anyone, if you need some entertainment before the probably stressful final 6 episodes, watch Ning Yuanzhou sings…
Just what I needed : thanks a million ! I know that room: been singing online with LYN videos over the years since 2020 ;-). Just the individual songs LYN recorded there, which I saved and came back to over and over.... He is happily back with his two musicians from his band, Modern Brothers.
16 songs now on that new playlist of the songs by others that he picked and covered for a change: looking forward to them! A helpful soul put in titles and timestamps in comments. LYN talks a lot too, and it is only a pity that it is not subtitled for those who don't understand his comments and jokes
What a ride! This was hands up best wuxia of the year for me. 6 episodes to go, still; almost can't wait till Christmas for the end. The leads and story grew better and better at each eventful episode. Liu Yuning was amazing, Liu Shishi hieratical, Chang Huasen arresting, He Landou grew from random kitten to resolute power... all the cast was good. The story is excellent, plot is thrilling. Don't be deterred by the churlish ones who dislike LYN's unusual face and resent he is as good an actor as he is an independent minded person and musician, and jealous that AJTL is "stealing top spots" in viewership! Don't dampen your pleasure by their snide remarks, there is no moment when story lags. Those who ff (fkfk) stupidly because they "don't like this and that" just miss out on the greatest wuxia of the year. It has grown to LLTG level, for those who enjoyed the thrills then, and also were so hooked that pauses in airing felt painful! Can't put in emojis with my machine, otherwise I would put it a whole line of fire and hearts !!
For those who'd like to know more about Tan Jianci / JC-T / Tan Kenji ❤️ , I have compiled a mini Profile here, in the wake of "Love Me Love My Voice" details, in the companion pieces I posted in Discussions on the drama page. If you scroll up, you'll find details about location and time of filming, crew, poems referred to, music styles, songs and singers, chosen BTS and interviews, etc. The mini profile is in Section 5, here: https://kisskh.at/discussions/really-miss-you/121599-love-you-love-my-voice-playlist-and-more?pid=2904475&page=1#p2904475 enjoy, and happy end of year holidays to all !
Although I am not 100% positive about this long drama, which I watched from end to end, for the beautiful OST songs and for Tan Jianci, I hope those of you who would like to know more about the actor, and about the songs, the singers, the type of music performed here, and some poems and places + basic info about location and time the drama was filmed, will find interest in the companion piece under: https://kisskh.at/discussions/really-miss-you/121599-love-you-love-my-voice-playlist-and-more?page=last&p=2904475#p2904475 It is now fairly complete, as was my watching.
Wow this is too funny. LMLMV is modern not historical drama for you to compare them but I dropped LLTG real fast.…
Wow, you must be easily entertained if you find my comment so funny. But it does reflect that you like to misinterpret what others say .... It also shows that you do not like costume dramas, generally, or if the story is complicated. As you say : to each their own.
Of course I am not comparing LMLMV to LLTG as dramas or even as casts. LLTG was the only c-drama I really kept hanging on anticipating in the long breaks like the 3 day one now (well, maybe some other dramas too, but not as intensely). Usually, I just let the drama hang a few weeks before taking it up again if there is a long break.
AJTL is expected to top views in China as computed by TV ratings and social discussions in the past week. And since Opening Douban rating is out already for it, I was just skimming through the many only laudatory comments about the drama that go totally against your one. Here is one that reflects how I feel about that one : "I am quite happy with the opening rating of Journey to Love... I didn't expect much from it initially but to my surprise, it is really well done, so far the characters and the storyline has been quite engaging and exciting, I hope it maintains the quality till the end. So I will give 8 to AJTL It was quite disappointing and low of people to bully and criticize Liu Yu Ning for his looks, i truly respect him for handling such things strongly and maturely, despite having much industrial backup he is quite hardworking and I hope he keeps growing, still I wonder how ppl doesn't consider him good looking, are they blind???😂plus he doing a phenomenal job in AJTL:)"
Maybe you don't like the looks of Liu Yuning and prefer the heavy makeup that JC-T has to endure in LMLMV.
Do gainful work, or workout, sing the OST in karaoke, go hiking, boxing - or unboxing.... Lots of possibilities including catching a Last Immortal that'll drop tomorrow. lol
Not sure if it is becoz they are releasing Shen Yin which dropped unexpectedly
yes, airing from Dec11. Big smile : ZLS back on screen with another yummy ML (Wang Anyu) - Looking forward to continue following her with the happy keluli munching canelés and drinking hot chocolate over the Xmas holidays in between being showered with seasonal songs : Oh, the weather outside is frightful But the fire is so delightful And since we've no place to go Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Well, it's not like LLTG : I won't re-watch episodes too closely... Not that thrilling. And the kisses are underwhelming. The music is good, so I'll put on the OST while doing some other work.
