she's properly become the female official in the palace like embroidering etc.
If I'm not mistaken, court ladies are consider as king/emperor's women. unless the king took fancy with her (any) court lady, she can fight off to climb the ladder to the higher status as concubine or even empress if that what she want.... all women in palace are court lady actually, but the drama title here is actually depict the life of Tang's women in that era, hence the title is Court Lady.
no he is not. Maybe incarnation of her lover. only his sword has powers.
That sword is either Jiang Yi's (Duanmu's godfather, Jiang Ziya) or Duanmu's past lover General Gu Chang. Thousand years ago they are a human who are cultivated for immortality so they know how to use magic. When they saw the sword and Marquis Jiang, they felt familiarity due to what Wengu said before, 'what happened in the past like thousand years ago is just like an illusion to them (the God/High Immortal).'
The cringe-ness of this drama looks like in Douyin. So tried to check YT channel, they have several dramas with Douyin format (vertical) and normal format with novel/manhua storyline. They have period dramas too. Some of them have English subbed. You guys if interested to watch, this is their YT channel https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_MkssviRtKtkZWJFvzyOtg
I think they mentioned that her grandfather gave his immortality to her and he died.
Yeah. It's Marquis Jiang, Zhan Yan's godfather now. This is what I assume, I think the Goddess (might be Nuwa) sealed her painful memories of the battle. Yang Jian sealed her lover to prevent Duanmu from death even with immortality as she might be tried to gave her heart or soul to her lover to resurrect him and the plan backfire her. The immortality is the thing keep her alive. This Gu Chang guy, why did he use an entire city as a dowry, no wonder Duanmu had to bear an emotional debts of thousand peoples as he promised her to govern the city together. Goodness. The debt is too heavy as she lead a thousand peoples in battle.
I think they mentioned that her grandfather gave his immortality to her and he died.
Yang Jian said that his father got help from Heavenly Maiden, but wonder who the maiden is. Wengu is a half demon has been in love with Duanmu since thousand years ago also got a divine status as High Immortal because of his sided with human in battle with the demon clan. Duanmu said she didn't remember her past. The only thing she know is she is female general of Xiqi. Many secrets in her past that Yang Jian didn't tell her including about her family. This part, I even wonder if she was also Yang Jian's sister thousand years ago? I don't remember when they mentioned that. But according to iQiyi's summary, it's Jiang Zhiya (her godfather) who gave his immortality to her. Not not her grandfather.
Have you read the novel? That makes sense when you consider it although I would never in a million years be able…
Uh-oh, I've never read the novel or any Chinese novel even with English translated online. I tried before but end up dropped the novel (online). I'm the type of person who hold the book and read. When you watch too many Xianxia and love looking for the infos, then you'll come out with too many theories, haha. The black cat will turned into human later, (I) assume that his name is Jiang Mo. If you see the cast, there is some characters that hasn't come out yet. The title in poster also write as Season 1. I forgot that Yang Jian is Erlang Shen, and his little sidekick boy is his dog, Xiaotian.
If you compare their age with TMOPB, you'll know that Duanmu Cui is consider young for 1,000 y.o. You see A'li is a small kid like 3 to 5 years old even he's already 300 y.o. Thousand years ago, she is goddaughter of Jiang Zhiya. Jiang Zhiya doesnt want get immortallity, at this point I don't get it why Gen. Gu didn't get too. But she did along with others and somehow her heart or love sealed in the vault due to her love debt with General Gu Chang. (the vault is hella big for her heart or what ever is it, but the resemblance of the vault with coffin is pretty obvious. Might be General Gu Chang's body or idk). The black cat must be related to Jiang Zhiya . When the cat saw Marquis Jiang coughing, there is "If you are Deity, You wouldn't have to suffer so much" are being said. I'm prety sure it's the cat's.
ahhh are they already together and dating in the first few episodes? I also like a more drawn out romance :(
They're flirting each other since 1st episode and get together by ep 13, they're so sweet and romantic. And then their relationship starting to go awry due her love tribulation of thousand years ago. Since the problem still at earlier stage of the plot, they might be reconcile and we get to see the sweetness between them. Hope that.
The latest 2 episode was very lovely and romantic, then BAAMM!!! It's turn into Love & Redemption with that General Gu Chang who might be incarnated into Zhan Yan.
I don't think they have. but her bother is second lead. there is an annoying second female lead tho. It's Jiang Jing Xuan, male lead's colleague in works.
Another torture from Taiwanese drama. 1 episode per week. 20 episodes for 5 months. Based on ending credit there will be gay characters... It's Yan Fei's assistant (he's not in cast list) and Hin Yu's close friend Mark.
this is far from You're Beautiful. I watched 2 episode with no sub while trying to grab the situation. they should put fantasy tag in this drama too. the siblings are exchange soul. In this drama they are not an idols, but actors. based on the opening credit with a bunch of mathematical formulas , there will be mysteries behind this supernatural exchange thing.
I think they dubbed only when the voice can't be heard or far from camera. the girl Xia using her own voice too since I watched her in Go Go Squid. It's same voice. Lately most drama are dubbed by their own voice. I just done watched You Make My Heart Smile, mostly the voice dubbed are sounds natural or maybe by their own voice except the ML Lou Zheng. His voice sounds good since he is singer. But he's dubbed. Might be due to his accent. He's Miao.
