Family means your mannerisms are in sync.

Love Like the Galaxy ep 20 and 22

[I/D two gifs from Love like the Galaxy where NiaoNiao’s family matches up their mannerisms. Gif 1: NiaoNiao and her mom roll up their sleves and put put their hands on their hips in sync. Gif 2: NiaoNiao’s parents take a breath in and sigh in sync.]

For those looking for the “MARITAL BLISS” part of the story, here is a machine translated part of the epilogue.

▪️ Huo Buyi/Huo Budo/Huo ZhouMu is now a governor or head of state (vassal state) that he opened up during his exile* on the NorthWestern region, uniting the local tribes. Ah Xiu is a 14 year old grandson (heir) of one of the tribal leaders (who is leading other tribes) - this is how I understand it.

*he also conquered the Kingdom of Shu

----

Ah Xiu is becoming more and more free in the state pastoral (HB & SS residence/palace) which shows Huo ZhouMu trusted him more and more, but it also brought a little trouble to Ah Xiu - because he would always bump into the intimate behaviour of ZhouMu and his wife from time to time.

In fact, the local customs are open and young men and women have been accustomed to seeing Ah Xiu in a place to kiss or touch something, but somehow, he will still blush when he sees the ZhouMu couple affectionate. The same move, Brother Ah Yong and his good deeds are like cattle roaring, Ah Xiu is too lazy to see, but the ZhouMu couple can't say the tenderness and sweetness when they do it.

One day, Hou ZhouMu wanted to take Ah Xiu to the military camp outside the city, when it was not yet dawn, Mrs. ZhouMu came out with her hair scattered and confused to send him, her eyebrows were soft, and she was naked with a pair of snow-white lotus feet, and when ZhouMu saw her, he hugged her into his arms, and the two kissed passionately. Mrs. ZhouMu followed her husbands chin, to the long neck, nibbled his adam's apple, and finally kissed into the chest of ZhouMu's loose clothes, Huo ZhouMu was tall and strong, and as soon as his arms were raised, he lifted the lady in her entirety, kissed her earlobes and hollow of her neck, and then went down...

----------

Another time, the lady personally shaved the face of the state pastor, Ah Xiu sat cross-legged under the porch to endorse the book, from time to time to look back, saw the lady tenderly like water touching the face and neck of the state pastor, the state pastor put one hand on the waist of the lady and another on her hand, the two looked at each other and said endless affection. Ah Xiu finished memorizing the book and went back, and when he left, he suddenly thought that ZhouMu had one hand on his wife's waist, and another hand, where was it? Ah Xiu tried to recall that Madame's summer shirt was very wide, and the sleeves were particulary wide, and oh, ZhouMu's other hand seemed to reach into Madame's sleeve...

- What the idiot told him that Han Chinese people are very reserved and reserved! It's all a lie!

-----------

When Ah Xiu was able to write a complete family letter in Chinese characters, Mrs. ZhouMu was diagnosed as pregnant, and Huo ZhouMu froze on the spot, and his handsome and majestic face inexplicaply shed tears.

“Shao Shang, I, I...” Huo ZhouMu, who was cast in steel and iron, put his arm around his wife and choked up unspeakably.

Mrs. ZhouMu gently took her husband's head into her arms: “I know, I know... In the future, you will have many flesh and blood relatives, and you will not be the only one again.”

Huo ZhouMu raised his head, his eyes clear, and smiled with tears: “ No, since I saw you, I have not been alone.”

Although he did not know why, Ah Xiu's heart was also sour, so he cried. He felt that this marriage between the ZhouMu couple must have come bitterly and very difficult. It's great that they can finally become dependents (married).

Ah Xiu studied around Huo ZhouMu for many years, he personally watched Lady ZhouMu get pregnant, give birth, raise children, the great emperor in the distance sent things and doctors in a long convoy one after another and the ZhouMu couple returned to the capital from time to time to report, to visit their relatives, conferring titles, many rewards... Cycle.

Just as Mrs. ZhouMu said, Huo ZhouMu really had several flesh and blood relatives, although one was more naughty than the other, and the other was more angry than the other, but it was really good to be lively all day.

