Guess who got a severe allergic reaction to the antibiotic I was given for my strep and ended up in the emergency room? This gets better and better!

They pumped me full of counteracting drugs, did a bunch of other things and finally released me. Apparently, after years of having no problems with it, I have developed an allergy to penicillin derivatives - take that, Dr. Jin!!! (actually, if I am lucky, I am allergic only to this particular derivative - I guess I'll find out. In any event, there are plenty of antibiotics not derived from penicillin).

Baby Mousie had strep too but she is not allergic and her medicines are working super well, so she is back to normal, asleep at home with Mr Mousie watching her while I gallivant to such exciting places as the ER ;)

Grrrr, why can't I be allergic to star fruit or biltong or Yerba matte - all things you rarely encounter and of no utility.

Arang - episode 12 is pretty freaking amazing!

Thank you everyone for your well-wishes! I am finally feeling like a human being, i.e., much better!

So it's back to drama gushing.



Considering that I had to pause ep 12 of Arang and the Magistrate in the middle due to developing a severe allergy to my strep medication and having to go to the ER, and only resumed it a day later and still liked it - that must have been quite the episode.

It moved forward the plot and also the romance is now firing on all cylinders - perfect balance. People who were complaining earlier episodes weren't sufficiently romantic for them, would be amply satisfied.

( Some thoughts and caps on the ep )

Random question - are there any good recent Arang MVs? I can't seem to find any. Tons for Faith, nada for Arang.

Two period cdramas I am waiting for

My most anticipated upcoming drama, King of Lan Ling has released a long trailer, focusing on the love triangle between our titular character, a prince who was a legendary warrior/general who wore a mask on the battlefield, played by my huge obsession Feng Shao Feng, Ariel Lin as a heir to a mystical powers tradition, and Daniel Chan as a King of Zhou. (Unsurprisingly, both Daniel and FSF play real historical people but Ariel plays a fictional one. Ariel/FSF is the OTP in this one).

That trailer makes me die of glee:

You can get translations for the trailer at the awesome Koalasplayground.

I AM DYING HERE!!!! (And not just due to the scene where FSF is fighting shirtless in a shower of petals and then sees Ariel. Talk about catering to my wildest id fantasies!). I mean!!!! The angst! The awesome war scenes! True and doomed love! Warlords vying for a beautiful woman and totally becoming lambs around her. Etc etc!!! Gimme!

Also, I remember reading ages ago about the upcoming (not sure if cdrama ot hk or what drama) called Hero with Kevin Cheng, Michael Tse, Ying Er, and Ken Chu (everyone seems to be either a hk or twactor except for Ying Er so I am honestly not sure which production it is). Hero adapts the famous story of one of the four beauties of ancient China. In Hero, Xi Shi (Ying Er) was used to bring down Fu Chai, the King of Wu (Kevin Cheng). Xi Shi's lover, Fan Li (Ken Chu) talked her into it on the behalf of the King of Yue, Gou Jian (Michael Tse). Gou Jian was defeated and made to be a slave to Fu Chai at one point and knows how to hold a grudge! Xi Shi's was actually adopted into a drama at least once before, the Conquest, with Chen Kun.

I remember reading about this and with the knowledge of the story and of the plot of the Conquest (where Xi Shi/Fan Li were the OTP to end all OTPs), my main thought was WTF!!!! What kind of woman would prefer Ken Chu over Kevin Cheng, especially Kevin Cheng who is utterly and madly in love with you? Especially when your boyfriend is basically asking you to prostitute yourself for patriotism in this version?! I mean, WTF!

Thankfully, the makers are not insane. In this version, Xi Shi ends up falling right back for Fu Chai, no doubt giving purists conniptions but me every possible glee imaginable. I am going to revel in their dooooooooooooomed love like there is no tomorrow!

Have a trailer!
