The executives at Mango TV are not bothering to pretend, they’re truly greedy bastards. How is this good branding?…
Love & Redemption + Go Ahead. You should see how these two dramas have multiple trendings on Weibo every day (nowadays companies /channels pay Sina to promote and stay on the trending list) whereas The Sleepless Princess is like an abandoned chess piece in the beginning. TSP climbed up slowly from no. 30++ to no. 8 at the trending drama chart. Out of the top 10 trending dramas, only 3 dramas are currently airing which include these 3 (L&R, GA, TSP). Audiences were angry because MangoTV didn't promote TSP yet treated the audience as a money tree. With the lowest budget, they've earned their profit yet they are still greedy. Nevertheless, audience still love TSP because they know who's the real culprit. They will uninstall MangoTV and not going to subscribe VIP membership in the future after the drama ends COMPLETELY.
This show is definitely worth watching. The last episode (ignore last few mins because MangoTV wants to earn money so they cut the scene into epilogue /extra), I would say, damn! This is not a simple rom com drama, there's lots of philosophy. Zheng Ye Cheng, you are such a great actor, his tears bring me into his character and I feel for Xue Yao, my heartache when he cried. Too much yet too addictive. This drama is considered superb, give it a chance!
The executives at Mango TV are not bothering to pretend, they’re truly greedy bastards. How is this good branding?…
The worst thing about Mango TV is they don't spend a single penny to promote The Sleepless Princess in China, they used low budget to make this drama. The China audience asked mango TV to promote the drama but mango TV ignored fans request, the channel only promote the other 2 ongoing dramas and don't give a damn about TSP. TSP did well in advanced pay so mango TV split it 3 times. Last week, the official Weibo said epilogue /extra episodes will be release this week and it should be free but this morning mango TV suddenly said they will charge and it will be air next Wednesday. All the fans were shocked because this was never mentioned in the beginning. I feel pity for the production team and casts, they won't get any extra money because its the channel that earn the money yet audience will put on blame on the casts because they said the drama is a HE. In fact, the scriptwriter said 35 ended abruptly, it is not the same as what they wrote or filmed. I guess we have to wait until next week to unlock the remaining scenes. The fans in China went to complain MangoTV because they are using the production team and casts effort without giving them the appropriate credits. Audience also feel cheated by MangoTV's actions, too disgusting. But The Sleepless Princess is really a great drama.
It seems that MangoTV earn quite alot from The Sleepless Princess for pay in advance therefore they cut the REAL ending and will only release it next Wednesday where VIP members still have to pay money for it. The casts, production teams were shocked because the real ending Is not as shown in episode 35?
Episode 27-28 where Chu Yue eloped with Xue Yao and they slept in the same bed. At that time, Xue Yao wanted to consummate but Chu Yue refused. This proves that Chu Yue is a self-respecting girl. She's afraid Xue Yao is drunk therefore they had a normal cuddled night. Xue Yao also respecting her decision until they re-married. She has always regarded Xing Chen as her younger brother, she doesn't love Xing Chen.
I have another understanding of Xing Chen. Xue Yao thinks that Chu Yue is deeply hurt because of his marriage to Na Xi. After being drunk, she became discouraged so she commits herself to Xing Chen. That is not love, but self-giving up, no wonder Xue Yao is angry with heartache. He feels guilty because he makes her lost herself due to his action. You better step it up and chase back your wife, Xue Yao!
Thanks for sharing your views and I generally agree with them. The character development makes sense given their…
The main point is not about pregnancy, all of them know its ridiculous to get pregnant within days. XC said that because he and CY are together now and they have had sex, so whether now or in the future, CY will get pregnant with XC child, its just a matter of time. XY don't believe in the beginning because he knews XC is telling ridiculous lies, but when XC keep emphasis on the bite mark, he still don't believe it until he saw the bite mark on CY's neck with his own eyes and listen to CY's words telling XY (she thought its XC) how she will be a good mother in the future. XY seeks for clarification from CY but she didn't deny, this is a triple confirmation from XY's point of view. He believes that they had sex but not pregnant yet. He believes alcohol makes them have courage to do so, which is why he asked her, did you ask him to refrain himself when he did that "thing" to you? He's angry because he treasure her and don't take the next step until she is willing to do so, bear in mind that they have 2 times to consummate but CY ran away, and XY is respecting her. This can see from the beginning, he don't mind if CY's virginity is taken, what he cares is whether she give it up willingly. Since CY said we will not go back, he decided to give up.
