What I love about is that it shows countries around the world working together with China to defeat this threat. They are all equals in this conflict. There was a conversation between our main lead with one of the leaders of a European nation which I found moving. It showed that they were both humans with loved ones to protect.
I have real worries that Netflix adaptation would forgo this cooperative element and paint some countries as baddies.

@liztai waait are you talking about the show? Only realised after seeing your post that there's a #CDrama out that's different from the English one, as well as the fact that the English one is beings done by Netflix 😅

I've read the books, which were awesome (+ the translation to English was well done, with footnotes pointing out some nuances that couldn't be directly translated). I'm guessing from your posts that the (c-drama) show is worth it too?

@badri very worth it and would probably be a much adaptation than the Netflix one. After watching the Netflix teaser, my heart dropped. It lacked the subtlety, pathos and intricacies of the Cdrama adaptation and will prob never get there. It's hard to translate the cultural touches to a western adaptation and would most likely be watered down or bulldozed over.

@liztai hmm, I haven't seen this teaser specifically but I can totally see that happening. Well, I guess this becomes my first ever Cdrama! 🙃

@badri I am not sure where you are based, but you can watch it via the iQiyi app or Viki, I believe. Hope u enjoy it. It starts pretty slow but I find it very immersive.

Edit - Wetv app, not iQiyi 😅

@liztai ooh I found it! (I'm in India)

Depends on my mood, but in that case I will keep it for when I want something relaxed and absorbing 🙂

@badri haha relaxing it isn't, but you need to be patient with the first 10 eps for sure. The horror slowly builds up.

@liztai well by the time it builds up I'll be in the mood anyway 😉
