I was halfway through making dumplings when my cousin in Toronto video-called me, her face pixelated with frustration. ‘Can you believe it?’ she groaned, waving her phone at the camera. ‘Wang Likun’s new drama just dropped, and I get this stupid "content not available in your region" message!’ The steam from my dumplings fogged up my phone screen, but not enough to miss her dramatic eye-roll.
This scene plays out daily in Chinese households worldwide. Just yesterday, my aunt in Sydney messaged our family group chat: ‘Who’s recording Ruoxi Zhuan for me?’ followed by three crying emojis. The struggle is real – when Wang Likun’s historical drama premiered on iQiyi, my social media exploded with equal parts excitement and VPN troubleshooting questions.
For those who haven’t seen the trailers: The Legend of Ruoxi isn’t your typical palace drama. Wang plays Wu Ruoxi, a chess prodigy turned political strategist who literally gambles with her life in each episode. The opening scene alone – where she coolly moves a chess piece while assassins surround her – gave me goosebumps. No wonder my cousin was willing to risk her iPad warranty trying sketchy VPNs!
Here’s what makes the geo-blocking especially cruel: The show’s cinematography. Those sweeping shots of ancient chessboards? The way sunlight filters through palace windows onto Wang’s embroidered sleeves? They’re meant to be seen in HD, not through some blurry bootleg recording your cousin’s neighbor’s aunt supposedly has.
Last night, after finally getting my Melbourne-based little brother access (more on that later), we video-called to watch the premiere ‘together.’ His running commentary through mouthfuls of midnight snacks – ‘Wait, did she just poison the general WITH the chess piece?!’ – reminded me of our childhood, crowding around one TV for period dramas. Except now, we’re separated by firewalls instead of just elbow fights for the best spot on the sofa.
So to all my fellow culture-starved overseas Chinese: I feel you. That special kind of FOMO when Weibo floods with memes about a show you can’t access? The frustration when buffering ruins Wang Likun’s most emotional scene? Been there, cursed at my router through that. But here’s the good news…
