And the winner is...

You guys have GOT to read fishcake's explanation to me of the family background of one of the two main male characters (Qi You, played by Yan Kuan) in Qing Shi Huang Fei. Mainly because I am still boggling and need people to share my bogglement.

Umm, I this think wins the title of most messed-up drama family ever, and that's saying something (if you are too lazy to click on link, hero manages a feat I have not seen before - have both his birth-mother and his bringing-up mother want him dead and his father be OK with it. Family unanimity yay?) Also, just to add more irresistible wrong on top, heroine is a dead ringer for his first-loved-then-hated stepmom? Who (the heroine) he wanted to seduce his brother but then fell for himself? Sooooo messed up - there is a team of shrinks salivating to get to these people! Where are my subs!!!

Overall, I guess my earlier advice to Qi You to kill himself now and be better off was even more prescient than I thought. Ah, cdramas!



On plus side, he looks very pretty angsting, which seems a necessary skill in his circumstances and will come in even handier as the story progresses - I've seen the trailers. Nothing good happens ever! To anyone!

P.S. Do not breed with anyone, Fu Ya! Qi You OR Lian Cheng! Insanity may be hereditary!

HIATUS though October 16, 2011

This LJ is going on HIATUS starting now and continuing through October 16, 2011 (i.e., next Sunday) as we (I and Mr. Mousie) are going to Peru! I love posting about dramas, but seeing Machu Picchu will be even more fun!

Net access is probably likely to be a bit tricky but also I doubt I am going to have the inclination to do drama-watching instead of sight-seeing and sampling a million potato varieties.

Have fun, everyone, and see you soon!
