When a legendary general met a legendary beauty...Mousie's perfect drama was born

[dangermousie]

OMFG EVERY OTHER DRAMA IS ON HOLD



asjsunjujrcfgvuhjdkrujfkmhjgfkgjhfkhgkfhg I am literally making barely human noises because I just got my hands on The Stories of the Han. What is it? It's a 50 ep cdrama from 2005 all about Xiang Yu (and Liu Bang, of course). My obsession Hu Jun (OMG have you seen him in Demi Gods and Semi Devils) plays Xiang Yu. And there is a lot of shippy stuff with him and Consort Yu. Check out this MV (spoils for ultimate fate of Consort Yu in case you didn't know it already).

Horse-riding! Her riding to his battles! Rescues from fiery death! Coed naked bathing! Hurt/comfort! Swords everywhere! OMFG it's everything I want in an otp.

I have been obsessed with them as an OTP since I saw them as the secondary pairing in The Myth (scene which literally gave me hysterics bad enough to make me puke involved them). To have a whole drama where it's a big part of the storyline - I am going to die of hyperventilation!

For anyone who needs a quick primer - Xiang Yu was a legendary general who overthrew the Qin Empire. Eventually he and his one-time ally Liu Bang became fell out about who should rule China and got into a major civil war. Considering that Liu Bang is styled "Father of the Han," you can figure out who won that one. Concubine Yu was Xiang Yu's consort and a legendary beauty. Their love story is the basis of a lot of art, including "Farewell My Concubine," the opera which gave the title to the famous movie.

Here is a VERY spoilery scene from the drama. OMFG this is going to be my obsession, isn't it? I am already sniffling just from the clip.

This is going to tide me over nicely until the Feng Shao Feng/Liu Yi Fei movie airs. And the Chen Jian Bing drama. And the Daniel Wu/Yang Mi movie. (Not that I am complaining, but why the sudden movie/drama obsession with Xiang Yu?).

Yeah, I'm pretty sure FSF plays the dead 1st love in MYJYQ (such a long name in English!) since I saw a BTS clip of the car accident that kills him-- it was actually really funny because after the director says cut, Yang Mi says "why are you bleeding so much?"-- but I haven't heard too much about the endgame OTP because in the press conference all the focus was on FengMi.

HFQQ also doesn't have FengMi as endgame OTP though because they're playing historical roles where Yang Mi's character ends up as FSF's sister-in-law so their UST is all through looks but no touching. So it's a tragic love story. I don't know how I feel on that.

I have higher hopes for Painted Skin 2 since there's almost no details and I'm hoping they'll have them as a couple that ends up together.

Speaking of manip vids, people have started doing manip vids for Mei Ren Xin Ji where they put FengMi together even though their characters never shared a storyline much less a scene together. Which is kinda funny because that series had Fenolie and YangMi with Mickey He. I also just realized there will likely be a manip vid opportunity for the sequel series to MRXJ (aka Schemes of a Beauty), Mei Ren Tian Xia, which also has Ming Dao in it. Yang Mi and FSF both guest star in separate storylines but there's been no news of what FSF plays in his storyline only what Yang Mi plays. Her character is actually kinda cool because she plays a white fox demon who becomes the Emperor's favored concubine so becomes the future Wu Ze Tian's rival.

Wow... this is a long comment. I'll shut up now.

I don't mind lack of happy ending for FengMi in HFQQ as long as they are the doomed otp :P

actually, according to several sources, Yang Mi will be playing a bird? spirit, or some other spirit, and she says that this time she will be the "aggressor" and will kinda be the one who chases after FSF :) really bold
