Episode 38 - what does Ling Xiao tell Li Jian Jian while they are watching a movie? I've got to learn the language!
He said, "let's get married". JJ is shocked and shows hesitation. Then he backed down and said "I'll save money to buy a house first" Then JJ said "Who wants your house?" (implied "I don't want your house")
Can anyone translate what Lx said to Jj in the clip where he kissed her in front of his mom and sister? I’m…
He's likely on the verge of having a nervous breakdown. We don't know what's the context of the scene, but JJ probably felt uncomfortable with CT and XCZ there and wanted to leave, and LX kept her there and focused his attention on her, hence asking "why is she sweating so much". JJ then wanted to leave, but LX's insecurities/nerves probably took over, and he kissed her. Then she ran away.
That's my best interpretation based on the trailer.
wtf when did Ling Xiao and JianJian got together? I'm up to ep 27 and had watched it RAW then watched the translated…
So the way the show is written (and also based on interviews with the cast), there is no "definitive" time point on when they got together. There was no explicit exchange of words, but more of a mutual understanding that this is the nature of their relationship moving forward. I'd say if I'd have to pinpoint a time, it'd be the conversation in the dessert shop after their 1st kiss. JJ was basically admitting to dating him without actually saying so.
To clarify for everyone confused about the episode extension, only the broadcasting version is getting extended to 46 episodes. The version released on Youtube will remain as 40 episodes. There is no difference in content between the 2 versions, only the length of each episode. (If you are following the version with 42 to 45 min in each episode, you're following the 40 episode version).
Chinese dramas do not operate on the live shooting system, so there is no "extension" in the same manner as k-dramas. The broadcaster simply is shortening the length of each episode and extending the length of the "flashback" segment in the beginning to stretch out existing content, so that the show stays on air for longer since this show currently has very high ratings.
Basically, the broadcaster stretched out all the original episodes so that there are more broadcasting episodes…
Not sure which version is on WeTV, but the DVD version is the one on YouTube and has the consistent length of about 43 to 45 min per episode. This version will have 40 episodes, confirmed. Currently up to episode 33 is released on MangoTV (earliest official release), which means there is at least 5x45 min of new material.
The broadcasting version varies wildly in length (25 to 40 min) per episode and contains a significant portion of previous episodes in the start. This version will have 46 episodes. The finale broadcasting date is on 9/6. Currently, the 38th episode have been broadcasted in this version.
The content is consistent (to date) between the 2 versions.
They extended the series from 40 to 46 episodes!!! OMG YESS!! But please I hope they don't drag it and add some…
Basically, the broadcaster stretched out all the original episodes so that there are more broadcasting episodes because this show has very high ratings. It's pretty obvious from the DVD versions that there are a good number of episodes left.
Honestly the dramatic music in the episode preview made me expect much worse from the dinner scene, but in the…
I found the scene more suffocating...maybe because everyone is just holding everything in to keep the peace, with the expectation that CT and XCZ will leave soon. The scene of JJ and XCZ in the bathroom was so heart wrenching to watch.
How would chinese speakers translate "我疼你" (wo teng ni)? Which JJ quietly said to Lx while he was sleeping…
Maybe "I will cherish you" is more appropriate. 疼 is a complex verb, since as a noun the character means pain. It forms word combinations that convey both doting/love and also pity/sympathy. In the context of their conversation, LX was sharing his pains, which have been largely overlooked by others around (his mom, sister, dad, etc). When JJ said 我疼你, she was conveying a sense of "I will see you pain and cherish you".
Then he backed down and said "I'll save money to buy a house first"
Then JJ said "Who wants your house?" (implied "I don't want your house")
