I love this series so muchāitās incredibly moving, even at such an advanced stage. I rush home just to watch another episode. Iām amazed at how successful it is, especially with episodes that are quite longā40 minutes isnāt shortāand by episode 13, most of it still relies mainly on the interaction between just one couple(The second couple gets very little screen time.). Itās creativity in every sense of the word.
Episode 13 shows how important it is to preserve humor even as the series progresses and the relationship deepens with more drama. That rarely happensā90% of shows in any language tend to become sad and overly dramatic after a certain point, abandoning the comedic elements.And thatās one of the reasons for the scriptās success.
The characters are communicatingāeven though thereās still concealment and lies, thereās a dialogue that acknowledges and examines it. The conversations are relatively brief and superficial, but thereās still emotional engagement. From the moment they revealed their feelings, they started talking, and thatās not something to take for granted. Usually, drama arises from misunderstandings or lack of communication, but in this case, it gets resolved rather quickly because there is dialogue.
i thought the lighting effects and stuff was less annoying this time, or maybe iām just used it bcs of rewatching…
It definitely improved compared to last time, no doubt⦠and thereās even an āuncutā version. I just hope the next one will be better and less 80sāsomething a bit more 2025.
At least they tried to make us assume what happened the night before(WSW). chinese isnt Thailand... so im not…
Thai shows arenāt necessarily better at these scenesāthey just go to the other extreme with too much light. I wasnāt comparing it to Thai dramas, just to other scenes in the same show, which feel a bit more modern. This one feels old-fashioned, with the trumpet music, bokeh from the 80's and outdated cross-dissolves, even though the rest of the show feels modern.
Isn't that a way to 'censor' intimate scenes? I feel like it's understandable that they do things like that so…
Iām really not comparing it to Thai seriesāIām comparing it to other scenes within the same show, like the kiss scenes, which are much better. I think itās just poor editing, not censorship. Maybe thatās simply their approach to these scenes, using lights and cross dissolves to stretch a one-minute scene into three, but there are better ways to do that. Iām not the only one pointing it outāmany people are complaining about it, so I was hoping theyād take it seriously.

I don't think it's censorship, because the behind-the-scenes footage is actually more daring and transparent. So in my opinion, it's just bad editing. Also, the dubbing is really badāthe sound itself. There are way too many loud breaths, and there's no proper balance like in the series "Desire," where the audio is more polished. You don't hear all those heavy breaths and unwanted noises in every line.
I like the scenes where thereās interaction between the main characters, but the background music is really bad, and the rest of the scenes are very slow and boring. The dubbing of the main character Hua Yong is extremely monotoneālike a robot. Itās a bit disappointing and takes away from the enjoyment of watching.
guys ... be honest ... did they edit out the love scene? I'm struggling to believe they didn't.Im not one of those…
Iām starting to think itās just poor editing. All these cross dissolves, blurs, and lighting effects are seriously bad editing. The rest of the series isnāt edited like this at all. And the behind-the-scenes footage is way bolder than this edit, so I no longer think itās about censorship.
Please do not post intimate scenes on socials we still have a long way to go I dont want this drama to be canceled…
Whatās the point of writing here? Who even looks at this? Everyone posting it are Chinese or Asian users who arenāt even here. And anyway, the behind-the-scenes footage is way bolder than the scenes in the actual series, which are constantly blurred. Ugh⦠itās so frustrating.
12 episode was funny and excellent, but once again they fumbled the intimate scene. Itās unclear why they use transitions like cross dissolves, blurring, and lighting effects, and then cut the moment short. Itās such a shame.
The final episode was perfect, and the series is absolutely stunning. Itās such a shame it ended so quicklyāI really wish there were more episodes.
I think Ziyu is overall a talented actor ā donāt get me wrong (Iām sure some of you will get annoyed) but he really struggles with crying scenes. He has a hard time with them, and even the dubbed crying isnāt convincing. You can sense his difficulty, especially in behind-the-scenes moments, to truly connect with crying. Itās still a good scene, but it couldāve been much better if he had focused more on developing that weakness. That said, it seems there wonāt be any more crying scenes ahead, based on his hints