▪️ So, they weren’t shy! And they were very prolicfic with their baby making! I was thinking that their household staff and his subordinates were giving them a wide berth whenever Zisheng and Shaoshang were in close proximity to each other. They probably have this policy amongst themselves of announcing, discreetly perhaps, of “They are a metre apart... Rruuunnnn!!!!” hahahahha

[nemainofthewater]

Welcome to the 'Best Character with [X] surname' polls!

This is where I take several characters from different Chinese media (mostly cnovels and cdrama) and run a poll on which one is the 'best'. What does best mean? It's up to you! Whether you love them, are intrigued by their characters, love to hate them, or they're your '2 second blorbos whose personality you made up wholesale', these are all reasons for you to vote for your favs!

NB: the surnames are not exactly the same in all the cases, as often they will be a different character. I am, however, grouping them all together otherwise things got more complicated.

If you can't find a surname, it's because I couldn't find enough candidates (at least 3 from 3 distinct medias) to compete. Feel free to submit candidates!

I will be posting several polls at a time, so do come back and check this masterpost to remember which polls are ongoing, who the winners are, and who's coming up next!

Currently ongoing polls:/Chi/Shan/Tian/Dao/Chao/Xin/Ran/Sang/Miao/Cang/Yao/Zang/Chong/Nangong

Finished polls: Xing/Rong/Nan/Ren/Pan/Qu/Fu/Sui/Tan/You/Sima/Xuan/Chang/Xun/Shangguan/Jian/Qian/Shu/Xi/Yuwen/Cai/Sha/Yin/Ceng/Helian/Zeng/Lou/Mi/Ji/Ping/Tong/Tuoba /Ge/Murong/Hei/Niu/Tao/Si/Pang/Zi/Gongsun/Mao/Qing/Lian

[thegreymoon]

I’ve seen many people do end-of-the-year rankings of the dramas they watched, so here is mine! I’m ranking them in order from the ones I enjoyed the most to the ones I enjoyed the least. This is not a reflection on the actual quality of the dramas and is based exclusively on how much I subjectively liked them. 

1. Monarch Industry 

Favourite drama of the year and possibly my favourite drama ever! It’s so good! Xiao Qi owns my entire heart! Warmly recommended 🖤

2. Black Sails 

A most excellent show. Highly recommended. 

3. Love Like the Galaxy

I loved this drama so much! Shaoshang is the best female lead of the year, hands down! I adore her! Plus, this is the drama that turned me into a Wu Lei fan, I’ve watched ep. 48 so many times! 

4. Gold Panning 

I was very antagonistic towards this drama when I first started watching it but luckily, I stuck with it and it turned out to be SO GOOD. It’s very grimy and dark, but it was such a good watch! Highly recommended. It is the type of drama that you can admit to watching and recommend in any company without feeling embarrassed. I want more roles like this for Chen Feiyu.

5. The Great Shaolin 

This one started out SO GOOD, I was certain it would top all the dramas I ever watched, but then it devolved in the second half and did not live up to its promise. I’m still mad, but Zhou Yiwei is perfection and the good parts of this drama were amazing, so it still made it pretty high up on this list. 

6. Kevin Can F*** Himself

I am normally not a fan of comedies, but this one was excellent. Highly recommended! 

7. Kingdom 

I’m just not a fan of zombies, so unfortunately, this one cannot go higher, but it is so well done! I very much recommend this drama if you like horror and have high tolerance for gore. 

8. Love Between Fairy and Devil 

This was such a cute and hilarious watch, I loved it so much! It does not quite reach the level of the best drama of the year for me the way it did for some people, but it was still a good time! Highly recommended! 

9. King’s War 

I still can’t believe I made it through this entire drama without skipping! I loved it, but I’m cautious about recommending it because it is very long and very grim. It is just perfect for history lovers but maybe less so for people just looking for some entertainment. 

10. Kinnporsche 

This one would have made it way higher on the list if it had been a few episodes shorter. I completely lost interest when the whole Tawan subplot took over and I never really recovered it. 

