Female dominance

I watched it from beginning to end with great enjoyment and curiosity. It was one of the best series I've seen recently. However, from what you might call episode 20, or maybe episode 25, the series deteriorated again. Whether they added something after the story ended or something else, they ruined this beautiful series. The integrity of the series was broken. I was going to give it a 9, but I've reduced it to an 8. I liked it so much that I was going to say it was one of the best series of recent times. The usual thing happened, and unfortunately, Chinese screenwriters ruin series towards the end. They don't know how to end them. Or they start to become nonsensical towards the end. They get caught up in the panic of how to end it, how to tie up the story. Or they just don't care. They say, "Watch it or not, that's it for me."

Cinematically, in terms of direction, acting, costumes, makeup, everything is very good, the story is also good, but in the final episodes, it's like they didn't realize how they were going to finish these 36 episodes; it's like the series was only 26 episodes long. I couldn't understand why they deviated from the main story and shifted to other things. I couldn't reconcile the series with the final episodes. I mean, I couldn't connect it to the story. Otherwise, you can drag it out endlessly, and it loses its appeal. That's exactly what happened.

Especially the pardon of the main culprit in the final episodes was unbelievable. It didn't suit the series. It wasn't a good ending.

It was a series where female dominance was very noticeable. These days, Chinese dramas are focusing on themes highlighting women's dominance and success in social life. This was one of them. There was a lot of praise for women's achievements. It was very noticeable.

I liked the chemistry between the lead actors. All the actors were harmonious and good. I recommend everyone watch it.

Friendship, brotherhood

I liked the series. I watched it with interest. Were there any parts I didn't like? Yes. Were there any mistakes? Yes. But I don't want to talk about these. Because I watched the series with interest until the end and generally liked it. First of all, friendship and brotherhood are discussed. It was very emotional in some parts. It made me sad that the heroes died. I was especially saddened by the death of Yueri's character. His words before he died seemed to indicate that he would die. Like let's always be together, never be apart, let's grow old together. Even the fact that the man she loved was excluded as a lover because he loved someone else did not affect her. He continued his friendship and brotherhood. This really impressed me. I am sad. The deaths of Tang Yu., the character who had to be bad but tried to be good because he loved him, the Female General, the immortal master winemaker, and the fairy butterfly, had an impact. Finally, Ling Er went to her death. The series ended before I could feel it. Looks like there's more to come. What I mean is that there were very emotional, sad scenes and an ending. But I felt the love, warmth and friendship in the series. I especially liked He Yu.'s performance. This kid has acted in good TV series lately and proven himself. I think he will be a sought-after star. I liked your game. It is also successful in activation. It suits me too. Yang Yu Tong, on the other hand, seems a little more subdued. I last saw him in a small role in the TV series Faithful. I liked it very much. Maybe that's why he was offered the lead role in this series, or maybe it was because of his bravery. Because there may have been some people who didn't want to shoot the snake scenes. In my opinion, the role may not have suited him. I do not know. I guess it wasn't the first name thought of. He also portrayed a good character as A Nu in Hu Yi Xuan from the TV series Faithful. I like. He was also very successful in Faithful. He was successful here too. Likewise, I also really liked Xu Hao, who played the character Yueru. Was very good. Overall the cast was good. But I would like to say that I did not find some of the actors, especially Yu Tong, good in this drama. For example, I couldn't understand what Zeng Li was doing. Why did you waste such an actor here, he was so funny in the role you gave him. I didn't like the role given. It didn't happen. I didn't like the actor playing the king. It didn't happen. There were deficiencies in CAST. You must fit the selected actor well into the role you have chosen. Suitable for his role. He should give his due. It's a shame to cast a good actor in an unfair role. Because the role isn't worth a damn. I have seen such shortcomings. But overall it was nice. Well done to those who worked hard. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it. Watch.

Two separate worlds

Generally speaking, I liked the series. However, I didn't like the ending. It was not a pleasant ending. At first, I didn't find the lead actors compatible with each other. Irene Song is a petite type. His very thin face is a bit childish, if you look deeply you can also see an old face on the same face. He has such a face too. He is a chirpy, active, enthusiastic, childish type. No matter who he plays with, let alone Wang Yu Shouo, such romantic roles are not for him. I watched it as two separate characters. I watched Irene Song and Wang Yu Shou as if they were two separate personalities, I accepted them as if they were separate rather than together. They couldn't come together completely anyway. But as an actor, I can't say anything to anyone. The role assigned to Irene Song was too much. Also, he has been activated, he has become a general, he is fighting and overthrowing everyone in his path. But he doesn't seem to have the strength to raise his hands. 35 kg. A girl who weighs This role is too much for him. So wrong person. I'm not saying he couldn't do his role. It didn't suit him. There was no double. However, they played their roles well. The story was good. Drama scenes were nice. I felt like I was about to cry. I was so impressed. The activation scenes were also nice. The actors were good. The supporting cast was also good. I will not touch on the simplicities and mistakes. Because it happens in every TV series. There were many. But it can be watched. It's a series you can watch without much expectation.

