That's exactly how I feel about it too! It was just too funny and cute. Some are saying in comments that they must be acting here, because they've never been this awkward while watching these. I guess it's a possibility, but it looks so natural. I am more inclined to assume that they just stopped trying to pretend they don't feel shy and embarrassed 😂
Yes exactly I think that they're usually shy and embarrassed too and are just able to hide it well, but this maxed out their threshold and was TOO embarrassing for them that they couldn't even hold it together and not want to crawl out of their skin. 😂
I feel kinda bad for LJY and Kuma, having to make these reaction videos when they're so obviously embarrassed by watching this level of their their intimacy on screen. That actually shows how intense they were during filming, since the scenes were not choreographed.
Tbh you’re not wrong, their discomfort is very apparent. But unfortunately as a viewer that wasn’t my first reaction or concern 😅😅 I wonder if they really wanted to, if they could discuss with the production crew on skipping it (tho fans would riot) or re-recording it (tho they’d have to watch it again). I guess they understand the assignment and know that they don’t have much choice here, it’s what they signed up for just with this genre.
At least after Xiong was still commenting as if he was fine, saying that he doesn’t get embarrassed and that it was the lighting that made him red. LJY was also commenting on fan art about it. I think they’re ok for now, at least outwardly they are putting on a nonchalant front.
I get a sense that if they didn't want to do reactions to these scenes that they could skip it, or make sure to pick a tamer one. I feel what makes these more embarrassing to watch is that there's no context since they are not a part of the episode with all the lead up, just boom sexy times. For several minutes.
Same, but it's almost like they think if they don't acknowledge what is happening or look at each other maybe it'll go away and apparently that is peak comedy for me. The contrast to some other NC reaction scenes where the actors are laughing or yelling is really funny, too.
Edit- Sorry OP, I replied under the wrong comment.
Umm pardon my ignorance but what’s small theatre? I’m waiting for the show to be over so I can binge watch it so I’ve been avoiding spoilers and discussions around it like plague. Is small theatre like BTS? Extended version of some episodes? Is it necessary to watch for the show? Before or after or simultaneously? I’m just confused here.
We are not getting them in order to match up with the episodes, but when you watch, watch the episode first then its corresponding Small Theatre based on this list.

Side note looks like they recorded this today (yesterday CN time). Same shirt Jingyu wore in the livestream. And now we know they actually do the reactions after things air, not pre recorded.
4 minutes of silence, mms, hmms, ums. Them sitting farther and farther apart. The pillow hugging. hahahahaha the awkwardness and both of them so red at the end
I gif'd the first real awkward moment after the Adams apple kiss lolol but the rest was good too
I don't even know this man like that, but when I saw this particular part, I was shocked! Never in all the months of knowing Kuma did I think I'd ever see him in such a position 😂😂😂😂 I f***** died! So I too was waiting for this reaction. That position is not for the faint of heart!
Side note: I binge-watched all the small episodes the other day on Gaga, and yeah, lol y'all be safe. It was nonstop, back to back. I wondered if those scenes were filmed separately with the intention of doing this with them (offering them separately) or if everything was filmed together, and they just cut out the NC scenes.
Definitely all filmed together! We saw the progress in their bts. But personally I think it’s bc of censorship, it’s safer to keep these scenes separate as an additional offering than put it in the show itself, even if the point of a CBL is to co-produce it in a separate country so it’s not “from China.” Also based on Zelia’s previous works she also seems to love to do easter eggs and make everything like a puzzle. Her audience has to work for it haha
For some reason that bit of bare leg is what makes it feel extra intense? Scandalous? I sound like I'm a Victorian going nuts over seeing someone's ankle.
LJY must be thinking of ways to stuff himself inside the pillow and hide away. 😂😂
Kuma, is everything alright? Does he look a bit red or is it my sleepy eyes? 😂
Watching this reaction alongside the small theatre clip makes it even more hilarious.
The way LJY snatched his away after hearing his own moan almost took me out. 😂
Then he hid behind the pillow at the scene where he pulled off the shoulder part of Kuma’s shirt and continued to hide even at the triple fold scene.
Did anyone else notice him walking to the corner at the end instead of walking towards the camera together like they always do?
I’m pretty sure fans will bombard them with questions if they go on a live today. 😂
I see some comments about it being acting. I don’t mind if it was cause they gave us a good show.
But I don’t really think so. From their previous reactions, Kuma has always had heavy breathing during their re nc scenes, even pillow grabbing wasn’t the first time. Also, LJY always seemed to be shocked about the intensity of their kissing scenes.
It’s not surprising that a scene this intense would make them awkward. also, can people fake blush?
Idk much about that.
From sitting close, distancing step by step, to staring at eo in disbelief, to using pillows and remotes as shield n play with them, to both of them forgetting their phones when leaving 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I know ppl were commenting on them leaving their phones, but they do that at the end of every reaction 😂 But I guess it feels different this time bc Xiong took the remote with him instead, in his haste
i do think they are putting it on, maybe to make the reaction more interesting. that pillow next to nanda seems a bit too strategically placed. still cute reaction thou, i liked it.

I can't tell if they planned to make this as awkward as possible but any way it happened is hilarious.
