iQiyi lost $1,4bn usd in 2019 and 2020 may be worse because advertising is really bad. VIPs pay to watch so they…
Yeah and you have to be careful with that. Like ExpressVPN which is the one I use doesn't have a China server so you actually cannot get into the China firewall. Actually I haven't found one that can get into China.

You are right. As much as I usually enjoy watching Allen Ren’s acting. In these first 2 episodes, his lines…
I like him a lot too but to my shock and horror it is my mama that is cyber stalking him!!! I know bc she shares my youtube account and it all comes up. .. Sigh - I just tell myself retirement must be boring to excuse her behavior...

I rarely ever drop any drama but I got to ep 34 on this one and i'm really considering giving up on it, at first…
It does pick up again after 40 but sounds like it may be too much a struggle for you to get there...

The Chinese version is cheaper than the international (about half the price) but it has streaming problems outside of China.

Sadly in Q1 although subscription revenue +30pct they lost about the same amount in ad revenue and bottom line loss was ~$300mm. They said Q2 ads still not recovering so probably will be similar hit on bottom line. We blame regulator all the time for drama delays but for things like the much anticipated The Wolf I suspect the platforms don't want to launch until they can get enough ad dollars behind it.

I think they all lose similar amounts of money but Alibaba and Tencent are able to hide the losses because their streaming business is not separately listed. But Baidu is better off selling iQiyi and Tencent and Alibaba/Youku are gonna both have to bid for it. Viewers eventually have to pay to watch so everytime I am upset I tell myself I am free-riding on billions of losses and I try not to complain so much - LOL! But I have VIP for Youku and iQiyi even though most of the time I don't have time to watch that fast but because I love drama I want to support and its cheap. I don't subscribe Tencent on principle bc I think their shows are more bad than good.

Wow they already uploaded 48 episode for vips but why ????
iQiyi lost $1,4bn usd in 2019 and 2020 may be worse because advertising is really bad. VIPs pay to watch so they get to watch first. It’s fair and truth is if not enough people pay eventually everyone goes bust and no more dramas....

this drama was filmed in 2018 before the new laws were released.
Heh... then we must surely watch at least one to see what the difference is... in the name of research of course!!!

The second male lead is the guy with white rob, right. why so many white rob guy in 'jianghu' worlds ?? I think…
Indeed but how many tech billionaire wannabes have we seen in the black turtleneck... Everything changes and yet everything remains the same!!! LOL!!!

Hmm, then maybe I'm giving it another chance... or considering doing so at least.Thanks for the update! :D
Do give it another look... if for nothing else, to see the other Ren Jialun! :)

Actually i like his hairstyle and character in this drama, he seem more friendly and happy. It help me to move…
Yes... I was taken aback at first but now its great.

Just started this. Is it supposed to be funny? Why does everyone including the usually sour face Allen Ren take…
There is attempted light humor but no, its a complicated somewhat dark story. Great fighting from the get go but the first two episodes just feel a bit off and then it comes together.

Lemme just say that even if they improvise, the only expression on the ML/FL face may be fear... I just think until there is a vaccine/cure probably best not to watch romance made after 2020...

It takes awhile to get used to a chatty Ren Jialun and the cast took awhile to get into character but by #4 it seems to be clicking. He is a very chatty dude in real life, I think I was just too used to seeing him as a silent type. I am happy to see him take on roles with different personalities. And he definitely gained weight but he wears it so well it is actually adorable! Loving the second male lead too, he has an interesting face. This story has quite dark undertones and is complicated, hope it doesn't get too convoluted. First two episodes were a bit on the weak side and definitely the love at first sight or whatever wasn't well done but it is worth watching a few before deciding to drop.

Is it the hairstyle or did Ren Jialun gain some weight? His face looks much less grumpy and sort of rounder here...

if you were to choose between this and the legend of Jinyan, which one would you watch?! which FML is less irritating…
Neither if you find both girls irritating...

Huh? You cried? For me, it scared the shit out of me in the first few episodes. I'm such a scaredy-cat. Despite…
LOL.... you are a subversive element that is gonna get me killed dead!!!

I feel Tou and Xue Zhi has opposite character development. I like Tou in the beginning, but he gets nonsense as…
Yeah ultimately they didn't have a great, well thought out script here and per @Madison Phan below the director was probably sloppy. I wish they just re-make some of the classics instead of wasting time and money on these half baked stories...
The guy in LL2M is just a plank.
