My goodness Can i talk about how terribly cheng lei has done the Grief scene for Bei zhou?!!! in shock,denial,utter devastation with the poisonal headache flaring up! He just ate up the whole scene!! Honestly, the layers of emotions he had to show with this character and the range of Acting he delivered in his portrayal is Amazing!! Although I've watched more than 2/3 dramas of him before, i never considered him as anyone perfect as an actor as i noticed the patterns of his style in acting. In this drama, to my surprise, he broke the pattern many times. i was surprised, amazed,and stunned at some scenes throughout the airing of this drama.i don’t know if this drama will be memorable for me or not,but cheng lei as xiahou dan obviously will be a memorable character of him for me.
So it has the fake (contract) marriage that gradually turns into real love trope?
Technically yes but not exactly . They were childhood acquaintances & Junior high classmates,separated for some years but met again in 1975.They don’t get married too early, marriage is on ep 9 or 10 after they discussed it with family.
Ep 24 felt a bit bland to me,..Both the carriage conversation of yu wanyin-prince duan & aftereffect conversation of xiaohou dan-yu wanyin (before they made out) was a bit out of place. it seems like their bestie like chemistry and working together as partners feels more genuine to me now than the romantic tension. But i certainly felt the tensions in some earlier episodes, in that headache massage scene or just them spending the nights together on bed earlier....so maybe there is some execution problem in the scenes followed at ep 24, it failed to set up the mood the scene wanted to deliver.
My least fav episode after initial two
Last SCENE delivered tho..!Full tyrant mode choking the crown Prince! Insane Acting at It's best
Really love this but some detail are a bit confusing for me (or I missed them). All three are transmigrator except…
Xie yong'er is the transmigrated protagonist of the Novel FL read in ep 1, FL's company was making an adaptation of this old novel. That same old novel was read by ML Zhang san 10/12 years ago when he was in Middle School, ML got transmigrated into the novel back then & still staying in the novel story being Xiahou Dan for years.
That old novel itself is a transmigration novel where, A girl from City A of modern era read a storybook of great xia Empire containing characters prince duan,xiahou dan,wu wanyin, xie yong'er etc and then she got transmigrated into the storybook in xie Yong'er's body.prince duan is still that storybook character and not from xie yong'er's fictional modern world or FL/ML's actual real modern world
