March 20244/3/2024 《与凤行》I’m so touched by the strengths exhibited by the 2 lead characters in 《与凤行》- 沈璃 & 行止. Their strengths remind me of that of 安乐 & 韩烨 in 《安乐传》 —— a novel that I loved. I finished the original book《本王在此》the show《与凤行》is based last Saturday. Having watched the 1st 10 episodes of the show during the week, I was instantly hooked, and simply wanted to know more of what happened. So I started the book on Friday evening and finished it on Saturday 1st thing in the morning. Something soooooo touching to me about their story, and about these 2 characters. The music in this show is so moving. It makes the progression of the story so powerful. I loooooooove the opening hymn in 熾心. It is short but is pure perfection. It perfectly embellishes a magical yet heartfulness around the character 沈璃. It is definitely her theme song. But this piece in the soundtrack has something beautiful, mythical and feminine about it. It suits her character very much. The epic 碧苍战歌 is so good, make sure to listen to 世世 by 刘宇宁, & 熾心 -- I adore the serene soundtrack dedicated to the two of them whenever they are living the human life as 2 deities in the human world. This track can be found in this clip: Each of these 2 occupies an irreplaceable position in their own world, known by “realm”.
沈璃 is the only Phoenix in her world - 灵界, and is the leader of the army. 行止 is the only remaining God left in the world. He is incredibly important and is considered the sole guardian of all 3 worlds - 天界 (the heavenly realm), 灵界 (the realm of the 妖), and 人界 the realm of the humankind. They first met in the human realm. where he was experiencing life as a mortal man. She was in her weakest state and looked after her as she recovered her strengths. She was so pulled to his serenity. He seems unfazed by anything, and has a way to foretell events. Yet he has no supernatural powers in anyway. The interactions between them is hilarious when they were in the human realm. No matter what, he remains this calm, reliable presence to her. After he returned to the heavenly realm, he had his duties as a God and she had hers. Many times he finds her heavily injured in battles and he’s the one that catches her when she falls, and starts to remain by her side until he realises he really needs to put a stop to his emotions. As a God he is not supposed to fall in love, or have feelings for anything at all. She knows this, so even though she cannot help her feelings herself, she holds back and remains dutiful to her realm and the people she gives her all to protect. No matter how much they both try to put their feelings aside, He just can't help but be pulled back to her and always ends up turning up next to her. After he lost her in a battle over the Eastern Sea, and he thought she had died, He uses his godly powers and freezes an entire ocean in order to find her. This is exactly why Gods are not allowed to fall in love. Their powers are too much for the world, If they abuse their godly powers, it could bring havoc to the world. Some months after he has unfreezed the ocean in absolute despair for losing her, she has been rescued by her most trusted general, and he has found her right by the ocean. Picking her up again and nursing her back to health, they get to live an ordinary quiet life in the human realm again. It’s the only place where they both can shed their responsibilities and be their true selves with each other. The human realm is of course our own world. It makes it beautiful that it’s the only place where they can just be and love each other, and is a good reminder that we should appreciate our life on earth. That our world is one that can bring peace and serenity to your soul, like he is her shore, and she is his reason to remain in this world. He can’t help but care for her because she always does so much for her people that she gets herself very injured, and doesn’t look after herself enough. In Chinese they are a pair of 男O女A, where the woman is sharp-edged, the man is in turn the more rounded character. He is soft-hearted but only towards her. He has been the only person in the world that sees her as a woman. Others just see her and treat her as a general, the leader of the army, the one that would protect the realm. They rely on her. But she can depend on him and be weak when she needs to. He’s of course the strongest being in the whole world. His powers are beyond other beings’ imagination. He holds the force that keeps the world in balance. I admire their strengths. Each of their strength is different in their own way, They are both incredibly strong. Each of them can carry the world in ways that others simply cannot. But to each other, they can just be themselves. To her, he is a partner, one that she can fall on to when she’s hurt, She understands him. She recognises that he is the only person that really isn’t free in the heavenly realm, because he is bound to his godly powers, and therefore can not exercise his own will to let himself feel what he wants to feel. To him, she is a girl, he would cover her eyes to protect her from looking at a harsh sight, he would make all kinds of food and is extremely good at cooking a delicious meal; She wouldn’t fuss over the little things or self-care in anyway, whereas he would look after her in every attentive way possible. So their dynamic is wonderful. Together, they give each other a resting place and freedom to be true to themselves. I love that.
