Thoughts on China banning Palace dramas
IMO, another ban (or two) China should consider implementing:
1. The Lord of the Rings clone. My God, I can't seem to watch a good xanxia drama without encountering stuff lifted straight from Lord of the Rings (T&E, Ever Night, etc.). It's become such an eye roll every time I encounter a scene taken from LotR.
2. The subtle but annoying RoCH spoofs featuring LiMouchou/XLN clones. Biggest example is Three Lives, Three Worlds (Bai Qian/SuSu = XLN, Xuan Nu = LiMochou). Next example is Fights Break Sphere (Xiao Xun Er = XLN). If u see a maiden dressed in white, turquoise, or light pink ina xanxia production, high chance that char was lifted from RoCH.
