Yes I remember those discussions. These scenes aren’t steamy and the librarian is having a better romance than our poor ML. It’s just so apparent how unfairly Dylan is being treated and the second ML love line is valued more.

PS- “Unchained Love” passed censorship in Dec, but this drama passed in Nov or Jan (can’t recall)?

From original script (returning the ring):

Ye Runming concealed the pain in his heart with a wry smile: Yes, we have all lost ourselves during this time. Lin Huajun: Last night, I kept thinking about what happened between us. I have thought about it for a long time, thinking about when we were in Beiping, when we were in Changsha, and the days when we came here...Runming, I must confess to you that I fell in love with Cheng Jiashu. Ye Runming took a deep breath: Can you tell me when your feelings for him started? Lin Huajun: I don't know. When I came out of the prison that day, Runqing asked me why Cheng Jiashu and I were by the South Lake instead of you, and why I always kept a distance from you, but I was able to talk and laugh with Cheng Jiashu. I was dumbfounded by her in lang Speechless, it was only then that I realized that my heart had already belonged to him uncontrollably. Ye Runming: So you have been avoiding him all this time. Lin Huali: In fact, you have already seen it. Ye Runming nodded: I felt it the day you came out of prison, but I have been unwilling to face it. Lin Huajun: Run Ming, I'm sorry, I failed you and failed this relationship. Ye Runming: Don't say I'm sorry, no one disappoints anyone in a relationship, a person who respects his own heart is the one who respects others and his feelings. Hua Jun, you didn't betray me, you just never fell in love with me. Just like what you said in Beiping, you don't know whether you can't refuse me or really love me when you are with me. The appearance of Cheng Jiashu is just to let you see your feelings for me clearly. Hua, thank you for being honest with me. His words made Lin Hua even more sad. Ye Runming: Do you still remember the song "Birds and Fish" that we all like? In fact, the love between birds and fish is doomed to be fruitless. Fish can't go ashore, and birds can't fly in the sea. The barrier between the two worlds is No one can break it. Lin Huali: You mean, we are like birds and fish. Ye Runming: If Beiping had not fallen, we might stay in school together to teach, get married and have children, raise eyebrows together, Let's grow old together, swim in the water, or travel in the sky. War has changed the destiny of the country, as well as the destiny of each of our families and individuals, turning us into birds and fish, one with its own direction to fly, and the other with its own ocean to swim in. You want to be like your father and go into education. And I also have my own ideals. Lin Huajun: I know your ideals, and I also understand your hesitation. Runming, I will always support you. Ye Runming: Hua Jun, although our relationship is getting further and further apart, we are getting to know each other better. In some places, neither of us can change for the other. Although I am sad, but I think, you and I just stopped on the road of love, in life, we are still friends. No matter what, I am proud to be able to walk through that time with you.

If anyone has links to deleted scenes, please share! They said that with 40 episodes, they deleted down to 39 episodes. I feel that most of the 40 minutes of deleted scenes are of Dylan with Zhou Ye. After watching up to ep.19, their whole love line, I feel, is very fragmented. I got so annoyed with the plot changes. It is so obvious the scene when she returned the ring was re-dubbed over. The real reason has always been that she had fallen in love with Jiashu, but all the interactions between the male and female protagonists were deleted or edited! They edited to where either Dylan not allow to CP with FL or the heroine cannot fall in love with others if her ex-bf is not dead; the love triangle cannot exist. Is Runming the actual ML and is our Jiashu so worthless, like a spare tire? A film with such a good theme, with an honest and hot young protagonist, but has really failed on the love line.

I came across some scenes of Jiashu and Huajun that are either deleted / edited / not filmed from original script (to be continued):

1. (Deleted) First encounter on motorcycle (love at first sight) - details in my previous comment.

2. (Deleted) Peking University has my dream - details in my previous comment.

3. (Deleted) Playing Violin - Huajun playing her violin in her backyard and Jiashu climbed up the tree to watch.

4. (Deleted) Basketball- Jiashu hugged Huajun's waist to dodge the basketball at the University game. (Uploaded in photos).

5. (Deleted) Hug at the train station (not in original script).

