Haha so true! He gives each character a life of its own, each character is different and feel rich because he potrayed the logic and background each of his character, so it is consistent with the character progress and the story flow. He become his character itself 😁

Yes, Qi Yan is a person who has to supress his emotion because many people watching his every movement. So he must not display any emotion, and wear a "mask" of person who "killed" his own brother for the throne, so he must look coldhearted. So we only know his emotion through his eyes, and it is so subtle, so people who is not focused might miss it.
And he also display a different emotion according the character progress, such as when Qi Yan 8 years ago vs now. Back then he is gentle, warm, and full of youth, and also kind of afraid Qiu Shiliang. But Qi Yan now, he doesn't show any trace of afraid to Qiu Shiliang, in the 1st eps scene, he tested Qiu Shiliang, whether he will received his bow, his expression there slightly show smirk when Qiu Shiliang quicky refused his bow. And in front of him, he show his respect but behind him, he show his contempt. So i think his acting is great and consistent with the story progress and the personality of the character.
And his expression when he interact with Yu'er, because it is the 1st time he meet people with her personality, so he is not prepared & kinda amused, at 1st he is rather cold and awkward & curious to her, and after awhile he slowly adjust and get used/warm up to her. But through the process, he find himself afraid and confused what this emotion would bring to him. Cheng Yi display that emotion accordingly too.
And we will see his various rich emotion throughout the story 😁

Haha yes Ming Yue PTSD 😅😅

Yes i hope so too,, his rising in popularity might make many people jealous, and his agency didn't help much either. He only has his own talent and his fans to survive the industry 😥 i hope he can breakthough all the hurdles. I pray for his success 🙏🙏

Yes it also possible scenario if they want a happy ending for the main couple.
Prince Guang does share the same goal with Qi Yan, but power might blind people, especially if he is very ambitious. Because in history, he does get to be the emperor with help from Li Yan's opponent.
Anyway, I hope it ends well for all, except for Qiu Shiliang haha..

For now, they seems on friendly term haha.. although both still doesn't trust each other.
Anyway i have a feeling that Prince Guang may prefer the other sister 🤔

Yes, and his acting is so natural and consistent with the progress of the character, like the different between Qi Yan 8 years ago vs now. Back then he still so emotional and kinda afraid to Qiu Shiliang. Now he is barely show emotion and he didn't even show any trace of frightened toward Qiu Shiliang anymore, like in the beginning eps, when Yan Zhi bring the "medicine" from Qiu Shiliang, he even challenged
her. It is really wonderful to watch his acting 😁

Yes i can't wait! And i also kinda wish Qi Yan in the end can convince Yan Zhi himself, instead of Rou Yu. It is breaking my heart to see his expression when Yan Zhi confront him directly 😭 and what his promise to his mentor back then,,

Yes, because the clues are given within the drama progress. And i can't wait to know what is next in store for us to discover.

Hmmm these eps kinda slowly more to the direction of my theory that Qi Yan is the 3rd party/person. He "borrowed" the power from all these people to get to the destination that he want to achieve.
Hmmm,, Prince Guang, i also don't trust him, he also has the thirst for power.
I think all these people, all want power but afraid to be condemn in history for being rebels or tyrant. So they manipulated people to think they acquire the power through ligitimate reason.
I think it is only Qi Yan who really doesn't want to be emperor, but the situation forced him to do so.

Not because of her. This drama has smaller budget than L&R. Compare it with L&R, this drama is more recognized because it is able to aired in prime time tv satellite network (Hunan TV is one of the biggest too) and also in MangoTV website & apps. While L&R only aired in Youku in their 1st airing.
The number of views for 100 million in its 1st day airing is accomplishment, you should compare it with other dramas. And the rating so far is good, you should compare it with the dramas that aired within the same period in tv network. I think maybe they lack promotion in their international market. And MangoTV promotion power seems rather lack compare with other platform.

I hope they release it some day, because that only criteria for airing in TV network, after that, i think it shouldn't matter, right @MangoTV? 😏

Hahahaha,, so true!! 😍

I think they must have cut some scenes 🤔 that hair piece,, 6 eps is quite a lot 🤨

Yes, you should see it. It is too delicious to resist 😉

Yes, i am really sad too 😭😭 but he never said anything and continue filming. Sometimes i want him to prioritize himself first 😭😭 i can only pray for his speedy recovery 🙏🙏 And yes! He deserves the recognition indeed. 🤗🤗🤗

Meee,,, 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
He is really nutcase sometimes 😭😭😭😭😭😭 or is it everytime? 😭😭 But i think he is still in control of the situation 🤔 I wonder who send Cheng Xi?

He is a really dedicated and hardworking actor. I really admire him 🤗🤗

The live broadcast Cheng Yi cut 😁
The director praised Qi Qi for being so dilligent, in preparing for his roles, Cheng Yi had written a lot of character analysis for Qi Yan, and sent the context of the changes in the character stage and the attitude towards Yuer, his brother emperor, and others in the form of a word document, to the director and producer. He took the script and immersed himself in the atmosphere of the characters during the change of set or break. The director praised his seriousness and commendation, but he said that it was not just him, at that time, everyone treated the role very seriously and tried their best to make this show works. Qi Qi is so gentle and humble 🤗🤗🤗
Also there is funny part when the host asked him to re-play the scene in the drama but exchange role to Yu'er 😆😆 Haha, seeing Yu'er Qi Qi version is so cuteee,,being so naughty haha,,😏
