Medley072～One month on the bus

Entering May, the "siege" in Shanghai was lifted. The purpose of learning the Taiwanese accent is just to highlight how limited the so-called clearing and unblocking is: a pass is required to enter and exit the community, the green iron mesh fence has not been removed, and most shops have not yet been restored... A month on the "bus" has passed like this, like a lifetime .

Love Tibetan Japan

• Yamamoto Kei and Yagyu Hiroshi have recently passed away, and people living in the "land of tranquility" have left one after another.

Japanese drama world

• The Japanese drama recommendation ranking (tier list 12.2) was updated, with a total of 15 episodes, and "Teacher's Takeaway" was the first to be eliminated.

※Always※

• "Sustainable Love? "EP1-2, this romantic light comedy stands out in the spring. The heroine Xinghua played by Ueno Shuri is super typical. Under the strong encouragement of her father, she formed a love triangle with Kei Tanaka and Yuto Isomura, while the beautiful doctor Haruka Igawa was paired with the dictionary editor Matsushige Feng, and Suzuki Fuku's younger brother also made his debut. The cast is good, and the script is decent. A

• "Wealthy Giants" EP1-2/B, the daydream drama of ordinary girls marrying into a wealthy family, Tsuchiya Taifeng's partner Matsushita Kaiping, ten years! I don't want to waste pen and ink criticizing the stereotype of the original author, so I deliberately avoided words such as "noble" and "noble family" in the translation of the drama. Matsumoto Wakana changed the graceful and tragic performance style of the past, and exaggerated it to the point of approaching the field of "Yan Yi" strange performances, which can be regarded as a highlight of the play. B

※Continued review※

• "Kamakura 13 retainers" EP16-17, the infighting of Genji continues. The main line of these two episodes is the death of Yoshinaka and Yoshitaka's father and son. The struggle and adaptation of the protagonist are undercurrents surging as the substrate. Koki Mitani's plot arrangement is impossible to delve into, and it may be more pure to appreciate it if it jumps out of the historical framework. A

• "Xingxinyi Short Story Collection" EP3-4: Lin Qiandu's "Insomnia" returns to the eternal proposition of dream and reality, which is reversal in reason, but it is meaningful enough; It is to look at the accustomed world with a new attitude. A
• "TOKYO VICE" EP2-4, hotels, Cowherd shops, dance halls, love hotels... A lively and bizarre picture of Tokyo's nightlife slowly opened. Itaka Yuxia, Yamashita Tomohisa, and Ito Ayumi appeared one after another. Yamada Junda is fluent in English Once you hear it, it's a returnee. Twenty years ago, in a nightclub, there was a song by Hikaru Utada, and the male lead and Kasamatsu would chat about the boy group. It was also very interesting. A
• "Ex-Boyfriend's Will" EP3-4, the sword-holding combination was born, that is, the mission case plot, the relationship between the characters are old-fashioned, the supporting cast is weak, and Ayase Haruka and Oizumi Yo can hold it. A

• "Booming Heart" W2-3, the talent that paved the way for Yuko in the second week, had the opportunity to go to Tokyo but chose to stay in Okinawa. In the third week, Kuroshima Yuuna officially debuted, and the main casts were refreshed. Other than the three sisters, Long Xingliang, Yamada Yuki and Watanabe Daichi are the ones that NHK prefers. The script is rather boring, and the protagonist keeps repeating the title of the play in a mantra, which is neither clever nor reasonable. B

