ShortCircuit

What is it with the beginning of 19 (DVD), did the director just give them the camera and told them to fool around LOL? It doesn't even feel like they're acting, it's like they're actually in love and is it getting hot in here or is it just me? :D

Actually, if they're officially together (it's not an one-sided love), I'd confront him/her myself and have a talking-to before telling my friend, if I ever do. Sometimes it's simpler to let them keep the rosy glasses on, particularly if the crush is not actually doing anything sketchy but my friend might take it the wrong way and start being jealous for nothing. There are plenty of people who are insecure in their relationships, if there's no true need, then there's no harm to not inform them of anything that might not be to their help.

But I am not 20-some any more and I've been used to not cause storms in a teacup for a long time now LOL. I DO remember those moods and that thinking in absolutes we all used to do, though :D

He has quite a lot of songs, of which a lot are part of the soundtracks of the dramas he starred in. He actually debuted as part of XNine, a boys group, LOL (but at quite an older age than the usual boys group member :D)

His voice is very sweet and he can hit some pretty high notes. If you want to hear some samples of what he can do...try these few. You're going to look them up later yourself :)

He has plenty more, these are my favourites :D

You're watching TU. He has chemistry with that wine bottle. And the donkey. And the bunnies. And the FLUTE.

And we're not even going to mention women and men :D

You should watch The Wolf too, even if he's the SML. It's one of my favourite characters from him - rogue Ji Chong is worth watching the drama, despite they way the censors destroyed the main storyline.

If you followed it as it was airing, you know there was a whole mess behind some of the directions the production took in the end... since even before it aired.

But XZ does have great skill, and it showed. So despite everything, it was at least an interesting character to watch.

I so want him to have a drama with Bai Lu - she's my favourite Chinese actress. I can't decide if I'd like a wuxia/xianxia or a modern drama with them - maybe a modern one, because costume dramas tend to be so much more dramatic than modern stories, and sometimes that deducts from the actual plot. But then, they both look so good in costume...

**throwing up hands in the air** Any new drama or movie with them, or separate, I'll take it, please :D

Well, Ace Troops wasn't about romance, but mostly about being men and taking responsiblity. I think he did great with his role as a stoic and responsible soldier. And Douluo Continent was never about romance but about the power-up LOL. I'm actually glad they kept most of the romantic parts out. That drama was so shounen it hurt heheh.

I have a feeling Where Dreams Begin is going to be romance-less too. But he might shine as a romantic star again in The Longest Promise... though we might have the longest wait for it too LOL.

I guess he was being direct and warning Gu Wei he's in a competition. Not that LZX didn't set that straight as soon as he (SJ) confessed to her LOL. And well, Gu Wei needed a reason to get a bit overpossessive LOL.

It didn't matter, he was still way too romantic. Especially as rogue Ji Chong, though my heart broke for him as Prince ChuAn. At least he got the SFL, and she was WAY smarter than MZX. I mean, she stayed alive AND got her man. What more can a girl do? :D

Have you seen him as Ji Chong?! He can do romantic at the drop of a hat. With women AND men actor partners, if we're talking about it LOL. I don't know who's going to be with in his real life, but that person is going to be one happy person, if he's just a tiny bit as romantic as he can be in a role.

That was such a Howl's Moving Castle moment LOL (When Turnip turned back into a human and was rejected by Sophie, he said something like, "I'll try again in a year, a woman's heart is fickle"). Shao Jiang is soooo Turnip at that moment :D

"You know I don't like coriander" and then as a punishment he has to eat coriander-flavoured icecream (sounds yucky, I pity him), *IT'S WORTH IT!*

Grabbing all the points there, Dr. Gu.

Also, "Make a wish!" (to fireworks, LOL, she's too cute :D), and he goes all serious: "My wish is right next to me!" **swoon**

All the wanna-be come-betweeners in this drama give up pretty quick, here's a toast to them for not being infinitely obnoxious, LOL.

