"The Magician" in Qingdao

Can't remember who said it, magic is actually an illusion, just there to confuse the audience. If it's really revealed then it doesn't have meaning anymore. Now, which is getting everyone's attention, putting magic on the small screen is idol series "The Magicians." It is currently shooting vigorously. With stars like Lin Hsinju, Alec Su, & Kangta it's hard not to attract people to it, much less Lin Hsinju & Alec Su's relationship is always like magic, hard for people to guess. Yesterday reporter learned that the shooting has moved on to Qingdao from Beijing, and unexpectedly rumors about Alec Su & Lin Hsinju in love are spreading! Are they, after knowing each other all these years, sparks are flying now? Reporter hastily went for an interview.

From an insider friend, reporter found that these rumors are by no means groundless accusations, the way how both of them act caused suspicions. It was reported, Alec Su and Lin Hsinju are often seen laughing & talking on the set. Sometimes don't know what Alec Su said that made Hsinju to forget about dignity & started laughing, then pouting & chasing after to hit him. This time filming Hsinju only brought one assisant & a driver w/ her [note: since when does she bring a driver w/ her? Odd.]. Sometimes they have their hands full, so Alec Su would lend his own personal assistant to her. Even after work, both of them eat together. Kangta is sadder, always quietly eating at another table w/ his Korean assistant [Yeah right. He's got the Korean crew & his entourage to keep him company. So he's in good hands.]. What caused people to suspect the most is Mama Su, who has been taking care of Alec Su throughout the filming on the set, also is taking care of Hsinju. The elder loves to make soups. Each day she'd bring soup, dim sum/dessert, and fruits to the set. And all the stuff is one portion for her son, one portion for Hsinju. After watching them finish eating, she would be very happy. And what's more, Hsinju & Youpeng's cellphone cases are the same. Both of them are also always go out alone, always together. If this is not being in love, how can they be this good?

Actually, the names Alec Su and Lin Hsinju have been linked together for a long time already. Since after they shot HZGG & QSSYMM, their rumors were non-stop. It was just that both sides denied it. In addition, it has been a while since they work together & things died down. This time in "The Magician" they play a couple. Moreover, it's Youpeng snatching Hsinju from Kangta, are they for real? Reporter afterwards got in touch w/ Alec Su and Lin Hsinju, both sides laughed at the rumors, & expressed that they are not afraid of rumors.
