I already started buying more paper, 'cause you never know. 

Don't forget the pens! No use having paper without pens!

Nooo, don't go!!

Eh... I meant moving the discussions on the novel. Will still pipe up here until I am kicked out...

I found an interesting comment from zhihu. Someone said this:

And I want each of our willows(XL name) stand up and not be rubbed on the ground. Tu Shanjing's role is tailored for Xiaoyao, not for readers, and he is funny to the end. You can like his gentleness and consideration, but don't ignore his fatal shortcomings. The bottomless kindness itself is the greatest evil.

Is Zhihu another social media?

That last part is so accurate.

Guys, where is imagine? She hasn't been online for 12 days :(

I sent her a message a few days ago but no reply.

I don't know how I feel about a FL who has a guy who is going blind falling in love with her and she continues to willingly choose to fool him and others

To be honest, I have no idea what eye condition ails Tang Yuexi, and no clue why the series of blows from her deception is worsening it. But you're right, whatever the premise is, let's hope we are not left with a female lead we find impossible to empathise or root for. While it's pegged as a romantic fantasy, it does sound like there will be angst (it won't be Tong Hua without it). Just no idea how much pain she is planning to inflict on the characters and viewers.

 atmospheres:

I think TJC's role in the film Again and Again might be that of an artist who is losing his sight...and I think his character in ShaPoLan also was blind or partially blind, I'm curious why he has continued to pick somewhat similar roles. I mean, I guess he wants the challenge of playing a blind guy and I'm sure he will do a great job, but...well, I'm not his manager or in charge of his career choices...some of his more recent project picks have bemused me and I'll just leave it at that.

I didn't realise his character is losing his sight in Again and Again - thought it was a story of two people whose relationship somehow kept encountering stumbling blocks one way or another, and now are hoping that this time they would learn from past mistakes.

Interesting observation about the recurring theme in his roles. I haven't read 杀破狼 but my impression is that Gu Yun gradually lost his sight much later, since he did not appear to be visually impaired in scenes from early days. 

Which of his projects do you find questionable? The fluffy romances? I would love to see him more in darker roles. Not sure whether I am overthinking it but the last scene in Under the Skin when the painting under his self-portrait is revealed, seems to hint at a darker side of Shen Yi than what we have seen so far.

I would love that too. And yes, I think there's definitely something more to Shen Yi. I hope they explore this side of him in the second season.

I don't know why, but I'm not really feeling the whole fluffy rom-com mood of his next dramas. 

If I'm being totally honest with myself, I think I'm getting cured and I'm beginning to think that I won't mind his ending too much in Lost You Forever O_O

Yay! Now you can start reading the novel, in time for when S2 finally airs!

Anyway, gotta turn in for now. May all things smile in your favour and wishing you a marvellous day!
