Girl Fight

Korean drama are a passe. Right now I've been pursuing this Hong Kong TVB drama, War And Beauty, that is showing on every weekdays at 10pm on Channel U. So it means that if I end my work at Robinson at 9.30pm, by all means, I'll make sure I get home just in time for it. Heh.


Anyway this show is really excellent and is a must-watch. The selling point of it is that, it incorporates modern office politics into ancient China imperial life. The fight among the various Royal concubines to obtain and secure the Emperor's favour, with lots of back-stabbing, framing, accusations and manipulation in the process of it. It's a thrill to see how they rivalled and bitched about one another.

" 六宫之中最让我讨厌的就是那些妄图跟我争夺皇上宠爱的人..."

The Moral of this Show:

• People are born good, but circumstances and situations create maliciousness
• The greatest regret comes from pondering the word "if."
• Everyone has motives and reasons behind every action.
• People are complex and have many layers to his or her personality.
• It is wrong and inaccurate to judge someone based on only one incident.
• Not everything that the eyes see is truth.
• Nothing is ever worth the sacrifice of giving yourself up.
• Friendship and even kinship is only so deep.
• People are fake and follow the wind. Whoever is in power will be favored and those who are lowly will be further belittled.
• There is no easy way to turn back once a decision or action has been made.
• True feelings don't emerge until glory and prestige are stripped away.
• Life isn't fair and love is blind.
• Wealth and power are meaningless without love.
