This is my favourite part of the video, by the way...Now let's start translations...
Commentator: August SPOP cover page figures, When I See You Again male and female leading stars, Jasper Liu and Mandy Wei have finally, in the drama, intimately come closer a step for a kiss. (Their) body movements are increasingly getting into a common rhythm. For the SPOP shoot that is full of tricks, is it still possible to keep calm in the chaos?
-Cuts to Jasper looking out a night window-
He's swaying and clicking his fingers and humming an old Chinese song tune-
The camera is slowly getting close to him
Jasper, in a singsong voice [green and pink caption]: Don't go thinking that I haven't seen you...
Jasper spins around, dangles his arms.
Jasper to camera person: What are you doing, eh?
Camera person: What were you just performing?
Jasper [Gold caption]: Best of the old songs
-Cuts to Jasper lying down on a raised glass platform-
Mandy, from a distance: Good night! I'll go find you in a minute
Jasper laughs
-Cuts to Mandy coming down to Jasper's level-
She's making growling dinosaur sounds and doing dinosaur arms.
Jasper is grinning [Red caption: Really loves play-acting]
Mandy to SPOP staff: I only have to throw the top half of my body over him, ok yeah?
SPOP staff: Right, You only to with the top half of your body
Mandy is crouched right next to Jasper and starts tickling him under his chin
Mandy, making tickling sounds: Coochie Coochie Coo
Jasper turns his head, laughing.
Mandy: (We're) Extremely close ---She means in terms of the phyiscal space between them---
Mandy: ...I'm shy
SPOP staff, [Blue and red captions]: You guys are the male and female leads, eh! Give us a bit of passion!
Mandy is limply laying on Jasper and a make-up person is fixing her hair.
-Cuts to Mandy half laying on Jasper, limply, about to get into proper position-
SPOP staff: Breath a bit
Mandy is taking some obvious deep breaths
SPOP staff: Are you nervous?
Mandy then takes one deep breath and throws herself down onto Jasper's chest.
Jasper does a fake gasp and a silly face.
Mandy gets up onto her side position again.
SPOP staff: We still haven't shot (the photo)
SPOP staff: Ok ready...come now...
-Cuts to Mandy looking like she's laying on top of Jasper, doing the photoshoot-
SPOP staff: Mandy's face might need to move forward a bit
SPOP staff to Mandy: You need to collapse forward a bit more (onto Jasper)
Mandy is nervously grinning as she tries to follow instruction
Mandy [Blue, white and pink caption]: Jasper Liu, I'm sorry, I need to crush your chest
Jasper: Ok, Chest is getting crushed big-time, right?
Mandy puts her weight on him and they both pose for the cameras.
SPOP staff: Good. Very good.
Mandy gets off him as soon she it's over, starting to laugh [Red and white caption: Laughing session]
-Cuts to a different pose, Mandy sitting and Jasper sitting facing towards her from behind-
SPOP staff: Very good
Jasper starts yawning.
SPOP staff [Yellow, white and blue caption]: Jasper Ge, don't yawn
Jasper closes he mouth and smiles with his dimples.
-Cuts to the end of posing for that shoot-
Jasper moves away from Mandy and lies down.
Jasper [Purple and orange and white caption]: Doing a pose and was told off (for) yawning
SPOP staff: Ok, wait a moment...
Mandy is grinning at the camera [Pink and blue caption]: His smile has evolved into a yawn
-Cuts to Mandy standing behind Jasper sitting smugly in a chair-
Mandy: (When he has) a slight smile (it) just doesn't (suit) his character
SPOP staff: So at that time you didn't dare to speak to him?
Mandy: That's right. I just thought, "What's up with this person?!"
Jasper raises an eyebrow.
Mandy, starts to tickle the side of his face:
Coochie Coochie
Mandy gets into the pose of the shoot crouching behind Jasper and putting her arms around him.
SPOP staff: Right. Coochie Coochie.
Another SPOP staff member laughs.
-Cuts to the shoot in the same pose-
SPOP staff: Let's...Play with this one ---This pose---
Another SPOP staff: Right

