All Feng Shao Feng, all the time. Well, sort of.

1. Have some angsty Playboy from Four Women Conflict.



I have a thing for tear wiping:



Playboy declaring he killed Lanyan's husband.




In jail, telling her he won't live without her.






Pretty pretty pretty:




OTP!




He's been made to believe she died (she needs to pretend to be dead to catch whoever is trying to kill her - i.e. puppy killer). Ohhhhhhhhhhhhh.



He sort of is going photogenically insane and telling her he will marry her even though she's a corpse and that he's now just a body without a soul etc. These pics seem very relevant to the "crying men - hot, wussy, or lickable" poll question. Your verdict?





At her tomb. Puppy Killer is all "but whyyyyy don't you love me? She's dead." Seriously, someone buy this lady a clue.






2. ockoala just informed me that FSF and Yang Mi are going to play the OTP of contemporary cdrama Destiny's Concerto. Normally, modern-day cdramas are rarely my thing but I am going to give it a try just for them. Together with JPLH, its movie sequel and Legend of Tiger Amulet, that's four times they have been paired in one year (!!!!). I've seen some griping on spcnet about it (why?) but I am doing an ecstatic jig because they sort of my became my favorite drama pairing and I am so very happy to see them together again.

3. I wasn't particularly interested in Schemes of Beauty before but it's made by the same guy who made FWC and JPLH, it has FSF and Yang Mi (not as an OTP, but that is even more fun. Yang Mi's OTP in this is Four, a.k.a. Mikey He, and FSF's otp is Myolie Wu). Must check this out now - I believe viki has it. Have these two MVs for the two OTPs

Yang Mi/Mikey (thanks for finding it, hanjae:

FSF/Myolie:

4. And speaking of Yang Mi/Mikey He - I am on ep 16 of JPLH and I do believe Four might be developing feelings for our intrepid heroine. How do I know? Well, he hesitates to slit her throat while she's lying there unconscious after having taken a sword stab to save his life. He decides not to kill her (on the off chance she's somehow implicated in something against him - hello, paranoia!) despite being really tempted.





Now we know that with Four this is as good as shouting from the rooftops that it's LOVE!

5. Thanks for the heads-up, hanjae. Trailer for FSF/Yang Mi Warring States awesomesauce collab Legend of Tiger Amulet is out:

I want!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

After being brainwashed by the adorable Eight in Gong, I keep forgetting how much cuter FSF can be with HAIR. And I pronounce his crying self in FWC v. v. lickable. That scene in the rain is just yum, and he actually has hair to keep some of it out of his eyes unlike in Gong where it was just running straight down, LOL.

The temporary Four/QC mush is a bit tedious, but I loved it once Four really fell for QC and she kicks him to the curb when she finds out from Su Yan that he tried to have her killed, several times. After getting shafted repeatedly, he ends up trying to work himself to death to forget her, and his delusional wife is all, "OMG I HATE THAT BITCH IT'S ALL HER FAULT" and sends 13th to do something about it. It's awesome fun.

I'm looking forward to Hu Fu Chuan Qi despite how depressing it looks; I mean, Yang Mi's character ends up marrying FSF's brother or something. And Spcnet (and a lot of English fandom, actually) gripes about anything Gong-related anyway; it's mainly the Yu Zheng hate that's spreading over to FengMi.

Some Destiny's Concerto news - hasn't started filming yet.

Modern C-drama, FSF plays two roles - dead first boyfriend of YM and future chaebol true love of YM. YM plays a Candy-esque heroine who goes to prison because of her evil sister's machinations, but after she gets out she manages to become a successful fashion designer.

Honestly, typical C-drama modern tripe. But at least FSF-YM have chemistry, which is always a plus.

Never really liked FSF too much, even though he's pretty good looking. Personally, his acting (or his characters so far) have all been over the top for me. He has immense screen presence, but I think he needs to learn how to control it to befit different characters.

Schemes of Beauty was pretty good most of the time (I FFed through a lot though...), sometimes veering to the cheesy side. Ruby Lin did a solid job as the lead, and her OTP to me was like warmed soymilk, a little bit on the plain side, but heartwarming and soothing. I feel like Schemes of Beauty is one of Yu Zheng's better dramas, with definitely better production value. (Sorry, never been a fan of JPLH. It belongs in the pile of over the top, overly commercialized, and dreadfully unoriginal Chinese dramas for me.)

As for the Legend of the Tiger Amulet, man, that's a solid solid supporting cast (I had no interest in the drama before the trailer. Now I'm a bit excited b/c of the supporting cast). FSF and YM are two lucky people. A lot of actors/actresses from one of my favorite Chinese dramas The Great Gate (大宅门) are in this.

Never heard of Yu zheng before watching schemes of beauty. I like the drama as I thoughts is different from other palace scheme drama. I often heard in spcnet how he is a copycat. I agree to that but got to give yu zheng a credit. In each of his dramas, the clothes and scenery is so beautiful that i got entrance by it.
Yang MI and mikey he in scheme in beauty have great chemistry together, therefore i kind of disappoint that they didn't get to pair up in gong. Through i read spcnet bash on gong, they do say that the only good thing about gong is yang me and fsf.

I have tried to get my hands on Schemes of a Beauty but i cant find them anyway, and i refuse to buy DVDs just for FSF and Myolie Wu!

As for the above discussion on Yu Zheng, I really don't give two hoots about the copying. For me, i feel that if you've watched enough dramas, sooner or later, you'll come to the realisation that a lot of stuff is recycled anyway. what's more important to me is how it's handled by the director, the actors, and whether or not it is relevant to the story being told. And anyway, as i've seen quite a few YZ dramas now, i'm actually more bothered about his view on women and relationships than his copying.

As for rabid fandom, lol, i will admit that i spent most of last weekend trawling though the spcnet forums, in particular the Qing Shi Huang Fei. Iljimae and, ahem, the Wallace Huo threads. And it is crazy how some fans or anti-fans for that matter think. In Ruby Lin's QSHF, the level of love and hate is scary, although amusing! Lol, i can't for the life of me understand why she's picked Wallace Huo and then proceeded to make him look like some overgrown mountain gorilla! Lol, i suppose i'll have a look at the Gong threads for entertainment now!

OMGOMGOMG

HAHA I love you for the great pieceS of news!

Another Feng Shao x Yang Mi drama!!!!!!!! I cannot wait! I'm glad that the tv station is making full use of their popularity right now (because I think the pairing won't last too long, given how fickle tv audience are).

And that MV of the Tiger Amulet...It looks quite a serious drama, but Yang Mi looks so gorgeous inside, I'm really tempted. XP I love Gong, but I really want to see them pair up in a serious, 'I'll love you till death' kind of drama.

Oh, wait till you watch ep 19/20 of Gong. That was the time the Fourth really got to me. <3
