( Here they are, the caps )
I wish I could put them in a snow globe and keep them like this forever.

Fuurin Kazan - yay or nay
Mar. 19th, 2011 08:09 pmStill on my period drama binge, I saw this amazing teaser for the first half of the 50-ep taiga (i.e. Japanese period drama) Fuurin Kazan which is set in the 16th century.
It looks wonderful and, shockingly, the main character actually looks (a) adult (b) fed. (Yes, I have issues with jdrama idols).
But while I am very familiar with period kdramas and cdramas, my exposure to taigas is close to nil. The only one I have ever watched was Yoshitsune, when I was in the throes of my Takki obsession. I liked it (though the video quality for my copy was pretty inferior which rather interfered with the fun) but I remember finding the pace on the slow side. I have no idea how representative Yoshitsune is of taigas though.
So, those of you more familiar with taigas - is this something you think I might like?

I am not the world's biggest fan of romance novels, but occasionally I find one which is just purely delightful and fun.
Connie Brockway's As You Desire is one of that small number. AYD is set in Egypt in the latter half of the 19th century. It involves Egyptologists, antiques thieves, grave robbers, Englishmen etc etc etc. The heroine is someone who is fluent in ancient Egyptian and a dozen other languages and lives with her Egyplologist grandfather. Hero is someone who deals in antiques, sometimes via shady means. Both are pretty smart and fun. Also, hero has some sort of Dark Secret (tm), of course, which prevents him from declaring his feelings and provides angst. No idea what it is though.
Anyway, it's fun.
