@innsight: I'm still afraid now that there won't be a throw-in(( and then the trailer for episode 5 is written, but take it and find yourself in episode 8🤣🤣 this is the oblomingo bird then it will be
You're calling me Girls)) I reminded you how a strange woman used to walk around our neighborhood and come up every day with the same question - Girl, do you have 5 rubles?! If there is, come on.
As for the kiss in this series, it's sure to be more intimate than the "cupcake" in many other lacorns and dramas. The characters didn't actually have close physical contact here, but it felt like they couldn't be closer... anyway, we're waiting.
@Ayana85: If it's unpleasant, I apologize. I have an old friend who used to constantly talk about curious situations.:Deukii - take off your headscarves. Since then, I've been left with the feeling that if something is out of the ordinary, then girls, I'm not talking about swimming trunks)))
Nice to meet you)) to be a girl)) And a girl, too)) Name it))
I wanted to answer right away yesterday, but the Internet was covered. I've already lost the habit of this over the winter... All summer and almost all autumn, there was no Internet from 00 o'clock to 05 o'clock in the morning almost every night. Well, at least in my area of the railway and in the center, in the residential areas I know from friends. Now spring has begun and there is night, there is no night...It alternates, but only before 7 a.m. Now I checked, even at 6:59 it wasn't there, they turned it on at exactly 7. Hopefully it won't be every night.
@vera24: I apologize for the importunity, the desire does not let go of the request to voice it all the same, to ask under the spoiler to remove the upcoming events. I apologize in advance for the suggestion, which may be inappropriate. I understand, I probably shouldn't have come in the day before the broadcast, since the episode hasn't been released yet, I just had an uneasy feeling, they could cancel the show, reschedule the episode, post the information, it happened. I hope it didn't look annoying, I understand, maybe I'm not thinking correctly somehow, because the preview belongs here, because the feeling is twofold, it's natural to find out in advance, because the preview is for this. Probably, I just want to catch the effect of surprise while watching, without knowing in advance what awaits in the series. I'm sorry, once again, honestly, I feel like I'm intruding, unnecessarily disturbing, but otherwise it doesn't work, the desire arose to voice the request, to hide it under the spoiler. If it's not too much trouble, it's done, I certainly don't insist, if there's no desire to bother, I understand everything and then I'll just be more careful.
@dib_exo: It's okay, I just didn't think to be honest)) I'm so excited about the expectation that there's jelly in my head. I apologize if I ruined the wait.
Everyone is different)) I love spoilers)) I initially paid attention to this discussion platform, because I realized that people here would spoiler the series even before I watched it. It was later that I got into the discussions of the series themselves, some brilliant comments, and I didn't read them for a long time. But I respect the opinion of those who don'T need spoilers.
I haven't really figured out the interface yet. How do I put a sign on my phone when I write that the review contains a spoiler? Where to click?
@vera24: I understand, however, I'm overwhelmed with emotions, but to do this, it was so easy to warm up interest, we didn't match up at all. Thank you so much for your understanding, I really appreciate it!
@Ayana85: You're right, I agree, there are many people, opinions vary, and everyone has their own attitude to spoilers. This is the first time I have met just in advance of the events in the discussion series, how long I have already existed here, this is my first experience, hence my surprise, I assume. After all, the thought did not arise to treat the tape with caution. I do not impose myself with my position, I understand everything, the thought has been maturing for a long time whether to write, whether it is appropriate to ask for a note. To hide the text symbol |, you need to put two such sticks, before and after, the hidden text will turn out spoiler
The toolbar for working with text layout features is opened/closed using the Aa button, both in the web version and in the mobile version. There is an information i button next to it, which will take you to a page with help on marking up text in comments. The functionality has been around for a year now.
@innsight: Damn, there could have been just 500 GIFs... this scene is so gorgeous.
I would love to note the moment when Chu San put a pillow under Luyi's head to make him more comfortable, or when Luyi takes Chu San's hand and puts it on his waist.…
And this moment that you have saved for posterity is so beautiful.:
— Chu San, do you like sweets so much? —No," I said.
@HaiLouYin: Yeah, beautiful GIFs would be here to remember you by. I'm reviewing it for the umpteenth time. I wish it was a dream. But it's a beautiful dream.
@HaiLouYin: I don't know which discussion thread to write to. But I can't keep it in my head anymore. In the kissing scene, I really liked Louis's slightly parted lips when he was lying on the pillow. It looks so divinely sensual. And the glare of the light plays on the lips...
@sirynguy: Yeah, every detail in this scene is saturated with emotions. I was also hooked by the expectant eye contact in the pauses between kisses... there's so much quiet tension and tenderness between them at that moment. I think I even forgot to breathe, so as not to scare off this fragile atmosphere.
I never tire of admiring this approach, when every movement is calibrated, and the feeling is assembled from semitones: from how the light glides and where it ends in shadow. 🤌🏼
@HaiLouYin: Damn, I died too, because the Internet decided that I didn't need a cart!!!!!! I didn't watch the episode🤬🤬🤬🤬Did Chu San have a kiss or something? I got a series at the moment of washing the blanket. 😪😪
@innsight: Sooooo, I somehow didn't catch the moment that he realized it was a dream ((( and I can't review it!!Ahhhhh!!!I'm currently without Wi-Fi and nothing is shipping.
Okay, I'll move on to the acceptance stage, which I'll look at tomorrow, and the comments will be added at the same time)))
@vera24: from the soaked underwear, Chusan actually realized that it was a wet dream. He just dreamed that, like in the drama, he landed on the lips of a hot handsome man, and in real life, Lucy just took a bite of candy in time. 😁
@vera24: In my real world, they already know that I am unavailable for any form of communication on Fridays. Otherwise, I'll definitely hurt someone. 😁
Cats are allowed at most, but even they go out the door if they demand attention too much.
