Restless Rewatch: The Untamed Episode 07 part two

(Masterpost)

Warning: Spoilers for All 50 Episodes!

Lantern Lighting

Now we have the famous lantern scene, where everybody gets to express their character and have dates, ranging from disastrous to delightful, with the objects of their affection.

Wei Wuxian continues to be ridiculously good at drawing.

We’ve all seen Lan Wangji’s lovely first smile in the show a million times, so...let’s look at it again!

This scene is important not just because of the smile, but because there’s a distinct shift in the way they talk about their growing relationship. In the pond, it was “come visit me” and “never!” “I want to be your friend” “No need.” Basically Lan Wangji firmly saying no to Wei Wuxian’s offers of friendship.

This time, Wei Wuxian says “let’s do this together” and Lan Wangji says “I’m used to being alone,” which is not actually a No, just an explanation. And WWX says, you can change that. And then Lan Wangji DOES change it, sharing the lantern and the promise with Wei Wuxian.

Whoever painted this flower is even better than Wei Wuxian at plein air painting.

(more after the cut!)

Everybody’s wishes

Nie Huasang makes a practical wish. Wen Qing prays for her brother and Jiang Cheng notices how she’s like Yanli. Jiang Cheng isn’t very intense about Wen Qing, which could be a sign of his shyness but could also be a sign of his gayness or aceness. After all, later in life he’s an apparently wealthy clan leader who is hot as fuck, and needs an heir, since his nephew is a Jin. But he’s still not married, 16 years after breaking up with and uh, helping to kill and cremate, the girl he liked in summer school.

The Promise We Made Together

Wei Wuxian makes an ultra-idealistic wish/promise while Lan Wangji watches and falls the rest of the way in love with him, and silently makes the same pledge inside his head. Later they will each refer to this as a promise they made together, which is a really super high level of face-reading by Wei Wuxian, to understand that he really is speaking for both of them here. While making this promise, Lan Wangji brings out his Yin Iron Magic Bag and waves it around in front of everyone, but nobody notices.

Let’s take a moment to consider *why* this moment is so powerful for Lan Wangji. Lan Wangji is a boy whose emotions are always on the boil. He’s 100% upset all the time, at this age, and he keeps it clamped down all the time. His cultivation level is probably as high as it is partly because of all the work he does in emotion regulation. (note: if you haven’t read all the meta at @howpeacefulislwj , go read it; it’s awesome and hilarious)

Wei Wuxian doesn’t GAF about emotion regulation; he just expresses what he feels, all the damn time.

He is openly bored, lusty, playful, hungry, whiny. He straight up tells Lan Wangji “you’re boring and you have a stick up your ass” as part of saying he wants to be friends; no deference and also no falseness.

And he can see right through Lan Wangji’s reserve, barging into his loneliness and isolation without any regard for all of his wards. Wards are made to be broken.

(Unrelated note: Young Lan Wangji's rare moments of contentment seem to come from looking at something beautiful--the moon, falling petals, these lanterns, his mirror.)

But Wei Wuxian is also good. Lan Wangji desperately wants to be good. And here’s Wei Wuxian embodying this awful, amazing, tempting alternative path, in which all the interesting things in life get explored thoroughly, all the sweetness and beauty gets consumed unreservedly, all the pain and ugliness gets confronted and endured without hesitation.

In this moment, Wei Wuxian tells Lan Wangji “you can change,” and then offers up this prayer/promise that is just pure chivarly, speaking straight to Lan Wangji’s heart. Very simply, I want to spend my life doing right. Not 3500 rules; just one.

This infuriating boy, who breaks rules and who flirts indiscriminately and who pushes and pushes and pushes, reveals himself in this moment to be a hero at the beginning of his journey, and Lan Wangji sees it, and his heart goes right over the cliff.

The Girls’ Room

The girl cultivators all rush over to Yanli to get in her business about her betrothal, inspiring Jin Zixuan to act like a jerk to her and get even further onto Wei Wuxian’s bad side.

Talk Shit, Get Hit

Yanli’s wish was that Wei Wuxian would grow up and be good. He promptly launches his own personal Sunshot campaign, punching her fiancee so hard that the sun falls out of the sky and the previously well-lit scene transitions to full night.

