I haven't yet watched eps 8-10 because I am saving them for the weekend, but I cannot let the day go without making a BBJX post. This one is dedicated to how ridiculously gorgeous this drama is. It just may be the prettiest drama I've seen.
I love the way they frame their shots like they do a painting:
This is from an earlier ep but I adore this sequence so here we go...
I continue my fascination with the elaborate hair ornaments. How do they not get massive headaches?
The set and costume design make me want expire from the gorgeousness...The amount of work must have been insane.
And look at the layered dresses:
Even seemingly plain garments are gorgeous due to the cut and quality of material:
Here because I love Four but also because the design on his collar is totally awesome.
I love how complex everyone is. Take Eight's first wife - she is petty and bitchy to Ruolan and Ruoxi but she really loves Eight. I just feel sorry for her, being in a society where a woman's whole worth is measured by a man and that is her sole outlet. I also love that while Eight doesn't love her, he respects her and treats her well. (Side note - I have no idea how KC manages to be so freaking gorgeous with that hair but I don't care!)
Ummm, are they an OTP or am I getting overly hormonal?
My Four/Ruoxi shipper loved this part...
Though sorry, Four, you are not the only one getting special cups and smiles from the resident tea guru :)
And this part! (Btw, I've decided Four = Fanon!Snape. My brain is odd).
