More on Meteor Shower...

[uisceros]

With the release of the preview for Meteor Shower (aka Mainland China HYD), I've been getting more and more excited about it. I can't say why, exactly. It's not like I'm a huge fan of cdramas. I think it's just because HYD has always been one of my favorite stories. The anime is still my favorite anime ever (tied with Escaflowne).

Anyway, a couple things;


Hao Ming looks better in action that he does in pictures. ALSO his hair is about three thousand times better here. His motions are very Rui-esque to me.


Yeah. I still find Zhang Han really hot. He's also apparently super talented. He went to a VERY prestigious acting school. Same one Zhang Zi Yi went to!

It has to be at least partially communist, because in mainland all tv has to be approved by the government before it get aired. I'm not saying it will be anything like North Korean TV, but it will have to represent ideals that are looked upon favorably by the government.

I'll take your word on that, since I have very little experience with cdramas.

Like I said before, I do not believe this show is being made to try to promote Maoism to the world, I'm just saying what I have read from several articles on the matter.

Hehe, sounds like a fun time... So I guess what the government wants is nothing that is explicitly against communist values?

I think, for me at least, my interest in Meteor Shower is mostly to see the differences between each culture's interpretation. I just assumed, from what I had read, that the government would have changed it. I'm still interested in seeing how mainland views the story though.

Oh, no worries! I think it's always important to hear different views, and to learn new things. I understand how you'd get annoyed, and I do know I at least make assumptions because of western media's view on mainland. I am trying to learn more though, so that I am less influenced by things. Course my view on mainland is also skewed by the fact that my country of obsession in Taiwan.
