They're slowly bonding, spending time together, and getting to know one another's interests. I mean, what are you expecting at EP3?

While this story isn't as focused on how to play a sport as much as some other sport-themed dramas are, it is still about how Lin Yiyang is inspired to mend his past, resume his career, and succeed because of his relationship with Yin Guo, so I'm not sure why you're saying there was no need to show the billiards part. This isn't simply a romance drama about how two people meet, fall in love, and get together. It's an inspirational story that shows how love can help push and drive a person to succeed in something they'd given up on. I personally enjoyed the drama from beginning to end because I loved every moment of their relationship, and being someone who doesn't play the sport, felt there was just enough billiards in it to keep me intrigued and to drive the point of the story, but not too much as to overwhelm me.

That's so beautiful! I'm waiting to watch Dwelling by the West Lake. That relationship between son and mother is going to be so emotional and fantastic. Looks like we'll be seeing some top-notch acting from Wu Lei. Our handsome dude isn't just some idol actor. He's so darn versatile and intense. Love watching him in these serious films. A few haters be complaining that he can't act because he's low energy in his acting and that he always has the same expressions. Too funny.

No prob! Glad you enjoyed AASOL so much. Hope you'll like some of his other projects as well whenever you get around to them.

Ah, I see. It's unfortunate that she wasn't able to be there in person.
But, yes, was def the best answer. They even showed Hu Ge, and he looked quite proud of LeiLei's response :)

You need to watch his other dramas(and films) too. AASOL was wonderful, and I enjoyed every moment of it, but Wu Lei is such a wonderful talent and versatile actor that you really just have to watch everything he does :)

She did? So happy for her too then!!! Was she also present?
And Wu Lei's speech is so humble. When they asked him if he had a role model or someone he wanted to be like, his answer was so respectful of everyone there and just so wise. Good for him.

Glad to hear that there are also others who enjoy the various dynamics and healthy aspects in the balanced GeSun relationship. I love how it's stressed that they naturally share this partnership where they view one another as equals, and both can each understand, admire, and respect the other. There's none of the usual toxicity. And because Changge is not as comfortable with her feminine side and is always running around as one of the guys, there's also this sense of "brotherhood" between the two where A'Sun trusts and respects her abilities just as much as he would Mujin or anyone else close to him. It's very refreshing to see these different layers being so naturally a part of the relationship, too, rather than just the lusting after/wanting-each-other part. I feel that other series tend to focus on the lusting aspect and don't put enough emphasis on the part that is actually the foundation of why two people are so fitting for each other or why their relationship would make for such a great one. TLB does an excellent job of laying all of that out for our two lead characters.

Yay for LeiLei receiving "Quality Influence Drama Star of the Year". AASOL also received the "Youth Inspirational Drama of the Year" award, for which LeiLei went up to receive :)

I think the majority feel that there's a lot of fire in their chemistry, lots of tension and awkwardness that will create forests full of butterflies. They're making out, going on dates, sleeping with each other, etc, etc. And, as this person says, he stares at her like he's going to eat her alive, while she's feeling awkward and shyly staring back, at times, as if she's quite aware of what's going through his mind too. Sibling vibes my butt. I think some just like to create controversy with the contradicting things that they say.

And I was agreeing with you that if it was freaking you out, then you should move on. What's the problem?

Then what is this "vibe" that makes them like siblings if it's unrelated to the way he stares at her? So he stares at her like a lover that's about to eat her but also gives off a "sibling vibe"? Sure. Maybe it's the way she's so awkwardly shy around him then, huh? 'Cos siblings totally do that with each other.

My favorite powerhouse CP.

Love, love the GeSun CP. Non-toxic couples FTW.

They're so cute here! Love the GeSun CP.

That's little Yuan. She's the daughter of governor Gongsun Heng of Shuozhou in the drama. She's so adorable and has some cute scenes with the two leads.

It's so gorgeous! Thank you for sharing.

The bromance between Ashile Sun and Mujin...!

Hao Du was actually in the manhua, though his role was quite minor. Only Leyan was a created character for the drama. I guess they either felt they needed more female characters, or put her in there just to give Hao Du a love story, too, since they made Hao Du's role so much more important in the drama.

Glad to hear you finished it. I love this drama, though Hao Du and Leyan were the most boring part of it for me(they were bland, a bit pointless, and disconnected from the main plot of the drama, which was the war between Tang and Ashile). I also enjoy inspiring and healthy relationships that have more dynamic to them than just two people who romantically like each other, so I personally Ioved Changge and A'Sun's partnership+romance relationship...but each to his or her own. And I don't know that the scenes done in drawings was necessarily a budget thing because it could simply be a homage to the drama's original source since it was a manhua/comic by Xia Da. I honestly didn't mind that they fast-forwarded all those long, pointless army battles with comic. I enjoy the live action battles for the more personal fights(which this drama did do), but actually think live battles are unnecessary for all the long, repetitive sieges in this story.
