💬 花是愛\ What is Love?
《我問他愛是什麼？他跟我說：愛情就像空氣一樣。因為看不到它，觸摸不到它所以我們總是不經意的忽略它。但 這不代表它不存在，因為在每一次追逐幸福之後的喘息你才會知道你比誰都還需要它。你才會知道你是為了什麼而這麼努力的奔跑著。 我所看到的風景是什麼，我都不會後悔我是這麼的深愛過。 你呢？對你而言愛是什麼？》
"I asked him, "What is love?". He told me, love is just like the air. Because we can't see it, and we can't touch it, So we carelessly neglect it. But, it doesn't mean that it doesn't exist, because every time, after pursuing happiness while you gasp for breath, then you will know that you need it more then anyone else. Then you will know, why you desperatly run towards it. And whatever scenary I see then, I won't regret it since I already loved this much. What about you? For you, what is love?"
《愛是什麼？我不知道。但 我知道愛情這東西真的很麻煩。但是在開始麻煩之前總是會有那麼一段短暫的快樂。你不要誤會， 我不認為我是個花心的人。只是比起談戀愛這事情，我更樂於收集這樣的快樂。》
"What is love? I don't know. But I know that this thing called love is very troublesome. But before the troublesome part starts, there is a period of happiness. Please don't misunderstand. I don't think of myself as a player. It's just that, when comparing to a love relationship, I would prefer to have this kind of happiness."
《所謂的渣男。顧各思義就是爛到掉渣的男人。是一種 活在自己建構的世界中的生物沒有這的規範通常男女關後混亂。活著的目標只有三件事。騙女人，傷女人，以及睡女人。》
"The so-called "leftover man" means the leftover, rotten parts of a person. They live in their own world, that they created, without ethics, whose relationships are messy. They only have three goals in live. Lie to woman, hurt woman, and sleep with woman."
《。。。所以導致最後妳總是一個人。只能靠SHOPPING來滿足內心的空虛。》
"... As a result, you are always alone, and relying on shopping to fill the void of your mind"
《愛是什麼？愛就是一埸戰爭。一埸沒有硝煙的戰爭。一埸華麗爭豔的戰爭。一埸當男人與女人相遇的那剎那便一觸即發的戰爭。》
"What is love? Love is war. A war with no gun smoke. A war about splendor and brilliance. A war that ignites at the moment when a man and a woman encounter."
《愛情拳擊理論。談戀愛就像一場擊比賽。不是每一場比賽都可以光靠一拳就完美KO的。不停去試探你對手的底線破壞他的節奏藉此把他引導到節奏當中。》
"'Love boxing' theory. A romantic relationship is like a game of boxing. It's not often you'll have a perfect knockout with a single punch. Constantly testing your opponent's bottom line. Break up her/his~ rhythm, and then lead her/his into your own rhythm."
《妳們女人真的很奇怪。難道談戀愛一定要搞到刻骨鉻心生死相許，死去又活來才叫談戀愛。難道就不能輕鬆一點，開始一點，快樂一點嗎？》
"You woman are really strange. Does every realtionship need to be heart-wreching, full of tragedy and desperate vows of undying love? Can't it be more relaxed, more cheerful and happier?"
《有時候要在愛情裡面找到幸福真的是需要衝動的。》
"Sometimes, in order to find happiness in love, you need to be little impulsive."
《如果你真的真心在乎一個人，你要做的事情不是讓她知道你有多在乎她而是做一些正在乎她的事情。》
"If you really care about someone, what you need to do isn't to tell her how much you care about her, but doing things that show how much you care."
《不知道怎麼說耶。就好像。。。世界上有一個人，是妳明明知道他不適合你。你也知道他是個爛咖不應該喜歡他。尤其 在他做了那麼多過份的事情傷害之後。妳更應該要討厭他，而且離他越遠越好。可是我卻。。。 不管我怎麼努想要忘記不管他再怎麼讓我失望可是還是會枝他影響。》
"I don't know how to describe this. Just like... there is this person in the world, who you know very well does not suit you. You also know he's a lousy guy, and you are not supposed to like him. Especially after he has done so many things to hurt you. You not only should hate him, but also stay away from him as far as you can. But I... No matter how hard I try to forget, no matter how he disappoints me, I still can't shake him off my mind."
《我不知道為什麼要跑。也不知道我要跑到哪裡。我只知道現在的我不能停下來因為只要現在我一停下來我一定會忍不住很孬的哭出來。》
"I don't know why I am running. I also don't know where I am running to. I only know... right now, I can not stop. Because as soon as I stop, I'll definitely cry like a baby."