First of all, let me say that it was a series that I loved watching. There were times when the level dropped. There were a lot of repetitions. Sometimes there were places where I said that was enough. Especially the bad woman ying yeng, the curator. I have never seen such a curator. Probably because he was in the heavens, he took root in the whole heavenly realm. It was very strange that someone in charge of the exhibits, which we will call the warehouseman, let someone who has a godly power leave what he did not do. Come on, you've finally sent this woman into exile. Mashallah, while the good ones were creeping up, this bad woman again took root in the nation. She kills whoever gets in her way. She is ruining. Others are watching. We passed that too. This woman is dead. She turned into an ice sculpture. He resurrected again and did evil. Oh, now I waited until the end of the series because this curator would come out from somewhere. I didn't particularly like these parts. I did not find it suitable for the series. I had a hard time understanding why. Then we should have said that even if you made a strong God, it was a strong personality you were dealing with. It didn't happen. Congratulations to the lone player. He portrayed evil so beautifully. I hope he doesn't get stuck on these roles. Other than that, I took it a little more normal. After all, it's a fantastic series. I especially liked the actors. It's a team of very good players. It was like a celebrity parade. When I saw the very good, very beautiful and handsome actors together, I wished it wouldn't end. I especially liked the young actors, especially Yang Zi, Chengi Yi, Ray Chang. I laughed a lot at Marshal Huo. Congratulations to Li Yu. Let's not miss our director together with the actors. I can say that the management was close to perfect. The view is magnificent as always. The ending did not satisfy me a bit, but it was as if they died and were reborn, but found each other again and were happy. Or something similar. It was as if it was left to the imagination of the audience. But I still get the result. It is satisfactory from my point of view. I expect such beautiful series from our directors and producers and new works with such a group of actors.

A Zhao Lu Si Classic

It was a good series that I enjoyed watching. It has become a more watchable series with the difference of Zhao Lu Si. Because the player has a lot of influence. Let me say so, it has increased the quality and watchability of the series even more. Otherwise it would be a more ordinary series. It's a series that we can't say anything like because it's fantastic. There were minor mistakes and places where I thought it would have been better if it wasn't like this. There were places I found wrong. But overall, it was a good series. Other players were good too. Unfortunately, Wang An Yu appeared in ninety percent of the drama with the same face, a resentful, sad, tearful face. I do not know the reason. Maybe the director wanted it that way. However, it suited his role. The two leads were compatible. Besides them, I liked Li Yun Rui, CAo Fei Ran, He Kai Lang, Jia Nai. Cao Fei Ran was especially successful in the role of the evil woman. I liked it as a game. The management and shooting were very good. I recommend it to fantasy series lovers.

Today you're king, tomorrow you're gone.

It was a good series. I enjoyed watching it. Those who like this type of series can watch it. Because it's a bit of a political series. There's a lot of dialogue. Long conversations can sometimes be boring. The action is watchable, but the excessive dialogue reduces watchability. It gets tedious. That's why some people stop watching.

It depicts the turbulent period of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. We can say it represents the transition from instability to stability. The lives of three kings, in particular, who contributed to this are the focus. The unification is depicted in the end.
I liked it. There were minor flaws. There wasn't a complete narrative. Otherwise, it wouldn't have been something that could fit into so many episodes.

There's no romance in the series. Only in the last episode, the conversation, hugs, and funeral ceremony after King Chu's wife's death moved me. While the kings, especially the fathers, are the focus, except for one king, none of the kings' wives, mothers, or fathers are mentioned. Those topics weren't explored. In other words, the subject wasn't delved into.

There was a guard played by Wan Zhi Peng. Every time, this man gets removed from his post. But then you see him doing the same things again. In one scene, the Guard Commander he portrays is removed from his post and demoted to private. In the next scene, you see the same man, as Guard Commander, beheading someone else.

Also, in the Qian dynasty, I think the sixth prince dies as king. Afterwards, his brother becomes king. When he dies, the mother figure appears. So, it seems these princes had mothers who were alive. Why wasn't she present at the deaths of the other princes after the father's death, or at their reigns, but only at the death of one prince? I was surprised. For example, such interesting things happened. I found it strange. I wouldn't say I found fault, but these felt like patches. They distanced the series from its core. It should have been all or nothing. It's as if one had a mother and the other didn't.

All the kings are married, for example, but their relationships with their wives were never shown. There were brief glimpses, but no detail was explored. The sons didn't rebel against the other becoming king. So, even if these events happened, they weren't reflected to us. There can be shortcomings like that. But not in this many episodes. It would take hundreds of episodes to fully capture it. It reflects that period in a general way. I liked it. I even compared it to "Nirvana On Fire" at times. It's not quite on the same level, but it's about the same. Bai Yu, Zhou Yu Tong, Zhu Ya Wen, Yu Hao Ming, and Dong Yong were especially successful. Ni Da Hong reflected his experience. He was very, very good. I liked it a lot. Wu Hao Chen was unexpectedly good. I didn't expect that. Jiang Kai, Gao Yu Qing, Edward Zhang, Wang Zhi Peng, and Mei Ting were the ones that stood out to me. I also liked the young princes. I especially recommend it to those who like political dramas.

