Silent yet touching

Recently, I often rush back home with my Kancil right after office hour. There’s a mission that I have to accomplish? Yeah, that is to get back home and place myself in front of the TV at 7pm. This is because of the Taiwan show – ‘Shen Qing Mi Ma’ / Silence, played by the handsome Vic Chow, innocent Korean star, Park Eun Hye and Hong Kong singer cum actor – Andy Hui. It’s cooperation between different countries but no problem on language at all. Park’s character is a girl who becomes mute after a bus accident. No awkward voiceover for the character, only sign language, notes or sms.

I know this drama has a sad ending where the main character – Wei Yee will die of liver cancer. Normally, I refuse to watch the gloomy type of drama, but not this time. What I like about this drama is that, it’s a story for the quiet ones (Wei Yee is very quiet while Shen Shen is mute). For instance, myself who seldom talk. Many people can hardly understand or tolerate with quiet, introvert person. But we have our own opinion, feelings too. We may not able to act like very friendly and talkative even we force ourselves to. Just like what Wei Yee thinks, we are like alien to the public. Alien, means quiet people who live with the human beings, but still being alone/ lonely. We can’t get along with the society. It’s please to hear the drama song sang by Harlem Yu – ‘Jing Jing De’ / Silence, as it voice out the world of the quiet ones.

Although both of the main characters doesn’t talk much, but their heart and thinking are very close. You see, sometimes you can still communicate and be close to someone even in silence. May be love really conquers all. It’s romantic although the couple doesn’t shower each other with sweet words. An eye contact and a smile speak it all.


Since Valentine’s Day is coming, hope everyone will have an easy yet romantic and remarkable moment.
