30 years??? You just killed me.. I am currently reading the novel .. I can't process this 😭
Errr... You better watch it yourself, it's not fun having given spoilers since you wouldn't feel sad, happy, heartbroken, bittersweet feeling like I felt after finishing it for the first time.. 😬
On my third watch, and I've been curious to try to create the eng-sub by myself.
Using the chinese-sub and some good translation-apps but still need to edit the results based on my logic and understanding of every episode since it used quite a lot of idioms that's quite hard to be translated to English, and must match the timing as well.
Such complicated and quite troublesome efforts, I hereby declare my sincere gratitude for those who voluntereed, willingly to create the subtitles for the whole 78 episodes.
Guys... You are really awesome, thank you so much... 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Romance is romance, even without hugging, kissing, holding hands, or other skinship activities, this series showed the deep romantic relationship between Ruan Lanzhu and Ling Jiushi.
The eye contacts, the promises made, the first person to look for after waking up from the accidents, the 50 years of effort to bring him back, the sharing chocolate moment, and lots of tiny bits of sweet moments that basically expressed how much they loved and cared for each other.
Such romance can't be exchanged for some skinship scenes.
I wonder if I could stand up straight and stay calm if a man with such deep gaze like Ruan Lanzhu keeps looking at me, like the way Ruan Lanzhu looked at Ling Jiushi.
China has great BL novels,far better than others.but it is too early for China to accept LGBT
Honestly speaking, I personally don't hold so much hope that the country will openly accept LGBT.
My biggest wish is that they would at least lighten the ban, because as you said, China has lots of great danmei novels and eventhough it has to be made as bromance, it would be still captivating just like this series.
It's from the news that I read around 3 years ago. Saying that the Chinese government issued some new policies that related to their entertainment industry.
The points that I remember : - For the upcoming drama production (after the policies issued), should not produce the supranatural and fantasy dramas that is not in line with the country's belief, traditions, norms, etc. - All male characters in the movies or dramas should not use heavy make up or act femininely. - All male actors, singers, and other male celebrities should not wear excessive outfit or make up. They should talk, behave, and dress up accordingly. - All artists should not be showy of their wealth (wearing expensive outfit and things) etc.. etc...
There are alot of points that were mentioned including about the artist's salary and taxes, and also their performance on public.
You are welcome to correct me if I'm wrong because I might have forgotten or mistaken.
Those are two things that made this series is banned.
China... Sometimes they can be really mean by creating such a great series that put our heart and emotion in a total mess.
Had it not been banned, I believe they could have created many great BL series that definitely will surpass other countries.
LJS and RNZ are not our typical pair but nobody would deny to see the depth of love and care they had for each other.
The bittersweet ending really left me with bittersweet feeling.
No matter what the situation or the circumstances was, LSJ 30 years of effort to return to RNZ's side stay together forever is the essence of this story.
Let's go to find/create our own happiness and be together with our loved ones.
Thank you for the person who accidentally uploaded the whole 78 episodes and thank you to those who managed to download and share this series, and last but not least, thank you for those who are willing to make the subtitles.
The sweet lesson from this story : everything should be started within ourselves.
We should love ourselves and be happy before trying to love and make others happy because how can we love and make others happy if we don't have those feelings in ourselves?
I suddenly have a crush on Lee Tae Vin, he's such a gorgeous and great actor who could show all of emotions in his eyes and facial expression.
Ps. On my wild imagination, I think Tae Myung Ha's world and the game were actually a paralel world, and his senior was the controller of both worlds. It kinda reminds me of old US sci-fi series 'Fringe'
I'm glad I decided to watch this series because it's truly wonderful.
The story itself is really solid, not only about Wu Bi and Su Yu, but also about the family, because like it or not, in reality, a family can be loving and supportive, or can be really hateful and toxic.
What can I say, China, if they really mean it, they can make a hell of drama, one that can stand out amongst other dramas from any other countries.
I personally don't really hold a high hope for the 2nd season, knowing how crazy the censorship in this country.
We can be considered lucky that this drama got the permission to be broadcasted world wide.
Perhaps due this reason that the author decided to sell the script of the 2nd season to the dubbing company as the last resort so that the continuation of Wu Bi and Su Yu's story won't be disappeared.
Whether there will be 2nd season or not, let's just cherish this beautiful drama as long as we can.
One last thing, I can't find myself enjoying other BLs dramas after watching this series.
Even the secret kiss in the classroom is wayyyyyy much more romantic than those passionate and crazy lip kisses out there.
Eh, 50 years actually, pardon my typo..
Some people volunteered to create the subs in English and Chinese, and also in Arabic, but they haven't finished it yet.
If you watched it at kisskh websites thingy, they used machine translation for the subtitles.
If it is officially broadcast on any media platform, I'm really sure that the subtitles would be very good.
But I do believe the story itself is easy to comprehend with or without the good subtitles.

Although after watching all episodes, I got to know why it didn't.
If you see comments using RNZ, it means they have read the book.
Comments using RLZ means they watch the series but haven't read the book.
In the novel, Ruan Nanzhu and Lin Qiushi.
The eye contacts, the promises made, the first person to look for after waking up from the accidents, the 50 years of effort to bring him back, the sharing chocolate moment, and lots of tiny bits of sweet moments that basically expressed how much they loved and cared for each other.

Geez... How I like this series so much, it always puts smiles back on my face.
How each episode is so sweet and touching.
Truly highly recommend it.
Such a sweet story to ease your pain and make you smile again.
We should love ourselves and be happy before trying to love and make others happy because how can we love and make others happy if we don't have those feelings in ourselves?

Have fun re-watching it!
I actually skipped half part of the last episode because I don't wanna get sad.
I happened to see the uncut ending scene on YT, so I took it as the right ending for this series.
