Everything under the sun
1. I am sure anyone who's interested has found it by now, but in case you haven't,
So gooooood! This is providing me with new criteria for boyfriend-picking - is the guy going to be willing to gut-stab self in days before modern surgery and antibiotics to save my life? If so, he gets into my skirts. (Other criteria - please pick someone whose relatives are not homicidal in their efforts to get on the throne - that way you won't have to be in danger in the first place). You know, the more I watch JPLH in general, the more I realize how well Hanadan framework works in a period drama - it raises the stakes to life-and-death levels and makes some actions and general personalities more realistic.
2. In news of dramas other than JPLH, I am really enjoying New Tales of the Gisaeng. It's a typical family drama with a billion storylines and I skip them all except for those involving Saran and Damo (individually and together) but their story I love so much! Also, love that he's mouthy to his awful father. I hate when characters are filial to bastards.
It must be love seeing how smitten he is to see her chug :P
Adorableness!
His face on hearing his friend talk about how he (friend) liked Saran but he won't date her because she's poor.
3. I finished Taiyou no Uta. So good. My favorite scene was this one in ep 7.
4. Checked the ending of Otomen to make sure it ended to my liking (jdramas tend to do annoyingly open endings) and yay!
5. In case there is any doubt about which couple I ship in Dream High, guess which scene I rewatched the most in ep 9?
6. In case you can't get enough of the "woman travels through time and ends up in love triangle with future emperor Yongzheng and Yinsi (aka guys I refer to as Four and Eight in my JPLH posts), may I alert you to Bu Bu Jing Xin, coming out later this year and starring Liu Shi Shi as the time-traveller and Nicky Wu and Kevin Cheng as the princes. I love LSS, not familiar with two male leads but they seem fine enough. It's supposed to be an angsty take on all of it (to which I want to say "only in period cdrama would JPLH be considered anything but an angstfest." Heh).
My, my, Four, is that what you have under those robes? Come to Mama, Emperor!
Without knowing anything about this story's take, I rec LSS to go for future emperor. I mean, from what![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
hollyxu told me, historical version of Eight ended up being tortured/poisoned in prison, which isn't really a great marriage prospect.

I don't know, I was expecting a more epic finale. They turned creepy remorseful at the end, which I didn't like.