And the mini-theatre at the end of ep. 18 - "Who's the intelligent one?" - "You are!"
"Then who's the cute one?" - "Also you!" NICE save there, Dr! Though your grammar is kind of sketchy indeed LOL.

Two thirds in, noooo. I want more!

I mean, death by sugar overdose might not be too bad, all things considered.

Ep 18 (DVD).

Mini-special (by demand :D)

Wei WuXian (eating melon seeds in the gallery): I think love declarations are silly. Particularly in public.
Lan WangJi (suffering stoically): Mn.
Wen Ning (**does.not.compute.exe**): What do you mean, in public?
Wei WuXian (very loudly): For example, like when Jin ZiXuan confessed to Shi Jie in public - hahahaha, did you see their faces?
Jin ZiXuan (mumbling): As if you would recognize true love if it hit you over the head with a sword. (mouthing the words) Like Bichen.
Jiang Cheng (sharing the melon seeds pack): Yeah, love should be understated. Like give her a gift or something to let her know you're interested.
Jin Ling (mouthing the words) Preferably before she's dead. Just saying.
Gu Wei: I bought her a fresh drink. It was DEFINITELY against my better judgement, since fizzy drinks are bad for your teeth and too much sugar before bed will not help a good night's sleep. But at the time I thought it was a cute gesture.
Wei WuXian (generously): I'll give you a bottle of Emperor's Smile. You can share it with her.
Gu Wei: Alcohol impairs judgement. Can't give that to a girl. In fact, nobody should over indulge.
Wei WuXian: I just KNEW you don't know how to have fun. I mean, you don't even eat spicy food. Let me tell you, spicy food and alcohol are the best things in life, bar none.
**Everybody - but Lan WangJi - shares an embarassed look. Lan WangJi doesn't change expression**
Wei WuXian (suspicious): WHAT?!
Gu Wei: Anyway, I also told her. On purpose. In public. And then I asked her out on a date.
**Everybody but Wei WuXian furiously taking notes.**
Wei WuXian: I still think a bottle of Emperor's Smile would do the trick. Right Lan Zhan?
Lan WangJi: **uncorks the bottle** Everyday means everyday.

Rebound guy always draws the shorter stick, it can't be helped. But maybe he has a chance to become Mr. Right, this is a romcom, anything can happen.

Also, Gao Xi needed that brutal rejection. I think she's strong enough to get over it and become Gu Wei's friend again, so I don't blame him for being so harsh on her. And it did sound a bit like they were trying to find a groove there, with the parents and the job and the habits etc. It's Gu Wei's good luck he found Lin ZhiXiao.

They're going to be stupidly in love for a bit, right? They're way too cute. Seriously getting hyperglycemic over here, LOL.

And two mini-theatres in a row, wow. "You'll always be 44 kilos in my heart" - LOL, Gu Wei, it's a trap. Never reply to that question :D

End of ep 16 (DVD): What can you do when you get a sugar overload?!

15 minutes in OMG WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!

"Don't talk like that to the girl I like... No, don't talk like that TO MY GIRLFRIEND!!!"

AWWWWWWWWW **crowd goes wild**

That is all.

10 minutes in on ep 16 (DVD)...

I FELT Gao Xi when she told LZX that she (LZX) is way too easy to distrust hard-working doctors in the hospital trying to help her dad (she meant Gu Wei) while she's so ready to trust outsiders. She (GX) seemed to reclaim her cool head for a while there. And she was totally right in what she said.

SanSan really is too immature to get involved in other people's relationships *sigh* and so is Gu Xiao. And they're way too reckless in their own relationship, going from being cats-and-dogs with each other to getting into bed together (while drunk too). Nice example there...

LOL @the mini-theatre.

LZX: and * was looking at you too and you were looking at her too!
GW: Because I'm handsome.
LZX: You think you're handsome? Have you looked in a mirror? Who would like you but me?

Myself in a corner raising a hand shyly: Err, if I could interrupt...!
