omg, me too.. I liked all the chars you liked! Hao qi was irritating but he's ok as a bad guy cuz you understood him.. I also loved hg's parents.. they were such great parents, no wonder they had sucha good son! Xiao 7 is super awesome.. lao fu zi was ok, sometimes he bugged me.. his whole giving up on the Er gong zhu, giving his heart to the cat and all that. But he was wise so I liked him. OK, tu di gong gong was super cute! I loved his character.. and he was so funny as a woman.. hahahahahaha.. I really liked him, super cute old folk. haha..
Dong yong had crazy committed love for Xiao 7 but at least he also had reason and wasn't completely out of his mind. His committed love was admirable, not crazy. (I'm remembering hte scene when he was upset that he got his memory back because it was so painful). As for Sai Jin, she was too crazy. Like, I understand there's committed love, but her is like, over the top and makes love look like it's on crack or something!
You don't have to tell me the ending to xian jian.. I do know that it's a sad one and everyone dies, right?
I'll be finishing TWFX soon! love HU GE! and I like how he has the "Shanghainese boy" look to him.. like, completely.. you know, the tall, slim, fair skinned with cheekbones look.. it's very typical shanghai from what I hear and have observed. haha, yay Hu Ge!