So, in English, “don’t mention it again” is really mild, akin to “I don’t want to talk about it.” Wei Wuxian’s reaction makes it seem like Jin Zixuan said something really shitty, like “don’t you dare mention that woman to me!” So I’m assuming something is being lost in translation.

Lan Wangji tries to calm him down. He grabs Wei Wuxian’s sexy arm muscle and basically holds it until the Jiangs exit the scene.

Nie Huaisang has placed himself between the opposing factions, which is unusually direct of him. In the future he’ll stick to being an unindicted co-conspirator when Wei Wuxian starts trouble.

Ants in my Pants

Lan Wangji thinks kneeling can make Wei Wuxian cry, which is adorable of him.

He really relishes this opportunity to be a pedantic tool to his new boyfriend that annoying boy he hardly ever touches, and it really doesn’t work out for him, poor lamb.

Jiang Fengmian stops by to show exactly how deep his affection for Wei Wuxian runs, and to give him whiplash from constantly changing parental expectations. In a couple of hours he’ll be laughing over WWX & JC’s hijinks.

Wei Wuxian takes this opportunity to fantasize about bad things happening to the other boy in the fight, which is in no way foreshadowing of anything.

Douche Dads Conference

We now convene this meeting of the douchebag council. Jiang Cheng is also invited even though he’s a prick, not a douche. <--important distinction

This is our first time meeting Clan Leader Jin Guangshan. He's actually the most sensible and best parent in this scene, but his smug self-satisfaction hints at his true nature. This actor, Shen Xiaohai, has been active in cdramas for a long while now. I wonder what he looked like 15 years ago?

...Holy mother of god.

Jiang Fengmian is the worst dad and the worst husband here. His clan believes in letting children do what they want - uhh YOUR child wants to marry Jin Zixuan. “I wrote a letter to her mother, who arranged this marriage.” Uhhh she arranged for her sickly, low-cultivation-level, sweet and vulnerable child to marry the heir of a rich and powerful clan, with a powerful mother-in-law who’s looking forward to loving and protecting her. Basically she’s guaranteed her daughter’s safety and comfort, and even potential happiness, since her husband may learn to appreciate her (and in fact, does, thanks to soup and repeated beatings from WWX).

Mom worked hard and probably spent a fair amount of social capital to achieve this. And you’re going to toss that aside because the boy thinks he’s too good for her? What the everloving fuck, how are you a clan leader in the first place?

You can see that Jiang Cheng understands all of this and what a terrible choice his father is making here.

So do the other adults in the room.

Jin Guangshen: our wives are going to kill us

Lan Qiren: I'm looking at a couple of dead men

Jiang Fengmian pointedly won’t listen to Jiang Cheng or let him speak, showing that all his talk about being free is actually bullshit, that only applies to other people’s children.

Jiang Chang vaults off of the deck to tell Wei Wuxian about it. Hottt

Sorry Sis

Wei Wuxian goes to Jiang Yanli to sorta-apologize and sorta ask to be let off the hook for fucking up her engagement, which he absolutely did. He knows it, which is presumably why he bows to her in paperman form while hiding outside.

At no time has Jiang Yanli indicated to anyone that she doesn’t want to marry Jin Zixuan, as far as I can see, or said she wanted to be defended from insults with punching. Look how good SHE is at defending a person from insults, for comparison.

Yin Iron Blah Blah Blah

The senior Lans meet with Jiang Fengmian to talk about the Yawn Yin Iron. Yawn.

Jiang Fengmian addresses Lan Xichen as Lan Gongzi, which is adorable, since he is a big boy to everyone else. His family calls him Xichen and other people call him Zewu-Jun.

Farewell and Fuck You

The three Jiang kids come to say goodbye.

Lan Quiren says goodbye with a heap of criticism for Wei Wuxian and the horse he rode in on, and Jiang Fengmian basically says, yep, that’s what he’s like, all right.

Good thing Wei Ying gets so much verbal abuse at home he doesn’t take it very hard when he finds it in the field.

Wangji doesn’t say goodbye properly, which will be a recurring theme for the two of them.

