Let's get married. Here? Now? I told you. It's a beautiful, sunny day. Formal proposal. Check if the gods are on our side. Send your betrothal gifts. I didn't do any of them. Skip Them. I was always the one to not obey to dogmatic rules. I didn't think you'd be even crazier than me. Then it's a yes? Let me think about it. What am I saying? Of course. I'd love to. Look at you. You can't even perform the bowing ritual in our wedding.

THIS DRAMA HAS ME TILL THE END. Until this particular scene, I was impressed but I sitll had some reservations. Then THIS happened and I fell in love with the drama and the actors as the characters I love so much.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
Nothing like the middle of an investigation to revisit the past and open some old wounds. And now LWZ has come to understand there’s a bitter resentment towards him because of these very specific words. I don’t think it’s the result what haunts Fei Du. It’s the way it was managed and how easily his demands and opinion were dismissed. He was a powerless kid with no one to turn to, under the care of the very adult he feared the most. LWZ was ignorant of anything going on beyond close doors and he simply meant the clues were crystal clear. His mother took her own life.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
This scene is gold. The lines. The expressions. Fei Du’s face. How tired LWZ looks saying all of it, but without any hint of doubt. He had this speech memorized. I don’t care what anyone says, they did the characters justice on this scene.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
There’s been little physical distance between them over the years, because they’ve known each other for a long time. But the misunderstandings and unspoken things between them, have created a big divide. A barrier that’s gonna take a lot of effort and actual communication to bring down.

Fall In Love. 9/10
Story: 10
Acting: 10
Chemistry: 10
Comparable to: Maids Revenge (cdrama) ; Cruel Romance (cdrama)
One of my favorite historical cdrama’s. It takes place in the 1920s (republican era) which is an unique era of a cdrama you don’t see many of. The storyline is executed excellently with just enough mystery, action, melodrama, and romance. The chemistry between the two main leads are brilliantly casted and oofing are they oozing with smexyness together. It does take a few episodes for the momentum to get into, but it’s overall an outstanding drama where you won’t want to stop watching. Warning there also is sensitive subjects of attempted rape and suicide.

Team HII 5th Anniversary: 张昕 Zhang Xin's Letters to 林舒晴 Lin Shuqing 王奕 Wang Yi and 袁一琦 Yuan Yiqi
TO LSQ
TO: The world’s most adorable Xiao Qing
You are the junior who has joined TEAM HII most recently. Even though I only met you at the beginning of this year, I can see through your performances and outside of them that you really love SNH48. After you made a mistake dancing Qingchun Shandian, you practiced over and over until you became the first member to perform for every unit in Orange Miracle. Everybody can see how much you have improved and you will definitely be popular. Love you~
FROM: Xin
TO WY
Yiyi meimei:
When you first came to TEAM HII, you were shy and didn’t dare to say much during MCs but you now have more and more of your own style. Your stage presence has also improved which I’m glad to see. Even though you are a 01-liner, you’re still a big kid. Why are you able to grow taller than me who is a 95-liner? I hope that you will be able to achieve good results with TEAM HII in the future!
A-xin
TO YYQ
TO: Qiqi didi
I often write your “qi” incorrectly but I finally got it right this time. After hearing your birthday wishes for me, sigh now I think of you when I went out for dinner. Even though you really are a little brother [T/N1], I can still see the more vulnerable side of you sometimes. I feel that the two of us are similar in this sense. In the future, let’s both be a little stronger together. If you have time, come to 342 [T/N2] to play, let’s cook instant noodles. There’s a lot I want to say but there isn’t enough space here so I’ll tell you more later. 
T/N1: As opposed to being more feminine and having all the stereotypically associated traits, eg. being emotional.
T/N2: The dorm room

