A few quick thoughts on Vigilantes in Masks, ep 5

[dangermousie]

1. Wallace Huo's character is inching closer and closer to becoming my favorite drama hero of all time - the combination of heroism, a sense of humor, an idealism he's willing to back up with his body (I have NEVER seen a drama character who gets injured so much. He's won first place from previous title-holder - Song Il Gook's character in Lobbyist), mad skills, trauma, and utter indifference to his own future? It's as if it's designed for me! My description of a cross between Song Tae Ha and Hong Gil Dong still stands.

Plus, no man should be allowed to be this gorgeous. It could stop traffic.



2. I am totally beginning to ship Sanniyang with him! She is so no-nonsense, this is exactly what he needs, seeing how messed-up he is. And she can win over his stubborness, this is quite a feat.



Loved it when she made him drink that medicine by explaining how selfish he is to be always wanting to keel over (yay, she totally sussed him out) - why did he require their assistance in rescuing the poor then? And he drinks the medicine after all. She is awesome. Also, he's beginning to see parallels to his dead wife which is - yeah, pretty important. It's going to be interesting.



Also, she's an awesome fighter and tough and ILY, Sanniyang.

3. All the members of YZM seem to have awful backgrounds, but I especially felt bad for Hu. Eeeeeek!



Never cease traumatizing me, drama!

I am watching this rather slowly because I am doing it with Mr. Mousie, but I love every second!

I think it's up to 18 subbed episodes on Viki. I'm still waiting till about 25 have been subbed before I even start. That way I only have to be tortured for the last five... oops, I mean, 4 episodes. Episode 30 has also been subbed :)

I am watching with Jiang Hu subs (I really avoid streaming if I can) so only 10 eps are subbed.

yea, I couldn't watch slowly - I got so impatient that I watched them all without the subs..... *tears*.

I love the subbers who are bringing me an awesome drama.

Can't wait to watch it all over again with subs <3

I liked Liu Shi Shi so much in this series. It's weird because she usually plays the poker faced/silent characters since her face is so still so having such a loud and energetic character like San Niang is really rare for her.

What was kinda funny/weird/cool is that the OTP with San Niang x Li Ge Xiao seriously felt like the OTP because I felt like the chemistry between Li Ge Xiao and his deceased wife was seriously lacking when you compare it to the chemistry between him and San Niang. So sometimes with the nostalgic flashbacks, I did feel like strangling Li Ge Xiao for still holding on but ah well, that's just my being shippy.

LSS is so awesome.

Yeah, I am not feeling much chemistry in flashbacks - they were sweet but not burning up the screen.

Are there a lot of torture for wallace huo character?
Cause song il gook is tortured heavily in lobbyist.. i wonder whether the same is happening here

A decent amount, but I don't know if it goes down as eps continue.