At Xue Mansion while he express himself with sword fight after drinking alcohol, he said, all my efforts to clear the obstacles between us it's just nothing, it will be just a dream. Since you have decided to be someone's wife, I do not have any valid reason to meet you anymore. He cut off the flowers that he love and spent years to grow it, but he stopped when he is almost cut the "Li Ren" flower. He defeated in this relationship, he used to said flowers and plants will not change feelings unlike human beings. They will always be there, he thought CY is different from normal human beings, he thought CY will not change her feelings on him which is why he always asked her to trust him so he can settle and resolved all the issues and obstacles, then go back to her. He was wronged, which is why he cut off his flowers but he lose because he can't cut the "Li Ren" flower.
Audience always say XY didn't tell CY all the truth but XY overestimated CY, he thoughts she will understand him that the wedding its just a political plot and once he resolve this problem, he can go back to CY immediately. Both of them underestimated each other, CY decided to give up on XY after the wedding, XY believes CY will still wait for him after the divorce (within days). CY didn't tell XY the truth because she worried someone from Palace might listen to her at XC's place, which can harm XC's reputation (CY still thinks about XC eventhough her chastity was ruined). Another double standards, XY can't think of cares about his brother while it is lenient for CY to think and cares for XC. XY didn't tell the truth to CY at the jail because NX is around, using both XC and CY's lives as a threaten and force him to cut off with CY. In the jail, NX said something to CY, "not all women like you, waiting people to save you by sacrificing themselves."
NX clearly stated to her, XY sacrifice himself to save CY, and NX will not use this method, she can force him to marry NX with her own tactic, without the man she loves to sacrifice himself. Unfortunately CY didn't get her words and think that XY is marrying NX willingly. Anyway, I believes this word will be the critical point in later episodes. Can't wait to watch the last 3 episodes
I thought the premise of pondering the plot is to thoroughly understand the background and personality characteristics…
After watching 32 episodes, I finally get what are the best way to get along with Xue Yao and Chu Yue. One is blind and the other is mute. Anyway, before that, one did everything but the other couldn't see it. One couldn't speak well even if has a mouth. The two suddenly became peaceful. I think both of them will last forever. Hahaha
I agree with some of your comment with about Xue Yao above.But I disagree with this part "Chu Yue, you are a military/soldier's…
Xue Yao's character - Without saying much, Xue Yao is indeed a very tolerant person. Mr. Bai made several bad moves, and Xue Yao never blamed him. Naxi repeatedly played conspiracies. He still let her go. Su Nan Nan cut down his flowers. He didn't go into a rage because he was a general and respected them as comrades in arms.
Too much emphasis on his external image, leading him to ignore his own needs. He doesn't live by himself, he lives for the people of Nansang, Xue family. Even if he sleep, he has nightmare and PTSD, he restrained himself most of the time.
The arrival of Chuyue made him see a different self, and that self constantly appeared in front of Chuyue. He has emotions that need to be vented, he has needs that need to be satisfied, and he has passionate emotions that need the comfort of his lover. He fell in love with this girl.
However, they are in a complex relationship where God play with them. He can regard Xingchen as his younger brother in-law/friend and Xue Mu as his elder brother, but he can't bear that their feelings for Chuyue exceeded himself. Is he a person who really understands about love? I think he slowly began to question himself. He is not like Chuyue, he don't read love stories or novel, he don't know how and don't understand how to express his love.
General Xue Yao is a good general, but not a good partner. He need to learn how to embrace and return the love. I believe with little experience and slowly, he will know what to do and he is definitely in love with Chuyue. That's how two of them attract and fall for each other. I believe the last 3 episodes will be great.
Are they any proper subtitle for this drama? I start watching ep 1 on website but have to stop halfway because…
Isn't YouTube has proper English sub at official mango TV channel? I believe they have location restrictions for Malaysia, Brunei and South Korea because these countries bought the drama copyright and will be airing in their countries.
I thought the premise of pondering the plot is to thoroughly understand the background and personality characteristics…
Two Brothers fall in love with the same person: Originally, I was very resistant to the setting of two brothers falling in love with the same person, but today Xue Yao's words let me relax. "My brother fulfilled my career" "me……" "Do I want him to fulfill my marriage too?"
Official career
The Xue family has been loyal and loyal for generations, and unfortunately all died on the battlefield and lost their souls on the frontier. Only the aunt, Xue Mu and Xue Yao two brothers depended on each other. Xue Mu always remembered his parents' wishes to fight against Xizhao and protect the people of Nansang. The same was mindset was given to Xue Yao, who was young and clinging to him. In Xue Yao's heart, his brother was a man who stood up, he was the backbone of his soul, his family, he was an excellent and perfect man, but the general Xue Mu, who was supposed to be on the battlefield, was impeached and could only enter the palace as a hostage for the Xue family. All the honor should belong to brother.
