what's with the 爱 in traditional and 恋 in simplified in this clip?

恋 was a simplified Chinese long before the mainland Chinese government made the official Chinese simplification. Many people who write traditional Chinese also use certain words in their traditional simplified forms. These kinds of mixed usage are very common outside of mainland China and in late Qing or early Republic days. Even the most traditional Chinese could get tired of writing all those strokes in the formal traditional Chinese.