poems in episode one of the story of kunning palace
Tumblr media
in episode 1 of kunning palace, xuening grabs a book of poems in order to trick her maids into thinking she keeps a ledger. my knowledge of classical chinese isn't particularly high level, but it's good enough to at least identify which poems are on the page that she opens to, and i'm certain they were deliberately chosen because of their relevance to the characters and themes of the show 👀 so i thought i'd do a post about them :)
this page contains three poems by the tang dynasty poet wang changling (698–756): 芙蓉樓送辛漸 (farewell to xin jian at lotus tower); 閨怨 (boudoir lament); and 春宮曲 (spring palace song). detailed analyses under the cut:
1 - 芙蓉樓送辛漸 (farewell to xin jian at lotus tower):
my translation
poem summary: the poet's friend came to wu on a night when cold rain was pouring into the river, and departs again at dawn. the poet accompanies him on his journey as far as the chu mountains [but cannot carry on journeying with him because he must stay at his official post in wu]. as he bids goodbye, he asks his friend to tell his family back in luoyang that his heart is still pure and resolute.
key themes: loneliness and solitude; duty; having a pure heart and noble character
analysis: this one is a fairly famous poem about parting before setting off on a long journey. it's particularly notable for its final line, 一片冰心在玉壺, which roughly translates to "my heart is as pure as a piece of ice within a vessel of jade"... which could easily have been written as a summary of zhang zhe's character.
however! while there's a definite emphasis on having a pure and guiltless heart, when you combine with the previous line, the couplet as a whole also gives a sense that the speaker wishes to be remembered by those they love as someone pure and righteous ("tell my family back in luoyang that my heart is still pure etc"). this seems to be a theme of xuening's second life: wanting to correct her past wrongs and treat the people she cares for better, and to prove to zhang zhe that she can be a good person in future
in particular, this poem makes me think of xuening's last moments in her first life. the poet's final request before he bids farewell to his friend? for his companion to tell his family that he is still noble at heart. xuening's final request before she dies? for xie wei to take her life in exchange for that of zhang zhe, as her way of repenting for being dishonourable and ruining his life... 🤔🤔🤔
2 - 閨怨 (boudoir lament):
poem summary: the young wife in her boudoir knows nothing of sorrow, but as she completes her toilette and ascends the emerald tower, she suddenly sees the hue of poplars and willows on the roadside and regrets letting her husband leave home to pursue official position and power.
key themes: love and marriage; abandonment; ambition (and the effect that ambition has on love)
analysis: it's essentially about how the husband's ambition causes him to abandon his wife to grief and loneliness, which seems like a clear parallel with xuening's willingness to abandon her faithful lovers for the sake of her ambition; there's also the implication that political status is ultimately less meaningful than a loving marriage.
i think it's worth noting that the character 怨 (yuan) in the title is fairly hard to translate, as it implies a mixture of grief and anger/resentment, or even hatred. it's fairly common in boudoir poems about women left behind by their husbands, and in that context it's often translated as 'lament' or 'grief', but i think the ambivalence of the term is fairly important, particularly if you apply it to kunning palace and the mix of grief and anger that xuening inspires in her old lovers in her first life.
3 - 春宮曲 (spring palace song):
poem summary: the wind is mild, the flowers are in full bloom, the moon is full and bright. the emperor has fallen in love with one of his sister's singing serving women, and is showering her with imperial favour and bestowing brocade robes upon her to keep out the spring chill.
key themes: happiness, success, security. (however, with contextual knowledge, there's also the implication of future doom, and that nobody can stay on top of the world forever)
analysis: i didn't quite catch the full significance of this one until i googled it and realised it's a poem about a real historical figure: wei zifu, a song-and-dance girl serving the princess pingyang, who wins the favour of pingyang’s brother, emperor wu of the han dynasty, eventually becoming his second empress (the second-longest serving empress in chinese history!).
wei zifu's story is essentially about a young woman of humble origins who survives numerous palace intrigues and eventually manages to ascend to the position of empress, trusted by the emperor to the extent that she was allowed to rule in his absence. however, after maintaining her position for over three decades, she eventually fell afoul of a conspiracy against her and her son, and committed suicide rather than allowing herself to be deposed.
i mean… the way this links to jiang xuening's first life is so obvious i don't even feel the need to explain it.

