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 😭😭♥️♥️♥️♥️
bruh she's actually so pretty oh my god
the way the mood lifted as soon as she arrived sfkdhfkjsh HXM's Ye-zi's upperclassman (same uni), technically shishu level but he said not to call him that cause it's too old
HXM: so can you cook?
YAN: :))))) mmmmm :)))) i cook for myself sometimes? i can make sure people dont get send to the hospital?
HXM: so can you cook?
Ye-zi: :) mmmmmm :) i can but :) im not that good :)
HXM: why is everyone's reaction the same! :)
DING DING IS HERE!!
THE MOOD IS SO AWKWARD IM LAUGHING SO MUCH everyone's so polite and just awkwardly smiling and nodding
HXM: how old are you?
DD: I'm 20
HXM: ohh so the youngest, im uncle age
DD: Uncle!
HXM: THAT WAS A JOKE DONT ACTUALLY CALL ME THAT
THE QUESTION IS BACK
HXM: Can you cook
DD: I don't know 🤣🤣
me: sdkjfshhfkdhkSKDJFHDKSH THIS CAST IS HOPELESS JUNJUN HURRY UP AND ARRIVE ALREADY, SAVE THEM BEFORE THEY DESTROY THE KITCHEN
NING JING JIE IS HERE AHHHHH
she’s so freaking savage I love her
PD: why are you here?
NJ: cause I watched a prev season, I cant say which one but Xiao ming was in it, and it was bad 🙂 I’m here to make things fun
God I love her no-nonsense attitude, you already know she's gonna be great
NJ: everyone belongs in the kitchen, you cant not be in the kitchen, otherwise xiao ming would never be in there since he's the manager
she's pranking HXM by making him run to her trailer to fetch her sun jacket
AHHHHH HE DID HIS (IN)FAMOUS LINE IN RESPONSE TO HER PROMPT "不要你觉得,要我觉得" BUT HE FLIPPED IT TO "Don't need for me to feel like it, as long as you feel like it"
HXM and NJ are both 70', they were saying how they could've given birth to DD since he's only 20 🤣🤣
WILD JUN JUN SPOTTED IN A CUT!!!!!!!!
oho, they get to decide their start-up investment!
THEY WERE SO HAPPY BUT THEN IT TURNS OUT THEY HAVE TO PAY FROM THEIR OWN POCKETS SO OF COURSE THEY GET TO DECIDE LMFAO
d'awww they're going to donate everything to help children
SDHFKSDJH IM DEAD POOR HXM HE'S BEING ABSOLUTELY CRUSHED BY NJ, CANT GET A SINGLE WORD IN
After deciding on initial investment of 20k:
HXM: so im the manager, ill pitch in the most
NJ: what, we're not worthy?
HXM: okay then everyone equal investment
NJ: DD's a child, you have the heart to do that?
HXM: JIE, YOU DECIDE!
NJ MENTIONED YAN'S DAD SDFHKJSDH SHE'S ACTUALLY FEARLESS, NOT AFRAID TO BRING UP THE TABOO SUBJECTS 🤣
NJ: Your dad's a founder, call him and ask him how to manage a resto. Or have him fund the whole 20k.
...
HXM: okay so that was a joke~
NJ: yes, we wont mention your dad anymore
oh shit the kitchen's so cool DAMN!!!!!! it's literally like transformers, the car just split apart and bam! kitchen
HXM: this is cool and all BUT IT'S OPEN AIR KITCHEN?? YOU WANT US TO DIE FROM HEAT???
wow it actually comes with AC
HXM: lets go through everyone's stuff to see what you brought!
Me: yeah like gj's joyoung pots and pans 😏😏😏
d'aww YAN is quite warm-hearted here 🥺 she prepped a whole care package with various medicine (anti-nausea, cold, anti-heat stroke, anti-inflammatory, disinfectant, etc.) for each person
the kitchen’s actually so cool damnnnnnn can you believe this is a mobile care? my god
GJ HURRY UP AND COME, HXM JUST ASKED WHO'S GONNA COOK TONIGHT, THEY NEED YOU
not only do i absolutely not trust these people to cook in the kitchen, i also do not trust them to keep the kitchen in a nice state 🤣🤣🤣🤣
meanwhile, we already know that junjun has the habit of cleaning immediately after he's done, bless him 😌👌
oh and speaking of junjun, im pretty sure he's gonna come later in the ep since he did arrive later when the show was filmed
hopefully he shows his face in THIS ep 🙃
AHHHHHHH THE SOUND OF METAL SPATULA ON METAL PAN NOOOOOOOO
jfc either these pans are made from titanium or it's just a pro cook thing but man, my heart bleeds from the way hxm was scrapping and stabbing the metal pan with his metal spatula 😭 no wooden spatula?
YE-ZI DONT LEAVE PAN UNATTENDED
oh ye-zi actually looks not too bad... although the amount of oil in that dish is a lil alarming 🥲
what they made for the first night!! top and bottom dishes are Ye-zi’s and then from left to right in the straight line:
HXM ➡️ NJ ➡️ YAN ➡️ DD
(i THINK that last one is DD's or it might be someone else's i missed it ksjhfds)
good lord ye-zi's pork and carrot is actually too greasy, NJ had to let the oil flow down a bit 🤣 but her greens were good, got praised! YAN's cold-mixed cucumbers were also good!
CRUMBS BUT FINALLY WE SEE A BIT MORE OF JUNJUN IN TODAY’S EPISODE 😭♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️ IM SO EXCITED FOR WHEN HE ACTUALLY COMES
YE ZI PRAISING JUNJUN!!!!
HXM: we have another person joining us
Yezi: YES! Gong jun's really good a cooking, ive seen his videos!

GJ: ohhh 360 degree camera! wait how am i going to shower tonight
PD: use 3 words to describe this experience
GJ: i've never been how would i know (THE SASS) unknown, hard-learning, courage
Theyre asking if he knows everyone and when it got to Yezi, he was like "ofc i know her, i call her meimei, we costarred in SHL (CUEING SHL AGAIN)"
About YAN: I feel like she's quite hardworking, singing and dancing. Hardworking people dont have bad luck. Excited to see everyone in person tho!
he talked about everyone else as well, just very normal ments
Yezi: AH GE! MY BRO'S HERE!

HOW DOES A SINGLE MAN LOOK SO FREAKING GOOD IM—
AND WE'RE BACK AGAIN
NJ CALLING THE CHEF'S OUT SDFHSKH: I see that he only transmits to men, not to women bc he only pointed to the men and i guess we're just here to do some in-between work
Headchef to GJ: you'll be learning with my apprentice and I'll take HXM and DD
BABY'S ALREADY CLEANING UP THE PLACE he's sweeping
Junjun's still munching away
I ALSO WANT TO ORDER GONG JUN'S FISH
when NJ-jie said they should have "so-and-so's dish (like GJ's fish)", Yezi and Junjunzi looked at each other and Yezi pointed at Junjunzi and they laughed I LOVE THEM

the part i talked above 🥺
junjunzi once again laughing so hard he goes out of the camera 😂
Next episode preview? I think the ep ended? (i might be wrong)

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 😌)
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
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
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.
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
