Scarlet Heart 步步惊心
Tuesday, January 24, 2012 | 0 comments
Happy Chinese New Year! 新年快乐!龙年行大运!Recently finished a drama Scarlet Heart 步步惊心. Those who haven't watched it, please go watch! It's damn awesome. It's like you'll never hate any of the characters even if they did something that caused harm to others because the 出发点 of their actions are always because of love and friendship. It's such a sad story so the characters cry in every episode but you definitely wont feel that its cliche or stupid or dumb and you'll cry hard together with the characters too HAHA. How i wish someone could explain to me those chim words that they used you know like poetry style which i don't understand :X then i would be able to understand and appreciate the drama even more.
I just came back from 拜年 (since 9am) and visiting the River Hongbao so I'm really tired and will not write such a complete/detailed/proper post today...But I really hope that this post will successfully persuade more people to watch the drama, and people who have watched the drama would love this post ^^ NOTE: SPOILERS AHEAD
一眼之念 一念执着
注定就此飞蛾扑火
明知是祸 为何还不知所措
(若曦和四爷,八爷的爱都是一场祸,因为大家都是为了若曦才会互相残杀。。可是他们做的一切都是为了若曦,但所做的却伤害了对方,让若曦无法再呆在紫禁城)
最好不见 最好不念
如此才可不与你相恋
多一步的擦肩 就步步沦陷
是时间的过错
让我们只能错过
我多想念 你多遥远
早知道是苦果
这一刻也不想逃脱
可惜这字眼太刺眼
两个世界之后
只好 情深缘浅
(若曦和四爷其实深爱对方,可是当四爷能爱时,若曦却不爱。当若曦爱时,四爷无法爱。当四爷有权有势时,却因为若曦而让他们俩无法再像以前一样,只有若曦离开紫禁城她才能够放下一切,才不恨四爷,才能全心全意地爱四爷。可是四爷属于紫禁城,若曦却无法待在紫禁城里。所以真的是时间的过错。)
一眼之念 一念执着
注定就此飞蛾扑火
明知是祸 为何还不知所措
最好不见 最好不念
如此才可不与你相恋
多一步的擦肩 就步步沦陷
(合)是时间的过错
让我们只能错过
我多想念 你多遥远
早知道是苦果
这一刻也不想逃脱
可惜这字眼太刺眼
两个世界之后
是时间的过错 我们只能错过
我有多么想念 你有多遥远
早知道结局是不能抗拒的错
停留在这一刻 不想逃脱
(合)是时间的过错
让我们只能错过
我多想念 你多遥远
早知道是苦果
这一刻也不想逃脱
可惜这字眼太刺眼
两个世界之后
只好 情深缘浅
停在这里不敢走下去
让悲伤无法上演
下一页你亲手写上的离别
由不得我拒绝
这条路我们走得太匆忙
拥抱着并不真实的欲望
来不及等不及回头欣赏
木兰香遮不住伤
不再看天上太阳透过云彩的光
不再找约定了的天堂
不再叹你说过的人间世事无常
借不到的三寸日光
那天堂是我爱过你的地方
Okay I decided to put this above video (live performance) instead of the fanmade MV because I swear 若曦 and 四爷 are really damn cute! (Refer to 0:48) 四爷 likes to hit 若曦's head and in return 若曦 would hit his head back (in the later episodes) and she also went to pull his 辫子 and etc.
The whole story is so sad because. Ruoxi was in trouble, 八爷 can only help her but it affected 十三. Because 四爷 wanted to help 十三 and 若曦, he needs to become the emperor (when you see how desperate and disappointed he was with himself just because he had no power and could do nothing to save the people he cares when 十三 was punished...it's really damn sad. it's the reason why he wants power so badly) But when he got power and saved the people he cared about, he started to do things which he think would help 若曦 but actually made 若曦 to be in a difficult position, because people beg her to beg him to let them off. She realised that everything was her fault because everything that people did was because of her but their actions caused the brothers to fight with each other.
She decides to leave the Forbidden City because that way, she would no longer be angry over the things that 四爷 does against his brothers. She would then be able to put down hatred and love him fully. But the problem is that 四爷 is the emperor and he has to be in the Forbidden City. (hais)
But having power is so useless because the people that 四爷 cared about all left him soon after all the problems are solved and be became so lonely :( The saddest thing was when 若曦 died. Even though she was with 十四, she never once loved him, and 四爷 didnt even get to see her before she left.
The most important thing is that power caused 四爷 and 八爷 to both lose 若曦。Power is useful only when you need it, but after you've used it and if you didn't use it properly, everyone will leave you, and you'll be left alone right at the top. If either of them did not want power, things would not have ended that way.
I really love this drama a lot, planning to watch it a second time with English subs this time, and maybe read the novel next time. (: But I doubt I have the time to do so once I get into JC. Since i touched on the topic, I really hope that MJ won't drop in COP again. Hais. Really please please please i swear i will study ten thousand times harder once i get into MJ. I'm feeling sad and worried every single day thinking about JAE results. Because I know that even if i can secure a place in MJ, I will not feel happy too. But I just want to get into a JC; so i'll make do with the unhappiness after that. I just want to say, even if I get into MJ, my heart will still be with TJ. I will never be happy even if i can get into MJ. But I just want to get into MJ and I will use this unhappiness to drive results because I never wanted results to force me to go somewhere/do something that I never wanted to.
That's all for today's post; I'm going to do some stuff.. Oh I'm reading 那些年我们一起追的女孩 and probably rewatching the movie once i finish the book (: Then I may do a blog post about it ^^ I wish all of you Happy Chinese New Year again!
