The Sword and the Chess of Death
Has anyone seen this wuxia from 2007? It's only just now getting English subs, and there are only a few episodes out. I just watched the first episode and all I have to say is that the heroine has kung fu cooking skills and there's at least one case of secret parentage.
And also apparently heroine/angsty-semi villain (which, despite having little patience for in Western media, I am typically all over in wuxia and sageuks, requited or otherwise):
(All but the last bit is from the first episode.)
Did I mention kung fu cooking skills? This looks to be one of those wuxia series where friends are supposed to eventually be enemies because of the previous generation, but I'm not sure as I can't find much info about the series.
I hope for crossdressers and cross country trips and weird family units.
