Watched ep 11 of BBJX and it was a lovely breather in the melancholy and angst. First off, loved that brief moment with Lu Wu and Thirteen when he brought Four over. The intensity in his eyes! Also, the scene with Fourteen in Mongolian disguise was cute cute cute.
Now, on to the main point: Eight/Ruoxi bloody finally!!!! I loved the horse-riding scene when he rescued her - the way he stared at her as she rode on his lap (ok, sadly that sounds much dirtier than t was :p) mmmmmmm and then literally laughing in joy when he realizes she likes him back. Then the scene in his tent when he is wounded and they hold hands and she hugs him back and chemistry aaaaaaaa! I did giggle when she looked away when he was quasi-shirtless while being treated. Damn, girl, you are not really a Manchu noblewoman, why so shy? I'd be ogling that chest for all I was worth and then tackling him down on that couch for some sexual healing. You are a 21st-century girl, come on, for the sake of all fangirls everywhere you have to do it!!!!
I really do think she is too cautious to commit to someone whose future she knows is no good and who has a bunch of complicated interpersonal relationships already. To compare it with JPLH, she is an observer, not a doer like Qing Chuan was. Hence is the tragedy, observer or not, she can't help but be drawn in.
I am not sure I will have caps from now on btw - I download almost 1gb-sized hard subs already so to also download almost 2-gb raws is kinda insane, OTOH, the Eight/Ruoxi stuff begs to be capped. Dilemmas!!!
In other drama news, I finally started watching Fight and Love with the Teraccotta Warrior properly - viki has it subbed. I am four eps in and I like it but not as much as I thought I would based on the premise (Qin general and royal Concubine relive their doomed love through centuries). I think it's because while I love both Du Chun and Ady An, they have better chemistry with other costars. It's still fun though.
I got to say, I am pretty much rolling in cdramas/hkdramas right now - I am watching BBJX, Terracotta Warrior, Relics of an Emissary, Last One Standing and Four Women Conflict and Vigilantes in Masks. I don't think I will be slowing down much either because the drama that comes after the drama after BBJX is the insane cdrama-goes-lakorn "Sealed with a Kiss" with Hawick Lau and then QSHF, the Ruby/Wallace/YanKuan miseryfest which I am dying for. And the Royal Harem is bound to air soon, plus there is Ruyi and Mystery in the Palace, and Legend of the Tiger Amulet and a bunch of others.

RX initially loved 8 without complications, but it wasn't strong enough to overcome her knowledge of his political fate in the end.
RX initially chose 4 for because of his political fate as the winner, but she ultimately loved him without reservation even knowing what he had to do to become the Emperor.
I would say that RX fell for 4 quite early on (in the kiss on the plains) but it was also repressed, plus her feelings for 8 were much stronger then and she really wanted to make it work with it (without losing her head in the end).
When it failed with 8, that was when things started to really develop with 4. When she asked 4 to marry her, she was pretty much in love with him, but not quite sure he would ever love her back or that she ought to love him. Because of the freak out caused by the CP wanting to marry her, when RX asked 4 to marry him it was to save her hide, and he knew that, which is why he said no.
But ZOMG in 20-21, those two are so in love with each other (and both of them love 13 so much as well), it's pretty much a nobrainer he's the one she'll risk everything for. Which she could never do for 8.
The scene where 4 loses it at the Imperial Court and you see him turn from just interested in getting the throne to COMPLETELY AND UTTERLY HIS MISSION IN LIFE because of what the other princes just did to him and 13, my heart broke for him and RX.
WHY!?!?!?!?

I'm starting to like Ruoxi with Four (since the time he tended to her at her sickbed) and my pain over Eight and Ruoxi is gradually subsiding. But the budding romance is not powerful enough to overcome the melancholic undertones that the political strife is about to unfold.
Such a sad, sad story!! What to do?????

Oh, I thought it might be something like this that would turn him. I just know I am going to bawl.
