I am sorry if you feel under attack. However, what you said is not just "all" about how long it takes for a drama to get out - "..the Chinese censor board officials will go through each drama & movie with a fine-toothed comb and anything they deem subversive to the Chinese general public, they will demand be edited out of the drama." I was just pointing out that actually it is not fair and it is not like that and I am grateful it is not because otherwise WOH wouldn't have surprised everyone by how much it got away with. In all honesty it was intended to be a benign comment so I don't know how that could have turned into I am sugar coating censorship and I actually ignored all of the rest of your comments that can be considered "attacking China".

Funny thing about MangoTV is that it is the only one that makes money. Lots and lots of money. But I think it is because of the variety shows.

I never found her annoying. She has a little bit low EQ yes but she is loyal and brave.

I actually did not pass any judgement on whether the CCP's censorship rules are appropriate or not. But there is a lot of vitroil here directed at the censors themselves and I am pointing out they are just ordinary people, worker bees whose jobs are to enforce the rules, they don't make them.

Actually I have been told that many of these censors don't really ideologically subscribe to any of those guidelines either and some actually quite enjoy watching the dramas on a personal level. They are just doing their job and implementing the letter of the law but many don't go out of their way to over-interpret the guidelines either. That is why it is still possible for us to get a lot of the stuff that "sneaked into" this and other productions. But of course they are not going to let overt violations through but just looking at WOH, I would say the censors that worked on this one were pretty cool.

Sigh! She missed the biggest clue - Deng Kuan's kid was practicing WKS's martial arts moves. That's the whole point of showing us those moves in the bonus clip. By clear implication, WKS is still around bc that is not Four Seasons manor moves but WKS from his father.

This is a pretty good and much less long winded ending discussion:

No they are together at the end but it appears like one may have gave up his life to save the other. And then there is a bonus episode that hints that actually they both survived and became immortals. You have to put the clues together to decide whether its happy or not but it is heavily heavily implied it is happy.

Its on open happy ending which means it is heavily hinted that it was a happy ending but at surface it looks sad/open which is the best that can be done for BLs.

I know... I could never look at Vengo the same way anymore after that comment of his... And good on Dilraba.... now I am really worried for Ren Jialun...

Hope so... Slump is only small price to pay after watching a very good drama... :)

Yeah he definitely is bored with life and being immortal since his friend died has been lonely for him. He said he now understands he was meant to live that long to give the younger generation a chance. So I also think he sacrificed for them. RIP YBY, my favorite character.

Sadly I suspect that will be a long wait. It wasn't mentioned in Tencent's pipeline for 2Q - I am not talking about what is on the fan pages but what was just communicated to investors this week. Usually what they tell investors is much more accurate. So I hope it comes soon but I would be quite surprised.

Indeed. It is kind of an open ending but if you believe WKX and ZZS survived to become immortals, that is the only logical explanation. Otherwise the extra 7 mins makes no sense.

This actually took almost an hour bc ZZS is a bit difficult to analyse and I haven't gotten round to fixing the typos/grammar yet.
John Malkovich's Valmont is one of my all time favourite characters.

Heheh I saw traces of Brad Pitt from Interview with the Vampire as well... :)
I envy that you are still watching while I only have the suffering of inevitable slump to look forward to.

That was his father's name originally. He changed it to Zhen when he was adopted by the master of Immortal Physician Valley. After they banished him from the sect, he reverted to his original name. Thus Wen Kexing also continued to use Wen.

Oh wow, thank you I just added it to my PTW. What a spectacular cast!!! Idk if I will start it right away work has been very intense this year I may need to either watch something like that very slowly or over the summer when things slow down a bit.

I really hope so!!!

Ok so what am I gonna do with myself now that this is over? I see a giant ship called SLUMP headed straight at me...

So what do we think happened to Ye Baiyi?
