Even if someone watched it the moment it dropped they would have finished watching like 15 minutes ago, so it's natural it doesn't have any ratings.

Many times wetv offers some series for free if you follow the airing schedule, so you can wait until tomorrow to see if they will be for free on the platform.

Tomorrow it will be available on wetv international. Even if you don't have an account maybe the first few eps will be for free.

I agree that the series deals with that subject. As I have mentioned in my review above "What this drama hints at is that the final verdicts and conclusions will always be affected by personal beliefs and biases and that in itself is the vulnerability of the law, which, after all, is a human fabrication".

However, all cases mostly depend on circumstances or facts not just this. You can only judge with what you have and what you know or what you conclude with the facts you have. Law in itself is deeply flawed. However, under these circumstances I don't think that the final verdict for LMF's case is wrong taking into consideration the evidence they had (stick vs knife, known facts -no video evidence-, inconsistent statements etc).

I think what would truly help in having better written and more complex dramas would be the lack of censorship, something that won't be happening. The ending of the series felt forced to follow a specific route because of that. I mean the moment you watch it knowing it's a Chinese drama you know that the culprit will not get away with it in the end.

Well, you can't go and kill someone though. Even if ethically speaking some actions seem logical (if someone attacks me I attack back and may kill them) law wise things are different. You can't just kill someone if they attack someone else in every single case.

About the knife pretty sure that was mentioned that it was the librarian's from the prosecutors. About the stick, thing is that LMF couldn't really know about the stick at the time, he felt threatened which is natural. But prosecutors/lawyers etc can tell if something could inflict lethal harm or not. They said that the stick was not thick and wouldn't kill him, plus no matter how you see it a knife is much more lethal than a stick.

And not just that, in the appeal Mei Zheng changed her statement. She said Zhou Lin didn't beat her or tried to assault her and he definitely didn't rape her. So I think LMF was rightfully sentenced for excessive defense. After all, the fact that there were no evidence comparing to the other two cases (like videos) makes the case much more difficult.

Thanks for the answer!

Thank you! How is the bromance? Is there romance and how is the budget?

🙂🙂🙂

Edit: Me coming here every few days and seeing nothing 🤡
