Shawn Dou interviews: “[Zhao] Li Ying invited me to play Yan Xun.”

Awww. Saw this interview yesterday and I cheered so hard! Li Ying has an eye for picking actors, inviting Shawn to play Yan Xun in Princess Agents. Shawn fits the role perfectly. Just so cute how they thought of each other at the same time. Fans are still trying to figure how they know each other, might be through mutual friend, Zhou Dong Yu, they guess. *eyes in heart* This must be before he shot Tribes and Empire since he said he never filmed a period drama before. Please reunite you two, to cure my broken heart. Drama gods!

Princess Agents: Episodes 17 – 20 Recap “Misunderstandings.”

Oh Mr. Sunshine. Just because you show that bright, blinding smile, people think you’re truly happy. It’s his defense mechanism, the can’t-change-situation-then-change-attitude type of approach. Many ask why he’s so insistent on bringing Chu Qiao to Yan Bei and I would like to add that it’s the same reason why he and Yuwen Yue are the only “friends” in the rich group of boys (at least in the drama version). Yue could care less about the other guys, but he does little things to defend Yan Xun and his family. Why? They come from the same place and gravitate towards each other with the understanding that they’re trapped by their duty to family (Yue) and duty to cpuntry (Yan Xun). Both boys saw at the hunting ground the same will to rise despite the comprosmised condition in Chu Qiao. Yan Xun even said Chu Qiao is like himself, unwilling to resign herself, and that spark of burning passion attracts him to her, prompting him into the mission of freeing her so that she doesn’t end up like him.

It’s a beautiful notion, if only the road to Yan Bei isn’t filled with corpses and heartaches….

Princess Agents: Episodes 9 – 12 Recap “Xing Er’s Pursuers.”

With this production hell bent on not loving Yan Xun, I just have to shoulder that responsibility and love him more. To that end, I’m really confused why some fans are confused about the ultimate ship. I think my synopsis is really clear with Yue-Qiao as the ending game. But knowing that doesn’t mean that our heroine can’t love more than one man! She should! Can’t she experience love with different people and finally settle down with the ONE? Spoilers at this point won’t even help much because with all the changes made to Yue’s character, intentions have been altered and we just have to follow the drama as it presents the story to us. Enjoy the ride, enjoy not knowing what’s gonna happen. What’s fun when you know everything beforehand? (Trust me, it’s not fun… )

Thanks Candora for helping me with episode 12 recap. I’m so drained.
