    @deminni Yes, while doing the comparison I really thought WJ's dress after eps. 44 looks really nice and somehow more ostentatious than his usual clothing then my imagination run wild, hahaha. But yeah it's possible ZM do dress him and WJ will definitely let her do whatever she wanted:wub: That's also why I think he didn't wear it again, even though I really like his 2nd last one, It probably hurts too much to think that ZM gave that to him:bawling:

    @sophiesyc Yes, she did change clothes a lot, but some I think they reuse some of the dress, the one in Lu Liu manor was reuse during eps 42, Mongolian dress the white one was reuse quite a few times, the blue one where she said goodbye to WJ also was reuse before in eps 40. That hotpot dress was also reuse in eps 44 for the flashback how she got XX's hair. I didn't include when they were using farmer's and fisherman disguise since it doesn't matter to what they want to convey who ZM is as a character.

     

    I'm glad all of you enjoy the dress comparison, ZM dress really stands out if you compare to other girls and most characters, except RYW and WBB I guess, they also have very elaborate and design heavy costume and very deep color. Not like most characters that mostly has light color and no pattern and embroidery at all in their dress. So yah I really enjoy the costume department attention to detail to show difference between royalty and the normal/pugilist people.

    Also if you pay attention to their hair, most of them always have braids, the one with hair anyway hahaha. I guess the styling department really like braids^_^

     

    Edit:

    @deminni I love your fic, please torture WJ more B) Even though he probably give the bust hugs that man deserve torture for making MM suffer so much^_^

    I hope this is not too much to ask, wondering if you can do all the screen shots of WJ and ZM's wardrobes.  I know it requires a lot of you times.  I tried and failed miserable.  It's okay if you find this is too much works. :) I really love the 2nd last white outfit that WJ's wearing.  He looks the best, very handsome like a gentleman scholar.

    Who is same as me? Really love and miss the bickering between them before they become really lovey dovey. 

    Somehow feel like both become different persons after they decided go against all odds to be together. Really salute to their acting skills

    I loves both the bickering and lovey dovey scenes, indeed great acting skills from them.  Just wish we have more episodes of them to watch.   Do you know if weibo's fans still insist or make request for the production company to release the DVD uncut version?  I think their request should be very effective.  Just like when they complained about the slow motions in the beginning episodes, and they did make the adjustment after that.

    Come to think of it WJ is very touchy with MM since the beginning. He also slays sneaking those stares at her.

     

    i like that on snake island he’s taking care of her in a loving way that it’s so obvious to his god father that he likes MM. it must be so awkward to everyone watching them declaring how much they will protect each other when MM thought they wouldn’t survive. They acted like it was just the two of them there, kind of cute. 

    You got it right!  lol... who can come up with an idea to tickle a lady's foot on their 3rd odds meeting?  Only ZWJ can just like ZM saying it out loud.:D

    I keep watching the sweeping rice scene, Wuji eyes was something to die for while watching her work, and listening intently at her when she say she is alright and can do labor job. He look worried because he knows she is lying so as not to worry him and delay the journey to save XX. And the porridge!!!! Is it really so sweet?! I must kill my husband if he complain about my cooking again! 

    The porridge is probably burned and overcooked like ZM stated but is still tasty to him.  Ah..the power of love.:lol: I don't think he ever compliment ZZR's cooking even thought she have good cooking skills.

    I actually cannot re-watch their kissing scene because of the awkwardness and the poor choppy editing, but I agree that a kiss is better than no kiss. In contrast, I could replay their night scene at the farmhouse a zillion times. After WJ says, "Thank you Min Min", their eyes gazing into each other completely melts by heart. I love how ZM puts her head on his shoulders. Then WJ puts his arms around her, pulls her in closer and smiles. The camera pans out and he kisses her cheek/forehead. SWOON... Another scene I can replay is of WJ making the hairpin. When he was done and ready to gift it to ZM, he had such a cute smile on his face. He seemed so proud of the hairpin (as he should be) and excited to give it to ZM. And it was beautiful to see ZM so happy as WJ put the hairpin on her...as if he had just put a ring on it!

