Who is Gao? can't find him in characters cast

just lovely

yes I thought I remembered her face from somewhere, but Baidu has no one fitting her character name or appearance in the list. She looks like a Russian minority Chinese... But I don't think she's gained fame yet.

yeah. but let's not think these are done in a city studio, Wu Lei studio is merely the name of his fully owned production company : he can use the resources to go places with a safety net of professionals who can take footage and research the locales so he knows what to do. And his company can post produce to everyone's best enjoyment.
As he stated in his guest guiding video of Xiamen in the Marvelous city series : he is personally someone who takes safety seriously, not taking unnecessary risks. He's paid enough to freak accidents and less safety conscious productions, such as the one when he almost lost an eye and his pretty face, a few years back...
One-eyed Leilei pirate style for life? I shiver in horror.
All the best in Dragon year to folks here, btw.

yes France, and you can look up the Chalet Nordique du <>Plateau in Leschaux, less than 1/2 hrs drive from Annecy where the bridge Pont des Amours is located.

Sakie, langyabangs , Magnesopus and Wndering Dragon have furthermore hunted up the locations in Helsinki, Finland, and in France, on this Discussion thread :

I will try to add the missing pictures.

this question is repeated by many, but at the moment you can only listen to a snippet in the drama, first episode, about 09:40 timestamp; AND second episode 31:50 timestamp when LYY takes YG to the subway station.

Lin Yiyang is a wonderful character.

yes, to the home land, where "fallen leaves return to their roots" and everybody knows the poem Quiet night thoughts which is remembered by all who are separated by distance:
Before my bed lies a pool of moon light
I could imagine that it's frost on the ground
I look up and see the bright shining moon
Bowing my head I am thinking of home

I too was taken aback by the sharing bank account info. I am cagey, don't even do that with close family! (well, one exception, but only in case of dire need). It is indeed borderline dangerous model behavior to follow. Openness has limits.
That and accepting drinks from strangers in a foreign country unknown bar. Nowadays it could spell looking for trouble. Depending on circumstances, of course.

oops, putting bad teeth on Mai Mai : that's a crime! Which one, to avoid it?

ZJY I also remember favorably from 2021 "Fall in Love" and last year's "Bright Eyes in the Dark" (although I did not finish the latter, just saw a few episodes, and got embroiled in watching other drama and doing other things so the last firefighting story of 2023 - perhaps suffering from the "one too many" curse that year; so, that one was "left on the back-burner until it turned cold": should I reheat it?? )

Yep, my feeling too, it's rather obvious if we connect the dots and look at the picture.

In a few hours : Eps. 15-16... Rejoice.

Are you that good ??? Wow. But fear not, many must be dreaming along similar lines. 😄😄😄

Dark Night and Dawn with CZY will air before the White Olive Tree, if my calculations are correct. Perhaps we can watch someday the partly shelved Golden Hairpin. I regret we'll be deprived of his cyberpunk drama with JC-T. If you are curious, you can check my Profile of the handsome "beast" :

Perhaps I should do same for Wu Lei. Or a mini profile like those I did for JC-T, Liu Yuning, Chen Xingxu... It does take much energy, though.

13-14 were on Wednesday 7 with LYY and YG flying off for short trip. Not to an "island" but "abroad" , to France, specifically.
15-16 now on Thursday 8 with (edited: no Parisian excitement, that must be elsewhere, not in that episode finally) and going back to Finland to pack up and leave the shared apartment and coffee beans (from preview) and next flying back to China. Since there is a cake pictured there's may be a birthday (yes: Yin Guo's and he flies over to meet her).
17-18 on Sunday 11 after people have digested CNY new year's eve and visited temples and kin as tradition prescribes. I have refrained from peeking at previews. Compass needle, cherries, billiard ball (?) and copper teapot (?) we shall see what these are clues for.
Next until Wednesday 14, two episodes daily until (edit: episode 24), with a microphone and heart pictured so this looks like a HE with some public announcement (wedding?).

But wait: the drama has 30 episodes... and there's news that there is/will be a Fast track for VIP members for 29-36. (this part updated Feb 8 after viewing 15-16)
Yes, a calendar would be nice, but nobody has posted it to photo-gallery yet?

ikr. L&P.... I also view them as soul/stage sisters 😀

I distinctly heard 海外 overseas in the spoken dialogue.

Hahaha, it's in his genes. Look at Leilei even after having had a prop blowing up into his face a few years ago. He did not even do cosmetic surgery. And his keeping fit routine is awesome (saw that in the videos that were aired alongside LLTG,). Wu Lei was a good fitness coach in "Nothing But You": these guys know that muscle is important. Especially if you have to shoulder hard labor and study or taking care of companies.

It looks tiring but is not that far from Annecy. I have driven that stretch in the past, and back, with a friend (from China) who also wished to see these parts. In fact, we drove all the way from Chamonix to Switzerland next, and toured also through the Black Forest in Germany, as we were based in Lyon for that vacation time.

We must assume that YIYANG (not Liyang, the ML character's name is Lin Yiyang nicknamed Duncuo) is an experienced driver too, just as in real life Wu Lei is, although he is (judging from his vlogs) more brusque at the wheel than I am. But in the vlogs he does not drive looking away from road ahead ; I frowned when I saw Yiyang shooting a glance to Yinguo, preferred nickname Xiaoguo, when he was driving... Stopping the car for a pause was better driving behavior.

The team did go to Paris which I think will be seen in next episodes, where he'll take Yin Guo on a motorcycle drive along the Champs Elysees avenue.

The Leimi and Maixiang are probably less numerous in France than in China where Leilei will be spotted even on the far out Tianshan mountain roads, but strangely not remembered to be skilled at horse riding like a Mongol. He can even lie back on horseback to gaze at the sunset.... My type of guy, totally!

Aha, Maixiang group spotted ? 😀
