i agree that mi xue has fantastic onscreen chemistry with both alex man and david chiang, she would look good with either of them as onscreen lovers.
i find it impossible to answer the question who loved her best. I've been thinking about it, and they all love her a great deal. Let's first dismiss Bak Takgun (poor man), who is less interesting because well, you know. He loves her so much he first wanted to withdraw from the triangle and let her marry Tsang Jing, and later went mad when he believed she was unfaithful, through the work of the monk. However his sufferings are generally uninteresting and the product of the Emperor's cunning, so let's leave it.
The Emperor demonstrates his obsessive, possessive love by wanting to meet with her all the time, at the risk to his life and her reputation; Tsang Jing demonstrates his noble, sacrificial love by protecting her and striving to make her happy, as well as being extremely <em>un</em>happy himself when she has that misundersanding about him. I don't know how to say one or the other loved her the more.
Remember when Tsang Jing held the Emperor hostage? And Sei Leung was so worked up she fainted, and in an instant both men flashed towards her, upset and concerned? I think, that's it, in that instant they were drawn together in their common love of her, despite all their existing quarrels. It could be argued that the Emperor <em>doesn't</em> love her as much as he claims to, since he did threaten to kill her in order to escape, but at the same time Tsang Jing wasn't threatened by the fact, he didn't release the Emperor when he saw Sei Leung in his hands? And so forth. So er, I don't know ...
But to return to your prevalent and often expressed wish to have had these two men act with mi xue more often as her onscreen lovers, in their youth -- <em>yes</em>. I wish that too, not least because that would mean more mi xue serials available for me to watch ... |
