What the Shell Lounge Bar (Xiang Liu's Underwater Luxury Lounge)

Because we need a daily dose of heart break ...

Because we need a daily dose of heart break ...

*deep breath in* * deep breath out*

They’re being mean again.

I’m going to choose to see that as XL and chubby having a nice cute little nap together a long time before the last battle and I’m really, really not going to think of that one scene of Simba and Mufasa from the Lion King…

Also it looks like this is the same shot as the one they used for the red ink drop poster so… again, mean!

Edit: Actually this fits in kind of perfectly for my fic so maybe I’m okay with it. ^^”

Endless cycle of emotions. hahahaha

IKR?

Who would have thought Maoqiu would be tearing our hearts out too?  Ok, maybe YOU thought that, but the rest of us, not so much. :)

And now, for something completely different ...

JC-T Studio has been posting these mini-movies about persistence, where he has a cameo, as promotion for his concerts.  They are interesting slice of life bits of film, IMO.  I'm not sure exactly what role Tan Jian Ci had in the stories or the films, but I'm sure he must have had hand in them.  I don't think it is out of line to say that one day, we'll see Tan Jian Ci directing and making his own film or films.

Also, good news!  Xiang Liu isn't dead ... he just went to the Olympics!

All his mini movies for tour so gorgeous 😭

He put so many efforts on everything, very inspiring

It's amazing!  Not just the effort and creativity, but the money.  You can tell how much the concerts mean to him.  Glad he's selling out.  He's got five of these mini-films, I think.

@AH I get that logic but seems like a weak reason... It's seems like they threw in XY in with Jing assassination because they needed SNXY to assassinate her and cut all the attempted from plot so had no where else to put it but including XY is very flimsy logic. 

FFYY doesn't like XY but we don't get any I must kill this person vibe. She loathes and hates Jing and attempted to kill him before. 

TH got tricked and upset but I never got the sense he wanted to kill both Jing and XY. Didn't even look like he made any attempt on XY. He was solely on Jing. I know he agreed to kill her if he could kill Jing but it's weak plot imo.

For the second season the way they changed the story made it seem a bit rushed and the logic for some scenes flimsy...

For example why does XY want to get away from CX at the end? Because he wouldn't let her kill SNXY? I know some say it's because he killed XL but I don't think the drama supports that because we see no scene where she tries to get CX to spare XL after the war starts to show she is concern for XL infront of CX. I may have switched off and missed a scene or two... They completely butchered CX story. It's horrifying. 

As others mentioned as well, the past about being upset for choosing the throne over her was also confusing...  I can't buy that the characters wants the throne more than XY. I am not sure anymore but it's a confusing scene. Why did he have to confess then say he wants the throne.

Go East promotion is gearing up!  They are doing something (a livestream?) with Hello Saturday?  On 7/31  at 1500.  Looks like the August premiere is going to happen!  Just wait till after the Olympics, please!