@HaiLouYin: Do you work as a detective?? If not, then it's just yours. You'll catch all the criminals with such observation. To be honest, it wasn't until I started reading your comments that I started watching doramas and lacorns more meaningfully, before I didn't think I understood half the meaning they were trying to convey to us. It was an impetus for me when you focused on Chi Chen's watch when he came to the clinic, and how much was on it after the cupcake. I've seen it all too damn well, but I still don't have a puzzle. And then I read you, and I'm like, oh, right. And then I read about other lacorns, oh, right!!! Thank you for being there))
@vera24: I'm just too inquisitive 😌 And if I turn on something, then I'm stuck in the screen. Doublescrolling is not my thing So I start to fish out the details, especially if the direction is good, where usually all the fun is hidden in the little things.
So if it happens to be useful, then I'm only glad. 💚
By the way, when I was reviewing revenged love for some reason, I noticed a beautiful:
In the scene where So Wei suspects Chi Cheng of cheating, he then carefully covers him with a blanket... the one that previously lay on the floor like a carpet. I hope it's been washed at least occasionally. 🫠
@HaiLouYin: I've reviewed it more than once, but I didn't notice that this carpet turned into a plaid with a "light movement of my hands."
But, I like the atmosphere in this house. It's hot for me there, like in a greenhouse. It's rare to come across movies/TV series where you feel like you're in a 4d cinema, where you can smell, moisture, smoke, and wind...
@innsight: Yeah, I agree… here the hands themselves reach out to review
And I usually don't do that, it's boring to revisit the same plot. And then I was happy to go through this story for the second time. I can count such cases on my fingers, and half of them, by the way, are from China.
In the first scene, I thought, what a ridiculous snow leopard, I need one, and then I noticed how So Wei brought it.
And I also felt this state in Chi Cheng's house, as if I was sitting there in this stuffy place.
By the way, there's also a visual: Chi Cheng's stained-glass windows combine green and red. Just like himself, who is more of a red flag at the beginning, but gradually it becomes clear that he is one of the most beautiful men in the world.
@HaiLouYin: It's probably one of the best scenes I've ever seen. The romantic haze doesn't knock it down here, it even looks organic, honestly, it's annoying in some cases, the romantic filter, why I don't know, the feeling is simple, not here, in other series, the reception looks like this, not always, but often there is a feeling of alienness. I don't know how to explain it here, but maybe a dream sets the tone.
@dib_exo: The perception of a scene is strongly influenced by directing. Here, the play of light, shadow and glare does not knock you out of immersion, because it has a source — a fallen projector.
Plus, the space itself sets the tone in advance: the diffused light of the garlands already creates the right atmosphere. As a result, the world seems to build this romantic haze by itself, and the characters just find themselves inside it and succumb to it.
When a scene is introduced so naturally and just as neatly removed from it, there is no feeling that it was done for the sake of effect.
And the plot really captures this softness: the light of the projector passing through the curtain, which sways in the wind, as if it stretches this feeling further, turning what is happening into a dream of Chu San. Beautiful and a little elusive
When everything fits together so seamlessly, romantic post-processing is no longer perceived as something alien. 😌
@HaiLouYin: I agree, the truth is, the world pushed me, even if it happened in a dream, naturally, without falsehood, there is no excessive drama. Since I'm writing anyway, I'll probably note that it seems that the thought continues about He Chu San's house, about the fortress inside Ganlong, about a separate world, if, of course, I understand the thought correctly
@dib_exo: Yes, there is such a thing, I myself mentally returned to these arguments while watching the scene on the roof.
Previously, I used to read the feeling of a "fortress inside a fortress city" at the atmospheric level, but here it also takes on a visual form.
Chu San's house glows in the midst of a sleeping, heavy neighborhood as if it doesn't belong to him at all.
It's like a separate, isolated space, inside which there are lights, garlands and warm family noise. there are silly jokes, the "Godfather" on a white sheet, the flirtation of the doctor and Jie Fei, the laughter of Liu and Chu San himself, and all this is adjacent to the area drowned in semi-darkness.
After all, even if you belong to a place that was once separated from Hong Kong so that its darkness would not spread further, this does not mean that you should merge with this darkness.
And in my eyes, Chu San's house becomes a "fortress" not as isolation, but as a place where you can be safe, where you can forget about a world in which there is more darkness than light for at least one evening.
"Xia Liushi, you're so happy today—I'm in a place where I feel safe, and that makes me so happy." "then you can stay here forever."
And in my eyes, this garland ceases to be just a festive decoration, it becomes something like the wall of this "fortress", albeit illusory.
@HaiLouYin: By the way, I forgot to mention that you chose a great moment for the gif. I'm talking about the one where it's not entirely clear what's going on.
And thanks to @Ayana85, I can't get it out of my head that Chu San is on top. I usually don't pay attention to this at all, but now I'm constantly having these thoughts when watching.
@HaiLouYin: Yes yes. Exactly. I'm trying to protect myself from the discomfort associated with change. These are my inner barriers, which if I have to overcome, then I feel heavy, almost like Shu Lan when he gave himself up to passion, abandoning his habits of judiciously analyzing everything.
@innsight: But at least you were warned in advance, there is time to mentally prepare yourself. Hopefully, over time, you will settle down and be able to enjoy watching again calmly.
But in my case, such dynamics seem rather familiar. Apparently, it's all the Manx/Manhua's fault, where for every harsh man with a dark past, there is a sweet, kind boy from whom you don't expect such zeal at all until history puts everything in its place. And they also draw such charming people that it's impossible to get enough of them.
