Myolie Wu and Feng Shao Feng in Schemes of a Beauty - Part 1

[dangermousie]

As you can probably tell by now, SoaB and I are not working out. But if there is one thing I loved unqualifiedly about it, it was Feng Shao Feng and Myolie Wu as Liu Zhang and Lu Yu - their story was everything I love in dramas and I ended up wishing the drama was about them entirely. I loved their story and their characters and their chemistry.

I read half the post, and skipped to the comments parts.

I AM SO GONNA WATCH THIS.
No.
I AM SO GONNNA WATCH THIS SUBPLOT.

And maybe the MickyxYangmi one. Do you remember when the two pairs make their appearance? I'm only gonna watch them and skip all other parts...or do you reckon it'll be very hard to understand things fully (e.g. the background of the Liu and Lu enmity)?

As you'd probably have realised, drama cliches work big time for me.

It's easy to watch just FSF/Myolie. They appear only in eps 16-21 and you don't really need to know much of anything of background stuff from the drama as it's all explained in their scenes.

Mikey/Yang Mi is trickier because it's a lot more woven into the main story. I've been skipping just to their scenes in the non-FSF/Mylie eps to be honest and haven't really gotten confused with what is going one.

Yeah, I'd weep too if I was married to FSF and he refused to touch me in any fashion.

LOLOLOLLL.

Myolie/FSF parts were so cute, but there were WAY too little of them. They were in all of 5 episodes or something. Serious oversight on Yu Zheng's part not to reduce Ruby's screen time and share it out between Myolie/FSF and Yang Mi/Mickey He instead. How can stuff about Empress Dou take precedence over hot general trying to get it on with gorgeous assassin? :/ I do not understand.

Hey! This sort of misfortune would rank on par of having sexy warrior Hu Ge as your brother (see Chinese Paladin 3). Talk about a waste!

Yup, they were only in eps 16-21. I don't know what Yu Zheng was on when he made this - we got way too much of boring Ruby looking saintly while having repetitive schemes, and not enough of aristocrat who overthrows the Lus while having a mad OTP with one of them, and a sexy sexy sexy general having a forbidden angsty thing with assassin loyal to his enemies which involves doomed battles and self-inflicted wounds and God-knows what else. Why? I'd so much rather watch a drama about Mikey He/Yang Mi or FSF/Myolie than the boring-as-dirt main story.

[hanjae]

Or having Jimmy Lin as your half-brother. Talk about a test of your principles and self-restraint.

Mickey/Yang Mi is clearly doomed; they're not paired up in YZ's upcoming Mei Ren Tian Xia either. At least FSF/Myolie were paired twice. And I was even sadder when Liu Heng (Sammul) kicked it, because then we were left with Ruby and sexy general at the end.

[dangermousie]

Yeah, the Jimmy Lin think if DG&SD made me really sympathize with the half-sis. LOL.

I am not touching MRTX - a double doze of Ming Dao? Not even if they had Hu Ge AND Feng Shao Feng parade around naked.

Hey. I'm a big fan of Feng Shao and Myolie too. mostly because I'm a big fan of Myolie.

I wonder if you're interested in this drama: http://en.viki.com/channels/3017-huan-xi-po-po-qiao-xi-fu

[dangermousie]

Ooooh, this does look good. I foresee a binge.

[splendidlure]

yeah. unfortunately, the subbing has stopped for whatever reason. I want to continue watching so badly too.

[dangermousie]

Oooh, no subs? Boo.

On the plus side, YZ's dramas often have official dvd sets with subs (I own both Red Snow and FWC), so maybe there'll be a set.
