As of noon yesterday, Internet users reported they could no longer view Go Princess Go online due to "copyright issues."
LeTV responded through an official statement on its Weibo account.
"LeTV's original production Go Princess Go has been loved by the media and fans ever since its debut. While creating a record high 2.7 billion views online and 2.68 billion discussions of the series on Weibo, the series also attracted unprecedented attention for its overthrow of the traditional methods of online drama production, marketing and broadcasting.
"As required by the authorities, Go Princess Go was withdrawn at noon on Jan 12 (users abroad can still view the program). We apologize for any troubles this has caused."
According to chinanews.com, Lv Haojiji, director of Go Princess Go, confirmed the authority's decision to withdraw the series Thursday night. As for "morality grounds," the director responded that "even the horse-riding scene in the first episode seemed to have its problems."
Lv said he is unaware whether the series will resume online after re-editing.
