Conquering the Qin Dynasty with his hotness since 207 B.C.
The awesome cdrama crack-dealer mookiehyun has just posted a few pictures from the upcoming Chu-Han Contention (go check them, she also has character descriptions of sorts) and me, being me, this is the one I glommed onto:
Yes. This is Peter Ho in costume as Xiang Yu, the legendary warrior king who destroyed the Qin.
!!!!!!!!!!
I have a historical crush mad passion for the man, mainly because of the deadly warrior + angsty angsty love story combo involved but also because the previous two times he appeared in dramas Ive seen (as the main character's friend in The Myth and as one of the protagonists of The Story of Han) I was obsessed with his character (hmmm, time to get back to Story of the Han - I loved what I saw. Hu Jun mmmmmm).
And I am a huge Peter Ho fangirl.
So put the two together and you get heaven...
Plus, Peter Ho rocked it out of the park as Lu Bu in this director's previous masterpiece (because it was a masterpiece - the best Chinese drama I've ever seen, and arguably the best drama period) Three Kingdoms. And Xiang Yu is pretty much Lu Bu (at least in the TK 2010 version) with more brains (and apparently more scruff and grime. MMMMMMM).
I need this to be out already! Also, have they cast the ladies yet? I don't know who I want for Lu Zhi, but I desperately want Liu Shi Shi for Consort Yu, even if that is very unlikely to happen. Mainly because I was a mad Four/Lady Doc shipper in Young Warriors and I want a second go-around (unlikely to end up happier than the first, sadly). Plus, she is so very gorgeous, which Consort Yu needs to be.
And I posted this before, but I like being a pusher, so here is the Xiang Yu/Consort Yu MV from The Story of the Han, scored to the theme song from The Myth.
I have no idea why the Liu Bang - Xiang Yu rivalry is the hot thing in c-ent now, but I don't care, I just want to reap the rewards.
