Go Lala Go II: Ye Ke Yi (Might As Well) - Janice Yan Yi Ge (也可以- 閻奕格)

怎麼會只剩下自己 還不想認輸

Zen me hui zhi sheng xia zi ji hai bu xiang ren shu

How can you be the only one left refusing to concede defeat

用盡力氣用笑撐住 說好這次不許哭

Yong jin li qi yong xiao cheng zhu shuo hao zhe ci bu xu ku

Trying your best to hold up with a smile, promising not to cry this time

怎麼會連難以呼吸 還不說痛苦

Zen me hui lian nan yi hu xi hai bu shuo tong ku

How can pain not be admitted even it is hard to breathe

武裝自己從不失誤 卻比任何人無助

Wu zhuang zi ji cong bu shi wu que bi ren he ren wu zhu

Pretending never to make mistakes when you are the most helpless one

*

當時間不為誰而破例 讓愛延續下一集

Dang shi jian bu wei shui er po li rang ai yan xu xia yi ji

When time does not make exceptions for anyone, let love continue for another episode

你可不可以輕輕的鬆開 自己

Ni ke bu ke yi qing qing de song kai zi ji

Can you gently open up yourself

**

就算你想放棄也可以 失去也可以

Jiu suan ni xiang fang qi ye ke yi shi qu ye ke yi

It's alright even if you want to give up or let go

別再步步進逼 不留餘地愛只會窒息

Bie zai bu bu jin bi bu liu yu di ai zhi hui zhi xi

Don't try to push it further, a love without room will only suffocate

就算多難捨的過去 最後還是會過去

Jiu suan duo nan she de guo qu zui hou hai shi hui guo qu

No matter how hard it is to let go of the past, it will pass in the end

懷念的擁抱和那體温 用微笑平息

Huai nian de yong bao he na ti wen yong wei xiao ping xi

The embrace and temperature you missed the most can subside with a smile

***

就算你想流淚也可以 任性也可以

Jiu suan ni xiang liu lei ye ke yi ren xing ye ke yi

It's alright even if you want to cry or be wilful

別再苦苦壓抑 鎖上情緒心會更封閉

Bie zai ku ku ya yi suo shang qing xu xin hui geng feng bi

Don't suppress if painfully, locked up emotions will only be further sealed up

就算多難捨的淚滴 最後不讓你沈溺

Jiu suan duo nan she de lei di zui hou bu rang ni chen ni

No matter how hard it is to let go of tears, they won't drown you in the end

就算一個人 至少還有自己

Jiu suan yi ge ren zhi shao hai you zi ji

Even if you are alone, you still have yourself

怎麼會一再的想念 還不說在乎

Zen me hui yi zai de xiang nian hai bu shuo zai hu

How can you say you don't care when you keep longing

渾身解數想要逃出 卻什麼也留不住

Hun shen jie shu xiang yao tao chu que shen me ye liu bu zhu

Pulling all the stops to escape but not being able to keep anything

Repeat *

Repeat **

Repeat ***

當世界不因你痛心的領悟

Dang shi jie bu yin ni tong xin de ling wu

When you realise the world does not ache for you

貼心的讓你返回上一幕

Tie xin de rang ni fan hui shang yi mu

You are thoughtfully brought back to the previous scene

還有那熱烈的曾經 伴隨著你前行

Hai you na re lie de ceng jing ban sui zhe ni qian xing

Which, along with the passionate past, will accompany you forward

Go Lala Go II 杜拉拉追婚记 - Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou & BoLin Chen Review

Go Lala Go II 杜拉拉追婚记 is a 2015 Taiwanese romantic comedy-drama film directed by Andrew Chien and starring Ariel Lin, Vic Zhou and Chen Bolin. The film is based on a novel and is a sequel to the 2010 film Go Lala Go!. It was released on December 4, 2015. I almost forget about the existence of this film, till finally I found the OST on youtube by Janice Yan which I really like the song, and decided to give it a try for this film. Since In Time With You reign, I always love Ariel Lin as the female lead in all Taiwainese Dramas. She's like my role model in every aspect of her character life, such as Chen You Qing in In Time With You (我可能不會愛你) and also in this film as Du Lala. She's such a strong willed woman who is very charming in her own way, maybe I could say, she has that kind of elegant aura which suit her best as the most charming female lead. 

Last Time, Ha Ji Won also tried to do a remake of In Time With You as Chen You Qing in The Time We Were Not In Love. however, I would say, I still like how Ariel Lin portray her character very well, which makes a deep impression on me. Thus, I believe, she would pull her character really well in this drama. 

In this film, Du Lala (played by Ariel Lin) starts a new career in a new position after company restructures. She is 33 years old and has been dating Wang Wei (played by Vic Zhou) for 6 years, waiting for marriage proposal from him - which she never hears at all. Wang Wei was a Director in the Company before he decided to quit his job and pursue the job he wants, as a photographer. When Lala asked him about marriage, Wang Wei said that he is not ready for marriage yet, which upset Lala so much, thinking that he is not ready for marriage because the woman is Lala, not because of anything else. However, Wang Wei has such inferiority complex against Lala. He thought he has to success first before he proposed to Lala. Thus, they both put a stop on their relationship for a while, to calm down and think more thoroughly. 

However, one day, Lala encounters a handsome and successful client, Chen Feng (played by Chen Bolin), who proposed to Lala even though they just know each other through job only for a month. She then broke up with Wang Wei. When Chen Feng asked about marriage right in front of her, Lala is in a dilemma between love and career.

This is really a good topic to go through. Many woman of course would want to get married in her young age - ideally between 25-29 years old. In our society. getting married late would be a huge pressures, specially for the woman. I believe what Lala has gone through is quite the same with us all. When her mom called her, asking about whether she will get married to Wang Wei really stressed her out. Of course, she is being chased by time - to get married and start a family; but Wang Wei doesn't even has that idea at all.

I understand why Lala was so upset. She even said that being on top on her career is not her objectives - what she wants is to get married and make her own family. That's when I reliazed, even when she has boyfriend who is 6 years together with her, there is no end with the question, "When?" - "When do you have boyfriend?", "When are you two getting married?", "When are you guys having the first baby?", "When is the second baby?" that all question is a never ending one.

But when Lala's career leveled up, she has her client attention, even Chen Feng also proposed to her, although they only know each other for a month, Chen Feng is sure that he wants Lala to be his wife. As Lala has said, "Maybe you could meet your Mr.Right after a break up."  she is truly in dilemma, which one she has to choose? Getting married fast as what she wants from the start, her career, or love which is blind and has no power?

Lala ended up choosing love. She rejected Chen Feng's proposal, saying she woould regret it one day. But she has to stay true to  who she is, whom she truly loves and what she truly wants. In the end, she said that even though she has her career, but she is not happy - she is not truly happy. What makes her happy is being together with the one who stole her heart, even though she has no career at all. She is just happy with being together, travelling the world, having a cup of tea at such cafe and enjoy the night sky at the beach.

When it comes to such conclusion, it makes me wonder that maybe we should find that one person who would make you feel complete. Not because we want to fulfill our own objective then we just do anything without considering what we really want and what our heart has to say.

"When you truly meet you true love, there is no need for any preparation, because you do and just want to be happy with that person."
