Park Gyu Young and Kim Min Jae teasing each other and tearing up while filming the ending scene of DALI AND THE COCKY PRINCE | 달리와 감자탕 (2021).
PGY: It was a very long and very precious journey. I’ve developed a lot of affection for the production staff, director, and other cast members and now it’s the end. But it feels refreshing because I have no regrets. I think the most memorable scene is the ending scene in the drama, which is also the last scene we filmed. KMJ: Today is the last day of filming, but I didn’t think it would end. In a good way. I thought it wouldn’t end, but now it has, so it still doesn’t feel quite real. I feel regretful that I have to say goodbye to Moo Hak, but it’s a relief that we finished filming with everyone safe and in good health. The most memorable scene is the ending scene I just filmed. Honestly, there were many, many memorable scenes but I choose the ending scene.
#anyone could tell just from the drama that it was a very loved production#very fun and warm filming atmosphere that definitely translated on screen#if they were any less emotional i'd be a little sad but even kmj's personal staff were crying lmao truly no one wanted it to end :(#park gyu young#kim min jae#celebs#dali and the cocky prince#myposts#kdrama#kdramaedit#kdramadaily#yes i came back a day after i posted to reupload bc i hated the colouring 🙈

The translation in the second pic is what is usually meant by the speaker. It literally means “I want to rest”.
We know Moo Hak believes that resting means nourishing and recharging oneself, which includes having proper meal.
But we also know whenever Dali says she wants to rest, it means she’s feeling overwhelmed and wants to hide away from everything and just be alone by herself. She even told him that she didn’t need anything because at the end of the day, she was facing too much chaos and all she wanted was peace.
And then we saw when she retreated into her room, she stayed in the dark corner of her room, even though the lit area of the room was literally next to her. The recurring theme of Dali retreating into her safe space in a dark area (both literally and figuratively) and feels comfortable in it is again emphasised in this scene.
Here we see the emotional journey experienced by Moo Hak as he wanted to reach out to her when he brought medicine to heal her physical injury. The shot of the bag of medicine that he brought, and him standing still in front of her door, further demonstrates that he’s come to understand that what she needed the most at the time was for time to be still in her safe space by herself after all the chaos that had been happening in her life ever since she received the phone call in The Netherlands about her father passing away.
And so, he stood still in the poorly lit area in front of her door, her staying still in the dark area of her room despite the lit area (albeit poorly) was just next to her.
The rooftop house (and the whole building) being painted in black just adds more depth to how the building became both of their safe space.

Me: i am so behind on all these dramas, but i don't have the emotional energy to get immersed in them rn and i'm too tired to read subtitles
Also me: let me start reading the manhwa semantic error for 8+ hours as if this doesn't mean reading and emotional investment too 🙃🙃
#i am always a hypocrite i guess 🤷♀️#still haven't finished yumi's cells or homcha (or run on for that matter) and am 5 weeks behind on dali and 2 on kieta & haven't started bb#yet ostensibly watching dramas is my main hobby? idek#blah blah blah#now that i caught up on semantic error i might fuck around and start who can define popularity since it is also being adapted for a drama#or maybe try finding and reading the translation of the semantic error webnovel bc i love those characters

Chapter 1 (Life is unpredictable, don’t take it to heart)
Chapter 1 || Next >>
And here we go! The first chapter of the White Cat Legend comic strips. Even though sometimes it’s referred to as Dali Temple Chronicles, I’ll be using the official English donghua title. One of the reasons is that, well, it’s the official localization (that the manhua doesn’t have), and the other is that “Dali Temple Chronicles” is not very accurate and frankly misleading.
While 寺 can be translated as “temple”, in this case its meaning is closer to “ministry”. 大理寺 actually refers to one of the Tang dynasty government agencies - the Court of Judicial Review. However, that’s quite a mouthful, so in the translations I’ll be mostly using Dali court (the term also used in the official donghua subtitles).
We meet our first protagonist! Chen Shi used to be a farmer and uses pretty informal language, including a dialect variant of “me”. It’s a little difficult to convey the exact feeling in English.
What I translated as “Hu cake” (the way it was in donghua subtitles and frankly the only way it could fit in the speech bubble) is a kind of baked flat wheat cake, often topped with sesame seeds. Very convenient food for traveling, looks like it was brought to China from the western nomadic peoples.
From here on, I’ll do my best to translate the sound effects, but I honestly couldn’t figure out what exactly that character on the second-to-last panel was, so I decided to leave it as is.
--------
I can’t promise to update often because real life can be a pain. But if you enjoyed the donghua, are suffering because of the hiatus and would like to see more White Cat Legend content, please give my little blog a follow!

