cute bts.. this is why casting is so important. XK posture, demeanor, and just the way he holds his hands gives the right aura. These are not things that a director can tell you to do. XK has always had this childlike sense of humor about him in bts of every drama. Seven Tan is like okay let's serious.

What drama is that you have a clip of kissing scene with a blind man?

JX was not impulsive quitting her job. The boss and coworkers made it miserable for her. She worked at Guangsha because it was a stable job and she's been saving up for down payment on a flat with Yichen so they can get marry. Even though she loves her work and is the chief architect of the robot, but she stuck to a job that was not treating her well, a boss who lies to her and coworker who takes credit for her work. She did all this (incl. going out of her way for a bonus) for Yichen who complained she's working too much. The stable job was holding her back. At least Yichen recognized their goals in life are not the same and wanted her to be the best version she can be.

There are too many amazing camera shots in this drama. In the novel, there are iconic Han Ting just happens to be in the elevator scenes. There was one such scene in the drama when she was working late and got into the elevator and what do you, there is Han Ting. There was one elevator scene in the novel that I always remembered how she almost got trapped by the door if Han Ting didn't pull her back in and she is up against his body. It seems in the drama; they've recaptured that same feeling numerous times in various scenes esp. the one where they are in Germany together and he steps forward, and she is taken aback and then he pulls her forward (if I'm remembering it right).

Its indescribable the feeling of HT and JX. I'm rewatching from the beginning and oh my, the transformations.

The drama never focused on that relationship. When you are watching it, you don't' even think about it.

JX: We've been working in this industry for years. We only think of its advantages. I've never thought of its possible hidden dangers. If one day, AI can act like humans and even exceed humans, will it become a new species? Would you like to see that day coming?
HT: Before I didn't care, but I have you guys. So, no.

She looks very nice in strapless dresses because she's not bony looking. She's actually very pretty. She and Xu Kai both have sweet face.

The ep that helps me to understand JX is ep 36 hospital scene, the two reconciled.

The actor who played the kidnapper (Zhu) was really good too, but I don't see him in the list of casts. Seven Tan's terrified eyes and cries were so realistic. HT fractured his spine when Zhu pushed him against the metal pipe. I saw a still picture of HT's face when he was fighting Zhu. It was a look of a murderous crazy villain ready to kill and I mean HT not Zhu. But watching the drama, the action is so fast, easy to miss it. You're right the kidnap scene is captivating and well done. A lot happens but it happens so fast. Seven Tan deserves an award for that scene!!! she has the most realistic cries I've ever heard. I like to see bts of them falling off the building or were they stunts? But they went from her crying scene to the hospital scene too fast, must be some scenes were edited out?

Tencent Top Urban drama May to July #1 Rose (6/8) #2 ABAY (7/2)

The last scene felt so complete and perfect. Han Ting's eyes, his face radiated with deep affection, admiration, and love for Ji Xing in his usual restrained, calm, and deliberate manner. Ji Xing looked at him adoringly with the same love and affection, her gushing at him that makes Han Ting happy. After she says "Mr. Han", he seems to nod with his eyes and mouth as if to say, "I'm satisfied". Xu Kai and TSY are the perfect Han Ting and Ji Xing.

I wonder who the driver was? Did car or location have special meaning? It was also how they first met in ep. 1, she was riding a bike, and he was in a car.

I'll always remember 31.

SAF6 has nothing to do with CP4 or any of the other Chinese Paladin series other than the story setting builds on the nine 9 springs.
This is how a gamer explained it, in terms of chronology in the universe timeline:
4 and 6 are the most standalones with the least connections (none)
4 connects to 3 due to a different sword that's discovered later on (not any of the swords you see in the Ep1 of the show, it's a different one)
3's MC finds the sword and goes on their adventure where the antagonist Chong Lou (who doesn't fall in love with Zi Xuan in the game) is just obsessed with fighting MC. Chong Lou appears in 7.
3 side story introduces Situ Zhong, The drunken swordmaster, who is the Master of Li Xiaoyao in 1 and NOT A ru's father in the game.
1 is the one that started it all, with Li Xiaoyao/Zhao Ling'er/Ling Yueru/A Ru.
2 continues the story with the child of Li Xiaoyao and a young kid from Xiaoyao's village, Wang Xiaohu. Xiaohu meets Shen Qishuang who also later appears in 7.
5 prequel is separated from most of the other characters but introduces the father of the MC to 5, you actually play as one of the friends of the father of the MC to 5. The sect from 1 that Li Xiaoyao joins/joined is also here and plays a fairly big role.
5 introduces the grandchild of Li Xiaoyao, Li Xiaoyao's student, and a cameo by A Ru.
6 is completely disconnected from characters but reworks the world where there's a bit more solid lore with the 9 springs.
7 builds more on the lore of the 9 springs, as mentioned before Chong Lou from 3 appears, Shen Qishuang from 2 appears.
There's not much to worry about "missing" anything as the two that are currently out now (4 and 6)- 4 is the beginning of the franchise in terms of timeline and 6 is a disconnect/rebuild story.

During its airing, it was #1 first two weeks, #2, then #3 final week and remained in the top ten for two more weeks. It was the most popular online drama for Q1 Maoyan in 2024.

According to AvenueX, CP4 costs over 300 million rmb to make. I don't know what SAF6 budget is but the creator of Sword and Fairy games lamented that SAF6 had financial issues and didn't have the kind of budget to bring to life the kinds of magnificent scenes in the gameplay.

ratings don't have to make sense

XK: "I said that I felt like I was really married that day. We just kept running, then hugged, then carried you and ran. It just felt very strange. I have never experienced this kind of nervous feeling. It just felt a little nervous."

Dahuang is fat but cats are very fast and can get into all sorts of places.

I think "seaside to seaside" means ABAY was filmed at seaside of Qingdao and now XK is at seaside of Haikou filming.
3/5/23 birthday vlog, XK was in Qingdao filming ABAY, he shares sea breeze of Qingdao
