this show had a great premise and really strong start - especially since it focused on Hao's mental health and how none of his family members could see his struggle because he was the "good boy" in class. It's after his cousin's arrival that things start to change, because his cousin Jiashu sees that something's really wrong with Hao and decides to help him get better mentally.
Obviously, for this kind of storyline, you need lots of emotionally intimate scenes between both cousins - however, after the first few episodes, it was all cut from the series and it made for a very choppy editing :( so many scenes between Hao and Jiashu was cut, and it's ridiculous?? I mean, they're cousins!! this was a totally family-based drama, so they didn't have to censor it in such a way. If certain fans are going to such an extreme to even ship family members, that's the fans' fault. They shouldn't punish the entire audience for it! The censoring literally stole the essence of the show, and we don't get to see the bulk of the progress between Hao and Jiashu, instead focusing only on the He family and the viallge's dragon boat racing drama. It's such a shame, because it started really well, only for the showrunners to fumble it in the middle.
