Myolie Wu and Feng Shao Feng in Schemes of a Beauty - Part 1

[dangermousie]

As you can probably tell by now, SoaB and I are not working out. But if there is one thing I loved unqualifiedly about it, it was Feng Shao Feng and Myolie Wu as Liu Zhang and Lu Yu - their story was everything I love in dramas and I ended up wishing the drama was about them entirely. I loved their story and their characters and their chemistry.

Yeah, I'd weep too if I was married to FSF and he refused to touch me in any fashion.

LOLOLOLLL.

Myolie/FSF parts were so cute, but there were WAY too little of them. They were in all of 5 episodes or something. Serious oversight on Yu Zheng's part not to reduce Ruby's screen time and share it out between Myolie/FSF and Yang Mi/Mickey He instead. How can stuff about Empress Dou take precedence over hot general trying to get it on with gorgeous assassin? :/ I do not understand.

Hey! This sort of misfortune would rank on par of having sexy warrior Hu Ge as your brother (see Chinese Paladin 3). Talk about a waste!

Yup, they were only in eps 16-21. I don't know what Yu Zheng was on when he made this - we got way too much of boring Ruby looking saintly while having repetitive schemes, and not enough of aristocrat who overthrows the Lus while having a mad OTP with one of them, and a sexy sexy sexy general having a forbidden angsty thing with assassin loyal to his enemies which involves doomed battles and self-inflicted wounds and God-knows what else. Why? I'd so much rather watch a drama about Mikey He/Yang Mi or FSF/Myolie than the boring-as-dirt main story.

Or having Jimmy Lin as your half-brother. Talk about a test of your principles and self-restraint.

Mickey/Yang Mi is clearly doomed; they're not paired up in YZ's upcoming Mei Ren Tian Xia either. At least FSF/Myolie were paired twice. And I was even sadder when Liu Heng (Sammul) kicked it, because then we were left with Ruby and sexy general at the end.

Yeah, the Jimmy Lin think if DG&SD made me really sympathize with the half-sis. LOL.

I am not touching MRTX - a double doze of Ming Dao? Not even if they had Hu Ge AND Feng Shao Feng parade around naked.

[hanjae]

LOL Ming Dao with some kind of old man hairstyle, too. You know, like those wise old martial arts masters in wuxia dramas; the ones with whispy hair that get killed off immediately after they've imparted whatever knowlege to hero.

Feng Shao Feng probably has some kind of ridiculously small role, because I haven't even seen a single picture of him in MRTX. However, I have seen what they've done with the women's hair, and I DO NOT LIKE. Yang Mi looks like a 30-year-old matron. Will post pictures later.

[dangermousie]

Some people look good with that hair, Ming Dao is not one of them.

Yang Mi is in that? Please tell me not as MD's love interest. Actually, you can tell me if she is. Nothing can make me watch this in any event. Ming Dao *shudder*

I am just glad FSF is popular enough to star in plenty of dramas without puppetmaster Yu Zheng.

[hanjae]

Ming Dao doesn't look good in anything.

She was pretty far down on the cast list, but she's on the cover posters and so on, so either she has a bigger role than I thought or Yu Zheng's just using her face as promotion. But I don't think she's MD's love interest, no worries! The pictures I've seen have him either with the female lead or with someone else. LOL I'd just feel sorry for Yang Mi if she was paired with MD; not to mention I'd hate it if they ever got a chance to pair up, because there'll always be people waiting to fangirl over them. That would only encourage Yu Zheng to mess around with the Gong movie more and maybe even continue this trend of casting MD with Yang Mi in the future. *shudders*

Ming Dao doesn't look good in anything.

Oh, I am sure he'd look good covered in a burlap sack from head to toe :P

I would be shocked in Yang Mi's role in that drama is more than a glorified cameo, which is just as well.
