Chinese Empress

THANK YOU FOR THIS STATEMENT, YOU DESERVE A STATUE.
I think exactly what the same.

you will see at the very end

This is why this remake is superior to the original. Conveying emotions and feelings is what an actor and a drama should have as mandatory

people avoiding it are only petty that this remake is overshadowing the remake because it's way far superior in terms of acting, plot development, character introspection and message conveyed. kdrama fans are too petty and obsessed. Don't mind them.

The only official confirmation is 4th and 8th, the other character are speculations from the trailer. Agree with you about Fourth and Phuwin. I bet on Perth 10th, Force 9th and Tay Crown Prince. GMMTV officially stated that this will be based on Chinese original 2005 novel ( and the 2011 revision) so Chinese original 2011 drama, even though adapted in Thai history.
I am preparing a long post about historical period based on Thai people accounts because I asked to a few people about it.

kdramas always made me bored, too long it's a torture 60 minutes or more for each episode... i almost abandoned them as soon as i started with cdrama in 2014. I watch mostly because of remakes if it happens, but no more kdramas for me. I prefer avoiding western style series, and kdramas are too westernised since the very beginning, it's not recent of with netflix.

people tend to avoid cdramas because they can't be openminded. Watching cdramas is not having prejudices or western values, it's a whole new world different from the one you used to live. That's why I watch only them now

Her original intent has already shifted and she has subtly made it clear with Gu Chen, in a sense. It's only because she is still quite balacing in order to gain money that she has still some bond with him

China does not make fantasy, they are based on Daoism. But i can understand you, I don't watch kdramas anymore because they are too lighthearted, no seriousness and the acting is terrible. China does not have fantasy, historical xianxia are considered historical because they based them on Daoism ideal, not on fairytales.
You should give more than a try, they are far superior than any kdrama

Do you know that this remake was filmed in 2023? They took 1 YEAR AND A HALF for passing review and QUITE A YEAR for having a distribution license. BECAUSE THIS is the only right way to proper making dramas. Post production needs time, not a few months. and sorry, i love "censorship" which is control, not censorship which does not exist in China.
Kdramas can't cope with China, because they are not able to create dramas. My mister is an example of how bad they are.
If you like weak characters in drama is ok, in the original i would have everyone d****ad as they deserve because weak people should not exist in dramas, that's why i take distance in real life. Weak characters are not for me, and you can't prove to me they are strong when there is comedy

i engaged through the analysis, and the original has only weak characters. they are not strong like in the remake, this makes the original inferior. i won't change either, never. kdramas always have weak characters, why should i like them? stay petty when China is far superior

and i love "censorship", what can you do about it? i love control, what can you do about it? teach koreans how to properly do dramas. iU next drama will be a failure, they are still filming but they will air this year??? how is it possible??

And this will be my last comment to you and any korean obsessed fan, get a cure please. This page should be a welcoming place full of love and comparison, not for convincing people that laughing is good, when it's not. Crying makes your breathing better and enhances your internal organs. kdrama obsessed fans are too scared of tears, that's why you and others consider My Misters as heavy. You never watched Nirvana in Fire of Who is the murderer, or Imperfect victim, to consider My Mister heavy. Korea made even Go ahead as a romance, how can i take korea seriously?
I know tons of cdramas fans despising korea because it's too unserious and not teary enough. I can give credits to some korean dramas even preferring the remake, like Sky Castle, but My Mister should have cut those comedy elements completely because they mean nothing and they are not useful for teaching. Think what you want, you can't convince people when you watch few cdramas and not even on air.
No one should like kdramas or every nation, there is no such a rule in dramas. When korea will cut obsessive comedy and western products from their media, give me a sign and will give it a try.