@HaiLouYin: Well no. That's not the point. In general, I usually don't pay attention to who is on top and who is on the bottom. I look at myself calmly, then if they show sex, then: "Oh, okay, you're on top!"
And then it didn't come to intimacy yet, and I keep thinking that Chu San is a man with a strong character, a solid inner core. And I compare him to Lucy, who is very soft and gentle, at least in his feelings and thoughts. No matter how he hides behind his menacing gangster appearance, he is fragile and touching with people close to him. And my thoughts are racing which one of them is stronger in character. Although it didn't bother me much before. Everyone can be weaker or stronger at certain points...
Oh, I don't know how to express my thoughts properly. I recently spent two hours explaining to a friend that one drama is a spin-off to another. The skis were not moving...
For me, they are also both equal in energy: they combine both softness and hardness, depending on the situation. At such moments, I just think about the existence of universal Who knows, maybe they switch to their mood altogether, but they don't tell us about such subtleties.
This drama was able to distinguish itself even here, since it led to such arguments that the brain had not previously paid attention to.😌
@innsight: yes, it's already clear who's where, we were subtly hinted at in previous episodes. Who likes to look at peaches, and who doesn't set foot through the back door
@innsight: I agree, you can also use your imagination here, if necessary. And so the main thing is to live happily ever after, and we didn't have to crack glass in the final because of them. 🤞🏻
It's not that it really matters to me who's on top and who's on the bottom, but it just looks weird... although many people like the humble guy/asset.
Often, readers of fanfiction, for example, generally welcome a NON-fixed layout ... considering that it can be clearly fixed from day to day for years...It's just that the passive doesn'T have enough health. We need to change and sometimes we both need to rest on some days. That's probably how it happens in real life...
Sunflowers are flowers that I often give to my loved ones myself, because the meaning they contain is close to me.
It is one of the quietest and at the same time expressive symbols in the visual language. They have a sense of warmth, simplicity, and an almost intuitive attraction.
The sunflower always reaches out to the sun, turns behind it, chooses one point to which it wants to orient itself. This is his natural nature, and there is sincerity in it.
And the bouquet of sunflowers here becomes a reflection of Xia Liui's inner state.
He's not fully aware of his feelings yet, but he's already attracted to Chu San. He's calm, warm, and safe next to him, and that's enough to choose a direction without even calling it love.
Xia Liushi is like that sunflower here. He does not analyze, does not resist, does not ask unnecessary questions. He just goes where the light is. And in this dynamic, Chu San becomes a source of warmth that you want to return to again and again.
And, of course, there is not only the present, but also a movement forward: Xia Liushi cannot let go of the idea of making Chu San a part of her life, even if he desperately resists.
Sunflowers leave a space for silence between words, for a feeling that already exists, but has not yet received its name.
It's that fragile moment when everything is already there, but it hasn't been said out loud yet. A state where the space for "I love you" has not yet been formed, but there is already a place for "I am attracted to you"
@innsight: Yes, in such an atmosphere, the association itself suggests itself. I also remembered that in Revenged Love, the New Year was celebrated with blooming greenery outside the window. 😅
@HaiLouYin: Yeah, I also thought that the firecrackers would fly into the bushes right now and there would be a fire. I can't help myself, I'm boring in life.
In general, Thailand has already taught us to decorate a monster instead of a Christmas tree for the New Year, China and Taiwan have also been inviting us for the first New Year. Even these gatherings with lots of light bulbs, though without snow, are associated with this holiday.
@innsight: I can only think of two lakornas where I saw a Christmas tree for the New Year, but even so, no one canceled the warmth outside the window. 😁
So yes, you get used to such moments. Thank you for shooting something for us at all... we'll forgive them for the Summer New Year.
Liu Yi didn't make it to the graduation ceremony because he went to the territory of a rival gang and literally fought his way through to bring this bouquet to Chu San.
If it's not romantic, then I'm not sure what it is.
I noticed this Inspector Hua's "star" back in the last episode, but I DIDN'T expect so much time to be devoted to him in this one. Well, nothing is so interesting about him - a perfectionist, the pride of his father, so stupidly drunkenly ran into an ordinary guy in a club...
These are Chu San's dreams... if Xia Liushi found out, he would be flattered 😏 I must be a strange person...But I've never had a dream like this in my entire life...It happened that I dreamed of naked people without any erotic overtones, and it's always a BAD dream - either my throat hurts in the morning, or something else. I dreamed of kisses several times, again without any eroticism, even unpleasant ones. If you dream about this and you're paired up, know that you have the "horns"... Even if it's not straight cheating, but your man has some kind of trouble with someone. And people are dreaming about something!!! ❤️🔥
Chu San is so businesslike in a suit)) But Xia Liui is still more stylish))
@Ayana85: Well, I don't know, I don't know)) I used to dream about it when I was pregnant, you'll rock up)) And now, too, no, you don't look enough, you already jump up at night))) And my husband is panting and can't understand why he got so lucky.🤣🤣🤣
I'll add to this my review of dreams... I already copied it from a scientific article: "The absence of erotic dreams is the absolute norm, not a sign of pathology."
Well, okay)) and then I already thought that something was wrong with me)) I repeat, Even if I rarely dream of a kiss, it never carries erotic overtones in my dreams and it is always a harbinger of trouble in real life. You wake up and it doesn't feel good...
In general, I would like such erotic dreams to be dreamed by Xia Liui, and not by Chu San)) then he would have realized his feelings faster. Although his girlfriend is a fighting crazy sexy madam, she's already telling him off)) I've already explained everything to him that he likes Chu San as a guy, but Xia Liushi pretends that she DOESN'T understand anything))
@Ayana85: In general, you may have had such dreams, but we just don't remember all the dreams. According to scientists, people are able to remember only the first and last dream. That is, in the phase of falling asleep and in the phase of waking up.
