Gleich vorneweg – schon lange habe ich nicht mehr so einen wunderbar leichtfüßig-spritzigen Léhar gehört, wohltuend ohne die oft so üppig-pappige Walzer-Rührseligkeit. Schlank und präzise wird musiziert, sehr modern tönt die Premiere der Operette “Die lustige Witwe” mit dem jungen PATRICK HAHN am Pult der PHILHARMONIA ZÜRICH aus dem Graben… Continue reading Die lustige Witwe – Oper Zürich…

SHADOW dir. Zhang Yimou

On the first day of spring, Father was assassinated. It happened in court in front of all the ministers. The killer cut his head off with an axe. Uncle, worried I'd meet the same fate, searched everywhere. At last in Jing City, he found a boy my age who looked just like me. He brought him here for secret training, hoping to shield me from palace intrigue. To protect me, that boy's become the "shadow".

Yo, Shout out to Jurassic World: Chaos Theory for showcasing hippos for the Terrifying Apex Predators they truly are

Makes me feel good knowing even giant Dinos that could stomp me outta existence are terrified of em

These fuckers are ready and willing to throw hands with a large carnivorous dinosaur three times their size

God truly went all out for these creatures

I giggle....

Nami and chao maybe....

Both separate and maybe a few poprocks yuri ones perchance? (Ultimately up to you ofc :3)

hey there bestest frfriend..... I'm so tired............ I hate gym...... (as with all my hcs, I don't read any lore before writing these!! if they directly contradict canon, I'm right by default)

NAMI DENG

severe hearing damage (she just like me frfr....)

has been playing instruments since she was barely able to walk.... got really good at a few tho

allergic to shellfish

genuinely would not be able to chose cat vs dog. has a dog (silken windhound) and a cat (British shorthair) and they're her babies,

she gives off Maine coon vibes..... maybes standard orange?

outdoors-y person! enjoys biking

nipple piercings.... who said that.....

mcr fan *bats eyelashes* (yes this is self indulgent let me live....)

sensory issues, especially with sound. I don't remember what that's called but its the thing where people hate the sound of chewing.

can barely lace her own shoes......

CHAOXING LAI

youngest child vibes

was always told she was very mature for her age when she was a (pre)teen

now acts slightly childish just to counteract that

double-jointed / very flexible

very eloquent and poetic (she also writes poems.... shes a bit of a sap)

struggled a lot in her early career given she lives in such a colorist society as a black female performer

has gained lots of prestige as time went on

didnt go to college (too busy with idol training) but if she had she would've been an writing major

multilingual (eng, kor, and k-sign)

super sweet but gets labeled as pissy by the media cuz they harass her 24/7 (think peak britney)

POPROCKS (short...)

nami helps make chao's (non-stage) clothes

theyre the type to randomly surprise each other with fancy dinners on a random thurday

constantly blasting music and just chilling together

random midnight texts that're full out poems from chao's side, recountings of her day from nami's

they're both pretty active so maybe camping or working out together? definetly pool/ocean dates

chao taught nami how to do makeup -> now they take turns doing eachothers

In the middle of the night, I wonder what you were trying to eavesdrop on. That doesn't seem very honorable.

DRAMA REVIEW | You Are Desire (2023)

From the very start I was very impressed with this drama. The first episode felt grounded in reality and presented all the main characters as young adults behaving like such but also with a level of maturity that felt respectful. Sometimes youth dramas don't know how to balance the growing pains, friendship and romance but You Are Desire does it perfectly.

Xia Feng Yan created a story with solid development based on actual growing from well rounded characters that act and react in ways that feel natural. I am amazed this is her first project and I will keep an eye on her because she has a bright future.

Deng Ke (My Huckelberry Friends) also started in the industry as a screenwriter before transitioning into directing, so it was a perfect fold for Xia's story. He understood the assignment and complemented the script with beautiful cinematography, camera movements and choice of cast.

This drama could have died in the hands of a lesser cast but Zhou Yiran and Zhuang Dafei carried the drama flawlessly. Most of the story centers around them and how they interact with others when loneliness has been a part of their young lives for a long time. The supporting cast were also at their best, each with their own lives and struggles which made them well rounded individuals and not an artifact to push the leads's story.

All of these elements created a beautiful group of people dealing with different experiences. A slice of life drama where we understand the world is not always fair and parents make mistakes; where people need to learn to grieve in a healthy way. That families can all look very different from each other and that's okay as long there's love. That you don't always pass the university exam and your workplace might suck. A world where you fall in love and support one another as you grow together with a clear understanding of each other. That life can be sweeter when you are surrounded of good people who truly appreciate you.

Overall, You Are Desire it's a wonderful story that enjoyed from the very first episode to the last one. Criminally underrated, for sure, as I don't understand how more people are not talking about what is probably one of 2023's best cdramas.
