Chinese Empress

The problem is not the historical figure but the promotion of lavish lifestyle and historical accuracy to historical facts. So if they limit this point, they can use it

yes, he was using himself as a bait but the idea came to him when he killed Quan Jingting... he used the fact that he was in contact with Black Fox's power because he didn't want Qingtong to sacrify herself with the seed ( at the end she did too)

Yes, i know even the supposed end of LLF... let's wait

I was waiting so so much for this season, and again they didn't disappoint. I love this group of adorable dorks but still, LLF still has my heart.
His fighting scene in episode 5, a standalone, was magnetic, perfect, you can't even blink because of the magnificence. I really hope for this level until the end.
LLF, please, make things clear, because you can't marry PXJ avoiding the fact she will be involved lol

i don't think there was hatred towards them, but Hongye totally went erratic and through the wrong way, because of love. He knew it too but he couldn't help it at all. Hongye was totally destroyed because of affection and love, and this was his greatest fear about Fugui. The difference is the kind of affection that was lost. I can't blame them but Fugui is more than the extreme, even though i can understand him.
In a certain way i am proud of their son lol

i think he went to the extreme of the extreme lol he did it because he inherited Masked Group and his mother's desire to annihilate Black Fox but he was too extreme in his acts. This side is similar to Hongye's youthful ones before being tamed by Huaizhu lol but Fugui reached another level.
I can't dislike Fugui because how much i love his parents, and i understand in a rational way what he did. Fugui was born because of love, Huaizhu chose to sacrifice her own son to a greater cause and that's why Hongye totally lost his mind to sorrow. My idea is that Fugui was still aware that his father didn't hate him, at a rational level, but being a boy he was irrational and looked for affection. I think the drama nailed it better than the donghua, but the problem is the focus. Because of what he had only at the last moment, Fugui was easily triggered to reach an extreme level, more than his father.

I don't blame Fugui for giving up almost entirely to hatred, because Rumu was not only his cousin but his best friend, he went totally mad because of sorrow. Despite him being my precious baby boy because i love his parents' love, i partly blame him to use his hatred, give up on everything, in order to try against Black Fox.
Qingtong understood his decision at the end but stil... he's more an antihero than a true hero like his father. I want to believe Hongye understood him since in one of the final scenes the whole Masked Group and Huaizhu appeared behind him, but in the end Fugui was too close to become the emotionless Soldier Hongye wanted at the very beginning.

Late on comments after watching it online, but this is my favorite Fox Spirit Matchmaker installment. Zhang Yunlong and my Queen Liu Shi Shi were perfect in their role, as much as the other cast members. They nailed the role perfectly, getting me emotional, a lot emotional.
Dramas should not always have happy ending, but a realistic one. And in this one, the realism is real.
Hongye's feelings when he comes back is more hurting in his deep, not in physical damage.
I loved how the drama portrayed so well the way Huaizhu is the last ray of hope for him, and then life took it from him.

As the same for the donghua, Love in Pavilion is my favorite Fox Spirit series, and then Sword and Beloved. Love in Pavilion set the bar high for me, with the intense love story and the deep meaning.
For Sword and Beloved they changed and shifted the focus on mid- series but i still liked it. With fugui's background it was almost impossible a different ending. The whole unjust hatred on Hongye... my poor man, he lived totally destroyed emotionally, he survived because that is not life at all. Fugui is the only ray in his life, remembering him who he was, his love Huaizhu and the one he cared for. It's not a drama for everyone.

they are so cute, he being serious and stubborn and she being bubbly and adorable.

No, historical figures were not banned at all, it depends on how they manage it, And it's a minidrama so they can have it.

why are you petty about it? are you envious because this drama is a masterpiece and worldwide success and fans love it as it is? stay delusional, Xiao GeGe. You have a lot of time to grow up.

Only on MangoTV with autotranslated English subs for now.
As an hardcore fan from the very original of 1998, i'm gladh they quite left the atmosphere of Qing Dynasty too, and the one from the original story of course more modern.

not in China, you can't make everyone the same as robots. China has a different culture from every other country in the world. Stay mad if you can't understand it. A 45yo man is like this, not smooth skin.

adults where? not in China dear. I like Chinese skincare and i use it, but for sure i don't like fragile and delicate children, but i like men. In the drama it's not even about filter, but the actors all of them had 25+.
At 25+ you are an adult, not a child. You should be different from a child even in your skin. Probably you are a teenager that's why you don't like that. I'm not mad at all, i'm surprised that people can't distinguish a youngster from a teenager. The two male leads had almost 45 yo, do you think being all too polished seem natural?

you should watch it because it's way better than the korean one which is absolutely not serious. They are quite different. Chinese original is better developed, more introspection and reason and FL is more witty.
About the ending, you will cry but there is hope.
I couldn't take the remake seriously because of how frail FL was, childish princes and unserious structure development and ending.
Give the original Chinese a try

they won't. They will follow Chinese original novel and Chinese original drama

why should they have smooth skin like a child? they are adults, men, it's quite normal having that kind of skin. Adults prefer it. How old are you? And rough skin is sexier and realistic rather than fake smooth porcelain skin

Envious because Wu Qi Long and Liu Shi Shi are still together and love each other? I like Zhao Liying but i am not so ridiculous.
Everyone envy a perfect family like them. Wu Qi Long deserves our Queen Shi Shi and she deserves our Emperor Wu Qi Long.

Because not everyone can understand Hongye, that's why i don't think they can be watched as a stand alone. Hongye is a very important character for the development of his own son.
Hongye loves his son, because he is the only ray of light in the life that has deprived him of every affection he had. Fugui is the living representation of the love between him and Huaizhu, and represents who he was.
But what he went through left him totally destroyed at an emotional level, and here you can really see he hasn't overcome it yet.
He loved Fugui, his son, and it's exactly that love that makes Hongye protect him. Probably in his own way, yes, but i can't blame Hongye, not a single time.
