If you're only interested in the sweet Love Between Fairy and Devil kisses, I suggest you skip the text and just enjoy my gifs because I'm about to get crass.
Do you ever look at the LBFAD kisses and think yeah Dylan Wang knows how to fuck?
Look sorry if you think I'm a philistine or whatever but I've watched a lot of bad screen kisses and cdramas are especially full of them. Certainly some of that is directing or actor chemistry, and the authoritarian hand the Chinese government has in what airs.
But even the kisses that made it on screen in LBFAD have an intimacy that understands the physicality of kissing. Like these look like the kisses of people forced accidentally into a situation where they have to kiss and who eventually fall in love. These are kisses of people in love.
I'm old and unafraid to tell you that I have fucked a lot of people of many genders and sometimes you can see in advance by the way the person moves and the way they pay attention to you if it'll be good. And I've written several novels in which sex and intimacy integral to the character development which means I have spent a lot of time thinking about what makes sex good, and how it can be enjoyable to a reader, which has the same qualities as what can make a kiss enjoyable to watch. So I'm something of an expert. 😂
The intensity, more importantly the sense of intimacy, and the underlying emotion being exposed to the viewer/reader is what makes it compelling.
Like the inclusion of their hands here is what really sends this over the top, making it so romantic and telling the love story.
But in every kiss Dylan Wang just really, really brings it. Maybe he's simply a stunningly good actor. Or maybe he really knows how to fuck and compellingly brings that to the screen. The full cut kiss is still pretty chaste, very romantic, but it's also searingly hot. Like there's a physicality to it that just screams 'yeah, this guy can fuck, and he's going to make it good for you.' (I think I read somewhere that he let Esther Yu take the lead in every kiss to make sure was comfortable and only touched in ways she was comfortable with. Consent is also searingly hot.)
I tried to gif the cut kiss but there's really too much of it for my skills so let's just go back to the video, shall we?

Esther Yu looks like she might have forgotten her own name there for a second. But I mean, can you blame her?
Yes this is what I'm thinking about over my coffee first thing in the morning.
