Hahaha it's no problem I enjoy talking about dramas anyway, happy Tod it. And yeh skipping a few episodes won't hurt, we're both watching other shows as well anyway, so you'll have other episodes to keep you occupied in the mean time.

😂😂

No you're right about that, if they dated on/after a show more likely I feel it its due to spending months and months together filming and getting to know each other rather than any intimate scenes. And I didn't know that about outlander, I guess that kind of tells you also how many intimate scenes they had 😂good choice after all, anything that makes the actors/actresses more comfortable and safe.

100% agree, they're super well done.

Hahaha of course we know all that, Weishenme and I mostly just kidding around but some actors do get hot and bothered. Theres many stories of actors getting sexually aroused filming intimate scenes, causing delays and having to shoot scenes over and over. Of course most actors are professional, and the whole set with cameras etc like you mentioned make it more a work environment than anything else. One of the reason intimacy co-ordinators are on set is to deal with the situation when actors/actresses become aroused. I mean it's only a natural human reaction. In most situations and most of the time it feels awkward but there are times when they become hot and bothered/aroused, it definitely does happen, there's many stories of it, but again only natural. And there's definitely measures in place like you mentioned to try and minimize it and deal with it respectfully when it happens. I remember one story with Henry Cavill filming the tudors and it was pretty funny how embarrassed he was 😂Of course most of the time like you mentioned its more awkward and the environment and everything going on make the situation barely sensual when filming, but it does happen and there's nothing wrong with that.

hahaha 100% could never be that professional and I feel you, same here, keep replaying the happy times so hopefully the pain of the angst will not be as bad, even though we know it still will be 😂

Hahah ikr, I said something similar on another show, I have no idea how the actors/actress don't get all hot and bothered shooting those types of scenes, true professionalism 😂same wish this continued forever, hopefully angst is quick

100%, the kisses were great, very intense for cdrama standards

Agree totally with WZS, and yeh shadow love in the novel crown prince is an annoying problem, especially when he becomes emperor really hoping they don't go down that route. And yeh secrets revealed in ep 29, I'll definitely let you know how 30, 31 and 32. Previews of 30 and 31 tonight as well so I'll have a better idea and let you know. Wedding and romance is nice so why ruin it. I'll definitely let you know though, hopefully ends at 32. Express should be around ep 32/33 or the day after anyway so worse case we can skip ahead see when its properly resolved.

Yeh ikr, like trash talking his own people as their agent is crazy. And same, I heard he's a big time producer but I swear he's only had one or two hits ages ago and is just piggybacking of that the whole time.

I'm same as you, I hate noble idiocy, it's always for the dumbest reasons just to create angst. And lets not forget she should know by know ML is really strong, like he can take care of himself, why hurt him just to protect him when he doesn't need it. But we won't judge too quick, see what actually happens first the writers may surprise us. But you're right this all is left for way too late, should have happened before marriage. Since they already know the truth about each other, why drag it on.I'll definitely let you know, I'll be able to see the previews for 30 and 31 tonight, then 32 tomorrow so will get a better idea of what happens and let you know and obviously after I watch them eps I'll do the same. WZS so delusional it's funny, for someone seemingly so smart and knowledgeable with all those books, he's really stupid sometimes when it comes to FL, who he supposedly knows best. Like if he thinks any of this will work he's crazy.

Haha really does feel illegal, they kisses are intense, don't want the honeymoon phase to end. And ikr Mei si is funny as, probably wishing he could have his own honey moon phase with snake lord 😂

Same thing going on in WDBTD, obsessed 2ml hurting ML and FL to get her for himself, at least in Shadow love which we're both watching, the soldier of the general with the crush seems to have backed off and realized his mistakes (sorry about other drama talk everyone, no need to panic). I'm with you, I think because the scene before was of WZS saying to ML how FL will sneak out at night to meet him, I think it's his doing that she's in pain. Especially, because this is the start of the scene where he peaks at them kissing when she returns.

100% his agency carried by like 3-4 big names and thats all, if they all left he would be left with nothing.

