Sometime our parents are hard on us trying to dictate our career and life is because they tried to create a “stable” and “safe” path for us so that we won’t have to endure all the “pain” and “suffering” they had in their younger days.
But the problem is that, no matter how perfect your plan is, life will find a way. If bad things were to happen, it will happen, just as shown in this drama with her mother trying to chose the right husband which didn’t turn out as planned.
So you might as well follow your heart and do what you really want to do, because life is going to happen either way, so you might as well do things that you want. At least you have a sense of control instead of following others.
Wanna give this scene to Luo Yunxi aka Tantai Jin for that great acting. Tugged at my heart. She really loved Ye Xiwu / Li Susu so much it really hurts 💔
Haru and Danoh from Extraordinary You! I love this drama so much, and all of their cute scenes like this together. Just an all-around great show.
I tried using layers to do lighting for the first time, and it’s crazy how good it turned out for five minutes of effort. I may try my usual method later, though, just to see if I prefer that better.

I saw this on an Instagram reel—I'm planning to see every bookmarked movie I saved so I came back to my collections and I chose this. Before looking for the movie, the last comment I remember under the reel was "Don't even bother finding it, it's crap." Somehow I was enraged and I ran off to a different site. Because the cinematography looked really promising, and maybe I'm biased to Japanese movies. I haven't seen much. I think this is my second to "Blue". I watch more animated movies than actual people. But there's no way this could be bad. So I played it. And I knew I was right. I always loved how raw movie characters are in the Japanese cinema. I believe they represent all of us in humanity very well. We make bad decisions, we like to pretend we don't feel what we feel, we sleep like children and wake up like children, we feel angry in behalf of the people we love, we suffer for them, we forgive them, we are terrible people but we always try for the people we want to love. I think this movie is personal to me. Especially the main character. I've been in love with someone for a long time now. We won't ever be together though. That's a lie because I still hope. I don't have anyone I'm entertaining, but I always wonder, if I had a partner five years from now, who would I choose if my first love called my name? It scares me to answer so fast. Deep down, I know. And deep down, I know it won't go away. I might forget about it. When I remember, it's like I'm a thirteen year old who's enthusiastic about the multiverse and time-detoriation all over again. I hope I can love again.
