LOL! I'd just stare at the pictures online.
I adored HG and Ady too! I swap often between a XiaoLing (not GeFei-just the characters LXY and Ling'er) shipper and XiaoRu/XuanGe shipper. I'm currently in XiaoRu phase.
I ship him with most of his co-stars, including YM, Ariel, Ady and LSS. Although GeShi is definitely my favourite ship. That hasn't changed for 3 yrs, and won't change in the future either.
Although on another note, just by going through the list of MVs I uploaded on Youtube, quite a lot have GeFei as leads. Hmm...maybe it's the MVs' plots or professionalism of these clips that attract me? Or maybe it's just because Hu Ge's the male lead in the MVs I upload.
Ooh, yes, Young Yang Warriors! The male cast there was...hot!
HG wasn't that outstanding in Young Warriors, but as a whole, Young Warriors is definitely in my top 3 fav. dramas. The classic CP1 is also one of my favs, along with TR's idol version of LOCH (It isn't really loyal to the original, but you can enjoy it if you don't compare it with JY's novel, which really is quite hard to manage).
Yes, I am Shanghainese, as are a few other members in this forum. I am a definite GeShi shipper, and I am also one of the "super duper excited people who are hoping that Hu Ge is Hu Qu Bing". Fingers crossed for that!
