flours

they are unrelated, the producer just calls it his trilogy because the three romance novels he adapted have sweets/sugar in their titles
the book title for this one translates literally to "star falling into sugar"

I feel like they saw all the complaints about those 5 sec reunion at the end style endings and said they won't do that, but instead of what people wanted, they just cut the reunion altogether

you mean they didn't have one already 🤔

no idea why they would cut these scenes, they're cute and not controversial to me at all

but the drama is still enjoyable even though they did this... luckily those clips are available so we can piece them back in ourselves

it felt like SDYQ was a response to all the failings of the other

i hope this drama will bring him more ability to select desirable projects... this definitely shows he has range

here's a link to that interview in case anyone wants to watch

we tried to complete it but youku just stopped there

yea I'm kind of sad that a mostly enjoyable drama like this might have ratings dip because of that ending

That ending made me laugh so in a way it was consistent with the comedic tone of most of the drama 🤡

lol be like the peaceful flowers not like SuZhi 😆

Youku cut so many kiss scenes, is there going to be some deleted kiss scene that was supposed to be at the end? 😂
They've also had special VIP episodes to revive beloved characters for several of their dramas...I wonder if that's the case for this one too

About that ending

I can't really recognize him in this photo but so much better than the last one

she's better later, it's worth it... the characters have really nice character development

this tweet has a short video about the weapons in The Blood of Youth https://twitter.com/lycheefrost/status/1617844766686973953
i recommend the drama too

I agree the weaponry in The Blood of Youth was really well done and I was taken aback at first when I saw his sword. I guess I'm just reasoning to myself that xianxia tries to go for more ethereal and pastel aesthetics for the heavenly realm, which results in this

Ashes of Love definitely fits

you sound traumatized by past xianxia experiences 😂

that's the hilarity we need now

I agree about the kiss scenes, some other directors are a little better at angles and lighting for them but they're not terrible. Also, just wondering if you've seen scenes that were cut for for ep 26, 27, and 32? They're pretty simple little kisses, no reason they should have been cut. Thought from your comment that you might not have seen them. I started a new discussion with links to them