6. (Deleted or not filmed) - Before accepting the ring, Huajun fell in love with Jiashu in her heart (the TV series did not express this part). The photo shoot was to fulfill her mother’s wish. How helpless Huajun was at that moment. Runming had gradually felt Huajun’s emotions (but the TV series deleted or didn't shoot).

7. (Deleted or not filmed) - The scene where Jiashu puts jacket on Huajun was originally Jiashu was beaten and injured in order to protect Huajun, and the two went to the police station together.

8. (Deleted) - Huajun holding the unconscious Jiashu on the ground and screaming for help at bombing scene.

9. (Deleted) - After Jiashu became seriously ill, Hua Jun finally faced up to her own heart at the bedside and returned the ring to second ML (many of the previous trailers have been deleted). https://twitter.com/jalnandcn/status/1657472463339671553

Interview with Dylan Wang and Zhou Ye for the drama in 2020. They get along so well and are so cute together. 💗Their favorite food in Yunnan is Chicken with pickled bamboo shoot.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yw8KoWeqtZ0&t=3s

Zhou Ye said Dylan is really similar to Jaishu, both are interesting and optimistic, there is not much different. Dylan also said he thinks there's no difference, "I feel that I am actually him."

I also understand more and more the similarities between Jiashu and Dylan. His background may not be the best, but in the family, he is well- loved, has a healthy mind, and has compassion and empathy, has sunshine and cheerful personality, can get along well with boys and girls, will be jealous and hurt, but will not self- doubt because of this, and has a good attitude. At the same time, he is talented and intelligent, and everyone in his world is equal. The most important thing is that everyone thought he was a different kind and wanted to change him. This has been the case since his debut, but in fact he is the most normal person.

Yes, he is dubbed and it’s not perfect. This was filmed almost 4 years ago when he was 20 yrs old.

Don’t know. There’s no confirmation on those details yet.

What do you mean? Like, part 1 &2? Wait 6 months between each part?

Jiashu also sees through Huajun’s real reason for not going to Changsha. He opens up the
dilemma in front of her that of "going to Changsha to study but receiving help" or “staying with my mother in Beiping and not being able to study anymore.” He encouraged her to make a choice to follow her heart, escape is not the best answer! I think the experience Jiashu and Huajun had together at the bombing of Nankai University changed them. Huajun is more mature and brave than before.

When Huajun met Runming, she may have been a bit immature, but their relationship is still a very sweet first love experience for them. Runming is a gentle and considerate person who is impeccable. He respects her, takes care of her, and protects her. Huajun's mother regards this simple love as her daughter ingratiating herself with people of high status (her transformation into a phoenix), and keeps instilling this idea in Huajun, as if she is interacting with Runming for a utilitarian purpose, which makes her feel repulsive and disgusted. No one in their friends group will think that Huajun is marrying into the Ye family to climb high, but it seems the inequality of the family circumstances is already planted in her heart. After he learned about Huajun’s true thoughts, Runming tried his best to eliminate the feeling of inequality in Hua Jun's heart and put forward new possibilities between them when he said, “Or if you still want to get to know the not- so- perfect Ye Runming again, then you come here." But she had already experienced the relationship with Runming and had a more specific and in-depth thinking about love and herself.

He will always be the one who understands her best. Jiashu (Dylan), Huajun (Zhou Ye) and Ye Runming are always cautious when they are together, but only when she is with Jiashu, she is the truest self. The part when Jiashu blinks desperately at Huajun (no one can refuse such a cute face) to trick Yun Xiao to eat very spicy and stinky tofu together, Huajun didn't have this side in front of Ye Runming! When Jiashu and Huajun were discussing the interpretation of the script late at night, both of them have the same thoughts and ideas. This is their ideal love and expression. The two changed the script overnight. Their reinterpretation and the performance of these two people moved everyone. In the play, she said to Jiashu, “I love you, I love your life, and I love your nobility even more. Your ideals can be exchanged for more people's happiness and tomorrow." It felt so real. 🫠 She admired Ye Running for his talent, but she is falling in love with Jiashu. ❤️

I am crying with them every time. When Dylan cried, I cried too. 😭when he said goodbye to his father , I worry this would be his last time seeing him.

New posters look great 👍🏻

I just posted the link in the comments.

