You've said some deadly words there.
I can't click that yet! I have to pick up my daughter from school first!

In another interview I saw, he said it was earlier still. That it was A'suns heart, when he asked her to walk him out of the town, for a bit.
They stop and he asks her, if she's ever considered the Grasslands, and she says she knows nobody there, but he says ' You know me.'
That was apparently Sun's heart, already.
A confession, by A'sun standards haha

He must've felt some serious flutters when he sits with her on the roof, and when he takes her for that walk ;to clear his head;, after she cried.

Yes, with Mimi she famously ponders gender roles, and what are they to her.
She speaks of her father's many women, and how they're all soft and kind, but what is that to her.
She says the men are protectors, capable, but what is really all of this to her?

She sees herself somewhere in-between.
She too likes pretty and shiny things, but sometimes, just like Dilraba herself, Chang Ge just wants to exist and wear a burlap sack, if that's the case.

Whaaaat, the scene where he takes her for a walk, to 'clear his head, after she's been crying, it was the first scene they filmed together??
Woha.

You're seeing things that aren't there. I said, he's been with the brand for years by now, why would he break up with his brand, because some other actor/actress signed with them? It makes no sense.

Kissyface dramas, I mean dramas that launched her were those where there would be a lot of kissing, at first, those are the types of roles she had to do, to get noticed and get enough of a following to do more serious acting, like TLB.
It's more of a reflection on the status quo in China, Asia really, where you have to perform perfunctory kissyface drama's before you get the chance for anything else.
Dilraba has had to do the same things, Eternal Love of Dream being a great example.
She is however now, being offered more serious roles, roles that don't even involve kissing at all.
This coming drama with Allen Ren will be one, as he has no kiss contract, so you know it'll be substance over cheap selling point.

Lusi has worked nonstop for years, taking roles after roles after roles, to get to the position where she can afford to pick and choose.

At the point when Leo mentions a memorable line, from the drama.
He informs us, that when he invited Chang Ge to the Grasslands, early on, that was his love confession.

You know, when he asks her to walk him out of the city.
Leo said, that in his heart, and A'suns heart, telling Chang Ge that she knows him in the Grasslands.
' You know me.'
That was in fact A'sun's heart.

It's not. Viki subs it and they sub 2 eps per day mon-wed.
The eps we wait for are Chinese VVIP episode translations, which aren't global.
Globally, TLB finishes next Wednesday.

Their marriage isn't conforming to society standards.
When she asks him to please tell her his third wish, so she can accomplish it faster, he looks her up and down, then smirks and says 'we have a lot of time still'.
It's implied its babies, and well, what else.

She makes it clear, it pains her that she doesn't have parents living anymore, and all that matters is that her and A'sun are together.

She's only just turned sixteen, or there abouts, she's only had her period for a short time. She's barely comfortable around hugging, nevermind what married people do.
He knows he is ready for that stuff, a family even, but he knows she's not.
He seems very clear about this, and oddly respectful, for the times they lived in.

She starts off at 15. He starts off at 20.

Leo has been with the brand for 2 years? I think. Can't expect him to break with a whole brand!

I just realised, I don't really see the chemistry at all.
Not even sure they're in the same room?
Looks like it was shot at different dates, probably schedule conflicts.

Leo says he has perfect work/life balance, so he's never bogged down with schedule, but I think Lusi has been filming nonstop for years. I've seen her in 7? more? kissyface dramas in the past 3 years?
I was wrong, it's nine dramas. She has at least another 2 not too serious, and 2 more serious dramas coming up.

Years ago now,
Leo giving leading men goosebumps

Oh no!
I just thought about a modern drama they could do.
Chinese remake of uh oh - Something In The Rain.

I'm gonna need a bigger fan for this imagination of mine.

She has delicate little bones in her hand, and he's thinking; 'how do I not break these?'

Yes, I think we would really struggle as Vikings hahaha
I've seen LDICA, and it's an epic for certain.
Actually a good alternative if you don't want any romance right now, and just quality.
It has one of my favourite male actors, in one of the leading roles.

I see us surpassing 30k and START-UP, easily, by the end of the month,
Start-up finished ages ago now.
This comment section is gonna take a while to die down properly, we have new people here, every single day.
This is going to become the most discussed drama on MDL, just watch.

It's not like we can say it's Dilraba driven either, who is a super topic star, wo garners millions of views on anything she does, easily.
We like her, but she' not everyone's favourite actress, and she's not the reason everyone's here.
This drama was pure team effort.
Four dimensional characters, a script that cares about everyone - everyone except Shuyu- joking aside, how did we get a drama that got better, episode after episode?
This is finely crafted, in the same way as Minglan, Rise of Phoenixes, Yanxi Palace are finely crafted.
Completely different genre's, the aforementioned are MAMMOTH drama's, and one shouldn't compare a drama such as TLB to them, but you can, and TLB doesn't fall TOO flat, because they all just got better, for the whole sixty or so episodes that we were treated with.
TLB will forever stand out, for it's portrayal of POSITIVE MASCULINITY.
The pre-mentioned dramas are absolute gems, but they have toxic leads, EVERY CHINESE ML IS TOXIC, it is a standard we've all grown accustomed to.
This story gave us Ashile Sun, and Li Jing, in the same drama.
Now we're forced to adjust our standards, they'll get dragged down again, eventually, but we will be hopelessly disappointed in all leading men, for months to come.

Celebrate positive masculinity.

I rewatched the ep with dodgy subs, yesterday.
He was lingering by her face, for much longer than necessary, then the PRincess Brat, comes in.
And they both startle, two warriors startled? AND they look guilty.

This conversation takes place, right after Sun has a talk with Uncle Emperor?
There are no nuanced subs yet.
