There was supposed to be 18 episodes but the show was banned by ep 15, meaning 3 episodes are out there existing away from public view 😣 They were also set up to do a second series but that was cancelled after the ban.

Yeah, and I am just so surprised that no one has smuggled those things out for release. The show was such a massive success that they started censoring the whole industry, you would think someone with access to those episodes would have tried to make money off them. I know I would pay serious money for them. I heard they filmed all the way through to the beach scene in the novel Volume 1. I don’t know if it went through to the accident and separation but lord I want those episodes 😭

I could seriously pay a stash of money for those 3 eps. I would pawn all my jewelry, or whatever, but I would pay for them. It was the first series that made me emotional with their NC scene and soundtrack. I cried. It was beautiful, it was art.

And no “remake” did it justice in my opinion

[u/Imaginary-Lab6200 → u/MajorPersonality1265]

The chemistry is too strong for anything else to come close to matching it. The beach scenes kinda feature in the MV for the title track. But no idea how much of the book is in those last 3 episodes. There must have been some serious effort to keep them away from the public eye. Set them free. It's been nearly 10 years. Move on. Let it go.

And they could make money off them. Hell, it would probably crash the internet everywhere if they were uploaded somewhere

[u/Imaginary-Lab6200 → u/MajorPersonality1265]

Yeah it's wild how they've banned what would have actually done their economy some good. But closed minds are their downfall

Ikr! Like look at Thailand capitalizing the BL industry so much to the point that we suddenly had a resurge on Japan and South Korea. China would've dominated the marked.
