I noticed this also when I watched on Youtube both the English-subbed auto-translated to French version and the French version (La Longue Ballade), both posted by Huace, the official source of TLB. The auto-translated version keeps going back and forth with vous/tu in the alcoholic scene in ep 5. But the French version called Ah Sun "Soleil" in later episodes, which I didn't like because his name represents Falcon, not Soleil.

Regardless, the drama is so good, we all can enjoy the essence of it even without perfect translation!

This is pretty much me. After years of watching asian dramas, I never before engaged in discussion or rating. I only previously came to MDL to search for infos on dramas. But with TLB, I'm compelled to create an account, rate the show 10, participate in countless discussions, and contribute to creative content.

So, I totally understand how you feel. =)

This is one of the main reasons why I enjoy TLB so much. Almost all antagonists initially cast in negative light are given opportunities to shine and redeem themselves.

I only remember one scene where she called him "boss" in English translation. This was in ep. 9 in the shabby house when he gave her money, and she thanked him => "Thank you, boss." If you're referring to that, it's not in term of informal/formal language. She's calling him that because of his generosity and his fake status of a businessperson/merchant.

They never had any true informal/formal language between them. Very early on, he called her ShiSi Lang, almost like Mr. Shi Si, but the language structure of formal/informal isn't similar as in French (vous/tu), or Vietnamese, or Korean which is all very distinct.

His character is introduced in ep 36. From there, I think he's in about 3 more episodes, give or take 1. But definitely from 36 - 39.

I just thought of a couple of name blending for Dilireba and Leo. They are already being called "3088" among the Mandarin speaking communities. We don't have any for the English speaking communities.

I give you: SHEEPROCKS and SHEEPSTONES!

Rationale: Dilireba is also called "Ba Ba" which sounds like the sounds sheeps make. The "LEI" in Wu Lei in Chinese character is composed of 3-rocks/stones.

Interestingly, when I looked up Sheeprocks and Sheepstones, they are real places in the USA and the UK respectively.

Which one you like more? Sheeprocks or Sheepstones? I can't decide.

A lovely scene! When I watched it the first time and saw how his gaze caressed her at the 3rd wish, I love Leo's acting even more! Playful, sexy, and not all that innocent. So much is expressed, yet not said during that fleeting moment. You can feel Ah Sun knows what the 3rd wish is because he allows us to see it through his smile, but he doesn't believe CG is ready for it yet. Also, he's solidifying their relationship as long-term commitment when he said the "days ahead of us are long."

Ah Sun....sigh... how can we not adore this man?

Wow. Where is this?

Wow. Really loving this fmv. this version of “say something...” is so poignant. Makes me want to hold on tight and not let go of their spirit.

It’s a joke I made. :)

I like knowing how he kept himself motivated with Pic of Ah Sun though.

Regardless, it’s a good thing because he’s in such good physical form now based on some of his more recent revealing photos.

It’s a light hearted prank by me.

That’s pushing the envelope, so, no.

Wow. It’s very well done.

Well, bathing nude is solo activity. He wasn’t touching anyone else or vice versa. Regardless, those clips are probably locked up in the director’s safe. If only one of us can Houdini it out to share. :)

Yah, me too! Enjoy first, deal with the consequences after.

Shawn Qu from Bloody Romance was initially offered this role.

I agree with you that I can’t see anyone else being Ashile Sun other than Leo.

Rumor has it that the one cut episode was mostly with Ah Sun bathing nude in the river.

It’s so hot and revealing it didn’t pass govt censorship. The govt stated those scenes may sizzle our mind.

Yes, I know what you mean. Just let all your strong feelings about GeSun and TLB out. We’re here for you. Say it as many times as you need to start the moving on process. :)

Yup, it’s so good that I already told my partner to dress up as Ah Sun for Halloween. And I already started calling him Ah Sun. =)

No thoughts. I just enjoy knowing that you’re putting a lot of time into this. I’m glad because I’m still laughing with the fact That I’m not the only one deeply affected with GS-PTSD. Thanks for making the forum fun again. There’s been too much discord recently.