Not sure about why she wants to leave, she says its because she can't get over what he did/their secrets, but once she walks away form him begging her to stay, she secretly cries and looks really hurt, so I feel like its some noble idiocy, out of character for her to leave him especially like you said they both have secret and it seems they have resolved the misunderstandings so why leave him. I believe noble idiocy maybe from a threat by WZS. Definitely strange about the alliance, especially since it seemingly happens quite quickly. Big brother and his little helper we saw in the most recent episode, that disciple that called ML a traitor, I doubt they would ever work with demons, so must be part of their plan, unless they already defeated big brother but that would be quite quick. Same here, I hope divorce talk is 30 or 31 and ends quickly, no time for that nonsense. Theres a picture which shows a timeline of major relationship events that someone posted in MDL, it shows marriage in 24, in 29 it says there is a Cold War, then it shows another major event in ep 32, I'm hoping this is not divorce but a reconciliation. Like you said, a lot to do, technically the black smoke main villain isn't even resurrected yet. And I know they want to destroy chang an but we still don't know how, they must have some kind of plan that needs perforation, so we can't be wasting too much time on relationships angst.

At least we got some hotness and cuteness to come before the angst, enjoy it while it lasts 😂 funny they included a scene of her having a swore waist which was also mentioned din the novel due to their night time activities 😉

Bai jing ting in destined was quite popular already and had a few hits before. Also LOTFG general was arguably Cheng Lei's very first big role as main lead (I don't count My journey to you, as even though he outperformed the others I think, it was promoted based in Esther Yu and Zhang Linghe). Also LOTFG was an s production not s+. Again, this isn't hate towards the actors I think they're great, and there's also a lot that goes into deciding what's an s+ tier and not that I have no idea about. So its not just because of the actors they could have not liked the script as much as others, thought other dramas had a better chance of doing well, thought advertisers would like other dramas over this, a lot of decisions. Also check out the reply above with the follower stats I think thats really interesting. But Cheng Lei is getting way busier now, we know he's filming Mo Li which is s+ so thats great for him.

Yeh it's very surprising, us as international viewers sometimes don't realize. Thanks for that info btw, I didn't know that! Same here glad they're both getting main leads roles and popularity rising. We know Cheng Lei is in Mo Li which is s+ tier so excited for him in that.

For northward I watched it because I wanted to see Bai Lu in something different and I wasn't watching much at the time. Personally, I found it good, but not something I had to watch. And thats ok, the story just didn't totally connect with me like you said, that I thought it was great or amazing. Never the less, it is commendable that she is willing to step away from idol dramas and try serious roles, it's what all actors that want to be taken seriously should do at some point. Like you said nothing wrong with idol dramas and some can be very good like TWD or like the double (also like you said not sure I would classify the double as an idol drama but it also does fit as one I think). And there's serious historical dramas like joy of life if they want to stay doing historical dramas but not idol dramas. But yes I hope xu kai is able to have more control over his scripts if he doesn't already, I know Yue Zheng promise him and Bai lu their own independent studios which he never delivered. I agree, some of Xu Kai's recent scripts have not been good in my opinion, nothing wrong with his acting but the scripts haven't been it. And as someone who is an established in the industry now, he should be able to pick his own scripts and should be able to tell which scripts are good or at least have potential.

You're right I misread the air calendar heartbreak at 30.
Ep 28 preview: ML casts some kind of spell inside the place he works that opens some kind of portal, the back smoke escapes the dmeon market and goes to where ML is, seeming to attack him. Seems like ML casts some spell or formation to find the dmeon market and is getting closer. Also while investigating a case ML is lead to ruyi pavilion I think where FL is, inside FL's room is a dmeon (I think her lady help the fox) in their animal form and WZS there to help. FL stops him form going in her room saying everything ok, but WZS purposely makes a noise that leads ML to force his way in and it cuts when he enters (I'm guessing WZS made a noise on purpose so ML would see him in a room alone with FL and be jealous the annoying dude).
ep 29: Where the angst starts. ML leaves FL at night saying he has something to do and will explain later. ML has found the portal/entry into the demon market. He is seemingly activating it or doing something towards the entrance which is powers, a spell or something when FL appears, she tells him do you choose him/it (not sure what she referring to exactly) or me. Tbh she seems really sad in this scene and seems like she's begging ML to choose her. ML hesitates but continues with whatever spill he is doing targeting the entrance, FL then brings out her whip and briefly fights ML, short fight that ends with ML putting his sword at FL's neck. So this is where they fully found out about each other and angst starts. I'm hoping its quick the angst, only thing that worries me is in that divorce scene I saw, ML mentions that changxi palace and demon market are already in and alliance and they have cleared the misunderstandings from 18 years ago but she still wants a divorce, that makes me feel like the angst and Cold War will get dragged on as it seems the plot has progressed a bit with the truth out but still she wants to leave him but I hope not, I hope it doesn't last long, the show has proven in ep 23 it can fit a lot in when it wants to.
