Xiang Liu and You (Yes, You)

 Kokuto:

Well, apparently they just screwed YaoLiu entirely in that scene, so , I'm not entirely surprised.

They are determined to downplay this relationship and yet, this ship is still getting a chunk of support.

 Kokuto:

They could have gone the tried and true way of vampire / Dracula lore, and had her drink the blood from his chest.

Your head is in the gutter again, Ko :-). Or is it my head that is the problem?????

 plor20:

I just really think TH is a terrible screen writer and the director herself didn't intervene which is unfortunate.

I haven't liked any of the drama where TH was the screenwriter for. I do think that censorship plays a role beyond her potential limitation as a screenwriter. Can't have our FL come across as being flighty now, can we? Made a promise to one man, but "emotionally cheating" on him.

 plor20:

And XY ghost monologue, I would axed that ? out.

They didn't do it in the best way.

 H19279:

The production team deliberately degrade XL and XY's itimacy and inhibit the development of their affection

And they failed spectacularly because the other ship is the only thing being inhibited now :)

Ahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

In c entertainment, theres a huge emphasis on the order of actors and actresses are listed. JC being listed after Yangzi is like a passive aggressive comment on how important his role is. They didn't even bother to list Deng Wei name despite being the SML..?

Ahhh! TJC did get billed as "special performance" I believed. It's a reflection of his standing in the industry. However,  it's also a reflection of the importance of the Xiang Liu character. He may not be the male lead like CX or the "male lead" who ended up with the female lead. But we know that he's the male lead of XY's heart :-). Without XL, LYF would not be as memorable as it is.

And it looks like there will be more of that to come in season 2 :-(

 plor20:

Yep! I agree!

Speaking of who's the actual male lead, someone posed this question on the main comment section. She's confused because she feels like XL is the male lead. Tried as they might, they still cannot sink this ship. Someone need to go out there and offer a neutral response before she get mislead.

It's also a reflection on how much they got paid. TJC got paid the most out of all the MLs, second only to Yang Zi.

 Niki Demonix:

I mean why did they even need a dub actor for Jing all he said was "Okay"! ?‍♀️?

Found this randomly while looking for a specific post lmaoooooo

I miss Niki. Hope she comes back for season 2

Well, it certainly wouldn't have been as memorable to me. ;p

I had heard that.  I also heard that Tan Jian Ci also footed the bill for his studio's Xiang Liu Little Theater 18 episodes, which we've seen 9 of.  I think he was also the first to release those gorgeous Xiang Liu 'poster' images created by his studio, even before the show debuted, I think.  I think ZWY released a set for CX, but it was way after the show ended.
