[ID: A set of five gifs of Tian from A Tale of Thousand Stars. They all show him from the shoulders up.

In the first gif, he is lying with his head on a pillow. Someone out of frame pats his cheek and then his chin, and Tian nods.

In the second gif, he is standing in a doorway at night. He is looking at someone out of frame, seeming annoyed, and takes a deep breath.

In the third gif, he is sitting and looking behind him. He turns his head so he's facing forward, and his eyes dart to the left and then right as he thinks.

In the fourth gif, he is sitting down at night and smirking at someone off camera. He looks down, and then back up, still smirking.

In the fifth gif, he is standing outside with a towel thrown over his shoulder. He turns to look at someone out of frame.

[ID: a gifset showing a scene between Juhi Chawla (playing Anamika Kapoor) and Sanjay Suri (playing Nikhil Kapoor) in the film My Brother... Nikhil.

Nikhil and Anamika are sitting on her bed. The sheets are covering Anamika's legs and she is leaning against one arm with the other propped up on her knee while she leans her chin against her palm. Nikhil is sitting by her knees, holding his hands together in his lap. He stares at the mattress, then slowly lowers himself and pulls his legs up so that he is lying curled on the mattress with his head in her lap.

Anamika puts her hand on his back and leans over, asking "Nikhil what is the matter?"

Nikhil clutches the bedsheets and replies "I love you a lot, princess."

Anamika moves her hand up so that she is stroking his hair and says "Love you, too, bhai." She moves her hand back down to his back and holds his head with the other hand, then leans over to kiss the side of his head.

Anamika rubs Nikhil's head and tells him "Everything will be okay."

Nikhil reaches up and takes Anamika's hand. She leans over and asks "Are you okay?"

Nikhil shifts his arms and turns his head to the side so he can kiss Anamika's knee.

“Of all my films, this film features the most natural environment. And although this device is gone from the film now, until the very last stage of editing, we actually divided the story into two chapters. Chapter One was titled ‘Mountain’ and Chapter Two was titled ‘The Ocean’—that’s how important these two environments are, the mountain and the ocean. The stories are quite segregated depending on which environments they happen in, and the personalities are starkly different as well. In the film, the two characters quote a line from Confucius, where they say that kind people like the mountains and wise people like the ocean, and they bond over their affinity for the ocean and their dislike for the mountain.” — Park Chan-wook for Deadline.

Shen Wei version

For the @guardianbingo prompt “hope”!

[ID: 4 gifs featuring Zhao Yunlan and Shen Wei from the C-drama Guardian. 1: In the background, Zhao Yunlan hands Shen Wei his business card, as in the foreground in a diamond shape Zhao Yunlan looks shocked as he recognizes Shen Wei in the past. The text follows the diamond shape, reading “You ever been in love?” 2: In the background, Shen Wei and Zhao Yunlan stand on a hilltop, Shen Wei has Zhao Yunlan’s jacket draped over his shoulders, clutching it, as they turn to look at each other. In the foreground, in a heart shape, Zhao Yunlan as Kunlun looks up with a tender expression, his surprised face softening with understanding and realization during the scene where Shen Wei echoes how he will definitely repay him the life that he owes him. The text reads, “Once.” 3: two desaturated scenes, kept apart with a piece of ripped paper; the upper scene shows a bloody Shen Wei gasping for breath as a stake impales his heart, the lower scene shows a heavily injured Zhao Yunlan looking devastated as he slowly reaches out and picks up the pendant. The text on the ripped paper reads, “how’d it end?” 4: Much more saturated than the previous gif, here Zhao Yunlan is staring at Shen Wei, teary-eyed, as he accepts the bet. The text reads, “It hasn’t.” with copies fading out. /END ID]
