This type of intimacy, purely physical, (is not enough) for a compelling love story. You need this process of getting to know each other, of living together, understanding each other, getting closer in an emotional, psychological sense. Otherwise... it's a void. It's like going to the end of the book without starting the story and arriving in the middle. If I can explain what I mean.

PS: I watched the drama: Unshakable Faith, with Liu Xue Yi and Peng Xiaoran. It's a spy drama (and definitely not a romance), but... the moments between the two, the fights, leave a sense of flirtation, including a fight where she encourages him, we see this understanding between them. There wasn't a single kiss between them, but it makes us happy with the beauty of their interaction. (And "Against the Current" goes much further, because it's a "romance," in the perfect sense of the word.)

That's right. It’s a scene where it’s as if they now truly "know" each other—as husband and wife.

Thank you! I completely agree with you. There were many flirtatious moments that shaped how we view their relationship—moments that convey a sense of intimacy and poetry at the same time. That is truly interesting.💓😊

I didn't understand what you meant. 🤔

This drama is definitely a romance (and better than many). We see intensity in the relationship and in the process of discovery.
I don't like dramas where there are so many hugs and kisses but—because it feels like the characters don't even really know each other—we don't sense the layers of their interaction. But here, in *Against the Current*, I feel that depth (to the point where it feels like a real relationship)..💓💓💓💓💓💓😊

I saw a clip somewhere (and Lin Jin Qi and Lan Xiang were dressed in white and actually kissing). Is that AI? (Tan Song Yun might have thrown people off the scent and not revealed anything more... which is why she said there would only be one kiss. What a married couple these two are!)

😁😶‍🌫️

Indeed. That's right.

All of this is very pragmatic. I want the love story that was promised. And it is happening. May it continue, even if the ending is sad. May it be a story of true love.

#刘学义早该升咖了#

Liu Xueyi really wants to rise this time; the journey has been very difficult. Back then, Qin Junjie, Cheng Yi, and Ren Jialun, who starred in the same drama as 'Qin Yun Zhi,' all became hugely popular thanks to this drama, but after all the twists and turns, it was finally Old Liu's turn. He forced himself to become an old Liu from a young Liu, playing marginal supporting roles in various dramas for years, quietly honing his skills. When she finally got the lead role, it was always full of twists and turns: some had issues with the female lead's screen time, others were low-budget productions, and each time she fell short of becoming a hit. Fortunately, Liu Xueyi persisted enough and never gave up acting. Along the way, isn't it a case of bitterness before sweetness, and sweetness after 🥹 hardship?

#刘学义只有两部待播剧了#

Nowadays, many celebrities like to use all kinds of "X-style handsome guys" to package their looks, but what you know is just so-so, maybe even not eye-catching. But Liu Xueyi is completely different—he's a different kind of tough and handsome vibe. He has the style of a handsome man in early period dramas—clean, sharp, and visually appealing, instantly captivating at first glance. In an environment full of label-type handsome guys, this authentic human handsome guy is especially rare. Now, with only two films waiting to air, anticipation is skyrocketing[期待]。

Commenting on Liu Xue Yi (source: weibo):⬇️

Watch *A Moment But Forever*; despite being a *xianxia* fantasy, it features a strong plot that demanded a great male lead—in fact, Liu Xue Yi won a prestigious Best Actor award for his portrayal of the complex character the fox priest, Yuan Zhong, who undergoes a transformative journey.
P.S.
I watched "What If" too. But in *AMbforever*, he plays a truly central male lead with significant screen time, without overshadowing the female lead. The two of them make a great couple, too.

I think it depends on the type of ending the drama will present.