«Hello son! Here I am.» Lorca adopts, in front of a Barcelonian photographer (1927), the posture Dalí gave him in El poeta en la platja d’Empúries, and adds by hand motifs related to San Sebastián and to the painter himself. He later on sent the poet the altered photo.

do a favourite dramas of 2021 list!
Sure thing anon! This year was a strange one (probably because the world was even more on fire than before) and there aren’t a lot of happy fluffy dramas on my list (I feel like less happy fluffy dramas were released, or maybe I was just in a year long mood?)
My Favorite K-Dramas of 2021
Run On (Romance, Slice of Life): I loved this slice of life drama about an athlete, a translator, a painter and a CEO so much that I have already rewatched it. This drama has so much to offer: Interesting and strong characters, a painter I’d die for and unique friendships. Did I mention there’s a legit ACE character? I mean... AMAZING.
Sell Your Haunted House (Fantasy, Crime, Romance?): This was one of my faves of the year! A bada*s goth hottie shaman gets rid of ghosts so that she can sell the houses. She gets a helper who she really does not want to work with but hey, that's what chemistry is made of! I was bummed by the lack of romance but really, it WAS romantic.
The Great Shaman Ga Doo Shim (Fantasy, romance, high school): This cute underrated web drama was one of my faves! High school kids (Nam Da Reum all growed up!) come together to solve murders that keep happening at their school. The special effects were highly silly but it’s lower budget so I didn’t care at all. AMAZING SOUNDTRACK and one of the cutest kisses of the year.
The Red Sleeve (Historical, Romance, Melodrama): If you want to know why Lee Junho is my bias, watch this insanely good though tragic historical drama. It’s based on a real love story between a King and his court lady and there is a ton of nuance when it comes to good and evil. It’s not an easy watch, but the acting chops of literally everyone keeps you enthralled (especially if you like saeguks).
Light On Me (Boy’s Love): I absolutely adored this simple and sweet drama! One of my favorite korean BLs EVER! Because it’s longer than the average Korean BL, it actually has: *cues triumphant music* Character development!
You Make Me Dance (Boy’s Love): A romance between a dancer and his debt collector. It’s got some pretty traditional romance tropes but hey, for 10 minute episodes it was cute!
Beyond Evil (Crime, Mystery): This creepy drama featuring a bunch of morally grey characters follows two cops who are trying to solve a serial killer crime. Yeo Jin Goo and Shin Ha Kyun have the most intense romantic chemistry I’ve seen in a long time.
Happiness (Horror, Romance, Action): As much as I tried to resist watching this drama (I hate zombies), the gifs won me over and I’m so glad I picked it up. A high school duo fake their marriage to get into some fancy apartments, just before a zombie outbreak. The female lead is a super strong bada*s and her man is 100% dedicated. Sure, some of the plot makes no science sense and the side characters are quite ridiculous, but the mains and their found family makes this totally worth watching. I haven’t even finished it yet but I KNOW it’s going to be one of my faves.
Hometown Cha Cha Cha (Romance, Slice of Life): I understand that there’s a lot of drama around the dating scandal of KSH and I myself have very strong feelings about it. This doesn’t take away from the fact that Hometown was an amazing wholesome drama about a dentist who moves to a small town. In fact KSH isn’t even on my list of favorite things about it: Found Family, Small town setting, Female Friendship, Soft second lead, so many amazing side characters! It would feel like I was lying if this gem didn’t make the list.
Dali and the Cocky Prince (Rom Com): A funny and sweet romance between an art gallery owner and a wealthy restauranteur. This almost didn’t make my list because the overall plot and side characters were very annoying, but listen: Dali and Moo Hak are ICONIC. Their characters are the kind that stand out as being super unique and their pairing was so adorable! Because of them, it’s worth watching.
My Roommate is a Gumiho (Rom Com, Romance, Fantasy): I had pretty low expectations for this drama about a Gumiho that wants to become human. But the leading ladies are a GIFT and there’s forced cohabitation which I always find super fun. Lee Dam is one of those characters I could watch forever (she’s hilarious) and the second lead lady was also amazing. This show wasn't flawless but it was super fluffy and fun. Plus the kisses were amazing and I lived for the 2nd couple.
Imitation (Rom Com, Kpop): Cute and silly k-pop drama about a failed idol group making a comeback. It wasn't popular and didn’t break any boundaries, but I thought it was super cute and really easy to watch. The main couple was adorable.
Flower of Evil (Crime, Romance, Thriller): A psychological thriller centered around a jewelry maker who is running from his past, and his cop wife (power couple alert!) who doesn’t know his original identity. The chemistry of the couple is amazing and all of the characters are nuanced and interesting. I was on the edge of my seat, AND sobbing! Also, I finally understand Lee Jun Ki stans, he was SO GOOD in this! Apparently I don’t know how TIME WORKS.
J-Drama Honorable Mention:
Kieta Hatsukoi (My Love Mix-Up!): An fluffy love story between a bi panicked boy and the guy he has a crush on. It was a bit cartoony but it’s sweet and fun, and how often do you see a Boy’s Love where the guy crushes on a cool female friend and then realizes he ALSO likes a guy in class? I really appreciated the nuance of that experience plus it’s pretty wholesome and fluffy.

