I'm still salty they never played Yang Zi and Tan Jianci's version of 偏爱人间烟火 (Prefer Mortal Fireworks). It really is an unspoken love for YaoLiu... (T△T)
Welp. I hope both Yang Zi and Tan Jianci can perform it one day.
Agree with everything you said, especially this part, "While we've seen variations of this selfless sacrifice…
I believe he has met many women before since he has his flirty hedonist Fangfeng Bei identity after all. But Xiao Yao was his first true love and the only person he shared an emotional connection with. As for why no one likes Xiang Liu except for Xiao Yao, that's because Xiao Yao was the only one who saw Xiang Liu's true self and realized that he is not a cold-hearted demon like what many people have said.
There was a time before LYF??? lolYes, I remember not being that taken with the trailer, but that first episode…
hahaha even I can't believe there was a time before LYF. That first ep was indeed gorgeous, the production team really knew how to make a great entrance to their show. I love the kids' acting too. And do we need to say more about ep 3? 🤣
Just feeling nostalgic comparing how I felt before and after I watched LYF. 💔
When the first trailer dropped, I was excited because yay! a new costume drama from my fav actress. Though I'm not gonna lie, the trailer and synopsis confused me so bad lol. The only thing I knew was that Yang Zi and the guy who yelled "Is it wrong that I want to be with you forever?" were amazing actors.
I originally watched LYF with a grain of salt but quickly realized just how complex and interesting the story was, and that was what made me fall in love with it - it was unique from other dramas. At first, I liked Ye Shiqi and wished he would be the endgame, even though Xiang Liu was incredibly hot lol. I never expected that the latter would be the character I end up loving the most. His development and selfless love are top tier, nothing can compare. I didn't even care that much about my fav actress's character anymore LMAO
Now that I've finished, my stance on Yang Zi's and Zhang Wanyi's acting stays the same but I'm adding Tan Jianci too. Xiang Liu is a really difficult character to portray yet Tan Jianci made it look effortless. LYF is definitely a story that I'll remember forever.
Ohh that. Yeah that was annoying. I'd love to give you my QR code to scan but unfortunately I only had my account for 2 weeks 🥲 When I created mine, I just did the card verification method. But if you'd rather do the QR code scan then you could wait if TaliaToo is able to provide theirs or if someone else is willing to.
The drama is built around Xiang Liu and Xiao Yao. I clearly see that Xiang Liu is the main character in this drama,…
Love this explanation. No doubt, Xiang Liu is the main character. He didn't receive as much screentime as the other leads but still stole the spotlight, and hearts of many viewers like me haha. Despite the changes, you can tell that the drama poured a lot of thought into his scenes, Ex: his first appearance as you mentioned, Xiao Yao seeing Bei for the first and second time, her discovering Bei's identity, even the final episode was more focused on him instead of the supposed happy ending lol.
Agree with everything you said, especially this part, "While we've seen variations of this selfless sacrifice…
Xiang Liu suffered a tragic and lonely past. Since the day he hatched out of the egg, his parents were nowhere to be found. He spent so many years fighting in the slave arena just like Left Ear. Hence, when he received kindness from Hong Jiang and Xiao Yao, he spent his entire life generously repaying them back. He also fell in love with Xiao Yao because of their similar experiences; they could understand and confide in each other.
