Let's be real, the kids are biologically her & her husband's, not the surrogate mothers. She just wanted to have a secret marriage & kids without the public scrutiny, which would happen if she started showing. If she had done both, marriage & kids, in the light of day, the situation regarding the kids would be no different. The fact that either of these 2, who are not poor, are thinking of giving away the kids is the height of irresponsibility, regardless. The kids have done nothing wrong, and parents are responsible. I understand those people, in situations that make it impossible to care for the children, but simply being inconvenienced is not enough.
I'm not passing judgment on the lifestyles these 2 choose to have, but anyone who says, it's their business what they do with the kids, are likely the very people that those who exploit and abuse children in any form or manner need to get away with what they do. As a mother and parent, I have every right to voice my concern about dependent children who have no voice or rights to protect themselves and live a decent life being treated so cavalierly by adults who should know better.
Okay, let's all put this in perspective. They're just trying to milk your anticipation and hype for all it's worth. OG was 3 eps @ 30 min = 90 mins total for the drama. That allotted time hasn't changed. It's just now it's 9 eps @ 10 min = 90 mins. If you wait until it finishes airing, you can marathon it the same way no matter how they split the episodes up. lol.
I have watched the American version of the drama called "Night of" which aired on HBO. I have not watched the…
I haven’t watched either the BBC or HBO versions but since people are making claims, in order to remove any personal bias for or against; I think it’s best to have a real outlook based on the metrics.
“Critical reception for Night Of:
The Night Of received critical acclaim. On Metacritic, it has a score of 90%, indicating "universal acclaim" based on 40 reviews. It has a score of 95% on Rotten Tomatoes with an average rating of 8.6/10 based on 62 reviews; its consensus reads, "The Night Of is a richly crafted, exquisitely performed mystery that will keep viewers enthralled and leave them devastated."
IGN reviewer Jesse Schedeen gave the entire miniseries an 8.9 out of 10 'Great' score, writing "With only a couple of exceptions, this summer hasn't been the greatest when it comes to new TV series, which makes The Night Of's brief run all the more special. This limited series did little to shake up the formula when it (comes to) crime dramas, but it was distinguished by its amazing cast and the pervasive tension that drove the series from start to finish.”

The female lead in the comic is half Uyghurs even though she looks more Han Chinese compared to Uyghurs Chinese.…
100% spot on. Also, 100% agree.
I starting to believe the racist comments towards Reba stem from jealousy because she’s so gorgeous, and come off as a sweetheart, then co-stars with some of the hottest actors, and they all really like her and maintain a friendship after working with her.
She almost didn't want to act in costume dramas anymore after those comments.... until someone encouraged her.…
Feel so sad for her tbh. She seriously doesn't deserve the negative comments, and appearance shaming she gets because she doesn't fit the "traditional" Chinese look. Frankly, I pawn it off as Chinese citizens have no problems with being open and downright abusive towards their racist hatred of Uyghurs, and it's sad how little attention this fact gets in worldwide public media. =/
She has already done many historical costume dramas, though. Any idea why some people are suddenly complaining?…
It's because of the cult following of this manhua is pretty vocal. You can read below some of the more realistic complaints, such as age gap between leads and Reba looking stronger than Leo which doesn't fit the plot, etc. This complaining on Chinese forums/websites regarding the cast is much nastier than what you'll read her. The outright say she looks like an ugly foreigner and needs to be pulled from casting or they're planning on downvoting the drama rating on various sites to make the drama look like trash. It's the saddest BS you'll ever read.
I cannot believe how much hate this is already getting by Chinese netizens. They legit are saying, without shame, that they're planning on reviewing it badly, BEFORE EVEN WATCHING IT, because they either don't care for Reba's acting style; think she looks too European; think she looks too American; looks not suitable to a Chinese TV series; just don't want her to star in this because she's not worth of the role; among some of the other comments that have been listed.
I feel so bad for her. I can't understand the shittalk and it leaves a bad taste in my mouth for how it comes across as totally racist against her as well.
Depending on where you look, this drama has been completed & finalized it's just waiting for authorization of the airtime. It's listed as being released in either January, February, or April of 2021: https://zh.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E6%96%9B%E7%8F%A0%E5%A4%AB%E4%BA%BA
So, WeTV English posted on IG a birthday wish to Lulu Xu on 12/28/20 stating to look forward to this drama to air soon. WeTV already has the channel link up for it but only has trailer uploaded so far.
Yingpingshuo states that the starting broadcast date is 1/29/21. Based on the teasers from WeTV, I'm going to assume this is a fairly accurate date: https://www.yingpingshuo.com/bfsj/2424.html
Also, based on the trailer, I hope this drama is as romantic as it's showing us and we just didn't see the entire shots of all their romantic interactions upfront, making it anticlimatic. =/ That's a lot of romance scenes in just a 1min trailer so it has me a bit worried. lol.
When this airs it's going to be huge, I think. Filming was completed in July, 2020 and it already is planned for a 2021 broadcast time on multiple Chinese channels and Tencent Video in Taiwan.
I believe the issue with this drama has to do with much of the protesting in HK etc. This was referenced in a state admin press release to be part of the list of entertainment/propaganda to celebrate the 20th anniversary of HK's return to China. It wasn't released then in Nov, 2020 the title was changed to 阳光正好依然是你 ~'The Sunshine is Still You'.
Being the era is 1930, and all the political tension surrounding it even to this day, these types of stories and plots are highly controlled by the CCP and much editing and consideration has to be done just to get it released, if it will ever be released at all.
