you’ll notice that Luan Nian is almost never physically above Shang Zhitao when they kiss. He doesn’t tower over her or pin her against a wall. He’ll actually crouch down to kiss her, so their kisses are usually at eye level or from an equal/slightly lower position.
and this was a deliberate choice by the intimacy coordinator and director. There was already a power imbalance between them because he was her boss, so they didn’t want to reinforce that physically by constantly putting him above her or in a position where he could restrain her. They wanted their physical dynamic to feel more equal once they were together.
I’m seriously so impressed by how much thought went into directing their intimacy. Even something as small as the angle and height of a kiss was considered in relation to their characters and their relationship
