사극 Paradise

First of all, I know I'm running way behind schedule! I haven't written any entries on here in awhile. I've been really busy with making products for my store, and I got accepted as a permanent vendor in a retail outlet, so I've been preparing for that. Most people did not seem to have a positive response to "Ever Night 2" due to the extensive recasting. Especially witht the recasting of Ning Qu..

I hate the phrase "Work smart, not hard." Every time I hear it, I want to barf. I could never really articulate why, something about it just never felt right. And then, I watched "Ever Night," and was introduced to Long Qing. A-ha! Long Qing is the personification of "work smart, not hard." He gets by on privilege, hacks, and cutting corners. Of course, it catches up to him, as stuff like that a..

In Episode 52, some people from Xiling come to Tang with the intent to bring Sang Sang back to Xiling to fulfill her duties as the Grand Priest of Light. She doesn't want to go. She wants to stay by Ning Que and marry him. They inform the couple that a marriage will not conflict with her duties. She is still feeling extremely reluctant. What I like is that Ning Que lets her know that he wants he..

He really did. He was totally taking Sang Sang for granted. Sang Sang has been there to support him since literally Day 1, and all it took to screw up the bond they had going was for him to be distracted by the sparkly little trinket, Mo Shan Shan. Because he spoke to Mo Shan Shan at length about Sang Sang, and her being his life, Mo Shan Shan should have really taken the hint. Taken the hint th..

As Ning Que is battling Xia Hou's right hand man (I can never remember his name, but I do love his hairstyle), we make some new discoveries. Xia Hou's right hand man is not only a Talisman Master, but is also part of Xiling. So, he has been after Ning Que with an obsessive intent to kill in order to preserve the light. The irony is that he has been all about preserving the light by killing count..

Everybody, including the people watching this show, thinks Prince Long Qing has major advantages over Ning Que. He's a prince. He's the darling of Xiling. He's practically a cultivation prodigy. Actually, I'm reminded of those child prodigies everybody dotes on when they're still young and cute, but when adulthood hits, it becomes an entirely different ball game, which isn't much different from ..

I have grown rather fond of Yan Se, the Talisman Expert. There's a lot about him that I find very likeable. I like that he is older, yet still able to do some really awesome martial arts; instead of being cranky, incoherent, and feeble. Or evil. Yikes! Because I am a 41 year old American woman, there's a huge stigma around being older, and the belief that you're disposable and weak around the ag..

Long Qing is a bit of an egoist, but I don't think it becomes apparent until episodes 18 or 19 when he leaves the Xiling Empire for the Tang Empire with the intention of becoming Fu Zi's student. The arrogant attitude he has toward the Tang Academy students and the Tang People is very pronounced. Granted, he did experience childhood trauma at the hands of the Tang...however, his sense of entitle..
