Period cdrama threefer
First, to cheer self up after angst in ep 21 of Young Warriors of the Yang Clan,
I looooove Eighth Sis. She can get even to the reserved Four. Heee. She's basically the Yang family secret weapon. This scene made me LOL and awww.
How I adore Seven and his goofy faces and his sunny loving personality and his optimism and his loyalty. LOVE.
And among sibling relationsips I adore are Six and Little Sis (I think she's the closest to him of all the brothers because he can be so mischievous and is so easy-going yet grown-up) and Four and Seven because they are so close now and Seven makes Four crack up and Four teaches Seven martial arts, and it's a really adorable big bro/little bro relationship which is so huge from where they started and is all thanks to Seven.
Four looking happy. I love how he slowly and gradually accepted his family and became this relaxed and better-adjusted person who smiles occasionally (though he's still a lot more terse and tense than the rest of his siblings).
Actually, I am forced to conclude that Four is currently my favorite brother, followed by Seven then Six. But that is bound to change because I seem to favor whichever brother(s) the story focuses on and it's been rather Four-centric lately. The moment it switches to Six or Seven, I bet that brother will become my fave :)
And speaking of Six, I love him and his "non love" with Princess Chai. Dummy, please realize you love her asap.
Awwwww. I love Mama Yang and Four interactions because it's clear she's the happiest to see him back and he craves her love the most (I mean, sure, he wants Daddy Yang and siblings' care, but not as much as Mama's).
Now, to a normal person, h/c isn't a happy scene but since it all ends happily and adds a frisson of desperation to my OTP, I am all for it.
Six, how I love you and your brain and your awesomeness and your everything.
Please don't be sad, Seven, I can't bear it!
OK, OK, happy thoughts! Here, have my fave OTP!
This isn't really a fluffy scene but I like the cap of four brothers together. I wonder if Four and Five will ever like each other. Hmmmm.
Note to self - be grateful there isn't a large English-language fandom for this out there. The incest slash fanfic would be through the roof.
And speaking of Yang brothers, since I am the type of person who likes to retread things until they are dead and skeletal, I plan to check out Warriors of the Yang Clan (not to be confused with YWotYC), the twdrama starring Alec Su and Chae Rim and focusing almost exclusively on Four and his OTP, who in this version is Minister Pan's daughter (!!!!). I was browsing youtube for clips to get a better feel and found this. brb, loling (and swooning just a bit) forever.
Click to viewI guess the importation of Chae Rim meant they simply had to have the infamous 'kdrama shower scene' or as close as they could get to it in a period cdrama. My interest = peaked. LOL. Though I have to admit Alec Su is very "neutral" for me - I don't find him sexy but I don't find him unattractive either. So it will all depend on how I like his character. Seeing his tendency to take baths with ladies nearby, I'll probably like him a lot :P
last but not least, finall found the gorgeous ending theme for Jade Palace Lock Heart. So good! Both the song and the clips they picked.
