it wasn't XueQin

in ep 3, when they were deciding which members to swap

Didi had a fleeting expression of confusion on his face but he tried to be cool about it, so the situation didn't get worse. But netizens called the other cast member out as having low EQ. It went into Weibo hot search list.

yup, it happened when they were deciding which members to swap and somebody said she didn't want Didi.

Yang-yang was also in The Irrestible 2. It was funny, I laughed so hard. The hunting games were suspenseful. If you've seen photos of Didi with a watermelon painted on his face, this is the show where it happened.

I watched The Inn Season 2 where cast members stay in a resort and help run it. Dylan Wang impressed with his cooking skills there. There is another one, The Irresistible Season 1 where cast members are divided into two groups that play against each other. Another popular one is Hello Saturday, but I haven't watched this yet. I think these are all available on YouTube.

she and Ao Rui Peng are getting sweet with each other

Sun Yi is getting to be a favorite of mine. She treats Dylan Wang so well, especially after he was humiliated by another cast member.

I'm feeling great chemistry between Dylan and Sun Yi. Sun Yi is so pretty, her smile is dazzling, she can even play a role younger than Dylan's, like Chen Yuqi did in Unchained Love. Dylan is so versatile he can convincingly play roles older than his real age. Thus, their drama does not need to be limited to the older-female-younger-male trope.

So far, Dylan and Victoria Song have not had much interaction with each other. But they're both good-looking with a lot of energy and sense of humor, it would not be hard to see them together.

I was like you at the start, couldn't stand the FL's high-pitched and whiney voice. In ep 9 though, I started to love the drama. The FL's voice gets less annoying and by the end, she has a different personality.

I've seen Hedi cook on Twitter and been wondering why he didn't cook until ep 8. He explained in ep 8 that there were too many cooks already in the previous housing arrangement

I think the camaraderie among the cast members is the main reason this show succeeded. It feels like family where members tease and bicker with each other but they also care for each other

I'm watching this on Tencent

Their interaction is interesting, with a lot of tension. They're always bickering, making me suspicious that either they're fighting some attraction for each other or it's a case of like poles repelling each other

they are both beautiful and extroverts

Dylan Wang Hedi and Jackie Li are so cute and funny together. I laughed so hard at their attempt to do sea yoga

I haven't watched the previous seasons, so I'm watching season 2 now. It is so funny! I'm loving the camaraderie among the cast members.

'So excited about this season, with Victoria Song and Sun Yi among the newcomers. According to the list of future dramas in Dylan Wang's plate, he is going to have dramas with Victoria Song and Sun Yi. Can't wait to see his chemistry with his prospective leading ladies.

Aside from the main leads, what I loved about UTP was the story. As long as the story is well written with three-dimensional characters and the acting is good, I can forgive sub-par cgi.

I was actually surprised with Yuqi Chen. I didn't expect to like her chemistry with Wang Hedi as much as I did. I like how quirky and unique she portrayed Bu Yinlou.

Coincidentally, I just finished Under the Power and loved it. It's one of the best cdramas I've watched. It was suggested by another MDL user. RJL and Wang Hedi are my favorite cdrama actors. I like cdramas that make me think like UL and UTP.

I didn't know UTP was also a low budget drama but it makes sense. High-budget dramas tend to be gimmicky with fluffy bells and whistles coz producers don't want to take chances with their investment. So, they more likely try to satisfy viewers' visual and sensual needs. They usually don't dare turn viewers off by taxing their minds too much. Low budget dramas tend to be more daring and deep with their storylines.
