I'm addicted to placebos. I'd give them up, but it wouldn't make any difference.

If you have dangermousie friended I'm sure you've seen her posts on The Myth, and now I have to add my voice because it's GREAT.

It's about a modern guy who falls flat on his face into the Qin dynasty (2000 years ago), and even though I'm sure there will be horrible angst later, right now it's just funny and goofy and perfect. The hero isn't what I'd call

IT SOUNDS AMAZING, I'll check it out! It's sad that my kneejerk reaction for this was like, Fushigi Yuugi? My teenie bad taste will haunt me forever.

[darkeyedwolf]

You know I've never seen that? I really should, because I love the whole "trapped in history/another world/alternate universe" thing.

[ficcentricity]

Oh my god, I don't want to be the person who accidentally recced you Fushigi Yuugi. XDDDD It's fun in the beginning but gets incredibly D: D: DDDD: later on, and while I enjoyed it when I was around 14 or so I don't think it will hold up now.

THE MYTH IS PROBABLY INFINITELY BETTER, SO DON'T BOTHER. ;A;)d

[darkeyedwolf]

LMAO. IS IT AWFUL? BUT I THOUGHT IT WAS A CLASSIC.

This looks rather hilarious.
Are there any downloadable subs for this or can it only be watched on streaming?

[darkeyedwolf]

Only streaming as far as I know!

[shenai]

Ah, pity then.

Oh my god, this looks AMAZING.

[darkeyedwolf]

THERE IS NO REASON NOT TO WATCH.

"Are they real arrows?" :D

And I just started downloading Dare Mama, too. w.w There is no way I can watch that and fifty forty-minute episodes, even for time travel! I don't even finish eleven-episode dramas!

. . . Yeah, I'm totally going to try anyway. ^ ^;;

[darkeyedwolf]

"What acting group are you guys from? :D"
"(SOBS)"

\o/!!! I get the feeling you'll like Dare Mama. Tough chicks, pretty gay guys and an adorable family dynamic.

Normally I LOVE time travel and fish out of water stories (bonus points if a story manages to be both!) but because I know fuck all about the Qin Dynasty and not much more about modern day chinese life, I feel like I wont be able to appreciate this all that much ie lots of humor and references will be wasted on me. It sounds fascinating though so who knows maybe I'll check it out lol. Not any time soon however since I recently got a new game *___* in fact, funny coincidence it's called Jade Empire and borrows alot from Wuxia films and the like. Thank you bioware, I always WANTED to be a wuxia/kung fu heroine!

[darkeyedwolf]

Oh, don't let that stop you! I don't know anything about Chinese history either, but the hero explains all. And most of the humor comes from his modern slang and observations while everyone around him is like "???" XD I mean, he watches kung-fu warriors and compares them to Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon. He's great.

[sisterjune]

Awww that does make it tempting. and I clicked the link you had embedded, I was giggling the whole time XD Well guess I will watch it anyway, at least until it gets boring. Say, how long is it anyway? (if it's over 25 eps...)

[darkeyedwolf]

>____>

50.

But they're only forty minutes each! That works out to only a slightly-longer-than-average-kdrama!

[bluntedge]

LOL THIS CHINESE TIME-TRAVELLING PLOT IDEA NEVER GETS OLD EVER.

[darkeyedwolf]

LOLOLOL I SENSE I'LL BE WATCHING A LOT OF CHINESE DRAMAS FROM NOW ON.
