A video on YouTube said that this drama was suspended from release because the lead actor Chen FeiYu evaded tax and was caught. So all his dramas were suspended. Anyone has more info?
I wish the reviews are listed with the most recent first so I don't have to scroll for miles to the end. This drama is already 8 years old. It might be a block buster for its time. More of outstanding dramas are released in recent years. What do new viewers think about it after being spoiled by the competition?
If they can't release this in China, perhaps they could consider selling the rights to an overseas company or releasing it overseas. Save us overseas viewers from the wait.
The lists of the cast are quite loosely put together. Some with significant support roles are in the guest lists while some that I don't even remember or notice are listed on the support list. For example Lord Pingnan, ChenYing, Jiang BoYou, Yan Mu, Dowager Xue should not be on the guest appearances but on the support list. There always the mention of SPECIAL guest appearances in dramas - usually of FAMOUS celebrities who make one-off appearances in dramas. Do they qualify as these? But the guest list here are just for some short appearances.
Conversely the salt merchant, silk merchant, Zhang Zhe's mother and a number of others should be in the guests list. These lists are all muddled up here.
What part did Liu Ze Yu acted? Don't remember him. Why is there two Gu ChunFang - I saw Tan Jian Chang, but when did Desmond Tan appear? In parts that had been censored?
I have been trying to figure out who acted Jian Shu, Xie Wei's bodyguard. Dao Qin is listed but not Jian Shu. That's regrettable. I saw him in the League of Nobleman acting an elderly innkeeper and looked entirely in tune with a very different character. A very good second tier actor. He played quite a significant role in this drama. It's a shame to miss him out.
This list should be voted by the viewers of this website, not by one author. Same goes for other lists. Anyway, this list looks very outdated and there is no explanation on how it is derived - that's the trouble when it is constructed by one person. It stays static until they are motivated to update it.
Grammatical error: It should be A League of Noblemen. A league is a collection of people, countries, or groups. So it should be plural: Noblemen NOT Nobleman. How do you form a league with 1 person? Or more accurately, A League of Noble Men, since Zhang Ping is not a nobleman but he is noble.
Wow... amazingly good. Wish they would produce a prequel. I am really curious how XueNing became the empress when the Dowager was such a domineering person and had her niece in mind as the next empress.
This theme sounds like one of the movies under the Back to the Future banner. Anyone old enough to have watched that movie, as well as this drama, and enlighten me?
It seems this drama is released but unable to pinpoint which platform it is shown. Some online sources says Tencent; some says Prime. Let me know if you have figured out and watched it.
