Puzzling. The characters in pale red on pale purple are too hard to make out with certainty for my slightly color blind eyes. I was barely making out something like 大学 or 大词 (dàxué, university?? or Dà cí, big word??) for the two last ones. Maybe鱼 (yú, fish) 南 (nán, south) for the ones just before, but it is too unclear. Anyway, it could be something different again, since it does not make much sense for me.
The drama is not on Viki to check if fansubbers found out more.
I suppose it will be a while before Netflix has is up till this episode.
If better sleuths at code cracking are here, I am interested too.

Yes yes yes, done already + flowers. Hearts and flowers are appropriate for this drama ^^

Done. There's still some votes needed to make it a round 2,000 hearts.
But he already has a nice bunch of 2,026 flowers at this moment (of the kind that do not wilt and stay there for keeps) !
Hearts and flowers boy lol

Presently watching episode 25.5 with humorous explanations, fashion show, the "Ma/horse" joke on Victor's name, exploring how to do the "exciting" and "beating" scenes and much more ^_^

Thanks, I was wondering how to fold them ! ^_^

Yes, that can be misleading for those who are not used to "kiss" lol

On MangoTV app : " Times are as follow : 7月5日20:00起，From July 10th, VIP members will update every Monday to Saturday at 20:00 and it will air until July 27"

Only in Chinese speaking countries, as it is georestricted elsewhere.
But it is on Viki already.

6 on my end too.

Song Yan, the captain, yes lol

I also love that video and have been raving about it, and mentioning it, again and again. Rosy did justice to the Zhao Fangjng song that became a hit a few years back after it launched in 2019. Discover other Zhao Fangjing songs on the Internet archive : https://archive.org/details/zhao-fangjing-songs/Zhao+Fangjing.+Alley.mp3 Zhao Fangjing is of the lead singers of Yin Que Poetry Listening【音阙诗听】group of EDM+gufeng singers and players of ancientt instruments whose other songs are also worth listening to. Follow this channel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q2WvTaqe9zU&t=2s for other songs in this "chinoiserie" style and mandopop, and from the Chengdu group.

You can hear the difference in pitch, Zhao Fangjing's original is higher; Zhao Lusi adapted it pleasingly to her personal musical range.
And for other songs recorded by Zhao Lusi, here's an 8 song selection by one of the valued contributors of lyrics translations : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Npm6jqTuMEw&t=289s

Yes, that's a beautiful MV too. The song is easier on her voice than mangzhong, but fits her natural singing voice very well. ZLS is not a very trained singer with an extraordinary range like Sa DingDing, but she clearly likes singing and when she performs her songs, it is pleasing to the eyes too. And she does play the guzheng.
I too collects her songs.
Among other nice ones check this one from 2021 with Alec Benjamin, Water Fointai : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u_yiFPJF58o It was also so sweet of her to extend friendship and do that duet, where her voice added a special feeling to the Chinese lyrics.

Yes, that's huge official backing and positive sanction from Chinese censors. It is Youku n°1 hit at the moment still soaring with the 10 000 heat index (that's absolute maximum). Also the fact that Netflix has it for 160 or 190 countries, starting airing since yesterday!

yes that's an interesting BTS. (fire!)

I think ZLS also taught Wu Lei and Yang Yang before, if I remember well some comments and BTS or interviews. Power to the ladies : Bai Lu also taught LYX in Love is Sweet (!!)

It is also funny to notice how make-believe the "steamy" hot "French kisses" in c dramas are, even when not blatant fish kisses in Janice Wu Qian style or hidden-from-camera no-kiss (according to contract) from Allen Ren Jialun who makes do with fiery gazes instead.
Zhang Binbin was wonderful when he achieved a for-once believable kiss from Wu Qian in ep20 of Here We Meet Again... (but this one is not as sweet as HL nor as steamy as The Forbidden Flower and Road Home which are anchored in my top 3 first semester 2023 romances in that order ?)

Struggle on ! 😂😂

She posted it 3 hrs ago on YT, I noticed in my suggested list, below notifications, although I have unsubscribed long ago. There was a mention that it had been viewed 8.3k a couple hours ago. I am not going to open the offending thing, title is clear that this is another one of the hellish hypocritical rants.
Youku ought to react and have this taken down ; they can because surely she used a lot of pix. If another Youtuber who thought she was ok doing translation of ost got flagged by a platform, then surely this AvX could get flagged too.
I think it almost happened already : remembering from a long while when there still was some value and less poison in her vids, that she complained she might have to take her audience to a backup channel..
I am all for freedom of speech and writing but not if it is deliberately misleading unsuspecting audiences to form a group of hater cultists, which is my feeling when I notice some other "commenters". How many are the toxic lot, I don't know ; some hinted that some fake acounts were apparently created :
one such "ayukuuh98 " (https://kisskh.at/profile/kikk888) for sure got exposed. That "person had rated WRTW ,LLTG and Long ballad 0.5 ..such an obvious Lusi hater and rated all Shen Yue dramas 10. And then rated Hidden love 0.5 after watching 25/25 episodes (25 episodes like Where ..they aren't even released) "
and when I out of curiosity checked the profile, this was someone who joined MDL after June 18 and had only 2 things in watchlist : very unlikely profile, imo!
But this feud is tiring and ruining my good mood ; certainly what these horrible haters hope to achieve, so I'll go clear my head while listening to some music and have a snack before checking on Netflix to rewatch from start!
And I shall just make a note of those haters and trolls' names and handles and avoid reading or listening to their poison from now on. Ignoring them, not bringing more views for them, even if I warn that I spotted the trace of their dung...
Happy to see ratings are soaring : with all the extraordinary hard work and input from Lusi and friends, to bring us such a lovely story, it is well deserved. Respect for this crew !

Like LLTG, this delightful drama is one which has me camping out in this comment section!
But it's way past time I ought to have retired to "sleeping berths", so I will do so now, while being lulled by some dreamy music (Liszt - Liebestraum No. 3) Until next episode 😂

Aaaah General Ling Buyi 🔥🔥🔥 was not bad either ! But that was in another era, where feelings had to be more restrained and where circumstances were much worse than in peaceful 21st century China. LLTG will not be forgotten.
Do you remember the "drunk girl riding the horse" scene ? so funny and sweet too. The puking on sweetheart here reminded me of that one. C-dramas have a way of making such awkwardness delightful.
I agree that HL pairing ZLS with CZY 🔥🔥🔥 is totally excellent and satisfying in the episodes we just saw!

Not one I am familiar with either.... :(

The snippets are designed as a sort of puzzle for audience to fit them in the appropriate time line in the episode. Clues are clothing and other things. The honey pot was before he waited for her at the karaoke, for instance : the clue is the bag he carries and gives her while she returns to dorm.