If you look among my friends, then most often erotic dreams are dreamed by those who lead an active sex life. That's right, she enjoys it and can't go a day without sex. On the contrary, acquaintances who have been single for a long time do not dream at all. But these are not statistics, they are rather personal conclusions from the people around me.
Actually, I think it's better not to dream than to see. Yes, the dreams are fabulous, tempting. Sometimes they're really scary. But dreams always beckon, and many are waiting for them. But not me. For example, I dream every day. It's a pity they're not like Chu San's. But they are also vivid, like life in a parallel world, with sequels and developments in subsequent dreams. And sometimes it's even better there than here. And it's actually dangerous.
So it's better to live your life in reality. What prevents you from making your desires come true instead of waiting to sleep with them?
@innsight: That's how it is with me. Sometimes, even before going to bed, I almost pray not to see them. If I didn't get much sleep, I can still spend half a day under the burden of sleep. I've read that people with a rich imagination usually have long, storylined, and colorful dreams. So, yes, even in my dreams I keep watching TV shows))
As a child, I had almost nothing but nightmares. As I got older, my dreams became calmer, but also almost always mystical. Then I began to dream that I was a member of the Templar Society and I was captured...But I know that I would never betray the secrets of society. Now, most of the time, I dream of some ancient eastern cities, bazaars... Everyone around me speaks a language I don't know, the heat (which I rarely find in real life). I see books in ancient languages...
Generally NOT up to romance)) In my dreams. And regarding this series, it is necessary to show the dreams of Xia Lui, not just Chu San, for comparison))
@innsight: As I understand you, I also think it's better not to see them. I still have lucid dreams every time, which always start the same way – with the fact that I "wake up" and I know I'm still dreaming, but I have to decide for myself what to do, where to go, how to react to the scenario I'm in. And everything looks and feels very realistic. Sometimes you manage to wake yourself up, but more often you have to "live" there until everything ends by itself. Rare nights without dreams are just a gift from fate
I seem to have digested the main part of the plot and see two potential threats on the head of Chu San and Lu
Of course, Police Inspector Xie Jiahua, to whom justice is the brain, will not rest until he gets to every dark corner in Ganglong.
Of course, Lu Guangming has also appeared, who will try to quietly resolve the situation, but it seems to me that the inspector is not so stupid as not to recognize him as a mole.
Speaking of this couple Lu Guarming naturally approached the inspector for a reason. But I fell out from the detail that Xie Jiahua left him money for the morning.… That's the manners of a guy 😆
And yes, I like that in Chinese dramas they always call a spade a spade and are not afraid to mention the word gay. •••
But the second difficulty may be Chu San's father.
Now he has come to terms with the fact that Dage from Xiaoqi will occasionally brush his teeth at home in the morning... after all, he has a caramel bun in his soul, he just lost his way.
But when the father realizes that the child he has taken into care is ready to connect his life with him, he will definitely not be happy about this outcome.
After all, his mother's last wish was to protect Chu San from the criminal world. Not fulfilling her dying request would be like personally depriving her of the opportunity to rest in peace.
But, of course, Chu San is his mother's true son: he followed in her footsteps and also gave his heart to a gangster.
Although he's not particularly happy about this turn of events right now. It's one thing to stare at a priest, but it's another thing to realize that you're completely screwed.
And besides, Lucy is constantly reaching out to him with her dedication. I'm not sure yet if Chu San knows that he's an adopted child. Whether his father had told him the story of his family, there was definitely more to his act than just his reluctance to enter the criminal world under Xia Liushi's leadership.
The offer itself: "we are brothers for life" is definitely not to his liking, no less than a place in the Xiaoqi gang.
Well, I'm glad that I understood correctly where Sam came from in the name.
Well, that's why Xia Liushi is so fixated on this brotherhood... doesn't Chu San want to be your brother for life 🫠 He's actually aiming for a different status.
@HaiLouYin: About steel balls - that's right to the point! On this stage, I internally shrank into a ball of fear and stopped breathing. But at the same time, I kind of admire Chusan. Because Chusan in the first episode, who was cowering in fear under the table in Liu Yi's office, was afraid of all these people around and did not dare to say an unnecessary word, and Chusan, who so audaciously broke the ceremonial bowl, refused rather sharply in front of the whole gang, and then turned around and proudly left - completely two different people. And it seems to me that it's not just that he became close to Lucy as a friend, and not only in his feelings for him, but also in some newfound inner strength and courage, and probably anger. Anger for his mom, who died because of the gang, anger that Lucy doesn't understand his feelings or his situation yet. And maybe anger at himself to some extent.
@LaFeeTioka: maybe not even out of anger, but because of a promise to my father (stepfather). Most likely, he had been telling him since childhood how bad it was to get along with gangsters. Surely Chu San had to swear to his father more than once that he would fulfill his mother's dying plea.
@LaFeeTioka: For some reason, I'm not sure if Chu San knows the whole truth about his family. Dr. Hae adopted him as a baby and may still not have found the strength to tell the whole story. In the scene where he tried to warn Chu San to stay away from Lü, he touches on this topic very gently, without pressure. Hence the feeling that he is not ready to speak directly yet. Otherwise, it would not have sounded like a hint, but as a clear reminder to stay away from the triads. But these are, of course, rather my guesses based on feelings.
But in any case, Chu San has a tangled, heavy ball of feelings inside, which is difficult for him to untangle. Emotions are already at their limit, and then there are Lucy's guys who come right to the office and take him away in front of everyone. In such a situation, it's easy to get to a point where there's no longer any caution or delicacy... emotions just take over.
