I am quite interested in checking out The Shadow of Empress Wu because YesAsia write-up makes it sound up my alley.
Also, it apparently has Vincent Jiao in the cast and I have an unhealthy crush on him, and too few of his dramas are subbed. This MV for his character pretty much made me rabidly salivate on my screen:

So, anyone seen it/heard anything about it? And, how big a role does Vincent Jiao has in it? If it's an excellent drama, I'll get it even if his role is a glorified cameo, but it will certainly make my choice easier to know he has a significant role.
And while we are on dramas I should check out, how about The Book and the Sword 2009? I read it ages ago and barely remember anything but I do remember I liked it. And it certainly looks insanely pretty. Check out this clip:
