i wrote an essay because i have feels

I would like to change my thoughts about this hug. (previous thoughts here) I’ve been listening to a livestream about WOH concert from an expert from the field of entertainment, endorsements and psychology as well as dealing with censorship. I very much trust her judgement about this, and I found her argument very persuasive and logical. I think sometimes when I read a lot of social media it’s very easy to believe in what the majority of people are saying, and thereby ignore the obvious or what is real. (I think at some point I will have to spend time and sit down and take notes from her hours and hours of livestream, so that I can help share the answer to “How did this pass censorship??”) (I also think most people talking about censorship in China don’t know how it actually works, including me, so I’m learning as I go)

Please stick with me through this long post, so that I can explain to you why I now feel this hug is at its essence this

ZHANG ZHEHAN x OK!

The Original Take - Ep 27 | Zhou Zishu laid on Wen Kexing’s shoulder for the initial shot, this was the take that Zhang Zhehan said was too gay and they had to tone it down despite him thinking it was a really good one

We also didn’t have that lone tear dropping from Wen Kexing’s eye in the final cut

Or that little smile at the end at the thought of Zhou Zishu willing to die with him right now

post-finale stuff

Possible spoilers. Beware

Last night, I happened to check the scriptwriter’s Weibo and saw that she had liked this fan’s post. It’s the only non-work related Weibo post that she had liked, so of course, I went to read it. 

The fact that this is the only fan post she’s given her approval to must mean that it is on point and she agrees with the characterisation. I thought it’s pretty good, so I’ve gone ahead to translate it here. I own 0 rights to this. I just thought it’s a good perspective that may help others like me who struggled with the ending. 

I think I’ve mostly made my peace with it now, and to sum it up:

Just because someone doesn’t love you the way you want them to doesn’t mean they don’t love you with all that they are. 

A-Xu never once blamed Lao Wen for how things turned out because he understood that. And he’s clearly a better person than I am (lol).

Let me be clear about my stand - the real victim of how the drama unfolded in the last six episodes is WKX. When we feel our hearts ache for ZZS, it’s because the show let down WKX (the character). If your heart is only hurting for WKX during episodes 33-34, you should try to ship WKX with someone else, ok? If you think the last six episodes were great and that WKX was very romantic (and only romantic), then I honestly don’t know what to say. 

I ship wenzhou. That means I like both Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu. I want them to love each other, be good to each other and live happily ever after. And I want them not to be OOC. 

The rest behind the cut. Spoilers for the whole drama.
