Where I ramble largely on feminism in Delightful Girl Chun Hyang (+ a few comments on other dramas)

May 11, 2007 20:23

I think Delightful Girl Chun-Hyang is one of the most positively feminist dramas I've seen, and Chun-Hyang one of the most feminist heroines out there. Dramas are often populated by boy obsessed, cheerful scatterbrains. There is nothing wrong with that, as they can be adorable. But it's so nice to see a clever, strong heroine that isn't any less ( Read more... )

A sword AND a fan...seriously...I'm not sure which he's better with. Actually, both guys are pretty good at making anything a weapon.

I am quite excited. I am going to check out first ep and if I like it, purchase time :)

*tacks dragon tiger gate onto the order* *whistles*

LOL. Evil. :)

That one I am going to DL actually. (Or maybe netflix has it).

I am actually planning to get a boxed set from ebay (for Handsome Siblings). I prefer box-sets. Hopefully subs will be OK.

Please tell me Nicholas Tse has an OTP in this one.

Btw, I also want to get Emperor of the Sea, Jumong, and Chinese Palladin. I see a period dramas binge :)

In Dragon Tiger Gate?

Urm...kinda...it's rather open as to which brother she'd end up with. She and Tse are cute, but it's more the "I have a crush on you now, but in a few months it'll turn into BFF" kind of cute...she and Donnie Yen's character give off psycho OTP vibes, though. Actually, I rather hope they do a sequel...the ending has an "end of storyarc" feel more than a "end of story" feel(but then, it's a comic book movie...)

YesAsia-TaiSeng seems to be putting out a lot of cdramas at decent prices, so I'm likely going to start getting those myself.

It will be a good binge. *assumes Jumong is good*

Heh. I am all for Donnie Yen getting the girl in DTG. I mean in Handsome Siblings (I want Tse to have an OTP in that one).

Ah. Yeah, Looks like he gets the girl. The one I've already met, I mean. There's another female listed as a lead, so I'm assuming she ends up with the other guy(one thing about cdramas: If you're on the losing end of a love triangle, fear not, you'll have your own otp by the end...unless you all die)
