Immagina che il mondo somigli a ciò che sento.

Un amore per amore siamo noi.

Think about the world looking similar to what I feel.

A love for a love we are.

Immagina il tuo tempo che scorre nel mio tempo.

Un amore per amore, io e te.

Think about your time flowing in my time.

A love for a love, me and you.

Ti ho cercato in ogni dove.

Ero solo un uomo solo.

Mani e piede sulle strade, con te.

I searched for you everywhere.

I was just a lonely man.

Hands and feet on the streets, with you.

WHERE IS CHENG YI?

Watching Cheng Yi's new drama The journey of Legend that I was waiting for since its announcement. I'm currently at episode 3 but I can't say I'm enjoying it. There is something wrong about Cheng Yi's character that I can't identify clearly. Is it only my impression or he is a bit undertone? I feel like the character he plays is too controlled like if Cheng Yi was holding himself while acting. I don't know how to explain it. I feel he can't express himself properly in the character of Xiao Qiu Shui like he did with Li Lianhua who I perceived like a real person.

Instead I can't resonate with this new character. Ok everyone has their own way to react and face the different situations but he transmigrates in his novel and he is not surprised at all? A little shocked maybe? Confused? Scared? No he is controlled and far too reasonable in accepting what it's happening. Where is the so called "Call Rejection" where the hero's first reaction is runnig away from his quest? No, he looks like he is holding on in every way in order to not show any emotion or to keep them at the minimum to reach the end. Even when he meets his mother and his friends in real life and he discovers they all play a character in his novel he lacks of reaction, emotion, I don't know. I feel like Cheng Yi wasn't able to put himself in this role, he was given a direction without the possibility to make the character his own like Li Lianhua. Cheng Yi has the power to have chemistry with everyone and everything, even with rocks. Do you see Li Lianhua and Di Feisheng? Did you see Xiao Ge and Wu Xie? And I could continue. However, I didn't see any chemistry between his character and the others.

Moreover, where is the comical part that is always present with the transmigration? Cheng Yi is the king of tragi-comical roles and I think this should be a tragi-comical role but instead the character is serious, always reasoning, always controlled. Yes he shows some lightly funny faces but it is very limited, at the minimum like I said.

Where is the evolution of the character where he realizes that the characters of his novel are not only characters but real people with feelings and emotions like it happens in Love Game in Easter Fantasy? Who is Xiao Ming Ming? Who are his friends beside being his roommates? What happened to his mother? He is so controlled for a reason? Ok I'm only at the 3rd episode but I feel something is missing. Everything flows too fast without a real logic but the rhythm is slow. The story is not engaging and grabbing like it should be.

It is just me? I can't see Cheng Yi in this drama, it's a pity and a waste of his talent. 😕

I got pretty fed up with looking for words to replace said because they weren’t sorted in a way I could easily use/find them for the right time. So I did some myself.

[fuckyeahcharacterdevelopment]

In addition to a little pizzazz in the dialogue tags, these are also super useful as part of the narration, or summing up/paraphrasing something that has been said, or even in a character’s dialogue as they describe how someone was talking!

"This world is rotten and those who are making it rot deserve to die. Someone has to do it, so why not me? Even if it means sacrificing my own mind and soul, it's worth it. Because the world... can't go on like this. I wonder... what if someone else had picked up this notebook? Is there anyone out there other than me who'd be willing to eliminate the vermin from the world? If I don't do it, then who will? That's just it: there's no one, but I can do it. In fact, I'm the only one who can. I'll do it. Using the death note, I'll change the world." 🍎

THE REST AT HOME

🎨🖌️

FROM THE STORY:

<<Du Cheng>> Shen Yi's voice stopped him a step away from the threshold. The Captain turned back.

<<Yeah>> he said trying to look cool and not extremely embarrassed.

Shen Yi gestured for him to come closer, Du Cheng followed him as always, as everytime and walked toward the artist's desk where Shen Yi was still sitting. He didn't stand up so Du Cheng leaned closer instinctively.

It was fast, unexpected but always hoped, Shen Yi grabbed him from the collar of his leather jacket and pulled him toward himself. Du Cheng found his lips sealed by Shen Yi's, not that he wanted to complain or something.

IN THE SUMMARY:

Du Cheng can help to be mesmerized by Shen Yi and the artist knows. What he does not know is that he is the only one who can affect the Captain so much.

DELICIOUS LOTUS ROOTS 🌸

From the story:

<<What if you took a break>> he murmured in his ear. He intentionally brushed his nose on Li Xiangyi's cheek who couldn't help to incline his head giving him a better access to the crook of neck like he always did when they were alone about to spend another hot night. He couldn't resist and Di Feisheng knew.

<<I have to work>> Li Xiangyi managed to reply, trying to not lean behind towards him.

<<Your mouth says no...>> he said brushing his nose along his neck. Li Xiangyi felt his lips moving on his skin and it made him shiver. It was impossible for Di Feisheng to not notice it. <<But your body is saying otherwise>> he kissed him, exactly under the ear.

[...]

<<Li Lianhua!>> called a known, young and bright voice. There was only one person who used that nickname. Said person stormed in the office without hesitation. <<I found a perfect place to have lunch, they cook amazing lotus roots>> Fang Duobing said smiling enthusiastically.

His smile froze but only for a second and it was immediately replaced by a not so embarrassed one. Actually Fang Duobing loved giving Di Feisheng an hard time so his expression was a mixture of embarrassment and boldness.

<<Ops>> he said while Hulijin popped out in the room.

In a summary:

Li Lianhua is a gremlin University teacher with a loquacious assistant with a bad timing and a sexy rich husband who is able to make all his defences crumble.

How it started VS How it's going

[thedreamerstoryteller]

I love the fact that Du Cheng always tries to protect Shen Yi not only from physical dangers but above all from psychological ones. He knows the artist his smart, Shen Yi's mind is able to see things that no one sees, it is able to literally draws patterns and paths where there is no one. Shen Yi, through his art, is able to go down the human mind and it is both amazing and extremely dangerous because it can make him lose himself.

For this reason Du Cheng is constantly worried about him, for this reason he refuses to sign Shen Yi's authorization to review old cases, for this reason he gets really angry with him because Shen Yi, following his mind and his talent, ends always up to act recklessly, not thinking about his one safety. And Du Cheng is aware that he won't be able to protect him from everything. He tells him "I can't promise you to arrive always on time".

He can't bear the thought to arrive late, he can think to lose him both physically and mentally.

"I'll be out for a couple of days, keep an eye on Shen Yi" he asks his colleague Yan.

He is afraid to lose him.

But "When exactly did he start to care so much for the little artist?" he probably asks himself every time the image of Shen Yi crosses his mind and above all "Why does he care so much? Why is he so afraid that something can happen to him?".

The Captain knows in his heart the answers to those questions but maybe he does not know how to process them.
