Meet me at the pride parades in China

(╭☞•́⍛•̀)╭☞ Disclaimer:
This review is not meant to change your opinion nor discourage/encourage you to watch, it's simply my personal opinion and you're free to agree/disagree with it.

Damn it's been a hot minute since I typed this disclaimer but hey it's not about me here it's about the series.
Let me preface this review by saying I'm not going to actually review this series yet, mainly because my opinion of this drama is highly influenced by the social and political significance this series holds regarding the lgbtq+ community in china and the loopholes the company/creators had to go through in order to come out with this drama, so for now, this "review" isn't going to be my actual thoughts on this drama as a drama.
Now, some of you might be confused about my overall rating not matching the rating for the different sections in this review, and I can tell you there's a legitimate excuse for this, and that being that this is the first explicitly lgbtq+ chinese content we've had in years. I'm sure many will find my reasoning for this rating very superficial/illogical, but I've mentioned this in a comment before and I'll say it here again, this isn't about the series anymore, this is about the chinese lgbtq+ community finally getting something after years of being oppressed and deprived of representation in their own media. This series is by no means an Emmy worthy project, but it's hopefully the first of many future stepping stones for the chinese entertainment industry. Throughout the years, we've had some pretty dang good shows/movies coming out in this genre, but the number of chinese lgbtq+ series has dwindled down to almost 0 no thanks to the dreadful ban, and the magic of the wuxia/xianxia genre has sorely been missed in these productions, so to see a chinese gay costume drama after all these years (irregardless of the fact that this is co produced by multiple countries) has basically been the highlight of my media consumption this year, after all, we all need to start somewhere, the start most definitely isn't perfect, but at least it's a start and the writing and acting in future projects will definitely improve as more companies start taking up such projects (keeping my fingers crossed we'll get more in the future) so yeah, until more projects come out, my rating for this drama will remain high, I'll come back to edit this review to include my actual thoughts on this drama once more shows/movies come out (again, really clinging onto hope here).
Before I conclude my little rant, I would like to add something. As I had stated in my disclaimer above, this review is not meant to sway your opinion, you absolutely don't have to take it to face value, but if you encounter any reviewer overly praising this show, I would hope you would keep these points I've listed above in mind for the time being.
And with that, I rest my case, I hope my review doesn't come off as pressuring or nonsensical for any viewer who genuinely didn't or don't enjoy this series (I'm most certain your reasons are valid because quite frankly, this series has been walking on reeaally thin ice plot/acting wise, not to mention all the non con/dub con and thinly veiled toxicity it contains) and as for those who actually like this series, I hope your further endeavours in the genre continue to be joyful.
Enjoy your watch and have a lovely day/evening everyone <3
