Prepping for a second season, so they left it on a cliffhanger. Now, if the s2 happens is another thing... I am of a mindset that it simply has to, so it will π
this is my first cbl and i don't watch a lot of cdramas in general but i really want to try and watch more. could…
One title I honestly wish everyone would watch, cause I am positive people would fall in love with it is Sammy's Children's Day. https://kisskh.at/803340-chu-san-de-liu-yi-er-tong-jie You'd have to put up with dubbing that's a bit jarring (the actors spoke Mandarin while filming, but the show is dubbed in Cantonese bcs it's set in Hong Kong). However, you'll get beautiful cinematography, really good acting, interesting story and amazing chemistry between the leads.
ζ―δ½ ζδΊζ (It Was You Who Loved Me) by He Changxi, love this OST so much, love it love it. So beautiful.…
Shi Ni Ai Le Wo is definitely my most listened to song on the entire OST (I also ended up having a playlist dedicated only to Changxi after watching this drama with SCD songs plus some of his previous songs, collabs, etc. So there's that...) That scene with a bouquet is so adorable it hurts. Liuyi protecting the flowers while kicking ass is beyond cute. But generally this entire ep is overflowing with cuteness. Starting with Liuyi wanting to find the dean to get the graduation ceremony repeated π
Since you mentioned the OST, it might interest you that Changxi and Yanzhao actually dropped an EP a few days ago. It has one duet song and two solos for each of them, 5 songs total. Personally I like the SCD OST better, but that EP is not bad either, has a cute, gentle vibe to it. Maybe you will enjoy it (you can find it under Changxi's artist page, since you already saved Shi Ni Ai Le Wo).
I actually have a (maybe weird) question. But seeing you just starting the drama, how did you find out about it?…
Honestly, there are a lot of shows I personally don't vibe with and quite a few that I consider good, but didn't blow up properly. It is what it is, sadly I can't decide what people like π Having said that, I do think that with SCD the case has to do more with... its positioning (for the lack of a better word) that I mentioned. Plus some people might be put off originally by the dubbing. And the cliffhanger ending, which I feel is discouraging those who only start a drama when it's complete or when it's a happy ending. Also, the current promotions, while they're quite heavy, they're mostly focusing on the ship marketing and in my impression are mostly directed at people who have already watched the drama and are willing to spend money π(I might underestimate the power that comes with exposure to the ship, as some people might see Xizhao and get interested who these guys are and what's their work.)
Well, for what it's worth, every now and then the bts footage of their rooftop kiss scene blows up on X. That's one way of exposure for the drama I suppose π
I actually have a (maybe weird) question. But seeing you just starting the drama, how did you find out about it?…
So some people still come across it organically and by accident. That's good, that's good. Personally, I wish this drama got way more exposure than now (it's that good), hence why my question.
Happy you're enjoying it. I think I was hooked after first two eps and totally in love with it around episode 4 already ;)
Just finished first episode. My first impression is that Xia Liuyi is very puppy like. Is he supposed to be a…
I actually have a (maybe weird) question. But seeing you just starting the drama, how did you find out about it? I'm curious because in my impression it is so difficult to come across it without actually specifically looking for it. My algorithm is of course pushing SCD-related stuff on me all the time, but I'm obsessed with the show π However, I kinda feel like it's been buried on Viki under the Hong Kong category that has no exposure on the app (like the show has been stuck at around 6K, which is crazy for me, considering it really seemed to have a good momentum when it was airing), Gaga is pushing new dramas on their main page and I don't even know how anyone would stumble upon it on YouTube without specifically looking for it. I am subscribed to both of their channels there, and barely get any notifs anymore π
Four episodes in. I am really impressed with Ryan Cheng and his acting. I knew I could expect a lot from Bai Lu, she got my attention in Till The End of The Moon already and I kept her on my radar since then. But it's the first time I see him in any drama.
The conversation between them in ep 4 after she set the fire inside his study was perfection! So intense, so well-acted, so satisfactory to watch... π
I think we will get season 2 for sure as liuyi still doesn't know who actually killed his sister and his brother…
Of course, judging by the story alone, we should get s2 for sure, since they not only left a few plot points open, but even set up the entire finale to be an obvious cliffhanger (not just the Liuyi part, but the entire plot of second couple). Aside from that, actors themselves mentioned s2 so many times on different occasions I actually lost count π
The thing is, I think we're all collectively traumatised π For some of us it is what happened with The On1y One (me, I am very much so still bitter about it), for others it's Stay With Me. And I happen to even remember how History2: Crossing The Line was rumoured to have a movie (when did that happen, cause I must've missed it π) In general, there's not much encouraging precedence when it comes to continuations of Chinese/Taiwanese BLs. Which is why getting an official confirmation/announcement would be *that much* reassuring.
Imagine if we had 5 more eps at this point in addition to the 9 we got...yes I am being delulu
It's probably your brain mixing two things. Apparently, according to some people who saw the news back then, when the casting for s1 started they were talking about 12 eps (and it later got cut down to 9). Maybe you read that one and your brain adjusted the story to fit your liking? My brain does that all the time π

Well, I do have a weekend ahead so... with this type of encouragement I guess I know what I'd be doing.