Moreover, before meeting with Lucy, he had a very clear idea of the future. He had put in a lot of effort to find his place outside of Ganlong. And there are not only complicated personal feelings between them, but also the boundary of two worlds that one of them will have to cross in order to be together.
And now everything is woven into one knot: his feelings for Lucy, his desire to protect him, and his unshakeable conviction that he does not intend to bind himself to the world of Lucy. But at the same time, his feelings had already taken shape and began to put pressure on him.
@HaiLouYin: I don't think Chu San doesn't know. If even this friend of Lucy's, who is currently doing accounting, knows about Chu San's family, then most likely rumors were spreading in their neighborhood. Take even the chatterboxes who sit on the stairs gossiping. Even if Dad didn't talk, someone did.
But that's also just my guess.
In any case, the reluctance of the ripper seller to dedicate his life to the ripper is understandable even if Chu San had not had such a family tragedy. He knows everything about this gang. The only way out is through evisceration. What was there, three cuts and six holes?
@innsight: It confuses me that Liu Yi didn't know about this, even though he and Cui Dongdong both held an equal position in Xiaoqi when Liu Yi's brother was a dage. But maybe she just had a wider social circle than Lucy.
And at the time of the incident, Lucy was only three years old, you can't remember much, even if it was some kind of big news. He would have survived on his own, and when he was dragged into the criminal world, hardly anyone there would have discussed this tragedy for a long time. It's not like it's any special situation. But among civilians, so to speak, rumors could really spread for a long time: everyone there lives close to each other, Chu San looms before his eyes, it's hard to hide something.
@HaiLouYin: Well, let's see. I hope they will clarify to us who found out what when.
Well, it's possible that Louis heard the story of a bandit who was stabbed to death, but did not betray the fact that he also had a pregnant wife. Rumors, they creep around a lot, like a broken phone. And everyone sees the picture from different angles. One will say that the woman died because of her husband, the other will say that a bandit was stabbed in front of his pregnant wife.
I was amused by the postscript from the translators that the ceremony of joining the gang was also a ceremony of worshiping the bride to her husband's parents. However, the ceremony never took place... And if joining a gang will most likely never take place at all, then the ceremony of worshipping parents will clearly be waiting for us somewhere ahead. And it is very interesting how they will come to this))
In general, it seems that the difference between the worlds of Chusan and Liyu has become even sharper, even more distinct. Chusan's colleagues at work seem to be completely unaware that there are gangs and a completely different world in this city of skyscrapers. It was just very contrasting. And very sharply. Just as abruptly as Chusan's refusal to join a gang, and then his proud walk after that, when everyone around was just speechless. It was as if Chusan's words about the need to keep his distance had materialized. And they scared the hell out of Lucy.
Inspector Xie's one-night stand is definitely a very interesting and unusual fruit. It's very intriguing. Although I even like their slightly cocky and half-open relationship dynamics)) Although Inspector Xie himself makes me nervous. More precisely, he makes me worry about Lü and his future. The inspector obviously won't let go of the gang case just like that, and he'll definitely come out to Leah, and he'll definitely try to catch him and put him in jail. And that's what makes it scary. I understand that bandits are bad, that they do a lot of bad things. But here they are shown in such a way that all this danger seems to fade into the background. Real ordinary people, each with their own difficult story. They just don't know or don't know how to live any other way. They're just raised differently. And for some reason, you sympathize with them, even realizing that they are not growing flowers and Inspector Xie is doing a really good job. But... All this investigation will have a huge impact on the relationship between Lucy and Chusan, on their possible future together, which in fact may not happen. 🙈
Discussion: Season 1, Episode 5 Join the Discussion
103You're calling me Girls))
I reminded you how a strange woman used to walk around our neighborhood and come up every day with the same question - Girl, do you have 5 rubles?! If there is, come on.
As for the kiss in this series, it's sure to be more intimate than the "cupcake" in many other lacorns and dramas.
The characters didn't actually have close physical contact here, but it felt like they couldn't be closer...
anyway, we're waiting.
And if it's in informal communication between friends, it's quite decent and appropriate.
What are you fools doing? Remove from the dryer.
Nice to meet you)) to be a girl))
And a girl, too))
Name it))
I wanted to answer right away yesterday, but the Internet was covered.
I've already lost the habit of this over the winter...
All summer and almost all autumn, there was no Internet from 00 o'clock to 05 o'clock in the morning almost every night.
Well, at least in my area of the railway and in the center, in the residential areas I know from friends.
Now spring has begun and there is night, there is no night...It alternates, but only before 7 a.m.
Now I checked, even at 6:59 it wasn't there, they turned it on at exactly 7.
Hopefully it won't be every night.
So call it))
I think this woman is NOT herself...
who said that to everyone she probably wouldn't meet.
Chu San and Xia Liui will have a lot of money, everyone in the area will be treated)) You don't have to ask them, they'll be the kindest couple. 💖
Everyone is different))
I love spoilers))
I initially paid attention to this discussion platform, because I realized that people here would spoiler the series even before I watched it.
It was later that I got into the discussions of the series themselves, some brilliant comments, and I didn't read them for a long time.
But I respect the opinion of those who don'T need spoilers.
I haven't really figured out the interface yet.
How do I put a sign on my phone when I write that the review contains a spoiler? Where to click?
@Ayana85: You're right, I agree, there are many people, opinions vary, and everyone has their own attitude to spoilers. This is the first time I have met just in advance of the events in the discussion series, how long I have already existed here, this is my first experience, hence my surprise, I assume. After all, the thought did not arise to treat the tape with caution. I do not impose myself with my position, I understand everything, the thought has been maturing for a long time whether to write, whether it is appropriate to ask for a note. To hide the text symbol |, you need to put two such sticks, before and after, the hidden text will turn out spoiler
Spoiler alert))I
It didn't work out((
Sticks in the sense of the first English?
