New Breath of Love - Memorable Lines

Telephone Call
"There are many coincidences in life, even two parallel lines will eventually cross." - Tsui Hoi

Telephone Call
"How many turns will fate take before we meet?" - Tsui Hoi

Telephone call at Jing Wei's workplace
"Where are you?" - Jing Wei
"In your heart." - Tsui Hoi

Outside the concert at the ARK
"Are you alone Miss?" - Tsui Hoi
"I'm waiting for my boyfriend." - Jing Wei
"Your boyfriend was wrong to have you wait like this." - Tsui Hoi
"Yes, he is really bad." - Jing Wei
"Why do you want such a bad boyfriend? What do you think about me? Do I qualify to be your boyfriend?" - Tsui Hoi
"I'm very hard to get. I'm very conservative and bad tempered." - Jing Wei
"No problem. I really like your type of girl. But I don't know if you like guys of my type." - Tsui Hoi
"You're not bad. You're better looking than he is and more caring, but most importantly you appeared at just the right time." - Jing Wei
"That is great! What are we waiting for?" - Tsui Hoi
(HUG)
"I really like having you hug me." - Jing Wei
"Sorry" - Tsui Hoi
"It doesn't matter, because I forget all about it when you hug me" - Jing Wei
"I want to keep hugging you but the concert will be over. Let's go in." - Tsui Hoi

Tsui Hoi's shelf shot video pleading for forgiveness
"You can hit and yell at me but you can't ignore me"

The Seventh Day - Episode 9

At the end of this episode the narrator quotes the following...

"Separation is to wait for reuniting,

Love that has experienced hardships,

is permanent,

and is the beginning of true love"

The Seventh Day - Episode 20

This is a translation of what the billboard says at the end of the series...

God created everything in this world
And he created seven days
He placed the most beautiful things in this world
Before our eyes
Therefore, while you are alive
No matter what you experience
As long as you know how to cherish it
Then everything can be the most beautiful

What he said here makes complete sense to me and brings the entire series to a nice close.

Embracing Air - The Seventh Day Subtheme

最美麗的第七天片尾曲 - 抱著空氣 by 鄭嘉穎 (Kevin Cheng) and 周麗淇 (Niki Chow)

K:談情時太美妙 但是已經告別了
Our love was too magical, (MV - Have you kissed me today yet? [Niki]) but it has now come to an end.
痛愛每天困擾 是沒法可預料
The annoyance of painful love everyday was so unpredictable.

N: 愛上你太奧妙 為甚要開這玩笑
Falling in love with him was too subtle, why is this joke being played on us?
看痛苦的破曉 伴著我的合照
Seeing pain’s daybreak and becoming a part of our picture.

KN:*曾快樂曾相戀 曾擁抱吻著你 曾吵架曾生氣
We were happy and in love. We kissed when we embraced. We argued and we got mad.

N:如今一一記起
Now, I remember our every moment

KN:如果心仍不死 容許我 掛念你
If my heart still beats, it will allow me to remember you

K:明知道迷戀你
You know I’m deeply in love with you.

KN:而可惜沒法擺脫別離 抱著空氣*
Too bad there is no way to avoid our separation….we embrace the air

(MV - If I'm not here one day, will you fall in love with someone else? [Niki])
(MV - Of course ... {nodding head} .... not! [Kevin])

K:說再見那暗示 現實要捨棄情意
Saying good bye is a hint, reality wants to give up our love

N:但是我想你知 事實我很在意
But I want you to know that I do really care.

Repeat *

(MV - Have you ever thought about our future)

This MV and song goes really well with the series and together we appreciate both the series and and song more. It has been viewed over 300 000 times on YouTube and that is the highest ever on TVB's YouTube Channel and the themesong video has been viewed over 100 000 times, the second highest! From this we can see the popularity of the series in the younger population since it is us who log onto YouTube and watch videos. I can see this series not really appealing to the older population which drew the viewership rating down...but I loved it so much.

The Seventh Day - Theme Video

最美麗的第七天 by Kevin Cheng (鄭嘉穎)

在這天這一分鐘遇你
On this day at this minute I met you
望向街中的感覺很美
Looking into the street, everything felt perfect
下一秒 未準備
At the next second, without any preparation
未適應兜兜轉轉像戲
Not accustomed to going around in circles like a game

越過空間差一些運氣
Walking through spaces without much luck
下意識的心想碰到你
Hoping to bump into you
剩低我 在這地
Leaving me alone in this world
離別終捉到珍惜道理
Separation has enabled me to understand the meaning of cherish

＊七天空間交錯　似千次遠離
7 days have passed, it's like a thousand good byes...　
一天呼吸使我在回味那空氣
Breathing a day of fresh air allows me to recall the air　
七天終必希冀　記憶再儲起
The end of the seven days will be magical, and saved in my memories　
心中一生的美是曾遇你 ＊
Beauty in my life lies in my heart because I met you.

