mvrdrkManaged to watch the end of episode 18 (turns out I stopped 2 minutes before the end last time) and all of 19 and 20. The "River Castigation" is FanLi and GouJian at the river, was what you were talking about? It was ... beautiful!
I watched it over and over again. For me, it feels elegant in Chinese, the English is good, but it lacks something. Borrowing from the younger one who now maintains the Japanese language must be called Japanese-ese to distinguish it from the state of being Japanese, the English lacks Classical-ese or formal-ese or ... I feel like the English should fall into King James or like mode. (Truthfully, the Chinese is nothing special, it just feels special.)
And this is the first time that I can suddenly see an inkling of GouJian x FanLi, which is a delight! That was an "I love you" in the most passionate way. Only, it tickles me more to see it as some sort of muddled up Confucian- love, respect, obey, obligation, scolding, fantasy-gone-wild. Uhh, you know, un-happi n'dins r i, as it were. LOL!
It's stuck in my head, disjointly with boy band boys.