《這個男人啊。根本就是把女人還有愛情當成玩具。這世界上也沒有什麼愛情是值得女人去犧牲自己的尊嚴，犧牲快樂還有人生的。》
"Basically men treat woman and love just like how they treat toys. There is no love in the world that is worth a woman sacrificing her dignity, happiness, or her life."
《愛情它只發生在當下你一但錯過了就回不去了。回×不×去×了。怎麼這麼簡單的道理你都不懂啊。你還配當個人嗎？》
"Love, only occurs at the right moment. Once you miss it, it will never come back. Ne-ver-Come-Back! Such a simple idea and you don't understand. Can you call yourself a human being?"
《其實，人生裡我們每個人都會碰到一個這樣的人。一個願意為你而改戀自己的人。一個人願意成全你的幸福而就算犧牲自己也在所不惜的人。》
"Actually, in our life, everyone will encounter someone like this. Someone who makes you willing to change yourself. Someone whose happiness is so important to you that you are willing to secrifice yourself."
《其實，愛有的時候可以很簡單。當你問我 "What is love?"，我會說那就是現在我只想永遠跟你在一起。》
"Actually, love, can be very simple sometimes. When you ask me, 'What is love?', I will tell you, that is, right now, I only want to be with you."
《愛是什麼呢？我曾經跟所有人一樣。都很迷惑這個問題的答案。也花了幾乎三十二年的時光來找尋這個答案。我也一直都相信不管我在愛情的路上怎麼樣的繞遠路。最後我一定會找到一條真正通往真愛的道路。其實愛沒有我們想像那麼難。真正的愛其實可以很簡單。愛是一種平凡的幸福，是每一天和你在一起吃一頓早餐，看著你的微笑，自己也會忍不住嘴角上揚。愛是一種無法抗拒的魔力。我們的眼裡都只剩下對方的身影。而我曾經寂寞的世界因為你的到來而戀的滿足快樂。你的出現填滿我生命中所有空隙。愛是存在在我們每一天的呼吸。你感覺不到它，卻比誰都還需要它。愛是當我們牽著手的時候能夠感覺到彼此的心臟同步跳動。愛是一種相遇更是一種命中注定。所以我要謝謝你，謝謝你在這麼多人中找到了我。謝謝你願意走入我的生命以及謝謝你願意牽著我的手陪我一起走下去。》
"Love. What is love? Just like many people, I used to be very unsure about the answer to this question. I even spent 32 years to look for the answer. I have always believed, no matter how many detours I have taken on my search for love, in the end, I will be able to find the path that will lead me to my true love. Actually, love, is not as difficult as we think. True love actually can be quite simple. Love, is the happiness in everyday life. Love is to have breakfast with you everyday. Seeing your smile, I will also beam with happiness. Love, is an irresistible magical power. It makes us see no one buy each other. My once lonely world, because of you, is now content and joyful. Your existence fills up all the gaps in my life. Love, exists in every breath we take. You can't always perceive it, but you need it more tham anything else. Love, is when we hold hands, we can feel each other's heart beating the same pulse. Love, is an encounter. Moreover, a fated destiny. Therefore, I want to thank you. Thank you for finding me among all the people. Thank you, for willing to walk into my life. Thank you for holding my hand, and accompanying me in the rest of our life's journey."
《現在的我明明是那麼的幸福。可是為什麼我的心裡卻有一點點覺得不安。或許是這樣的幸福真的太快樂。所以我們都害怕失去。但是不管我有多害怕失去這份幸福，我都還是想緊緊的擁抱這一刻。還是想緊緊抱著現在就算在我眼前這個最愛的你。》
"At this moment, I do feel very happy. But how come, in my heart, I feel a little uneasy? Perhaps, this happiness is too perfect. Therefore, we both fear that someday we might lose it. However, no matter how much I'm afraid that I might lose this happiness, I still want to embrace this moment tightly. Right now I want to embrace tightly the person I love the most.
《如果明天世界就要毀滅了，妳永遠都不會再看到他*了。妳的選擇，會是什麼？》
"If tomorrow is the end of the world, and you'll never see Him again. What will your choice be?"
