So the special edition is basically just a more concise version with a couple added/extended scenes. It's totally up to you if you want to jump right back in. When I first watched CQL, I completed the 50 episode version then read the book, then the manga, and after that finished the 20 episode version since I still wanted more. This version is essentially the same, but just has some bonus scenes and is good for a refresher if you can't get over TU. It's really up to personal preference. :)

I'm not sure which days the episodes release but I believe it's slated to finish May 5th and they release three episodes per week.

He would be so good for the part if by some chance the stars aligned on that, lol. It would be his third role in a BL adaptation and I think he could be considered a pro at that point xD

There is a thread in the discussion board on how to sign up for the Youku VIP if you haven't already. It's actually pretty easy to navigate and only costs about $2 USD. :)

I think the only ones who might leave negative comments are trolls tbh. If it's fans of "that particular show" I truly doubt the actual fans would say anything negative considering all the trolling they have gone through. I can't say much about other media platforms since I'm too lazy to get them, but there will always be toxic people who want to put good things down unfortunately. Best thing I think is to just ignore any negativity. At the end of the day, we're all here to share our enjoyment of drama watching. ^^

They changed it for the drama. In the novel, he inhabits the body while the face remains that of Mo Xuan Yu. I would think of it as a soul swap.
It's just a little script/storyline change to make the drama and casting easier I would assume. It is never really made clear what happens to WWX's body since it is stated that people went and looked for it, but couldn't find it.

They way they look at each other and smile gives me happy little butterflies ^^

Same, lol. That's pure talent. I would definitely die laughing if I saw that in person xD

That would be cool! I'm sure there are fans who would appreciate the efforts ^^

I'm not sure actually, I was curious about that as well. I doubt it does for the same reason you do, but hopefully it doesn't catch anyone's eye that it shouldn't. I know gaining popularity for things that toe the censor line can be a little dangerous. :/ For now I'm just going to be grateful and appreciate all the fan service food Youku is feeding us. ^^

I am absolutely loving all the BTS releases and this scene is so much more intimate here. However, I was feeling all emotional and then the BTS of ZZH giggling madly at the "Ni bu pei" line popped into my head.

Just in case anyone needs a spiritual pick-me-up, Ima just drop this here. https://twitter.com/ttvyibo/status/1380242791884787712

Of course, no problem! I think I've watched three times already, and died laughing each time, lol. The pair of them are so funny and work so well off of each other.

Me too! I thought it was a really nice addition! ^^

The way he said Lao Wen and Let's drink had me all warm and fuzzy. Also, apparently him saying Lao Wen three times was ZZH's own addition to the scene T_T

GJ and ZZH are really tugging on my heart strings. This scene is even better in their real voices. https://twitter.com/zhngzhehan/status/1380015761666633729

This is the subbed episode :) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QHpk18A9DN8

Youku posted a compiled BTS video today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVYXq0lzLEA

Of course, no problem :)

Yes! I live for their content. The first time I watched one of the interviews with GJ and ZZH, I had to double check that it was the official channel because of the inserted memes. Whoever is running their Twitter and YT deserves all the good things, lol.
