I actually kinda understand ZD. For at least a decade, she has dedicated her life to HT. She made herself revolve…
HT has been very kind to her always. Even scolding her, he presents her with a banquet of her favorite dishes. He has always let her know where she stands with him and not cross the line. He wants to keep her friendship and partnership but once she crossed that line, actually, it was after he told her he's already in a relationship, that he saw the look on her face, and knew right there and then, he needs to cut ties with her.
About their hook up scene: So when HT was teasing JX, she clearly got an idea that he wants to hook up with her.…
HT was serious about the bet that if she loses, she has to do whatever he asks, and he knew what he wanted from her. So, when he won, he stared at her like okay I'm ready but seeing the look on her face, he pretended that he was only teasing and said forget it. Upon hearing "tease", she understood what he wanted. Then he gave her a necklace and as he is putting it on her, she felt closeness and wanted him too. So, she said, since you can give me 3.5% of the shares, I lost so I should honor the bet too, but she really just wanted him. The morning after, she couldn't believe she did it. It's all happening too fast for her. She doesn't even know what their relationship is. She was late for work too, so she snuck out. Han Ting has a way of flirting with her that she cannot resist, and HT also cannot resist her, but neither of them have really discuss being in a relationship, so she's confused what came over her, what just happened. Also, she never thought she is in his league, that he could choose her. But earlier that night, she also realized that Han Ting has been very nice to her before.
I'm not fluent because I left HK at 5 yrs old. My parents were not strict about speaking Chinese at home even though they don't speak English. Even though they were from villages, I supposed they were in HK long enough they picked up a lot of Hong Kong dialect. Someone I know says that people in Guangzhou dialect is very similar to Hong Kong dialect, so he thinks they are similar because people from Guangzhou probably migrated to Hong Kong. It's a requirement for actors to be able to get rid of their accents like in USA, actors from the Midwest, they cannot use Midwest accent in movies. I saw a comment in Douban that it's harder to change Cantonese accent to Official Mandarin accent than it is for someone with Mandarin accent. So Xu Kai is going to have to work hard to get rid of his accent otherwise, he cannot use his voice in costume dramas. He has accent to both Hong Kongers and to Mainland China. It's no wonder, I saw comments about both his Cantonese and Mandarin. Also, Xu Kai's parents are not originally from Guangdong area, so they also have an accent from the area of China they came from. This would explain why Xu Kai's accent is a mixture of accents.
I see what you mean. There is a difference between those in Hong Kong and those outside of Hong Kong city. I am not fluent, but I can speak some Cantonese, but my parents were from villages outside of Hong Kong. Xu Kai's Cantonese sounds just like the way I heard it growing up.
Is this not good? https://www.youtube.com/shorts/BePaQ-WRrr8?feature=share "Actually, in this world, the most touching phrase is not "I love you", nor "I want you". In this lifetime, the most heartfelt phrase is hearing someone say, "I will accompany you."
I read a comment that they think the directors shot as many kissing and intimate scenes before the leads became too familiar with each other; otherwise, they will laugh too much. I tend to think it would be better for them to be more familiar with each other first.
I thought HT was always just joking but he was not. HT won the bet and was ready for his feast. Judging from her face, he pretended it was just a tease and cancelled it.

Put two horns on both sides of Chang He's head, a pointed beard, and give him a red cape and pitchfork, he would look like a devil.
there are never enough close ups
