Yes, they are the cutest couple ever! My favourite OTP involving one of the Yang brothers. She showed up way to late for my liking though, they barely had time together as husband and wife.

Hey, just thought you'd like to see interviews and stuff Yang Mi and Feng Shao Gang are doing to promote JPLH.

:P

Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah!

So cute!

And what's that mention of another upcoming drama? Presumably a different one from JPLH sequel?

Well, the title of the new drama references a famous event during the Warring States period involving the Tiger 'Amulet' of Wei, which basically gives military authority equivalent of the Wei emperor to whomever holds it. Historically, the Wei emperor's concubine Ru stole the amulet to give to Xin Lingjun, a prominent (not noble but something similar) political mover-and-shaker in Zhao, in order to fend off Qin (of Qin dynasty fame). This sort of thing, of course, was frowned upon, and when the Wei emperor threw the expected hissy fit, Concubine Ru replied that she did this in service of both Wei (to weaken a potential conqueror) and to avenge her father, who was a regional lord, and presumably killed in battle before she was married to the Wei emperor. Later, after the emperor sends her to the 'cold palace' (don't know if there is an English equivalent), she commits suicide at her father's grave ( ... )

Aww, that's unfortunate that the subs used "reject" instead of "object" in that scene where Mama comes home.

What's totally totally amazing is that it never even crossed his mind to doubt Mama or be bothered by her previous relationship or be jealous of his "love-rival". In that way he is very Guo Jing-esque and that's probably why I'm head-over-heels in love with him (Guo Jing from the LOCH novel was my first Wuxia crush).

The subs get a bit iffy now and then, but seeing as if it wasn't for them, I wouldn't be able to follow this at all, I do not mind.

I've only seen the 2008 version of LOCH, I haven't read the novel, but I adored GJ in that.

Ohhh Lee Seung Chul ♥ I love that man. How amazing was his song, "That Person", for the Baker King OST? I kept hoping he'd perform it live, but all I could find were the Baker King MVs using the song.

Have you heard Boohwal's recent collab with Park Wan Kyu, "Secret"? I liked it so much I made a ringtone out of it. I was hoping they'd do a collab with Lee Seung Chul next, but considering poor Grandma Tae Won's stomach cancer, I wonder whether that'll happen now.

Their live performance at Yoo Hee Yeol's Sketchbook! The song is AMAZING, and as usual written by Kim Tae Won.
