So today I was procrastinating with extreme success and came across this show 'Empresses in the Palace' on Netflix (Shout out to Margie for letting this penny pinching free loader (me) use her Netflix). Holy flying insults, it is amazing. Never have I seen such a crossfire of extreme hatred between women disguised with such a beautiful eloquence of flavorful compliments.
It was the disdain in their tone and their eyes that spoke their mind truly. The actresses are incredible. They have truly mastered the art of subtle facial expressions, gestures and body language that speaks so much more loudly than their words. It's like if someone said to you, "You are immeasurably beautiful beyond compare and most truly loved by all." while their eyes are saying "Everyone hates and despises you to the inner core of your soul you half witted dirty donkey's asshole." I mean, THAT is talent that I have never seen before.
As a fair warning, each episode is about an hour and a half long. So maybe make it a weekly movie night thing, or just accept that you are going to donate a small portion of your life and will in turn be repaid with the most entertaining sight of the most brilliant butterflies of bantering you have ever witnessed. You're welcome.
UPDATE: I also want to mention that the series is in Chinese therefore it includes English subtitles. Don't be lazy people, it's worth learning to read.
