There's currently intense scrutiny directed at the current active CBL couples and it seems Yunqi and Yiran are…
I honestly thought this wouldn’t be a big problem anymore since so many production companies have found a way to maneuver around the Chinese policies but oh well🥲 Now I too feel a little doubtful about the specials but I don’t want them at the expense of someone’s career so I guess let’s hope for the best!
No, you’re not the only one, I do the exact same thing 😅I check every day here and on social media in general…
The only thing that gives me hope is that they did finish filming and their concert promotions have been in full swing so there shouldn’t be any issues but they seriously talk about anything and everything BUT the special like why 🥲 I hope I can just forget about it and one day just wake up to its release 😂
Am I crazy to check this page everyday for any news about the special episode or they’re seriously being so weird about it by not posting ANY updates for the past 2 months, like none!? 😭😭😭
Randomly came back to this page to see some info and thought to scroll down and see whether that person is still doing the day xxx of missing them and lo and behold they still are! Hats off to your dedication babe 🫶
I have never waited for a special this badly before <3<3<3
In other people's experiences, is a series concert the last of its promotions? So can we expect the special before their concert on Feb 28 or thats not usually the case and the special could easily come post their concert weekend as well?
There are some pretty polarizing views on this show so far, so I wanted to share my honest impression as well. This isn’t to invalidate anyone’s preferences at all—it’s just a fun little analysis from my side :)
When the trailer dropped, I was beyond excited that the Addicted second CP was getting a spin-off and that they somehow got the OG cast back. I’d already seen Lin Feng Song in a bunch of short dramas and really liked him in them so that was a plus!
That being said, the show itself isn’t really making me feel much in terms of chemistry, connection, warmth, or even the storyline. It’s not a budget issue or an acting issue—the leads are great. For me, the problem is more with the writing and directing. There isn’t a strong emotional arc, and I don’t really feel the inner worlds of You Qi and Yang Meng enough to connect with what they’re feeling.
I honestly don’t know what either of them feels for the other. There’s no clear emotional baseline from the high school days—like yes, YM liked YQ, but what did YQ feel? Was YM just a friend? Did he not notice him that way, or did he like him even a little? And what does YQ feel now? Why was he so happy to see him again on that island? We don’t get enough emotional POVs, so it feels very outside-looking-in, which is why a lot of moments don’t really land.
Some scenes here and there do work and are kinda funny but still YQ’s actions toward YM feel unanchored and confusing. I wouldn’t overthink this if it were episode 1, but we’re already a third of the way through so it feels valid enough to form an opinion so far.
And that second CP… girl, what? lol. I don’t really feel anything from them yet, though the hint at the end of episode 4 that they might’ve known each other before did get me slightly interested.
Overall, the leads and their characters are very likable, the acting is good, and the location and look of the show are nice. For me, it’s the emotional buildup and the way the story is written and directed where the connection is lacking. I’ll still wait for this weekend’s episodes and hope the next few connect better with me :)
Hey guys! Haven't been on this page in a while but I was just wondering did we ever get an update on that last post by RL on youtube where they talked about releasing some new stuff, fan events etc? Like did anyone find any crumbs on any other platform talking about it or hinting at something?
I was actually kinda hesitant to check the MDL page after tomorrow's episode since I was so disappointed and I didn't wanna offend anyone who was enjoying it coz we have seen people GET MAD lmao
I don't even have any complaints about the second CP's screentime coz having read most of the novel that's all that happens for them till this timeline, and NJ already included everything from the special chapters that were part of the current timeline so yeh. I mean I love them too but that's all that happens with them so far.
My main issue was with the way the scenes of the main CP played out. Its kinda like they tried to include all the scenes and dialogues without giving any importance to the build up and pay off arc for anything so everything felt flat. Like the hard cut from the hospital to the peanut making scene and the quick jump into the blanket (lol) didn't build up any emotions and then they didnt even play out the first time SSY was into it and wanted to do it with HY which is ??? Also wouldve loved to see the SSY father scene a little crisper and quicker to make the point and like most people said no phone call with the cousin please coz that was a time waster. The rut in the office could be played out more to show the "desire" even if they don't show the actual intimate scene. Another hard cut from the breakfast to the shirt stay clipping scene like it cut to the high point of HY clipping the stay for SSY like there was no intimate buildup for it so it didn't quite land, you can just remove it and give that time to other scenes i feel. Like honestly you dont have to include everything if you dont have the time to build the atmosphere for them all.
But since it is NJ's first project, its ok but everybody should have a right to provide some criticism every now and then!
I hope its trueeee , i really want to see them interact with each other freely like the ABO cast . And now i'm…
Omg all 4 of them at an event will killllll meeeeee🫠🙈❤️ And honestly, money grabbing tactic or not, the team is really working hard to get all the content to us in any way possible and I really respect them for that!
I hope I can just forget about it and one day just wake up to its release 😂
