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.
WKX made a choice to join the Ghost Valley but the alternative was him getting killed.

He also made a choice to wreak havoc in the world but that’s because otherwise, those responsible for his parents’ death would never pay for their crimes.
So yeah, they had a choice but also, did they really?

But here, on this snowy mountain, they actually have a choice and it started with A-Xu choosing forever with Lao Wen. For Lao Wen, it’s not even a choice, it’s just a law of the universe: where A-Xu is, is where he belongs.
But also, this whole immortality business is fully in their control, they literally get to choose when to end it and it’s such a gentle choice too?

If they get tired of this “forever”, all they have to do is go down the mountain and have some food.

Easy as that.
It’s literally up to them when they want to end things and that can be when everyone else is gone and they no longer have any strings attached to this world.

And what do they get to do? Literally have a honeymoon down the mountain, enjoying food and wine and slowly aging.
They get to travel around the world, book an inn and sightsee, order a bunch of local delicacies (Lao Wen orders all the new liquor for A-Xu), and just spend their remaining days.

Together.

Because they actually have the choice for once.

#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 Image
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 😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️ ImageImage

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

thinking about enemies-to-lovers (kinda) wenzhou where zzs’s a highly respected cultivator while wkx’s known as one of the most prominent cultivators of the demonic arts

and they’re just perfect opposites, constantly at each other’s throat bc zzs’s the only one able to stop wkx
if zzs isn’t stopping wkx from doing something bad, then it’s probably because he’s on his way to stop wkx from doing something bad

it got to the point where it’s become a thing for them, where if one of them shows up, the other one’s probably not far behind
if zzs’s on a relatively easy mission to get rid of some pesky demonic beasts terrorizing a small village, wkx’s probably going to show up and make things a hundred times worse

and if wkx’s trying to terrorize a village, zzs’s probably going to appear to stop him

one of the funniest things after getting to know gj is realizing just how fkn DIFFERENT wkx is

like this man is polar opposite, i have no idea how gj managed to act him out and to the point where he's SO PERFECTLY in character?? every time he says flirty words, im like, how?????
and also wkx's got that young master elegance DOWN PAT, so slow and confident...

...until you see gj, and yes he works out and yes he surfs so his coordination isnt completely off, but just sometimes, he acts like a tall person who doesn't know what to do with his too-long limbs
and i find that fkn hilarious bc when you see wkx, you're like yes king! nail that elegantly slow gait! you're so expensive!

and also the flirty looks and flirty words? the way he looks at zzs like he's stripping him bare? his gaze is so impure compared to gj's usual puppy eyes
