My Prince, EPs 11-12

My Prince is a Chinese drama set around a family of five - a mother and her four sons (presumably in their twenties). Their mother has brought them up alone, but she's a bit of a screw-up, though she loves them a lot. All she wants for her sons is for them to marry rich girls and supposedly then they will have good lives and no worries.

A drama set around romance and relationships isn't my usual choice, but it stars a lot of the actors who were in Wang Qiu Wang Zi (all minor part characters, none of them part of the main team, Seigaku - Qing Xue as they were named in the CDrama), so I persuaded myself to give it a go. So far I'm ten episodes in, and I've discovered a drama that doesn't take itself too seriously and yet amidst all the silliness there's real heart. The family dynamic between all of them is adorable, and you can see the difference between any two of them in the way they are towards one another. And though some of the romance feels rushed in this short series, there are moments that have really pulled the heart strings for me, and female characters that manage to be awesome even when they're doing things that would normally annoy - being upset and confused and unable to choose between two guys, or trying to learn how to be less clumsy and more 'feminine' to catch a guy's attention (hahaha).

I watched the episodes while away visiting family, and had nowhere to sit and put my initial response to each episode, so I'm only going to liveblog as I finish the series up to episode sixteen.

the 'if i did yuletide' meme

On a different note, let's play a meme I just made up game!

"I'm not doing Yuletide this year, but if I was I would have (nominated to ensure they were there, and then) requested these fandoms:" [include requests if you wish!]

It doesn't matter if you want to do it on your LJ or just in the comments here.


NONE OF MINE ARE ACTUALLY YULETIDE FANDOMS. THEY ARE *TOO* OBSCURE CLEARLY ;D (Although I'm thinking since POT is too large to qualify the RPF might be too? But the Myus are different, like the CDrama is :/)
