Yeah, I agree. I just Googled and he’s styled better in Way Back into Love. He has his hair down there.

We get it, the director thinks men look sexy when they’re straight out of the shower... I feel like there are a few too many scenes with ML and wet hair though :/ And I feel like it comes across as corny rather than sexy! But maybe that’s because the characters seem more like they’re out of a teenage drama than an adult one (I mean an adult one like Love is Sweet, where there was quite clear sexual tension).

I still don’t quite find the ML that attractive yet. Although often if the acting and character are swoony I will change my opinion quickly enough, haha. But I hope my opinion will change when I watch it. I am still only watching clips, as i would like to binge on this one!

Wahhh! I just saw a clip of the confession scene in ep 11 and for real started tearing up. It was so emotional! He’s so gentle and sincere.

Although I read somewhere she plays hard to get after the confession *rolls eyes.* They should avoid all the drama. PYHOMS and Love O2O had almost no melodrama and were still perfect to watch!

I remember thinking Xing Fei and the rest of the cast looked very fresh faced in PYHOMS. You didn’t notice their make up. I can see what Vi Dao means about Xing Fei looking caked in make up here though. They should fire the make up artist!

Back to the drama (which I’ve only watched clips of) and I like the two leads though. I love the scene where ML tells FL she’s doing her job well and she feels validated by his support. It’s very sweet. Their chemistry will outshine the bad make up! Yeah!

That’s good. I’m definitely going to watch it anyway, there’s such good chemistry, and I love Xing Fei. Just waiting for the episodes to build up so I can binge!

Haven’t watched first ep yet, just clips on YouTube. The amount of make up on the ML is distracting me! The dark eyebrow pencilling, heavy foundation and the shimmering eyeliner is taking me away from the acting :/

He has cheesy facial expressions! It’s when he’s being playful. He’s much better when he’s depressed or angry, haha. I really like him, but weirdly, only as a SML. Not too interested in seeing him as ML.

Put your head on my shoulder. It’s a really sweet romance.

This is brilliant! I’m weeks behind everyone, and I was one of those who complained about the FL/SML romance and the main romance only appearing at the end, but that foundation is really important for their character arcs. And they have solid characters who are believable and therefore when tragedy of happiness arrives, it packs an emotional punch. (Good characters not easy - see Blooms of Ruyi Pavillion for inconsistent characters! Grrr!).

I admit they montage the FL and SML a bit too much, but you can skip those.

I love love Lin Fang. I don’t mind he can’t do Kung fu, as he’s so dignified and smart without it. I did see an interview where Yu Menglong said he hurt himself doing a fighting scene, so he doesn’t like choosing dramas where he has to fight anymore. But he does well without fighting scenes. And fair enough, as I can see how they’re stressful for an actor.

Yu Menglong can’t do romance scenes well (stiff frozen kisser alert), but he does the build up to the romance and the unwavering unrequited love very well, so that makes it even. I don’t expect a huge deal, that’s the secret to loving him, and love him I do!

I’ve seen the FL twice now and I think she manages to have great chemistry with her MLs. Very much looking forward to her next drama with Hu Yitian!

They say:

Don’t worry.
For everything you always have me.
Even though you are in prison, you cannot forget to eat.

I wonder if the box is from Duke An though.

Woooooh! Wu Bo Song! Despite being given a lame role with almost no character development in ALSB I still managed to really love him! He has such a likeable demeanour and a great smirk! I’ll give this a go even though it’s definitely not my genre.

The caption says XJ being used as a human punching bag. And WBQ says to XJ ‘Did I make a mistake while training?’ I don’t think they’re having a proper fight, I think it might be after his dad dies and WBQ maybe punishes himself by training day and night? That’s my guess.

I think FR is in a wedding dress when she’s in the coffin. She certainly is when they’re carrying her about.

I’ve just been looking at a Chinese review, and I don’t know where they get their information from, but the scenes look accurate. It says that Fu Rong gets taken by that Marquis who she had a childhood engagement with. He hides her in a coffin and XJ and Prince An team up to find her. But once XJ has found her he hands her to Prince An and faces down the rest of the bad guys alone.

I don’t know about you, but that sounds better to me than FR misunderstanding XJ again! Also, we know the leads can do epic romance, so the tear jerking commence!

So happy to hear this!!! Will watch asap!

If you loved the main couple in LYX you’ll like this. Story and characters are far from perfect, but the chemistry is still there!

Thanks for the heads up about Jiu Liu Overlord. I’ve been undecided about that. I’ve watched clips but it looks boring. Also, I don’t know if it’s because I loved Love is Sweet so much, but BL with Lai Yi was giving me the heebie jeebies.

Have you compared it to the FL cheek kiss in In a Class of her Own, or the leaning in pretend kissing in Legend of White Snake? I mean, compared to those this kiss can win awards. Actual lip to lip contact! Haha. Joking aside, it bummed me out too. What a waste of chemistry.

So, I didn’t realise I liked this show so much until I found myself bingeing it until 4am :o haha.

I loved Legend of Yun Xi, and I was always sad that there were so few scenes between the ML and FL because they were so cute together. I think ZZH does a brilliant job of looking at JJH with such intensity and adoration that it makes me melt! I’m so glad they’re just giving me oodles of OTP scenes. And the second couple are sweet too. Plot isn’t what we’re here for, so I’m not too critical of it. And they have built the side characters enough for me to not skip their scenes, so that’s a win for them! I fast forward if I’m really bored and I haven’t been doing that!

I watch c-drama and this is a stand out drama with the best chemistry and most grown up relationship I’ve seen (apart from TMoPB but that’s a costume drama). The leads are amazing actors. I’ve seen bossy male lead hundreds of times, but LYX has a maturity, calmness and charisma that I don’t see often. You genuinely believe he’s competent with a killer intellect.

So depressed I have to go back to statue kissing, idol actors and cheerful yet clumsy female leads :’(

That was an emoji, but it came out as a question mark! I meant ‘oooh :o’