    I also repeated those two scenes you mentioned a zIillion times plus the kissing scene.:lol:  I  love the way WJ treated ZM once he make the decision to be with her.   The tone he speak to her are super gentle and sweet. His body language and the warmth in those beautiful eyes. Melting:love:  I remembered in the earlier episodes that ZM complained to WJ that he treated her harsh whereas he treating the other girls gentle.  She requested for equal treatment.  Her wishes come true and more.

    The slow motion really enhances everything. Um. Is it getting hot in here or is it just me? :flushed:

     

    Love that #2 is so intimate, #3 is HOT (my God Joseph!), and I kind of love that his eyes are opened in #7 like he's checking on her and then resumes the kissing haha. Yes to open mouth kissing, but also did you guys notice how pretty the lighting is? It's that soft touch that makes the scene so sweet and tender.

     

    A bit of a side note, but it's so weird for me seeing Joseph like this when he was such an insolent, but adorable child in Take My Brother Away. Like complete 180. Which to me is so commendable on Joseph's part as an actor because I was kind of watching both dramas at the same time, and I was worried his role in TMBA would make me take WJ's character not as serious, but nope. Joseph made WJ exactly as WJ should be and Joseph's Shi Fen was exactly how SF should be. I never mixed the two characters at all or thought Joseph was just acting, but in a different setting. His range is actually quite broad and impressive for a newbie actor.

     Do you mind give a little synopsis on Take My Brother Away?  Did you like it?  Do you recommend the series?

    These are sweet!

     

    I recommend #2 (their noses slide past each others :) ) and the last few (she does seem to open her mouth a little, so it looks better in slow motion)

     

    I read the comment that in AOL she was doing great on the kiss scenes but maybe she's supposed to be sick in this episode, or just really inexperienced so they got them to do an amateur kiss scene?  Cute in some ways, but I wouldn't mind a repeat kiss scene where they make it look... well, like more fun! ;)

     

    Like some of you pointing out if only she open her mouth just a little more then WJ don't have to work so hard on the kiss. :lol:  Agreed, the director probably wanted to demonstrated that both WJ and MM are innocent and inexperienced.  Obviously it's their first kiss.

    No complaints about the kissing scene because I was definitely not expecting one, just maybe the cheek kiss, which I find super adorable. So I'm going to count our blessings on that.

     

    This is going down as a classic for me. I wish it was more successful in China but at least it wasn't a fail. Really appreciate this series. I would really appreciate it more if they release the cuts :phew:.

    I know I'm getting a bit ridiculous because I had a dream about this couple last night. I was like, wait. This is crazy. But ehhh. Ill embrace it. :joy: It's probably because I watch the mVs before going to bed.

    I'm actually still waiting for Eng subs to complete so I can really watch it.

    Agreed with you on the kissing scene, I wasn't expecting one too so it's a bonus for me.  

     

    You're not being ridiculous, I dream about this couple many times already since the series ended.  I'm not kidding at all, re watched too many episodes and MVs side effects.  

     

    I also loves to look at ZZR facial expressions every time WJ addressed her as Mrs. Song.

    Lol. she asked for it, always trying to bring up her being married to SQS.  Probably testing to see if WJ is jealous or not.

    Well, WJ seems to me as someone who tends to keep sticking to what he knows (or thinks he know) when it comes to love matter or personal matter. He tend to take the safe route type of person and less bold compared to ZM. He prefer to stick to familiarity or comfort safe zone when it comes to love before he finally decided to be brave when it comes to love and fight for his relationship with ZM openly.

     

      I believed he himself was super confused with what's lying ahead of him: "evidences or crime scenes" planted by ZR all pointed to ZM as the culprit behind the "death" of YL. He had no other evidence to support otherwise.  He himself might not want to believe it,  but what he "had" in front of him told him otherwise. Being a naive person, he had no other choice or, I even think he might not even have the courage to believe his gut feeling that ZM is innocent. So he sticks with what he "knew". 

     

    This is why I am super glad this version make him a better, more decisive character. I don't think i would like the WJ in the novel. Perhaps I am older now,  but men (and women) who flip flopped and cannot decide to whom their heart, trust, and loyalty belong to, they who cannot give a peace of mind to their partners regarding their attitudes and commitment toward their relationship irk me, just like women (and men) who always victimized themselves, who threatened to hurt themselves to keep the person they loved for themselves made me rolled my eyes so hard. So glad this Wuji (eventually) showed more backbone when it comes to his love.

