Hidden Love: Ep 5 On Engraving Names, part 2
This is my theory for this cdrama, and I stand by it. The levels of understanding “Hidden Love” can be twofold. On the surface level, we’re obviously watching Sang Zhi hide her feelings for her Gege.

This is another melody that I liked but I couldn’t make sense of the words. Since I’m neither a Chinese lyricist nor a poet, I looked through a few versions to make it intelligible to me. This is the composite version based on the youku sub, and several music videos on YT. No need to […]