About Love
Brother Xue Mu fell in love with Chu Yue, silently guarded her and did everything he could for her. This was another impulse / shock for Xue Yao. The love he thought was once his brother. Fate. If my brother is not dead, can we be together? I followed my brother's clue, sneak into Palace at night, went to Guo Xi Ting and save Princess Chu Yue unintentionally, because of you, my brother, you saved her and died. I saved her and we married. We fall for each other but she never knows your existence, I didn't know you loved her, am I a bad person for taking what it should belongs to you? The woman that I love which should be....
Brother Xue Mu always appeared in his memories. He gave the audience a feeling of love, romance, perfection and excellence. In Xue Yao's eyes, he wants to find out the truth and wants to know the whole story. How could such an excellent brother end his life in a scribbled way (initially the clue leads them that his brother and Royal Court Yun were forbidden love therefore Xue Mu was killed in the order of King) . He gives up because he don't want to make Chu Yue have a hard decision between the emperor and him. And *bomb*, another truth reappeared. H Xue Yao was given not enough time, he has to calm himself and clear off his mind in less than a day, and he needs to carry out his responsibilities as a general. Which lead to his actions ABCD....
I thought the premise of pondering the plot is to thoroughly understand the background and personality characteristics…
Xue Yao did not consummate with Chu Yue when he has plenty of opportunities. Xue Yao looked at the bite mark on Chu Yue’s neck and said, "In Xue Mansion, I treated you as a treasure.. ." He can't bear to touch her or took her virginity before knowing both of them are truly loving each other and without Chu Yue's consent. Yet, Chu Yue makes him believes that she and Prince Shun have sex due to drunk. He questioned her, why she did not protect herself and give her up easily. Is she doing it with her consent or willingly? Just to emphasise that chastity is important for woman in the ancient time. Prince Shun was trying to save his sister with lies, that's no an issue. However, using her sister's chastity, it's hard not to believe he definitely has a sense of selfishness in him.
Regarding the younger brother Prince Shun, there are two points that are really controversial: 1. As the kingdom prince, he has too much of love brain cells, career line in term of business minded but lack of the real quality of Royal Prince who should think about his people in the kingdom 2. Intervene in the relationship of his sister many times
About career line
Compared with Xue Yao, who has really experienced the fragmentation of mountains and rivers and the decline of his family, there is not much mention of his tactics and management in the play. After all, there are two mentions of military training in commercial management and words. Prince shun said, "the more pity I am, my sister cares about me more." This is a wow, he definitely knows what he can do to makes his sister cares about him. Of course, for his career line as a Prince, the portrayal of this character is relatively flat.
About feelings
Even when he was drugged, he was still able to restrain his desire and actively refused to meet with Chuyue before he got his mood, which showed that he had a clear view of right and wrong. PS: This is the part where some audience being double standard. It's okay for Prince Shun to ignore his sister for days when he realised his feelings on her, audience gave him time (few days) to clear off his mind VS Xue Yao found out the truth that his brother and him LOVE the same woman, possible died because of her (after Xue Yao calmed down and think rationally within 1 day, he knows its nothing to do with Chu Yue). Xue Yao found out truth in the noon, refuse to continue the wedding in evening, he needs time to clear off his mind, but some audience feel that he should continue the wedding and treat it like nothing happen? I'm thankful that didn't make the plot angst by continuing the wedding, this is totally wrong.
For Prince Shun, its simple. He loves Chu Yue, so much that he only wants her to be good, so much that he don't need to think his own responsibility as a Prince. He just want to have a life with his sister, away from the Palace. As simple as it is, in modern world, he's full of love brain cells and lack of responsibility as a royal Prince. However, audience love it! They like this kind of man, I'll kill the whole world just to make sure my loves one is happy. I will treat my love one with all efforts that I could give. I don't need to think for anyone except for my love ones. He will always be there as long as she looks back. However, Chu Yue was protected by him since young, Chu Yue is too innocent and naive. Simple and thin as white paper, its breadth is tolerant enough to contain everything about you, but such love lacks of thickness and weight. Xue Yao, carrying the family mission of guarding the territories, has experienced the baptism of war, his love may not be as pure as the Prince Shun, but his patriotism and sense of mission are centripetal for the Chu Yue yearning for the vigorous love. Something that she wish too, else, she will falls for Prince Shun age ago but she never.
To put it another way, Xing Chen was lost when he was young, he and his sister grew up dependent on each other. His love for his sister was 80% family affection.
Family affection and love can never be compared, so I don't want to define him as the second male in traditional drama. The story falsely claimed to have sex with Chu Yue, I personally feel that the scriptwriter write it this way in order to promote the plot.
This is not love, silly brother. You are just lost as well. I hope he will be a good emperor, and it is worth having a girl who loves him back.
