But if you like slow roasted bread crumbs that are left at unexpected intervals then yes pls watch. 🤣Admin…
Thx, Jules answered to me on this, that we should have a different expectation. In my opinion this drama is absolutely not about physical intimacy, but everything elese, what is valued in a relationship.

So having a different kind of expectation, is a very good approach ineed.

Oh, I don't remember. Sorry... Yes, that is why I mentioned it. We should have a different expectation compared to the normal dramas.

Ahhh, I see!

During a discussion some time ago, I actually answered this on some questions..

Re 3: Romance doesn't always show itself in physical acts, but is much more subtle, as in this drama.
This drama is more about showing how they both try to support each other in every situation (even if they call each other pawns), how they look at each other and find inner peace when they are together and are there for each other no matter what will happen or come.
They feel that they can trust each other and see eye-to-eye and say what they think without fear that either of them will judge a statement negatively in any way. In a romantic relationship, shared values such as justice should not be underestimated, as both want the truth to be revealed.
Both realise that they are playing a dangerous game, yet they try to support and protect each other in subtle ways, no matter how dangerous it might become.
They argue constructively, as each is equally allowed to express their opinion to the other. Through such interactions, harmony and happiness can slowly emerge.
This form of romance portrayed in the drama is a much more mature form and has nothing to do with the more physical kind. Of course it plays a role, as they are probably seeking it - in the case of Xiao Heng, you can definitely see it through his small gestures.

And to quote Zeefaa:
"These are to me very serious feelings and the definition of romance considering the fact that the FL is a betrayed and traumatized woman ( not to mention still officially married) who may just not be able to handle more of it for the time being."

If someone has been traumatised by a situation with their partner, they will always be wary of trusting someone too quickly or letting their emotions get the better of them. When she later takes Xiao Heng in her arms or kisses him, you can clearly tell that she has put the past behind her and is ready to enter into a new relationship with someone who will not throw her away (i.e. want to kill her), but is prepared to give everything he has for her. This is the fundamental difference between the characters Xiao Heng and Shen Yu Rong, as well as Xiao Heng's love for Jiang Li compared to Shen Yu Rong.

EDIT: The princess literally said the same today LOL - XH would die for JL...

I don't see it as lowering the expectation - but to see it in another perspective.

The drama in general revolves around their flirting around their trust for eachother.

Quite some time ago, I actually wrote something about this, since many were so much displeased with the little intimicy they are having - needed some time to find the answer for this long thread - but I made it. So will be sharing this one with you :)

Don't be confused - I answered some questions from my pov. Enjoy the read:

But in the trailer you still could see it. Not always everything needs to be seen in a vivid way. It depends on the angle, how it was filmed, the lighting, etc. Since we have no idea, how the scene has been cutted down, we should use our best way to stay patience. :) I didn't mind that there was no kiss in "The Long Ballad" since you felt the vibes between the leads. To film in this way it is more mature as well as more about the trust the leads build up during their journey. :)

Ofc I understand what you mean.

Why?
WXY was displeased with the wedding scene. Because during the interview they were talking about this scene and he said, that they took so many hourss to film it and therefore it shouldn't have been cutted down. So it wasn't in regards to the one today.

This scene was intentionally made - check out the BTS:

You know that there are other rumored ml? The two rumored ones would have actually been older. But it is said,…
They are also responsible for bringing down actors as well as dramas while airing with comments such as "The uniforms look to neat and clean." (It was a Republican drama), "The dresses as well as the food has to much resemblense with Japan." (I understand why they said that, because I also had the feeling that some of the dresses look more like Yukatas, but we are the modern generation and not the one which has been to war. Otherwise me as German I would need feel guilty everyday.) and so much more....

And yes, they are indeed wrong about the drama the double... Because its damn good and Duke Su - I don't care about his age, because he and JL hits it in every scene they have as well as the villans - they are all so damn good!

Same, that is why I have high hopes for the wedding scene. Otherwise we ould have the right to get as angry as Xing Yue did.

Since there have been many discussions about the kissing scene, I wanted to inform you, that the scene was actually made this way. It wasn't cutted, but filmed in this way. You can see in in the BTS on Weibo.

Here the link for the BTS:

I don't think so, because the scene was filmed in this way. Furthermore we already saw a kiss scene in the trailer, which will be happening when they finally get married.

I know many want kiss scenes already but I am so thrilled by the skinship we got in ep 33. That little bit was…

I guess this is called artistic freedom ^^
The scene was actually filmed like this. I was very confused too. But then I checked Weibo and saw the BTS.

You might need to scroll down a bit... In order to find the post of the BTS.

Hello. How is the romance? Is it worth watching for the romance?
It is made in a more mature way, such as relying on eachother as well as flirting. And it's a slow burn too. I love it very much, because it isn't done like in the usual dramas. But that needs everyone to decide for themselves.

I didn't mean you, since you just said that she looks older as well as you praised her acting :)

Many of the comments in regards to their age difference on Weibo before and when the drama started airing were more like"Couldn't they have found someone younger?", "She looks so old next to him!" "He looks like a baby boy compared to the fl" as well as the part, with the rumored ml.
