Peanuts: 8 July UPDATE – I’ve included the theme song sang by Zhang Han as well as the ending song. Do you like them? For your information, the drama will be airing (3 episodes per night except 2 episodes on Sat & Sun so ending on next Sat) at 7.30pm tonight (China time zone) on Jiangsu Satellite TV so stop hounding me for link to watch the drama as I don’t possess a bootleg version. I am all for sharing is caring so I am not watching it in secret:P Oh, I am watching it live now, simultaneously with China:) Lidge, you can never beat me so wait for your Viet sub & eat my dust, LOL.
The extended drama trailer has been released today pending the drama release on July 8th. I have managed to translate it into English in record-breaking time thanks to lidge’s great help:P Please forgive us for any errors or omissions. My my, such hard work. This means we are not going to sub the drama since it is so laborious and time-consuming. Plus, we have already translated the novel so no point to duplicate it by subbing. I’ll probably do a review since I don’t know how to do recaps. In the meantime, enjoy the trailer until Tuesday for the real deal.
Overall, the drama seems to follow the novel rather closely except with a new character Zheng Qi as Feng Teng’s friend and a match for Li Shu. Hence, the story between Feng Teng and Li Shu is expanded to create more tension for him and Shan Shan. Also, Shan Shan is really pregnant in the drama compared to a mistaken pregnancy in the novel. From the trailer, Zhao Li Ying looks promising as the cute Shan Shan, but sadly I feel Zhang Han is not portraying Feng Teng to my liking. He seems cold, not cool and not playful enough. Their chemistry is serviceable but not earth shattering. I’ve to agree with bongsd that she is still best with you know who lol. Happy birthday Xiao Xiao!!!
Shan Shan: h.e.l.lo!
Nurse: h.e.l.lo! Are you Miss Xue Shan Shan?
Shan Shan: Yes.
Nurse: This is Shang Bei Hospital calling. Please come to the maternity ward in the hospital immediately. A cab has already arrived downstairs of your home.
Random man: Are you Miss Xue? Please come with me.
Feng Teng: Blood group AB – RH negative. My sister has the same blood type as you. She is now in the operation theatre. The blood bank is running low. I hope you can stay here in case of necessity.
Zheng Qi: Let me introduce for you – this is Feng Teng.
Shan Shan: Feng Teng! Big Boss?
Feng Yue: Miss Xue’s personality is very warm and innocent. Since she did us such a big favour, how shall we thank her?
Feng Teng: The usual – a cheque.
Feng Yue: You are so vulgar! Fine, fine, I will think of something myself.
Secretary: May I ask who is Miss Xue Shan Shan?
Shan Shan: I am Xue Shan Shan.
Secretary: This lunch box is from the boss.
Shan Shan and colleagues: Lunch box!
Colleague: Shan Shan, what is your relations.h.i.+p with the boss?
Shan Shan: No relations.h.i.+p. I only coincidentally did him a very small favour.
Secretary: Shan Shan, your lunch box!
Secretary: Shan Shan, your lunch box!
Shan Shan: Everyday, I also wish there will be a day without lunch box. But I dare not ask when I’ve to eat until. Afterwards, Big Boss will think I am waiting for the lunch box. Moreover, everyday also pork liver.
Shan Shan: This is great. I eat like a pig and no one can see.
Manager: Feng Teng, you are not paying attention.
Shan Shan: Shan Shan is a small sun, full of positive energy. Xue Shan Shan, add oil.
Feng Teng: Add some rice for me.
Butler: Okay.
Feng Yue: Your appet.i.te seems to be very good today.
Feng Teng: Xue Shan Shan, are you trying to steal my car?
Shan Shan: Good morning, Big Boss!
Shan Shan: At this moment, I feel like the leading female character in a drama.
Zheng Qi: Tell me, are you interested in Shan Shan?
Feng Teng: Don’t talk rubbis.h.!.+
Zheng Qi: Fine, you are tight-lipped. I feel Shan Shan is a very good person. She is innocent, cute and kind. She also has a mind of her own and isn’t materialistic. Most importantly, she does not have a boyfriend.
Feng Teng: You speak so well of her, why don’t you like her?
Zheng Qi: Did I tell you I don’t like her?
Feng Teng: Stay by my side and go in with me.
Shan Shan: What?
Zheng Qi: Between the two of us, I can don’t care about other things, but I need to make this clear to you. You said you don’t like Shan Shan, right? Fine, then I’ll court her.
Shan Shan: You are so handsome!
Zheng Qi: We didn’t only hug each other, but we even went on a date to drink coffee.
Secretary: Miss Xue asked me to tell you not to send her a lunch box anymore.
Feng Teng: Continue to send.
Shan Shan: Boss!
Feng Teng: Miss Xue, my secretary was not hired to service you. Thus, from today onward, come up and get it yourself.
Shan Shan: What?
Feng Teng: If you feel uncomfortable, you can do something as a way to pay for the lunch. Pick all the sliced carrots from the vegetables in here. Also pick all the sliced capsic.u.ms from the vegetables in here.
Shan Shan: If you don’t want to eat black beans, tell your chef not to add them. It is a waste to let your secretary picks vegetables, but it is not a waste for me to pick them? My ten jade fingers should be used to control the world, to do important things.
Feng Teng: Help me to find a lip-reading teacher.
Secretary: Okay.
Feng Teng: You mean you don’t want to take it….?
Shan Shan: No.
Feng Teng: You want me to do it for you?
Shan Shan: Boss, can dying from eating too much be considered a work-related accident?