I don’t know if this is because he has a problem with goodbyes, or is just being a jerk, or because he’s so bad at lying he doesn’t dare talk to Wei Wuxian lest he reveal his travel plans.

Indulgent Dad Continues to be the Worst

Jiang Cheng complains at Wei Wuxian for wanting to say goodbye to Lan Wangji, and WWX says he likes him because he is equal to WWX in fighting, whereas JC sucks. JC hits him tries to hit him--gosh, he DOES suck, comparatively.

Yanli, who has been keeping these boys in line all summer, sighs deeply at her Dad’s tolerance for their hijinks. OP has five brothers and this sibling-hijinks behavior is 100% accurate, except for the part where it is happening at someone else’s house in front of the hosts.

WWX pretending to be Lan Qiren where Lan Wangji can see him doing it, in front of Lan Qiren’s colleague and supposed friend, and just earning a laugh from the patriarch? Good lord. Dad Jiang tolerating this is shocking, particularly in the in-show culture where corporal punishment is as common as tea.

We’ve tried Nothing, and we’re all out of ideas!

Uggghh why are you like this?

Here in the real world, OP uses “positive discipline” with her child, and encourages other parents to consider it, particularly if your child is neuroatypical or asynchronous. That said, JF should be punishing the crap out of both boys for this behavior every time it happens, or should quit being a clan leader. He’s relying on Jiang Yanli to keep them in line while he gets to just be amused by them. And he’s letting Lan Qiren discipline Wei Wuxian instead of doing it himself. He suuuuuuucks.

Lan Wangji watches all of this. Lan Xichen reminds Lan Wangji that without Wei Wuxian, he’s completely fucking miserable. Lan Wangji still doesn’t plan to bring him along on his trip, though.

Time to return to our lives of crushing loneliness

Rabbits

At this same moment when Lan Wangji is staring down the barrel of future loneliness, Wei Wuxian is already deciding to leave the (forbidden) rabbits in Cloud Recesses “In case Lan Zhan gets lonely.” This small decision by Wei Wuxian - breaking the rules of Cloud Recesses for the millionth time - is kinder than he knows. Because what is the job of these rabbits? Let’s have a desaturated flashback.

Lan Zhan spent 3 years in the ice cave. The rabbits kept Lan Yi company in the ice cave. So...did the rabbits sneak in to keep Lan Wangji company in the ice cave as well? I’m going to say yes. By ep 43 they are following him to the gate of Cloud Recesses so they are very attached to him. Well done, Wei Ying.

Where my bitches at? Seriously, our warren needs bitches

(Is Watership Down still a thing people read? If not, just go ahead and assume all of OP’s rabbit jokes are about Watership Down because OP ain’t going to stop making them)

While Wei Wuxian annoys the bunny he has a flashback to the scene that happened 4 minutes earlier. The Untamed editors assume the viewership has the attention span of a goldfish, and I personally appreciate that they understand me so well.

Wei Wuxian figures out that Lan Wangji is going on the road alone, and tells the bunny immediately. The bunny is very concerned.

Writing Prompt: What do next-generation cultivators Lan Sizhui and Lan Jingyi wish for at lantern-lighting time?

Thoughts on Street Dance of China 4 episode 2

(Aka Fishy is screencapping shows again. I’m screencapping straight from Youtube so sorry for the shoddy cut off screencaps but blame Youtube for having their player bar cover the video. I’ve never understood that because it’s always in the way.)

(Also Episode 2 part 1 is really just “How many times can Han Geng and Henry hug” and the answer is “as many times as they want”)

- Not really sure why Henry chose Anissa and Tuzi for the 2 vs. 2 battle, especially since Anissa was really not confident about it :( I felt really bad for Anissa because she seemed super nervous!!!!! I just hope that she doesn’t lose enthusiasm and that she can continue to enjoy the rest of the competition v.v

- Kelo and Uwa were extremely impressive though. Like, the way they move together is so awesome and cool.

- Among the dancers, Xiao Jie is actually really good at speaking. No wonder he gets interviewed a lot, because he’s able to describe the dancers to us layfolk, but he is also very smiley and entertaining.

