Not just you! I always start with negative reviews first. I need to know if a drama is something I'd be happy to watch or if it would just waste my time.

Where are you reading it?

Thank you! And thank you for your information about what an actual dictatorship looks like. Sadly I think he's trying very hard to be an actual dictator.

Can you link where you watched it that it is longer than 24 ep, 10min? The ones listed earlier are 2hrs 20min.

I knew it came out two months ago, so not related to Iqiyi's announcement, but not what he was actually speaking about. Thanks for the information. I was pretty sure we were only getting part of the story. LYN is a smart guy so I trust he isn't going to be duped by AI.

Thanks for the correction! I just fixed it.

I had to laugh when I read a recent comment here that says the four people in the above photo all look alike. I guess I must have exceptional eyesight, because I managed to tell them apart and even identify three of the four (I'm not that familiar with Zhang Jing Yi so had to search her name, but I do know she doesn't look like the other three!)

I didn't respond to this particular commenter because they said they wouldn't respond to comments since " the audience here has nothing meaningful to say." I daresay they should include themselves in that category since they also said it is too easy to make AI that looks like them because they all look alike. Sadly AI isn't restricted to making images that all look alike. I've been fooled by videos of grandmas give wise advice on youtube only to find out that it's AI (and the grandmas look nothing like Dylan Wang or Zhao Lusi!)

"Here it is completely illegal to film people in public spaces, for instance." I wish that were true in the US.

Can you tell me who she's referring to as a dictator?

I thought The Trust was really good and I liked Zhang Hao Wei. What happened to him was a crime (literally) and I hope he is able to make a comeback.

Thank you for answering. Also appreciate the insight you gave into how your country handles celebrity news.

This is a pretty basic issue of theft. It's no different than someone going into a celebrity's home and taking their personal property. Here the property happens to be their likeness. The law should apply equally to anything a person owns, celebrity or not. A person has the right to give away what belongs to them, but others do not have the right to take it without permission.

Do you mind sharing what country you're from or would you rather keep that private?

Link to the actual interview. Unfortunately in Chinese with no subs, but the comments are interesting. Also it seems that there is an even longer version, but I don't know how to find that one.

Aww thank you! You're the best vertical drama detective ever!

Sadly none of these links work any longer. I was watching the only one that was still working yesterday, but when I tried just now it was gone, too. :(

Agree. Whether the person who has been wronged is rich or poor has nothing to do with justice. Justice is supposed to be blind, not let poor people do whatever they want.

I'm really glad to see that the courts are taking action on this kind of thing. There have been several cases recently where actors have stated they were taking legal action against those who have done what this person did to Wang Yibo. I hope all those cases incur the same type of result.
