So the actress for Diaochan looks super-familiar and I tried to figure out why, but aside from a cdrama years ago that I dropped halfway through because it was long and I got bored, she hasn't been in anything else that I've seen. I think. (There is a period of my life in which my parents made the viewing decisions, and I didn't bother remember the names of any of the Chinese historical dramas we watched, and there is a large likelihood that she was in something I saw at that point in my life.)
But it turns out, I have seen some of her music videos before. Who knew.
Anyway, I thought you might be interested to know that Diaochan is one of the Four Great Beauties in Chinese history. Presumably, there were many beautiful women, but there were only four who were Historically Significant enough to get legends. So her legend is that she used to take baths outside at night (I think my parents told me she would take baths in milk, to make her skin more porcelain-white), and the moon was ashamed that it wasn't as beautiful as she was,
( ... )
i think the actress was in Tian Long Ba Bu and was the one that ripped her transplanted eyes out before picking up Qiao Feng and stepping off the cliff together.
And that was far from the craziest thing that happened in Tian Long Ba Bu. You should check it out if it's available in English subs, I think you'll like it?
Oh my, this stuff is GREAT. I wasn't sure whether to laugh or to cry during the pseudo-proposal -- it was so well-done and yet so funny. He seemed so much like a stubborn little boy.
Thanks for sharing, though, and I hope you function okay today. :)

The bit about him insisting he is going to stay kneeling until she says yes did remind me of my toddler ;P
