OMG this is one of my favourite Chinese novels. There was speculation the drama adaptation would never be released because the original novel is BL but they set it free. I’m so happy 😭.
Drama adaptation of Priest’s BL novel #MoDu, #JusticeIntheDark (Abyss), starring Zhang Xincheng & Fu Xinbo, makes a surprise premiere on Youku with 8 episodes available for VIPs #光渊pic.twitter.com/YR3Q2IjSji
I was waiting for it because of Zhang Xincheng (Steven)!! I’m so happy it’s been freed!! XD
Though there might be a lot of changes compared to the original novel because of censorship issues and stuff ><
(Reason why I held back from reading it, at least I have no expectations 😅)
Zhang Xincheng is definitely the other reason I’m excited about this! I’m hearing rumblings about a lot of changes from the novel but I’ll stay hopeful 🙏.
I have now watched the first episode and loved it!
Obviously I can’t tell how faithful it was to the original (aside from the fact that they changed all the name for some reason xD) but as a viewer (and zxc fan) I was satisfied! ^^
Hope many people will be able to enjoy it tbh, even fans of the novel..fair criticism is ok, but when it comes to cnetz they can get pretty aggressive, and I’d rather not see too much of that 😅
OMG!! I never thought this day would come! This is so exciting!!
Not sure how much is edited though. I haven’t read the book. I will wait for a few episodes to open up for non VIP users on Youku and then start!
Thanks for sharing this news!

Oh yeah I stay away from cnetz’ opinions for my own sanity 😅. Glad you liked the first episode!

I was convinced it was shelved forever! I think a lot of the danmei adaptations are now hopeful of release, which is good news for drama watchers!
