Just added the step by step video and wikihow for the lucky stars strips

and the Youku, iQiyi and Tencent/WeTV "heat index" explanation in the monitoring done early June by @Dreams from their comment, now lost in the discussion, sometime around June 23. Their monitoring has not been updated, though, as I checked today.

:) I liked that drama too !

Got the answer. It was Xiamen.

not in the drama : she confesses, but he looks at her as if dumbfounded, so she gracefully retreats... Some guys don't know how to seize second chances elsewhere... He had none with Zhi, but the roommate was pretty enough without glasses.
Anyway, the drama was not about them, and we would have been very annoyed if it had gone on and on as it did for the second couple in A Romance Of The Little Forest, don't you think ?

Oh yes that one sounds familiar, so here you are it is the one that Jiang Ming performed in the bar where Zhi got drunk !
it is the "hidden" second song from Zhāng Yīháo (張洢豪) in the drama : I've Liked You Since The First Day I Met You, 遇见你的第一天起我就喜欢你 — 张洢豪 borrowed from 《时光与他，恰是正好 Time and Him are Just Right OST》

As a bonus, you'll get lyrics and translation in comments on this link !

So, since the box above seems to be stuck on "Be the first to create a discussion", I have added one new one, including my compilation of the other ones that were initiated there.
The three first on this new discussion are about shooting dates and city, about Lusi's wardrobe, and about the Shenlan car that Jiaxu drove.

Feel free to add more if you have info about location, shooting, etc.
The links for music are with Peachey Blossom's discussion thread, including some more songs in the drama or from Victor Ma.

Be my guest! Happy that what I post can be of interest!
I am still here bc I so loved that drama!
I should move on but... it's hard.
Some time off today, so perhaps I will check out more from TLP which alas dethroned HL as expected in this week's Marcus report on viewer numbers. I hoped HL could stand its ground against the huge fanbase of XZ but in battles between David and Goliath, it is not always David who has the upper hand... It is already very satisfying that HL is and will be watched internationally on Netflix, despite the competition from TLP which does not seem to enthuse all watchers as much as expected. Perhaps a too long promise ? or is it really that FL has no chemistry? Must go to check that out.
Although I am torn between going there or to the Yang Yang one. Who is acting with a bunch of actors known to have been with him in other dramas, including Zhang Binbin, one of my "crushes" (YY has long been n°1 for me among screen c-idols).
AND I must finish watching Destined, which got a too low Weibo opening rating, as most in comments agreed.

I thought I recognized the Xiamen twin "surfboard" buildings in one still of landscape, but was not totally sure. Thanks for confirmation!

Acting cute, Victor, ain't he ? The kiss is not as torrid as some in The Forbidden Flower...
Just nice, sweet, and proper - with a table to separate the couple !
I am sure Victor Ma as a New Yorker should only find this TV-G public and did not need to blush!

tell me, insideout91 who has surely followed up on that: do you know where the drama was filmed and where that lovely fun on the beach weibo scene posted a few moments ago took place ? that one https://weibo.com/7745083557/492195437530881

Ooof 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂 😂😂

Yes, head to discussion about music from Peachey Blossom to find more Victor Ma music links in the replies there.

ps I am not Peachey Blossom, but like the work posted on their channel !

Ooh that was nice! Do you know on what beach they had such fun ?
I have forgotten where the drama was filmed.

22 is the legal age for men to enter marriage in China, it is 20 for women.
Sang Zhi was 19 when he started to date her, so he had to wait, and best till she had finished graduation, thus 22.
It is actually a nice mirroring device. And an invitation for Chinese watchers in the PRC of the laws.
Do we need to see their married life ? Well, the novelist should write a sequel then...
But first, we're probably going to see Sang Yan's own love story, although I am among those who think it would have been better to keep Victor Ma Boqian as lead for that role (it looks like it will be someone else).

Sure, but shouldn't this thread belong in the King the Land drama page ?
Now, if it was just to add conversations here to reach 20,000 on this one, I am not really complaining about the Guinness Book of Records attempt, but it does not add that much to Hidden Love relevant info and discussion? Also, it may be annoying for those who are trawling through past posts to find something specific that might have been discussed but got lost in the avalanche.

How about the face loss scene after the milk tea, when he was dragging her like a (slave?) dog on a leash ?

ah yes, the basketball game played by Jiaxu

Ah yes, right hand column, Statistics

Ah, that's perhaps a site that change names, like a few other we know?

For more music, I just managed to find, at last the up till now strangely hidden (to me at least) discussion thread, so I appended my music findings to Peachey Blossom's music thread, direct link here : https://mydramalist.com/discussions/hidden-love/108569-hidden-love-full-ost-with-eng-subs (Peachey Blossom, June 20, 2023)
+ some more music from Victor Ma Boqian
It would be nice, if you find it, to add a link for instrumental bgm !

I suggest you check Peachey Blossom discussion thread for more music and you can add relevant music what you found that we missed there !
