... but I want it RIGHT NOW!!!!!!!



Ah, time travelling. So tough and fraught with peril. You never know when royal hotties will ambush you and try to thrust their tongue down your throat.

If they continue their Hanadization (yes please), I know exactly what scene this is too and I love this scene like I love chocolate and caviar and blueberries and other good things! (Well, I wouldn't love it if they went with the way it went down in the manga, but they are going with the Meteor Garden version and that is A++++ awesome).

Also, am amused as she's an antiques dealer and now she's with a genuine antique. LOL.

In conclusion, is every version of D/M gets more of a make-out than the Korean one? Why, yes, apparently.

LOLLLLL THE KDRAMA VERSION FEATURED A WEEPY MAKINO AND A WEAKSAUCE DOMYOUJI AND A RUI THAT EVERYONE ACTUALLY LIKED SHIPPING, SO.

Also, it's in episode 9. (Caveat: I was too busy laughing, but it should be somewhere around there.)

I don't know who these people in kdrama version were but they certainly weren't Makino and Domyouji. I mean, Yuki had more of a spine than Makino in that version and Domyouji was the most pathetic human being known to man and so weak and wobbly it was a miracle he could make up his mind what to wear in the morning! Seriously, I don't get it. He's no gift to humanity but his strength of will and overwhelming love for Makino despite all obstacles were the big saving grace and they took it all away! And Makino, spending all her time moping and weeping and needing to be rescued instead of kicking butt and taking names and smacking Domyouji's Mama down and just - ARGH.

OK, I better stop.

Ep 9? That means I have a while to wait. Booooo :(

I saw this at the Spcnet thread and had to start watching raw. I never liked this scene and was glad the jdrama didn't include it, didn't really mind how it happened here though. I'm really enjoying this drama, but one of my complaints is 4th prince having too much screentime for my taste.

I like watching Four because he's so deliciously creepy and twisted and evil. I do think he'll get less screentime as time goes on and QC gets to spend more time with 8.

The way it happened here was the way it did in the twdrama version - I am glad they went with that take. I mean, forced kissing against the wall is one thing, quasi-rape attempt with horizontalness and clothes-unbuttoning is another.

He's sweet to her and I can totally see why she's crushing on him, but we as the viewers are prone to a lot of stuff she isn't and so every time she's around him I want to tell her to run away - I mean, the guy is offing siblings and using women - not a good date.

I just watched an extended trailer for this and it looks good. I was telling meganbmoore how it makes me really nostalgic for Princess Returning Pearl because of the setting so I think I will watch it once more of it airs :)

Five eps in and it's really good and fast-paced, so definitely recommended.

*dusts off one of her MG icons*

I know! Me too! And it makes me deliriously, rabidly happy! Ahhhh, MG! My second-ever drama and the one which convinced me liking Mars wasn't a fluke and I need to investigate this whole drama thing more. I've seen a gazillion other Hanadan versions since, but Dao Ming Si and Shan Cai are still my favorite takes on D/M. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

I feel a rewatch coming on. It's my second most-rewatched drama, once again, except for Mars.

You are right, maybe it's time to dig up my MG! Meteor Garden is still by far, the best adaptation of Hanadan. My heart will always have a spot reserved for DMS. *glee*

HOWEVER, please DON'T ever ever watch the so-called MG2. NEVER EVER...there's no way of recovering from it. Trust me.

Date: 2011-02-07 04:35 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
I am smart enough to know to stay away from MG2. Because that sounds beyond insane.

Ahhh, DMS. Loved him. Also so insanely hot. He was actually probably the most out of control/scariest out of all the adaptations but that was only fitting because Shan Cai was the toughest, fiercest Makino out there. I mean, that girl was crazy tough and fearless. She's actually my n1 drama heroine EVER.

MG was also the only one out of all the adaptations that felt like it could take place in a real world and you could pass those people on the street.

ooooh, since we are MG-talking, what's your fave scene?

Mine's the one where he gets beaten down to a pulp to protect SC. That's one of my fave drama scenes anywhere. And the one at the end when they talk through a door during his starving-to-death-cause-of-Mama-Satan phase. That was so deliciously shippy and angsty.