I love these consecutive shots because the angle in the first picture was clearly a play on the phonetic similarity between Segi and 새끼 (saekki) which means bastard/scumbag and then the camera showed Jang Tae Jin, the 새끼 from Segi 😂😂😂

Inama Nushif from ‘Children of Dune’ (2003 Mini Series)
I love this part of the series because in a single montage you have:
Duncan Idaho / Chani Kynes friendship moment at the start there
The birth of Ghanima and her twin Leto 2(.5) Atreides, the God-Emperor of Dune
Paul Muad’Dib Atreides using his power to share Chani Kyne’s pain before he loses her forever
Alia Atreides, now succumbed to Possession and Abomination
The Settling of the Debts owed to House Atreides by the guild and Bene Gesserit
Princess Irulan waiting to see if Alia truly respects Paul Muad’Dib’s order to not come for her in the Settling of the Debts
All of it set to the lyricized version of Paul Muad’Dib’s eulogy of Chani Kynes in Chakobsa.
And still managing to foreshadow Alia Atreides’ ultimate fate.
Translation under the cut!

Richard Kruspe interview - Oxmox Hamburg Stadtmagazin 2021-12
Published 2021-12-04
Richard about Emigrate's new album, working with Till and Lemmy, cover songs, an Emigrate idea that ended up on a Rammstein album and more..
Disclaimer:
Before taking offense with anything RZK says in this interview, please consider
although my intention is do translate as correct as possible, there may be nuances lost in translation (neither english nor german is my first language)
the interviewer may have written down RZK's answers with a different nuance than Richard intended
Exclusive interview with Richard Kruspe
I had to break out of the Rammstein cosmos
Richard Kruspe (54) has shaped the sound of Rammstein with his massive guitar riffs for more than 25 years . The guitarist, singer and songwriter also works with Rammstein- Frontmann Till Lindemann on his own project, Emigrate .
Richard Kruspe: I had a difficult time. After our stadium tour, I fell into a hole. When at Rammstein concerts you hear every day how great you , you become addicted to it in a way. As a result, before the pandemic, for the first time in my life I had no motivation to even think about music . I had to move into the past to re-find myself. And in the process I came across old songs that I thought were beautiful. A very important process for me to again make music at all.
Just like the album “The Persistence Of Memory” there is a painting by Salvador Dali by that name. An coincidence?
No. I thought this name and this picture were so fitting for the time I had just experienced. I needed this urgency of memory to write this album ... The music has to touch me, for me to have images in my head. These can also be abstract. That happens to me in a very extreme way when I write and mix music.
What images did you have in mind during the dark “Blood Stained Wedding”?
With this song I had pictures from the movie "I Am The Legend" in my head, in which Will Smith walks alone through the streets of New York. "I am the last survivor in this world" . I often write intuitively about things I see or process. It doesn't always have to be about current affairs. Sometimes these themes come back ... Personally I already isolated myself before the pandemic. When that started, being isolated was nothing new to me. Dealing with yourself is something that makes you lonely. This always logically results in lyrics or music .
" Freeze My Mind" is one of the very first Emigrate songs, written in 2001.
Yes. That originated at a time when I felt I had to break out of the Rammstein-cosmos in order to create a balance. At that time I needed distance to define myself and developed the desire for something of my own. I always want to take new roads. While showering this morning, I wondered when the next musical revolution is coming. I don't know if it will ever happen. Rock music was the sound of the revolution in the 60s and 70s. Later came the rave-techno-electro wave. The rebellion of hip-hop I didn't really understand anymore.
Emigrate is a balance to your artistic work with Rammstein.
I needed this balance. Through Rammstein I learned that the big picture is more important than your own ego. On the other hand, I also have a vision. You can't necessarily enforce that in a democracy. I could only do that in my own world.
