Okay but imma be real. I thought Jin was actually an angel, but apparently that's not the case from the anime…
he's definitely not an angel in the manga just metaphorically, but since the plot is changed in the anime and this adaption he's completely a green forest in the series ver. I believe they changed that part of him being a red flag because in the manga it was just brushed off like he didn't 🍇 that dude couple times and wasn't addressed seriously at all and that would not work with a human live action adaption so best option is to remove it completely than rewriting the whole plot and adding new events.
The novel's author is the one directing, casting and funding this series along with her sister as I read, mainland cast but it's made by Taiwan obv to pass censorship and they hired a Hollywood team for editing, in post-production stage.
Youku stopped it at EP 8 in 2023 after it got banned and WOWOW bought it this year
I honestly never heard of anything confirmed about that since Youku is a Chinese platform and the ban is still ongoing to them, as for the MDL update about Youku release it has been here since 2023 I don't think it'll be edited out because it's the original release platform but it doesn't mean it is going to be continued on Youku.
I truly left "Chains of Heart" with the impression that Boom was a beautiful face & body with no acting range…
I felt that he was an amazing actor even with how weirdly written Chains of Heart was cuz of how he carried through it well imo that's why I got excited for this one I knew he'd nail this role
