for some reason my brain didn't connect it to the candle scene omg! to me it was just XH playing up how nicely he's treating a'zhao after being acknowledged as his brother-in-law 😆 i guess it could've also been his cheesy attempt at a flirty innuendo LOL

yeah, dubbing's the norm especially for historical dramas considering how noisy it is on set. and i think higher-pitched voices are preferred for FLs? but i do love WJY's original voice... in her last live she said she'll dub herself in Kill Me Love Me so i'm looking forward to that 👀✨

take care!!! i hope you'll be able to come back to this drama some time in the future in a healthier state so you can enjoy it to its fullest! there's a bunch of insane characters (lol) but it really is a feel-good drama with captivating leads and lots of entertainment ☺️

oh gosh yes it's very interesting to look into how the creative team had been super intentional about their outfit colours! i think in that scene especially, the colours were a good indication of the character relationships 👀 to me XFF dressed in XH's black just reinforces that she's comfortable with him + she's consciously choosing to be with him

i had a working list of links of interviews + bts clips sitting in my drafts since a while back and your question gave me a good reason to finish it up and post it HA here's everything i could find put together in one convenient place!!!

director ma shi ge is in my good books bc he understands the power of their chemistry and delivered us the bonus ep... the other 2 however are on thin ice 😤

today they finally finished filming 🥳

now they're releasing bts clips of stuff they shot but weren't kept in the final cut aaaa (like the back hug after they planted the wintersweet) like wdym we could've gotten more cute moments in the carriage 🥺

that's an AI edit 🙈

oh amazing!! i'll go check out and read your discussion post :>

sure thing!! go right ahead ^^

it's stylish AND functional hahaha

language is so fun (and confusing)

i wonder which one is best! i hear viki has really upped their subbing game in recent years

i'm switching between chinese - english - my native language as i watch and wow the eng subs can really lose out on nuance/accuracy! a brief example: in ep 2 during the leads' first dialogue together, the translation of XH's line is simply "interesting" but what he says is more like "you're quite interesting" — i wish the translation wasn't so condensed in english! but it's also really interesting to see the differences heh

yeah unfortunately it can take a while due to copyright issues... i once had to wait a whole year for another drama's ost album 😩 hopefully with the double's popularity they'll consider releasing it sooner than later!!

seen some people say maybe july 13 or 20... i'm crossing my fingers we'll get it ASAP!

if you enjoyed WJY's acting, her character in story of yanxi palace is very very fun to watch ^^ as cnetz like to say: revenge is her domain (lol)
