The Way Home (2024)

The drama got Censored after airing and got butchered by Youku

I can't take it anymore
This drama had a very very good start and it had such a good story with amazing Chemistry between The main leads as Two Brother or Two cousins and the ages between them fit perfectly
The story was engaging and emotional, it didn't have any BL or Gay scenes just Normal straight behaviour between two loving brothers as any NORMAL BROTHERS Behave anywhere
BUT !!!!!!
One BL fan took a scene from the drama and made An AI video of the boys kissing, its fake AI video went Viral and reached Youku's eyes so they decided to Cut every single emotional scene between the boys

Also, there is another reason one fan said that Certain Idol group fans reported the drama for plagiarism and the drama was registered as Theme rural drama, not friendship youth drama that's why the Chinese authorities got its attention on the drama that made Youku deleted every single emotional scene

Every single caring gesture or Caring talk about each other was cut
HOW DO I KNOW about those scenes ??
Because all the cut scenes have behind-the-scenes footage and the trailer of the drama itself was already released before it airs
So Now the drama became disjointed pieces of family drama
I'm really sad and disappointed,, I was so invested in watching this story, and those characters
what a shame !!

Cosy and warm brotherly love and familial bond

Okay, so this review of mine separates the potential watchers who do not want to fall prey of annoying shippers in the awe of having BL, brothers turning into BL (annoying right?). Yes it is.

[Edit-Damn, because of public, annoying fake AI video of brothers kissing, drama got censored after airing, and they cut so much, emotional scenes are all gone overnight. But except for ep 12, we didn't see any noticeable deleted scene. Ep 13, though shortened, it didn't seem that scenes were abruptly cut. The story was linking fine and made sense. So in conclusion . .

This series is still pretty good & watchable if we don't dig into deleted scene, because if we didn't know, we won't notice it. ]

The drama kicks off with the only child of He family, bearing the huge responsibility of maintaining fame that has been persistent for generations. But minutes later, one cousin of him (deep bond and care for each other) was shown to us. And at some later part, it was disclosed that the two were not blood related and this older cousin of him was separated from the He family at quite a young age due to some past history. But despite this the two brothers long for each other the same way as we people love our siblings. Yes, its pretty realistic and practical but damn f**kin people just can not digest the sibling bond. The production and direction is outstanding. Guys give it a try.
The younger one, He jia hao, is actually depressed due to his longing for his brother and his father's unbearable pressure to do well in studies and all that stuff (taking away his cherished things, destroying the talent of lanterns he had).
Ofc, we children need to have our own space to groom and outshine.
After some time, He jia shu, comes to the picture to save his little brother from falling into the dead end and helps him train everyday tirelessly. Now both the brothers are happy and also he jia hao is recovering well.

But yes, it's obviously not the end, many turns are yet to unfold. Do watch it if you wish to experience what lies ahead. You won't be disappointed with the cast, direction, production, and everything, literally everything.
Sensible watchers will sure make the sense out of the drama and for rest, go continue looking for your BL.