11. The Longest Day in Chang’an 

I fully admit I watched this only for Zhou Yiwei. His performance alone would put this drama right at the top, but unfortunately, the rest of it just dragged and was full of plot holes and unlikeable characters. Lots of people sing praises for this drama but other than Zhou Yiwei’s part in it, I did not enjoy it at all. 

12. Light Chaser Rescue 

This is definitely not the worst thing I ever watched but I only recommend it if you are a Luo Yunxi fan, lol. 

13. Killer and Healer

I cannot think of a single thing to recommend when it comes to this mess. 

[dangermousie]

The best part is he sincerely means it as a compliment ahahahahaha even though her interpretation is the more normal one:

He really is the most awkward human alive, which makes sense since he's intense, fucked up, with a weird upbringing/background and zero need of social graces.

Also, this shippy MV for them:

I think LLTG is so so so very much a cdrama as a Jane Austen novel with some Bronte thrown in aka the best combo.

Chen Shaoshang's matrimonial quest and family adjustments AND Ling Buyi's revenge narrative against his uncle, which gets deliciously sidetracked by love, somehow mesh into a super coherent story even if you'd think they are in two different genres.

[zhoufeis]

11: lan wangji or xie yun 12: zhou fei or lu zhaoyao 13: wen kexing or wei wuxian 14: li xun or zhu yun 15: ban hua or rong xia 16: bai fengxi or cheng shaoshang 17: shaodian youqin or chao feng 18: gu xiang or yan hui 19: hei fengxi or li chenlan 20: xiao lanhua or dongfang qingcang

[gizkasparadise]

@neverthelessbutterflies​ asked for favorite cdrama characters in another post! HERE WE GO with a top five off the top of my head

FAVORITE CDRAMA CHARACTERS

chu xuanji, love and redemption. im limiting myself to one L&R character, otherwise that’d be the whole list :’D but i love xuanji so much. she’s clueless, she’s funny, she’s the god of war with a 10 lifetime long vendetta against heaven, nbd. has the best power-up song in cdrama

li cheng yin/gu xiaowu, goodbye my princess. A REAL PIECE OF SHIT. but so magnetic and fascinating to watch. cheng yin would be the villain in any other drama, but in his own he’s the male lead and holy shit the way chen xing xu could turn on a dime from happy puppy in love with his wife to unhinged future emperor was incredible

cheng shaoshang/niao niao, love like the galaxy. this might be premature, since the show hasn’t finished airing, but i adore niao niao. she’s a STEM nerd who has a wicked streak to her and she’s just a really fun and engaging female lead. you get why she has three suitors!

sheng minglan, the story of minglan. a really unique cdrama lead-- she’s incredibly clever, but also works within the constraints of society at the time (no weirdly anachronistic mannerisms to show she’s intelligent) and oh, god, does this poor girl need a hug. gu tingye was also great fun-- i had a hard time deciding between them

ma zitan/prince an’ping, the rebel princess/monarch industry. LOOK I KNOW. in a drama full of amazing characters, i dont understand why i love zitan the most of all of them. but he was so perfectly useless, confused about what drama he was in, and hilariously self-involved that he just delighted me every time he was on screen. best moment was poppa wang showing up in an emperor’s outfit and kicking him off the big boy chair

honorable mentions

ziqui, go ahead

jin yu & wu ji, sound of the desert

qian qian & han shou, romance of tiger and rose

su can can, wait my youth

hao du and princess leyan from the long ballad

everyone in monarch industry

almost everyone in love and redemption

[beenheresinceforever]

The entire series explained in one gif

i need to scream into the void about how apparent it was that parents too are quite stupid when it comes to court politics.

How easy would it have been to say stuff like, 'we don't deserve your grace, are too poor, blah blah blah" then grab the chance when Emperor tells them to think about it and think up an excuse>

But no, both parents are too flustered. They too tense as it is with Shaoshang's delibrate efforts to behave even worse than usual. It's basic courtesy that you don't run around like a headless gorm in the palace. Shaoshang knows this yet she consistently breaks every rule that even a common villager would know. She is not just fearless or ignorant she is deliberately testing the limits of her parents' patience.

