The queen of the wolves

This is how the main heroine of Sound of the Desert can be called. Although in this drama she is called the princess of the wolf pack, the title “the queen of the wolves” is more appropriate for her. She reminds me of Mowgli, a fictional character and the protagonist of Rudyard Kipling's The Jungle Book stories. He, like her, was raised by wolves.

However, she reminds me not only of him. In the series, one of the male characters says to the protagonist that he is not a gentleman and she is not a lady, so they are perfect match. Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler say a similar phrase in the legendary Gone with the Wind. The main heroine Jin Yu, aka Xin Yue, reminded me a little bit of Scarlett. They have some qualities in common.

In the drama Sound of the Desert, I liked the cast and the music. I also liked the story at first. I especially liked the blue dress worn by the main heroine. I was even ready to give the drama 10 points. However, then the series began to “deflate”, and the plot slipped into banality and snot at the end.

It contains many gaffes, inaccuracies and absurdities. The reality of some events in the drama seemed questionable to me. For example, it was hard for me to believe how quickly the protagonist adapted to life in a big city after growing up in the desert. In addition, the story that is told in the series has a distorted moral. Some bad things was presented as normal, which confused me. The last few episodes were so boring that I barely watched them. The watching was also complicated by the fact that in many episodes of the drama posted on YouTube, the sound was lost in some places. So I never heard many of the dialogues between the characters.

To be honest, I didn't like the main heroine. She and I are too different for me to like her. I have liked Liu Shi Shi more as Yun Xian from The Imperial Doctress than in this role. In my opinion, Xin Yue is too cunning, too arrogant, too belligerent and too businesslike. In a word, I am a lady, and she is not. However, she also has positive traits. She is kind, generous, intelligent, and has principles that she adheres to.

Much worse than her is a female character named Qin Xiang. I don't have the normal words to describe her. She brought herself to the end she got. She poisoned her own life and the lives of the others. The other court dames are no better than her.

Among all the female characters, I liked only Ding Ling, perfectly portrayed by Xu Xiao Sa. I'm just like her: modest, well-mannered, fond of family warmth and home comfort. Besides, I think she is beautiful with a wonderful figure. She really looked like a woman, not a mop.

Of the main male characters, I liked the calm and kind Mo Xun. I didn't like the tough and cold Wei Wu Ji at all. He doesn't even have the right to be called a positive character. How could we call positive someone who killed a person for no reason and didn't even regret it?!

Despite the fact that I am different from the main heroine of the drama, we have something in common. My love, like hers, was rejected by the man I loved. Although Xin Yue was much luckier with her beloved man than I was. Huang Xuan has to grow and grow before Mo Xun, and it is unlikely that he will ever reach his level. All his love writing on Weibo is just empty talk. If he really loved me, he would have contacted me directly a long time ago; he would have written to me, not played with me like a silly girl.

He is almost 40 years old, but he is still playing... playing with other people's lives and destinies. I gifted him my heart, but he returned it kicking with his foot. I don't even read what he writes on Weibo anymore. What's the point of doing it if everything related to him is now an unbearable pain for me?

There is something else in which I am similar to the protagonist. Like her, I want a big and happy family, just like any normal woman.

There are a few other details in the series that I would like to draw your attention to. Firstly, here I have seen many actors who have acted in The Imperial Doctress. Secondly, I haven't known before watching this drama that Hu Ge has acted as Mei Chang Su in two different dramas. :) Mo Xun has a lot in common with him, but he is inferior to Mei Chang Su in terms of intelligence and organisational skills.

But there is something I have noticed in the series. In the third episode, the main heroine covers herself with a bedspread with a familiar to me pattern on its ends. I have a bedspread made in Turkey with the same pattern. In addition, this pattern appears repeatedly in the series on various things. It can be seen on the tablecloths lying on the bedside tables next to the bed on which the protagonist lies in the fifteenth and twentieth episodes. Also in the twenty-second episode, one of the female characters, after giving birth, lies on a roller with the same pattern on it.

There is another pattern in the drama that I am familiar with. It can be seen, for example, in the fourteenth episode on the railing of the main heroine's bed. I have blue and yellow face and body towels with this pattern. The pattern is depicted on my towels with yellow and gold threads on a blue background.

Do you know why I have noticed these patterns in the series? Because when I was watching it, I used those towels, and I had the aforementioned Turkish bedspread on my bed. Will you continue to think that all this is just a coincidence?! This is no coincidence. I was also surprised when I discovered it. And I saw the blue and yellow colours in the drama. But I won't tell you where. If you want, you will find it yourself.

Despite the numerous flaws in the story of the drama, there is something instructive in it. It would be especially useful for Huang Xuan and Sun Jian to watch this series. In it, I saw many familiar and new to me wise phrases from which you could learn a lot.

In the drama, there is a phrase that men are fickle. It's hard to disagree with it. Take Huang Xuan, for example. He is a firework man. For every woman he is in love with, he burns brightly... but not for long. O_o Then he falls in love with another woman, and runs headlong, jumping from bed to bed, to the next woman, forgetting what he has promised the previous one.

Sun Jian is no better. He's always taking pictures with some wenches. Do you believe they are just his friends? I don't. I don't believe in friendship between a man and a woman at all. Men like him usually live comfortably for two or three families, and even think they deserve more.

To be honest, before Huang Xuan and Sun Jian, I didn't believe in one truth about men. I thought it was too categorical. However, Huang Xuan and Sun Jian have convinced me that all men are goats. Now I have no doubt about it. The Only One who is worthy to be called a real man, as well as a real Christian, is the Lord and our Saviour Jesus Christ.

I don't like the end of this drama. I wanted the protagonist to choose another man. To me, she forgot her first love too easily and too soon and threw herself into the arms of another. There is nothing that cannot be forgiven to a loved one, especially if he repents and asks for forgiveness. But the one she has chosen definitely matches her. They are, as they say, of the same field. The moral of all this is that when God gives you a chance to be happy, you need to grab it with both hands and not kick it away, because you may not get a second chance.

You know, the title of the queen of the wolves suits me just as well as the main heroine, given how many “wolves” I have fallen in love with me. :) The irony here is that I have fallen in love with me almost half of the male Asian beau monde, but I have not reciprocated from the one I have wanted.

In this regard, the song Dance With The Wolves by the Ukrainian singer and patriot of her country Ruslana is dedicated to both me and the main heroine of this drama. Judging by the lyrics of this song, it suits me even more than Xin Yue.

There is another song that suits me even more. This is a song by the Ukrainian singer TAYANNA called Lelia. This song seems to have been written for me and about me. Affectionate Lelia is a shortened name from my real name. That's why I'm Lelia too. The lyrics of this song suit me even more than its title. If you don't believe me, listen to it for yourself.

Well, are you still alive there? :) Don't you dare to die! Because there are still many interesting things ahead...