- How dare Yixing be this cute 😤😤😤 He’s definitely far more relaxed when he’s just a spectator, that’s for sure. He was laughing at all the jokes and awkward moments and generally so much more animated when just part of the sidelines.

- Henry covering his mouth because he was enjoying Xiaohai’s performance was pretty cute too, not gonna lie.

- I liked San’er from episode 1, so I was cheering for him when he participated in the 3 vs. 3 battle lol. But it was really interesting to hear the conversation when Wang Yibo asked his team why San’er lost the battle. Ye Yin and Liangliang told him that to the judges who are old school, they care less for explosiveness, and more for actual skill, and while San’er’s performance might’ve looked really exciting to the average viewer, that’s not what the old school judges look for.

- So apparently Lil Kev plays a lot of mind games, and we saw that during his battle against Bozi. So he’s like...the Brad Marchand of breaking lol.

- Are...are we gonna comment on this hug between Poppin’C and Xiaohai? Lmao

- What are they being so cute for. (Also don’t @ me but Bunta is....really cute)

- Is it just me, or did we get fewer behind-the-scenes practice clips this time for Han Geng vs. Henry compared to Yixing vs. Yibo? Particularly for the 5 vs. 5 battle.

- Dimple alert. (Sorry I know this is a Han Geng vs. Henry battle but Yixing just looks so freaking cute today)

- Han Geng.....has a really soft and gentle voice (it is simping hours up in the fishy house okay). He speaks particularly quietly during his one-person interviews and his voice is so pleasant to listen to in those clips.

- Henry was talking about how he wanted to do that move with Poppin’C where they’d lean back on each other’s knees and do a wave with their arms. For some reason that move struck me as something that was very Henry like. He just strikes me as the kind of guy who uses a lot of waves and smooth-looking moves in his dances.

- Also lol @ Henry being “non fatigue!” That Ontario French curriculum at work.

- Han Geng and Henry trash talking each other except it just turns into a walk down memory lane about how Han Geng used to take care of Henry.

- Don’t even act surprised, y’all knew I was going to screenshot this.

- Kitty is amused.

- Of course Han Geng would end his routine with a big ol’ hug. What a huge softie.

- I did think that Han Geng and Xiaohai were kind of a rough duo because even if they were in sync, it was hard to tell because of the height difference. Actually, I spent a lot more time focusing on Han Geng, especially towards the end when the rest of the team crowded around them and he was visibly one of the taller ones.

- Henry’s move where he stood on Poppin’C’s thighs was super cool!! His performance was just super fun to watch. I felt like I was having a good time along with them haha.

- Please sir, may I have more hugs?

- I think Han Geng and Xiaohai’s second performance was better because it relied less on being in sync performing the same actions. However, at this point, Poppin’C and Henry have kind of created a specific brand (TM) for themselves, like they are so uniquely charming to watch, so they have firmly won me over Han Geng and Xiaohai’s team.

- Running into a hug? Are you kidding me, Lau Hin-wah???

- More

- Not only is this show cashing in on the Suju/Suju M fans, it is definitely going to pull in new fans with the Han Geng/Henry ship lol.

- Yixing spinning to get up.

- It is just so goddamn natural for them to be so close to each other. Also Han Geng said that his waist is feeling iffy from that popping ^^;; Old man joints

- Lifting Han Geng’s shirt to look at his patch...

- One of the dancers on Han Geng’s team was crying because he made a mistake in the 5 vs. 5 battle and Han Geng is like why are you crying? And gave him a playful slap on the shoulder.

- Why is that the ads done by the dancer contestants are so much more entertaining than the professional ads (the ads with mainstream celebrities or with professional actors).

- Henry’s written the pinyin on top of the Chinese names of his team members. Better safe than sorry, you know?

