There are intimacy supervisors for sets in real life, but they don't do anything like kiss the stars. And they are mostly absent in East Asia. You also have to have psychology/sexology degrees in order to become one for set. It's not that exciting of a job since mostly they make sure that everyone is safe within an intimacy scene. i.e. It doesn't devolve into sexual assault, etc.
Like shown in the BTS of Hidden Love, mostly actors mime the kissing to work it out and then kiss for the final scene. It takes a ton, ton of discussions on intimacy scenes. Kissing is only done on real takes. The two most difficult scenes on actors are kissing scenes and fight scenes.
I guess I'm the only one that liked the entire story beginning to end. I didn't think the story was that hard…
The beginning of the story starts cliched with a contract marriage between an actress and a CEO of an app company. It has all of the bells and whistles of a cotton candy drama--mindless no calories, type, but as the story moves forwards, there's hints things aren't quite right. For example, the FL can't seem to remember the fate of her parents, who randomly pop up during the story.
And then the FL can't seem to remember how the ML and her really met. He has to remind her.
Then slowly, more and more amnesia plots seep into the story as if someone is trying to remember something, as memories repeat. Until she states she doesn't need to go on the honeymoon and the ground shakes. She remembers the earthquake on their honeymoon.
The huge twist that's waiting you all along is that the first part of the story isn't real. It's been hinting at you the entire time that the story isn't real, because it was from a novel. It's a novel that her husband and her respun to have him and her while waiting to be rescued after an Earthquake on their honeymoon and he'd told her this story while she was slipping in and out of consciousness to keep her from dying.
She loved all these escapist stories with cliched plots because their love story didn't seem sweet enough for her. They had to struggle really hard to make small things happen. And a lot of the events from earlier that seemed like epic pieces were broken down as moments they had to work really hard for with very little cash, but I think this made things much sweeter. It wasn't that he was rich and could afford all these fancy set pieces, it was that he struggled to put them all together despite him not being rich like she liked to read in her romances and still tried to give her what she wanted from her romance novels--things he could not live quite up to like she wanted.
This culminates in her waking up from her coma, and waiting for him to get better, and despite the fact her used his body to protect her and lost his legs, she sticks by his side, because reality isn't these perfect overtures of CEOs with the budget to buy fireworks just for her. It's the ability to stick it out even when it's difficult--and that's what the story ends with. He may have lost both his legs, but they both decide to live life together. And the story ends with him waking up.
I get for people who don't like the truth of what love is--which is work to be the person you're with--they will hate his ending. But for me, I love this ending. Because it's not all being rich will solve your love problems, it's the careful building moment to moment and cherishing it, even when you think it's inconsequential and boring. But this story highlights that it's not inconsequential at all. Those small moments are what helps bond a couple together, despite the riches, etc. It's the effort put in to be together that matters the most, not false overtures and a magical glean.
I guess I'm the only one that liked the entire story beginning to end. I didn't think the story was that hard to understand. But then I also watch more Art house type of stories, so I understand non-linear storylines.
The story structure is based on Dream Record, somewhat... so I'll explain it in more detail in the spoiler below.
So basically she's trans and gets cured of her gender dysphoria by the end of the story... which you can take as however you want to take that.. yeah... ummm... the censorship board must have been all over this one.
Qiang Xuan is literally her first? I think cousin. So in Chinese drama land, even if it happened historically,…
They play with indicating that their parents are related in the drama without directly saying it. You really get that indication, to the point some international viewers who never read the book, also think they are cousins, rather than not the same family. Probably because they took much of the dialogue one for one. It was to the point by the middle of the first episode, I was pretty sure they were cousins. Rather than Neighborhood Gege/meimei and I hadn't looked it up yet.
I kind of really want her to end up with Xiang Liu. They are so cute together. But I wouldn’t mind her ending…
Qiang Xuan is literally her first? I think cousin. So in Chinese drama land, even if it happened historically, it's not allowed. Final shippings are fairly clear.
The whole story was in a mess. So called lost of memory twice then accident after accident......I am so confused…
Basically, the original story is at the end of the story. Originally, she and her husband met at a cafe where she worked, fell in love on a more normal route, got married, were really happy together, decided to go on a Honeymoon, but got into an earthquake. During their rescue, Husband and wife spun a tale to try to keep Zhenzhen from dying, Yun Chen put a lot of effort into trying to deflect he was really hurt.
The tale they spun together brings us back to the beginning of the tale, which then played out in her coma, where it was actually her trying to remember her parents and Yun Chen and her real past, but she struggled really hard.
The reason he kept getting amnesia was because that was her struggling to remember that they were both badly hurt.
So by the end of the story, she's caring for him in a coma, and what was a flat tale, twists into an epic love tale that's more realistic and shows how they actually fell in love and the hardships they were willing to go through together. It ends with him beginning to wake up.
It wasn't so messy--it was non-linear storytelling where each stage led to the next and you got a clue, after clue something was not right, until the illusion literally broke and you found that the true love wasn't all these fancy CEOs, and actresses but smaller moments they worked hard to build together. A sweet take on love.
I don't see the producer credited on here? The Chief Producer is: 梅子笑 (Mei Zixiao)
Also worked on: Royal Nirvana (2019) (producer) Love Better Than Immortality (2019) (producer)
Regular Producers: 田芳 (Tian Fang), 梅青海 (Mei Qinghai), 孙鱼洋 (Sun Yuyang) Qinghai also produced: A Portrait of Jianghu: Reincarnated Disciple (2023) Knight of the Rose (2022)
孙鱼洋 (Sun Yuyang) has a longer producing list. "Knight of the Rose (2022) A Servant of Two Masters (2014) as executive director"
0:23 seconds of the credits--around there.
Either way, the principle writer should be listed, and given a page, no?
I believe because of the way it's listed, Xuan Zhao would be head writer, and the others are probably assistant writers? At least Xuan Zhao probably should get a page at this point, given at least 2 high profile dramas. (Zhao is the surname)
Credit is given on ~0:44 on the credits, BTW, there are also script editors listed at the same time stamp, but I'm not sure how to list those.
The writer for this is occasionally the same screenwriter for The Killer is Also Romantic, particularly listed on Episode 3, but also where the characters show up from The Killer is Also Romantic. But the main screenwriter is Li Wenting (李文婷)--No page to them? The drama is so good, that I would be happy with a sad or happy ending. I'm not sure if that counts it as an associated drama or not.
