I know Ubisoft put zero research into this and has no idea what they've done, but Shao Jun having short hair is kind of a Big Deal, actually.

During Ye Olde China times, cutting your hair was often seen as a sign of disrespect or disgrace, because you were expected to keep it long and maintain it, as every part of your body was a gift from your parents.

This would have been an especially big deal during the Ming Dynasty, as the dynasty preceding it was ruled by Mongols, who braided their hair. Their customs were long viewed by Han Chinese as "barbaric," and so keeping their hair long and in Han styles would have been an act of cultural pride.

Ubisoft probably just felt like making a short-haired character! They couldn't even bother to give her a Chinese voice actress, so zero thought was put into her! But now I have all these in-universe headcanons about why she has short hair!!!!!!

Maybe she cut her hair when she joined the Brotherhood to signify that she didn't belong to anyone anymore, and besides, people couldn't see it from under the hood anyway.

My biggest headcanon is that she cut it when she went into exile, to signify that she had been severed from the motherland, and refused to let it grow back until she had come back and killed Zhang Yong!

I like to think that after she had come back and restored the Brotherhood, she grew her hair back out again, and that she grew into a wise old Mentor with hair longer and more well-kept than anyone's.

I'm finally (slowly) reading through the first Shao Jun novel.

It opens on Zhang Yong musing that she's the last of the Brotherhood, and he has eyes at every harbor in China looking for her return.

And when we first get Shao Jun's perspective, she's reminiscing on her only friend growing up at the palace and how lonely it was.

This girl has had to lone-wolf it her whole life, she's so precious.

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble

TV Shows/Dramas watched in 2024

Oh No! Here Comes Trouble (2023, Taiwan)

Director, Writer & Creator: Lin Kuan Hui

Mini-review:

I don't know why I put off watching this for so long, cause it's really good. It includes so much stuff that I love: laugh-out-loud comedy, heartbreaking stories, supernatural elements and, most of all, a bunch of characters that burrow their way into your heart. The dynamic they share, specially between Yiyong and Guangyan, is incredibly fun. I feel like I could spend hours and hours watching them doing whatever together. And that's exactly what puts this drama miles ahead of other similarly supernatural-themed stories: the character writing is so damn good that you don't even care about the show's flaws, like the weak CGI. It certainly helps that the entire cast does a fantastic job, with Tseng Jing Hua giving a particularly unforgettable perfomance as the main character. Oh No! Here Comes Trouble is exactly what I needed right now, and I hope we get to see these characters again in the future.
