How is China with the whole cencorship thing regarding cross dressing? I haven't read the novel yet, but it seems the ML spent much of his life living as a woman, but will China allow that to air? I suppose it won't be a big deal if they make it similar to Love in the Clouds, but if for half the story, the ML is pretending to be a woman, will China still allow that?
🗓️ Hou Minghao’s schedule for November 2025:11.01 — ad shooting & brand livestream 11.02 — ad shooting11.03…
Thank you so much for sharing this!!! He's doing so much this month, I'm happy for his career, but at the same time, he's getting like 2 days of rest 😭
HouMinghao has won the lawsuit against a Weibo user for insults and defamation. https://x.com/archivesneo/status/1983889047123849235?t=kQddQk5Vx13ZsKSzMbfm-g&s=19https://weibo.com/7845560949/QbyMoalZQNb.…
The Weibo users who launched the malicious attacks (including insults and defamation) have been fined according to the law. Hou Minghao granted them a 6-month deferral of payment due to their financial situation.
Ep 25Finally!! Ji Bozai - what a lousy detective - figured out her true identity… for the past 2 eps it was…
Why should Ji Bozai feel any remorse? Ming Yi lied to him and tried to steal one of the last things his master gave him, yet instead of hurting her, he decided to let her go. It wasn't his fault that she got poisoned, it wasn't his fault that 27 sacrificed himself, and at the end of the day, the Golden Millet Dream is his, and he doesn't owe it to anyone. Even if he knew about the poison, that doesn't change anything. He is not obligated to give it to her, especially considering that he had given her many opportunities, yet she continued lying to him.
There's more to this, I can tell you the rest if you want, but they're spoilers.
There is a thing, the costume and accessories in the first half of the show were better and more beautiful than…
Maybe, but the costumes in the second half of the drama also reflected who the characters really were.
During the first half of the drama, Ji Bozai and Ming Yi were all hiding who they truly were:
- Ji Bozai was pretending to be a "frivolous playboy", hence why he wore coquettish clothing with a low cut, but in reality, he has his own ambitions, and he is also extremely loyal (you can even see how Ji Bozai changed his style of clothing after promising to remain loyal to Ming Yi), and would do anything for the people he loved.
- Ming Yi was pretending to be a simple dancer who was madly in love with Ji Bozai, hence why she had fancy jewellery and clothes, but in reality, she is nothing like that. She's almost a bit tomboyish, raised to be a "war god/dess", and you could tell how unlike many of the other fairies, she didn't care much about her appearance and dressing up to look pretty; instead, I would argue, based on her hair and outfits, she dressed more for practicality and necessity.
In my opinion, the costumes from the first half of the drama reflected and helped craft the characters' fake personas, while the outfits from the second half of the drama showed the characters' true selves.
I wish the best of luck to Ai Mi. I don't know if it was her agency or family that forced her into this, or something else, but I hope that everything went well and that she's fine.
Guys, can we please work together to add a new topic in the "Recent Discussions" detailing the castings, the age gap, the maturity of the drama, and why everything is the way it is?
The new viewers deserve to know the full story, so we can just explain everything there.
And let's be fr, there's so much that happened behind the scenes that we don't even know about; maybe the actors aren't even comfortable with this, maybe they were forced into this, maybe they tried really hard to stop this from happening..... ⬆️ People really need to think deeper. The entertainment industry is not that simple; rarely are the stars the ones with the power.
Not all of his songs are released under his official channel; I believe that a few of his older songs (eg 脸谱，启明星 ...) are only released officially on Chinese music platforms.
You also can't find "If your world has no warm sunlight" under his official YouTube Music channel, so you would just have to search up separately, but it should be the first one that shows up, with "侯明昊" as the artist.
Please leave a high rating for the drama as well as each episode if you've enjoyed them, and please also remember to leave a positive review!!
⬆️ This applies to any platform, MDL, IMDB, TMDB, Netflix, Dou ban & various other Chinese platforms (it does get a bit hectic there, so do so at your own risk 🙏)
Please listen to Hou Minghao's song from Love in the Clouds original soundtrack, let's try to get this song to be the most popular/most listened to song from Love in the Clouds ost, and do his amazing vocals justice:
Song title (English): If your world has no warm sunlight Song title (Chinese): 若你的世界没有暖阳
1. Around when should we expect an official announcement?
2. What are his other rumored dramas that could be true?
3. Does anyone know what the character he might be playing is like? If yes, please give us a short summary.
4. Is the drama/novel more ML (meaning the character he might be playing) centric or FL centric, or does it just focus on the trio as a whole?
He's doing so much this month, I'm happy for his career, but at the same time, he's getting like 2 days of rest 😭
There's more to this, I can tell you the rest if you want, but they're spoilers.
