Stayed offline all day and came back to find the comment section is still a mess, but there were some helpful ones among the ongoing panic, paranoia and doom sayers. Keen for next week.
Just peeped the comment section on Twitter and oooh yeah THAT'S where all the unhinged unreasonable asshole VPN riding crazy bitch fans are whining. Yikes. There really is a disconnect from reality for Asian fans.
Lol. I think for cutting out certain scenes of adaptations in all shows, producers usually consider one thing,…
I think the different subs also add to some delayed confusion, the YT subs had SW clearly say 'get out' and he wasn't telling Chi Cheng to leave the room lol but in the other subs he didn't say that, it was a bit too vague. I guess it depends on how direct the subbers are choosing to be lol
I came to peep the fall out in this low-mood comment section after the latest announcement and the vibe is pretty much the same as it was before the announcement. I can't tell if that's good or bad 😂 Anyways. The show will go on!!!! ... eventually 😄
By mistake GagaOOlala uploaded this scene, which was cut from the version that we all saw. Of course some fans…
Lol. I think for cutting out certain scenes of adaptations in all shows, producers usually consider one thing, and that is whether it's necessary to make the scene visual or if that's too much and it can possibly be implied with context or audio. Anyone who watches adaptations of any movies or shows after seeing the original will know that some things you know happened in the original is only referenced or sometimes visually made note of in the adaptation. With Chinese producers, I think they have an unfortunate second consideration, which is; "Is the scene going to be too much for the actors reputations in China Mainland in the future."
If we're looking at the first consideration, this scene could have easily been left in or left out, it didn't make much difference, most of the viewers got it and others figured it out eventually. For the second consideration, well, it is what it is and they'll do what they do. The scene was fine without it, so their choice affected nothing imo. But seeing this is funny 😂
90% of BL watchers have this epiphany when watching a Chinese BL (censored or otherwise). Nobody does it like they do (when they do actually manage to do it at least lol)
Nah, it was good. It had its flaws but the consistency for tone/story/acting was on point and they ended it unexpectedly and set up easily for a second season. 8.5/10 for consistency and over all execution of the plot. They did start to cake on the make up a little thick toward the end, considering how naturally done everything seemed in the beginning. Hope they go easy on that if they make a S02. If they do, I'll be watching ✌️
Chengyu is really FINE... if it was anyone else but XuNing as Chi, 90% of the fans would have ended up with Second…
The casting is on point for sure, no doubt there. The best face card for me though comes from Zhan Xuan, I feel like if he were wearing a neon yellow jumpsuit his face card would still hit lol
In terms of the show's fashion angle, yikes, I don't really think Chengyu's fashion sense is very good, most of the clothes the wardrobe department of the show chose for the character makes me frown. Chi Cheng's clothes are better, but some are misses too. I get they were going for rich-boy flare or summat but I've never been a fan of excessively baggy/flowly clothes and giant shoes, so 90% of Asian fashion is an eyesore to me LOL
Chi Cheng's best outfit so far is the waistcoat/no shirt with the suit jacket and pants combo and the monk strap shoes, all black. As for Chengyu, there are no winners yet, or maybe, his third outfit. The one he wears when he shows up and XS ignores him. Mid.

Lol, true. But for me, as much as I like Chi Cheng, I'ma be real, actor-looks wise, I'm way more invested in staring with focus at the screen when Chengyu is in the scene lol
After the short vid I made about CC and WSW, I am making a short FMV vid of Chengyu and Xiaoshuai _(:3」∠)_ I'm not used to making short vids so they look weird to me, but I am so impatient I can't wait for all the footage to make long vids. Monday is soooooooo close.
