cha segye, once full of kindness, grew to believe it had no place in the world until he meets shin seori/kds, who not only accepts it but expresses directly to him — the love language he has longed for all along. 🥹

I gotta say that old man Tao really does know his disciple well. He saw a strong, capable, kind young woman and immediately knew she was a perfect match.

Shame they’re already married

She was like wild grass in an untended field, growing upwards with sheer tenacity. She could break through frozen earth, split rocks, endure harsh winters, and survive scorching summers. No matter whether the emerging sprout faced frost or rain, the roots below continued to burrow deep into the thick soil, constantly providing nourishment for the sprout to grow upwards. — Xie Zheng's thoughts about Fan Changyu, Chapter 31 of webnovel "Chasing Jade"

And THIS ladies and gentlemen is why directors matter. A four minute scene had more tension and intimacy than actual bed scenes.

I've already waxed on about how much I love Director Zeng Qingjie's work and his use of the "feminine gaze" so I won't repeat myself too much but dammit the way he portrays desire (especially women’s desire) and does so this skillfully with barely a word of dialogue is unmatched.

Just look at the cinematography:

It's the architectural framing of the curtains and the soft backlighting to highlight that the characters are finally "alone" as husband and wife for the first time. It's the gradual tightening of each shot to capture the characters' growing physical awareness of one another. It's the play of power with her more physically dominant in the frame while he guides her movements verbally. It's the impressionistic use of a handheld camera and the fluid rack focus on the eyes to mimic the intoxication of their almost-but-not-quite kiss.

And don't forget Zeng's strategic insert of a close-up:

Look at how the lighting reveals the texture of the clothes she's taking off him! And the blanket he hugs to bring her closer! And the goosebumps that appear on his skin when she washes him! All that suggestive wetness.

(Side Note: Hilariously, Tumblr marked those particular images of the blanket and goosebumps as needing a content label so I removed them.)

There's a certain haziness to the scene but where they touch is still in focus--there's sensuality in the tactile.

Director Zeng, please make at least 1-2 romance dramas a year and show these other directors how it's done.

Please and thank you.
