I am really curious as for why China is so strict with censorship rules when it comes to dramas but it isn't such of a big deal with things such as the books.
The Untamed has been censored quite a lot to the point where it is only just barely noticeable on the surface that it is a BL. When you compare the drama to the book you can see that the books were a lot more in "dept" and someone who has read the books would understand how I mean it.
I would just really like to know why China is okay with showing BL relationships very openly in novels and books but it isn't acceptable on television. There is just such a big gap of difference between the two.
I'm not asking China to completely change their rules and have a bunch of skin ship between the actors, but I would atleast like to be able to watch a drama and be able to see that it is a BL and not a "bromance" as they would call it.
I knew that it was Cheng Yi but I meant more as the male lead characters personality, looks, composure, etc, from Immortal Samsara. I guess I should have been a little more specifc when writing the comment.
Although Yanyue does look quite a lot like Cheng Yi to be honest.
Does anyone know whether this drama is going to air fully on youtube as well. Although it says that there are free episodes airing based on the calendar I'm not sure whether that is on the official website or if it's on youtube.
I've only seen two episodes of the drama so far because I have been watching it from youtube but Yanyue reminds me so much of the male lead in Immortal Samsara ( can't remember his name right now since it's been a while ), in a way that I don't know whether I like or not.
When I had finished Bad Buddy and got news about the spin-off for Our Skyy 2, I had thought that we would be able to see what happens after Pran and Pat graduate from university and what happens after that.
Bad Buddy had orginally ended with a time skip to when they had all gotten older with jobs, so I thought that Our Skyy 2 would show more about how they talk to their parents and open up about their relationship, considering that they had continued to hide it this whole time.
So when I watched today's episode and saw that it was going back to their university days. I was somewhat disappointed. I am really happy that I can see Pran and Pat on the screens again but this wasn't what I had expected or had in mind about the spin-off.
Could someone please explain the controversy between Ohm and Nanon. I have been seeing people talk about it everywhere and I just haven't been able to quite understand it because I only just watched Bad Buddy a while ago.
that's not true at all, no screenwriter write alone few eps, they already debunked that rumour. youku official…
Oh thanks for letting me know. i had thought that it was real. But there really has got to be a reason behind why there was such a sudden change in the story.
Yanhui and Tianyao have a misunderstanding going on because of him stabbing her to get the Heart Protecting Scale. When do the two of them make and when does Yanhui finally see his intentions?
I have finally understood why the course of the story changed so drastically after the first 15 episodes. Turns out that Youku had a screenwriter from the beginning that wrote the first 15 episodes, but Youku was dissatisfied with the work produced and chose to hire another screenwriter for the rest of the episodes.
The second screenwriter that later came also made certain adjustments to what the previous writer had written. So characters such as Bai Xiao Sheng wouldn't have even existed if the screenwriter hadn't changed.
This finally explains why there was such a change in the story, it's because they were written by two completely different people.
Edit: Turns out that the "two screenwriter situation" has been proved to be fake. Ignore everything I wrote before.
I love the small references to previous bls they made during the mv shooting scene. I don't know whether it was intentional or not but I was loving it.
Win and Sound in the mv felt like Bad Buddy and Por and Twison was giving A Tale of a Thousand Stars. The only one I just couldn't connect together was the one with Gun and Tin.
Does anyone know what drama they referenced to for Gun and Tin?
The bgm's in this drama are just crazy, I'm only just 4 eps into the drama and I'm just in love with it.
Youku might not have the highest budget or production compared to other more popular networks but they really know how to serve a drama with the right bgm.
One thing I have noticed in 99% of all chinese historical dramas is the fact that the immortals are always called the good people who help everyone and get rid of evil. When in reality most of the immortals are just a bunch of assholes.
