That part was incredible! I loved it as well. :)

The drama works with a great story and great acting of a superb cast. I want to read more but I don't want to spoil it. I want to see Lu Bu with the antennae-like headdress though. That would be a sight! I saw a historical drawing of him earlier and he had one on just like those RPG renditions. :)

I've only watched one episode so far today. Though I started reading some on the Three Kingdoms, Cao Cao and Liu Bei, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei. Cao Cao is way too diabolical for me. He's a great strategist because he's a cavalry commander but he's also an opportunist like Dong Zhou.

Oh Sun Jiang's youngest son was indeed adorable! Haha! I only know Sun Ce will establish one of three.

I'm curious as to what will happen to Lu Bu. My gawd, Peter Ho in action is just asdfghjk! He plays his role so good!

Finally YEH has a stalker's guide. :) This makes me realize I haven't seen her in anything after Lie To Me and Little Black Dress, which are both...:\ But I appreciated her role as Shin Chae Kyung in Goong/Princess Hours; she was more memorable to me in that drama than anywhere else.

I don't see any tactics in the battles just constant slashing lol but before that battle in the 4th episode, Yuan Gu slicing off that general's head didn't seem gory to me. On the contrary, it felt so satisfying to see that arrogant general finally got cleaved AND those warlords got served.

I haven't read anything, just the RPG profiles of the characters. :D I'm curious who Zhu Ge Liang is because his name kept popping up when I did LLW searches.

Just finished Ep 2 and OMG, what did they just do! They're already paranoid! O____O Huwaaaa~! Never a dull moment! Off to Ep 3!

woah those are veteran actors! Sohn Hyun Joo from The Chaser, Jang Hyun Sung from Salaryman and Yoon Je Moon also has a lot in his arsenal...this has got to be interesting.

San, thank you! My family and loved ones are doing fine; we live far away from the areas most hit by the storm. Indeed, there are no right words for this horrible tragedy. Thank you for your prayers! The international community has been helping so much it is touching! TT____TT

thank *you* for reminding me to put Hear Me on my Faves List. While it's so funny, it surely had its teary moments.

I need to stalk you before your role as Guo Jing brainwashes me to avoid all of your dramas--and movies!

Hmmm...he did spend time growing up in the US but I don't think that's the reason why. All able-bodied and mentally stable men born in SK receive notice for their mandatory military service.

I remember he received his last year while RP was airing however he postponed it. Yoochun has asthma and was graded 7 (re-check up after two years) before finally making it to Grade 4 (reservist/civil service). Last year he said he'd concentrate on acting, so I guess he's still doing that until now while Junsu and JJ have publicly announced their plan to enlist end 2013/early 2014.

I like this idea! I can imagine each character profile now! :D I have a pm for you for our piratepad link. :)

I don't think the song-and dance made it back to China. But they say the Japanese noh drama of LLW is very popular.

I'd love the idea of adding personality traits and star ratings! It would make the article a fun read. Tell me more about it and how it would look like!

My time zone is 12 hours earlier than yours; 13 hours if you're on DST. I can work from 4pm until 10pm (GMT+8)but I'm usually free nowadays.

Wooh. Okay, so I guess Yoochun is not up for army duty yet...

Two Weeks, Three Days, what is Park Ha Sun going to star in next, One Month? LOL jk! :D :D

Hmmm...I dunno yet...I'll need to see the trailer when it comes out.

Laughing like crazy at that commercial clip! XD

I heart you for making this Stalker's Guide. Like you I think PKW can take on any role!

I first saw him in the movie My Tutor Friend 2 but his portrayal of Kimura Shunji is his best ever yet. I didn't know he sang and released a mini-album! His singing voice is surprisingly good! Q__Q

this is part 2 again because the text was too long! XD

Written history about Gao Changgong is very limited though his fame is carried through the song and dance Prince of Lan Ling in Battle which became popular even through the Sui dynasty and even in Japan today. I haven't read how the song & dance came to Japan but it is the topic of a noh drama that were passed on through generations. Ironically. China lost this song and dance I think in the Tang dynasty (after Sui).

There was no mention of the name of Changgong's concubine. I wish I could understand Chinese so I can read from baidu! I even tried searching for his supposed grandson but nothing came up. :P

All right! Let's do it! :D
I did a collab with fuyushita_risou on Bridal Mask before and we used piratepad to chat and work on our article. we could use that if you like and I can pm you the link. Is it okay for us to use the format the Guide to BBJX?

I know, right! I was thinking about Lu Zhen when I read that part. :P But I have this feeling they won't touch on it.

No, I didn't. One person posted that Gao Changgong was born into the wrong family and that the Gaos were one of, if not THE, worst royal clans in Chinese history. LLW accepted bribes just so the emperor wouldn't be suspicious of him and he often stayed at home pretending to be sick so he can stay out of royal court and out of His Majesty's sight.

Well the Fourth Lord did have a bit of a bromance with YWY in the earlier episodes. LOL XD

Though honestly the idea may not be as far-fetched. From the posts that I've read so far, the Gaos were notoriously good-looking (with Gao Changgong as the fairest of them all! XD) but they also had loose morals. I remember reading on wiki how Gao Wei's dad valued He Shikai (an important Qi official) and played 'immoral games' with him that he gained so much power from being close to the emperor. Later this person even had an affair with Empress Hu, Gao Wei's mom! O___O The minute I read that I immediately thought 'A Frozen Flower'! :P

Writing the article is very tempting! I think we can base it on the Guide to BBJX article and make it more like a character intro with a little teaser on their historical background.

Aiya, so that's why! They should have made the extension with the Zhou invasion onward. Gao Wei was supposed to be caught fleeing south to Chen dynasty and Xiaolian was given as a concubine to YWY's younger brother and then later she became a housemaid before finally committing suicide. I would have loved watching how she met her end instead of Xue Wu meeting hers!

This is part 2 lol

I feel disappointed that YWY died so unceremoniously. :( I mean the emperor united North China for crying out loud! And he even paved the way for the Sui dynasty which was said to be a prosperous era.

Did you remember Yang Jian, the man who came to White Mountain Village in the first ep? He was in-laws with YWY and when his son-in-law inherited the throne, he planned to seize it--which he successfully did and established the Sui.

I read more about Gao Changgong and found out the emperor gave him 50 concubines, of which he only accepted one not because he wanted to keep one, but because he didn't want to insult the emperor. :P Methinks he's gay! LOL
