Winter Sonata....
Sigh, I'm just a sucker for drama serials that have beautiful music, in particular those that have a sad tinge to them, ie. in a minor key, slow, melodious. Hence, till date, my favourite drama serial is still Winter Sonata. The music is just fantastically depressing.
Why do I suddenly mention this?
Cause I'm currently re-watching it, courtesy of viv, who lent me her Winter Sonata vcd ages ago, but I've yet to sit down and watch it up till now. Just finished watching episode 7, when I just had to stop and write a poem, inspired by 'Xiang He'. For those people who don't know nuts about Winter Sonata, or haven't watched it before, GO WATCH IT!, and just bare with me for the moment.
Key people involved: You Zhen (f) , Ming Heng (m) , Xiang He (m).
Brief info: You Zhen and Xiang He are engaged to be married. Ming Heng is You Zhen's first love but due to some complicity, You Zhen doesn't know he is the same person, and neither does he.
'You Zhen' just saved 'Ming Heng' from a bunch of falling planks, and ended up in hospital. 'Xiang He', was though worried, very angry at her. He is those kind of very easy going person, who is always calm and cautious, hardly ever losing his temper. But at this point of time, he was so angry at her that he blurted out what he actually felt from his heart:
翔赫：你还是一样，不会否认。虽然我知道，但是我希望你跟我否认。
*sad piano music at the background*
有珍：翔赫。。。
翔赫：这不是俊祥的关系，而只是太巧合了。你不能这样告诉我吗？
*pause*
翔赫：我真得很讨厌你这么老实。
Just thinking about how intense the emotions that Xiang He, especially given his nature, was feeling when he said these words just made me have to write a poem about this...
Lie To Me -- by - Emptiness-
Please, just let me be,
Continue to lie to me.
Don’t cover hope’s frail gleam,
Don’t want to wake up from my dream.
I don’t want to hear the truth,
Only have so much of youth.
Where’s the difference between lie and truth,
I won’t know if you don’t give me proof.
Though some might think I’m nuts,
The fact is, I don’t have the guts,
To face the facts thrown at me,
From the truth I want to flee.
So, I beg, just heed my plea --
Don’t shatter my dream, just let me be.
Now, for me to continue watching Episode 8....
じゃ、また!
