FYI: comment notifications seem a bit delayed.

I apologize in advance to everyone who has friended me for kdramas. I am on a major cdrama kick and probably will be for a couple weeks. Fair notice.



You know how I said I won't cap BBJX any more because repeat downloads of the same ep are a waste of time? Well, I lied. I downloaded ep 11 just so I could cap all the amazing Ruoxi/Eight scenes.



The horse rescue scene. My favorite part is Eight's grin which lights up his whole face when he realizes he has a place in her heart. Their chemistry is insane.
































They are so adorable!








14 and Ruoxi are so cute.








Not as cute as 13 and Lu Wu are though. OMG the chemistry.











The hand-holding OMG. It just kills me the way he looks at her, with his heart in his eyes.












The scene where she comes to see him after he is wounded. When they are together, nothing else seems to exist - the warmth radiates off the screen. No wonder she is smitten despite her self-preservation insticts - who could resist a man like that who looks at you like that, like you are his whole world. Did I mention she helps bandage him while blushing at partial shirtlessness? The chemistry was so thick I expected them to start making out right then and there.



























































Oh my God, so perfect. How will I deal when they break up?














OMG this scene OMG. I seriously almost stopped breathing and there was no contact.























Seriously, every second is so amazing.




















The whole time I kept chanting 'hug hug hug hug hug him.' And then she finally did.




















And that is why I swoon over them. Because in the middle of all of this insanity, he can still smile at her like this.












In other cdrama obsession news, since I just posted a Ruby/Wallace QSHF mv, have a Ruby/Yan Kuan one. I can tell I am going to ship them so hard it's going to hurt.




Mmmm. Ruby, Ruby, Ruby, who's a girl to choose? Maybe a poll...

I went with Wallace. . .because he looks like Wallace Huo. (I am shallow when it comes to period China fiction polls) I honestly feel sad that he's playing a crazy, OTP torturer - because, I'm so used to him being the awesome (yet emotionally wounded) good guy.

Have you seen the 15 minute subbed trailer? Because he isn't the evil kdrama secondary guy. He is a very conflicted and complicated character and, I think, is going to run away with the drama - and he really loves her to bits and risks his neck for her repeatedly and will do anything for her except be able to let her go. It's more of a tragic antihero bad guy then evil mustache-twirling villain. I mean, he's not a good person but he is hella magnetic and fascinating.

I believe Wallace actually did this drama as a favor to Ruby - it's the first drama she is producing.

No, I haven't watched the trailer. I don't want to get too excited, because I know it will probably be a while until I watch it.

So, he's a complicated and tragic anti-hero? And, he's Wallace Huo? Yes, he will run away with this drama. He's a magnetic actor, so I'm sure he'll run away with every scene he's in.

It's inly 15 mins so I didn't think it was that spoilery but mmv.

Yeah. He's not the cartoon evil villain, more of a messed-up complicated antagonist. He's going to own this drama. (And I say that as a rabid Yan Kuan fangirl. But Wallace is...well...Wallace).

OMG.. I'm the other one who's loving Wallace . since I'm shallowed and I love Wallace look more but this drama.. I so can see that it's going to be so difficult to choose who to ship. I heard that after BBJX finish, it's going to continue with QSHF. I heard the tv station has already put the advert out

Yeah, I am basically obsessed with Hunan's fall line-up, BBJX, this, Hidden Intention, Sealed with a Kiss are all dramas I want.

LOL, it's gotta be the looks- I can't imagine anyone reading that write-up and going "woooo, what a sterling, dateable character that man has." :p

I would definitely go with Wallace Huo- I love unpolitically correct heroes who are psychotically devoted to their heroines- I hope this drama has subs when it comes out.. I don't really watch much crdama, do many of them have heroes who are psychotically devoted to their heroines? Jealousy and possessiveness would be a plus! Thanks Mousie!

Yeah, but she doesn't love him back so it leaves him out of contention for me. MMV though.

Hmmmm, not that many dramas I can think of have those criteria. I think your best bet is Summer Desire with Barbie Hsu and Peter Ho. He's pretty much the most obsessed and posessive hero ever.