在你身邊匆匆的掠過
Passing by your side hastly,
未有開口擔心會出錯
Worrying about saying the wrong words,
未敢愛 再等待
Don't dare to love so I'll wait here
重疊的空間終雙覓愛
Spaces of overlap end this seeking relationship.

Repeat＊

花一生的福氣為重遇你
Spending the fortune of my entire life to meet you again.

Though this themesong isn't as catchy as the theme of Under The Canopy of Love, it is still very good. I didn't like it as much at first, but then it does really catch on.

Oldies - Heart of Greed

Old songs featured on TVB's Heart of Greed...I have heard of most of these but some of them are new to me. I particularly like numbers 2, 3, and 11...but they are all good. It is definitely one of my favourite scenes of Heart of Greed.

1. [陳百強] 漣漪 (Ripple)
...Life was calm and quiet like the lake waters, but you've induced some life into it. Because of the ripple you have caused, smiles and laughter have appeared...
2. [許冠杰] 難忘你 (Hard To Forget You)
...It's hard to forget your posture and movements, the concentration in your eyes. It's hard to forget your teasing smile, like spring's sunlight, and your backside moving quickly...
3. [趙學而] 每隔兩秒 (Every 2 Seconds) - Trivia: She played "Moon's" (2nd Son's) first wife in Virtues of Harmony
...I think of you every 2 seconds, but I don't know how to make your heart happy. I think of you every 2 seconds, completely forgeting about myself...
4. [陳百強] 戀愛預告 (Love's Advance Notice)
...I hate you because you don't know, but I'm willing to remain in a lover's dream, leaving a lasting mark. Outside the window, the clouds in the sky are full of enticing musical notes. In the night sky, the stars say to the moon, sweetness is love's advance notice...
5. [蔡齡齡] 細水長流 (For Eternity)
...If your eyes are like the deep sea, you've already sank me deep down. Who made fall in love? Do you know?...
6. [譚詠麟] 情是永願著迷 (Love is Always Attractive)
...Only because I have you, everything seems to be perfect. Love is eternally attractive, never destructive. Only because I love you, sweetness fills my heart. Willing to hold the sunset so it can be together with the night wind...
7. [張學友] 暗戀你 (Crush on you)
...Who is able to give you warmth and comfort every night? When I am silently in the darkness? Reality is like that and dreams won't have it any longer. As long as you know, it is enough...
8. [林志美] 偶遇 (Meeting)
...Watching, watching at you, coming and going, just like a rainbow disappating. Which day will enable us to meet once again?...
9. [張學友] 月半彎 (Crescent Moon)
...Allow me to rest upon your shoulders, allow me to speak the words at the bottom of my heart, the beauty and warms of love. My dreams are all about you...
10. [陳百強] 有了你 (With You)
...With you, I feel more joyful. I want to see you everyday, even in the wind and rain, in the fierest thunderstorms, there is a sense of loneliness if we see each other even one second less. With you, I feel relaxed and leisured. Even falling becomes funny when I'm happy. My heart wants to become birds and fish with you to live in an open and free world. My heart wants to become birds and fish with you to live in an open and free world...

Moonlight Resonance (溏心風暴之家好月圓) Subtheme - 愛不疚 by 林峰 (Raymond Lam)

愛不疚 (Not Enough Love) - 林峰 (Raymond Lam)

收藏在眼眸　常徘徊左右　愛猜到沒有
Hidden in the pupil of the eye, always by your side, love to guess at it　
愉快玩笑後　能全然退後　你開心就夠
After the happiness and laughter, I am able to completely retreat, your happiness is enough.

這種感覺太親厚　講一千句也不夠
This feeling is too familiar, a thousand sentences is not enough,
假使講了你聽到後　或會走　
What if you leave after I tell you,
這種戀愛太罕有　不須真正擁有
This feeling of love is too rare, you don't actually have to have it　
成全　衷心祝福然後　就放手
After giving your wishes, truthfully and wholeheartedly, I let go.

放手　放開所有　彼此更自由
Letting go, letting go of all I got, let there be freedom　
放手　其實我絕非愛得不夠
Letting go, though it does not mean I don't love you enough　
放手　豁出所有　還有這個好友　
Letting go, let go of it all, let us still be friends
已經　已經足夠
That is, that is enough

遙遠是宇宙　靜靜在背後　去看守就夠　
As far away as the stars, I'm quietly behind you, watching over you, that is enough

這種感覺太親厚　講一千句也不夠
This feeling is too familiar, a thousand sentences is not enough,　
即使一剎有過衝動　挽你手
Even though at one point I had the urge to grab your hand　
這種戀愛太罕有　不須真正擁有
This feeling of love is too rare, you don't actually have to have it　　
成全　多捨不得仍然　是放手
Giving my best wishes, though I will miss you, is to let go

放手　放開所有　彼此更自由
Letting go, letting go of all I got, let there be freedom　
放手　其實我絕非愛得不夠
Letting go, though it does not mean I don't love you enough　　
放手　豁出所有　還有這個好友　
Letting go, let go of it all, let us still be friends
已經　已經足夠　
That is, that is enough

放手　我的牽掛　找不到盡頭　
Letting go, my worrying never ends
放手　期望你幸福甚麼都有　
Letting go, expecting that you will be happy and have everything
也許 愛很深厚　然而我早看得透　
Perhaps the love is so deep, however I actually saw it clear
放手　至可擁有
Letting go, the only way to have

Moonlight Resonance Relationships - Revised

After watching 9 episodes of MR and enjoying the series, here is the correct map of relationships.