SPOP staff [Blue and pink caption]: Jasper Ge, don't make your expression too sissy
Jasper starts grinning.
Mandy is imitating the coy face that Jasper was making.
SPOP staff: Too coy!
SPOP staff: It's a bit too girly...
-Cuts to a montage of Jasper and Mandy shooting-
Commentator: SPOP (shot) late into the night using the combination of a transparent house style for it's cover page photo shoot. The shooting crew trembled with fear because this transparent floor board could only hold 5 people. Surpassing that, there is the possibility of danger.
-Cuts to Mandy rushing towards the camera-
Mandy: Hey, hey, hey...there's already 4 people. I want to come over (to a safer spot).
Everyone laughing
SPOP staff: (You're being) Too nervous!
Jasper sits up all hesitant. [Black caption on Jasper: Scared!]
SPOP staff, repeating Mandy's words laughingly:...There's already 4 people!
Jasper: I'll sit here in the middle first
Mandy or other SPOP staff in the background: The limit is 5 people
SPOP staff: Otherwise, why don't you first lie over here and have a look first?
Other SPOP staff: We'll go tidy the rooms first...
Commentator: Aiya! This "romance" really has a burden. But it's also not hard to see the male and female leads' intimate coordinating movements. No longer shy, they're (or their relationship) is growing up quickly. Let us reminisce when Jasper and Mandy were both doing their first costume test, that awkward screen encounter.
-Cuts to Jasper and Mandy's first shoot together-
Jasper [Blue and red caption]: My habit is that I turn into wood (He means that he's stiff and not a great poser when he takes photos with girls. For more about this,
Check out his SPOP Pleasantly Surprised BTS last year)
Jasper laughs
Jasper: I don't know what I should do
Jasper and Mandy laugh
Photographer: This one (this photograph), you're being too careful and timid
Photographer: Make it a bit sweeter (between you two)
Photographer: Make it a bit sweeter, ok?
Mandy: On one side, it's like this
Mandy pretends to put a leg up on Jasper
Jasper laughs and slaps his thigh
Photographer [White, pink and blue caption]: Make it a bit sweeter!
Jasper moves awkwardly closer and has his hand half-heartedly on Mandy's back.
Photographer: Make it a bit sweeter!
Mandy turns towards Jasper and raises her arms to put around his neck. He extends his arms too,
[Black captions around Jasper and Mandy: Nervous, nervous]
Mandy has her arms loosely around Jasper's shoulders and Jasper has one arm around her waist.
-Cuts to a break from shooting that first lot of photos-
SPOP staff [White caption]: Why is it still the same (level of) stiffness?
Jasper to the SPOP staff member jokingly: Why have you appeared again?! Very annoying!
Mandy is laughing
SPOP staff: Why haven't you improved?
Jasper: (You're) So bad!
Jasper comes over to put a hand over the camera
SPOP staff, joking: Throwing a tantrum!
Jasper: So I need to become like the role I have inside the drama, do I? ---meaning that he has to act cold and grumpy like the initial Xia You Qian---
Jasper marches back and puts one arm awkwardly around Mandy and grabs her other hand,
----Here I cringe because it's a pretty awkward pose! Hahahaha----
SPOP staff, jokingly consoling him [Yellow, white and red captions]: You've improved, you've improved
Mandy puts her hand over her mouth to stop herself from laughing at the banter
SPOP staff, referring to Jasper:
We've taught Junior
Jasper, using their words against them: Throwing a tantrum!
Mandy [Blue, white and pink caption]: Taking photos with this "little brother", I'm very shy
----Haha, some explaining for this comment: Jasper is not her little brother, obviously. That would be gross. But that's what you teasingly call a guy who's younger than you and Mandy is a few years older than Jasper. Also those characters for little brother are not the proper characters, but they're a playful homophone...the sounds are being used to emphasize the adorableness of the "little brother"---
Photographer laughs
Commentator: The Jasper Ge and Mandy of 4 months ago (are gone). They have honestly gotten over their shyness. Let's have a look again at them now...Wow! Bodily touching is as natural as breathing!
-Cuts to a photo pose with Mandy putting a finger under Jasper's chin-
Jasper just takes Mandy's hand and places it jokingly on his chest and pretends to stroke it, much to the surprise of an unprepared Mandy.
[Red caption: Stroke, stroke]
Jasper can't contain himself and starts laughing. Mandy laughs too.
SPOP staff, laughing: You keep making your own expressions...what does this mean?
Jasper [Red caption]: It's me "enjoying"
Mandy to the camera: I'm really (feeling) awkward. I don't know whether I want to "enjoy" or laugh.
Jasper, being mockingly sad [Red caption]: You don't need to "enjoy"...
SPOP staff member laughs: You don't need to enjoy...you don't need to enjoy...
Mandy hears what's being said and laughs, causing her hat to fall off.
-Cuts to Jasper and Mandy actually shooting those photos-
Jasper is serious for a bit and then puts his hand over his chest, as if touching himself.
[Pink caption: Self-touching]

