You’re the one who accused me of being an alt account of someone I don’t even know, lmaoooo. Why are we pretending that I accused you of something here? You were the one who immediately dismissed me by claiming I was supposedly an alt account, which, to me, implies I’m a bot. So, don’t lecture me with some empty quote about projection or antagonizing when this was all you

I understand your point, and I agree that there’s a fine line between critical journalism and sensationalism. I don't want MDL to fall into the same trap as sites that thrive on gossip and controversy, but I don't think the article necessarily crossed that line. The article wasn’t just about spreading rumors or drama for the sake of it; it was raising questions about the portrayal of complex issues, and the ethical considerations involved in producing such content that chinese ppl had

Also, I’m genuinely interested in having a productive discussion about this. I’m not trying to stir the pot but to encourage more critical thinking about how media, especially celebrity-driven content, is approached and consumed. I think it's important that we can discuss these things respectfully and thoughtfully, without dismissing valid concerns just because they challenge popular opinions

as to the editor I am not going to address her as I do not know her but a lot of you guys are criticizing the fact that this article exists and I am confused about it , why would it be wrong to write an article about what seems to be a shelved chinese show on a platform about asian shows. Why cant we discuss the concerns and rumours brought as to why , they are important, its important journalism

I watched first ep, even read reviews and we all agreed about the weird voyeuristic and self centered tone that was conveyed -even if it wasnt her intention. There are reasons as to why its shelved guys. I beg you guys to think more about the ethics of things, not everything is "stan " stan Stan. Sometimes you have to be willing to think outside of your worship of a celebrity, this documentary was sloppy, the intentions could be misread because it was done in bad taste, I sympathize with zls and her struggles, this is another reason as to why I was so confused with this documentary weird tones. She could even be a victim of the same exploitation we are criticizing about the documentary. Camera shoved in your face right after ... like ?? There is a narrative here that did not feel authentic. People felt it and by ethics there was a lot of questioning about the work. Her personal struggles do not negate poor ethics behind this piece of work, we can come across as self-centered by not meaning to do so. its life and we have to be willing to accept critics

do you think we have no life to do so , People like me or those who agree with me must be bots because our stance is different, dont you think its simple minded and more bot behaviour from you

and To say that we shouldn’t say anything if we have nothing good to say is ignorant. This world was built and advanced through criticism. We have built better morals and more equality because we dared to criticize and question, instead of constantly conforming under the pretense of being nice. I hope you develop better critical judgment

I mean no offense to you, but I can tell that you did not understand me here at least not the message I’m trying to convey. And I’m sorry, but the world is not as simple-minded as you make it seem. We do not accept things solely because we are “needy.”
Exploitation Even when wrapped in good deeds, is still exploitation. Ethical engagement means centering the dignity, autonomy, and voices of the people you’re helping, not just using them for content or image-building. When a wealthy or powerful person does something “good” with exploitative undertones, we must ask who benefits the most and how. Intent doesn’t erase harm, especially if the method reinforces power imbalances or stereotypes.

Doing “something” isn’t always better than doing nothing, especially if that “something” deepens inequality or commodifies others’ suffering. If she truly wanted to help, there are ethical ways to do it ways that don’t put her at the center of a narrative about other people’s hardship.

The documentary was rightfully insensitive and could be misinterpreted, even if it wasn't ZLS's intention. As an African girl, I found the savior tone and the documentary to be weirdly egocentric. It is very common for people to visit my country and do the same thing, even if their intentions aren’t necessarily bad. There is a voyeuristic and false heroic tone to it. I am glad Chinese netizens found it weirdly exploitative. It is necessary; it signifies that the world is changing and has a more layered way to engage with poorer communities and can be critical towards celebrities. I hope ZLS learned from it and grows from it.I hope other networks understand they cant do this anymore, we are done with money milking exploitative work

i hope editor continues to do her work and ignores the comments. it is important news and the article is necessary with a good critical none hateful tone. MDL is just infested with young fans who take stanning to a whole new level. Yall level of worship does not stop the earth from rotating , people can and will still do their jobs. get over it

i am totally heartbroken
rip legend 💔.

coming back to this to say rip Barbie hsu .You are a big part of my childhood and mars is timeless . thank you for everything

I was just saying this compared with the other 2 currently airing . it’s not a negative comment

yup .
unfortunately, it is quite noticeable as he is not selling the role at all . I think the character was a bit toned down to allow him to stay in his comfort zone .

this makes me so happy
thx

interesting to know

I only have 1 account stop projecting your paranoia on me . I am not the friend of crazies in parasocial relationships with actors ok

what is tbl and tgotd ?

so gotd is doing well ? gladddd I heard it didn’t live to the expectations at first

I know this drama is struggling internationally because international fans are more into dramatic xianxias. it is unfortunate because it is truly the best thing airing right now . the story , production & cast are all amazing BUT I wanted to know if it is still performing strongly in China ?? Chinese audiences are harsher and I do care more about their opinions and ratings
