Yup, turning evil is definitely a boon for the hair! Look at that volume! It may even have given Bingzhu a cuirass, which is sorely needed in a world where _eating people's hearts_ seems to be a major folk sport.
Also, actor I Usually Start As A Cutiepie has finally flipped.

Looks like my payment to iQiyi lapsed due to A Very Large Inheritance*. It'll take a few days to sort out, and until then I only have 360p solution. Not good for embroidery watching, so I'll save the last episode for later. Tonight I'll make do with this grainy soup, and then I'll comment on the 1997 A Chinese Ghost Story donghua for a while.
(*Sounds like an awesome thing to get but... well, I'll explain in another thread tomorrow.)
The first person who makes an inflatable version of that large tent will have my undying gratitude and _all_ my pretendollars.
Black coding exists in C-drama too, and works roughly like in Western fiction. I assume there's a discussion around it in China too, especially since this character is unusually wholesome. He's on the evil side since he's part of the xianxia stooges, but he's the only one who doesn't [bleeeep, bnöööööp, screeeech]* and about whom I'd say
"Girl! Just take a bonus husband! They're good for getting down things from high places."

Hm. Those are actual chains the actors interact with - I've chacked several times. Given how hard it is to fully escape green edges, this is probably more than painting the links the right colour and 100% rely on green screen magic. I know too little about movie effects to be sure, but I have a feeling I should be imoressed.
One of the reasons I watch C-drama is that I won't stumble upon Absolutely Not Christianity With A Paintjob Honest! religions. Of course, instead I have to put up with Absolutely Not Chinese Religion With A Paintjob, but that is usually easier.