Thanks, mousie... I tried to watch Summer's Desire but then ended up giving up because I hated the heroine, I'll try to pick it up again....

You just have to deal with it.

Learnt it the hard way. Was crying a bucket last night because of the final, finaly breakup. Thing is, that breakup scene only had Eight, and it was still so impactful!!

I've figured out why I cannot let go of Eight x Ruoxi. It kind of made sense why she did what she did, but then again, it doesn't. It took her seven years to finally cave in to her heart and show Eight some form of attraction. Seven years. And then, within a mere few months after she took the first step to accepting him, she tracked back. It wasn't as if something major happened during that period to have brought back into the picture the fears that had been keeping her distant from Eight but which she had already overcome. I cannot understand the sudden change in her decision.

Is it because her getting together with Eight had been on impulse, because she was worried about him after he got shot by the arrow?

It doesn't gel well, and I suppose that is what's most aggravating. Or perhaps the novel explains it better. *shrugs*

Oh, you know that hug she FINALLY gave him? I was cheering her on too! Especially after she totally took away his tiny hope by deciding against a soft caress of his cheek.

I just watched ep 12. Guuuuh, I love them so. The way he looks at her, with all that adoration and a sense of disbelief that she finally loves him back, makes my bones melt away from my body...

I don't think she had ever overcome those fears. Ruoxi accepted him in hope that she could make him fall in love with her deeply enough that he would give up his fight for the throne for her. She was trying to compromise her self preservation instincts and her love for him. But I think that deep down, she knew it wouldn't work out. She was merely trying to give her self an excuse to give in. Sort of like how we gave in to the temptation of chocolate cake, telling ourselves that we would exercise it off later, knowing we wouldn't. Also, it wasn't just because of her fear of death that makes her broke up with him. It was also the reminder of his wives. She knows that his first wife wouldn't let her be just as she didn't let her sister be. Now Ruolan just takes it all in stride, but with Ruoxi's personality, she couldn't do that. 8th could defend her once or twice, but can he every time? He's out there dealing with political problems and have to go back home to his wives fighting. How soon will he began to get tire of that and have resentment seeped in?

Yeah tell me about it. I'm swooning over Four but I still cannot get over Eight/RX's break-up. It's very very realistic in the novel. She was reminded of how horrible his 1st wife is and how she does not want to deal with that sort of domestic conflict, and she's afraid his love will wear thin with that constant conflict, not to mention she'll be sharing a husband, a concept she still doesn't accept. She only has 16 years with him (cuz she knows when he'd die) and she doesn't think it'll be a happy 16 yrs unless it's just the two of them without other people and politics. She knows things will only go downhill once the Crown Prince gets sacked (that's when the real battle starts) and that date is approaching them ever closer.
And him, he accepts her rejection because he doesn't want the same thing as RuoLan to happen, as in, he doesn't want to force her. Plus it makes sense that he'd choose his own ambition over love. But I'm here pulling my hair out because their resignations are just so easy. Like, they don't love the other more than themselves when push comes to shove. And I'm heartbroken because Eight A Ge is no longer the same after this. </3

That's interesting. I guess it's proof she never truly loved him because otherwise she wouldn't have given up so easily.

Date: 2011-09-21 07:16 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] karened.livejournal.com
Yes, not the same anymore. I wonder if it's due to a conscious effort to show less of Eight and more of Four (I find myself noticing some characteristics I never knew Four had) now, in a bid to strengthen the OTP and make us forget about the love that was never to be. Or is it really that Eight had changed...

I think 8 really had the underpinnings of ambition (how could he not?) but now that personal life is in shambles and throne is available, they come to the fore.

I don't think she ever truly loved him though - she was smitten because hes gorgeous and powerful and tragic and devoted. But I don't think she ever allowed herself to love the man, darkness and all.

I love, Love, LOVE the #8/Roxi dancing together. I'm pretty sure I was transported to another place and time while watching that scene.

It was amazing...#8 was sooo mezmerized by her.....

I don't know if I can ever not like him after seeing him with her like this....

I know! Ep 12 was beyond amazing. He's so utterly consumed by her and so loving and looks so happy, it kills me.