Sticks in the keyboard where ????$¢∆ /√
I thought 2 sticks, I mean, one before and one after 😃
Come on...II Spoiler II
Or does it still mean slash slash) // Spoiler//
Well, where?!))
@innsight:
This is NOT for average minds))
Well, I don't have any other sticks on my keyboard
Hooray for it! Thank you))
For this, it was necessary to go to the signs, where the symbols of the cards, etc.
And how do you know that?
Every day there are new discoveries))
Well done. Run and eat a pie!
I would love to note the moment when Chu San put a pillow under Luyi's head to make him more comfortable, or when Luyi takes Chu San's hand and puts it on his waist.…
And this moment that you have saved for posterity is so beautiful.:
— Chu San, do you like sweets so much?
—No," I said.
Chu San is such a vulgar person
He's a doctor. He definitely put something in there to maintain male sexual function. Only natural and healthy.
Drink your dry wine. Dancing with a tambourine usually helps to bring WiFi back into the house.
I was also hooked by the expectant eye contact in the pauses between kisses... there's so much quiet tension and tenderness between them at that moment.
I think I even forgot to breathe, so as not to scare off this fragile atmosphere.
I never tire of admiring this approach, when every movement is calibrated, and the feeling is assembled from semitones: from how the light glides and where it ends in shadow. 🤌🏼
I'm dead.… How to resurrect now
And the fact that this is a dream was shown to us after he woke up. Still, Chu San didn't get the lollipop. Lui chewed it off himself.
Okay, I'll move on to the acceptance stage, which I'll look at tomorrow, and the comments will be added at the same time)))
Okay, I realized he was dreaming, but I'm in a coma from that kiss. 🫠
Cats are allowed at most, but even they go out the door if they demand attention too much.
If not, then it's just yours. You'll catch all the criminals with such observation. To be honest, it wasn't until I started reading your comments that I started watching doramas and lacorns more meaningfully, before I didn't think I understood half the meaning they were trying to convey to us.
It was an impetus for me when you focused on Chi Chen's watch when he came to the clinic, and how much was on it after the cupcake. I've seen it all too damn well, but I still don't have a puzzle. And then I read you, and I'm like, oh, right. And then I read about other lacorns, oh, right!!! Thank you for being there))
And if I turn on something, then I'm stuck in the screen. Doublescrolling is not my thing
So I start to fish out the details, especially if the direction is good, where usually all the fun is hidden in the little things.
So if it happens to be useful, then I'm only glad. 💚
By the way, when I was reviewing revenged love for some reason, I noticed a beautiful:
In the scene where So Wei suspects Chi Cheng of cheating, he then carefully covers him with a blanket... the one that previously lay on the floor like a carpet.
I hope it's been washed at least occasionally. 🫠
It's impossible not to review this pumped-up China! Especially if no one else is voicing the actors.
But, I like the atmosphere in this house. It's hot for me there, like in a greenhouse. It's rare to come across movies/TV series where you feel like you're in a 4d cinema, where you can smell, moisture, smoke, and wind...
And I usually don't do that, it's boring to revisit the same plot. And then I was happy to go through this story for the second time. I can count such cases on my fingers, and half of them, by the way, are from China.
In the first scene, I thought, what a ridiculous snow leopard, I need one, and then I noticed how So Wei brought it.
And I also felt this state in Chi Cheng's house, as if I was sitting there in this stuffy place.
By the way, there's also a visual: Chi Cheng's stained-glass windows combine green and red. Just like himself, who is more of a red flag at the beginning, but gradually it becomes clear that he is one of the most beautiful men in the world.
Plus, the space itself sets the tone in advance: the diffused light of the garlands already creates the right atmosphere. As a result, the world seems to build this romantic haze by itself, and the characters just find themselves inside it and succumb to it.
When a scene is introduced so naturally and just as neatly removed from it, there is no feeling that it was done for the sake of effect.
And the plot really captures this softness: the light of the projector passing through the curtain, which sways in the wind, as if it stretches this feeling further, turning what is happening into a dream of Chu San. Beautiful and a little elusive
When everything fits together so seamlessly, romantic post-processing is no longer perceived as something alien. 😌
Previously, I used to read the feeling of a "fortress inside a fortress city" at the atmospheric level, but here it also takes on a visual form.
Chu San's house glows in the midst of a sleeping, heavy neighborhood as if it doesn't belong to him at all.
It's like a separate, isolated space, inside which there are lights, garlands and warm family noise. there are silly jokes, the "Godfather" on a white sheet, the flirtation of the doctor and Jie Fei, the laughter of Liu and Chu San himself, and all this is adjacent to the area drowned in semi-darkness.
After all, even if you belong to a place that was once separated from Hong Kong so that its darkness would not spread further, this does not mean that you should merge with this darkness.
And in my eyes, Chu San's house becomes a "fortress" not as isolation, but as a place where you can be safe, where you can forget about a world in which there is more darkness than light for at least one evening.
"Xia Liushi, you're so happy
today—I'm in a place where I feel safe, and that makes me so happy."
"then you can stay here forever."
And in my eyes, this garland ceases to be just a festive decoration, it becomes something like the wall of this "fortress", albeit illusory.
And thanks to @Ayana85, I can't get it out of my head that Chu San is on top. I usually don't pay attention to this at all, but now I'm constantly having these thoughts when watching.
Has there really been an internal resistance?
