Best first meeting ever - y/y?
I have come to the conclusion that Too Late To Say I Love You is pretty much created by my id. I squealed like an idiot when I watched how Warlord and Heroine met. This is pretty much the coolest first meeting for an OTP in any drama I can think of.
Our heroine is a merchant, travelling first-class on a train from Russia through war-torn Chinese territory. Soldiers are searching for someone on the train, and our heroine has just found the quarry hiding in her cabin...
Then the soldiers come into her cabin and are about to take the guy away. And our heroine, who doesn't know the man from a hole in the ground, intervenes, very coolly and composedly. Mmm, Heroine, you are awesome!
Yessssss! You know, any drama that has the couple making out in ep 1, to fool pursuers by using open mouths, is going to be awesome!
Pissed-off heroine goes for the slap...
Warlord thanks her for saving his life. After she slapped him. OTP! OTP!
Bwahahahahahahaa. Heroine is ridiculously awesome. And I totally love the way they look at each other.
Then they have a conversation about the meaning of life etc. As one does, with total strangers who you just saved from the military and then smacked for taking liberties.
Little do they know, the excitement is only beginning...The soldiers are back, and this time they won't be fobbed off with a lie and a pass.
I can't cap action scenes very well because these aren't the crispest vids, but suffice it to say, they get chased by the soldiers through the train, and Warlord inflicts some major major damage...it's kinda sexy, which says disturbing things about me.
They jump off the train and continue to run...
Warlord does some more major damage. You know, if you living in a warn-torn scary time, you can do a lot worse for a marital prospect than the guy who can take out a small army single-handed, while also shielding heroine with his own body.
Make that "almost single-handed." Heroine picks up a rifle and knocks away the gun of the dude who is about to shoot Warlord point-blank. That's twice she's saved his life, and we are barely 20 minutes into the drama.
Finally in safe territory. The fact that Warlord is a BAMF goes without saying, but I want to talk about the awesomeness of the heroine. She saved a total stranger even though the risks were crazy (and she's smart so she knows them), bantered with him in Chinese and Russian, then had to go on the run for her life and was super-efficient, didn't have fits or blame him, but instead helped take out the pursuers. She rocks.
He gives her his watch as a thank-you and goes away. I just know the watch is going to come baaaaaack. I've seen a drama or a hundred in my life.
