I don't know what episode this is from...
Feb. 6th, 2011 10:02 pm... 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.

Date: 2011-02-07 03:17 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-02-07 04:26 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-02-07 04:30 am (UTC)HOWEVER, please DON'T ever ever watch the so-called MG2. NEVER EVER...there's no way of recovering from it. Trust me.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:35 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:48 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:50 am (UTC)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 05:04 am (UTC)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!!!!
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 05:33 am (UTC)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!

Date: 2011-02-07 05:38 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-02-07 11:12 am (UTC)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 04:30 am (UTC)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!!!
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:36 am (UTC)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.
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:39 am (UTC)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!!
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:47 am (UTC)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.

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:
So unless she's hallucinating it, she's got a time-travelling bf :P

Date: 2011-02-07 05:14 am (UTC)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

Date: 2011-02-07 05:23 am (UTC)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.

Date: 2011-02-07 09:31 am (UTC)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!
no subject
Date: 2011-02-07 04:06 pm (UTC)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