Till Lindemann also belongs to the Emigrate family. He did the lead vocals for the cover “Always On My Mind”. Is Lindemann your muse who always inspires you to new songs?
Yeahno. Naturally Till is part of my life. The original idea was that Till and I wanted to do Emigrate together . Understandably, the band had a problem with that. The Elvis song actually had nothing to do with Till . Years ago our record company wanted to make an album with Elvis songs. I thought Elvis ' voice incredibly exciting and started working on the song "Always On My Mind" . Later I considered who else could sing it.
And then you thought of Till Lindemann?
That was only at the last moment. Till has a very special voice and immediately agreed. I then sang along to it myself, which is very emotional ... It's exciting to bring what is muscially inside you, into a cover.
Is a good cover as labor-intensive as a completely new song?
Definitely. Sometimes even more labor intensive. When Rammstein covered “Stripped” by Depeche Mode , it was more difficult for us than writing a new song. Because you always try to keep the balance between the original and your own trademark.
Are you particularly happy when the original artists like your new versions?
In Elvis' case, that's difficult. The last Rammstein cover was made by Balbina . (Note: "Sonne" ) I thought that was really good. I heard it on Radio Eins , where it was played all the time. On the new “Black Album” there are also a couple of extremely good Metallica covers.
Did you still find Emigrate songs from the early days with Till Lindemann in your archive?
No. The basic building block back then was the song "Don't Die Before I Do" . We later recorded it with Rammstein and Sharleen Spiteri for the album "Rosenrot" . After that I continued Emigrate on my own. And the new album closes an era. I would like to move in a completely different direction. I like to play the piano and electronic instruments because nothing new happens to me on the guitar.
With Emigrate you also worked with Lemmy Kilmister from Motörhead. Was that exciting?
Of course! The idea was to do something exactly with people I adore. With Lemmy it was a very special moment shortly before his death. Even though he was already very ill, he particpated. Especially when you have grown up in the East like me and have idealized certain musicians, at such a moment you feel as if Christmas, Easter and a birthday happened at the same time.
How did you work with Lemmy back then?
I sent him the song and he sang on it. Lemmy was a rock *).
At the end of the 80s, Till Lindemann and you and your band, First Arsch, applied for a playing permit in order to be able to perform publicly in the GDR.
That was the time of the rebellion when punk bands suddenly came together. Punk arrived relatively late in Schwerin. Anyone who wanted to make music in the East needed a degree. The idea that you just pick up a guitar and start playing - you had to get used to this at first. At First Arsch we thrashed and let out emotions. Till on drums and me on guitar went on stage without rehearsing. I don't even know if that was even music, but the audience thought it was super awesome. Because it just was different. A liberation from the state and society.
What did you sing about back then?
There were no lyrics with First Arsch . Our bass player just made noises. It was a really exciting time. I went to the conservatory for four years, where I learned to play jazz guitar. And it took me another four years to forget it all again. Music that happens intuitively cannot be made on a drawing board. In retrospect, of course, I use parts of classical music to understand things. But you don't need a degree for these types of emotions.
Rammstein will go on a European tour in 2022.
You always like to do things that you haven't done for a long time. What I missed most during the pandemic was going to concerts myself.
-----
*) the word used is 'Urgestein' which literally translates 'Premieval rock', and means something like 'Founding member', 'Old guard' or something.. My feeling is that Richard thinks of Lemmy as a very experienced singer, very professional in getting the song done.

