Ha ha. I like that scene too .The two of them were so good to make that ordinary scene seem something more.
I think it had to do with censorship? It was already a stretch for them to get JXN's rebirth to pass with the "novel rewrite". I guess they can't add an additional character to it lol. Makes me a little worried about how they're going to adapt the rebirth in Royal Princess, since both the leads have a do-over and it's a must to keep both rebirths.
In Blossom seems interesting and there have been rumors of it airing soon.
I heard they finished the reshoots for GH so now it's probably waiting to pass censorship. At least it didn't get buried. Have you seen the teasers for Fox Spirit Matchmaker? That looks high quality and it's rumored to be coming out in April.
Not your imagination. He lost a lot of weight for this character to look older than his age.
The character is kind of sickly too. He's definitely a method actor, gotta admire the dedication to realism. Someone analyzed a scene in this drama where his character spit up blood and it looks like it was truly coming up his esophagus and out his mouth, not just spitting out blood that he's been holding inside his mouth lol.

Aw thank you :) I'm mostly waiting only for his dramas to air. I second the rec for Princess Royal because it is similar to SOKP in vibes, but unfortunately not coming any time soon.
He dubbed himself and he made his voice deeper to sound older. So don’t be surprised if in his future drama,…
I really liked seeing a different side to ZLH's acting so I liked his character and romance with the female lead. It was more on the sweeter side. There were only two kiss scenes and although they were pretty tamed, I felt like there was a certain sexiness to them, if that makes any sense. The second couple might be more your cup of tea because they have that dark romance vibe going on, but the director never gave them any kiss scenes, even though they had a "bath" scene 😂 I also really liked the cinematography and fight scenes, it's very cinematic if you're into visuals. All the characters are interesting and there's a hot guy around every corner so plenty of eye candy if nothing else lol. I just told someone else that to avoid the bad open ending, I would watch up to 42:28 of the final episode and then stop to at least get a conclusive ending for the main lead's romance. The last five minutes after that turns it into a giant cliffhanger. If you've got nothing else keeping you busy, it doesn't hurt to give it a try.

Yeah besides the romantic aspect, I really liked the extra details from the book. YL's story was consistent without much changes. In the past life, ZZ killed himself after finding out JXN made the deal with XW to spare his life. He also had a do-over like JXN, and their break up scene was a lot different in the book. His mother never died in the second life. JXN came over to their house and his mother treated her to dumplings. It was revealed then that JXN and ZZ both have memories of their past lives' events. Knowing that her actions caused everything that happened including his mother's death, they both couldn't carry on a relationship with that on their conscience.
The drama also took book details and exchanged them between XW and ZZ's characters. Like there was none of the celebration dinner or date in the snow with ZZ on her birthday. XW found out her birth date and cooked her a bowl of longevity noodles(equivalent to a birthday cake) and had his servant delivered it to her without telling her it was from him. She ended up thinking it was from the princess and didn't find out until later that it was from him. And after the break up scene in the drama, when XW hugged and comforted her, that whole line about her finding someone more suitable was actually the break up speech between her and ZZ in the book. So ZZ was the one who actually told her to find someone more suitable if not better. Also, in the "kill me" scene, XW didn't force her to stab him. She did it all on her own. The speech was pretty much the same and he gave her the knife, but she basically got so fed up that she stabbed him, then went off to drink with the princess and YFY like nothing happened. So she was also pretty crazy herself 😂

Below are links to the machine translated novel version and the fan translation. I'm not sure how far the fan translation got since this scene is much later near the end like in the drama. If it's machine translated then it would be hard to understand what was implied. Basically, they had to keep up this lovers act for a few nights, not just once. Every time, her noises would make him horny so he ended up making out with her. Then it was implied that he went as far as shoving his 🍆 into her mouth but stopped himself when he noticed her eyes started tearing up. The drama cut out and toned down quite a few spicy scenes lol.

I read the Vietnamese translated version so not sure how the English one is. I think the fan translation is still in progress. It was good to get more details about certain events(particularly ZZ's arc), but overall, I like the drama's characterization of the main leads better. I read it before watching the drama and didn't feel the chemistry even though things were a lot spicier. I even got a bit of icky vibes from XW when it came to the romance in the novel. But in the drama, I love everything about him, even his murderous hobo tendencies, which doesn't exist in the novel.
I did like that he was more dangerous in the novel though. He was perfectly in control of himself when he turned stabby, was very good at martial arts, and was the one who xxxx in the end. (Not sure if you've finished yet, so I don't want to include any spoilers). Oh and he also very bluntly opposed JXN's father when he didn't approve of them. When papa Jiang was schooling him about being too old for his daughter, he clapped back about how she was mistreated growing up and that if papa Jiang couldn't raise her well then he will raise her for him 😂
For those of you who generally prefer happy endings, would you still recommend MJTY as a worthwhile watch? I haven't…
I think it's definitely worth watching for the visuals and fight scenes. My advice is when you get to the final episode, stop yourself from watching the last 5 minutes, at the 42:28 minute mark to be specific, and the story can end satisfactorily there. Watching any further will turn it into a frustrating/sad open ending.

If you noticed, in the flashback 4 years ago when they were on their way to the capital and XW introduced himself to JXN, his voice was a higher pitch because the character was supposed to be younger and ZLH was meticulous about that detail. MJTY was a live audio recording and I think it still sounds pretty nice, especially when he does the soft whispery love voice lol.
It's the first time I've seen it directly in the front row though so it gives me some hope. DYX's drama is in the second spot and there's rumors that it's air dropping soon. So hopefully FSM will be coming after that.
Wrap up video is finally here! I'm so happy with the color grading, it's similar to TBoY like I wished. I hope they will keep this version in the final edit. Looking forward to final trailer's release. http://xhslink.com/42H8BB
This came after the cave scene. So chronologically it was the cave forced kiss, then stab scene, then held hostage, then hand stab scene.

XW found out her birth date and cooked her a bowl of longevity noodles(equivalent to a birthday cake) and had his servant delivered it to her without telling her it was from him.
