It’s jut uncomfortable all around for everyone — the actress wants to be more “pure”, the actor needs to maintain boundaries to not get cancelled, the audience is left grasping for straws on the chemistry front

Yeah I’ve been thinking this exact train of thought every time I read a criticism on the FL combined with praise for chemistry. But I didn’t say much cuz I’m conflict avoidant

I’m not sure if this is appropriate to say, but their aesthetic chemistry is also top notch. Esther is super feminine (slender but curvy, her facial features are very softly harmonious?) while He Yu is probably one of the most masculine looking guys in c-ent (broad shoulders, works out, sharp but non exaggerated features). Ngl I’ve been anticipating the chemistry ever since I saw the leads casted haha

They brought up a couple actresses I despise watching LOL. Everyone’s entitled to their own opinions so it is what it is ~

I listened to her birthday concert! It was so nicely put together, and her OSTs are always pleasant to listen to

Yeah I’m praying both fanbases remain nontoxic so we can get them together for another script 😂

I just don’t see who else would’ve been a better fit for Jiang Mu haha. It’s tough to act like a 20 year old when you’re 30, but I much rather have this than casting an actress in her late teens / early twenties 🥴

Do I think Jiang Mu’s Thailand scenes are a bit exaggerated at times? Yes. But I think the payoff in her emotional scenes in Nanjing are worth it

Esther x Dylan was my first and last ship between real life actors lol. I’ve learned my lesson.

Yep I agree! He also included a special thank you to Esther in his Weibo post saying goodbye to the show (sry if you already mentioned it in your post, I haven’t hit refresh on the page yet), which overall gives me good vibes about him

I’m reading stuff on Weibo / Rednote, so the time zone difference might be slightly off — but yeah around the past 1-2 days I think?

It’s for Di Mou, with Bao Shang En.

I like how He Yu wore the helmet Esther gifted him to his NEW drama, and he liked some of Esther’s recent posts on insta today after script reading for his new drama

Maybe it’s a play to get more of Esther’s / SAL’s fans but I also feel like he genuinely does whatever f he wants (the man already got hated on for having two dating scandals) vs. following the rules of c-ent, which I respect. Hope he and Esther can stay good friends after this and continue to support each other!

Hahah I saw the same. Someone else also said we don’t want the wedding scene just to “watch” it, but we want to feel like we’re participating in their joy together 🥺

Someone made a compilation of all the wedding clips! Ppl are saying maybe more leaks will be posted after the confidentiality period ends next April

Did you get a fever cuz the chemistry is so hot

Haha jk. I’m unwell cuz I was hoping for the wedding episode today since it’s the official finale

Thanks for replying for me 😂

I’ve only fallen into a deep hole with like 4 dramas (CLOY, LBFAD, Lovely Runner, and this), with this being THE supermassive black hole that I’ve fallen into, so I’m also personally lowkey a bit mad it’s not a domestic hit like the others lol 😂

Just looking at TikTok hashtags, SAL already has more than all the cdramas this year, about the same as Squid Game 3, more than Kdramas like Dear X and Dynamite Kiss, and seems to be on track to surpass When Life Gives You Tangerines + Bon Appetite Your Majesty (give those two shows aired a lot earlier)

While hashtags definitely aren’t all encompassing, it does make me happy that the cast and crew’s efforts weren’t wasted (looking at u IQIYI…). If anyone has better metrics, pls lmk!

I sure hope so haha

Someone said “if they don’t release the wedding on IQIYI, I’ll just assume it was paparazzi capturing Esther and He Yu’s actual private wedding” 😂

The novel explicitly mentioned it was not an issue LOL

I think the dialogue went something like:
Zhao: I have some other complications
Mu: Can you not have children..? 👀
Zhao: No that’s not it. Want me to prove it to you? 😏

LMFAO I’m tryna cope out here

Lolol I feel like the actors are promoting the heck out of their own social media tho, so maybe that’s what the original comment meant idk
