I watched this on theater few days ago. This movie screams wuxia! This is how wuxia is supposed to be! I really miss the setting, the journey, the special effects, and ridiculous naming sense of martial arts π The story got me confused in some parts, and the ending....?? The last man is Qiao Feng wasn't it? Will there be a sequel?
So happy Chen Yuqi could take part in this blockbuster π her story is so sad. I was like "That was so unnecessary. He could ASK first before doing anything" π
when do the main couple get together and is there any breakup between them?
It's hard to say when they become a couple since they can't confess their love due to their status. However they always so flirty towards each other, especially FL likes to tease him. But around ep 14, they are no longer shy to hide their feelings. For breakup, it ep 23 and it only lasts for a few minutes bcs the next scene is back to normal π
She wasn't aware why the ML took away her lantern the emperor gave her. Or why the ML continued getting involved…
Bro, do you even understand Xiao Duo as a character? Xiao Duo is cold, arrogant, cruel, emotionless, intimidating, scheming, he cares for no one, unreadable, untouchable man. No one dares to mess with him. How could someone like him suddenly falls in love with a mere woman? A younger woman? Xiao Duo? Falling in love?? No one in this world would ever imagine. Even the empress who has been trying to seduce him, his godson, Yinlou's maid, King Fu, eunuch Sun, Wanwan, Prince Nanyuan, none of them expect it. But she could sense it after a while that's why she keeps teasing him.
How can an eunuch have so much power? It doesn't make any sense.Edit: I'm also referring to the disrespect Xiao…
If you watch the drama, it is explained at the very beginning and more info a little later. Basically Zhaoding bureau is a section where eunuch can hold power. Which is why Xiao Duo worked hard to join Zhaoding. Ever since he became a Zhaoding chief, he single handedly manages court affairs, including investigations, punishing criminals, security, and helped the late emperor. Xiao Duo won his favor and earned power more than any ministers. It's his privilege. That's why he said "I'm the hands and eyes of the emperor."
He was a villain I was truly freaked out by and afraid for the protagonists' safety. I usually find most drama…
Villains are divided into two types: 1. The third wheel villains 2. Power hungry villains
The first type tries to separate the couple by creating misunderstanding. They are busy scheming, but actually really stupid. The second type will be killed by the protagonist.
Murong Gaogong is the first type, but he doesn't use any plan bcs he doesn't know the truth. Therefore, he intimidates, he controls, he oversteps his boundaries, he abuses his power to get what he wants. All to cover his incompetent, weakness, and inability as a human bcs he was never treated as human. He wasn't born evil. As much as I hate him, deep down I pity him. The result of him being a complex character? π
Why do ihave a feeling that there's gonna be a part 2
I don't think there is. The extended ending and extra scene close the drama in a beautiful way. The novel ends just slightly beyond the drama ending. So there's nothing more to elaborate.
I've seen quite a few posts on Weibo towards the end of the drama where the casual viewers were praising the UL…
The reason why I don't like fanatic cp shippers is bcs they are delusional and harmful. I feel grateful that even though we love XiaoBu, we ship them as characters, not the actors themselves. Yuqi and Dylan are from Sichuan. Behind the scenes they are like neighborhood friends having fun bickering. I'm thankful to Dylan's fans who work with Yuqi's fans to create a peaceful watching environment πππ
Truely he has managed to stir the villian role in such a creepy way perfectly. And wheb he turned into "eunuch"…
He is one of the most complex villain in cdrama bcs he is not one dimensional and typical. XiaoBu is the main charm in this drama, but Murong Gaogong is the key to keep it intense.
I must give a big applause to Peter Ho. Murong Gaogong is a hard character to portray, has so much depth, but he brought this character into life. We can see this character development throughout the drama.
He started as a timid, weak, coward man who has no ambition. For him who has been bullied since young, Yinlou is the only light in his life. Then he started to learn how to use power, to intimidate, to gain, to control. His one and only obsession: Yinlou. After Yinlou turns crazy (nope), Murong Gaogong loses hope of living and makes him not wanting to do anything anymore. You could see the loneliness in his eyes. His only light has turned off. His sole reason to stay alive.
This villain is very interesting. We all hate him so much, means he succeeded. I don't know what else to say except: bravo, Peter Ho! πππ
it was so good till the end....how come emperor wasn't punished....if he remains the emperor and in future finds…
If you see it again, Murong Gaogong has been punished. He killed his trusted follower. Ministers and citizens despise him. He has no one by his side. His tonic has caused a side effects. He is already at pit's end. Moreover, the pain of losing of Yinlou won't make him survive.
Also, there is actually a continuation about the throne. Wanwan finds a male Murong bloodline and enthroned him as the emperor with her ruling behind the curtain. There are pictures of this, but they didn't show it in the drama.
It's a happy ending. There is an extended ending too on Weibo. A lot, and lots of romance! Fluffy, romantic, flirtatious,…
Murong Gaogong (Prince Fu) who will become the emperor, asked Xiao Duo (ML) to save the woman he loves from death. She (FL) doesn't even remember him, but he keeps on approaching her, forcing her to love him. His love becomes obsession, he wants to control her.
So happy Chen Yuqi could take part in this blockbuster π her story is so sad. I was like "That was so unnecessary. He could ASK first before doing anything" π
