사극 Paradise

If Blanche Deveraux from "The Golden Girls" and Malificent from the Disney Classic version of "Sleeping Beauty" had a baby, it would most certainly be 미실. And I say that with a lot of love and appreciation as she is one of my all time favorite 사극 characters. She is unapologetically bitchy, and I love it. It is unfortunate that the Great Queen 선덕 is no longer on Viki, and the video quality on dra..

I made a bunch of rag dolls in a variety of skin tones over the past few weeks. Last week, I was working on hair (and that can sometimes get really tedious). This week, I'm finally working on their clothes. For these dolls, I prefer Three Kingdoms and 고려 inspired 한복 because they are pretty, and so much fun to make. Though they do take a little longer than the 조선 한복 as they have more visible oute..

Episode 3 was interesting as we begin to find out a little bit more about where everyone is going. Ning Que is a very likeable character. He's not too concerned about the Princess not liking him, and he isn't a jerk about it. Mainly because he has other concerns, such as taking care of Sang Sang, cultivating, and passing the admission exam into Tang Academy. Besides, he isn't a fan of her either..

"Our Blooming Youth" is beginning to get funny, which I appreciate. I really don't like a 사극 that's intended to be serious, but it's only 1/2 way developed. Compared to the older, pre-2015 사극 (which I prefer, in spite of my criticisms of 주몽, 광개토, 대조영), the current fusion 사극 lean toward the fluffy and superficial side. Because of that, humor always works in favor of the fusion 사극. I prefer the ol..

I got started on this at the same time as "Our Blooming Youth," because I feel it's good keeping my mind sharp to watch two very different dramas. From the get-go, I'm amazed by the stunning visuals that "Ever Night" has to offer. I started watching because of 王鶴棣/Dylan Wang, who will be in Season 2. Because I like to go from the very beginning so everything makes sense, I went ahead and started..

I had a rough start with Episode 1 of "Our Blooming Youth" because I felt like I was getting pummelled with the same overused tropes: male lead who is a total jerk(which can work if well written), wrongfully accused female lead (which can also work if well written), minister set on undermining the royal family, usually the 2nd State Councilor; etc. Needless to say, I wasn't in the mood for a slo..

I just began "Our Blooming Youth." I watched all of Episode 1, and about 1/4 (25 minutes of Episode 2), which I hope to finish this evening. It's ok so far, but I'm not feeling too excited about it. Like I'm not enthusiastically anticipating the next episode, mainly because I'm a 사극 fanatic, many of the same themes are being repeated, and nothing has been presented to me to show that it will hav..

I'm going to stop watching this show. I don't think I can take 31 more episodes of this, and I really, really tried. I gave the benefit of the doubt, I figured it was like Breaking Bad with a slowly developing plot, as "Princess Agents" is 58 episodes long. The wrong stuff is dragged out (such as Yan Xun's fight scene, and then his mother's play by play re-capping monologue over every dead famil..
