i mamaged to catch "raise the red lantern" and i found striking similarities between War and beauty. like duhz... there were great differences in both shows. But its all about surviving the harsh and cruelities of being a concubine.. to win the affection of the man of the house, and as usual,. it all ends up with either tradegy or tragedies, there will be scandalous affairs, such as one of the concubine will end up with another man but the master. well for Raise the red lantern, Gong Li went beautifully siao and the third mistress was hang for incest with the doctor. you see these concubine has to find muse for themselves when the master is sick of them and have to find ways to survive in the family household and have to fight for affection for the master.

yeah... my shoe broke. My last balinese shoe broke. trying my very best hopping that it will be fixed... cross thy fingers..