• "My Family" EP3-4, Chapter 1 ends with the rescue of his daughter Youguo, the first half of episode 4 sets the stage for the changes brought about by the kidnapping case, and then He Laixian becomes the next victim, Hamada Yue tells what happened many years ago , the whole picture of the event is gradually pieced together. This drama has great plasticity, and it all depends on the skill of the screenwriter. B
• "Xiaojing and Dad" EP6-7: The "playing meat" in episode 6 is Xiaojing's self-identification. I don't know how to deal with myself, my true self, Positioning and aspirations are blank; the transfer to Panama is an opportunity for a change in the father-daughter relationship. B
• "Countdown 10 Seconds to the Future" EP2-3, last time I said that Mandao Hikaru is the only driving force for chasing this drama, I still don't plan to take it back when I see it here, whether it is adhesive or flavoring agent, the meaning of good casting lies in Here it is. B
• "Kichijoji Lu Snake" EP2-3, agreeing to dine together, Kunimura Hayabusa suspected of being a flower destroyer, etc. are quite satisfactory. Not necessarily going to follow. C
• "Honest Real Estate" EP3-4, the cameo lineup such as Dadi Maou, Okunoka Kaoru, Kobayashi Ryoko, and Kazuki Chun is quite luxurious. Characters like Fukuhara Haruka are full of Japanese film and television (anime), representing paranoia toward childlike innocence, sincerity, and freshness. C
• "My cuteness is about to expire? "EP2-3, the wonderful thing about this drama is that although the plot is old-fashioned, it can be watched smoothly, and the progress bar will not be checked frequently. C
• "Invisible" EP2-3, continuing the formula of the first episode, the special criminals walking in the rivers and lakes + the psychological warfare of the two protagonists + the action scenes at the end. C

※Review※

• "LEGAL HIGH" S1EP7, the inheritance case of an old shop in a remote town, has a strong sense of tribute. It is also an open-ended ending that deliberately hides the truth. Ryo Kozawa mentioned "monkey" too many times, as if he was fighting the audience's wits.

• "The Penultimate Love" S1EP6, Zhenping witnessed Heping and Qianming chatting and laughing, and it turned out that it was not bad to feel jealous. He promised to have a one-on-one relationship with Qianming. Ordering a meal is very exciting, bickering and stepping on landmines for no reason, but the result is exactly what the other party wants.
• "Kisarazu Cat's Eye" EP5, Ai Chuan Xiang guest starred, everyone in the cat's eye group was grateful, but Mr. Meili didn't recognize it at all.

※other※

• BBC documentary "Planet" EP2-3, introduced Earth, Mars and Jupiter. The in-depth astronomical knowledge, coupled with the beautiful framing, quickly expands the curiosity about the eternal stars. The impact of Mars, the long-term companionship of the moon, the cause of the aurora, Jupiter like the heavenly father...
• "Breaking Bad Lawyer" S6EP1-3, in the swirling ties, people are cleaning up the house left by Sol, and the final season of the "Breaking Bad" spin-off drama begins. Flynn and Saramanka's battle, and Howard framed by both sexes go hand in hand. The "poison master" elements such as the Statue of Liberty inflatable shop recruits and black fat bodyguards have returned one after another.
• Wong Kar-wai's 1994 "Evil in the East and Poison in the West", time, memory, winning and losing, love and hate, and the continuous cycle of red dust. This review is the ultimate version. It is said that the subtitles between chapters are also added later. The English title "Ashes of Time" is obviously not a random translation.
• Jin Min "Inception Detective", adapted from the original author Tsutsui Yasutaka's most successful novel, is both the origin and the culmination of Jin Min's works. I want to read "Dream of Red Mansions" again.
• The movie version of "Uncharted" is a remake of the game work, with a high degree of restoration and an extremely refreshing rhythm. Maybe the main creator did not intend to "value" at all, but it is also good and sincere.
• Revisiting the old film "Gladiator", the contradiction between the monarchy and the republic is nested in the favorite revenge story, which is timeless in any era.

※New drama※

• NHK held a press conference for the 2023 Dahe Drama the day before yesterday. "LEGAL HIGH" screenwriter Ryota Furusawa collaborated with Jun Matsumoto, Takayuki Yamada, Alice Hirose, Matsushigetoyo and other actors took the stage.

• Kotaro Isaka's latest work "Micro Spy Ensemble" in 2022 is published. The movie starring Brad Pitt and adapted from Izaka's work is scheduled for July, so I'm also looking forward to it.

absolute sense of language

• Matsuko Yukichi's "Fantasy Paradise" talked about the origin (etymology) of words, analyzed the changes of buzzwords and the trend of new words in the SNS era, and the two also recalled the well-known digital code words in the "BBCall" era. I really wanted to have a pager back then.

digital garden
