Everything but the kitchen sink

dangermousieSorry for being relatively MIA for the last few days. What with Baby Mousie's birthday party, family visiting, Valentine's Day, it got a little busy. But now the family went home (boooo, I love having Mr. Mousie's parents around), the party is over (it was a big hit - 9 of her friends came and she had a blast. She's been muttering "Happy Day, Heehee [corruption of her name]" ever since and demanding cake). And V Day is behind us - it was our 11-yr anniversary. We got a babysitter and went to a dinner and a movie. Munchkin was verrrry grumpy at me this morning for 'ditching' her but eventually condescended to forgive me. Oh, and Mr. Mousie gave me an amazon gift card among other things, which I have already partially used to acquire for my kindle a book on the Tang Dynasty as well as a book on the Incas I've been eyeing for months.
Anyway, back to dramas.
1. Dream High
1. Hyemi, you are still a HBIC. Any guy who wins you, will be damn lucky.
2. Sam Dong, I don't love you the way every single other person in the fandom does, but I am glad to see you are emerging from your emo-mobile.
3. Baekhee, you are a total and utter moron. But I feel a bit sorry for you.
4. Jin Gook, I am glad your white knight complex came back full speed, but...really? Really? Aw, screw it - I love you.
5. Jason/Pilsook are adorable. But please inform me which American boy takes this long to smooch the girl he likes? Kiss already, dammit!
6. Pendant passed from BH to HM to SD to JG. Will it stay with him or go elsewhere?
2. Jade Palace Lock Heart:
I loved the 'football' game scene with Eight and QC. So funny and cute and shippy and adorable. They are like puppies, really. I mean, she was climbing all over him. And she doesn't find it weird at all she's so comfy with him and has so much fun, as compared with Four where she's all frozen and self-conscious. Of course, there's the minor fact Four is trying to get her killed to break the Eight and Concubine Qi alliance. As![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
kitkat_cat said, "he's such a dweeb." I am glad to see Su Yan is beginning to develop a bit of a spine and is refusing to kill QC on his behalf.
Kang Xi cracks me up - that's totally how a despot would behave - be used to everyone fawning over him, and be ready to behead someone at first provocation.
For some reason, the scene where Eight tossed his braid around his neck prior to the game cracks me up and up and up. I'd love a GIF.
3. Haven't had time yet to catch up this weekend's eps of New Tales of the Gisaeng but seeing that I am only watching one storyline, it won't take long. I honesntly cannot imagine any circumstances under which Saran will become a gisaeng, but supposedly she will, so I am very curious.
4. Is The Duo done with its childhood scenes yet? I want to check it out but only once adults come on the scene.
5. The first ep of the Inuyasha-type The Holy Pearl is about halfway subbed so I am going to check it out. Apparently they credited Inuyasha so it's all cool :)
ETA: Just finished the first ep and I like. It helps that I always found Gillian Chung immensely likeable on-screen though she isn't much of an actress. It's fun, animeish fantasy - not a serious materpiece or anything, but quite enjoyable. Plus, horned dude is hot.
6. The list of unsubbed cdramas that I really really would love to watch if only subs were out there is as long as my arm, but I am adding another one to it: The Conquest/The Warriors, starring Chen Kun and Sonija Kwok as star-crossed lovers in the Warring Kingdoms period (I think). There's slavery, angst, shippiness and other good things. Have a MV:
7. I've pretty much lost interest in Bu Bu Jing Xin, the upcoming period/timetravel drama with Liu Shishi, becausefishcake gave me some details on the plot and it has some really big dealbreakers for me, but I have to say the design looks gorgeous. Hellochloe posted some new stills on her blog. Go take a look :)
8. Great news! Jiang Hu picked up cdrama Iljimae for subbing! You probably know them from Legend of Condor Heroes 200, HXM's Shanghai Bund etc. They are really really really good! It will probably take them a while to get to it seeing that they are busy subbing the monster Three Kingdoms (which I am dying to watch), but when they do, it will be excellent excellent subs!
