somebody PLEASE !! convince me to give it a try knowing that the mm is the same age as my sister and the fl being…
definitely give it a watch!!! i didn't know about the age difference before starting and honestly it didn't stand out to me at all (i thought WXY was in his mid-20s haha). both the FL and ML act out their characters in a very confident/mature way, so there isn't an uncomfortable power imbalance(?) + they have a lovely push-pull dynamic without the usual annoying miscommunication/jealousy tropes
WXY himself said he was very comfortable acting with WJY π he doesn't mind the age gap at all. and offscreen they've mentioned how they had lots of discussions about how to depict the slowburn romantic development between their characters ^^ it's very organic and not awkward
Confused abt wby Netflix lists it as having 30 episodes though...
oh hmm weird π€ i wonder if they're combining the later episodes so they're longer? or maybe they'll have a different release schedule for the last 10
#TheDouble douban score has dropped from 6.9 to 6.6 this after #WangXingyue studio released a video of Xiao Hengβs…
ugh yeah idk what his studio was thinking releasing that b-cut π i keep seeing a lot of scathing remarks on weibo and honestly... it's understandable. why do they have to disrespect the /canon/ happy ending
I have seen two of Wu Jin Yan dramas (Something Just Like This & My Bargain Queen). In Something Just Like This…
i avoid her modern dramas for the same reason π i love her acting for historical/costume drama scripts much better haha. definitely check out story of yanxi palace if you enjoyed the double!!!
So I've started rewatching the drama and I still don't understand what made shen yurong kill his wife? We saw…
you'll see his intentions fleshed out more as the drama progresses! but to summarise without spoiling too much: he's got an obsession (that stemmed from childhood) about wanting more power so he can punish corrupt officials. it sort of becomes a self-righteous campaign given that he's willing to corrupt himself in order to do so...

wait nvm I just realised this is a callback to the zhennv hall episodes lmaoo
yeah so many cp fans kept making jokes about the lantern thing HAHA the comment sections under some XH/XFF videos are full of dangerously horny people ππ i still can't believe that the cast regularly send fanworks to each other
