Controversy
- Malaysia's satellite channel Astro AEC had already began to air the show the same day as Singapore, which mirrors that of Astro Shuang Xing's First Global Premiere plan. This is already controversial, since Mind Game, which was the first drama under the plan, did not perform well in Singapore and is also nominated for only one technical award in Star Awards 2016. In addition, only Super Senior and The Dream Makers II were the only dramas in the plan to win performance categories.
gollark: Probably a horrendously complex problem, that.
gollark: and then do magic and it's all fine
gollark: That doesn't actually help with *arranging them onscreen*.
gollark: No.
gollark: Also, Python libraries generally seem to be imperative stuff with a thin OOP veneer which makes it slightly more irritating to use.