Mandy laughs.

Jasper and her loop her arms awkwardly back-to-back, much to the laughter of the SPOP crew.
SPOP staff: Right, right, right....(That's) How exactly you do a back-to-back embrace.
Mandy and Jasper then do several photos rocking back and forth in their awkward back hug pose.
SPOP staff: Very good!
Jasper, laughing from the rocking: What kind of concept is this?...Just what kind of concept is this?
-Cuts to Mandy knocking on the wall-
SPOP staff: Pinning-against-the-wall move? ---This move refers when a guy (generally) corners a girl by leaning over her against a wall---
Mandy: We are...doing the pinning-against-the-wall move?
SPOP staff to Mandy: You should do the pinning-against-the-wall move to him
SPOP staff to Mandy: The girl pinning the boy against the wall.

Mandy: He's use to having the pinning-against-the-wall move pulled on him!
SPOP staff: He's too use to it!
Mandy: He already first prepares...
Jasper makes a pose against the wall
Mandy pokes him, saying: He already first prepares his own expressions
SPOP staff: My god!
Another SPOP staff member: He really enjoys it!
Mandy, making a suggestion: The Cover-your-mouth move
SPOP staff laughs: Very anime-like
Jasper chips in: Don't say any anything
SPOP staff: Nonsense not allowed
Mandy puts a finger seductively on Jasper's lips.
SPOP staff: Ssshhhhh...
Jasper shudders and turns away, laughing.
Mandy slaps his shoulder and points, laughing at him
SPOP staff: Very uncomfortable (for him)!
-Cuts to Jasper laughing and Mandy rolling her eyes-
Commentator: The mutual playfulness of these two is not a problem...But SPOP, this time, has added two big doggies to do a photo shoot together. Wow! This cover page jumps off, after the romance between the male-female leads, turning extremely cool.
-Cuts to Mandy dancing with the giant dog to some cool music-
Mandy is laughing
SPOP staff: You're very tired/tiring!

[Blue thinking bubble caption from the grey dog: Digging out from the bottom]
[Blue thinking bubble caption from the brown dog: Very crowded!]
They all pose for a couple of photos.
[Green bubble captions: Ill at ease/Embarrassed!]
SPOP staff: The male-female leads in the middle should have a bit of emotional affection, that would be better
SPOP staff: You should have a bit of...Chemistry! ---Hahaha, I like how she said the word Chemistry in English---
Mandy, intimates Jasper's cross-armed pose: I want to say, him acting like this is...(not adding to the chemistry...)
-Cuts to Mandy and Jasper doing a spy pose with the doggies-
SPOP staff: I think Mandy you should play with the dog behind you. Play with it's hand

Jasper and Mandy are laughing.

SPOP staff: Good...what else is there?
Photographer on the pose: Good. Wait a moment.
On a pause, the poor person in the doggie suit lifts up their head mask and gives a give sigh.
SPOP staff: Very good!
SPOP staff: Mandy. look at the camera lens...
Mandy does a pout with her doggie friend
SPOP staff: Right, right right! This is just the feeling (we were going for)!
SPOP staff: Jasper Ge, hurry up and follow her lead (her steps)
Jasper turns behind to see what Mandy is doing...and then tries to sort himself out. He casually puts an arm over his dog.
SPOP staff laugh: He's taken a moment to look
SPOP staff: Ok. Good, good, good...

SPOP staff: Are you ready? Good
Jasper lifts up the dog's ear [brown poo caption]: Scooping out earwax
