The one you posted is my second favorite.
Someone had posted 4 osts from S&F on Spotify. I am sharing the playlist here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2zhZ5kbTl1C5kk0GxBxND2

It was, sadly.

There's also Wonderland of Love which was one of my favorite c-dramas of 2023.
Two dramas back to back where Xu Kai's character was very prominent, as it should be for the dramas you mentioned as well since he was ML. Both WOL and S&F brought back the lost glory of Xu Kai.

It's also funny that the commenter points out that she/he doesn't feel the chemistry and wishes it was Dylan Wang in the drama instead of Xu Kai. Such disrespect to the work Xu Kai has put in for this drama.
Also, to the commenter, it's not just Esther and Dylan that have great chemistry, Xu Kai himself has had great sizzling chemistry with FLs of other dramas, but I would never say: "I wish so and so actress was in this drama instead of Esther".

Perhaps the drama releases the script along with the episodes? I know an American drama, Outlander, that does this.

Usually, if a scene is in the script, it means they have filmed it but it was cut in post production. If they didn't film the scene, they'd make a revision to the script and cut out the scene from the script as well.

This is sooo good. I can now understand why Chinese netizens are mad that this was cut.

If you are watching Court Lady as a court politics drama, then it can be considered as a very good drama. Those who say that they liked Court Lady probably didn't follow how it was promoted. It was promoted as a rom-com with lots of Xu Kai and Li Yitong. But it wasn't. It was a court politics drama through and through, with very little screen time to both the leads. There were many episodes where one or both of them didn't even get a 5 minutes screen time. Both of them together had even less screen time.
If it was promoted as a court politics drama and I watched it for that reason, then I might have appreciated it. Unfortunately, it wasn't. And I felt I had been deceived.

Good luck with Court Lady, I couldn't do with it. ALP is great. I didn't watch Yanxi Palace because Xu Kai is the second male lead, and I don't like suffering from SML syndrome.

In S&F he dubbed for BLH.
LCF voice actor dubbed for YJZ.

They are married, just didn't have wedding yet.

I know she went on her own. You were implying that FL's dream is going to the UN and it could not be realised if she resigned at Huasheng. I'm saying that is not true. Even if she jumped to Yuyi, she can still go to UN.

It's still not "backstabbing". ML asked her to resign because she was not given the respect she deserves at her company. Pretty sure ML can get her to the UN too.

Fall In Love is soo good. Don't hesitate. You can watch this after that.

The FL's name in My Boss (also starring CXX, and both dramas are airing at the same time) is Cheng Yao. Here, Cheng Yao is his love-rival.

I'm confused. Why are people mad that XYC "backstabbed" LX? Where did he do that?

1. Although he wanted to poach CY, he didn't do it for the sake of LX. It was TX who poached him.

2. Even if he poached CY, he did it for his own company. Remember, they established ground rules that they won't bring work home? Poaching is business, not to mix with their personal relationship.

3. There are people saying that XYC should have at least given LX a heads-up about it? Like, what??? Again, this is business. If he had given her a heads-up, do you think LX would just sit around and let Yuyi poach CY that easily?

When I saw that little fight between them, I actually did not like that LX was again mad at XYC. But, thankfully, it didn't last long and she understood him.

Anyhow, the drama is good from LX and XYC relationship point of view. After they got together, they had a healthy-ish relationship... No fights or breakups. Very healthy communication between two mature people. But as I said, healthy-ish, because it's always XYC adjusting for the sake of LX, and never LX doing it for XYC. And also, LX's parents were blaming XYC for the break up 8 years ago? And XYC just accepted it? LX also didn't explain it for him and let XYC take the blame?

Side couples are just meh. Especially Shasha and WT. I just couldn't stand watching their scenes. TX and CY was a bit better, but still meh.

Interesting development on Bambi Zhu's side. Xu Kai's boss (don't like this guy) has been criticizing her recently everywhere for backing away from a second lead role from the drama he is producing. And now she is starring in one of Xu Kai's dramas as a second lead.

OFL's source material is the problem. I think the screenwriter did a good job of staying true to the original novel, and the result is what as I had expected. I read the novel (accidental love) a few years ago and thought it was shallow and average. The drama was doomed to disappoint.

I only watched the first few episodes of that drama, so I don't know about it.

This is S+. Xu Kai's recently released dramas (with the exception of Snow Eagle Lord) and future dramas are all S+, including ABAY.

I'm not sure how to rate best kisser, but Xu Kai is a very good on-screen kisser in c-dramaland. Most of his really good on-screen kisses were censored or edited badly.
For ex; in the Legends, the drunk kiss near the rocks, on-screen it was badly edited that you couldn't see it. But in bts, Xu Kai and Bai Lu were basically eating each other's mouths. The same happened with Wonderland of Love & She and Her Perfect Husband kiss scenes.
His only on-screen hot and steamy kisses that didn't get heavily censored or badly edited were from Falling Into Your Smile.
