Meteor Garden 2018 Episode 32 The Run

Daoming Si has finally decided to fight for Shancai again. Can you hear me scream? Cheering for my boy. That Si-running-after-the-bus-with-Shancai-in-it scene will never get old. I loved two Si lines in this episode:

“I don’t want her to feel at peace. I want us to be together.” -Si

METEOR GARDEN (2018, CHINESE ADAPTATION)

As fans of this series know after Mrs. Daoming chased off Shancai with the threat of going after Shancai's (SHEN YUE) friends and their families.

Shancai joined her parents in the fishing village where they lived (remember Meteor Garden is the only version in which the female lead did not have a kid brother)

Hauze Lei (DARREN CHEN) found her and brought her home.

Later Hauze Lei told Daoming Si he planned on pursuing Shancai since she and Si broke up. Si pretended it didn't matter and later got drunken crying in front of Meizuo and Ximen.

However later Daoming Si (DYLAN WANG) decided he couldn't live without Shancai and told Lei.

A scheming Lei says to let Shancai decide. Then Lei called Shancai and requested she turn off her phone for 48 hours and stay with her best friend. She reluctantly agreed. During this time Si searched high and low for Shancai to no avail.

When he did find Shancai she was with Lei walking on the street, Si confessed he could not live without her. Shancai makes her choice and boards a bus with Lei. Si chases after the bus until it is out of sight and he is out of breath.

He turns slowly defeated.

But then he hears Shancai calling out his name. Shancai chooses Si over Lei.

Lei later claims he did it to get Si jealous (more or less) Lei lets go of Shancai and leaves for Taiwan.

Note: Hauze Lei was a decent guy. He always stood up for Shancai when Si let her down (mainly because of his mom) even when Si abandoned Shancai when she traveled to London to find him where she was robbed. My point Lei should not have ended up alone. But that's just my opinion.

f/o who knows you aren’t okay. who noticed that you sleep more, eat less, that your feet drag when you walk.

f/o that lets you break down, even when you’re the happy friend. the emotional support friend. the okay friend.

f/o that comes home to find you in the same spot you were in when they left, and goes into the kitchen. they come back with tea and your favourite treat. they sit you up against them and they feed you. they hold the water to your lips.

f/o that doesn’t give up on you.

f/o that isn’t going to let you go, isn’t going to sit and watch you suffer like this. who holds you when you cry, who sits in all the hurt with you. who hates that you feel this way about yourself, about life.

f/o that believes you deserve a life better than this. and stops at nothing to give it to you.

f/o that knows you can do it, just that you need help. they know you don’t like asking for help, so they do it silently.

f/o that will not let you give up.

because they love you far too much for that.

Hello, friend.

So there’s a saying in these parts that goes: Any Fall Out Boy song can be about Mikey Way if you try hard enough. True. On a serious note, though (I say that like my previous statement wasn’t serious. It was. Deadly) here is a list of songs that could be (are probably) about Mikey Way:

The Take Over, The Break’s Over

I’m Like A Lawyer…

Thnks Fr Th Mmrs

The Carpal Tunnel of Love

Bang the Doldrums

I’ve Got All This Ringing In My Ears…

G.I.N.A.S.F.S.

I Don’t Care

Headfirst Slide Into Cooperstown…

My Songs Know What You Did In The Dark

Just One Yesterday

The Mighty Fall

Miss Missing You

Eternal Summer

Irresistable

The Kids Aren’t Alright

Fourth of July

Favorite Record

Immortals

Twin Skeletons

Basically: most of Infinity On High and most of American Beauty/Psycho. The song Summer Nights by Pete’s short-lived group Black Cards (during the hiatus) is probably one, too.

And, horrifically, some Panic! At The Disco songs. Particularly The Calendar - Pete contributed a lot of the lyrics, and they’re from his post-Warped journal entries. He also contributed lyrics to Trade Mistakes, Hurricane, and Always. All of which are horrific. Also a few others from Vices & Virtues, notably: Kaleidoscope Eyes (another throwback to his journals). 

On Too Weird To Live, To Rare To Die! Pete contributed lyrics to Nicotine. Ouch. Even Panic! At The Disco songs are about Mikey Way. You cannot fucking escape.
