Hopefully we get a new trailer on the 21st, especially considering the first one was so early into production.

TLP would not have gotten the S+ treatment without a star like Xiao Zhan. Tencent wouldn't waste the money. Considering that the novel isn't popular at all, there was no audience for it.

And XZ certainly isn't going to prop up other people.

Some people look forward to both. Some dgaf about Immortal samsara.

And all dramas compete, even those on the same platform but especially when it is between production houses. As such, these two will as well.

It's still July according to what I see. I am hoping I am right negl, I can't wait 😂😂

July

I dropped Strong Woman DBS like a hot potato after around episode 5, even though everyone kept saying it was great. I hated it. In essence, I don't care about any potential losses if I have to force myself to watch to some, perhaps never to come, great point. Especially considering that I used to try and force it when I was younger and it pretty much never paid off. I won't drop something I am so-so about, in that case I FF.

So if I hate it around ep 5/6, then chances are I will continue to hate it so bye bye it is. Not enough time for enjoyment anyway so might as well maximize it.

That's a good thing actually. As others mentioned, it's about the limitations of those aired on TV and it's always a score when your drama is aired on a proper TV station, instead of staying a web drama. I am crossing my fingers here.

Yes. So almost done with the paperwork and summer broadcast seems very likely. When exactly, depends too on when some other shows will air. Tencent wants and needs this to do well.

No problem, I kept it as vague as possible because there is lots of info around that but basically that is what happens. Keep in mind that the novel was heavily altered but tbh, I think this will stay the same.

It is, fingers crossed. Everything says we shall suffer. Can't wait 🤣

Ok I am going to be delusional and imagine that XZ posing with the umbrella means YGY is on its way for this summer (it has passed both reviews so come on!) 🙏🤞

Ok so first about the accent. It's that different accents make it impossible for people from other areas to understand. So they demand standard Mandarin, which is accessible to everyone. In theory every self respecting actor should work on acquiring a good standard Mandarin but in reality many have used dubbing to even skip learning their lines. Today there is actually officially a push in China to get actors to speak their lines so hopefully this will improve. Anyway, both XZ and RM are a non issue but we shall see what happens with COVID.

Second, censored as in there is a number of themes that are forbidden in China. Dramas of military content have extra strict, additional rules but it's no walk in the park for the others either. So many things are forbidden, I have actually lost count. I just can't be bothered to remember any longer. From time travel, to transmigration (which is for example super common for Wuxias so they have to work around that) to things like speaking positively of Emperors etc. The list is massive. So yeah, it takes time but YGY has passed both reviews so it should be here around June/July.

Yes and no. In the novel he kills the wrong person so then she kills him. Then she brings him back to life. So it is a tragedy but then not. Definitely super angsty novel and supposedly the drama made it even worse. But if they follow that part of the plot, he doesn't stay dead.

Read below if you want to know.

Two reasons. One he is a massive star now. He is not going to waste his time on a tiny secondary character. He is way past that. Even if the role is enlarged, it is still nothing for him now as he is an established main male lead. Plus this is being written by Wang Juan and yeah.

Two, it's a hostile environment for him. He has been treated terribly. The black hs on weibo a while back just a culmination of it all.

Anyway, if the show is good quality, it will make it by itself, not to mention that considering how the fans of other cast members have been saying they don't want, or need, him in it, even here on MDL, it all works out for them. Good luck and all.

OOL did not air because it was blocked by Hunan, for well known reasons.

Where is the info about cutting anything in YGY? It certainly isn't available in China so why invent stuff?

He is not doing JOL 2, I have no idea why people keep bringing this up.

DC 2 is nowhere and the more time passes, the less likely it becomes he will return.

Sorry! The Longest Promise in English I believe. Shi Ying, the High Priest is almost here 😍

We shall see each other soon, ygy will be here before we know it. Then we shall cry buckets 💪

No, no fanwars, sorry to disappoint.

But again, as above, you seem desperate to reduce things to fans and stir trouble. I will leave you to it, though I hope you find better things to do in your life. This reeks of desperation 🤷
