Who knew things like this went on in the royal harem?

[dangermousie]

I sort of assumed that if you were a denizen of a harem, the only company you got was (a) other ladies (b) eunuchs (c) emperor, who's probably old, fat and/or full of STDs.

I did not realize you get your own poseable Feng Shao Feng if you signed up. Hmmmmmm - time to consider a career change, self?

Anyway, the above is related to an upcoming period cdrama called (surprise, surprise!) The Royal Harem and it reunites Ady An and Feng Shao Feng yet again, this time as yet another star-crossed pair. She's one of the new concubines imported into the palace in order to help the emperor to produce an heir. He's...well, not the emperor. You can see how well this is going to end, I am sure.

Full disclaimer - I have no idea of the ending, but come on, who are we kidding? It's a period drama and she's the emperor's concubine. And in any event, Ady/FSF seem to specialize in shippy misery x infinity. Though when I was joking that they should start lopping limbs off for their next drama as it's about the only angsty thing that hasn't happened to them on-screen, I was kidding. But seeing they stuck them in the Ming Dynasty, apparently not.



Ady An is inhumanly gorgeous. I can totally buy that a man would be willing to risk getting his head lopped off for her sake.








Not that FSF is particularly hard to look at (here he is with the other male lead, I believe?)




He even manages to pull off (barely) the horrible hat.




Shippiness:





I approve.



Prettiness:







Yeah, like I said.




Can't wait!!!

You know, I actually think FSF looks better with the Qing queue than with that Ming style. Something about the combination of those pretty-boy features of his and long hair makes him look about 10 years older.

And omg who's the hairstylist for the women in this series? The loops are one thing, but the bunny ears...

h, thank God, I am not the only one who prefers him in the Qing style. I was wondering if it was my love for Eight that was making me insane.

Re: bunny ears. But that way they can ask Emperor if he wants them to be his playboy bunnies :P
