I mean it was very strongly indicated even before they got together that CC had a kink like that ( maybe my judgment…
Just a personal note, it sounds like you're confusing your (concerned?) feelings about the actor with the character. Or perhaps you have a personal discomfort with a younger person acting with an older person? Either way, it comes across a bit like you're projecting. I think it's best to keep in mind that Ziyu is/was an adult when he signed on for the project, he read the script and acted the scenes and he approved the bts to be released after the fact. In the latest bts, to me, he at most looked confused and embarrassed about the kink accessories, maybe because he doesn't know much about the topic.
As for the BDSM element in the show, they've toned it down drastically, they toned down a lot of the darker physical CC characteristics actually, so what's being presented in the show is very well revised and presented in a more positive and pleasant light. When it comes to BDSM, as long as both/all parties are consenting, it's all good. And Chi Cheng's proclivity for rough sex was made known to Suowei in previous episodes, before they slept together, so the character of SW is also consenting to CC's particular sexual tastes.
If the show were actually focused on sex, then one could expect them to put more time and effort on detailing things like kink discussion/negotiation/safewords etc, BUT the show is not about that, it's just one facet of CC's character they're touching on to keep in line with the novel, so when it comes to those things, let imagination take the wheel that they're talking about and working things out with each other in the time that passes in the show when we don't see them, just as we've seen SW becoming more relaxed in his first gay relationship during time lapses.
I say all this and I am not even interested in BDSM in fiction or real life, but it doesn't bother me in the show and I think the pacing and the small nods to that part of CC and SW's sex life have been well done.
I am so happy this production knows the importance of a good lighting !
AND LESS MAKEUP. Let's not forget that it's nice to see actual skin and fucking body hair and not porcelain white faces and perfect hair 24/7. It's the little things.
I think there will always be those who like Thai BLs specifically because of the 'permanent' pairing thing (i.e:…
Facts. I don't know how they don't see that people barely take Thai BLs seriously, people actually watch with the mindset of 'just for the hot scenes' and the rest is down the shitter. They need better scripts, more dedicated acting and casting with good and matching chemistry, actors who are suitable to the scripts. Not this 'pick a ship' and 'pick a script' according to how popular they are nonsense they've been doing for so long. So much wasted talent and potential.
Without giving too much away, basically, Chi Cheng and Chengyu had a very um, no boundary sort of relationship. In the novel it hints that they used to fool around as teens and then in uni, Wang Shuo goads them into kissing each other one time, while he was dating CC, but then WS gets jealous because when they kiss, it's actually pretty intense and passionate. He wasn't happy about how close they were/are after that. So it's actually really POSSSIBLE for CJD to include the kiss in the series as a valid part of the story, I just hope we get to SEE it and it's not just implied. It'd be SO HOT 🕯️ _(:з」∠)_
Don't act shocked that China is taking lead position in BL production onky with two BL series and is overcoming…
I think there will always be those who like Thai BLs specifically because of the 'permanent' pairing thing (i.e: I am not one of them, I'd be happy to see even my fave Thai pairs changed up), but China was bound to dominate BL if they ever stepped back into the game, (lo and behold) and those who knew, ALWAYS knew, China > other countries BLs.
Fr i could never i hate slimy things BUT ZIYU HANDLED IT WITH A HAPPY FACE?!?
Snakes are slightly cool to touch (can change a bit depending on the temperature of your hands) and they are really smooth and firm, not slimy at all, and not cold.
Question for the ones who are watching this show! I wanted to wait until all the episodes were out but I gave…
I get you actually, I feel that way about cockroaches 😭 I usually turn away from looking at the screen if anything shows up in a movie or whatever, it's literally the ONLY thing I can't watch (if they're real, CGI doesn't bother me lol). They do feature the snakes quite a bit for the first several eps unfortunately, and real ones too, but MAYBE you can do the old 'put your hand up to block it' and focus on the subtitles action 😂 The show itself is so great, it'd be a shame to miss out, but of course, understandable if you'd rather pass.
Song ideas: Golden brown by the stranglers, everything by the black skirts, ultraviolence by lana del rey, do…
Yeah he acted in Elite, but he's a musician primarily, although he still acts sometimes. "Btw i could really imagine an edit of guo chengyu with a Spanish song. I think it would suit his vibe." ~~ agreed, I don't even know why, but it would, he somehow just looks very 'sexy reclining on a beach with the wind blowing his hair around while he sips an expensive drink' XD

It's a really ethereal sounding song right? I love her voice. It's a sad song though, so I don't think it's suitable for RL over all. Maybe I'll use it one day for another show lol Making edits it fun to pass time :D I'll check out yours, I only recently uploaded stuff on TT, still not familiar on there.
Not even second cousins😭 they turn out to be first cousins (their mothers were birth sisters).
I've seen the speculation about this, so I checked the broken down translation of 亲姐妹, and it means biologically related sisters, by blood. That's not on the level for me personally, cousins being together ain't up my alley so I'll stay gone unless the person who wrote this show ever decides to clarify differently.

Just saying.
