I want to clarify that this isn't a Chinese drama. While it has Chinese actors and is based on a danmei novel…
It's okay, we all get a bit heated in the moment but you're right that some novels might not be the best choice for adaptation due to their troubling elements., this is probably the best they could do due to the low budget I guess. I think it would have been much better if they had changed the rape scene into an angry but consensual sex scene. That kind of adjustment could have made the story more acceptable
is this a chinese series with thai subs? or what is it? It has chinese actors acting and chinese character names…
It is invested, produced and distributed by a Thai company, directed by a director from Taiwan, China, and jointly produced by the art and costume team of mainland China.
I want to clarify that this isn't a Chinese drama. While it has Chinese actors and is based on a danmei novel with some Chinese involvement, it's directed by a Taiwanese director and produced by a Thai company. However agreeing with the ban on LGBTQ+ content because of one problematic show is going too far. These bans contribute to ongoing discrimination, making it harder for LGBTQ+ individuals to find acceptance and visibility.
But yes, the scene you mentioned is problematic. It's worth noting that the series closely follows the novel, which has a controversial and problematic author.
The decision to use a service with limited regional availability seems odd, even if it’s due to sponsorship. Bible is a highly popular actor from BOC, so one would expect wider accessibility. BOC's lack of communication is frustrating.
here are a few lines from the main lead saying to the other
"I don't care if the whole world dies, I only care about you"
"If I win you should call me daddy"
"I will protect you till the end of my life"
"You are so adorable"
"I did not know what love was but then I met you"
"To me what we have is the realest thing ever"
"I don't want to live without you"
"I only want to live in the world you do"
