Legally Romance 7/8

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10

Comparable to: Lost Romance (Taiwanese); Forever Love (cdrama)

As much as I love both actors, especially Tao, this series for me was very uneven. The first half I actually didn’t care for as much as I did as the last half which is unusual since it’s usually the other way around. I think it had a lot to do with how the female was written with the storyline. The whole plot resolves on “dreams” with a twist (don’t want to give away spoilers for those who still haven’t seen it yet) Now the chemistry between both leads are amazing to a point. I do feel Tao has more of a lovey-dovey feel to him then Song Zu Er especially in the first half, where Zu Er’s character is more stand-off’ish. There’s much more of a connection in the second half between them when her ‘dream’ ends. Overall it’s a nice pleasant unique romcom with a few hiccups here and there.

ABSTRACT

The newt genus Tylototriton is widely distributed in east, southeast, and south Asia. Previous studies have shown that basic surveys of this genus are far from comprehensive, and unknown species still exist within the group. In this study, we described a new species of this genus,  Tylototriton gaowangjienensis sp. nov., from Gaowangjie National Nature Reserve in Hunan Province, China, based on evidence from molecular identification and morphological comparisons...

The FSYY Body Count List

…Because when you are trying to procrastinate an assignment, you'll focus your attention on anything that isn't the assignment, no matter how strange the subject matter is.

So here is a list of the individual Chan juniors' body count during the course of the FSYY novel. Fantastic creatures (non-sapient, not yaoguais that have cultivated a human form, but aren't regular animals either) are listed separately.

Nezha: 15 characters

-Li Gen the Yaksha (Qiankun Ring to the head)

-Ao Bing (pulled off steed with sash, Qiankun Ring to the head, tendons pulled out)

-Verdant Cloud Boy (archery accident)

-Yao Shaosi (speared)

-Colored Cloud Immortal (speared)

-Deng Zhong (knocked off steed with Qiankun Ring, then speared)

-Ji Li (speared)

-Li Qi (knocked down with ring, speared)

-Pong Hong (knocked down with ring, speared)

-Wang Bao (knocked off steed with ring, speared)

-Ma Zhong (incinerated by the Nine Fire Dragon Bell Cover)

-Long Anji (knocked down by a ring better than his, speared)

-Gao Lanying (didn't get her needles out in time, knocked down, speared)

-Ding Ce (killed by the Qiankun Ring)

-Lu Renjie (knocked off his steed by the Qiankun Ring in a fatal blow)

Note: I didn't count the Colored Cloud Boy, Lady Shiji's other disciple that gets bonked by the Qiankun Ring, because his death is never confirmed, even though he was already "struggling for his life on the ground" when Shiji comes out of the cave.

Yang Jian: 13 characters, 2 creatures

-Chen Jiugong (speared)

-Zhou Xin (Skyhowler'ed, then chopped in half)

-Bi Huan (Skyhowler'ed, then speared)

-Wen Liang (tried to escape after being bricked by Nezha, got hit in the shoulder by Yang Jian's slingshot, fell off his horse, and died)

-Yu Hua (Leizhen Zi knocked him off his steed, Yang Jian finished him off with his polearm)

-Zhang Kui's mom (indirectly, he tricked Zhang Kui into killing her via transformation arts)

-Chang Hao (Yang Jian transformed into a flying centipede, snipped its head off, reverted to his true form, chopped up the snake, then incinerated it with Five Thunder Arts)

-Wu Long (Yang Jian turned into a golden rooster and pecked it to pieces)

-Yang Xian (tried to flee after seeing Yang Jian turn into a tiger, chopped in half)

-Dai Li (Skyhowler'ed, then speared)

-Guo Chen (speared)

-Lei Kun (speared)

-The Nine-headed Pheasant Demoness (indirectly: Skyhowler'ed, then decapitated by Zhou soldiers on the execution ground under Yang Jian's watch)

Creatures: 

The Flower Fox Ferret, Mo Lishou's monstrous pet (Yang Jian burst out of its body after being eaten, tearing it into two halves in the process)

The One-horned Black Smoke Beast, Zhang Kui's magical steed (indirectly, same as Zhang Kui's mom)

Huang Tianhua: 7 characters

Chen Tong (Fire Dragon Dart sucked into Tianhua's flower basket, then decapitated by the beam of the Moye Sword)

The Four Mo Brothers (killed by the Heart-piercing Nail)

Yu Qin (killed by the Fire Dragon Dart)

Chen Geng (knocked off steed by the Fire Dragon Dart, then decapitated)

Yang Ren: 6 characters

Fang Yizhen (incinerated by the Five Fire Fan)

Li Ping (caught in the fan's AOE while trying to persuade Lv Yue)

Chen Geng (incinerated by the fan)

Lv Yue (incinerated by the fan)

Yu Xian & Yu Zhao (incinerated together)

Leizhen Zi: 5 characters

Xin Huan (Skyhowler'ed, then finished off by Leizhen Zi with a staff to the head)

Zhou Xin (Staff to the head)

Peng Zun (knocked off his steed via a staff to the shoulder, then decapitated)

Yu Guang (staff to the head)

Lei Peng (KO'ed with staff)

Gou Zhang (speared)

Jade Pipa Demoness (indirectly: decapitated by soldiers under his supervision)

Jinzha: 3 characters

Wang Mo (immobilized by the Dragon Stake, then killed with a sword)

Dou Rong (indirectly: Jinzha immobilized him with the Dragon Stake, but Jiang Wenhuan made the killing blow)

Muzha: 2 characters

Li Xingba (killed with one of Muzha's twin flying swords)

Lady Chedi (killed with twin flying sword)

...

