Yeah, but I don't see how the drama will redeem XYX for LL to get back with him. Looks like SZZ will be the end game for LL.

Me, too. At this point, complaints like "40 episodes is too long for a modern drama" are invalid.

Although I'm not a fan of love triangles and third party love interests, I can appreciate Ao Ruipeng's charm. He needs to do more modern romance dramas. His looks and styling in this drama are too good for him to not do more modern romance dramas!!!

I'll watch it later.

I still don't like it. But it's not as bad as I imagined it to be. Thank god!! (even though I don't believe in god).

They did???? How?

I don't it's think XK fans. They are cp specific fans, normal fans do not mind them, and they don't get into normal fans business.

No idea.

No, original belongs to WeTV/Tencent. Mango/Hunan stepped in later. IQIYI event later.

Viki can't decide much, they have to follow the schedule they are given by the ones who sold copyrights to them.

Let's hope for the best.

C-drama writers need to learn from the c-novel writers.

C-novels are breaking free from the tropes, they are even mocking some of the romance tropes (highly recommend you to read Sinister Ex-Girlfriend novel which deals with this specifically). As Beautiful As Beijing is a novel that avoids almost all romance tropes, exception being the kidnapping scene. And it was very refreshing. I had hoped the drama would be just as refreshing if they followed the novel, but it wasn't meant to be. I still enjoyed the drama very much, despite the changes, up until now. Episode 33 greatly disappointed me for the reasons you mentioned above.

Kisskh will have the fast-track uploaded. We just have to see if they will have machine-translated subs or proper subs.

Ep 35 shouldn't be a sad episode, there have been promos with them warming up to each other again in ep 35.

Viki will have to follow normal VIP schedule, I'm afraid. They can't drop fast-track.

No idea. They have hospital sign for episode 38.

Yup. This should be episode 35. Reconciliation on ep 36, as per the schedule.

Hoping for the same!

They are talking about the cat, and how JX should drop by since the cat had been missing her, something like that. Something about sharing the photos as well. And JX agrees to it, then she secretly smiles.

I didn't mind changes from the novel up until episode 33. In fact, I didn't even think of the novel when I have been watching the episodes until now. I've only been comparing after, never during.
This is the first time I felt the drama could have stuck to the novel and not do whatever they did with episode 33.
