does anyone know if ruan lan zhu’s voice was dubbed or if xia zhiguang did it himself? asking cuz the actor’s…
It is dubbed. Most of cdramas will use voice actors to dub, mainly because the actors' voice sometimes doesn't match with the characters or because their native accent is too thick.
I am up to episode 27 and I'm loving it so far, I am so confused why this show got banned? I understand Addicted…
Advance Bravely was broadcast in 2017, it was after the heat from Addicted got a bit down. The Untamed was broadcast in 2019.
Even so, the actors from those series are not allowed to interact in public due to act in the danmed adaptation series.
Later on, after 2021, the banned is strengthened again. The Justice in The Dark was one of the victims, it was taken down only after 8 episodes were broadcast.
Long story short, all danmei adaptations are not allowed to be produced by China's production house and broadcast in mainland China. That is why Shapolang and Immortality distribution rights were revoked and not allowed to be broadcast.
However, the adaptation right still can be sold to foreign production house, including the right to do shooting and using China's actors, but the distribution and promotion are still not allowed to be done in mainland.
Stay With Me was produced by Taiwanese production house by using the China's actors.
The Spirealm production team tried many ways, hoped that it could be broadcast in mainland [by making into 20mnts per episode and changed the storyline from the original novel] and Iqiyi made huge decision [blunder] by directly broadcast the whole 78 episodes.
They were just broadcast for few hours, then it was reported by many people and finally got to be taken down and the distribution right was revoked, but they still could be broadcast internationally.
That is a bit of explanation from what I acknowledged from many sources.
Can we get a 2nd season of this? Since the novel version & series versions are different?
I'm afraid there wouldn't be any sequels for this series.
This series was deliberately created quite different from the novel. The main reason is to pass the censorship but unfortunately it still can't bypass it.
The old version is 78 episodes with 20mnts duration, while the new version is 38 episodes with 40mnts duration. There is no difference between the old or new version.
So it's actually just like watching other c-drama series in term of the length of episodes and duration.
With those whole kissing scene, it's quite impossible for passing the govt censorship.
Damn those 4 young actors... I wonder how they would continue to develop their career in mainland.
When players die inside the door, they will also die outside the door.

2. The level for the horror is probably on 5 or 6, some arcs are quite scary but still acceptable.
What if she pretended to be a pig and eat a tiger?
Love to see Ruan Lanzhu's furious face.
The thorough domestic banning makes it hard to do it.
They once tried to promote and sell some merchandises [used props] but the result is not satisfying.
Whatever troubles or difficulties you face, never forget to sleep and eat well.
