For all you shatter is our seeming, And in breaking we are free

I just rewatched the last few episodes. I have just spent a couple of hours crying all over again as well. So. I wanted something cathartic and comforting. Might be slightly out of character, I just really wanted these four to be able to cry and hug and grieve together after that scene in the Lin ancestral shrine in Episode 54. Um. Spoilers?

I am in bits. I'm in pieces. Shit.

I saw a random fanvid during the week, and on the strength of it I decided to watch through a Chinese historical drama, set in 4th century Southern Liang, called Lang Ya Bang/Nirvana in Fire. 54 episodes, 36 hours worth of show, and I've watched it all at once over the past ... I don't know, five or six days?

I am in pieces.

I just finished the last episode a few minutes ago. This is the first C-drama I've ever really watched, and I think I must have gotten a good one. That was probably one of the most emotionally intense rides I've ever gotten out of a show. Ever. At all. Some of that is probably a result of watching it all at once, some of it is probably because I'm a little emotional at the minute now anyway, but mostly ... mostly I think it was just fucking good. This last episode, the finale, about snapped me in half. I am in bits. I just am.

I'm trying not to spoil anything here. This is not a show that should be spoiled. I'm trying to keep this vague, but a couple of details may slip in. Just ... I'm not thinking entirely sensibly at the minute.