Final Thoughts

-If you count the creatures, Nezha and Yang Jian's kill counts will be equal, though several of Yang Jian's kills are indirect.

-Jiang Ziya: tfw your logistic guy, responsible for overseeing the supply line, has a body count as high as your designated army vanguard.

-Yeah, Yang Jian's official job in the Zhou army is the Grain Transport Officer. I think it really fits his personality——the clever, ruthless trickster who's also a mature, polite disciple.

-Though Leizhen Zi's kill counts can't match Nezha and Yang Jian, there are multiple descriptions of him knocking down whole sections of the city wall with a single staff strike. Maybe he's the anti-fortification specialist of the team or something. /lh

-Huang Tianhua: the ranged attacker who keeps trying to be a melee DPS. /j

-For real though, he seems to rely a lot more on the Fire Dragon Darts from a slain foe, and when the Heart-piercing Nail is used after the Mo brothers' demise, it only ends up going straight through Xin Huan's wing and the Winged Immortal's right arm.

-Yang Ren always gives me the impression of a soft-spoken bureaucrat who gradually discovered his inner pyromaniac after receiving the Five Fire Fan.

-My list is only counting the named characters, but everyone on this list who's still alive during the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation Arc are described as unleashing their might and treasures during the battle.

-Considering the AOE effects of some of these treasures, they probably send a lot more filler NPCs into the Investiture. 

-BTW, there are 152 names on the Investiture who are labelled as having died in the Ten Thousand Immortal Formation. 124, if you leave out the 28 Lunar Mansions, who are killed by the 4 Immortal Swords seized from Patriarch Tongtian's previous formation.

-How many percent of those 124 kills each Chan Sect participant is responsible for is up to your imagination.

-Forget about the Nezha age discourse——Huang Tianxiang was probably about 10 when he made his first kill, since the text described his head as "still bald". If I remember correctly, in the Ming dynasty, before 10, most children had their heads shaved completely bald, or leaving only a few patches of hair tied up in a braid/bun.

-He's also 14 when he made his third kill, and 17 when he was executed by Qiu Yin. Four chapters prior, Huang Tianhua died to Gao Jineng.

-Jinzha and Muzha: tfw your total kill counts combined is only a third of your little brother's.

-The one detail I've observed is that Jinzha ends up rescuing/attempting to rescue Nezha, Huang Tianhua, Jiang Ziya, and Tianhua again (together with Muzha) after they get knocked down.

-I feel kinda bad for Muzha when I look at the numbers. He does cut off one of Lv Yue's arms after recovering from his first plague attack, though.

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) Masterpost

Wang Chuan Feng Hua Lu (忘川风华录) is a Vocal synth (Vocaloid and SynthV) music project. It consists of songs themed around different figures throughout Chinese history. The project is a collaboration between different artists and creatives, with music and videos featuring prominent traditional Chinese elements. The project's title translates to "The Records of Magnificence of the Wangchuan" - In Chinese mythology, "Wangchuan" (or River of Forgetting) is a river in the Underworld that can rid one of their past life's memories, similar to the river Lethe.

A mobile game adaptation has also been developed by NetEast. Unfortunately, I haven't played it so I can't give much insight on it. However, I assume that its premise is similar to that of the idea behind the project as a whole: all these historical figures meeting each other in the Underworld after they died. Maybe.

You can find all the songs on Bilibili. The official Weibo can be found here. The game's website, which includes all characters appearing so far in the game, can be found here, and its Weibo can be found here.

(If you prefer YouTube, I've also put together a handy playlist. Please know that most of these videos are reposts though, so please watch the original Bilibili MVs if you can!)

This blog is where I will be posting everything I feel like I need to say about the songs in this project. A lot of it is lifted from my Twitter account but will be in much more detail. Note that I probably won't touch collab songs, or songs that don't focus solely on the project's own characters.

Disclaimer: I do not speak Chinese, nor am I an expert on Chinese history. Therefore, I cannot reliably translate the lyrics to these songs, nor my words should be taken as gospel. I am merely a nerd gushing about my hyperfixation.

The Brightest Star in the Sky 9

Story: 8

Acting: 10

Chemistry: 10 ����

Comparable to: Sh**ting Stars (kdrama); Tsumari Suki tte iitai n Dakedo (jdrama)

Is it predictable yes. Is it a cheesy cliche drama, double yes. If you love a good idol love/hate story with beautiful music that is highly well written this is your drama. Yes it won’t be for everyone, but I throughly love it. It’s more or less a switch your brain off drama and sit back relax and enjoy the romcom. The main leads have amazing chemistry together. In fact I wished they had more romantic scenes together. It’s a slow burn romance with a lot of episodes (44). The female lead character is also written in a little naively thick (meaning she doesn’t realize her own feelings nor his ugh so it does get to be a tad bit frustrating at times). Nevertheless the OST is beautiful and overall a great drama to watch.
