Seven ♥ I started watching this expecting to love Six the most because I love Hu Ge, but Eddie Peng stole the show for me. Loving your YWotYC posts, but haven't commented much, because it was a while since I watched it and can't remember that much.

I've seen Alec Su in a few dramas and am not a big fan of him, but I might check this out if you like it.

Seven really is so wonderful. I wonder what else Eddie Peng has been in because he totally won my heart in this drama.

I've never seen Alec Su in anything - we'll see how this goes.

I'm currently watching Alec Su in the original Princess Pearl (Huan Zhu Ge Ge), and I too feel extremely neutral about him. He's not particularly offensive, but nor is there anything about his performance I especially like.

He just comes across as very boyish which isn't something I go gaga over. His vibe seems innofensive and nice enough but nothing to make me obsessed or have a strong reaction. But we'll see once I watch a drama proper of his.

You make me want to watch this despite the high episode count and the rocks-fall-everybody-dies ending. (You said Six is okay at the end, but what about Eight?! What happens to her?)

Eight is fine too. So watchhhhhhhhhhhhhh. Just don't be a Four, Five or Seven fan :(

The ending theme! If only you knew how beautiful the lyrics to this song is. Even translating it cannot bring across the very poetic arrangement of sentences and choice of words. <3

Oh, now I am curious. I can't wait for more eps. I've been haunting withs2 to an unhealthy degree.

I hope they bring back Seven soon! I love him! He's both funny and loveable and awesome.

I loved the bit with Eighth sis where she confronts Six over his whole "older is better" speech because that would mean she was the worst. LOL.

Seven and Eight are a deadly combo.

I love Five to bits. Love love love. Love his awkward courtship (he makes Six seem smooth), love his love for Eighth sis and his loyalty to his parents. But he and Four are like oil and water. Best kept apart.

Yelu Xie just annoys me. No, she is never going to like you. You are hereditary enemy who kidnapped her at one point and want to conquer her homeland. This is not going to work out. Plus, Five is so much cuter (agreed) and also on the same side she is.

LOL apparently I ended a sentence before it should be ended. I really meant, "I love [Five] and his OTP (), and he could be the top fighter in the realm and all, but he really is clueless when it comes to interpersonal relationships."

I was SOOOOOOOOO anxious during all those YLX/Blacksmith scenes. He's so much smoother than Five and I can see that he truly loves her, and she clearly isn't completely unmoved by him. Given how uninitiated Blacksmith is in matters of love and emotions and courtship, I wouldn't really blame her if she did cave. But DO NOT WANT. Five, you really need to make a move asap. I know you have personal differences with Four, but maybe you can learn from him on that front. Going by seniority you're up next anyway. So JUST ASK HER.

The thing, no matter how smooth, sincere and good-looking, I can't see how she can pick someone who's basically her country's enemy. But Five really should speak up soon.

lol the alec su version, i saw this years ago in preference over the peter ho version i am currently marathoning. lol i remember the theme song!

i grew up with alec su on tv and the radio, and the first drama he did was HuanZhu ge ge i think, where i thought he acquited himself quite well. i think he's ok in most things, although i think his small stature and boyish face really limits him.

He does look very boyish. It doesn't make me swoon all over him (I like my drama guys as angsty studmuffins most of the time :P) but it doesn't bother me either. We'll see how it goes.

The height thing doesn't bug me - the big Bolly stars I love are all close to midget height :P