Heart of Greed 溏心風暴 Subtheme - 心領 by 林峰/鍾嘉欣 (Raymond Lam/Linda Chung)

心領
作曲：鄧智偉　　
填詞：陳詩慧
主唱：林峰/鍾嘉欣

Ｒ：或許戀愛都只有煙火那刻的璀璨，
如此簡單，快樂不多於一晚。
內心總有限束縛怎可不驚嘆，
然後發現情或許轉淡。

Ｌ：越討好你就換來傷心痛哭多一晚，如此貪玩，
厭舊貪新我心淡，是否早注定體貼都不會得到稱讚，
怕熱愛已退減。

*R+L：誰願稀罕這愛情，從未甘心因我轉性，
其實清楚這過程，就算犧牲不會高興，已心領。*

Ｒ：什麼戀愛的感覺始終有它的限期，隨心歡喜，
放任心中不止你，受種種責備， 逼我放肆敷衍你，
其實已盡全力喜歡你。

Ｌ：並不必暗示感覺一早已熄，多得你，
從今天起，我亦不稀罕等你，
獨身的趣味不怕即使抱擁得空氣，我亦懶去記起～

REPEAT *

R: Never meant to be cruel, Never meant to hurt you...

L: Hey~~~~

R+L: 誰願稀罕這愛情

R+L: 從未甘心因我轉性，

R: 其實清...楚... L: 其實清楚這過程，
R: 我知，無謂去纏住我，無謂再去打聽，L: 就算犧牲不會高興
R+L: 已心領。

R+L: 無謂發現情或許轉淡，無謂發現情或許轉淡～

Here is a translation I found on someone else's blog...translated by MetalAZNWarrior

R: Perhaps with love, there’s just fire and smoke that marks passion,
If it’s this simple to be happy, it won’t take more than one night
Within the heart, there are boundaries. How can I not be frightened?
Then, I discovered that perhaps the feelings have faded

L: Even more, I beg you to exchange the many nights of sadness, pain, and tears with me
If you want to play all of the time,
Being tired of the old and greedy for the new, my heart grows weary
Is it destined that being caring will not receive praises
Fearing the passionate love has already diminished

Chorus
*T: Who is willing to cherish this love,
Not willing to change yourself because of me,
Actually, after understanding this process,
Realizing that sacrifices won’t lead to happiness,
It’s been appreciated*

R: Any love left has reached its expiration,
What the heart desires is not just you
With so many reprisals, it forces me to humor you
In truth, throughout, I still absolutely love you

L: Likewise, don’t suggest that the feelings from early on were extinguished
Thanks to you, starting today,
I also won’t hold on to waiting for you,
The pleasures of being single, even if unafraid of holding the air,
I will not bother to remember

Repeat Chorus

R: Never meant to be cruel, never meant to hurt you…

T: Who is willing to cherish this love,
Not willing to change yourself because of me

(Simultaneously)
R: Actually… clearly…
I know
No use bothering me,
No use inquiring again,
It’s been appreciated
L: Actually, after understanding this process,
Realizing that sacrifices won’t lead to happiness,
It’s been appreciated

T: Senselessly, perhaps we discovered that feelings fade,
Senselessly, perhaps we discovered that feelings fade

This video is so awesome...I wish to karaoke this some day, I know all the words (15 years of chinese school pays off you know)...lol...I dunno if anyone wants to hear me sing...still looking for someone to be 'Linda'...

A video comment on youtube prompt me to do some investigative work on Ray and Linda. I found that Raymond studied architecture too! Well first year...I guess he couldn't handle the stress :P...I also read that he comes from a rich family in Mainland China but education is important regardless of your family background.

Moonlight Resonance Relationships

For anyone who has trouble understanding the Chinese in the image posted a few days ago, I've translated the captions to English...

There is something that I'm not too sure of, that is the relationship between Louise and Susanna. It can be translated as siblings (sister-sister) or close friends (female-female). I'm not sure why Raymond is the son of Louise but Fala isn't but Raymond and Fala are siblings...weird...maybe they just missed that connection...unless it means close friend (older male-younger female)....that could work with the Raymond and Tavia relationship too...there is a lot ambiguity...so we'll just have to wait and see...
