Weeping and swooning at the same time...
Because I am a masochist, I watched the ending of Huang Xiaoming's Shanghai Bund (though I am barely a few eps in - I was waiting for it to be completely subed).
Yeah, the hero interrupts the wedding of his OTP to his former best friend in order to complete his vengeance against the Mob Boss, his OTP's father, by shooting him and his henchmen.
And then gets shot by his former best friend as his OTP watches and they flashback to when they were together and happy and she starts screaming.
And then we get the montage of ultimate depressingness.
GREAT.
Just great. What do I expect when I watch a Chinese Mob story? Also, he's dead, but leaving that awfulness aside, pretty much every character is screwed - there's no way she or former best friend can ever have even a functional marriage now. Oh my God.
I am going to go bang my head against the wall now, kthanks. Right after I obsessively marathon this baby. Period mob stories with angst and Huang Xiaoming, who's arguably the most gorgeous man alive? Thank you, drama gods! And Jiang Hu subbers.
