Always the rebel, Yang Lan fights the system at every turn. And Rocky is more than eager to do it with her. Feng Ling, however, is a rule follower, an adorable sheep.
And even though they've spent a short time together Rocky has Yang Lan mostly figured out. I love how quickly they get used to each other and how well they play off each other. That's true chemistry.
And all Rocky has is fruit to offer! Haha. He's poor, weak and almost friendless. He has almost nothing to offer Yang Lan.
And while these two bicker over nothing but fruit (which, please, we all know they're really flirting now) poor Feng Ling. She has such a crush on Rocky and she has nothing to offer him. She can just watch Yang Lan and Rocky flirt over fruit.
Call Me By Fire S2 has taken an incredibly cinematic approach this season and I’m not sure if I should be impressed or if I should lament how they’re kind of erasing what it means to perform on a stage?
It feels like these performances are designed for a TV audience rather than a live audience because so much of the aesthetics are reliant on close-up camera shots (and sometimes even slow-mo).
Just haven’t really been wow’d by any of this year’s performances yet, even though I love a lot of this year’s cast. Last year, the performances were designed to show off everyone’s stage presence with large, flashy dance numbers, or at least kinetic movement and travel on stage.
One example of wasted talent this year was how Raymond Lam and Vanness Wu, two artists who have extensive experience dancing and performing in sold-out arenas, performed a very high-energy song but stood in place the entire time and were only allowed to move their upper body.
Also, Chilam renewing his vows with Anita on stage seemed like an unfair advantage to sway the audience emotionally.
I think the program knows that it’s getting harder to surprise and impress the audience because we’ve already seen a lot last season: bonding between members, nostalgia, wives coming to support their husbands, and so it’s hard to top last season.

Yang Lan is the kind of teacher I'd be terrified to have: no warning just pushing you into the unknown. Rocky doesn't complain, but I think it's because he's also terrified of her.
One thing I enjoy about this drama is that it allows for those long contact moments. It doesn't cut away too quickly. The stares between Rocky and Yang Lan (and there are several) are treasured until Yang Lan snaps out of it.
Rules: shuffle your 'on repeat' playlist and post the first ten tracks, then tag ten people.
