P.S can anybody tell me why PanPan kept grabbing HuiHui by the back of the neck? Is this a normal thing to do?
haha yes huihui definitely calling the shots!
Yes QianYu claimed that was the reason, but I believe she made that reason up only when they were arguing about it, to make it seem like choosing TianLu was "doing it for her and Shou". Unfortunately her actions don't co-relate to that though, because she intentionally went behind Shou's back, and then when he asked who she picked she wouldn't tell him (she was smiling).. it was all a game to illicit a reaction from Shou, but it backfired. She was trying to make him jealous (and show feelings of more than friendship) but instead he felt a betrayal of friendship. Ah well! It is what it is!
Yeah i still skip most puwang scenes but as the episode was short i guess i watched more of their fight haha...
Sometimes the producers have made some episodes only an hour. it always varies. sometimes we get luckier than others. maybe everyone was sleeping and they didn't have enough content lol
I was a bit surprised QianYu changed her story from 'I want to win and Shou has a foot injury' to 'i teamed up with TianLu so that we (Shou & her) had double the chance to win'. I get it that she wanted to express her frustration with Shou but I felt she was gaslighting a bit in their discussion, making him the one "in the wrong" by not picking her for the game (although she told TianLu to pick her which stopped Shou from doing it!) and being upset he does not come to visit her daily in her room. I get it, I get it, she likes him and is acting a bit on emotion, but I'm surprised to see her express herself in this way. Shou wanted a discussion and open communication. QianYu instead opted to upset him to illicit a confrontation. Unfortunately she didn't tell him the real reason she intentionally upset him.
HaoSu: green green green flag. Absolute delight to watch.
Pu Yanyan really showing her diva side and expecting Kelvin to read her mind. *coughs* red flag!
Autumn and Tao still playful but I'm completely unsure whether it can move past the friendship stage.
No real indicators for XiaXia and Vinson's relationship. Doubt any progress there.
Lot of PanPan and HuiHui affection. They seem to be enjoying each others company a lot. :)
Was very impressed with Kelvin and Shou this episode. Both showed great character traits.
vinson running in the room screaming zishu was so funny and qianyu little solo dance is also worth mentioning.…
for me liu yuning was the best part of the long ballad. i agree his journey is incredible. i loved his singing with zhao lusi from many years ago. he is one of the singers i like the most.
Zhang RuoYun doesn't do that many dramas, I think he is recording season 2 of Sword Snow Stride? He is a terrific actor.
Haha i'll tell that to my mum. Yeah look I completely get why you didnt like a dream of splendor. I also didn't love him in the ingenious one. I am totally looking forward to legend of the magnate though! lets see if it lets me down like all the other dramas ive waited for over the past two years ahaha
Oh that's good to know what style you like! if i come across anything good, that I see isn't in your watched list, I'll be sure to let you know! But yes society has changed a lot, and too with it, the nature of story-telling. It's funny because whenever you see a great actor these days, you notice it instantly, because it is so NOT NORMAL for someone to be mesmerizing on screen.
Minglan is one of my mom's favourites. I will check out 'Nothing Gold Can Stay' because I'm interested how that is based on you mentioning it. Have you watched Flourished Peony? I feel like it was a bit of a mix of A Dream of Splendor and Minglan. It had some good moments (the 2nd season wasn't that great - for me I could have stopped after the 1st part).
vinson running in the room screaming zishu was so funny and qianyu little solo dance is also worth mentioning.…
haha well i think qianyu picks tianlu instead of shou for the game partner next week so at least we get them talking about him upset that she picked someone else. hopefully she can actually tell him she came back to the island for him.
i hope you get many haosu moments!
yeah tell me about it - i remember the feeling of not being able to put down a drama and watching at 4am! i haven't had that for 2 years. everything now is mediocre and only passes as entertaining but not enthralling unfortunately!
vinson running in the room screaming zishu was so funny and qianyu little solo dance is also worth mentioning.…
oh yeah i completely forgot about those things! the dance from qianyu impressed shou i think! im curious how it will turn out when she reveals her feelings to him.
haha i think youd be happy if they replaced the hour with only haosu moments 😂
only watching one other series atm, 'why he is still single' on wetv. its somewhat entertaining but not something id recommend as of such 🙂
i honestly didn't notice YanYan getting jealous of HaoSu but she was doing her usual thing to get attention. She…
haha im not surprised. when you have someonwe needing to show their "good side" of their face to the camera at every moment, you know exactly the type of person they are 😄
Jerry makes the funniest moment of the episode when he takes XiaXia to dance and does some thrusting motions. all the islanders laughed so hard.
Vinson gave a full drama-style "i like you, I like you a lot" to XiaXia. I don't recall anyone else on the show saying that so far (may be wrong). Xiaxia seemed to like him saying that, but moreso out of flattery rather than her reciprocating. I doubt she will like him more than a friend.
Ma and SuSu levelling up their relationship yet again. SuSu genuinely smiling happy when being interviewed about their time together. She has caught feelings big time haha
Tao actively trying to express his feelings for Autumn (through writing) and said he regretted not being more forward earlier.
ep 9 part 1 is it me or is xiaopu getting lowkey jealous of how xiao ma and susu interacts with each other? or…
i honestly didn't notice YanYan getting jealous of HaoSu but she was doing her usual thing to get attention. She was way more upset about Kevin not getting the off-island trip and then it carried through to wanting Kevin to drop everything for her which made half the episode about them.
When Autumn started talking seriously to TianLu i was thinking "even though she is rejecting him she has never once been this serious and honest with Tao!" so at the time i thought "clearly Tao and Autumn aren't meant to be because she can't be open with Tao". But then she went to Tao directly after and actually had a honest discussion with him (despite being drained from talking to TianLu). I liked how she made herself clear to Tao that she's not interested in dating on the show, but would like to get to know him after the show when the cameras aren't there. That showed she is not at all comfortable with showing her full self on camera but would like to see if they are compatible in the future.
Oh and I loved that Autumn hinted to Jerry that both him and Vinson are likely not XiaXias type haha
HaoSu was funny and entertaining as usual. So undeniable chemistry now. They just love spending time together and showing their affection through small gestures. Very very sweet. <3
Have watched the latest two episodes now. Truth be told I skip the Puwang and Panhui scenes (i know i know im an outsider on this matter but both those couples have 0 appeal to me).
Loved MaSu steping on the one brick together - was a significant gesture.
Vinson showed as a pretty cool guy. I still think he has 0% chance of XiaXia actually liking him though
My main ship of Tao x Autumn looking not great. Autumn really making as many road blocks as she can for my man. Hate to see it.
MaSu so unexpected and yet somewhat so genuine. It's a really nice thing to see them support each other every step of the way. <3
this ep 7 was so much fun, vinson literally took that block with him, for love he said lol, but i don't think…
Very insightful interpretations of events. You have analysed it well. From what we are shown as an audience, you are absolutely right. I'll be very interested to see whether they are still a couple after the show finishes. :)
Tissue paper of vocabulary is a hit, being used by Tianlu with his face and Pan for Huihui's shoes. It's hilariousthat…
You are right - the toilet paper saga has been awesome!
Qianyu is honestly the girl I like the most. I myself would pursue her if i was on the show. She is reserved and graceful. Shou said he is not interested yet has given her a few mixed signals, and then saying he doesn't care for her (indirectly) was like "yikes!" really like him trying to make a clear line he is not into her. I don't have much hope for them. I hope I am wrong.

Yeah Tutu and Xiyao were a great couple to watch.
