That's the thing, because they're unknown, nobody cares what is shown. But in this case, high traffic star leads…
Directors will have to learn to be even more creative with how they film romantic scenes from now on. Maybe also film two versions so they're prepared if anything isn't acceptable, they'll have a back up to still make a good drama.
How was the reaction of cnetz when they saw the newest leaked bath scene? Furious? I'm so angry I want to cry…
They were angry during ep 20 when they realized they weren't getting their bath scene, but they're just accepting it for what it is now. Nothing else can be done since what's cut is already cut. Good thing the leads are still able to convey the emotions even with the missing scenes, so we just go on watching with expectations that nothing will be shown anymore. Maybe we'll be surprised somehow. Just be prepared that tomorrow's scene might look ridiculous again if one moment XD's lip is fine and the next there's a bloody cut on it (seems like he might have forced a kiss on her and she bit him. The drama's alternative to what happened in the novel).

I don't understand what was the standards for what to cut was either. I feel like they were in a rush to get it greenlit to air so they just went ahead and over-cut things. Like, there was no reason to cut the extended post-wedding kiss. We still saw them kiss in a faraway shot anyway.
I don’t understand why they cut the kissing out, there is another drama airing on same channel(iQIYI ) with…
That's the thing, because they're unknown, nobody cares what is shown. But in this case, high traffic star leads to more attention(sensitive drama theme), so cut cut cut! Anywho, I wished this was submitted for approval before Fairy and Devil blew up. It might have gotten the greenlight without so much being cut out.
For funsies, I pieced together how the bathtub sequence maybe would've been shown.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Awda6sW8-TQ&ab_channel=LLUpdates
First, in the latest tidbit released, Yinlou said she liked him just because he's him, thinking Tongyun was behind her. Xiao Duo is moved, kisses her 😘. Then Cao Chunang was looking for Xiao Duo but couldn't find him in his room. He then probably entered Yinlou's room to look and when Xiao Duo saw someone coming, he probably jumped into the tub to cover Yinlou from view since she's naked. Cao Chunang saw that she was taking a bath, so he left quickly. You can see now Xiao Duo has water droplets on his chin from the following scenes. This is probably when the conversation about him not being a real eunuch gets addressed and Xiao Duo tells Yinlou he wants to marry her. Before that happens, he won't do anything to offend her and said: Don't worry, I won't violate you. Yinlou said: But I want to violate you. Kiss again 😘.
I just saw it too!!! Omg it's so hot!!! He suddenly kissed her 😭😭 sneaking behind her during her bath, she…
Yeah, I understand it too. Just wished they filmed it differently so the topic could be addressed since it messed up the drama’s trajectory so much with the cutting.

This is how one cnetz figured the sequence of the scene went based on all the different tidbits released: First, in this latest one, YL said that regardless of whether Xiao Duo is a eunuch or not, she likes him. Xiao Duo is moved, kiss 😘. Then Eunuch Cao pushed the door open, and we heard the sound of breathing and water (the part in the drama when he was looking for XD in his room, but the camera then pans to YL's closed door). When Xiao Duo saw someone coming, he got into YL's tub to hide in desperation (I actually think he jumped in to cover her from Eunuch Cao, because his back was to the door). Eunuch Cao saw that she was taking a bath, so he left quickly. The following scene from the tidbit is connected, Xiao Duo got out of the water, with drops of water on his face(you can see water droplets on his chin), and said: Don't worry, I won't violate you. YL said: But I want to violate you. Kiss again 😘. Then this probably led to the flashback scene in the drama about how she thought he was a eunuch and he said his brother was, he didn't say he was.
This was a major plot point that needed to be properly addressed, not cut down to an afterthought.
Also, the bts released weeks ago when WHD and YQ were rehearsing a kiss scene, where she was wearing a pink animal hoodie and he was in a black jersey, looked like it was from the scene when she was sitting in his lap on the porch of their riverside home. The backdrop and the positioning of their bodies looked the same.
If you go into this drama from a critical POV, then she makes some valid points. But if you are in the mood for…
That is what is always hardest for me to find to satisfy my taste. I love romance Cdramas of all genres, but have low tolerance for low quality production and cringe acting. Most dramas releasing lately are either, well made overall, but hardly any romance or with bad stereotypes of FLs and overloaded with artificial sugar. So something like Forbidden Love is the perfect balance for me.
AvenueX has shared her impression on Unchained Love here, doesn't sound good:https://www.youtube.com/watch?app=desktop&v=M6b_2AThahI
If you go into this drama from a critical POV, then she makes some valid points. But if you are in the mood for a light, escapist romance, where love trumps all, kind of world, then I think this drama has delivered so far (minus the disappointing cuts made). What makes it stand out is that it has nice cinematography/direction and isn't cheaply made, compared to the general amount of historical-romance dramas released daily. Plus, the actors are good at their roles and delivers what they're asked from the script.
