Mystery in the Palace - yet another drama to be added to my 'upcoming' pile
Fair warning: while I watch kdramas the most, I go through fits where all I want to do is watch j/tw/cdramas for a while. I believe a cdrama fit is upon me.
Anyway, if you, like me, got obsessed with Kevin Cheng after tuning in to BBJX or you like him (or pretty period pieces) in general, you might view the upcoming Mystery in the Palace as manna from heaven. Or an AU involving Eight in which he gets a girl and doesn't gruesomely die.
Yes, whether because he became enamoured of the Qing hairstyle (which he is one of few men I've seen pull off) and was loath to give it up or for some other reason, Kevin Cheng stars in another Qing era drama, the upcoming Mystery of the Palace. I don't know much about the plot, but I do know he doesn't play any of the princes, which makes me hope for at least a possibility of this not being a top-to-bottom angstfest. hanjae (I believe) told me his character is in love with Kang Xi's bastard daughter. So yes, definitely not one of the princes unless this drama is going to be a lot weirder than I thought.
So yes, vvvvv excited. Especially since I seem to have fallen madly with Qing style for clothes, hair ornaments etc (minus the braid, though I believe I've watched enough of that to slowly become immune and even brainwashed that is can be attractive. Send help!)

I am hoping this will be more lighthearted and less of the 'rocks fall and everyone dies. Then are all resurrected to be painfully murdered again' variety.