Date: 2011-02-07 04:48 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] puion.livejournal.com
The talk between the door was probably my 2nd fav (or maybe it's a tie with no.1). Didn't your heart melt when DMS, trying to control himself from crying, admitted he miss her. Also, how he told her not to give up, because if they were to give up, he would have given up the first time when they broke up. OMG...

But the most memorable scene for me was when DMS broke down next to the sink. The way he was trying to laugh it off about Rui making a move on Shan Cai...then he started to choke, and started to actually cry in front of Xi Men and Mei Zuo. That tore my heart...and the most amazing song, "Love of my life" by Queen...wow, just wow.

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
OMG the sink scene, how could I forget? I loved it so much aaaaaaaah - it's like he loves her so much he cannot control himself at all, pride be damned. Mmmmmm.

The door scene, when they both say they are OK, when they aren't. *bawl* I love the bit where evil Mom finally gtfo and Shancai comes into his room and faints into his arms and they are both totally sick and weak but so happy and adorable. Squish them!

Date: 2011-02-07 04:59 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] puion.livejournal.com
And the scene when DMS made up his mind to get SC back (after he got the meteor lights set up at SC's house), and MZ tired to talk him out of it - telling him it's not worth it, to put himself through the pain again. But DMS said that he never did stop loving her...and if he did lose her, he would lose the ability to breathe. OMG...such love. Nobody does it better than DMS...you can feel how much in love he is with SC. SO powerful!

needs to watch MG NOW

The only reason I am not fishing my dvds out right now is that I will wake up half the house.

NEED TO REWATCH!!!!

Remember the bit where they went on their adorable date 'in disguise' and it was the cutest thing ever and then the goons came out and took him away :(

And the bit where they had a total make-out once he brought her injured self home until they got into it so much they basically fell off his bed and went 'whooops.' LOLOLOL. And the bit where he came back from NY with that awesome hair and and and and...

I need my DVDs!!!!

From: [identity profile] puion.livejournal.com
OMG OMG...yes yes, he flew to NYC, then straight back to TW, almost non-stop...and went straight to her house...such love. And the grin he gave her when she saw him waiting at her door! He was super HOT! So hot...

And yes their sweet date...how he was saying nobody would recognize him since he was wearing a hat & sunglasses, yet he still stood out! lol, and I love how SC brought him to the pet shop, how he shyly admitted that he was not alone anymore because of her, and how sweet they shared the cheap but yummy buns.

Your icon too...the zoo date was super duper cute!

From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
I loved that he was so grumpy she brought a kid to the date and then ended up being so cute with the little boy. Awwwww. The guy's had no parental role models at all.

I always thought Mama Dao Ming was a lunatic to try to separate him from Shancai because it was pretty clear he was going down some really really dead-end path - if he didn't meet her, he'd probably end up dead or in jail from his escalating, acting-out brawls. But meeting her gave him a healthy focus and also allowed him to slowly become a functioning human being.

OMG, the sink scene is the best to me too! It gets me everytime, so short but with such a force that you just want to cry with DMG.

Yes, MG is the best Hanadan version for all the raw emotions coming out from the very green Jerry and Barbei. Their acting out of their own instinct, rather than experienced acting skills, add much to the 'young and restless' essence of the MG story.

Date: 2011-02-07 04:02 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
Yes, I found MG the most emotionally affecting of all the versions too. I could totally buy these crazy kids couldn't exist without each other.

Sorry I watched MG before HYD japan and I couldn't finish even the first season. I mean HYD is the kind of storyline I find ridiculous but the japan version was the only one I felt I didn't watch something awkward...and the acting was miiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiles way better than MG. Jun was more suprising than Jerry (I still don't think he can act unlike the other guy who acted Rui who improved over the years)

AHHHHHHHHHH episode 9 contains many goodies. <3333

Though I am getting a little scared. The stakes are so much higher in olden times. The ever looming threat of death if you displease the emperor.

gosh, i've finished nearly 10 episodes these two days. oh dangermousie!! my crack dealer!!!

I am so close to just saying screw it and watching raws.

Yes - the Emperor can kill you and so can half the members of the royal family. Yikes. Also, in normal dramas, love rivals may punch you out, here they can stab you to death. Eeeeek.

I know historically nothing good happened to Eight but I've been assured his has a happy ending so presumably QC and her boytoy get out of this alive and with all the limbs attached.

Hahaha. Maybe I can live sub it for you.

I KNOW! And oh my the manipulations. SO EPIC.

Oh thank god, Eight just cannot die. Both need to be together, whether that be in olden times, or back to modern.

And gosh, the headresses (ornaments) are ridicously pretty. I want some!!

Don't offer cause I just might take you up on it :)

I love all the maneuvring. I can't wait until Concubie Xi decides to pick a prince to go seduce so she can have leverage and/or kid. That will be awesome.

Oh thank god, Eight just cannot die. Both need to be together, whether that be in olden times, or back to modern.


Hopefully in modern - better medicine (which they seem to need if trailer is any indication, hello stab wounds) and also away from Four who is going to be emperor and has a tendency to off people for fun and profit. Though I think it would be hilarious to watch Eight get used to modern day. I'd want a whole other season about it. "Yes, that's called a car. No, you are not supposed to kill people with it. This is called a TV, nope, it's not moving due to witchcraft so stop with the amulets" etcetcetc. Also, her Mom would have a heart-attack.

But yeah, I found this sequence of pics:

OMG, icon!

The thing with her crush on 4 is that it's based on her not knowing his true character. The second she does, it's going to go away (and it's not as if he could really permanently conceal it). I am fine with 8 going through some angst for now because he was a jerk to her earlier and also because he angsts so pretty :P

As long as I get some happiness and make-outs, that is :P

Yep yep can't wait for the make-out sessions!!! Been looking around trying to get spoilers and stuff but I don't want to be too spoiled...I want some surprises too!

I would wait for subs but I'm just pulling out my hair trying to see when these two will finally have some scream worthy moments together!!!

BTW I got a LJ account just so I could have an avatar of my current obsession...I know crazy huh?!?!

That's not crazy at all. As a fellow obsessee, I approve :)

I am dying to see the scene from trailers where he rescues her from being burned to death, in context. For some reason I have a gloomy suspicion she was going to be roasted on orders of Emperor in which case the OTP is in biiiiig trouble.

From what I read he marries/wants to marry real one but evil one takes QC's place on wedding night but he figures it out *phew* I am sure the wedding night isn't the sole night of their marriage so there are bound to be make-outs, evil dopplegangers or not.

lol, i marathoned 8 eps last night of this, and seriously, most fun i've had in a while. it's one of those dramas that i watch with a perpetual grin on my face.

i have to confess that my extreme fan-girl moment was more to do with the appearance of Four's mum than anyone else though!

also, at the moment, i know Four is all eveeel and creepy, and he is also all emo. and as much as i never thought i would even like emo (seriously, what the hell is wrong with kids today!?), i am really liking Four, or rather, i like watching Four. Su Yan really needs to get a grip though, and see what he is doing to her, and what she is letting him do to her.

and Eight and Qing Chuan? yep, like crack! Korean drama-writers really need to watch more of this stuff to learn how to write proper manga adaptations!

Date: 2011-02-07 04:06 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] dangermousie.livejournal.com
isn't it completely fun and addicting?

Four is evil and all but I agree with you - I love watching him - he's probably the most interesting and complex character in this. Not to mention the smartest. He's a monster, no doubt, but as a character I can't wait to watch more of him. And I must admit that at least out of the princes we met so far, most suited to be Emperor. I mean, I adore Eight and he's undoubtedly a better person as he has not been murdering siblings, but there is no questio Four would wipe the floor with him intrigue-wise.

Eight/QC makes me so happy, I turn back into a teenager :P

She's a Hong Kong actress and past Miss Hong Kong (so pretty!), that's why I'm familiar with her - I remember her best from that wonderful medical drama, The Last Breakthrough.

Oh, if you like all those concubines battling it out in court with lots of evil schemes and so on, you'd probably love War and Beauty if you haven't seen it already.