Background of Zhang Qiling’s Sword
Tumblr media
I. Introduction
The sword Zhang Qiling uses throughout the series is known as the Black Gold Ancient Sword (黑金古刀/Heijin Gudao).
This post includes lore from both the tv adaptations and the books. There are only a few differences between the two, but since Volume 8 hasn’t been adapted, the sword’s origins are only mentioned in the book.
PLEASE let me know if there are any inaccuracies. Full history and sources are on the wiki pages.
TV Series Sword Wiki Page; Book Sword Wiki Page; Gallery Images of the Sword
II. Origin and Its Prototype
Tumblr media
A. Prototype
Zhang Qiling's sword is supposedly based on a real sword, known as the Tucheng Heijin (屠城黑金). The Tucheng Heijin was lost but replicas exist based on old descriptions. It is from the Yuan dynasty (1279-1368 AD) and was used by a general to capture a city on the European border.
One of the replicas is shown in the picture above. Many depictions replicate this sword including Ultimate Note and Tomb of the Sea.
B. Novel Origins
In the novel, the sword was used by Zhang Ruitong, a former patriarch of the Zhang family. When he died, he was buried with it in the Zhang Family tomb.
It remained in the Zhang Family tomb for centuries until Wu Sanxing had Hei Yanjing retrieve it to test Zhang Qiling. Zhang Qiling had suffered from amnesia but was working for Chen Pi Ah Si, so Wu Sanxing thought he was suspicious.
Wu Sanxing lured Zhang Qiling to the sword by exchanging it for his help to rob the Seven Star Lu Palace.
III. Zhang Qiling Loses the Sword
Zhang Qiling continues to use the sword in the series until he loses it in Tamutuo while fighting with a snake.
A. The Temporary Replacement in Ultimate Note
Tumblr media
In the show, Wu Xie is the one who wants to get Zhang Qiling a replacement sword. Wu Xie asks Xie Yuchen to purchase one as equipment for their exploration to the Zhang Family tomb.
Wu Xie carves "小黑金" (little black gold) into the sword in reference to the previous black gold ancient sword (黑金古刀). Zhang Qiling takes it with him to the Zhang Family Tomb.
B. The Temporary Replacement in the Novels
In the novels, Zhang Qiling is given a replacement ancient sword by Huo Xiangu and Xie Yuchen. Wu Xie was not involved with it and never carves anything on it. Zhang Qiling takes it with him to the Zhang Family Tomb.
C. The Replacement Isn't Mentioned Again
In the novels, Zhang Qiling loses the replacement sword in the Zhang Family tomb. The sword was found by a member of Qiu Dekao's team, who brought it out.
It is not mentioned whether Zhang Qiling ever gets back the sword, but the replacement sword is never mentioned again in the novels as far as I know.
IV. Hei Yanjing Retrieves the Original Sword
Tumblr media
In both the novels and the show, Li Cu read snake pheromones that contained a message from Wu Sanxing. The original black-gold sword is seen with Hei Yanjing in the show while there is some dialogue about it in the novel.
In the novel snake pheromone flashback, Wu Sanxing told Hei Yanjing that he and the sword were bound by fate since he brought it out, put it into the hands of a powerful person, and was able to find it again. Hei Yanjing responded that he planned to give it back.
The author of the novels has confirmed that the dialogue was about Hei Yanjing retrieving the original sword.
In the show, Hei Yanjing uses that sword throughout the series. Thus, I assume the sword seen in the Xin Yue Restaurant was just a replica.
V. Recent Fate
Tumblr media
A. The Novels
The sword is not mentioned in Restart, Looking for the Dead in the Sea of Lights, or Ten Thousand Mountains in the Extreme Night.
I have no idea why. Zhang Qiling didn't even bring a knife with him in Looking for the Dead in the Sea of Lights.
B. Reunion
It's not clear whether the sword Zhang Qiling carries around in the show is the original black gold sword. The sword is black and gold and is single-edged, so it fits the description of the original sword. It's never called anything, but the original sword is mentioned in Zhang Qiling's profile as a skill. So, I think it was at least intended to be the original sword.
The sword is also not likely to be the replacement he received after Tamutuo. The replacement sword is never mentioned again in the novels and Ultimate Note and Reunion were produced by different companies.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask!

