Don't give out the spoilers for Part 3, lol... ;P... But I remember you like Miles Wei :D
Oh now I'm curious... why there will be a drought of good dramas starting Feb? Did you get any dramaland info I don't know about? But yeah, I still need to clearing up my PTW list of dramas 2019 and older, hahaha.

It won't be possible if you wait until all good dramas stop dropping cos they will keep coming... hahaha. I will check this out after it's subbed anyways, so definitely will be 2022 too. Not sure why but the schedule says it's 32 episodes instead of 24, and it will finish on January 6 for VIP. But it's MangoTV so sub will be late :(
He is the only actor I have never watched in this list... I guess I missed Go Go Squid hype. I'm not a real fan…
I just watched the trailer of his new movie Schemes of Antiques by accident, because the OST was sung by Liu Yu Ning, my favorite OST singer. Then I found out the original source is a novel by Ma Bo Yong. If this movie is subbed (still in the Chinese theaters I guess, just released last week), definitely I will watch it ;D

Uh ok... yeah I like that kinda stuff it's more mystery than horror. I saw in Douban has pretty good rating too 8.2. Thanks for the rec, I put it in my PTW.
Thanks to whoever posted the character chart :D I've been very curious about Gunsmile's character! Apparently,…
I don't remember, the third guy had an ex girlfriend? And who is Gawao supposed to be? And who is the guy to the left of Thyme? with a blue relationship color. Isn't Hana supposed to be the FL's school friend who likes ML?
Hey Cho Na! I always click on any article you write. They're always so fun. Thanks for everything you put out…
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.
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.

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.
