I never liked Chen Yu Qi/yuki chan acting after her first role. At first she showed lots of energy but they put…
Yeah, so far she's quite good in it. Although I must say that in episode 4 the FL started to seriously get on my nerves with her supposedly clever babbling. Trying to show off like this actually makes her look childish and stupid. This is not due to the actress though, but due to the way the role was written.
Just noticed the main actor the one who destroyed EVERNIGHT 2. So it seems he is ok for mellow role. They casted…
Oh come on, that was not all his fault! Chen FeiYu is simply an impossible act to follow and fans just expected to get the same in season 2. Any actor who is not Chen FeiYu would have been a disappointment. Also, I didn't find the plot of S2 as engaging as S1.
Dude, when the Emperor goes bad/dark it is going to 100% be Eunuch Sun's fault. This guy is the epitome of the…
What annoys me the most about him is how he keeps telling this imbecile "yes, she is definitely interested, women are just shy..." Learn to read the signs, man!
The person who casted the cherries deserves an Oscar.
I wouldn't be astonished if Dylan Wang is now unable to eat cherries for the next six months because he's had to eat so many of them during filming 🍒 🍒🍒🍒🍒
9.0 rating????? Wonder if this is as good as it's rating
I guess people are just happy that there is finally a true wuxia drama, not romance with a few wuxia elements (for the ML to show off his prowess). I like romance dramas, too, but there are just too many that seem to follow the same boring script. I'm so sick and tired of the obsessive SFL/SML, the stupid misunderstandings that go on for several episodes (just because people seem unable to TALK to each other) and the obligatory break-up just before the rushed ending. So in that sense this drama is refreshingly different.
Or you can go here https://www.wattpad.com/1269228112. It's in Bahasa Indonesia translation but you can use machine…
Yes, he is quite intriguing, but I also like the heroine very much. I like the way she observes all the injustice and ridiculousness of palace rituals and still keeps a calm mind.
I just started this drama and when I read this, I was like "Nooo, they made BF a bitc*???"Seriously, when will…
I guess it will still take some time for the way women are portrayed in Xianxia/Wuxia to change, but I trust it will happen sooner or later. The negative reaction from the audience should not be without any impact. I still remember when I was a teenager (a while ago...) women in western dramas were always just hysterical bystanders whenever there was a physical altercation - with me shouting "hit him with the lamp" at the TV screen. We hardly see this kind of scenes anymore nowadays.
so wait yukee is a tribute lady .. does that mean shes not a virgin and is deflowered by the king already?
She only arrived in the palace a short time before the emperor's death. The tragic irony being that she didn't even get the time to enjoy any of the benefits of being a concubine before she's asked to die for a guy she's never met. This was not really made so clear in the first episodes.
As expected, the characters of the FL/ML are different from the novel. In this filmed version, the ML is less…
Yes, that's why I got hooked on the novel, although I have to say so far he is not what I would call "likeable". I'd describe him as "scary but intriguing". I love complicated grey characters and I think Dylan Wang is perfect for such a role. Those goody-two-shoes, ever noble characters are so boring (and unrealistic). Maybe we'll get to see more of this side in the next few episodes...
The verdict after 2 episodes: I like it! The pacing is good, the acting is pretty decent so far and the palace…
As expected, the characters of the FL/ML are different from the novel. In this filmed version, the ML is less ruthless and the FL less resigned to her fate. I guess it does not fit the set concepts of C-dramaland to have the romantic lead kill people with his bare hands and then eliminate anyone who saw it... This guy is so scary!!!
The verdict after 2 episodes: I like it! The pacing is good, the acting is pretty decent so far and the palace intrigues are laid out slowly so it's not too difficult to follow who is plotting against whom. Also, it's quite refreshing to watch a drama without the stereotype bubbly, silly female lead.
Wasn’t that his voice? I read that some where. They also used the real voice of the female lead in Love Between…
I understand. Over here in Europe many countries have strong regional accents (i.e. Scottish in the UK or Bavarian in Germany) however, it is normal and expected of actors to be able to master standard speech. I don't really see why Chinese actors would be any less talented.
PS: you're so lucky to be able to understand Mandarin, I have to rely on subtitles all the time. And now I'm trying to read the novel for this drama in the MTL version which is quite an adventure!

I may have to ask you for some pointers on translating certain terms...
