A video on how the CQL team, in particular Ms Yang Xia, selected the cast. This is a very eye opening video explaining what she saw in each actor and how she made the selection. She really has very discerning eyes and a Midas touch. Unfortunately this video has not been subbed yet, but nonetheless, a valuable insight:

However, having seen your lists, I have second thought. You are watching pretty serious stuff (like I used to), and I'm not sure if this is your cup of tea.

Yes, this may be the best decision you make for 2019 XD. Have fun! We do here.

Yeah, and then this: https://youtu.be/tunbAWCTbrg
Crazy teenagers! There are so many of his videos on Youtube when he was with the Korean boy band. Yibo is just unhumanly good looking. My god! XD

Or maybe it's just a ruse? So that in future when he's with Xiao Zhan, we won't think too much of it when they exchange gazes at each other; we may just take it as, "This is just Yibo's thing". This way, he can protect Xiao Zhan's reputation, even when he himself can't hold on to himself. XDXDXD. (I don't know what I'm talking about; my imagination just runs wild - all Yibo's fault. LOL!)

Imagine if Yibo does this gesture (kissing) to Xiao Zhan. What would Xiao Zhan do? (I think he may faint. XD) And what would your reaction be?

It's as if, if he doesn't come out with some outrageous stuff everyday, his butt itches. XD. Wang Yibo, Wang Yibo (shaking my head).

Comparing him to Xiao Zhan, what a world of differences! In Xiao Zhan's latest appearance, he was so cautious, humble, polite and modest. It almost aches me to see him taking all the steps to ensure nothing goes wrong. And here we have Yibo, couldn't wait to make us crazy! XD.

How can such two very different people, together, make such amazing chemistry, and make us want more of that chemistry?

Don't we love him the way he is!

This Yibo is really badass XD: https://twitter.com/i/status/1196106796840165376
Sigh! What are we going to do with him? He's the craziest and most adorable celebrity I know.

Especially with girls. When talking to girls, his answers are usually curt and likely to be one-worded. XD

Good for you! Way to go! XD

Isn't that a beautiful phrase to express the hole we're in in Chinese? 走火入魔 (zou huo ru mo). Only 4 characters and it says everything to the point - literally meaning "Running into the fire, entering into the demonic world". They use this phrase a lot in Chinese wuxia stories. So maybe it's good to know it. :))

OMG! These videos are so so sooooo cute!

Yes, after your first view, you need to re-watch and you'll find you pick up new things every time you re-watch especially on the Lan Wangji character. It's just so amazing!

Hahaha, aren't we gossipy? Fun though, something to keep us all here after 3 months. XD.

Love this drama so far. So intense even from the first episode.

I'm enjoying this drama. The only thing is I don't like how they like to always portray girls chasing after boys in Chinese dramas as if girls are hungry for love and marriages. It's really demeaning for girls and I dislike it so much.

I find myself not a very loyal fan. Previously I fell head-over-toe for Hu Ge, Eddie Peng, Li Xian, Deng Lun etc. Now, I'm like, Huang Xuan who? (used to like him so much) Still like Hu Ge, Li Xian and Deng Lun a lot but I move on. My new favorites are these two, perhaps until the day, another drama that is better than The Untamed comes along. :D

I also realize that what we love about these actors is because of the characters they play. In private, these actors may as well be as assholes as our ex-es, who knows? After all, they're only humans like us. :)

Yeah, it's just so sad that I'm living in a country that claims to be the frontier of everything, is still so behind in so many.

Can't imagine if they had made Wen Qing or Yanli Wei Ying's lover. Come to think of it, I feel sick! XD.
