Oh I love this popcorn! Pass more and slather on the butter please. Surprise late fall C-drama hit Love Game in Eastern Fantasy ended last week and there were complaints of the lack of kissing scenes in the drama. Especially with how bottled up inside male lead Ding Yu Xi‘s character was, I could totally see hot make outs of the hate/love and love/love variety with Yu Shu Xin. But now we know why, at least according to insider gossip, and it legit makes sense. Apparently the leads openly and actively did NOT get along during the filming as one person frequently asked for leave from the production to go do variety programs which annoyed the shit out of the other person. And yes, I’m purposely not identifying which is whom. The led to the production being unable to write in and film any kissing scenes because of the tension between them. But filming was last year and with time passed and the drama doing so well, the leads are now fully fine with each other and that is now water under the bridge. To the extent both are fine with working together again if the opportunity arises.

That sounds silly didn’t they have kiss scenes in Moonlight? The behind the scenes also didn’t have any hints of discord. Seems like a stretch.
Yeah it’s a stretch since it’s not the first time for them to work together
I saw the BTS too and they seemed pretty friendly with eachother...this seems pretty far fetched....
Umm spoiler to the drama

The reason the drama didn't have a kiss scene was because the the story/novel that she jumped into is written by the male lead when he was in middle school. And you might argue "she changed the story" but in the end we realise that he wrote those changes too. So... Really it's not a big deal.
I call that bs. This is their 2nd project together and behind the scenes videos show them laughing together for both TV series.
This is true. I do think they had kiss scenes (the "underwater" one especially) but for some reason was cut off from the final product.
I dont know which of these two did lots of variety shows. But variety show is a good form of marketing. The popularity of artistes will always help in their future projects. It does seen narrow minded for anyone to get annoyed. I will read with a pinch of salt.
Anyway, be it true or not, they are getting along well now. I do hope they can work together again.
One one of their promotions they were asked what role they'd like to play given a chance to work together again and YSX said she'd like to play a big star and she'd like him to be an anti-fan reporter. DYX said he'd like them to be childhood sweethearts since in their 2 dramas they met later in life already. Fans responded both elements should be in their next collaboration. Rumor is that they already have new scripts, they just have to decide which and commit to one. YSX is currently filming Star Trails with He Yu.
Childhood sweetheart will be a popular theme...
That's easy to find out. It was Ding Yuxi. However, let's not forget a couple of things. 1- he was a last minute replacement for another actor, and 2- his schedule was very likely already known by the production so should not have come as a surprise to anyone. Therfore, I don't believe this news.
Shooting out scenes are scheduled and if one of the leads had variety commitments, the production would (re)schedule it around the availability of the actor so as not to waste time.
Actually, the rumor last year during the shooting was DYX was not in a good mood due to the failure of LYST. That seemed a more legit reason because of how he gave 120% acting on that show, but his costar was just reading out her lines leading to some of the bts scenes issues when they were promoting the show. DYX seemed to be pressured to do well since he's always been a good actor who does his best given the material, and LYST was hotly anticipated due to the success of LBFAD. Not saying it was all his costar's fault. The cgi and styling of lyst was topnotch as expected of stellar, but I think the director didn't measure up. The writing may have been meh as well.
Lol you should take a look at some of his behavior before you throw stones at other people. Netizens don't like him for a good reason.
What behavior lmao. Are you defending YCY's acting? DYX has a rep of being too nice and kind. It's a fact that lot of people dropped LYST due to YCY.
Yeah the story of lyst is a mess. The source material was good but they change so many things. And aren’t there a lot of nepo babies there? Cause lot of small role suddenly have a lot of story going on
I remember when there were period a few years ago when it got common for such behaviour. It really affect the dramas badly. Top idols had 30-40%% screentime..rest were supporting new casts.. I felt ripped off.
hahahaha lol and there are so many delulu fans shipping them because of variety show stills & bts vids... I never felt chemistry between them in drama OR in variety show details now it makes more sense.
I call this bs.
Dyx and ysx filming hi6 before lgief airs, and from the bts and shows they look close. Dyx keeps tab of ysx cr8 filming, meaning they’re close enough to ysx sharing what she does in paris for cr8 filming.
He knows ysx doing balancing pot before the shows aired it.
Now if the rumor true, about they already have script to choose for 3rd collab, i hope they pick the modern drama ones, i want hot kissing scene between them, the ones in moonlight isn’t enough for me😅
I don't think it was because of them not fond of each other. The BTS shows that they were all on good terms though we can't assume that everything captured in the video was true. But, at least if they were not on good terms, it would show at least a bit of trace. In Hello Saturday, Ding Yu Xi even knew about Esther used to balance a hotpot which meant that at least he kept in touch with her. I don't the lack of kiss scenes was due to their disliking each other. IMO it's something to do with either the censorship or screenwriter or something else
Why would anyone believe what goes on in hello Saturday is all spontaneous and real is beyond me. These varieties are all scripted and the guests fed lines and guided as to how to react. No different from korean varieties and youtube shows
I'm not a person who can't distinguish of what is scripted or not. I know almost all variety shows are all scripted, but at least they didn't seem uncomfortable with each other. I don't like variety shows, but I watch them occasionally like Running Man in the past and some of other variety shows. So, I don't think I have those delusional thoughts. The lines that Ding Yu Xi said during the QnA game, I know that it might be scripted because they were just too sweet, but not all the interactions were not spontaneous. I also know that they were being that close with each other were due to them had to promote their dramas. But, IMO, watching their BTS and other videos leaked by their fans, they were not in the terms of disliking each other. I'm not them, nor their friends and I just like them as an actor and actress, so I don't have any intentions to have any delusional thoughts as well :)
I’m gonna say this sounds like total BS based on behind the scenes interactions of the leads and the fact that they did Moonlight on IQIYI which had multiple kiss scenes…
I find it really hard to believe that if they had a blow up of that magnitude they would be this cool several months after filming had ended for him to buy multiple copies of her magazine photoshoot for her birthday and also wanting to collaborate for a third time 🤔
True about the buying magazine copies. DYX spent 100k RMB+ to support YSX's COSMO magazine launch by buying 1218 sets (YSX's birthday) - that's like 14k USD.
So yes, I agree that if they "hated" each other this much at one point, they wouldn't be able to shower this much support to each other now.
So yes I call this BS. There was even the cutout kissing scene in the water bubble scene. It's really just a direction that the production has taken, making the show more family friendly and also YSX's and DYX's characters are young/teens and that's probably the actual reason they changed so much regarding the first couple's romance.
I would call this a BS, I saw a lot of BTS and they seem not be able to stop laughing with each other, and Ding Yu Xi said he is always willing to coax his costar Esther anytime, I don't think he will be that pissed if she is going on VS , But I know that costars sometimes they just don't wanna do kissing scenes for one reason or other
I don't believe these "Insiders". Read somewhere that there was a kissing scene when Ziqi and Miaomiao were trapped inside the Demon water queen's dream bubble but it's too similar to the scene of Love between fairy and devil so they cut it to avoid any comparison. Not sure if it is true though.
Any news if they'll air the scenes they cut in a special episode or something? I love their pairing and I want more from my fave OTP!!! They are so magical together.