- Lmao how dare they bully Tengzai and Shitou by making them talk XD

- I think that when Henry assigns his team members to certain battles, he is thinking more about the combination of styles, rather than the skill level or synchronization. When he assigned Anissa and Tuzi to the 2 vs. 2 battle, he wanted to try out the East vs. West approach, but the opposing duo of Kelo and Uwa had a lot more history together and were obviously better as a collective unit. When it came to Chen Mo and Waiwai, he was interested in seeing a waacking duo. In theory I think I know what Henry was trying to imagine, but I think it is difficult to have a really intense waacking duo because it’d be hard to synchronize very high speed arm movements. In the end, they went with some moves that were simpler, and I think that’s why they lost out to Tengzai and Shitou. That being said, Henry did win his first battle against Han Geng. I think it’s just the 2 vs 2 battles that are his weakness. The 3 vs. 3 battles are really just individual battles, and the 5 vs. 5 battles are usually made up of dancers who are used to routine group dances as opposed to solo or duo dancers.

- A quick word about the judge Icee. His name in Chinese is 王冰冰. The 冰冰 part is self explanatory enough (冰 means ice), so where does the 王 come from? I read somewhere (I forgot where), but apparently his wife’s surname is 王, so he just took on her surname for his Chinese name. Don’t know how true that is, but I think that’s cute.

- So often I see Bunta and Ibuki having fun and cheering on other people, whether it’s their own team members or dancers on other teams.

- Less than a second flashback of Zitao from a previous season v.v Please producers...let us have a LayTao reunion....please....I beg....

- The 5 vs. 5 battle between Yixing and Henry’s teams was pretty fun to watch, probably because the song was so hype lol.

- The leader battles between Yixing and Henry were really entertaining too though.

- The first piece of music for Henry and Yixing’s leader battles was very very cool. Like, it was just a nice piece of music to listen to, and I think that the kind of music it was gave way to rather creative interpretations. Henry and Han Yu went for a more story-based approach, whereas Yixing and MT Pop focused more on an aesthetic. I preferred Yixing and MT Pop’s performance here.

- Henry and Han Yu also had a pretty solid performance for the second song. As for Mingming and Gumball, they didn’t really perform “together,” because they were both doing their own thing, but their individual performances were interesting. (Also let us acknowledge, nothing gets Yixing turnt like KRUMP XD He was so into the performance haha)

- I was so caught up in the euphoria of Henry/Han Geng that I forgot that Henry and Yixing also had a past history, but I think their friendship probably mostly existed off screen. They were from different groups after all, but we also know how low key Yixing has always been. Even if they were bffs we never would’ve known. I also remember on Back to Field, Yixing said that Henry helped him install and set up his music software, so they probably have some kind of rapport on the music side. But yeah, it just seemed like Yixing was rather formal about it all, calling Henry his 哥哥/前輩. And Henry seemed to look at Yixing like his son lol. He was like oh look at Yixing and how far he’s come, etc.

- Xiao Jie said that he’d battled Hilty & Bosch 14 years ago, which means that Xiao Jie isn’t that young, which may be why he’s so chill lmao. Anyway, Xiao Jie is a very entertaining dancer to watch, and he worked well with Shen Zihao. But of course, HB are formidable themselves as well and their chemistry is just too too good. And they’re just incredibly clean dancers.

- Yibo went over to Han Geng to scope out who he was going to send out for their battle. Xiao Jie tried to warn Han Geng about this but he was too late and Yibo already made his attack. But the entire interaction between Yibo and Han Geng was so lols because it was so strange lmao. Yibo was straight up like “who are you going to send out during the battle?” And Han Geng kept thinking that Yibo was trying to play mind games and use that to gleam other information from him. So Han Geng’s answer ended up being really confusing too, he was like “if that’s what you’ve decided I’ll follow your lead.” The thing about Han Geng is that he is too senior for Yibo to clown on, so he is actually being serious, and Han Geng is trying to keep things light haha. (I think Yibo would totally be his normal gremlin self to Yixing and Henry, but Han Geng is like the next tier up from them both.)

- LMAO Aki-san calling out Tony-san for being older than him XD And Tony Gogo was like what have I ever done to you??? I love Aki-san hahahaha.

- Okay Aki-san vs. Nelson was pretty awesome, but SO WAS BORIS vs. ZYKO???? Holy crap that was sooo much fun to watch because like....human bodies can bend that way? And Boris and Zyko aren’t small guys, so it was insanely awesome to watch.