Feng Yue: Are you dating her with marriage in mind?
Feng Teng: You are thinking too much.
Feng Yue: Then you tell me, what special traits do Xue Shan Shan have?
Feng Teng: None. If you really want me to say, there is only one – she eats well.
Feng Yue: What?
Shan Shan: Good morning, Miss Feng!
Feng Yue: Good morning, Shan Shan!
Shan Shan: Am I misunderstanding you, that you like me?”
Li Shu: For Feng Teng who is so arrogant, if my love declaration fails, can we still be friends?
Zheng Qi: Feng Teng’s characteristics are not only arrogant, but he is also cunning. He will not declare his love first to whichever girl he likes. He will find ways to make the girl declares first. After some time, if the girl still won’t make the declaration, this means he has lost.
Feng Teng: What do you think of Shan Shan?
Feng Yue: Shan Shan is very adorable.
Shan Shan: New Year! Look quickly, look quickly! The fireworks are very beautiful. Look quickly!
Feng Teng: I’ve always been by myself. Watching fireworks by myself.
Shan Shan: This does not feel real. Am I dreaming? No. Don’t tell me the fairytale really comes true. This is the real version of Cinderella.
Shan Shan: Big Boss, I am sorry! I am sorry! I…..I didn’t purposely watch the fireworks with you. I also didn’t mean to intrude. I am sorry! I will go immediately.
Li Shu: For a woman, the most blissful thing is to find a man who loves her and spend the rest of her life with him. Work is important, but there are many things more important in the world.
Shan Shan: I will add oil (make greater effort).
Shan Shan: Boss!
Feng Teng: How are you?
Shan Shan: I am hurt.
Feng Teng: I will not leave you all alone when you are hurting and not do anything anymore…I want the whole world to know that this fish pond has been booked by you.
Shan Shan: I have never been in love so I do not know how it should be like. I have fallen for you. Look at me, am I what you like?
Feng Teng: Xue Shan Shan, let’s try.
Zheng Qi: Don’t tell me you can’t see that Li Shu likes you.
Feng Teng: Don’t joke, she is like a sister to me.
Zheng Qi: Sister? But she doesn’t think of you as a brother.
Feng Teng: You don’t know her well. She told me she likes someone who is similar to me, very hard to get.
Zheng Qi: Okay, the guy Li Shu likes is just like you with intelligence and look.
Shan Shan: Your grandpa didn’t let you celebrate Valentine’s Day. Your parents also didn’t celebrate it?
Li Shu: Maybe you will feel bad because Feng Teng has never celebrated Valentine’s Day. His parents had an accident and pa.s.sed away on Valentine’s Day.
Shan Shan: Other couples have 1 day in a year to celebrate being a couple. As for us, we’ll remember your parents that day. All the other days, we’ll live like we are a couple, how about that?
Feng Teng: Shan Shan, I love you.
Li Shu: I don’t understand. This kind of woman – how can she deserve to be with you?
Feng Teng: Li Shu! Enough! This is my choice.
Li Shu: I admit I like Feng Teng. I’ve liked him for a long time, 12 years.
Feng Teng: Don’t go.
Shan Shan: You once told me, let’s try. Now, I finally understand what you mean by let’s try.
Feng Teng: I’ve read The Great Gatsby novel you gave me during university days.
Li Shu: Then why did you say you’ve not read that book?
Feng Teng: It is not important whether I’ve read the book. All you need to know is that I treat you as my good little sister. I know you are not pleased with Shan Shan, but she is my girlfriend.
Zheng Qi: All I want to know now is two matters. First, you know that I like you very much?
Li Shu: I know.
Zheng Qi: Can you like me?
Li Shu: I don’t know.
Zheng Qi: Yes or No?
Li Shu: If in a relations.h.i.+p, the other person doesn’t agree, what’s the point of continuing?
Zheng Qi: You just said that you are very happy when you are with me. Can that mean the other person agreeing?
Nurse: Miss Xue, why would you still come to donate blood when you are pregnant, which gives us more work to do?
Shan Shan: I am pregnant?
Nurse: You take a look at your HCG, so high. If this is not pregnancy, then what?”
Feng Teng: Shan Shan, let’s get married. If not because of your pregnancy, I’ve no intention to get married so early. It is not that I don’t care about our marriage. Just that the Feng family has too many rules so I am afraid you might not be able to handle them. Hence, I let Feng Yue handle everything. In my heart, I’ve always felt our wedding only needs to follow the Feng family’s tradition. It’s not because I’m cold, but those things aren’t as important to me as you. This ring is pa.s.sed down from my grandmother. It is only pa.s.sed on to the Feng family’s daughter-in-law. Are you willing to marry me? Are you willing to marry Feng Teng?
Shan Shan: I am willing.
Pa.s.serby: Miss, are you okay? Why do you look so pale? Aiya, you are bleeding.
Feng Teng: I want to protect you well all along, but I didn’t let you have the ability to protect yourself well.
Shan Shan: I’ve also thought about for a long time.

Roll the Dice by Gao Shan
Lyrics:
Sometimes you wonder
what if you could rewrite the moment
Sometimes you figure out
there’s another luck in imperfection
Sometimes you’ve been hurt
then you learn to think about and feel more
Sometimes you’ve been bored
with the life you hate
always be amazed
always take a risk
always keep the pace in a lifetime game
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
life is rolling the dice, babe
you can not imagine what would happen in a second
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6
life is rolling the dice, babe
while you’re lost in the dark, close your eyes,
you’ll find the lights s.h.i.+ne in the other side
