Mystery in the Palace - yet another drama to be added to my 'upcoming' pile

[dangermousie]

Fair warning: while I watch kdramas the most, I go through fits where all I want to do is watch j/tw/cdramas for a while. I believe a cdrama fit is upon me.

do you have an spcnet account? and do you typically hang out in the drama forum? i tend to hang in the actress forum, occasionally straying into the drama section

[dangermousie]

I mainly lurk :P

This must be a culture thing, because I've never found the Qing male hairtyle odd.

Yay for Kevin!

I think Qing period dramas are the in thing right now. They are everywhere!

[dangermousie]

I can get that, because the more I watch Qing-era stuff, the more I get used to it. It doesn't bug me at all now.

This is me right now so we're totally on the same wavelength. I can't even look at a Kdrama at the moment. I'm all about j/tw/cdramas this month.

[dangermousie]

Yeah, I am trying to watch kdramas because my backlog is going to get insane otherwise but I just can't do it much at all...

Btw, are you interested in Bu Bu Jing Xin? because daaaaamn - it is so good.

I have been watching through you, lol. I'm reading your posts and it does sound good but JPLH is still pretty fresh in my mind and I don't think I can do the melancholic version of that drama right now.

[dangermousie]

JPLH is a lot cheerier, true.

This is not my thing but those a prettyy pretty caps and clothes! I'll see how i fare after my BBJX addiction, I'm not looking forward to falling deeper for KC coz it's already ridiculous and I hate most of his past dramas except GJ (and yayyy on GJ2 confirmed to have cameras rolling v soon!!)

On the queue braid-look: since Qing was a ~300 yr rule, closest to our times there's just much more material historical documentations and fictions to spin with, photos of late Qing to base the looks precisely (if the production cares about it, that is) So there's always been no lacking of dramas hammering in the queue.

I've never had a prob with it, but my v first drama is Adam Cheng's Book and Sword, I'm in diapers. One thing for sure, if hottie looks decent even in this do, he is 120% guaranteed t more GORGEOUS in RL.

[dangermousie]

True. For some reason that is even a more unflattering look than just being 100% bald.

Oh my gosh!

I never heard of this one!! *adds it to the list of pending dramas to watch*

It's so pretty!!

[dangermousie]

I know! So excited!