- Side note, Boris’ Mandarin is pretty good. I looked him up and on his Instagram he says he lives in Shanghai, so it makes sense that his Chinese is good enough for everyday communication. In one part of the show he was instruction Yibo on dancing and like, he was not stuttering at all.

- Wait, Han Geng says that he’s known Yibo for 10 years :o So I just looked him up and it turns out Han Geng has been with Yuehua Entertainment since 2010, so I think the math makes sense. Wow, how time flies. He always such a dad though, he’s always like, the top priority is fun and happiness!!! And honestly, he’s right. Like, what is this show if not just a huge dance showcase more than an actual competition?

- Physically impossible for Han Geng not to hug his didis.

- I love that in a dance party full of dancers, some will still choose to slow dance like this.

- Of course Henry will come and praise his gege. (ft. Nelson in the right lol)

- Yo I love Rochka. He’s one of the chillest guys there.

- The kids’ performance was cute :3 Their little jumpsuits uwu

- Also one of the kids was Shitou’s daughter and it was absolutely hilarious how he still introduces her in the most monotonous and neutral voice and he was like “please give her some encouragement” in the most low energy voice ever XD The b-boying kids were super legit though. Oh and apparently Xiao Jie’s son was one of the dancers too :3 Somebody was like “yo Xiao Jie isn’t that your son?” and he was like “lol yeah.” XD Aren’t they cute?

Actor, Shen Xiaohai 沈晓海

Tao Zui 陶醉, a bamboo spirit in drama Liao Zhai: The Flower Spirit 花姑子

A yao but a protaganist (usually yao aka spirits/demons are evil in Chinese stories)

Fu Yüshu 傅玉书, the young master of evil sect Xiaoyao Valley and leader of the righteous Taoist sect Chongzhen Sect, in drama New Reincarnation 金蚕丝雨

A taoist that looks like and behaves like a fox spirit; the antagonist of the drama

Shen Xiaohai's acting is so good you can put any of his two characters together (even cameos) and they will all feel like a different and independent person that actually exists in this world.

I love seeing your pre-gen fancasts/names! ♥ I have a question though about the Jins; I recognize *looks up names* a younger Hu Xiaoting as Madam Jin but is that a young Shen Xiaohai as JGS or someone else? o.O (Hopefully this doesn't come across as all-Asians-look-the-same!racist because actors can look really different in and out of costume or at different ages. I mean, take Huang Ziteng for example; he's s u p e r hot when he's not playing LQR.)

Hi! No, they’re totally different actors/actress XD. I don’t think i’d be able to lift young madam jin/jgs clips from older shows because the quality of the clips wouldn’t be as good.

My young madam jin is actress Zhang Xueying (张雪迎, or Sophie Zhang) from Princess Silver. My jgs is actor Lin Gengxin from Legend of Chuqiao.

(Don’t worry I’m actually incredibly face blind. It takes me forever to get to know a face. LOL.)

Sinopse:

O mundo da cultivação é governado pela poderosa seita Wen, que domina as seitas menores GusuLan, YunmengJiang, QingheNie e LanlingJin. O despreocupado Wei WuXian torna-se rapidamente amigo do justo Lan WangJi e, durante suas aventuras, os dois descobrem que o líder do clã Wen é o gênio do mal por trás de uma série de tramas que destruiriam as terras.

As tentativas de Wei WuXian de proteger os membros inocentes do clã Wen da perseguição injusta levam ao desastre, e ele desaparece no processo. Dezesseis anos depois, Wei WuXian reaparece e trabalha em conjunto com o bom amigo Lan WangJi para resolver uma série de mistériosos assassinatos, eventualmente encontrando e derrotando o verdadeiro culpado.

Personagens:

Wei Wuxian/ Wei Ying (Xiao Zhan)

Um jovem muito alegre e atentado que é muito bom nas artes marciais, não para de falar um segundo sequer, é muito inteligente, corajoso e excelente estrategista, se preocupa muito com todos ao seu redor e não mede esforços para ajudar aqueles que ama. Apesar de sorrir quase o tempo todo, ele guarda todos os seus problemas e preocupações para si mesmo.

