The Unforgettable Character's Song "On The Other Side Of The Water"

Here's the song that was sung in the Qiong Yao drama (and movie) where Qin Han starred as the leading guy. While his leading lady in the movie was Brigitte Lin, his leading lady in the series was Liu Xuehua.

Below is the lyrics of the song with the original Chinese, pinyin and English translation for non-Chinese speakers.

在水一方 (zai shui yi fang)
On The Other Side Of The Water

綠草蒼蒼白霧茫茫
(lu cao cang cang, bai wu mang mang)
Deep green grass, endless white fog
有位佳人在水一方
(you wei jia ren, zai shui yi fang)
A beautiful lady is on the other side of the water
綠草萋萋白霧迷離
(lu cao qi qi, bai wu mi li)
Green grass thinning out, white fog getting blurry
有位佳人靠水而居
(you wei jia ren, kao shui er ju)
A beautiful lady lives by the waterside.

我願逆流而上依偎在她身旁
(wo yuan ni liu er shang, yi wei zai ta shen pang)
I am willing to go against the current, cuddling next to her
無奈前有險灘道路又遠又長
(wu nai qian you xian tan, dao lu you yuan you chang)
Pity that there are rapid beaches, and paths far and long
我願順流而下找尋她的方向
(wo yuan shun liu er xia, zhao xun ta de fang xiang)
I am willing to go downstream to pursue her direction
卻見依稀仿佛她在水的中央
(que jian yi xi fang fu, ta zai shui de zhong yang)
As if vaguely seeing her stand in the middle of the water

我願逆流而上與她輕言細語
(wo yuan ni liu er shang, yu ta qing yan xi yu)
I am willing to go against the current, and speak to her softly
無奈前有險灘道路曲折無已
(wu nai qian you xian tan, dao lu qu zhe wu yi)
Pity that there are rapid beaches, and endless rugged roads
我願順流而下找尋她的蹤跡
(wo yuan shun liu er xia, zhao xun ta de zong ji)
I am willing to go downstream to seek her wherabouts
卻見仿佛依稀她在水中處以
(que jian yi xi fang fu, ta zai shui zhong chu yi)
As if vaguely seeing her stand in the middle of the water

綠草蒼蒼白霧茫茫
(lu cao cang cang, bai wu mang mang)
Deep green grass, endless while fog
有位佳人在水一方
(you wei jia ren, zai shui yi fang)
A beautiful lady is on the other side of the water

"Light The Night's" Finale (Spoilers Ahead)

SpikyTV I guess the series just kept us guessing, right? I finally got the chance to finish it after some busy nights. I was right that the killer was HANA (Esther Liu) BUT there's a twist - it was more of voluntary manslaughter than murder. Manslaughter is when one kills out of the heat of passion and that's what Hana did twice in the story. Hana had one against a client who used her and another against Sue after some unfortunate insanity attack. Hana ends up planning to hand herself over but her lover commits murder (towards a character named Chiang An) to protect her. The whole psychological thriller for me just didn't match up to what I wanted. I guess I was too used to how Victim's Game rolled out. I was expecting some real murder scheme. Instead, it was the anti-climatic manslaughter where Hana decides to hand herself to the authorities after what she did. I really still think that the finale wasn't worth too much of the wait. I was expecting something gran

I Just Finished "My Golden Life"

I finally finished My Golden Life which I was hesitant to watch. 52 one-hour long episodes? I was thinking it was easier to watch the Wuxia series that had 40+ minutes per episode such as Princess Weiyang which was quite long. A lot of episodes of My Golden Life would have a few minutes more depending on the coverage of the episode. So, I'm done and I never thought I'd actually finish it since I'm way too used to short K-Dramas. This one was rather long but it was rather entertaining in many ways. I was thinking about how Shin Hye Sun actually did well with on-screen partner Park Si Hoo. Sometimes, I'd like to joke about how they had a chemistry that looked good and felt good. Looked good? Both aren't attractive and I often joke how Hye Sun's face feels melted or how she was rightfully matched with Lee Jong Suk in Hymn of Death . Hye Sun isn't pretty but she really makes up with her good acting and likability. The same goes for Si Hoo with how he acts out hi

Just Finished "My Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (Some Spoilers)

This is another Wuxia series finished. I was having some expectations broken. The show can be full of spoilers when discussed even further. In fact, some characters are walking spoilers. If you're not ready to be spoiled - DON'T READ. If not, you can read further. I feel the show had some plot twists and turns. Besides, maybe some of the villains in this show weren't as evil as you think. Emperor Liancheng is an antagonist but dies before the show can end. Liancheng may have some idiotic obsession with Ma Fuya. It becomes even worse when Liancheng's younger sister Liansi and his younger brother Lianxi get involved. Liansi develops a crush on Meng Qiyou and even gets pregnant in the process. It seems that Ma Fuya was pregnant with Liancheng's baby but ends up in Qiyou's household after Liancheng dies. Liancheng dies doing a selfless act to save Ma Fuya. The obsessive empress Ma Xiangyun commits suicide to kill Emperor Liancheng. Emperor Liancheng's quite a