My Journey To You - Thoughts and Impressions Part 1 of 2
Tumblr media
I realise that I've been missing these past few months, i've been on a consumption binge but with little to no bandwidth to write about any show/film irrespective of how much I may have loved them. (depression is an ass) But I can, once again, feel thoughts tingling in my brain and I've decided to get back to writing, something that I deeply enjoy. Anyway, enough about me, let's get started.
To keep the post from getting obscenely long, I'm going to split it into two. This post will be about the technical aspects of the show. Part 2 will focus on the characters.
My Journey To You is a 2023 fantasy, Wuxia show (shows/films that are based in ancient China with martial arts warriors being capable of superhuman feats, like Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon). It was highly anticipated owing to the amazing trailer (one of the best I've seen)
youtube
Plot: The series tells the story of Yun Wei Shan, a spy longing for freedom, who infiltrates the Gong residence to complete a mission. In the eerie and treacherous Gong residence, she encounters love and friendship, embarks on a journey of self-discovery, and finds the determination to move forward. Together with the rebellious nobleman Gong Zi Yu, they grow and mature through their shared experiences. (via mydramalist)
It stars: Yu Shu Xin (Yun Wei Shan), Zhang Ling He(Gong Zi Yu), Ryan Cheng (Gong Shang Jue) and Lu Yu Xiao (Shangguan Qian), Tian Jia Rui (Gong Yuan Zhi), Jolin Jin (Gong Zi Shang) and Sun Chen Jun (Jin Fan)
Written by: Edward Guo.
Series directed by: Edward Guo & Luo Luo
Tumblr media
I'll talk about everything I liked before I get into the stuff that I didn't.
Right off the bat, this show has some of the most gorgeous characters you'll come across and this applies to both the men and the women. The costume and make-up departments do an amazing job making already attractive people look ridiculously attractive. They also help the actors really inhabit the world seamlessly. The costumes are especially incredibly detailed and intricate, you can see the care that went into crafting the look for each of these characters. Shout-out to Huang Wei (costume designer) and Shi Hui (Make-up)
One of the best aspects of the show is the cinematography by Wei Hong. This show is aesthetically beautiful, so many absolutely stunning shots. Chinese shows (and Korean shows) love slow-motion shots, and while at times, it can be a bit much, this show makes great use of them, especially during the fight scenes.
Tumblr media
The cinematography is helped to a great extent by the excellent production design, courtesy Jiyao Zhang. Like the costumes, the production design too is detailed and intricate. The world feels fully realised and yet also lived in. Each of the different clan mansions, the Front Hill and Back Hill are so incredibly different and distinct that you can immediately tell where you are. An insane amount of hard work went into the show and it shows in every frame.
You can tell that they had a good budget to work with and every bit of it was spent on making the show look as stylized as possible, there is not an ounce of realism to be found here, cue slow-motion beautiful hair flying shots. (Every day I bemoan my inability to make gifs) But the screencaps below illustrate the beauty of the show, it's so gorgeous that you could literally use screencaps as wallpapers.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The fight scenes in the show are some of the best I've seen. They are intense and thrilling and always coherent, you can always tell who's fighting who. The fight scenes are also so aesthetically pleasing, like an exceptionally deadly dance.
Tumblr media
Now, we come to the not-so-great stuff.
First off, the marketing. The show was marketed and advertised as an action fantasy show and while there is action and it is excellent, it's not an "action" show. The main focus of the show is on the characters and the internal power struggle of the Gong family. There are also whole scenes, sometimes making up the bulk of an entire episode which are just conversations. I've seen a lot of viewers disappointed and it makes sense. they thought they were coming for action and instead they got verbose conversations.
The pacing also comes to a near-halt in some of these scenes and instead we're treated to lengthy expositions which isn't necessarily a bad thing but it becomes tedious when it happens repetitively.
Now, let's come to the worst thing about the show, it's ending, specifically the last 5 minutes. This end is ridiculously mindbogglingly bad when you consider that there is almost no confirmation on a 2nd season. It's just such a bad idea to end on a cliffhanger like this. If they wanted to leave things open for a potential 2nd season, they could have ended with the Wufeng elders coming together at that character's home, possibly to hold them ransom or something, like literally anything else.
if you're planning on watching this show and I do recommend it, keep in mind that it does get slow and don't watch the last 5 mins of the show. Trust me, you'll like the show a whole lot more if you follow that approach.

You know what? I like this. I like the fact that they made FeiDu a lot more emotional and visibly hurting than in the novel. I’m sure it was a decision made by Xincheng as well and I think it adds to the complexity of the character and doesn’t take away from him.
Tumblr media Tumblr media
In the novel, it it weren’t because of the descriptions and how well Luo Wenzhou knew him, you could barely tell his unfeeling demeanor and often cool exterior meant anything other than aloofness. The more he felt, the less he was able to express and react. He definitely wasn’t a crier. But here, this is a nice touch. And I think I know why they did it. They want the audience to know he feels, and very deeply, and it’s not enough to just say it, you have to show it. That he’s been hurting all this time and talking about his mother and her death bring him to tears.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
hahahahahaha behave like a child, get treated like one, Fei Du.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
BIG step forward in their relationship, I’d say. Just hug already, please.

Double Love. 6
Story: 6
Acting: 10
Chemistry: 10
Comparable to: Love 020 (cdrama) ; Go Go Squid! (cdrama); You Are My Glory (cdrama)
Another drama that starts off nicely and goes downhill midway and never recovers. It’s your basic predictable romcom with the added on cheesy cliches. It actually works pretty well in the first half, the acting is good and main leads have excellent chemistry together. The drama suffers from choppy editing and terrible writing in the later half. It seemed like sometimes the writers wanted to drag on scenarios over and over again or then completely left out storylines they were building up since the beginning (*cough* the whole brother situation) Nonetheless it’s still a watchable drama. I will add in the characters played by Zhang Xue Ying and Dylan Kuo are one of my favorite brother and sisterly duo performances.