     

    My takes on his cheerful attitudes at Wudang. When they went to Wudang,  he was finally meeting his grand shifu and uncles,  with the "perfect" fiancee that will satisfy his extended families,  even though deep inside he was really hesitant. He puts filial piety at a great importance, especially when it comes to his loved ones. I would say it's more understandable that he can be cheery when he reunited with his Wudang family.  To see his family safe and happy would make filial son like WJ happy.. 

     

    Although, he was not smiling so widely that his perfect teeth are showing proudly when the D-Day of his almost  wedding to ZR, which he didn't really want was upon him. He cannot put aside the reality by focusing on other happy things (e.g reunion with wudang family after so long).  I guess reality came crashing down that day that he would have to really let go of ZM. In contrast when he was standing with ZM in front of the "shuang shi" symbol,  where he was grinning like a mad man lol. These differences when standing in front of his bride-to-be are the most important hahaha :love:

     

    Thanks Lauren for translating and the GIFs. On the scene where they were holding hands, where they were at/close to Shaolin, right before they saw ZR and SQS, their chemistry really shines there for me. It's an example when I said that chemistry is more than just reciting sweet romantic lines.. On the GIF of this scene,  WJ was smiling so widely as they enter the courtyard. Then their eyes met and both of them bow their heads a bit and both have that shy smiles. They really acted out the roles of two young people in love and just go public type of things naturally. These kind of bits that make me really enjoy MM and WJ chemistry in this version :wub:

     

     

    To cheer everyone up (hopefully):

    On a happier note,  I found short comic strip on weibo.  Seems cute based on google translate. Credit to owner. This shouod be the same author/weibo account that Jackie shared. This piece is my favorite.

    Also,  cute answer from Joseph to answer about his collections (?). He mentioned that in the drama, his favorite thing is ZM gold box while in real life ate shoes (?? Sorry if this is wrong translation). Smart answer there :D(disclaimer: i am not sure if the screenshot is from convo with WJ.  Seems like it?  Not familiar wirh weibo. Credit belongs to the owner please.

    Peace all :blush:

    Loves reading your analyzed.  One more thing I like to add is when they were visiting Wudang, WJ didn't plan to marry ZZR anytime soon, right?  She's only his fiance, so he can still smile and laugh all he want, no pressure yet.:lol:  Remember he told XX and ZR at Snake Island that he wanted to wait 3 years before marrying her due to YL (1st wife) death.    Even thought YL ending up still alive they didn't have to rush the wedding neither.  WJ always find excuses like country/peoples/goals etc. more priorities than man and woman feelings until pathetic ZZR faked the suicide then grandfather pressured him to marry her right away to avoid gossip.

    Indeed, zzr like to backstab so much, yet he said she didn't, angry!!!! 

     

    Now i watch epi 40

    He announced his marriage with zzr to wudang elders. How come I feel like the happiness level looks the same as when ming sect push him to go through wedding with ZM at last episode 

     

    Lol. Make myself upset again. Actually purposely watch those hateful episodes are just to try to see if i can catch some moments of WJ missing ZM but end up getting myself angry lol

    Lol...I can't make myself to re watch those 2 episodes, don't want to vomiting blood.  One time view is good enough for me even though I love Joseph.  My guess he pretended to be happy in front of those wudang elders plus he and MM already break up.  Just accept his faith and try to treat ZZR nice.

    I just rewatch episode 38, the part where zzr keep accusing ZM... And after zwj bump into zm and still continue to accuse her. I feel so upset. Even though he said before, "even if he cannot find the truth forever, he will still believe her" , and also that phenomenon kiss. I can't let go of the fact that zwj never tell zm the truth (or is it that producer cut that scene away) 

     

    I want an explanation!!!! Hahaha 

    He must apologise for ever trying to strangle her!!! Hahaha 

     

    Sorry guys, for being so emotional lol

     

    :(:(:(

    I'm more upset when WJ told MM that ZZR is not the type of people that like to accuse/back stab other people.  Why he lies for ZZR?:angry:

     

    Edited:

     

    At lease he didn't slap then strangled her like some other versions.:phew:
