I suppose the cut in ep17 when she danced in firelight on his boot-tips was a mistake. There's no prohibition…
Actually to me the "ambiguous" xihuan ni translates as much as I Love You or I like you, depending on context in real life or stories. Wo ai ni feels more like I adore you, I love you madly, desperately, till the end of times. 520 or 521 in text messages have somewhat debased the weight and seriousness of those three words.
Itβs his gentle and pure smile that makes him look so much younger than his age. Charming dimple tooπ
Well, for many Jerry Yan was the ultimate and unchanging Daoming Si ? There are hints to MG in this drama and the director cum scriptwriter did make apparent her worship of Yan Chengxu in that role. So the throwback to the 1980-90s rock style haircut, the Woodstock style bandana, some of the dialogue (if apology was enough there'd be no need for police) all tie in with the beginning of Jerry Yan's career as actor. Age is important but love and talent transcend it. A young actor could in my opinion not have nailed that Xiao Han character. Even Wallace Chung (who also had a large age difference with co star in The Sword and The Brocade) might not have made it as skillfully as Jerry Yan. To me, as l re-watch episodes and chuckle when I discover double meanings and subtle references, in words, tunes, paint style, even nail art (so lovely to paint the Little Prince and his Only Rose on each lover's fingertips!!) and the symbolism of flowers, I am thoroughly enraptured by this one. Total 10 from me!!
thanks.Why did they delete the most romantic scenes? It does not contain excessive sexuality. just emotional..
Totally agree. Even in daily life, self-censorhip is also one way of avoiding trouble, like testing the waters more cautiously before voicing a whole line of thought or writing too candid views. Sometimes it is for self preservation (being too blunt or candid can be perceived as disrespectful to say the least, or outright stupid), sometimes it is in consideration of friends', lovers' or acquaintance's feelings for something one might not be in total agreement with. Hints may be left, and if there is common ground, and no risk for misunderstanding or strife, these will be brought to light a little like these delicious cut scenes, which contribute in the viral way. Uncovering secret thoughts this way can be like watching a flower go to full bloom and share the delight of colors, shapes and scents. Actually, isn't this drama very much about precisely such things?
Sheβs a force. That girl doesnβt play when it comes to other women going after her man. Remember how she handled…
stiletto heels and black card (even if borrowed then) yes: she can flaunt her power and wealth when she wants, even if she most of the time appears less flamboyant, in consideration of Xiao Han's apparent less affluent background.
Ok confused; they cut him saying βI love youβ the first time around but in 23 it was ok; because he said it…
I suppose the cut in ep17 when she danced in firelight on his boot-tips was a mistake. There's no prohibition on voicing 520 in dramas, even though there are more of the "xihuan ni" versions.
It caused some problems for Xu Weizhou and Huang Jinyu (aka Timmy and Johnny) at the time, despite making them famous; I did not watch it because the subject looked too toxic for my taste at the time and anyway it was cut short before end. I'm still procrastinating to watch it. Despite my liking Xu Weizhou's music. He's done awesome concerts, including I think the If by the Sea theme song he wrote for that webdrama. Sample here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f-JtQw18yGI I was also impressed at his daring to set a new catchy 2020s tune to the Snow poem by Mao Zedong. Of course, that was also to showcase his being one ambassador for China's 2022 Winter Olympics; the "traditional" tune and Xu Weizhou's "renewed" version are both on this recording, if you are curious: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X-HM9JzUWNk&t=67s
The Twinbed tune is originally from the excellent 2014 US movie In Your Eyes, if I am not mistaken. It's in the beginning of this trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RaG8B9GVwys Twinbed are:Nate Campany / Ben Romans
and now we wait an eon for last episodes! πwait. Did you already watch 22 ????? It's to be released on Monday?Have…
It doesn't matter much, but it might have been better if you'd put it like 'it's going to feel like I'll have waited" etc because as it stands, the sentence implies you were done waiting at time of posting, hence my half-puzzled reaction (in case you indeed were privy to what we ordinary audience were not). π (Ok, I'm a nitpicker. Feel free to pick on me when I next assemble a fault(y) line to fall into the abyss.) Me, it will indeed feel like eons went by before I catch those final episodes, because I likely will not be able to watch simultaneously with airing, this week. And have even less time then to read this lively comment section, and enjoy the juicy cut scenes π£
How come nobody told me Jerry Yan π₯ had a new drama?! π Now I have to speed-watch this to catch up LoL ππ
Take your time: final 3 episodes to be released on Monday-Tuesday. So clocking in 2x7 hrs should do it to catch up. If you can bear to skip intro and outro songs -and sometimes fast forward the annoying mom's story, you might even make it in less. But if you want the full experience, add time to watch the collected unedited-cut-scenes here: https://mydramalist.com/discussions/xia-hua/88355-unedited-cut-scenes
found an updated playlist with the songs:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=S5xc8xyzIxg&ab_channel=Sarann%5BM%5D
This playlist is missing two songs that are also not any more audible in the longer collection linked below. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VsPdXeF3Lcg ( but in that one, there are links in description to missing Trouble I'm In by Twinbed, and Half-Time of Heart (although it's mistakenly the mandarin version, not the original Cantonese one by Grasshopper)
Reset Life was not the right title on iQiyi search engine. Future Secrets did the trickπ So, I just watched through now finishing next to last episode, in which a meteor shower features π Also looked up quickly the genesis of this short drama for the show I Actor, in 2018.
Of course, Ding Yuxi was a familiar face to me since the ZLS drama. But I was also curious about Jerry Yan Chengxu's guest role, since I am watching The Forbidden Flower(π) and I noticed Reset Life was included in his filmography, when I thought to check...
