寫給我。 寫作好比接吻，用心靈親吻，只不過少了唇。 Mi scriva. Scrivere è come baciare, solo senza labbra. Scrivere è baciare con la mente. 💋

Love is weird/ I love strange u short review

This is so so low budget mini drama and it got 21 ep with 5 minutes showtime each.

What I mean with low budget is regarding their outfit throughout the show.

They keep wearing the same thing and the clothes look so cheap

U will notice they keep wearing the same outfit and reuse it by changing hairstyle

Aren't u rich?

The plot was a marriage contract where u will feel confuse on what time did they fall in love and suddenly they in love with each other so much.

There some or many moment that was cringe and funny

Theres 2 kiss scene where one it's a sudden kiss and second is this one the ending kiss

Well at least this has happy ending

Rating: 2/5

Bcoz the low budget and wtf plot.

My Journey To You - Thoughts and Impressions Part 1 of 2

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)

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

Part 2 HERE

天涯孤鴻¹，無根行客²。

Faraway a lone goose, rootless wanderer

執子之手³，坐看雲舒⁴。

Holding your hands and watching the clouds to scatter.

Wow there are so many quotes in those sentences. Those have its own meaning with mixing, so you don't have to read all the references, you may choose which part or who's saying you are more interested.

The poems Zhou zishu saying are missing old times and loneliness. The speakers of both poem were in the harsh situation, still they tried to keep their fidelity. Maybe that's what Zhou zishu sees in Wen kexing.

The poems Wen kexing saying are mixture of feeling and relief? emptiness?? I'm not sure. The first part of the sentence is definitely flirting, then the last part has philosophical meanings. Somehow, Wen kexing is saying, he would just watch clouds and leave his vengeance behind if Zhou zishu is there with him, holding hands watching clouds together. 아으아아아아아아아아아아아아아아아아 온객행 미친놈 주자서한테 미친놈아아아아아아 ༼;´༎ຶ ۝༎ຶ`༽

1. 孤鴻

The title is卜算子·黄州定慧院寓居作 (bǔ suàn zǐ · huáng zhōu dìng huì yuàn yù jū zuò; write in 定慧院, huang zhou)

缺月掛疏桐，漏斷人初靜。

The wane moon hanging on the bare trees. In the dark night there is no sound nor people.

誰見幽人獨往來，縹緲孤鴻影。

Who would look a hermit walks, it looks like a shadow of flying away goose.

驚起卻回頭，有恨無人省。

Startled awake then look back, There is nobody who knowsy sorrow.

揀盡寒枝不肯棲，寂寞沙洲冷。

Hesitated to land which bare trees to sat on, where I sat the dreary sand is just cold.

This poem has written by 蘇東坡(sū dōng pō) in 明朝(Ming dynasty). At that time 蘇東坡 was banished away from his home. His poem was very metaphorical that the other were framed him with treason. So his poem is very nihilistic. Here the 孤鴻(gū yàn; a lone goose) is the poet who's situation is not a goose but the shadow of it. He did not plead guilty of his charge. Even his living was petty he didn't want to be being petty. 孤鴻 means one's fidelity.

2. 無根行客

The title of the poem is 憶少年·別歷下(yì shǎo nián · bié lì xià; who misses 歷下) by 晁補之(cháo bǔ zhī) in 宋朝(Song dynasty).

無窮官柳，無情畫舸，無根行客。

Eternal willow avenue, ruthless waterways, rootless wanderer.

南山尚相送，只高城人隔。

Saying farewells in 南山(nan shan, south mountain), the hight rampart cleaves us.

罨畫園林溪紺碧，算重來、盡成陳跡。

Small stream in the garden, green and blue, wherever I go, our trace has gone.

劉郎鬢如此，況桃花顏色。

When my hair is turning white, where the young peach flourish.

This poem is missing someone when the speaker is getting older. The opportunity to see each other getting thin.

3. 執子之手

This is from 詩經(shi jing; Classics of poem), it is in one of the chapter, 國風(guo feng). Also it has 160 peaces of poem, and this is from 邶風(Bei feng; bei nation's fork song). The title is 擊鼓(ji gu; Drumming).

The speaker of this poem is a remnant of the defeated war. He was missing home and family. The poem has 5 parts, the quote is from the 4th one, which is a lyric.

死生契闊 與子成說

Dying, living, facing, parting, promised to do so together.

執子之手 與子偕老

Clutching your hands, Promised to be old together.

4. 坐看雲舒

and the next part is from 小窗幽记(xiăo chuāng yōu jì). This sentence is very famous that used in other literature in many other countries (mainly chinese character boundary). It is also in 菜根譚(cài gēn tán) from 明朝(Ming dynasty) somehow it wasn't so popular in china but it was in Korea.

寵辱不驚, 看庭前花開花落;

No fright for be honored or be ashamed, saunter the small garden Watching flowers to bloom and to fall.

去留⽆意, 望天上雲捲雲舒

Come and go are meaningless, thoughtlessly look up the say, clouds to gather, to scatter.

It's very philosophical, it shows nihilism. Whatsoever person does cannot be affect the others. So don't need to think about what happens and worries don't matter.
