geechoo

the ones they've dropped on streaming sites unannounced are usually webdramas. this drama was filmed for tv broadcast. I wonder if it won't happen now :/ webdramas don't reach as wide an audience as tv.

it dropped randomly on youku streaming site without any promo wtf is this still going to be aired on tv? it'd be a shame if it just got dumped like this

this is standard cdrama cgi lol it's one of the reasons I rarely watch Xian Xia. the bad cgi always takes me out.

if I treat this drama as a tragedy, then it gets a 9/10 from me. however, if I treat it as a romance, then it gets a 5/10 lol LCY is the absolute worst male lead ever and I cannot understand anyone that tries to romanticize him. he's an antagonist imo.

it's the hair, I think. he has a long face so he doesn't suit long hair. he looks better with his hair up like in GMP.

this summer has been pretty bland for cdramas so far. only love like a galaxy has aired so far and I find that one boring so far. all the xian xias keep being rumored but don't have set release dates. this one looks more interesting than usual costume dramas and now it's gonna get edited even more.

same! most of his recent dramas are contemporary and this is the only costume drama one so I'm waiting for this

I liked Chen Xing Xu a lot in GMP but idk about his styling here.. he looks kind of weird.

it has the same production team but I don't think it's connected. the plot reminds me of an old cdrama I watched

his voice doesn't match his age at all lol he sounds too mature

so does part 2 air immediately after part 1?

but oath of love was just a romance melodrama.. is it comparable to this one which is being removed for political sensitivity

do they portray the japanese in a positive light or something? because there are soo many c-dramas and movies about that era. I don't understand why this drama is suffering so much

this drama was filmed.. 2 years ago?? jeez does the story talk bad about CCP or something? I can't understand why it's so hard to air

there was a chart posted on chinese sites about IQIYI's 2022 line-up. the earliest this can broadcast is Q4. although it hasn't passed censorship yet so we'll see.

homophobia? lmao this isn't bl. the reason it's being held up by the censorship board is because it deals with undercover cops. apparently CX's character is on drugs too while undercover. CCP is sensitive about anything that portrays government officials as bad guys.

why does it say part 1? when is part 2 airing?

I just noticed Netflix got added to the "where to watch" section above? it's on netflix?

the director is the one who did Mirror: A Tale of Twin Cities which is kind of making me hesistant but I will prob ending watching this for Chen Xiao

being rumored for Q4 (oct to dec)
