hi everyone!
i’m rather shocked that the number of followers of this blog increased over the week. it makes me happy that you love meteor garden 2018 and dyshen as much as i do. it’s been a busy week for me personally, but i have a bit of free time in the next three days. so, i promise to post more gifsets. i’m still new to this, so i apologize if my sets are not as great compared to others. still, i enjoy doing them for some of my favorite scenes or moments hehe. other than that, i might also do a mini-review of the weekly batch of episodes starting from e21-26 (not recaps though, because they are quite difficult to keep up haha).
anyway, i will be back soon for more contents ;)

meteor garden 2018: okay, so let’s dissect that “my life is you” part in episode 19 because it was just so good
original post (x)
i love how they were quietly looking out the city at first, because for the first time, it sets the mood for a serious talk between the two of them. finally, they're not bickering or being too dramatic. they're having a conversation.
so, when ahsi started opening up about how he doesn't feel close to his mom, it doesn't seem out of place and sudden. it really feels like he trusts and love her enough to tell her about these things.
for her part, i like that shancai is listening closely to him even if she's not quite sure why he's telling her these things. it's one of those rare moments that she gets to see his serious side (and maybe his weakness as well), which is actually what attracts her to him. you see, we tend to appreciate a person more when they show us their vulnerable side.
then when she asked him why he's telling her these things, i loved how there was a moment of silence first. then he took her hand & just looked at her sincerely & softly & told her "my life is you." those words will definitely land right on.
it was so matter-of-fact, not even as intensely as he usually says things, but it came across. being that she's still unsure of how she feels, i loved how shancai just gently moved away first and let it linger.
instead, she talked about the stars. about how it brings back her precious memories with her dad. ahsi shared something about himself. shancai did too in this instant. it's so beautiful.
i really appreciate these elements that they add to this romantic journey. i loved the quiet gazes, and how he's just so sincerely in love with her. i love that they talk about their feelings.
i love that shancai gets to really say what she feels. she's not sure yet about her feelings. these are new things to her, and she’s in the process of taking things in. he has to accept that. for now, that's all he's going to get.
but, it's great that she can also express whatever that unsure feeling is towards him. the cookies, the kiss, the hug—these are all part of the 'courting' stage, if you ask me. so i won't hold it against her if she accepts his kiss. there’s definitely a part of her that’s attracted to him, otherwise she wouldn’t let him kiss her. she’s just not quite sure how much, and if it’s actually love.
i'm glad that they get to experience the intensity of young love and the kind of confusion that it brings. it's a story i've watched numerous times, but i love the new things that this version brings it, especially to this romance.
i love how this thing is slowly unfolding. i love these two so much.