Some songs are not yet heard in the drama, so I can't do more than what I did in my annotation of the OST (part of my companion piece in Discussion). I still have not found Le Xiaotao, who is only mentioned as "Internet singer" on Baidu zhidao: she has also sung before as voice of "others" as mentioned there (but I have not found recordings) But there's a mention elsewhere of Le Xiaotao as the heroine of a time travel novel, so I assume Le Xiaotao must be a stage name. No idea who is really behind that name, except I don't believe it could be Zhou Ye herself.
Then, while listening to alto singer Chen Min on Youtube (she is one of the singers who covered the "shengshengman" song), I stumbled upon her cover of a recent song by Dao Lang who is a special artist (some may remember the Raksha haishi phenomenon this summer) His songs are roundabout (if sarcastically) related to the spirit of zhongguochao, so I added his name and some links in the playlist of songs and styles related to zhongguofeng/gufeng.
-- Next, I 'll go back to Journey To Love, which is thrilling. Frustrating for those who crave kissing and skinship, probably: it is more about battles, undercover agents in ancient costume, and politics. Chang Huasen caught my attention among the 2nd leads. I'll remember that name and face for other drama watching, surely. I have noted that the main cast there will be on stage of Hello Saturday TV show Dec16 together with Tan Jianci!
Same genre and some people may feel they're the same but to me, they're not quite. While both have love story…
Yes that was fun: JC-T as Victor Ma/Sang Yan "bro" in spirit. Duan Jiaxu and Tan Jianci in a drama? Did you mean ZLS and JC-T or Chen Zheyuan and Tan Jianci
CZY & JC-T HAVE played together; a pity that the drama is shelved... I did an overview of it in the section about upcoming and shelved dramas of Chen Zheyuan in the Profile I did about him earlier this year. It is in the Discussion section of upcoming Dark Night and Dawn, direct link here : https://kisskh.at/discussions/an-ye-yu-li-ming/119875-profile-of-chen-zhe-yuan - perhaps I should check what I could update there... but it's a while since I haunted the yuanbao pages
Yes Rosy and Tan Jianci could perhaps be an interesting pairing. I am looking forward to her next one with Liu Yuning too! And LYN is a singer too, although I do not expect the costume drama to turn full musical like this LMLMV ;-)
For those who might be interested, I have added a companion piece in Discussion with quick notes about the drama, + a longer discussion about gufeng/zhongguofeng and related music styles, and an annotated OST list, with the moments where the songs can be heard, and short notes about the singers. It is here : https://kisskh.at/discussions/really-miss-you/121599-love-you-love-my-voice-playlist-and-more Still in progress, since some songs have yet to surface in the drama ;-)
Same genre and some people may feel they're the same but to me, they're not quite. While both have love story…
To me, Duan Jiaxu is much more romantic (and pleasingly funny) than Dr. Mo. Compare the scene with Duan Jiaxu sweetly poking Sang Zhi's cheek while they are sitting like love birds together at the university lecture, with Dr Mo just sitting behind Gu Sheng at a similar lecture. But LMLMV is a different romance. I like it too, despite the touristy filler. I have visited Yangshuo and Guilin in another timeline, when hordes of tourists were not competing for space, and the beautiful scenery could be taken in at leisure, complete with Chinese painting style boys riding swimming buffaloes, and the monkey screaming from the steep green banks in Guilin river park area. So I don't really mind the drama "postcard" vacation, that triggers nice memories, also of food, when we sat in a street-side restaurant, after choosing unlikely sustenance at a picturesque open air restaurant with trestle tables.

17 is for fun? It's the same as 13, credited to real life Le Xiaotao, right? 14 Realm of Prosperity - the song by HITA and more : is that one a reprise from other OST? This growing OST -- rejoicing. 💕
Thanks for that additional title among those you translated! I read that there are 28 items on the OST list. I…
Thank you for answer. While looking at the OST you linked, I noticed that you also just posted "Life Is Most Important" - 声声慢 (Sheng Shengman) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lPmJLJPuMUw Same question as your first commenter there: does Sheng Shengman exist ??? I thought she was only a character in a novel, brought to live action drama by Zhou Ye. Was there more there? OR is that one instance of "straight from whenever they are played in the drama to upload in case they aren't officially released" ?
oh right, it was to amuse the treasure hunters? real credits to singer Le Xiaotao here of course : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FKDIq_X3-o Anyway, thanks for fueling more interest in the lovely drama and its music!