And I want to highlight something bad on one side. I have never heard of any kdrama proving young people mass su***ide while there are some few cases in China about it, not only historical time travel dramas.
This is the power of China's superiority in doing dramas.
Su****ide is ALWAYS A BAD THING, it's obvious. But if kdramas are seen even by elementary children, i can't take them seriously, even more if they can't affect people to this point, they can't leave a scar for life. They can't be analysed and remembered when you are 99yo.
Drama should affect people, teach people, not being a leisure. This is one of the reason I claim this remake is far superior. People were affected by a coward actor, not for the drama itself. They won't imitate Ji-an's life because she does not struggle at all.
I am an cdrama watcher only, like tons of people here, because of it. I need a deep content even in CEO dramas, because you can learn from everything in life. I have no teaching from the korean dramas I watched, but from every cdramas I watched I have it a lot.

korean dramas? i say Cdramas, i don't watch Western things like korean dramas lol. Watched some, they are too comic like My Mister and I went away. They are too unserious and not my cup of tea.
I watched more than 5K cdramas because they are more serious, and they are proving it in deleting comedy in this remake.
Why do i insult kdrama fans? because you are praising IU's acting when she is monodimensional, when her character is not fighting at all until the end. how can i not insult someone defending a weak character? in the original Ji-an should have d***ed, because she is too weak for life.
And i can't take seriously people praising comedy as it is useful or even weak people. That's why i don't watch kdramas anymore, because they are for weak people. See? i have never considered My Mister heavy, on the contrary. It's the kind of drama a 2yo todler can enjoy, without heaviness at all. Comedy makes thing not heavy, and this is not adult's things. Probably you are very young though. And among the almost 30 kdramas i watched, i think. my mister and mr sunshine I laughed so hard i could not stop. And i laugh when people say they cried for those dramas, because they are too weak. kdrama fans are people considering my mister and mr sunshine, or even gyeongseong creature, as heavy, and I laugh when i read this. So heavy gyeongseong creature is not blood and mu***er but monsters from resident evil... so heavy mr sunshine is not even accurate historically... so heavy my mister is lead by a man who was even weak as an actor.
You can stand it if you want. i would never stand those trash things in my life.

lastly, I watched my mister and rewatching it now, and I still think I would have dropped it in episode 1 if there was no IU. I like her acting but none of her characters satisfied me 100000000%. The original is lighthearted and comic relied, there is no heaviness, no heartbreaking, even 2ML is a monotheme character, a playboy and nothing more. No threatening at all. Loan shark the same. I was expecting a sorrowful 10000000000%, I was excepting no comedy because there is no place for laughing in such a kind of topic. I was disappointed. I endured this torture for IU and i am rewatching it in order to compare, or I would have never done it.
Dramas are made with the purpose to teach something, what can you learn from the original? to surrender to life? promoting su***ice like his ML. good job then. I can't take seriously something needing "laughter for avoiding tears", because if a drama needs to break you to the point of needing a psychologist, THIS IS WHAT I WANT. And My Mister broke no one to this point, sorry to say that. The drama should enlighten people that life is precious no matter what, to act with moral integrity which is the reason why we are human. Korea lost its integrity allowing p*rn in its production, so the drama loses its teaching purpose.
If I am wrong, enlighten me then, because starting from the morali integrity value i see hypocrisy and no teaching in the original, for the second time.

And see? you are still talking about the actors, Analysing is analysing in detail even the setting, the path they walk in the street, clothes. In this remake I can see China, in the original i saw New york rather than South Korea, because there is nothing from Korea, starting from the watches, neckties, Ji-An's sunglasses and so on. In a drama, everything matters. You say it's not an analysis, but I can analyse the dialogues comparing and reflecting on the message they convey.
I am still more convinced people brainless wanting relax should never watch dramas in their lives, because it's 2026 and they are still mourning someone cowardly. He was the representation of his character, coward until the very end. I did not like original actor not rhe character, and i am not surprised. I perceive the rotten smell of weak people...