But in my case, such dynamics seem rather familiar. Apparently, it's all the Manx/Manhua's fault, where for every harsh man with a dark past, there is a sweet, kind boy from whom you don't expect such zeal at all until history puts everything in its place. And they also draw such charming people that it's impossible to get enough of them.
And then it didn't come to intimacy yet, and I keep thinking that Chu San is a man with a strong character, a solid inner core. And I compare him to Lucy, who is very soft and gentle, at least in his feelings and thoughts. No matter how he hides behind his menacing gangster appearance, he is fragile and touching with people close to him. And my thoughts are racing which one of them is stronger in character. Although it didn't bother me much before. Everyone can be weaker or stronger at certain points...
Oh, I don't know how to express my thoughts properly. I recently spent two hours explaining to a friend that one drama is a spin-off to another. The skis were not moving...
For me, they are also both equal in energy: they combine both softness and hardness, depending on the situation.
At such moments, I just think about the existence of universal
Who knows, maybe they switch to their mood altogether, but they don't tell us about such subtleties.
This drama was able to distinguish itself even here, since it led to such arguments that the brain had not previously paid attention to.😌
I am the spoiler queen.
It's not that it really matters to me who's on top and who's on the bottom, but it just looks weird...
although many people like the humble guy/asset.
Often, readers of fanfiction, for example, generally welcome a NON-fixed layout ...
considering that it can be clearly fixed from day to day for years...It's just that the passive doesn'T have enough health.
We need to change and sometimes we both need to rest on some days.
That's probably how it happens in real life...
Sunflowers are flowers that I often give to my loved ones myself, because the meaning they contain is close to me.
It is one of the quietest and at the same time expressive symbols in the visual language. They have a sense of warmth, simplicity, and an almost intuitive attraction.
The sunflower always reaches out to the sun, turns behind it, chooses one point to which it wants to orient itself. This is his natural nature, and there is sincerity in it.
And the bouquet of sunflowers here becomes a reflection of Xia Liui's inner state.
He's not fully aware of his feelings yet, but he's already attracted to Chu San. He's calm, warm, and safe next to him, and that's enough to choose a direction without even calling it love.
Xia Liushi is like that sunflower here. He does not analyze, does not resist, does not ask unnecessary questions. He just goes where the light is.
And in this dynamic, Chu San becomes a source of warmth that you want to return to again and again.
And, of course, there is not only the present, but also a movement forward: Xia Liushi cannot let go of the idea of making Chu San a part of her life, even if he desperately resists.
Sunflowers leave a space for silence between words, for a feeling that already exists, but has not yet received its name.
It's that fragile moment when everything is already there, but it hasn't been said out loud yet.
A state where the space for "I love you" has not yet been formed, but there is already a place for "I am attracted to you"
— Did you like it?
— Yes
I also remembered that in Revenged Love, the New Year was celebrated with blooming greenery outside the window. 😅
In general, Thailand has already taught us to decorate a monster instead of a Christmas tree for the New Year, China and Taiwan have also been inviting us for the first New Year. Even these gatherings with lots of light bulbs, though without snow, are associated with this holiday.
So yes, you get used to such moments. Thank you for shooting something for us at all... we'll forgive them for the Summer New Year.
Liu Yi didn't make it to the graduation ceremony because he went to the territory of a rival gang and literally fought his way through to bring this bouquet to Chu San.
If it's not romantic, then I'm not sure what it is.
Well, nothing is so interesting about him - a perfectionist, the pride of his father, so stupidly drunkenly ran into an ordinary guy in a club...
These are Chu San's dreams...
if Xia Liushi found out, he would be flattered 😏
I must be a strange person...But I've never had a dream like this in my entire life...It happened that I dreamed of naked people without any erotic overtones, and it's always a BAD dream - either my throat hurts in the morning, or something else.
I dreamed of kisses several times, again without any eroticism, even unpleasant ones.
If you dream about this and you're paired up, know that you have the "horns"... Even if it's not straight cheating, but your man has some kind of trouble with someone.
And people are dreaming about something!!! ❤️🔥
Chu San is so businesslike in a suit))
But Xia Liui is still more stylish))
And now, too, no, you don't look enough, you already jump up at night))) And my husband is panting and can't understand why he got so lucky.🤣🤣🤣
I'll add to this my review of dreams...
I already copied it from a scientific article:
"The absence of erotic dreams is the absolute norm, not a sign of pathology."
Well, okay)) and then I already thought that something was wrong with me)) I repeat, Even if I rarely dream of a kiss, it never carries erotic overtones in my dreams and it is always a harbinger of trouble in real life.
You wake up and it doesn't feel good...
In general, I would like such erotic dreams to be dreamed by Xia Liui, and not by Chu San)) then he would have realized his feelings faster.
Although his girlfriend is a fighting crazy sexy madam, she's already telling him off)) I've already explained everything to him that he likes Chu San as a guy, but Xia Liushi pretends that she DOESN'T understand anything))
If you look among my friends, then most often erotic dreams are dreamed by those who lead an active sex life. That's right, she enjoys it and can't go a day without sex. On the contrary, acquaintances who have been single for a long time do not dream at all. But these are not statistics, they are rather personal conclusions from the people around me.
Actually, I think it's better not to dream than to see. Yes, the dreams are fabulous, tempting. Sometimes they're really scary. But dreams always beckon, and many are waiting for them. But not me. For example, I dream every day. It's a pity they're not like Chu San's. But they are also vivid, like life in a parallel world, with sequels and developments in subsequent dreams. And sometimes it's even better there than here. And it's actually dangerous.
So it's better to live your life in reality. What prevents you from making your desires come true instead of waiting to sleep with them?
As a child, I had almost nothing but nightmares.
