December; Untamed aka Chenqing Ling aka MDZS

1) Re-watching The Untamed again: I'm not the only one who notices that EVERYONE wears the same make of shoes, am I? I mean, this has to do with how the production team does their work, of course, but it's very obvious when you film characters slo-mo-ing into the scene and rich or poor, from Gusu or Qinghe, they all wear the same shoes. Somewhere out in CQL-verse, there is a shoe manufacturer which has a monopoly; and it is probably from the Lanling clan, which explains why they're so wealthy. :p

I'll not ask who makes all those little tassels.

2) Following HIStory3: Make our days count
And it is adorable. And daring, for what it's worth?, in terms of the sexy scenes? I must try a crossover with Trapped soon.

3) Re-watching Story of Yanxi Palace vs watching for the first time, Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace
I do like Zhou Xun lots, but Yanxi Palace wins it for me, being a better story* and a little bit more naturalistic in terms of the relationships between the characters. It has serious moments but knows not to take itself super-seriously. And the costumes and hairpieces are excellent. I watch just to admire the pretty.

*I mean, at its core it's a story of Wei Yingluo getting revenge even if it takes her 20 years. And she still ends up winning the harem stakes. Who doesn't like that?

Also, both my favourite characters at present have the surname Wei (it's even the same Chinese character). Hm...