Then comes the whammy with Ling BuYi asking the Emperor to act as his elder and the Emperor turns around and proposes the marriage. Yuanyi doesn't hesitate to resist the Emperor. She behaves like this is some military discussion. But nope, it is so apparent they're out of their depth.

Even in the past, it has been pointed out they're new at this shit. Totally powerless against the nobles and I see why the Chens did not want Shaoshang to get married to the craziest of the lot according to everyone

Let's face it. By now, the capital would know that LBY had killed that rebel general in cold blood going against the Emperor's orders. So no one wants to mess with him.

That said, Yuanyi has gone to a point of no return. Shaoshang essentially tells her that they can be strangers after she marries LBY and her mother does not have to care what happens to her.

The mother's ego is wounded rather than her feelings. Like now she truly believes her daughter is way past redemption.

But why blame only the mother? What the heck was Dad doing all these days? It's demonstrated time and again that Yuanyi listens to her husband. But he just does not want the responsibility or the risk of being seen as the 'bad guy'

[therukurals]

Okay maybe like three people will get this, and also disclaimer that the political contexts of these two characters are very different but the parallels of Chen Shaoshang and Rene!!! Both deeply traumatized and guarded, but are clever, loving, complex, and fighters who have this deep protectiveness of themselves and self respect. Like absolutely two of my favorite characters I've witnessed this year.

[utterlyhooked]

I am not obsessed but... I very, very, very, very much love this drama! Why?...

Everyone is flawed, every single one of them!

Extremely flawed characters, it’s refreshing! The leads, while they have numerous good traits to recommend them, they also have dark sides. In Ling Buyi’s character, it’s dark, very dark it’s pitch black!

I have not seen that many cdramas but I doubt that the main characters in other dramas are this flawed. Generally, male leads with tragic back stories have minimal traumas (in comparison to this), have bits of flaws here and there, are virtuous, righteous, and always heroic.

Ling Buyi’s trauma is so great he can’t possibly come out of it unscathed, he simply cannot be sane! I love the way this character is written, it’s so human. Witnessing the murder of his father, the massacre of his whole family, I think they were tortured and hanged, and the slaughter of an entire city. Add to this, as a child to keep this great secret, constantly reminded of the goal to take revenge, and the most tragic is the fact that he had to carry the name of the person who killed his father, to carry the name of LING! Be known as a Ling, have meritorious acheivements as a Ling, be feared and respected as a Ling! This is a man who can topple kingdoms, which he probably did (you know, like vassal kingdoms), and if he so wished he is powerful enough that he could also destroy the empire. He can do anything under the sun, can acheive anything under the sun, under the galaxy I mean but for one thing, he cannot lawfully avenge the deaths that has haunted him his whole life. How excruciatingly maddening would that be?!

* I’m not obsessed because I can’t fangirl! He is little Fei Lui! Great acting, I mean, did you see him playing the qin, I really thought he could play it!!! and in  episode 48... WHOA! He is handsome, great skin (LOL), very fine, very, very fine physique (aherm!),  but he is so young looking, his face is so young that he looks like he’s 12! or maybe it’s because I’m old... hehehehe

[beenheresinceforever]

Love like a Galaxy Episode 11- 12

So Shaoshang's mother is self-delusional and a matyr in the wackiest way possible. She says Niaoniao needs to know how things were for them implying that she know what her daughter thinks about her life - that is to say Shaoshang does not have any idea how terrible and hard it was for them. But.... does the child need to? None of us know the horrors of war until we are right in the thick of it.

Spoilers

Does the mother guess that they'll be ambushed and that is why she sends guards with them in the guise of protecting her daughter? After all, she does say that she has to be the bad one so the rest of the Chen family looks good. So does Dad Chen and Mom Chen know something about the Shu rebellion and don't want to get caught up so they send their daughter with Third Brother and his wife so sending along a few guards won't suspicious?

Here's a woman who tries to pretend but is seriously pissed off because her daughter won't play along with her charade.
