Anyone here a fan of Wallace Huo?
Or more specifically, Wallace Huo's face?
I wasn't planning on watching The Journey of Flower (花千骨), Wallace's latest fantasy-wuxia drama, but holy crap, just look at him!
I knew from watching Swordman that Wallace could pull off the ancient drama look as well as he does modern styles, but I didn't expect him to look so breathtakingly beautiful in The Journey of Flower. I mean, this is a drama that I've written news articles about, and I've seen these pictures posted by other people before, but for some reason, it never really hit me how beautiful he was until I was watching the actual drama.
I could talk about the plot of the drama, but I'm not really an expert on the storyline, having never read the novel that it's based on, and let's be honest, I'm not really watching for the plot! LOL. I'm not even really watching for the romance between him and Zhao Liying, which is one of those taboo master-disciple relationships, although they do have a cute chemistry together. They are not really "together" as of yet, though. I imagine the angst will shoot through the roof once that happens.
Anyhow, I'm already 12 episodes in, despite telling myself to just "check it out." Looks like I will continue checking it out until all 54 episodes are released. Luckily, the drama only airs on Tuesdays and Wednesdays, so it's not like the usual crazy cdrama release schedule.
I predict I will have nothing of worth to add to my ramblings about The Journey of Flower, since I am basically just drooling over Wallace, so have a bunch of pictures below. Oh, and can we have him star in an ancient drama with Liu Yifei someday? Seeing him in all white really reminded me of Liu Yifei as Xiaolongnv in Return of the Condor Heroes.
I really love that crown hairpiece or whatever thing he has going on. It's such a simple stylistic addition, and yet you can see how exquisitely designed it is. A+ in fashion. (Not that that means much, coming from me. xD)
I think this scene below is where I really fell for Bai Zihua (Wallace's character). I even made a gifset of it on Tumblr. Basically, Hua Qiangu (Zhao Liying) is fighting a bunch of baddies to protect her sect, and even though it's obvious she isn't strong enough to defeat the leader, she strikes up a deal saying that if she can withstand three of his attacks, he will take his followers and leave. His second attack already has her sprawled on the floor spitting blood, but she gets up to take the third attack, which will probably kill her. So she meets the third attack hand-to-hand, and the leader ends up being blasted away from her. Shocked, she turns around to see that Bai Zihua had mysteriously arrived to lend her some of his power. Then she promptly faints in his arms, because what else would you do around Wallace Huo, right?
Even when you can see the wires that he's hanging from, he still has an ethereal beauty to him!
I'm including this last pic because it's actually my favorite Wallace look in the drama. (Yes, his long luscious locks of hair are very pretty, but I've realized that this is probably my favorite male hairstyle in ancient dramas. Looking back, it probably stems from when Vincent Jiao sported something similar in The Switch.) This is from the first episode, when Bai Zihua descended to the mortal realms to meditate or something or other (clearly, this is very important). He saves Hua Qiangu from a monster, introduces himself as Mo Bing, and becomes her very first friend (apart from her dad, who dies soon thereafter). Over the next few days, he tries to teach her some kung fu and then leaves without saying good-bye. Obviously, Qiangu has developed a crush on this extremely handsome stranger, so she goes off looking for him, and that's pretty much how the story gets rolling.
