dangermousieIn case you wondered about my recent interest in Chinese period drama Handsome Siblings (this will be the first mainland Chinese drama I watch), I present the below music vid (yup, ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
meganbmoore already posted it on her LJ).
Very briefly summarized, HS (also known as Proud Twins and Xiao Yu Er Yu Hua Wu Que) is the story of two brothers separated at birth who both grow up to be fearsome fighters and coincidentally meet when grown up. Little Fish (Dicky Cheung) is laid back and mouthy. Flawless Flower (Nicholas Tse. Preach it, sisters, with that name! Heh :)) is as serious and reserved as Little Fish is not.
I confess to mainly being interested because of Nicholas Tse's storyline. His character falls in love with the girl he meets in a battle tournament, and there is angsty, forbidden, OTP-squeeful love.
Shall I enumerate the reasons?
1. Nicholas Tse
2. Nicholas Tse with long hair and sword
3. Nicholas Tse angsting with long hair and sword
4. Nicholas Tse angsting over his OTP with long hair and sword
5. Nicholas Tse having an angsty star-crossed OTP (he meets her in combat tournament, YES). With a cool girl and hugging and kissing and crying.
6. Did I mention that when not with a sword, he fights with steel tipped fans. And still defeats people. Now that is pretty freaking awesome.
7. Nicholas Tse was the only guy brought up by women fighters group who punish men who in their estimation wrong women. Except for him, they kept every guy around in cages. And from what I can see, they eventually put Nicholas Tse in a cage.Sounds like a yummy idea. For falling in love. Thank you, writers!
8. Both the heroines (the heroes' OTPs) are cool and not wimpy.
9. The other brother also appears OK though I admit to a markedly smaller degree of interest in him. But he fights people which always earns points.
10. Did I mention Nicholas Tse? In white.
Anyway, vid:
