Star-crossed lovers with sharp pointy weapons: Bichunmu (Chinese/Korean coproduction)

[dangermousie]

OMG.

I have a new drama obsession.

And it's a very unlikely one.

It is the Chinese-Korean collaboration Bichunmu (also known as Bichunmoo and Dance in the Sky). There is a Korean movie of the same name. Both the drama and the movie are based on the same source

The one problem I have with the looks of this series, and that I've had since hearing about it, is that they seem to have made Sullie a warrior woman. Now, my love for such is rather well documented, but one thing I liked about the movie was that Sullie WASN'T yet another warrior woman, but a "proper lady" of the times. It also looks like the ending won't be as amazingly OTT melodramatic like the movie(where I am convinced only her awesome brother had a brain) We shall see on both fronts.

But the hero went up many levels of hot between adaptations(and, it seems, the actor may have since Musa, too...)

I hope they don't change her husband, though. I liked that they didn't take the easy route and make him evil and a bad husband and father, but rather a man who did a Very Wrong Thing to be with the one he loved, but did seem to genuinely love her and the son(who he probably knew wasn't his...I can't recall exactly)

Her becming a warrior woman is one of my fave things. Ornamental court lady is more realistc but less fun.

Re: ending. It would be hard to make it more ridiculous than the movie. I like the movie and like cheese but I really rolled my eyes.

The court lady aspect was rather crucial to the plot, as far as her role in it goes, which is my chief concern about that.

The ending was just...virtually every person that kid knew and loved just killed themselves in front of them...though, it is important to note that that's how hot damaged warriors come to be...

hmmm....

SEQUEL!!! I now cry! SEQUEL!!!!

I am trying to remember why her being a court lady was crucial. *don't spoil me though, I'd rather be ignorant for now, with the drama* I actually don't remember her being crucial to the political plot, except as love interest of hero/mother of his kid/daughter of evil dude. But that movie was a little too muddled for me anyway.

Re: double death. Seriously. She keels over telling him to live for their kid, so the first thing he does? Offs himself in front of the child. Yeah.

In the drama, it at least makes sense. They are not with the kid, and they are in battle. He is a rebel leader, so I can't see why he won't be 'right, got a famly now, I am going now, bye, rebellion is over.' And she is a warrior with a grown son, so her choice also makes sense.

That movie's ending? LOL.

I am the evil pusher, after all.

But yeah, I get so confused with all the ones I want to watch at once!
