Jing Chao is one of the best Chinese actors but we rarely see his dramas these days.

The Chinese film industry is so tough. Most of the actors graduated from top drama schools in China but many of them are struggling to make a living.

That's why we are seeing great acting here.

The film industry simply has too many manpower.

Wei Shao asked his four generals to move his stuff back into his own masterbedroom. He still thinks he is in the battlefield.

The men struggled to understand why women had so many wardrobes.

Grandma had to secure the Dukedom for Wei Shao because she knew none of the Wei generals were able to defend the state except her own grandson.

Her husband's vision was better water irrigation to produce more foods for the population and military supplies. More foods means more births and more military troops.

So, the Wei State's ambition was to unite the four states. Qiao was already an ally without a military strength so it was easy for the Qiao to accept the Wei State as a ruler.

XQ is trying to save a dying Qiao State. Boya is a new state but it has no great strategist. That's why Boya will become part of the Wei State.

Goodbye, My Princess.

His mom and her maid.

That part came too early. In the novel, he grabbed her cheeks after he found out that his cousin brother, Wei Yan, fancied her. He was about to force himself on her.

The actor playing Bi Zhi was awesome in One and Only as the Second Prince of the enemy state. I love the scene where he threatened the Emperor if they were unable to collect the body of the hero.

Wei Shao had no childhood crush. Everyone thought he had but he was busy with his revenge.

Grandma only wanted to save her grandson who was the only male heir she had. Wei Shao was invading Xindu but the city is next to Panyi. If Li Su and the Qiao family formed an alliance to counter attack Wei Shao, her grandson would not be able to take the city.

The big picture was to take Xindu without problem and her grandson was safe so that the Wei family would extend to another generation.

Grandma practically killed two birds with one stone: Xindu and Yanzhou would be under the Wei State and her grandson would live another day.

Duang-ge now

A lifetime TB is a possibility.

9 from me at the moment after months of being deprived of good C-dramas.

His horrified expression when his mom declared that she had made him a pair of new shoes!

In the novel, he would just let his mom to hu now (mess around) as long as the incidents were not nasty.

The First Emperor of China. Apparently, he was rumoured to have a virgin every night.

I don't believe that, though. Humn beings have feelings. No one knows who his favourite concubine was.

Wei Liang takes up embroidery.

And, Mr. Gongsun is their Agony Aunt. He teaches the boys (including WS) about females and their feelings.

She even boasted that her eldest son would insist on wearing a new pair of shoes made by her!

Mother Wei must not be allowed to make shoes for her son, Wei Shao.