The scene you mention is at the very end of episode 1 and it simply shows the struggles of human being, which is totally washed away in the original. And i agree to disagree, when korean is too cringe they use modern BGM in historical dramas like mr queen or moon lovers. At least cdramas don't overuse them and they can distinguish between historical and modern. You mentioned what everyone thinks is the best historical thriller, Strange Tales of Tang dynasty, and sorry to say korea stopped with historical dramas since 2012 almost, and never did an historical one without romance.
Acting is EVERYTHING, from the posture of your fingers to your nose and your eyes. That's why I like cdramas, since kdramas have no post production at all. Do you think post production requires only a few months? You don't know how this kind of work should be done properly, that's why even in My Mister you did not notice the Western forniture clearly made in USa, and IU's clothes being fully from USA. Where is korea in My mister? I have never seen it.
IU's Lee Ji-An is a bad character from the start, because unlike Zhifeng's Zhou Yu'an she is weak, a complete idiot refusing to struggle. The scene you mentioned about pulling her grandmother, in the original there is no perception in struggling but almost a duty she should do, not with care at all. Even ML is a weak at its best and still does not change. There is no change in the original, until the last scene with still Western USA ( tailoring and brand pretty clear in IU's suit + ML's suit).
Cdrama won't ever use Western made clothes for their dramas, it's disgusting and I am disgusted from whoever accepts this horrible thing.
I watch dramas not for entertainment, but for teaching. And i have never discussed with a kdrama fan about philosophy, Confucianism, the forniture ( since no one is able to recognise they are not Korea-made), and for historical they don't know korean history.
FL and ML in My Mister NEED TO BE STRONG PEOPLE ACCORDING TO THE PLOT, IT'S MANDATORY.
ML is NOT weak as in the original, luckily, that's why i never liked him at all. I HATE weak people in life, sorry.
ML and FL are the real life representation than people NEVER give up in life for a single second in their own lives, they can prefer to stay quiet on their own but NEVER tries to avoid fighting. ML does not fight for a better place in job out of cowardice ( in the original he is a coward 100000%) but out of rationality. I empathise a lot to him.
In the original, I would not have cheated on him because it's wrong, but a simple quite attractive men without any manliness can easily deal to DIVORCE.
In life, if you act coward, you are like a d***ad body.
My Mister should try to TEACH audience to FIGHT in life every single moment, that's why ML say he thinks FL as strong, because she never gives up. Ji-An and Doong in the original are two ridiculous being not even possible to emphatise at all, two cowards they don't want to fight. IU has fish eyes, while Zhifeng in the dramas has a lot of microexpressions. Same goes for ML.
In a drama EVEN THE PANTS YOU WEAR are FUNDAMENTAL to the teaching of the message.
Should I take seriously a drama mellowing depression and anxiety, promoting cowardice and with bad acting? I would be the first one to fire weak people at work, they are a plague and they should be cured from their illness, and i have no fear to say it.
Yes, this remake is far superior because you can LEARN, not being an idiot on a sofa. You can TAKE REAL INSPIRATION to your own life, not relaxing like a brainless person in a bed.
I am blunt, yes, but i'm tired of saying people defending people I despise, meaning weakling. I can't take seriously people accepting weak people in real life and more people not banning korean entertainment from something disgusting like Crash landing on you which is an insult to every normal people with a functioning brain. If you like to watch fairytales dramas with daydreaming weak people, go ahead. I would puke to those products. Dramas are for educational purpose only, not for relax. This is what kdrama fans will never learn nor understand.

Episode 15. "Wake up". Yu'an is reminding an adult, the wife, to stop daydreaming and it's something impactful. She invites adults to face their own real world, their own reality.
Neet to be noticed, the first time they smile sincerely is to each other. And another thing, quite sure Jiaqi mom's house is the same setting used for Go Ahead's family.
I did not expect to find Daoism ideals in this drama but i'm glad to find it. " When you leave everything that makes you happy, a stable work, happy family, what remains is the true us". Jiang Jiaqi in this dialogue is expressing lots of adults' thoughts, because being an adult is not what you want to do, but what you need to do most of the times. It's learning to balance both to lead a stable life. Compared to the remake, I'm personally relating to Jiaqi's point of view, a rational way to think about life.
Yijun is as stupid as the original, but I find her a bit stronger in this remake about her dignity as a woman. She is guilty but she won't ignore her nature as a woman.
Episode 16. How much I LOVED the confrontation between Yijun and Gu Chen, and if Jiaqi forgives her I can perfectly understand, compared to the remake. She refuses to break her dignity. "I was so stupid". She leaved in a fairytale Gu Chen created and now she is ready to wake up.
And an important lesson for us women. Never let a man to see you cry for him, particularly if it's not worth of your tears.
Loved the confrontation with Chen too, it shows how much Yu'An cares for Jiaqi.
