I need you all to understand that #WenZhou literally gave up everything and chose to be with each other for eternity.

To survive, they can learn the art that allowed Ye Baiyi to live that long; however, it comes at a cost:

From my understanding, the practitioner has to pretty much live in areas of extreme cold and can no longer eat human food as it would deteriorate their body. They can only feed off on ice and snow to maintain their body.

If maintained, they live forever, with no end in sight. ImageImageImageImage
Here, Zhou Zishu makes the following comment:

“To live like that, or to die right here... I’ll have to weigh [the pros and cons]”.

I need you to remember how this man literally nailed 7 nails into his own body in exchange for 3 years of freedom. ImageImageImage
That’s how much he loves freedom.

And yet, all that freedom means nothing to him when compared to more time than he could ever ask for with Wen Kexing. The fact that he is willing to give up what we would understand as “freedom” to spend forever with his soulmate...
In ep 14, he mentioned how he would rather live 10 days freely than live 10 years against his own will.

The wording here is so important because his choice in the end isn’t going against his previous claim. If anything, it reinforces the fact that Wen Kexing IS his own will. ImageImage
Also, just to tie this thread to the special episode: in the special episode, we see the following comment being made

“The two have been fighting for a whole lifetime. When immortals start fighting, who knows then it’ll end.” ImageImageImageImage
This implies that Wen Kexing and Zhou Zishu have forever.

If they have forever, that means that they both willingly gave up roaming the human realm and chose to stay in an area of extreme cold, feeding ice and snow for eternity.

Together.

Forever.

#ChineseRestaurant5 watch thread!

Can’t believe I’m saying this but I already can’t wait for Junjun to arrive just to save them in the kitchen 😂 looking at HXM’s previous season cuts, this man seems like a menace in the kitchen lmfao
YAN = 2nd princess (BC ZH IS REAL PRINCESS!!!!!)

LMFAO YAN is talking about how she doesn't want to wipe her face bc her makeup's gonna get smeared but HXM hit her with a "don't be too delicate bc once you start working, then your makeup's REALLY gonna get smeared"
ZHOU YE DAUGHTER IS HERE AHHHHHHH LIL BALL OF SUNSHINE SO PRETTY 😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️

#ZhangZhehan Clinique livestream thread (we’ll see how much I do since it’s like 2AM here 🙃)

wondering how long he’ll be on for, 30 mins? 1hr? also currently it’s just the host and a female guest (host?) chatting, lp hasn’t come on yet
they’re presenting those mini hand-fans and all i can think about is lp’s small red fan that he had on him 24/7 on shl set hhhhhhhhhhhhhh
cant see these names but I think I see JZ in there 😂😂😂

since i wasn’t needed to find a lg flavour, how about a tiny restaurant AU? 🌝

imagine lg and lp running a small hole in the wall restaurant, a blink and you miss it kind of place but every person who’ve had food there once would unfailingly make another reservation
lg is in charge of the kitchen while lp acts as the host, waiter and sommelier

people who go there for the first time would question how the two came to work together when they… clearly don’t seem to get along?
lg would never let lp step one foot into the kitchen while lp would rather dance the chacha for 2 hours than let lg anywhere near his precious wine collection

while watching their constant bickering about one thing or another makes for amazing dinner entertainment,

Thread about junzhe’s amazing 眼神戏 (gaze acting?) bc with every rewatch of SHL, i just get more and more appreciative of it

(honestly, you can pretty much just throw it under the whole “acting” umbrella so you could also take this thread as me 🌈 farting junzhe’s acting 😌) ImageImageImageImage
so what exactly is 眼神戏? it’s basically when a simple gaze is all you need to understand the emotions of the character, without needing any words

for example: here, without saying anything and with his measuring gaze alone, you can tell that wkx is intrigued by zzs ImageImage
why is it so important??

眼神戏 is a weird little thing where if the actors excel at it, it takes their acting to a whole new level and the viewing experience is immersive (for us) but if they dont, we, as viewers, have a hard time buying the emotions or getting into it

Reading this thread just made me think about how SHL’s ending really gave wenzhou the power of choice, and this time, it’s with no strings attached.

Because if you think about it, circumstances out of their control kept pushing them into a certain direction.
You can’t say that they never had a choice because they clearly did, but it always felt like they were stuck between a rock and a hard place, and the choice was never truly up to them?
ZZS made a choice to join Prince Jin because if he didn’t, the Four Seasons Manor would not have survived the constant attacks.

He also made a choice to nail himself in exchange for freedom but that was because the alternative was to continue killing for someone else.

i think one of the funniest things to me is how a portion of seasoned cdrama watchers went into the SHL concert all jaded like “🚬 bet they’re gonna try and break cp 🚬 let’s just hope they do it gently 🚬”

then concert happened and so many people turned into lld shippers 😂
like i wonder if you understand just how unconventional that whole experience was?? while i was hoping to get fed with maybe just a few crumbs, we instead got a full 9-course meal’s worth of food (im mean, im STILL rewatching concert content and dying)
and this just absolutely blows my mind? the fact that not only did lld not lose a bunch of fans post-concert, it actually managed drag a whole new group in?? to get a bunch of people to go from “nahhhh” to “okay wait a sec maybe there’s really something there oh god 🤡”
