Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao’s Story and Romance

 mparthur:

ZWY is another one.  Viewers weep for him when he expresses his sorrow.  

Oh, yes! He definitely is. First time watching him as well together with TJC and they are both phenomenal ???

Indeed ~

Will be planning to watch his drama, Under the Skin, after LYF S1 ends.

That’s a very good one too. Detective and great chemistry of bromance. I discovered TJC through that drama, and I am impressed so far of his acting. Although he has been in this field for a long time, in C drama, there are too many male actors. So hopefully through LYF, more people will discover him.

Thanks for this discussion thread and those who share valuable information about the novel. It gives more depth and understanding of XY and XL’s tragic love story. IMO, XL really loves XY so much that his sacrifices for her, he doesn’t even want her to know because he doesn’t want her to be sadden with grief. He knew she will grief for him very much, hence he erased all memories. And he kept the last hidden message probably in hope after many years, she will no longer remember him and live a full happy life with Jing, and if she finds it, maybe it will be a good memory for her to keep. I do feel it’s so cruel as well not allowing XY to love him or know all that he had done, but maybe that’s the only way a demon snake know how to protect his love one. I have a strong gut feel that season 1 will end with XL’s death.

ah he can't die yet, cos then they all die lol he needs to be alive to keep her alive and to keep TSJ alive , see he did as much as TSJ did to help CX secure the political alliance for the throne.

Oh I watched Under The Skin first cos that was his big breakout last year, and seeing all the hype for LYF filming and his role, I went to read the book. The book doesnt tell us his thoughts but man seeing him show us how XL feels, he really slayed.

 I really hope to see him in a another xianxia as a ML and wuxia too cos i dont really watch moderns 

Oh yes, from an idol to acting. I really feel that he nailed it in every role he has been given. Even some of his earlier works who didn’t have much recognition, it was really good acting. I heard he has some modern rom-com coming up, one with Zhou Ye and one with Wang Chu Ran. But also hopefully his Wu Xia’s detective drama get air too. 

Sorry to take this space to talk so much about TJC, but just super impressed by how he has portray XL and FFB. The subtle facial emotions tell so much, and very natural. And when I read the background story about XL shared here, I felt it make so much sense on his ambivalent towards XY.

Heard a lot of good things about Under the Skin so will definitely watch it. I have a watch buddy who's also a simp for TJC.. haha.

Yeah, I think after LYF, he'll be more recognized.

Same! Someone posted on the main LYF page of an upcoming political ancient drama, Schemes of the Official Descendant, with both of them as leads. I don’t think drama and casting have been officially confirmed, but it’s promising!

Ah, I think this is the Di Mou one? Last February, the author of the novel wanted to cast TJC and YZ. I think the recent rumor for the ML now is Gong Jun. But I hope seeing him and YZ on LYF, the casting person would still stick to the original one, TJC and YZ. They deserve another chance to be leads in a drama ~

“I remember someone telling me, XL didn't even allow XY to love him. Only he can love her, but not vice versa.”

Really? I didn't get that from today's episodes... I felt XY was being a little cruel to him… maybe I’m reading too much into it.
