listen i totally get that censorship limited and watered down cql but sometimes i also wonder if it was simply just censorship or if the director didn't want to make it gay either. because whenever i rewatch shl i just wonder if like...did cql get double censored bec of the board and because of the director? like did the director even try to include gay scenes other than pining gazes?
Well, there's a lot of tricky issues with how both were able to be produced and through what companies. TenCent is notorious for washing a lot of properties to be more "palatable". Gotta thank my obsession for Love Nikki with learning about TenCent messes. Mo Dao Zu Shi was also already just wildly popular to begin with and I am more than apt to believe TenCent was ready to straightwash it all before fan backlash from early leaks. Since Youku produced SHL it was smaller and more "under the radar" given TenCent had just produced another of Priest's works with You Fei that was very typically wuxia G/B romance and hugely popular as a book. So Youku was able to sort of slide in more homoerotic tension and overt romance while the limelight wasn't on them for major scrutiny.
Personally for me, the CQL director just did the bare minimum to get away with not getting skewered by the fanbase since in interviews he knew exactly what he was doing when it came to the source material and was pretty damn fine talking about it all behind the scenes with no payoff in the actual product to show. I think most of what was even given in CQL laid more on Xiao Zhan and Wang Yibo and their acting over the writing since, wow, the writing really tried to press "Zhi ji" as bestie best buds with no actual tongue in cheek humor like SHL.
Only thing I can really say is, don't expect much when it comes to danmei adaptions that are produced under TenCent. Sometimes when it comes to Chinese media, smaller is better to avoid major scrutiny to have more wiggle room.

hey i'm always harassing you about flaming heart but wtf???? it ended??? and it was so funny and cute????????
like if my boyfriend pulled a stunt like faking amnesia after a coma he would be single at the speed of light lmao
btw what were those wedding pictures???? like all the hetero couples and then THEM... our two "bros"? what???? and then he went in the ambulance TO DRIVE? with his doctor riding shotgun???? LMAOOOO I CAN'T i love this, this isn't even subtext this is glossed over canon
and the wedding dress. amy santiago style.
im fucking rewatCHING I-
I'M SO SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO REPLY! you know how it goes, you read something, reply in your head and then convince yourself you actually replied...
but gosh they really did that fake amnesia thing just because can u even call it a cdrama if there isn't an amnesia arc???? it's so silly sigh, i already saw someone mention he was faking it before the ep so i was Prepared. but it's so dumb sigh...
honestly!! they just didn't even try too hard to make it #nohomo. when i found that kabedon picture of lyl and jy, and i saw it was posted alongside pictures of all the het couples, someone mentioned this is just a thing youku does? pairing up two dudes with insane chemistry and just go haha besties :D no context.
i'm still obsessed with that scene where the firefighters all talking about their doctor gfs, and lyl just goes do you know who's close to a doctor? ME! Nobody is closer to a doctor than ME. Ji Yuan and I are closer than ANYONE ELSE EVER! he's my BEST FRIEND! the FREINDSHIP between MEN-
ALSO THE FREAKING TRIPLE KARAOKE DATE!! there's just so much with these two... i swear the only way they tried to make it less obvious is by cutting off their scenes at weird moments and giving them barely any context.
i wanna rewatch but only for lyl and jy i miss them so much already...