Bebe para afogar as mágoas, bebe quando está feliz, bebe quando está com raiva, bebe quando está preocupado, qualquer ocasião pode ser desculpa para beber algo como o “sorriso do imperador”.

Opiniões e comentários:

Baseado na novel “Mo Dao Zu Shi” de Mo Xiang Tong Xiu, o enredo teve uma base sólida e não deixou a desejar quando o assunto foi incorporar a história, as ambientações (seja por CGI ou o próprio set de filmagem) foram extremamente fiéis a obra e muito bonitas por sinal, além disso, deve-se dar um grande aplauso a quem quer que seja a estilista/figurinista, pois todas as roupas eram ricas em detalhes e muito bonitas. Como no drama muitas vezes as armas eram descritas detalhadamente fiquei muito ansiosa para saber como eram na vida real e me supreendeu serem exatamente como na descrição, a Bichen de Lan Wangji, a ChenQing de Wuxian e a Baxia de Nie Mingjue continuam sendo minhas armas favoritas.

Desde que é uma adaptação houveram mudanças, seja devido a censura do país ou da vontade do diretor mesmo, na verdade eu gostei bastante de certas mudanças, como Wen Qing e Wen Ning terem ido participar da leitura da seita GusuLan e uma maior quantidade de cenas para a YanLi, porém houveram mudanças que ao meu ver foram um tanto quanto desnecessárias como a alteração da personalidade sárcastica e forte da Wen Qing para uma mais flexível e frágil, enfim não se pode ter tudo.

“Quem é forte e quem é fraco? O que é preto e o que é branco? Quem está certo e quem está errado? Quem é bom e quem é mau?” – Wei Wuxian e Lan Wangji.

Bem....nós não temos a resposta e provavelmente nunca haverá uma, como no trecho da música tema de Wei Wuxian cantada por Xiao Zhan “as centenas de pessoas que você conheceu em sua vida têm seu próprio lado e história”, ou seja, separar as coisas de forma tão grosseira e em dois extremos não vai trazer a verdade e sim começar julgamentos erroneos e rumores infundados, como pode-se perceber ao longo do drama.

Todos os personagens da trama são extremamente complexos, tendo seus lados bons e ruins, não podendo ser classificados em heróis e vilões. Irei comentar sobre os quatro que ao meu ver são os mais complicados de decifrar.

Começaremos por aquele pelo qual por muito tempo torcemos e que tempo depois nos deixou chocados e desacreditados, este é Jin GuangYao. Do desprezo e indiferença á gloria e poder, essa é a história de alguém que sempre mostrou gentileza e tentou agradar a todos em vão, enquanto o ódio e ressentimento cresciam cada vez mais em seu coração. GuangYao sempre foi extremamente inteligente e nunca demonstrou seus verdadeiros sentimentos, sempre colocando um sorriso desconfortável no rosto. Para ele, seus feitos nunca foram coisas ruins, pois ele só estava retribuindo o que as pessoas o deram, e se isso foi ódio, então que seja.

O chacoalha cabeça, aquele que não sabe de nada, Nie Huaisang. Aqui vem ele, a caixinha de surpresas, não usava seu sabre e não se importava em aprender, mas se tornou o mestre por trás de jogadas traiçoeiras. Apesar do medo que sentia do irmão (Afinal quem não sentiria?) ele ainda o amava, então quando ele foi morto e Huaisang ficou sozinho para liderar uma seita, seu único pensamento era a vingança.

Jiang Cheng é alguém que tem muitas inseguranças e isso só se agravou ao desenrolar do drama, tornando-o uma pessoa extremamente orgulhosa e egoísta. Ele sempre se sentiu inferior a Wei Wuxian pelo fato de que o mesmo sempre se destacou nas artes marciais e se encaixava melhor no lema da seita YunmengJiang “Tentar o impossível”, mesmo seu pai parecia achar o mesmo e como sua mãe NUNCA fez nada além de botar na cabeça dele que deveria ser melhor que Wuxian e jamais ser comparado com ninguém, tudo ficou pior. Além disso, ele teve que reconstruir a seita sozinho e lidar com as perdas sem ter ninguém em que pudesse se apoiar.

