Testing. It's not TJC or Xiang Liu. But have some adorable baby elephants.

It works!  You even got a 3 minute video to post.  NIce.

How adorable!  I love how it keeps running back to Mom!

Ladies, I feel like I walked into some kind of Ex-Jingers Anonymous: "Hello, my name is Elise/nathsketch/luv2bafangurl/MySiFeng, and I am an ex-Jingers". :-)

I know, right?! Is there anyone here that's NOT an ex-Jinger?

I'm going to be looking at these at the end of season 2 so I don't get too sad over the ending and to remind myself none of this is real.

Good remedy but I think since I'm still an pessimistic person. I would just have full gremlins thought ready to shoot down even my TV :/

Considering how much fun they were having in those BtS, it's amazing that they ever got anything filmed.  lol

Thank you, again, Goddess of Gifs!

You really are gifing your way out of this pain, aren’t you?

Those are great. Thanks for preparing all those poisons for us! ❤️

Raises hand.

I was a Never Jinger from the beginning.  To be fair, however, part of that was my very frustrating personal experience dealing with an emotional manipulator like Jing, and part of it was my life long bias against too good to be true characters.

I will confess, however, when I first saw the trailer ... I wasn't that impressed by the look of Tan Jian Ci's XL.  I know! I know!  My only excuse is his face was very small in the trailers.

 Kokuto:

They might be on this site.  I need to check on another browser, but I searched for LYF and XL and this is what came up.  Need to figure out how to sort by date.

I'm 3 days late to this reply. Thanks for the link! <3 

I'm so behind on most of the posts here.

I know exactly what you mean.  I'm replying randomly at this point, as I jump from one thread to another.

 MengXiang:
Omg I went over there... I couldn't help it. You guys kept talking about it....

The kissing pics were very cringe worthy for me. They don't look natural to me.... I wanted to puke. I really regret it.

I can't last two minutes over there. It hurts the eyes.

I have to say their relationship looks fake to me. Like, it comes off as wooden and not genuine at all. Out of all the cdramas I've watched, they're the couple with the least chemistry, like sub zero. And I think it makes sense for YZ to have chemistry with TJC and not DW since they've been friends for a while.

 nathsketch:

I never managed to successfully post videos here :/

We would be very interested. By the way, have you checked our brand new LMLMV thread? https://mydramalist.com/discussions/really-miss-you/121181-love-him-love-his-voice

Oh, I didn't even notice you made a thread for LMLMV. I HAVE to make gifs for this. I need some sweetness lol

Me neither. Read the book so it has always been Xiang Liu. I wasn't going to watch LYF at first, since I try to avoid adaptations of books that I like - particularly since CDrama tend to make some drastic changes. And, like Kokuto, I was not impressed with TJC's pictures as Xiang Liu. He did not look like the Xiang Liu I pictured at all. But I saw a few short clips of his fighting sequence as Xiang Liu and got sucked in. And now, here I am. Writing bloody essays on this website :-)

Goes to show how important good acting is. It can make up for not looking exactly like the part. The combination of acting and costuming and we got a great XL.

 Elise:

I wasn't. I came into the show already a TJC fan, though, but I had seen a bit of DW's previous acting work and thought he needed some more acting classes and experience. After starting to watch, I found the character of Jing quite bland and boring and stereotypical Mr. Nice Guy that FLs usually end up with and shows cram down our throats as being the solid, good choice as a male partner that audiences often fall for because the average viewer usually does end up liking and supporting what is being telegraphed and pushed by the show as being The Good One who will somehow save the FL from her own self-destructive desires for what is bad for her. Only positive is that Jing is such a basic character in the show that DW's limited range is good enough to portray him, and his idol soft pretty boy looks suit the character perfectly.

I was nervous and a bit skeptical as to how TJC would be styled as XL, I knew his acting would be amazing, but there was a lot of criticism online from novel fans when his casting was announced that he was not beautiful enough to play the character as XL was described in the novel. Especially given that other,more famous and widely considered to be peak male beauty actors in China (although, not by me) such as Yang Yang and Xiao Zhan had been wanted for the role. At his first appearance in the show, my worries went away, his portrayal is, imo, definitive.

 HeadInTheClouds:
This whole, "he's just kind" thing is bullshit. He doesn't have drawn and quartered his brother, but to do jack all is not kind, it's idiotic. With such a lack of survival and self-preservation instinct, once Xiang Liu is not there to rescue them, Xiao Yao will be dead if she relies on Jing.

If that leaked script is true and Left Ear isn't with them to protect them......they're definitely not going to last long. For the drama version, my headcanon is that they all died because bandits robbed and killed them on their way to Qingshui Town :)

Isn’t this the official ending? I swear I saw people saying that it wasn’t a tragedy. This is pure bliss. Can’t wait to see season 2! 

 nathsketch:

They told me they’re marshmallows. But those are not for roasting.

I’m sorry, but this needs to be said.

I want to lick his face.

Ok, I’ll go now.

Bye.

Lol my family is asking me why I am grinning... I am not sure how to explain the marshmallow or the fangirl comments.
