ASTER:
The chemistry between the characters is undoubtedly lovely, but after 21 episodes, I find myself missing a proper steamy kiss or an intimate embrace. While I understand the strict censorship in Chinese dramas, which limits how much they can adapt from the novel, there is still room for creativity. They could have conveyed the passion and intensity of their connection through implied gestures or subtle storytelling, staying within the boundaries while still capturing the essence of the original material.
And what was the point of watching 800 kiss clips if they never intended to incorporate them into the show? It’s like they prepared but decided not to deliver—lol! 😂
That 800 kiss clips were just sugar fon the fans. The ML had many kiss scenes in previous works and in any case thats not the way actors are prepared for intimate scenes
But lets face reality, with a very few exceptions, xianxia or historical chinese dramas have little to no intimacy (or they have some really bad acted and directed intimate scenes)