As I got older, my dreams became calmer, but also almost always mystical.
Then I began to dream that I was a member of the Templar Society and I was captured...But I know that I would never betray the secrets of society.
Now, most of the time, I dream of some ancient eastern cities, bazaars...
Everyone around me speaks a language I don't know, the heat (which I rarely find in real life).
I see books in ancient languages...
Generally NOT up to romance))
In my dreams.
And regarding this series, it is necessary to show the dreams of Xia Lui, not just Chu San, for comparison))
Of course, Police Inspector Xie Jiahua, to whom justice is the brain, will not rest until he gets to every dark corner in Ganglong.
Of course, Lu Guangming has also appeared, who will try to quietly resolve the situation, but it seems to me that the inspector is not so stupid as not to recognize him as a mole.
Speaking of this couple
Lu Guarming naturally approached the inspector for a reason. But I fell out from the detail that Xie Jiahua left him money for the morning.… That's the manners of a guy 😆
And yes, I like that in Chinese dramas they always call a spade a spade and are not afraid to mention the word gay.
•••
But the second difficulty may be Chu San's father.
Now he has come to terms with the fact that Dage from Xiaoqi will occasionally brush his teeth at home in the morning... after all, he has a caramel bun in his soul, he just lost his way.
But when the father realizes that the child he has taken into care is ready to connect his life with him, he will definitely not be happy about this outcome.
After all, his mother's last wish was to protect Chu San from the criminal world. Not fulfilling her dying request would be like personally depriving her of the opportunity to rest in peace.
But, of course, Chu San is his mother's true son: he followed in her footsteps and also gave his heart to a gangster.
Although he's not particularly happy about this turn of events right now. It's one thing to stare at a priest, but it's another thing to realize that you're completely screwed.
And besides, Lucy is constantly reaching out to him with her dedication. I'm not sure yet if Chu San knows that he's an adopted child. Whether his father had told him the story of his family, there was definitely more to his act than just his reluctance to enter the criminal world under Xia Liushi's leadership.
The offer itself: "we are brothers for life" is definitely not to his liking, no less than a place in the Xiaoqi gang.
Well, I'm glad that I understood correctly where Sam came from in the name.
He's actually aiming for a different status.
If Chu San hadn't been like a family to Liu, he wouldn't have walked out of the Xiaoqi Hall on his own two feet after such an outburst.
You have to have balls of steel and extreme arrogance to refuse so abruptly and disrespectfully.
He was really lucky that everyone in the gang knew how Xia Liushi felt about him and gave him the opportunity to just leave.
Well, let's see. Maybe there will be anger there.
But in any case, Chu San has a tangled, heavy ball of feelings inside, which is difficult for him to untangle. Emotions are already at their limit, and then there are Lucy's guys who come right to the office and take him away in front of everyone. In such a situation, it's easy to get to a point where there's no longer any caution or delicacy... emotions just take over.
Moreover, before meeting with Lucy, he had a very clear idea of the future. He had put in a lot of effort to find his place outside of Ganlong. And there are not only complicated personal feelings between them, but also the boundary of two worlds that one of them will have to cross in order to be together.
And now everything is woven into one knot: his feelings for Lucy, his desire to protect him, and his unshakeable conviction that he does not intend to bind himself to the world of Lucy. But at the same time, his feelings had already taken shape and began to put pressure on him.
But that's also just my guess.
In any case, the reluctance of the ripper seller to dedicate his life to the ripper is understandable even if Chu San had not had such a family tragedy. He knows everything about this gang. The only way out is through evisceration. What was there, three cuts and six holes?
And at the time of the incident, Lucy was only three years old, you can't remember much, even if it was some kind of big news. He would have survived on his own, and when he was dragged into the criminal world, hardly anyone there would have discussed this tragedy for a long time. It's not like it's any special situation.
But among civilians, so to speak, rumors could really spread for a long time: everyone there lives close to each other, Chu San looms before his eyes, it's hard to hide something.
So, apparently, I'm really wrong in my reasoning.
Well, it's possible that Louis heard the story of a bandit who was stabbed to death, but did not betray the fact that he also had a pregnant wife. Rumors, they creep around a lot, like a broken phone. And everyone sees the picture from different angles. One will say that the woman died because of her husband, the other will say that a bandit was stabbed in front of his pregnant wife.
Also, this new branch with cops is definitely not going to be boring.. The confusing adult world🫢
In general, it seems that the difference between the worlds of Chusan and Liyu has become even sharper, even more distinct. Chusan's colleagues at work seem to be completely unaware that there are gangs and a completely different world in this city of skyscrapers. It was just very contrasting. And very sharply. Just as abruptly as Chusan's refusal to join a gang, and then his proud walk after that, when everyone around was just speechless. It was as if Chusan's words about the need to keep his distance had materialized. And they scared the hell out of Lucy.
Inspector Xie's one-night stand is definitely a very interesting and unusual fruit. It's very intriguing. Although I even like their slightly cocky and half-open relationship dynamics)) Although Inspector Xie himself makes me nervous. More precisely, he makes me worry about Lü and his future. The inspector obviously won't let go of the gang case just like that, and he'll definitely come out to Leah, and he'll definitely try to catch him and put him in jail. And that's what makes it scary. I understand that bandits are bad, that they do a lot of bad things. But here they are shown in such a way that all this danger seems to fade into the background. Real ordinary people, each with their own difficult story. They just don't know or don't know how to live any other way. They're just raised differently. And for some reason, you sympathize with them, even realizing that they are not growing flowers and Inspector Xie is doing a really good job. But... All this investigation will have a huge impact on the relationship between Lucy and Chusan, on their possible future together, which in fact may not happen. 🙈
