The Myth The Myth The Myth
I am so in love with this MV for the OTP of The Myth:
You know, I have not been THIS obsessed about a drama for years - maybe not even since all the time long ago when they were airing Silence and I would watch raws for a drama I did not understand a word of, and for which I learned to download.
You know the level of my obsession?
1. I have been watching this for less than 48 hours and I am on episode 20 already
2. I am downloading raws and plan to make softsubs from viikii subs - (a) I do not know how to time and will be learning and (b) this drama is 50 eps long - that is a LOT of timing/subbing.
3. I am this close to buying an unsubbed dvd set from YesAsia just so I could look at the gorgeousness on my screen.
It as if someone has looked around my brain and found out what would be a perfect drama for me and made it. (I skip the modern story almost entirely - from what I've seen it's good but my emotional investment is 100% with the period part of it). It has everything - darkness, romance, bravery, gorgeous shots. It is complex enough that I and fire-snake had plenty to talk about (in-between admiring Hu Ge's inhumanly gorgeous bone structure - I am developing an unhealthy fixation on him). It reminds me a little of Hard to Be a God by Arkady and Boris Strugatsky, one of my favorite novels.
P.S. Liu Bang and Lu Zhi scare the hell out of me but not as much as Zhao Gao does. I don't think any main character except for the alcoholic doctor is fully sane any more, but the three of them - scary. Beyond scary.
P.P.S. This is bucking for my favorite drama ever status.
P.P.P.S. My friend fire_snake had never seen a drama before nor had any interest - she has never been interested much in any Asian entertainment in general - but she has watched all the eps with me so far in a crazy marathon, demanded links for the rest, went scrounging for spoilers, and has totally fallen for the drama and Hu Ge. I love my friends.
