after bout a month i've finally finished war and beauty! (^_^) quite a show and what an ending! why this show won the hearts of soooo many hongkongers really wonders me. first, the story happening is slow thru-out (almost like those korean dramas...zzz) and it was so bloody when the concubines (even the empress) fought to win the heart of the emperor. no one was spared, that included servants and even unborn babies. and the emperor really disguested me! (>.<) so old and yet wanted gals as young as eighteen to be his wife. yuck! mind you, this things really did happened in the past! it was quite sad that just being the ruler of china and wanting to look grand, the emperor caused the unhappiness of so many gals. of coz, there are some parts of the show worth watching. like that most of the setting was actually done in the forbidden city! so grand to see the snow! the costumes are also worth mentioning. they changed according to season and also status. thumbs up to sheren tang (ru fei)! her character was so special! hard to say if she's good or bad. but i really admired her craftiness and also her courage to sacrifice herself for hong mo and on xi's freedom. the love story protrayed in this drama was weird too. or shld i say its all bout forbidden love. those men daring to fall in love with the emperor's women. sadest couple would probably be hong wu and on xi! finally escaped from the forbidden city and on xi met with an mishap! and ru fei may as well die. in all its quite a sombre story. only the ending is nail biting enough...but the ending did really leave me sad... p.s. the comments are just part of my thoughts and meant no harm to any others what so ever...
