I have been obsessed with listening, and occasionally watching, song clips from Super Vocal recently.
Yes, yes - everyone who likes 周深 Zhou Shen had recommended to watch the whole thing multiple times, but I never had any desire to expand beyond Zhou Shen until recently.
Maybe it was seeing 刘宪华 Henry Lau's expressions as he watched other people sing.
Such a cutie. A polyglot polymath cutie with really nice abs (you all saw the movie Double World, yah?)
Or maybe it was Zheng Yunlong (I still don't think he's fair. Nothing about Zheng Yunlong is fair. Not his height, not his face, not his singing. It's just not fair. Especially when they put him in costume. Any costume. Or do his hair. Any hairstyle. )
And it's all been incredibly wonderfully ... gay? Since they only have men on the show, all the duets have been between guys. They didn't even bother changing the lyrics to pretend they were singing about girls -- it's just "Oh, 哥 big brother, I miss you" etc. So awesome.
And the men are so wonderfully put together. And talented.
Anyway, I highly recommend it. Everyone was right - Super-Vocal is totally worth listening to / watching. (Maybe someday I'll get to watch the entire thing instead of just listening at work.)

Back to my Masterlist.
i am once again thinking about lan zhan, lan wangji, hanguang jun, lan er gege and literally how he's the best boy ever
Some important (I feel) tonal tuning and a little more anti-slang.

My new favorite passage describing a character is from ch 337 of 2Ha, describing Jiang Xi:
他的打扮永远让人觉得他在说:“我很有钱,欢迎来抢”,但是没有人抢得了他。
His style of dressing always led people to feel he was saying, “I am very rich. You are welcome to rob me,” but no was ever able to rob him.
他那张俊脸上好像也写着:“想睡我吗,我知道你想”,但没有人能睡得了他。
That handsome face of his also seemed to announce “You want to sleep with me. I know you want to,” but no one was ever able to sleep with him.
(Translations are mine. You can tell because they are very bad and don’t convey just how clever this passage is. Translating is hard!)
I want to read every entry on this site! I just found it today, and it explained the BETSUNI i’ve been hearing so much in video games and couldn’t figure out!!!
I expect a LOT of phrases this site goes through would help clarify confusion I’ve been having. It’s a nice site.
♥️
Chinese is so fun. 让他追在我后面跑 I think translates better to “make him run away, but I’ll be in front so he’ll be chasing behind me.”
More under the cut.
And that’s it! The whole story.
Thank you for reading with me.

So, I guess that answers my question about when the live-action 2Ha will be released.
I gotta love that production team for trying!!!
Reminder for us fans who haven’t been following this adaptation: the live-action version is called Immortality (皓衣行, Hào Yī Xíng).
i know everyone anguishes over the fact that hyx will probably never see the light of day but the fact that it got filmed at all is a miracle in itself like how did the director read “student becomes a genocidal dictator and forces former teacher to become his sex slave” and go “yeah i can make that pass censorship”
And here are the deleted scenes from Your Name Engraved Herein, with English subs!
