Cho Na

It will be aired on December 9, let's see if it's better than the previous one ;D

omg... and I just wrote an article about it... excited!

Good choice!

Hello Callie! I don't mind readers make off-subject comments in my articles. As long as it's not too personal to reply, I will answer ;D.

I have watched news on CCP treatments of their people. I also found out about NRTA harsh censorship quite early in Asian dramaland, too. Although I just started watching Asian dramas/movies in summer 2019, but my first even Asian show (despite Jackie Chan's movies that are famous internationally of course), is Chinese movie Finding Mr Right. The Female Lead is Tang Wei or Rebecca Tang. As a newbie who was excited finding new amazing stuff of Asian dramaland, normally I looked up about the actors. And there was how I found out right away about NRTA censorship (used to be called SARFT). The actress was banned by SARFT for 3 years after acting in Lust, Caution movie (2007). Even when she's back in 2010 and played in a patriotic tribute movie The Founding of a Party, CCP founder's grandson asked her scenes to be removed.

After watching hundreds of Cdramas/movies, now I'm familiar what parts did NRTA cut or what production companies replaced in post-productions due to NRTA initial censors. Also, how production companies inserted what I called "government PPL" to inspire (domestic) audiences about the glorious China and its people, to get NRTA appovals. For example: hardworking students for youth dramas, championship winning for sports dramas, business ventures over international world or the usage of domestic resources in business dramas, etc etc. Usually I FF or skip the "government PPL" parts. Moreover, as someone who loves fantasy/mystery genres, I'm too familiar how Cdramas/movies of these genres are censored resulting in bad quality. Most of the Light on Series, for example. Which is kinda sad, their people are not allow to fantasize to the fullest.

I have submitted Part 2 of these series, that put me into a depression mode for several days. In Part 2 there are Zhang Han and Zhang Zhe Han in the list. Most of Zhang Han's dramas are probably shelved for a long time (2 are with Korean actresses and others are war/military dramas). And you know what happened to Zhang Zhe Han, right? It's quite heartbreaking for me to write on upcoming dramas of certain actors knowing that their works may never be seen.

Since I see in your profile that you like writing, why don't you give this idea a try: In the Forum's Article Ideas & Discussion, there is an idea pitched in on Chinese censorship (by fiflydramalover). I think it's a bit related with what you've concerned about.

You can contact an editor directly or post in that forum, if you're interested ;D

I think that once a week episode for 45 minutes is killing us, lol. Better find other stuff to watch in the mean time ;P

what did she say?

SSA's story is kinda cheesy it's idol drama cos most actors are from XNine group. If you watched Oh My Emperor, it's also their drama. If you like Xiao Zhan, you'll like SSA. The Gifted is really good, it's idea is creative.

Wow I hope it's just like imagination/fantasy, not really that J school system sucks!

It's in editing right now. I will let you know when it comes out ;D

lol.. apparently a lot of Jdramas

Ah, but this is not a job, cos it's not paid, hahaha... no writer is paid here it's all voluntary (probably only the one who does those daily news). I'm doing it cos it's like a hobby. It also learn better written English, general knowledge on culture, and artistic stuff.

what job?

I'm Aries. Yes, please do. Yes I rewatched up to Ep 3 to find the answer. No worries, I also rewatched the drama for several episodes to get screenshots for this article anyway, so I still remember earlier scenes.

There is a girl who takes the FL around introducing the school and she mentions some zodiacs with superpowers. I rewatched the drama up to Ep 3 to see that scene, but she doesn't mention our zodiacs. Later they have school activities etc when they use superpowers, but I don't remember on which episodes. I don't remember what my superpower is cos it has been a long time since I watched the drama. Sorry... :(

Those are really bad, that's good they made movies to bring up social concern in SK! Thank you so much for the info. I haven't watched Asian dramas in those years so I didn't know. I asked cos when i looked it up, there are two movies with the same name.

why? what's in it? is it the kmovie one with gong yoo? you can spoil me

Which one you haven't watched yet?

I checked! Indeed it looks real scary, but more about that particular student right?

No... no... I don't like horror genre, that's why I don't watch the real hellish school dramas. Rather the ones I can make parodies of, like these ones, haha

I heard it's good, cos I wrote an article on 10 Top Horror Drama and Tientsin Mystic is in it, although I don't watch horror. Is it horror indeed? Also, is it also a part of series?
