Your daily JPLH obsession post!

I won't have time to watch the tantalizingly fully subbed ep 5 until tomorrow (it's very close to Baby Mousie's wake-up time and since it's the weekend, I want to hang out with Mr. Mousie during her nap/going down for the night time) but I can't let the day go without acknowleging my new obsession, can I?

I've already raided out basically every promo still ever created so there are no more of those but luckily, look what I found! Leads in modern-day-clothes. Nifty!



Also, this is ridiculously cute, even if I have no idea what is going on :)




Yang Mi must weigh 90lbs or something, to be lugged around like this. (Side question - what else has she been in. That's 2 for 2 in the number of dramas I really liked her in).

Have a great weekend, awesome flist! Don't get transported back in time!

JPLH - ep 5

It turned out I did have time after all.

( I am obsessed with this ep more than Eight is obsessed with Qing Chuan )

Everything under the sun

1. I am sure anyone who's interested has found it by now, but in case you haven't, ( long, 26-min trailer for Jade Palace Lock Heart is behind the cut )

So gooooood! This is providing me with new criteria for boyfriend-picking - is the guy going to be willing to gut-stab self in days before modern surgery and antibiotics to save my life? If so, he gets into my skirts. (Other criteria - please pick someone whose relatives are not homicidal in their efforts to get on the throne - that way you won't have to be in danger in the first place). You know, the more I watch JPLH in general, the more I realize how well Hanadan framework works in a period drama - it raises the stakes to life-and-death levels and makes some actions and general personalities more realistic.

2. In news of dramas other than JPLH, I am really enjoying New Tales of the Gisaeng. It's a typical family drama with a billion storylines and I skip them all except for those involving Saran and Damo (individually and together) but their story I love so much! Also, love that he's mouthy to his awful father. I hate when characters are filial to bastards.

( Some caps of cuteness )

3. I finished Taiyou no Uta. So good. My favorite scene was this one in ep 7. ( Scene in question )

4. Checked the ending of Otomen to make sure it ended to my liking (jdramas tend to do annoyingly open endings) and yay! ( cuteness here )

5. In case there is any doubt about which couple I ship in Dream High, guess which scene I rewatched the most in ep 9? ( Go ahead, guess!!! )

6. In case you can't get enough of the "woman travels through time and ends up in love triangle with future emperor Yongzheng and Yinsi (aka guys I refer to as Four and Eight in my JPLH posts), may I alert you to Bu Bu Jing Xin, coming out later this year and starring Liu Shi Shi as the time-traveller and Nicky Wu and Kevin Cheng as the princes. I love LSS, not familiar with two male leads but they seem fine enough. It's supposed to be an angsty take on all of it (to which I want to say "only in period cdrama would JPLH be considered anything but an angstfest." Heh).

( Either way, it looks freaking gorgeous )

Without knowing anything about this story's take, I rec LSS to go for future emperor. I mean, from what hollyxu told me, historical version of Eight ended up being tortured/poisoned in prison, which isn't really a great marriage prospect.

I don't know what episode this is from...

... 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.
