Scheming Yu Lou

I can say that it is a quality production. It was nice. I had fun while watching it, I felt the romance both in terms of romantic comedy and showing a real love. It was not bad. Especially the romantic comedy between Wei Liang and Xia Tao was very entertaining. It was not good that it ended badly. I liked these. The romance of the leading actors pales in comparison to theirs. The relationship between Xiao Fan and Bi Zhi smelled of excessive romance but it did not pass us by. Because it was like the product of a cold relationship. I likened it to the relationship between a maid and her mistress within the framework of the marriage of a nobleman and a slave. But the spirit was given. In other words, the feeling that they were blindly in love was given. It was given but I did not get it. That is, something like that. Let's put it this way; the advantages of the series are that the production is very good, the costumes, the cast, the action, the acting, the management are perfect. However, there were problems with the story. Or I felt problems with the reflection. I could not find it suitable for the beauty and quality of the series.
We watched the classic Yu Lou. In my opinion, it was a fiasco from beginning to end. If you ask why. Think of a person, the woman the heir of the Wei Dynasty loves, but the man dies before they can get married. Before he dies, he says, "Take care of her, take care of her". But the woman marries someone else. He also dies. She becomes a talk of the town with someone else. She does not stay idle. This time, she is interested in the brother of the man who loves her, and wants to have a relationship with him. That person, Wei Shao, does not reciprocate her interest, but takes care of her as his brother's trust. He does not show the interest and attention he shows her to his wife, whom he marries. He hosts her in the best guest rooms. He does not do anything he says. But he does not reciprocate the woman's interest, that is, her love for him. Thereupon, Yu Lou starts various intrigues. Every time, what he did is revealed and Lord Wei forgives him. In the end, his secret is revealed and he gets fed up with it, so he kills Yu Lou's brother. She cuts off Yu Lou's nose, she says she will inform the other dynasties that she did this, she will send you home too, but none of this happens and the same woman continues her evil deeds by showing interest and concern for someone else, again by making people fight each other, until the end of the series. Even enduring this was agony. It was so simple, I mean, they shouldn't use it anymore. It looks like a patchwork sack now. I mean, this character is a character that is put there to make people fight each other, she is thrown around and owned as much as no one else is owned. I couldn't make sense of it. I think it was too much. Either this character should have been completely in the series, for example, she should have been the wife of the deceased brother. She should have had a say in the dynasty so that what she did would be useful. She wanders from one branch to another like a sparrow landing on another branch. Like a prostitute. And she is held in high esteem. Can such a character exist? Can this be valued? Could a man attack his wife for this? Could he strangle her? You would be amazed how such a clever and cruel person could believe this woman's nonsense. It didn't happen. I didn't like it. It overshadowed the beauty of the series. Would a dead husband leave his wife a general and 50,000 soldiers? Doesn't that dynasty have an heir? What a meaningless, meaningless thing. It's a whole other thing that other dynasty leaders believe such a woman. Is everyone an idiot? Is there no reasoning, no research is done. No investigation. No checking whether it's true or false. In other words, it's a complete fiasco.
Telling gossip to children by singing songs. It's probably a CHINESE classic now. Do you have a grudge against someone? Take 10 children and show them around the city. Make people sick of you. Such an approach. Can't gossip be normal in these days? Or in this country. These are simplistic. Screenwriter mistakes.
They kidnap Xiao Fan, her father tells his son-in-law that if you don't do what I say, I'll kill my daughter. Or Liu Yan will kill you. A father threatening his son-in-law with killing his daughter. Wouldn't a father tell him not to kill my daughter? I've never seen such logic. I've never heard of it. I understand if you and your daughter are at odds. You must have become enemies. There is no such thing. What is it? They were going to pull the groom to their side. After all, the girl killed herself. If the groom Bi Zhi had thrown the spear in his hand at those who were standing against him and threatening him instead of using it on those who were with him. The case would have been closed long ago. Logically wrong.
There is a backstreet at the entrance to the city. When Liu Yan's army enters, the Wei soldiers oppose him, draw their swords and fight like that.
But when the Wei army comes, Liu Yan's soldiers shoot arrows. The Wei soldier cannot enter or loses a lot of soldiers from the beginning.
If both armies had done the same, Li Yan would not have been able to enter that city. Another logical error. You make one shoot arrows. Let it not enter. You don't let the other shoot arrows, let it enter. At least you should have found another game, scriptwriter. It didn't work. Such simplicity doesn't suit this beautiful series.
I must say that I liked the harmony of the lead actors. If Liu Yu Ning is an IDOL, I also enjoy watching her. I accept the term IDOL series. I watch almost all of her series. Those who haven't watched can watch.