Interview with producer Zhang Liying: In fact, for the sake of safety, we also hired a stand- in actor, who is very experienced and familiar with bombing sites. However, our male lead and female lead (Dylan Wang and Zhou Ye) insisted not to be replaced, and all the hot spots were run down by themselves.

Dylan was filming the rainy night playing basketball scene in Kunming having a shirt on at a few degrees below zero at the end of December. The crew brought in fire trucks to spray water on him, soaking him thoroughly. He filmed from 9:00 pm until late at night, saying: "If it doesn't work, I can do it again." In fact, he was already freezing all over, at that time shivering.

On the first day of filming in the second week, Zhou Ye sprained her ankle because she stepped on a fallen piece of wood while running to the explosion site. The bone was cracked and swollen to a high degree. The doctor at Jishuitan Hospital said that a plaster cast was needed. But once a plaster cast is applied, filming will be impossible. The kid is only 20 years old. If she quits, she will lose a rare and important opportunity in her life. So she asked the doctor: "If there is no plaster cast, is there any other way?" The doctor said that it can be fixed with gauze, but this is not good for recovery. She thought for a while, and then asked the doctor: "Then can I have a plaster cast after I finish filming?" The doctor said that there is a risk and you decide. In the end, she insisted on not wearing a plaster cast, tied gauze, and insisted on walking with a cane. There are more than 600 people in the production team, and millions of dollars are consumed a day. This child knows that she can't hold back, so when it's time for her to run, she endures the pain and runs desperately. In the end, she couldn’t run any longer, so the crew found her a wheelchair, put a box under it, put some wheels on the bottom of the box, and installed tracks on the route she walked. When it was time for her to come out to act, the camera It was just above her waist. After the composition, it felt like she was running with everyone. In fact, someone was pulling the box with a rope and running. After sitting in a wheelchair for 57 days, she cried a lot when the finale was completed, and she got a plaster cast on the last day. It can be said that everyone in the crew is influenced by the characters in the play.

It’s very good and I already feel attached to the characters. This is a war drama showing the ugly face of WW2, so some parts are heavy on the heart.

What happened to the evil bone?

Not release yet. Hopefully soon. There are some photo stills of him on his motorcycle. I will upload it. But so far they didn’t show him on his motorcycle in the drama yet.

There are already deleted scenes at the very beginning between Dylan and Zhou Ye. This explains why Huajun (Zhou Ye) had a bad attitude towards Jiashu (Dylan) at the beginning. She got hit by his motorcycle. I think it was love at first sight for Jiashu. Too bad, I really wanted to see Dylan riding a motorcycle.

Deleted Scenes (first encounter)

1) The motorcycle has already passed, Cheng Jiashu turned his head: You don't know me? I am Jiashu... Just as Cheng Jiashu turned his head back, a girl suddenly came out from a small horizontal alley. Cheng Jiashu braked hurriedly, getting too close, Cheng Jiashu turned sideways and forced the front of the car, but still hit the girl, and the motorcycle lost control and hit the wall. Cheng Jiashu got up quickly and blurted out: I am so sorry! Are you OK? The one who was knocked down was Lin Huajun, a 20- year- old female college student. It was seen that the knees of her skirt had been frayed and blood was oozing. Lin Huajun replied angrily: I'm not OK! Cheng Jiashu realized that what he said was inappropriate, and quickly took off his sunglasses: Classmate, did I scare you? Cheng Jiashu stretched out his hand to help her, but Lin Huajun dodged it. She turned around and jolted over to pick up her schoolbag, Cheng Jiashu quickly picked it up and handed it to Lin Huajun. Cheng Jiashu: Hey, I'm sorry! Looking at Lin Hua's back, Cheng Jiashu suddenly appeared god (mesmerized).
——————————————————
At the beginning, the ML father said that he was going to be admitted to Tsinghua University, but later Jiashu insist on applying to Peking University.
(Tsinghua might be a more prestigious school since her rich boyfriend, Runming, attends it, and Zhou Ye is from a humble background.)

Deleted Scenes (Dream)

2) Zhang Shushen: Don't you just want to go back to the United States?
Cheng Jiashu: I want to be admitted to Peking University!
Cheng Jiawen: Peking University? Why do you suddenly want to be admitted to Peking University?
Deleted scene** Cheng Jiashu smiled: because — Peking University has my dream (Zhou Ye)!
