Why?Isn't the quality of the end in terms of writing, logic, flow, and whether it makes sense or not should be…
>There are lots of people (maybe even the majority) who place disproprtional importance to the end.
1. The international markets are not a priority. 2. If they managed to get Koreans to watch the last episode, then the ad revenue is already a done deal, their opinions after the fact don't matter very much. 3. Most people are not as butthurt over botched endings as I am. 4. The writers during live writing tend to be extremely overworked.. (fatigue + lack of motivation for the final episode)

As for Atypical Family, I think they have kind of a black humor / healing thing going on, ending it with one of them dying would be objectively bad. It's not just my strong dislike of bad endings talking.
I don't remember anything in the OG series that'd rly need to be 'censored' by Chinese standards, maybe nozaki…
As I said a normal human cannot even imagine what the censors can find an issue with and they ALWAYS have some "constructive" criticism to show they are doing work. That's why almost all Chinese dramas have some strangely out place of dialog here and there, at times when the characters don't even move their lips on screen.

>this is the type of attitude that make writers sometimes solve things in the most awful way in just 15 mins just to make it a happy ending.
They do that, because the writing quality of the final episode has no commercial relevance, so there is no incentive to do a good job. (and the penultimate episode ending with a cliffy does have a measurable effect on viewership)
It's been good so far, but I fear for the final episodes. I will certainly downrate the drama to oblivion, if they make it a sad ending after all this.
Passing censorship is very hard & sometimes the holdup happens due to arbitrary or crazy reasons, beyond just ideological ghosts.
Iqiyi changing the status to "coming soon" probably means the censors are done, but the actors/voice actors still have to go back to the studio to record some adjusted dialog, once that's done iqiyi needs to insert it into their schedule. So this could still take months.
When it comes to cdramas it's really ill advised to be too hyped about upcoming releases, because there is no certainty until you can literally watch the first episode.
But I think it will be unlikely - I think it aligns with the 34-1, 35-1 theory I saw being mentioned before +…
I think that won't happen & I'm of the opinion that time travel explanations rarely satisfy the audience, keeping us guessing is better than breaking the immersion trying to explain the unexplainable.
1. In the first couple of minutes they wrap up the villain plot & then we get 40-50 mins of fluff & I get to write a 9.0 review. (worst case scenario they'll spend 20 minutes to explain the villain in a long flashback)
2. They'll shoehorn in more timetravel making the final episode a mess, giving us a 5 second happy ending, this will lead to me writing a 8.0 review
3. Sad ending. 3/10 review.
Of course 1. seems very likely & I wouldn't expect any of the big questions explained in that case, but that's fine, because I think untangling those would ruin the story. What causes me concern that this is one of the rare cases of a kdrama script being written very seriously over the course of a long time, so it's entirely possible the writer would want to go out with a -well planned- bang..
15 kg is not possible in 2 months, maybe 5 kg, but most of that is probably water loss, dehydration. Nobody is…
> 15 kg is like losing 250 grams per day.
That's right, that's very doable for a determined guy of his age, not for a woman though. (intense, very well planned workouts every day & a stringent, but well planned healthy diet)
I don't really understand what you mean. 15kg over the course of 2 months is pretty okay for a man with an intense…
It can be done in a healthy way, though this is one of those things where the difference between genders does matter as well. It's MUCH easier for guys to do this without starving themselves, or doing anything too crazy. Admittedly it's very hard work if health is a priority.
