Just finished this one after dragging it out for months. Not a very compelling story. Watched it for Bai Lu who pretty much is the only reason to watch it IMO. The ML was one of the most unlikable, pompous and stiff leads I've seen. Chemistry was pretty much zero. The writing was terrible. 3/10
The government can't take a silly joke? They like to rule by fear and control. So sad for all the people there.
That makes sense. How sad! Hopefully they will change things one day. The huge Covid protests last year show you can only push people so far before they snap.

It reminds of me of the first they came poem. "First they came for the Gypsies, and I said nothing because I am not a Gypsy. Then they came for the Jews, and I said nothing because I'm not a Jew. And then they came for the elderly and infirmed, and I said nothing because I am not elderly or infirmed, ...then they came for me and there was no one left." If enough people chose to stand up and not be cowed, it would make a difference. Going along to get along is the death of freedom. I wonder when the people will have had enough...
He posted a picture of himself holding a white paper, as a protest against the CCP's tyrannical 0 Covid lockdown policy. The CCP had people locked into their apartments with no access to food or medical care, people being forcibly taken to Covid camps and held there weeks. Many human rights violations. There were huge protests last year, and thankfully some measures were lifted.
There are still tons of posters/marketing up. If it was canceled I'd think there would be more scrubbing. It's probably like She and Her perfect Husband, slight delay to tamper the hype and please the tyrannical gov. Fingers crossed it will air this week!
I hate the ending so much! I cried my eyes out not believing what was happening!I can't believe YOUKU did this…
I agree it was a crappy ending, but it wasn't a waste because in the end TTJ won. He didn't destroy the world but saved it. He didn't loose his soul to the DG but remained true to his deepest self. He was able to look at all the bad and accept it, that loving and being loved was still worth it. He was able to save those he cared about in the end and not hold on to bitterness or hate. Super powerful. I wish the writers had mercy and given us a few happy moments for him though!
