Housekeeping stuff first.
One. I believe that I’m the ONLY “Hidden Love” fan who hasn’t seen the ending. (What can I say? I’ve superb self-control and I’m master of delayed gratification.) I know that it’s a happy-ever-after but please do NOT spoil the details of Episodes 20 to 24 for me. Let this be MY journey to savor on my own time and pace. Thanks.
If you need to discuss the ending, the open thread is here:
Two. @agdr03 dear, would you mind compiling all the kissing scenes? IIRC, we made one for “You Are My Glory” and that was fun and funny. No rush. As you can see I’m going at snail pace.
Three. I saw this gif and it reminded me of something that was brought up in a promotional video of “Mr. Bad.”
Apparently, his co-star in “Mr. Bad,” Shen Yue disliked doing “aegyo” (or cutesy stuff) on camera. But Chen Zhe Yuan didn’t mind it. I guess that’s why he and Zhao Lusi hit it off in this cdrama.

One more OST to go!
Hidden Love: OST “Forever Star”
Hidden Love: OST “I Have Someone I Like”
Hidden Love: OST “The Star Thief”
Hidden Love: OST “Be Your Light”
For this song, I transcribed the lyrics from this Youtube music video created by Renmazuo99. I don’t know whether he/she is the original source. I made minor edits. Hopefully, @Grace can answer and shed light on a couple of things that confused me. Thanks, @Grace!

“You Are My Only Wish”
Sung by Zhang Bichen
How do I describe this feeling
The moment I saw you?
It’s that kind of love
That falls from heaven.
I got nothing to hide.
Thoughts of you dance on my mind.
I once tried to hide it,
The love that’s hidden within time
This moment is crystal clear.
The starry sky illuminates the past and the future.
You know this is meant to be.
One day you will walk towards me.
The stars are aligned.
Say it’s forever now.
The crystal-like appearance
Remains a long time after.
(Huh? The crystal-like appearance of what?? Their love??)
Our love is true and it’s crystal clear.
Your smile is like a gentle solace in winter
Caressing my fingers
The world is blanketed in snow.
(Huh?? Or is this a subject-verb-object inversion again?
Like, Your smile nostalgically draws me back to that winter
when the world was blanketed in snow??)
I got nothing to hide.
Thoughts of you dance on my mind.
Depending on you without hesitation
Loving you with my all
This moment is crystal clear.
The starry sky illuminates the past and the future.
You know this is meant to be.
One day you will walk towards me.
The stars are aligned.
Say it’s forever now.
The crystal-like appearance
Remains a long time after.
Our love is true and it’s crystal clear.
It used to be me
Who was lost in the darkness.
You always shine through like an angel,
Illuminating countless expectations
Through love and pain
Through every day and night
This moment is irreplaceable.
You are the future I look forward to.
This moment is crystal clear
Through time and a sea of people.
You know this is meant to be.
Walking toward me in the light
The stars are aligned
Say it’s forever now.
The crystal-like love
Past, present, forever
You are my only wish in this life.
Waaaaaaa! Xiexie! 🥰
This is my fave song from the OST but I really like all of them.
This song is coming from Sang Zhi’s heart. There was darkness which just means she really didn’t know whether Duan Jiaxu will ever come to her. When he did, it was as clear as crystal.
I love that lyric where it said it’s that kind of love that falls from heaven. I take it that their love is blessed and that it will last forever. ☺️
Also the ‘thoughts of you dance on my mind.’ It’s so true because knew how long DJ stayed in SZ’s mind. 😊
Promise, I won’t spoil for you. 😉 You usually have a pick at endings but your very strong on this one. You go girl! 💪🏼
Ha! Me and my kisses. 😆 I have my list ready but I’ll go through it before I give it to you. You Are My Glory had 27 kisses! Blimey! I wish there was more here but it’s all good. I’m satisfied. 🥰
Thanks for waiting, @agdr03. I remember you said that this was your favorite but I couldn’t write about it then since I haven’t heard it. I wouldn’t know what the lyrics would be referring to. 😂😂
I also dislike it when some lurking fangirl of the drama would come out and argue, nitpick, demand, and rage, “well then, how would you explain the ending then?” 🤪🙄
If these people don’t agree with what I wrote, they can quit reading the blog. Why is this so hard for people to understand? Where is Zeus? I need his thunderbolts zapping people’s butt badly. ⚡️⚡️⚡️
😂😂
Oh but we don’t see those comments so you must have borrowed Zeu’s thunderbolt and zapped them out of the blog. ⚡️ Cool! 😂
It really is a matter of understanding but some people will never understand, it’s a given, right? 😄
Thanks for the lyrics, @packmule3.
Chen Zhe Yuan has really good facial expressions and movements. I think that’s why he seems to match Zhao Lu Si so well for me in this drama. He’s not quite at her level, but they are well cast as a pair.
No spoilers from me! I’m looking forward to your next episode or episodes. I hope that you have a great weekend.
Ooo! @pm3, I’ll look at the lyrics in detail after dinner!
@Fern, I agree on Chen Zhe Yuan’s facial expressions. You know how the moments when they were not talking, or when he is listening to Sangzhi. All the zoom in is worth it because this is way not boring at all, even when they don’t talk. It wasn’t slow but there were changes in their expressions that really makes this drama so good to look at. How their eye expression changes is so on point.
@agdr03, 28 kisses on YAMG!!! They really milk it out from those two. One of the dramas I enjoyed the kisses was Falling into You.
@agdr03, got it on right the crystal clear part.
That when he comes to her it becomes clear that they will be together. Because that’s when the stars are aligned….which means it will have to be the right moment. But when that moment comes, viola, they will know that they are meant for each other.
The translations for that part is right, the very poetry kind of phrases makes it hard to connect the meaning without knowing the context.
“Your smile is like a gentle solace in winter
Your smile is like the nostalgia of a winter day
(I think she meant that it is something she remembers nostalgically)
Caressing my fingers
Gently going past my finger tips
The world is blanketed in snow.”
Lifting up the entire sky with flying snow
Honestly I’m not getting the flow of this song, it feels disjointed. And for her to sing with the english lyrics, I can tell she is not fully on point with the english pronunciation.
Sidetrack a bit, do you know how in Chinese dramas, they dub actors or actresses voices, one of the main reasons is that they do not have the standard Mainland Chinese accent? They speak so many dialects in China it is hard to get a single accent for national tv but they manage to do it. Dialects and even the various accents from different China regions in dramas is rare. Dylan Wang from LBFAD have to go through intense training to get his mainland Chinese accent right.
Is this song played at the part where they confess to each other or something? I’m not remembering the details.
Yes @grace it was the bgm when Duan Jiaxu asked Sang Zhi if he can court her. ☺️
It would have been perfect to have the right pronunciation but she did good anyway. 😃
