Aghhhhhh. This looks better and better, download faster cursed machine. Smart and cunning heroine, love those. Judging by the way he looks at her psycho Legolas is a goner, delicious. If they are OTP then they are probably doomed, this being Asian historical. Never mind, this looks great. Episode one is downloaded, off to watch.
Well, if he was the best warrior, he must have gotten a lot of knocks to the head over time which would probably explain lack of braininess.
You don't need to dangle carrots - I am obsessed with this drama as is. Just finished ep 3 and how does it get better and better? I am in love with Cao Cao which is disturbing me because the man is a monster but I can't stop!
Re: ship. I am pretty unspoiled (as I am for most everything in the story except I know that eventually Cao Cao gets to be Mr. N1 Warlord), except I rewatched a vid I posted when I just started and I realized that it was all about the final fate of the ship. Me being me, the kind of stuff that ended up happening made me even more obsessed :) Sometimes I wonder about my tastes and then realized I must have read too much angsty French adventure novels as a kid and got warped.
the ship gets 'better' for delicious angst soon, I think it's sth u r not expecting. ;)
I havent read angsty French adventure so I wouldnt know if that's a trope u can guess happening... but I expect u spazzing and we'll have a ball tagging along HAHAHA
OK, now you got me madly curious. I am still not looking it up though because for once I am enjoying being unspoiled :)
My two fave French adventure novels involved (1) evil dude killing heroine's husband and kidnapping her due to grudge against her husband and her husband has to track her down through half of Africa and fight off crocodiles and (2) famous duelist falling for woman married to Prince d'Anjou's favorite with a lot of adultery and grisly ending thrown in.
Unlikely to find either crocodiles or Prince d'Anjou in China :)
Well, I don't think he can take her to a teahouse. I don't think any ladies except for those of easy virtue would go to one with an unrelated man :) I guess you had to be more creative back then. Maybe he could invite her to watch him fight various enemy soldiers from the battlements or something? Though a public hanging sounds like a more peaceful alternative, seeing that they are from enemy political factions, with her being on the 'rebel' side, there would be a good chance someone hanged would be a friend of her family which would put a damper on the dating atmosphere.
OMG no more dramas my lady! I am going to go crazy trying not to watch all your recommendations ahahahaha! I have enough Korean, Thai, and now Cdramas to follow, I definitely do not have time to add any more to the list! Life and work get in the way of all my drama love (sighs) maybe in another lifetime I will speak Mandarin, Korean, and Japanese just so I can watch all my dramas at leisure!
So I've never actually read the book or watched any of the adaptation of this (not even Red Cliff); but once my dad realized my Chinese would never get good enough to wade through the thick classic in the original Chinese, basically told me all of the stories about what happened. :D So I'm pretty sure I know where the Diaochan storyline goes!

That's how I feel when I download.

This is an Asian historical, thus they are doomed even if they remained virgins their whole lives, so we might as well have shippy fun :)

FYI: Lu Bu was regarded as the best warrior with not much brains (compared to all the super smartasses around him)

Life is hard if you are a warlord.

Second, I love to spread my obsessions. But no hurry with this one - it's still being subbed.

I did get an English translation of the book but I am holding off until I finish the drama :)