《我常常在想世界上的愛一定有很多種。有些人的愛是一種自然而然產生的愛。時間距離都無法切割這種情感這種愛充滿了包容而且很溫暖。是我們從出生那天起就伴隨著我們成長的。所以爸爸媽媽謝謝你們養大了我。我愛你們。
有些人的愛則是從謊言開始卻也因為愛開始學會對對方坦白。愛不只是包裹美麗糖衣的謊言而是一種正面力量與勇氣。讓我們都能對心愛的人坦白。因為我愛你所以我不想騙你愛就是這樣的。
有些人的愛則脆弱看起來很堅強，卻害怕因為愛而受傷害可是真正的愛不會傷害你只會溫暖你真正的愛使我們一起走過長長的歲月就算彼此爭吵傷害。最後還是會因愛而和好因為我們是那麼在乎對方愛著對方，不是嗎？
有些人的愛則是祝福始終為對方著想。知道對方現在過得很幸福寧願選擇不打擾的溫柔。謝謝你，我生命中一位最特別的朋友。希望你也能得到真正屬於你的幸福。》
"I often think, love must come in many different forms in this world. Some people's love occurs naturally. It can't be severed either by time or distance. This kind of love is filled with acceptance and tenderness. It begins from the day we are born, and accompanies us as we grow. Therefore... Dad, Mom, thank you for bringning me up. I love you.
Some people's love, begins with a lie. But it's because of love, they learn to be candid to each other. Love, is not a sugar-coated lie. It is psitive power and courage. It enables us to conceal nothing from the people we love. Because I love you, so I don't want to lie to you. That is love.
Some people's love, is very fragile. They look strong and tough, but in fact they are afraid to get hurt because of love. However, true love will never hurt you. it will only warm your heart. Real love, is the time we have been together. Even if we quarrel and hurt each other's feelings, in the end, we will still be friends because of love. Because we deeply love and care about each other. Don't we?
Some people's love is like good wishes. Always keeping the other person's interest in mind. Knowing the other person is living happily, he would choose not to interrupt, out of his tenderness. Thank you, the most special friend in my life. I hope you'll find happiness that truly belongs to you."
* Originally it says 白宗祐 which is the name of the main lead so I just swiched it with 他 which is male pronoun 'he'.
~ It says 他 - he instead of 她 - she. It means he, your opponent. They translated as her, cos he's talking about her.
! English subs are not mine, I just changed them a little.. Credit to viki team.
+ This is my first time seeing those actors, so based on their acting they have proven to be good so far
[Review]
It began like something awfully boring, and on 2nd episode became something very intresting and amusing till the end. When his true nature was revealed I thought, this guy is pro. He has the whole company working and helping him. xD The thing is, this drama gradually gets more and more amusing as you watch it. (^◡^ ) At times it even gets hilarious as when a girl - potential pray, throw a condom at him. Or the sentance "I'm not his real son". As well as his conversations with a sheep. （‐＾▽＾‐） And there is even a psyho moment in a dream when he sees reflection of his rival. I like that through-floor-camera view. Gives a different perspective to the drama.
What I don't understand is a mismatch of Chinese and English title. Why is the show called 花是愛 - Flowers are Love instead of 愛是什麼？ - What is Love? which is more suitable?! (´･_･`) And I don't like their outfits in the show at all. Fashion is so yacky. So colorful and no sense. ╯.╰ In first half of the episodes you can see all weight of love as they're not smiling at all. They all serious and long faces. Only after that it gets happier.
But what makes this drama good is a plot. It's non-chlice. They are no evil parents (although their relationship is not so profound) and social class issues. Only Love drama. ≧◠◡◠≦✌
What I like about CDramas and TWDramas is kissing. It's passionate and natural not forced, like they are real lovers. (♥♥,)
The cast is completely unknown to me. So I was pleasantly suprised with Chris Wu. ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) Although their chemistry is very good, the main actress, Chou Jade has such a boring role. (¬‿¬) But Chis is full of funny moments. He doesn't have some special visual as most actors do, but he has the true talent for acting and the charm (Well I suppose, like every Sagittarious ♐ do (>‿◠)✌). He's really good, that it makes me have a First Male Syndrome (somehow I always feel sorry for the main actors). （‐＾▽＾‐）This was his first lead role, and he nailed it. ≧◠◡◠≦✌ He did the tango scene perfectly. Manly and passionately like it should be done. ≧✯◡✯≦
His acting for both serious and goofy scenes is splendid. Oh, but, the way he cries! (っ◔◡◔)っ ♥ He's trying to stop the tears in front of others but when he is alone the emotions overwhelm him and he breaks. Tottaly a manly way of crying. Both cute and manly. And in a special way, sexy. Oh! God! He's so beautiful when he cries! (˘‿˘ʃƪ) ♥
Even through it's the happy and cute ending, you kinda feel sad that it's over. It really keeps you attention till the end. This is definitely a recommendation.
~ His words reached her, not in the moment they were created but in the moment they were most needed~