Bonus: What is the Dali court?
So I don’t know if anyone remembers, but shortly before I was forced to go on hiatus, I promised to post some bonus content. That promise has been haunting me ever since, so since I had some extra free time on my hands, I found my drafts and finished it.
I present to you some of the materials that RC posted on her weibo explaining in a bit more detail the setting of the story!
This is ancient China, so warnings for (though lighthearted) mentions of torture.
Master post
Man, was that a pain to typeset (especially the diagram!) I really hope it’s at least somewhat readable.
The small blurb here doesn’t even begin to cover the amount of legends circulating about Di Renjie. There’s an English wikipedia article on him that you might want to check out if you’re interested. Maybe some of you have heard of the movies about Judge Dee? Yup, that’s based on him.
The final page is stuff that is absolutely useless to the English-speaking audience, but the seal is adorable so I kept and translated it.

Zen’in Naobito
“You all are a bit too dull”
Profile
Age: 71 years Grade: Special Grade 1 sorcerer Curse technique: Projection Technique Technique: Secret formula “Emotion of Fallen flowers”* Hobby/special skill: Anime Favorite food: Alcohol (Japanese sake) Least favorite food: hanpen (a type of fishcake, usually have white color and square shape) Stress: Gojo (family)
Q&A
Q: Please tell us if there’s a base for his character design A: Dali (Salvadore Dali, artist)
Q: Is there a reason why even during emergency time in Shibuya incidents he doesn’t work? A: Because he doesn’t get along well with Gojo family. Because he is not interested in normal people (does not have the intention to save normal people)
Q: Is there any reason for his name? A: Something that can make strong atmosphere.
Q: It seems that he lives in Kyoto, why he comes and joins in during Shibuya incident? A: Special Grade 1 sorcerer is someone who has no relation to the school (someone who can perform as sorcerer but has no grade), who the school deems them equivalent to Grade 1. He was just going to help a little bit when he came to Tokyo (The reward is high).
Q: What is the circumstance that cause Naobito to became Zen’in family’s head? A: Simply because he’s a strong sorcerer. If only based on strength, then Touji is also the same, but without cursed tools, Touji can only fights against human (can’t fight against curse spirits).
Q: Because he has “projection cursed technique”, is he knowledgeable about how anime is made? A: Naobito’s hobby is Akutami’s hobby. From the time it was made, originally that technique is derived from video medium and camera. It is kind of brush up from the 24-frame anime during Naobito’s generation.
Projection Technique
The technique that makes Naobito being called “The Fastest”
By dividing 1 second into 24 parts, his visibility becomes a 24 panels. By moving in advance, he can create a hit in certain point of the anime panel. After that, he traces the movement with high speed. Both the sorcerer himself and the object touches by the sorcerer must be made into 1/24 second for the movement to be projected, but if a failure to happen, freeze will happen for 1 second. For enemy who doesn’t know this technique, in order to freeze them with high chance, if the sorcerer hit the panel successfully, it will feel like 1 second has passed. With this technique, Naobito can perform super speed action, that he is called as the fastest sorcerer.
*it seems to be taken from the saying 落花情あれども 流水意無し meaning the scattered flowers yearn for the running water, but river water flows with unknowning (uncaring) face. The saying means not being able to communicate with the other even if one has feelings.
(for previous anon asking Naobito’s page translation. There’s no mention whether his technique is inherited or not, I would leaning his to be hisouden/ non-inherited)
(ETA: Okay, Projection apparently seems to be souden/inherited. So the Zenin has several inherited techniques. Huh.)
