I think by now the series should be safe - it's already racing to the finish line on the chinese youku site right? Although wonder if the buzz from this will affect upcoming BL dramas like the one with Arthur Chen and Leo Luo - but presumably that production is prepared for the scrutiny since they seem to have promoted that one more. If only China could become more comfortable with its "soft power" exerted through its entertainment/arts industry instead of trying to control and clamp down on everything.
That's exactly what happened....your prediction came true. IDK of the accuracy of this information but apparently Immortality passed its first censorship before WOH aired. But they didn't immediately air because of some edits they had to complete. But because of the buzz created by WOH, the government strengthened the censors and apparently Immortality didn't manage to pass the second time. Wonder if it'll air at least this year......it's been 2 years since filming ended after all.
