lesbiassparrowThis show has one very moist heroine. She seems to spend about 70% of her time in tears, when she's not shrieking over the loss of her childhood design. (Strangely she seems more upset about this than that the evil fashion designer ran off with her mum. If I were her this would bother me more than my childish drawing being stolen, but this is because I have all my wits about me, which I suspect she does not). She is also a bit droopy in general.
ETA: She also seems to have little in the way of conversation that is not 'I will crush evil fashion designer who stole my design.' I admire her monomania in a way.
But the male hero (Liang) is still ridiculously pretty. And the interesting thing is the way they film him - it's exactly the same way they do the heroine with all of these lingering shots of his pretty, pretty angst bathed in soft light with some sad song playing in the background. I just can't imagine a Western show filming its hero that way. I am enjoying his pain very much.
