Shang Yin

Really iam telling that iam about to cry the last 15th episode was unclear and this show got banned and the two actors are not allowed to see each other in public i dont know china is this much conservative and so poor in being open mined swear to god iam never going to see any bls from china China is the worst country that you can even ask for But wtever addicted is goodand didnt get the ending feeling sorry for you guys this show and its team deserved more than this but they are in China thats bad

This is everything I love in one single BL. I just couldn't stop watching it and I just LOVED the whole story, the characters, the romance, everything! It's so cute that made me want to throw up lol watch it guys!!

I went into this drama without realising that it was cancelled at episode 15 because the Chinese government thought that it was not suitable for consumption I am now sitting with tears in my eyes because I will never know how this BL ends and I'm not okay with that .. I wish I knew that it was cancelled before I watched it but what I have watched has been pure entertainment it's been one of my favourites so far and definitely deserves 10 out of 10 but I wish it had a proper ending because I'm very much unfulfilled.

This was an amazing show, especially for a web series (usually poor quality) the cast is great Xu Weizhou (Bai Lou yin) & Huang Jingyu (Gu Hai) have a great screen presence and a natural chemistry together which really helps to tell the story. It is a HUGE shame that the show was banned in China and that the actors are not allowed to be near each other all because it focuses around a gay love story which is very unfair as there is absolutely Nothing wrong with being gay, it's not a choice to be gay, you are born that way, why would anyone chose to be gay and put up with constant hatred and belittling being thrown at them 24/7 ?? Anyway apologies for the side tracking but China needs to lift the ban and accept everyone equally in their society and let these stories be shared because we need a season 2 of this show, it ended on an ENORMOUS cliff hanger and I need answers!! Come on people of China, please bring this show back.

Stories like Shang Yin need to be told, it's 2021 the world is changing for the better, there are plenty of BL series being made in Chinese now even on big streaming networks like Netflix. So please bring this back, even if you have to film outside of China to do it

I found this mini-series on imdb via "People who liked this also liked...". I looked it up on Wikipedia and it says "web series", so I guess the only way to watch this is on You-tube or related sites. I was a bit sceptical and did not expect much of it. However, I was very nicely surprised. First I have to say that neither Mandarin nor English is my native language and I had to make do with spoken Mandarin and rather poorly translated subtitles which disappeared very fast, so I may have missed many of the details of the dialogues. This series is almost exclusively about the rather special relationship between the handsome main characters Luo Yin and Gu Hai. They are related through Luo's mother and Gu's Father who, after both divorces, began a new relationship, but the lads do not know that. Luo is rather poor and Gu is wealthy. The two meet in school and in the beginning Gu is bullying Luo, but as the series proceed this stops and Gu gets more and more obsessed to Luo. It's an extraordinary combination of love and power. The constant attempts of Gu to conquer Luo and the sometimes faint resistances of Luo are very touching. The secondary characters are mostly decent as well, but Luo (Timmy Xu) en Gu (Johnny Huang) really make this series. It certainly has its downsides as well. Especially the music was a little inconvenient from time to time. Sometimes, for some reason I had to think of the computer game the Sims. Also, the frequent score of Brokeback Mountain was not in its place. Only the song of Twinbed in one of the final episodes was completely in its place. From time to time there were some scenes where I had a little doubts. Things like in class where Luo is sleeping constantly and the teacher doesn't say anything about it. But that did not bother me much at all. According to the info I have read on the internet this series has been cancelled and banned in China and the actors have been banned to do any future acting. This really is a sad fact and proves that there is still a lot of discrimination in the world. A few scenes were also censored (Can't understand why at all), but you can watch them separately on You-Tube. There are 15 episodes and I have enjoyed all of them. It has its flaws, but the main characters (and many other actors) are playing so well that I can easily forgive all of this. 8/10 for this unique series.
