Due to that, YouKu (Chinese streaming service) owned by Alibaba Group purchased the rights to stream to the Chinese market. A part of the shares of Alibaba Group Holdings are owned by the Chinese government which has influence the censorship of some scenes in the series to follow the guidelines issued in 2015 to censor "vulgar, immoral and unhealthy contents" and ban "abnormal sexual relationship and behavior" However, with the help of technological convergence, audiences are able to find ways to watch the uncensored original episodes with the help of VPN, video pi...