Por fim, aquele pelo qual jamais saberei o que sentir, XueYang. Sabemos sua história triste mas que jamais justificaria tudo o que fez, ainda assim, na cidade de Yi, ele teve uma nova oportunidade, a de ser cuidado e amado, mas acabou com tudo com suas próprias mãos e quando percebeu já era tarde demais, pois a morte, a vingança e a crueldade eram tudo o que conhecia, algo como bondade e carinho eram somente uma ilusão distante e distorcida. Nós o vimos sucumbir a loucura com os sentimentos bagunçados após a morte de Xingchen, quando ele se deu conta de seus erros e de como ele destruiu sua própria felicidade, depois disso ele continuou nadando num poço de raiva e arrependimento.

Trecho da música Lone city cantada por Sun Bolun e Chen Zhuoxuan “Os dias juntos são tão doces quanto doces, mas o destino foi cruelmente mal colocado”

Como eu li a novel posso dizer com certeza que essa adaptação é extremamente fiel e que todos os atores fizeram um ótimo trabalho em dar vida aos personagens. Destaco Wang Yibo que fez o papel de Lan Wangji, entre todos ele é definitivamente o mais complicado, desde que tem poucas falas e tudo se concentra na sua expressão facial, seria muito fácil arruinar o personagem pela dificuldade que há em interpretá-lo, mas Yibo fez um trabalho incrível, trazendo as emoções de Hanguang Jun gradualmente com uma leve flutuação de olhares ou uma expressão breve. Mas claro, como a essência do personagem é que apenas seu irmão o entenda, ás vezes, nos pegamos voltando a cena pra ver se algo mudou mas obviamente não, já que só Lan Xichen pode ver através dele.

Além dele, Xiao Zhan também foi incrível interpretando Wei Wuxian, enquanto Wangji quase não fala, Wuxian simplesmente não consegue parar de falar por um segundo sequer e tem diversas expressões, sendo seu sorriso característico do personagem. Desde o jovem brincalhão e devasso até a fase do nefasto “Patriarca Yiling”, a atuação foi impecável e mostrou as mudanças em sua personalidade, tanto na fala quanto no olhar, enfim, ele praticamente encarnou o personagem de uma forma que não dá pra imaginar nenhuma outra pessoa no papel.

Falando sobre Wei Wuxian e Lan Wangji, que bela e complicada história de amor eles tem, fico triste só de pensar que o Hanguang Jun tocou Inquérito por 16 anos e nunca recebeu uma resposta. Óbvio que por conta da censura não há cenas de beijo ou algo mais como na novel, mas os olhares trocados e as conversas tidas foram o suficiente para nos fazer se apaixonar pelo amor dos dois, a preocupação e carinho um com o outro, arrancavam tanto sorrisos quanto lágrimas, mas a verdade absoluta é que cada momento foi precioso e necessário.

Concluindo, essa se tornou a minha história favorita de todos os tempos e eu não vou conseguir superar tão cedo. Entre as cenas Wangxian que mais gostei estão a da caverna xuanwu, a da ponte, a das “almas gêmeas” e a cena dos dois fugindo de LanLingJin quando Wangji disse que ficaria ao lado dele. Talvez vocês achem estranho mas eu achei tão linda a cena da morte do Wuxian, talvez tenha sido o contraste do vermelho e preto hahaha. Quanto mais eu penso sobre o drama mais que eu quero escrever, mas sinto que vou acabar contando a história toda se continuar hahaha espero que vocês embarquem nessa jornada fantástica de luta, amor, amizade, poder e vingança.

OST’s favoritas:

Antes de tudo, é importante destacar que todas as músicas contam a história de determinado personagem, ou mesmo de dois deles, sinceramente, eu fui mais sensibilizada e entendi mais o Xue Yang por conta da música.

WUJI – Xiao Zhan ft. Wang Yibo

Lonely City - Sun Bolun ft. Chen Zhuoxuan

Bu Wang – Wang Yibo

Qu Jin Chen Qing – Xiao Zhan

Huang Chen Du – Zhou Shen

Yi Nan Ping – Yi Ling
