Beautiful description! Makes me want to go back and re-watch. Done with your exams? :D

I don't think so, because right after Wei Ying says A Yuan is his son, he "treats" Lan Zhan to a meal (which Lan Zhan pays) and during the meal, A Yuan repeatedly addresses Wei Ying as "Ge Ge" which means brother. I think Lan Zhan knows Wei Ying is just teasing him.

YES!!!!!

What an amazing vision Ms Yang has! Bravo to the CQL team.

Essentially, Ms Yang said the first actor she matched was Xuan Lu for the Jiang Yanli character, and the last one was Wang Yibo for Lan Wangji. They also left the decision of confirming the 2 main leads to the last. She saw Xiao Zhan who was relatively very low profile at that time, very suitable to play Wei Ying because of the sunny smile Xiao Zhan has. She says he fits the character perfectly. She recommended Wang Yibo to play Lan Wangji twice. When Yibo came in for the audition, she said, straight away she knew he was Lan Wangji because Yibo has that cold look without the arrogance, which is very close to the character.

After this drama, if you're like us, you'll crave for more. Then you'll have the anime, novel, audio, fanfics, fanvids, fanarts, spin-offs etc to go to. Otherwise, you'll feel there's a black hole (as someone suggested here) within you. You'll feel void.

Is it good or bad? I'm confused.

Watch this first, ie. live action.

A video on how the CQL team, in particular Ms Yang Xia, selected the cast. This is a very eye opening video explaining what she saw in each actor and how she made the selection. She really has very discerning eyes and a Midas touch. Unfortunately this video has not been subbed yet, but nonetheless, a valuable insight:

However, having seen your lists, I have second thought. You are watching pretty serious stuff (like I used to), and I'm not sure if this is your cup of tea.

Yes, this may be the best decision you make for 2019 XD. Have fun! We do here.

Yeah, and then this: https://youtu.be/tunbAWCTbrg
Crazy teenagers! There are so many of his videos on Youtube when he was with the Korean boy band. Yibo is just unhumanly good looking. My god! XD

Or maybe it's just a ruse? So that in future when he's with Xiao Zhan, we won't think too much of it when they exchange gazes at each other; we may just take it as, "This is just Yibo's thing". This way, he can protect Xiao Zhan's reputation, even when he himself can't hold on to himself. XDXDXD. (I don't know what I'm talking about; my imagination just runs wild - all Yibo's fault. LOL!)

Imagine if Yibo does this gesture (kissing) to Xiao Zhan. What would Xiao Zhan do? (I think he may faint. XD) And what would your reaction be?

It's as if, if he doesn't come out with some outrageous stuff everyday, his butt itches. XD. Wang Yibo, Wang Yibo (shaking my head).

Comparing him to Xiao Zhan, what a world of differences! In Xiao Zhan's latest appearance, he was so cautious, humble, polite and modest. It almost aches me to see him taking all the steps to ensure nothing goes wrong. And here we have Yibo, couldn't wait to make us crazy! XD.

How can such two very different people, together, make such amazing chemistry, and make us want more of that chemistry?

Don't we love him the way he is!

This Yibo is really badass XD: https://twitter.com/i/status/1196106796840165376
Sigh! What are we going to do with him? He's the craziest and most adorable celebrity I know.

Especially with girls. When talking to girls, his answers are usually curt and likely to be one-worded. XD

Good for you! Way to go! XD

Isn't that a beautiful phrase to express the hole we're in in Chinese? 走火入魔 (zou huo ru mo). Only 4 characters and it says everything to the point - literally meaning "Running into the fire, entering into the demonic world". They use this phrase a lot in Chinese wuxia stories. So maybe it's good to know it. :))
