Yes for strong female heroines and their doomed OTPs!

I have caught up with Princess Ja Myung Go and am through all current eps (13). Eeeee! At the end we have everyone grown-up, yay! Not that I didn't love all the background and politics and childhood stuff - but still, I am a shipper at heart.

Ja Myung (with scrumptuous 'brother' Il Poom in the background):



Hodong:



And look what I found on soompi (it's from official mv/preview so not spoilery, I think). That's one way to end a duel to the death on the beach...





Heh. I am going to LOVE the angst. As someone on soompi put it: "What's the chance of the screenwriter giving us a happy ending? Zero."

Pardon my ignorance but the Hodong here is Muhyul's son,right?

:P

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup :)

This version's Muhyul is rather different though.

"What's the chance of the screenwriter giving us a happy ending? Zero."

That's your averige sageuk, no? :)

I'm still debating whether to watch this or not. I run out of steam with Kingdom of the Winds towards the end as well and it was shorter. Besides, there's the one with UTW (Queen Seon-deok) to air yet. Decisions, decisions.....

It might be better to watch once it's done so you can marathon with forwarding or even skip eps - that way you won't have to watch for half a year - definitely a steam-killing exervcise.

[timescout.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that's what I've been thinking of doing. Wait till it's done and then marathon it in good sized batches. Especially if I end up watching Queen Seon-deok as it airs. (been missing UTW in the small screen so him, even in funny hats and beard is a welcome sight :D)

She is "the other" girl from "Kim Sam Soon". This is quite good - I liked her!

[dangermousie.livejournal.com]

Yup, she is. She is good.

hey, so you know how you were saying in Black and White that Mark Chao apparently gets it on with BOTH the main female leads? Well, I was hoping that wasn't the case because I ship Mob Girl with Zai Tian and there was no way I wanted her having sex with Hero, plus I thought it wouldn't make sense plot-wise, and it looks like I was right - the girl in the smoking sex scene with Mark is another character(it's probably a flashback?) played by Sonia Sui-

have you seen episode 6 yet? I only have time to watch the drama these days, not write about, but I posted a comment or two on my LJ just now...SO GOOD!!

also, did you know that Mark Chao sings? It's him and some other guy on the show's opening theme.

Haven't seen the eps yet, was travelling. Will watch this week, so excited!

Oh, and it's not the Mob Girl? Eeee!
