Trouble-chan

Youtube have it - each episode is in parts, so it'll take a while to watch, but is subbed.

No, but I think there's BL cuts - where the video's made to show more a BL vibe - on Youtube.

Netflix could work with Taiwan and Taiwanese actors.

HIStory is NOT 'underground' and nor are the series, of which there are many, 'low quality and not worth mentioning'. I think you need to start watching Taiwanese LGBT dramas and movies again. They're really good.

Yeah, China was outraged at Taiwan legalising gay marriage just as they outlawed the LGBT community in China. But good on Taiwan for flipping the bird to the dictatorship in China.

Not sure how you come to that idea for Taiwan? Taiwan has legalised gay marriage, after a registration period to prove the relationship & cohabitation, but still, it's legal. China however has moved to make it illegal to be LGBT and even actively encourage friends and family to out their gay family members/friends to the authorities and then sign them up for 'conversion therapy' camps.

China has outlawed ANY LGBT entertainment, whereas Taiwan has openly encouraged the LGBT dramas like HIStory that usually have really acceptable and even happy endings for the gay couple.

So whilst the Chinese mainland is indeed reprehensible to the LGBT community, Taiwan is very open and accepting. Can't speak about HK because I don't know anyone living there. But I do know gay Taiwanese and gay Chinese couples...the latter are really suffering.

I think if the source material really isn't BL then it's fine and I'll watch. I just hate the butchering of BL novels for tv by censors. Thanks for the info! :)

This is very much like Doom at Your Service. Grim Reaper style immortal who loathes humanity and just comes to the world to mess with them. But it's fine if we don't agree, the world would be a boring place if we all thought the same. :)

So, basically, another version of Doom at your Service? Doom was excellent, not sure this will be as good though......

Just wanted to say as someone who's only just learnt to crochet basics (at 57, lol!) I love your little dancer doll. She's an absolute beauty.

Thank you for the review too. I will probably watch it as I loved Go Go Squid, but it'll be in my 'slow watcb - episodes when I get time and don't mind skipping some' list. So thanks again!

Is this adapted from a BL novel into a bro series? If so, i shan't bother because the stories are usually so butchered by the censors that its pointless. I think the drama writers should just write their own bro stories , adapt actual bro books, that the censors will adore and NOT chop up because of their bigoted mindset against anything LGB. It's a great shame to see such beloved novels butchered because of a cruel ideology by a controlling and psychologically sterile regime.

Same......I live in hope that one day it will be subbed. Thankfully someone's subbing the Thai version of Boss & Me, so there's always hope I think....

Really REALLY shocked the ever wonderful Kdrama Goblin wasn't on the list as it was (and is) so beloved and has a huge fanbase (including me) - it was a drama even my husband watched and he's not a fan of anything subtitled usually. Still the picks were interesting as was the voting - shows how much we dramaland addicts differ even as we all cling together in our little world of East Asian drama.

I'm rewatching 'Ode to Joy' I'm that desperate for a decent drama with starring in. Poor sod, and he's such a great actor too!

I woulldn't mind so much if China wasn't run by a dictatorship who has a human rights record that would make even Vlad the Impaler raise an eyebrow.

Still, as you say better than the usual 'aren't we wonderful' war dramas. I do think the one about how better off Hong Kong is under Chinese rule is VERY wrong though. Still, we're into November now (just) so hopefully this propaganda nightmare will end soon and we can get back to the romcoms and decent dramas.

HE is the only reason I would bother. I am so done with all this propaganda nonsense.

Don't expect to get anything even remotely believable, even if you squint with one eye shut. This is nothing but propaganda which they will fill with pro regime & pro party waffle.

It's all a bit too in your face for me - I mean ALL countries have their propaganda pieces (even mine - the UK), but they're a bit more subtle. Lately China's been really in your face and it's not even funny now. But, as you say, the quicker they're cranked out, the quicker we see the back of them!😂

Thank you. I think I'll pass on Cdramas for a month or so then, I cannot handle the propaganda (and that goes for anywhere). But again, thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, sounds like a 'look how much better HongKong is with China in control'.....quickly ignoring the native hongkongers struggling for freedom in the background. China's making a LOT of propaganda 'entertainment' (I use that word loosely) lately. Not good; always a sign of a regime who worries about losing control......
