Break Announcement, Q&A Style
Posted by: irugnotmis on: December 6, 2009
Q: I see a bout of sluggish activity on the site… So, what’s the deal with recaps?
A: You know, I’m swamped by exams this term and I really, really need the time to study. *puppy eyes* I’m going to take a two week break during which I will be busy earning good grades (hopefully) and taking care of things that’s been put off. Meanwhile, no new recap will be posted. (But IF I miraculously find time to finish the 4th episode of Liar Game 2, then yeah, I won’t hold off on that.)
Q: What will happen after you come back in two weeks? You will come back riiiight? *eyes suspiciously*
A: There is a tentative plan. I will:
- finish Chinese Paladin 3
- catch up on Liar Game 2
- wrap up Next Stop, Happiness (AKA: Autumn’s Concerto) with episode 7 & 8 recap. (Maybe 9 too. But then, maybe not.) 11 recap.
- start on JIN (Yes, that’s the plan. I’ll see about readership though.)
- contemplate on recapping The Happy Times of that Year (Key word: contemplate)

Posted by: irugnotmis on: December 17, 2009
During a promotional event for the recent Jay Chou-Lin Chi Ling collaboration, Treasure Hunter (trailer here), Jay Chou mentioned having free time while filming The Green Hornet in Hollywood. Free time means only one thing: New compositions (15 of them!). Jay Chou will choose 10 from the 15 for his annual album, due to be released in late January, early February of next year.

Produced by Jackie Chan, The Myth is a big budget drama remake of the 2005 film under the same name. It tells the story of a young man’s extraordinary adventure wherein the hero (played by Hu Ge) walked into the epicenter of a well-coordinated artifact plundering during a visit to his father’s archaeological excavation. Being in the wrong place at the right time, he opened a mystery box and got himself and the archaeologists’ cook (played by Zhang Shi) transported to the Qin Dynasty (221 BC–206 BC).
During the hero and the cook’s stay, a series of political rivalry and love affair took place, effectively turning them into startlingly different people — a loved hero and a hated villain. In the meantime, the hero’s family actively searched for the lost son while battling a dark organization’s repeated interference as well as their own rifting family relation…

Liar Game so far:
In the first round of the Liar Game, Kingdom of Sun tied with Kingdom of Moon – after Nao schmoozed Fukunaga into giving up the lead – resulting in a slight marginal gain. The second round, 17 poker, kicked off soon after. Akiyama Shinichi won the first two hands, but his opponent dominated the game hereafter.

Now that the first round is fired, the location of the subsequent bullets can be approximated to a high degree of accuracy. With prudent choices and appropriate bluffing, success is Fukunaga’s. Except, there is a fundamental flaw with the game.

With more and more new songs featured in the recent episodes (think it was 12 and 14), I knew there would have to be a second OST. And here it is (revised and re-uploaded)!
Chinese Paladin 3: Episodes 30-32

Episode 30
Off they go to see the baby.
And the story went something like this:
100 years ago when ChangQing was still Lin YePing, jealousy destroyed his marriage with ZiXuan. Days after she left him, she found out she was pregnant. But civil unrest got in the way and she was never given a chance to divulge the good news (even if she did, he might’ve thought the child was conceived with another man — in the heat of the moment). Then he came charging to her part of town in search for answers. Alas, he died and never learned about the baby.

Two years of blissful normalcy, and then the familiar but much dreaded black envelop reappears.
She enters reluctantly — scanning the premise all the while — half expecting a box full of cash, half hoping it won’t be there.
Then light flickers on and party poppers shower down on her.

Fantasy Zhu Xian to follow Chinese Paladin 3
Posted by: irugnotmis on: November 7, 2009
Fantasy Zhu Xian
I noticed I still have eight episodes of Chinese Paladin 3 left to finish and… they are kind of still in the oven…
This is why I’m posting about Fantasy Zhu Xian — as a teaser — since it consists of the Chinese Paladin 3 cast. Or most of them anyway.