The Rise of a Maid

I've never watched a series that was this short from beginning to end before This was the first one I started and finished. Success stories interest me. These themes are frequently explored in Chinese dramas. There are even stories of women who enter the palace as servants and become queens. Of course, their experiences, their struggles against evil, and their rise through the ranks are captivating. I like these kinds of stories, and I've watched many similar series. This series was good. That aspect caught my attention. I watched it with curiosity. I liked it. However, I encountered the fact that it was kept too simplistic. Also, the story was superficially explored without in-depth investigation. The idea of ​​a servant ruling everything was excessive. In other words, it didn't work. Similarly, in this palace where those who gain power kill each other, it's almost impossible for this servant to rise through so much intrigue and planning over such a long period. Because she has no authority. She's just an ordinary servant. Anyone could kill her. No one would even ask. In such a time period, such a place, you're not only preventing death, but you're also imprisoning and punishing members of the royal family who are far more powerful than you. It lacks credibility. Maybe there are small things. You can prove your point. Or you can prevent some things with your intelligence. You're clever. You're intelligent. You're educated; you can get away with some things that way. But never everything. From this perspective, we can see that the series lacks credibility and realism. But if you don't mind such things, you can watch it with curiosity.

Apart from the lead actress Jade Cheng, I didn't like any of the actors. Jade Cheng really carried the series on her own from beginning to end. She was very successful. But there was no one suitable for her, no one who could carry the series with her. Aaron Deng was very weak; he could have been omitted altogether.The acting of the actresses playing the palace lady, the emperor's wife, and the concubine was terrible. It was obvious they were acting. I didn't like it. I only gave it a 7.5 rating because I watched it out of curiosity. As I said, the fact that it's a success story attracted me and made me watch it.

Lots of bloody fights

I liked the series. However, it's not a show everyone will enjoy and watch. There are too many fight scenes and too much blood. It's almost impossible to see a decent man. There's no romance. There's no romance. There's a female character, but it seems far from romantic.
It's a cautionary tale. They captured the situation of the time beautifully. It's done very close to reality. This is where we know that being too realistic doesn't appeal to people. This is also why the viewership has dropped. I think it's a cautionary tale. It's also a revenge drama, and it's a depiction of evil, poverty, lawlessness, injustice, the hegemony of the upper class, and a system where the powerful oppress the weak. Of course, there are those who defy the order, those who try to enforce the law, but they don't let them do it. They've portrayed it beautifully.

I liked the director. I liked the plot. I hope there's a sequel. I liked the play and the actors. There are some things I didn't like, but they don't mean much. For example, the situation of General Curcen. First of all, the actor lacks the charisma of a general. Second, it's nice that he shows his true self, but he also gets crushed. Both of these things don't make sense together. The actor couldn't distinguish between them. It didn't work. A general takes a beating like a general. He experiences pride like a general. He also expresses his crush like a general. When he's beating someone, he's like a general, but when he's being crushed, he's like a homeless person, unemployed, or a vagrant. No way.
So, there were a few flaws in the character and the portrayal of it. Of course, in my opinion. Secondly, the excessive amount of blood and fight scenes, along with the constant lack of visuals, affected watchability. Monotony prevailed. This series dominated by poor visuals. I think it would have been much more engaging if the plot had been diversified with a few more incidents.
As for the actors, Ro Woon was a perfect fit for the role; the image transformed him; he looked different from his real self. His acting was quite good. I really liked it. Shin Ye Eun was rarely seen. He was good when he did. I think the star of the series was Choi Gwi Hwa. I've seen this actor in a few dramas this year, and we'll see him in more. I think his performance is a candidate for Best Supporting Actor of 2025. I really liked it. Well done. I hope he wins an award. Park Seo Ham also appeared in very little, but he was good. Park Ji Hwan also did a great job, and his image was spot on. He suited him very well. He was also a great actor. The group of thugs with him were similar. They performed well. Another actor who suited the role was Jeon Bae Su as Chief Kang, who was also very good. He suited the role very well. I liked it. Choi Won Yong also appeared in very little, but he was a good one. I liked it. Kim Dong Won seemed a bit good at first as the General, but then he couldn't carry the General burden. He should have used the same attitude constantly. It seemed to me he couldn't maintain it. Kudos for his effort. Overall, I liked the cast. I've also noted the notable ones. I also congratulate the director. I recommend it to those who haven't seen it and appreciate realism.

How Fresh Litchi Turned Stale

It was one of the rare realistic Chinese dramas I've watched recently. I really liked it. It had some flaws, but they didn't affect the overall effect. Some of the actors also had weak roles. Apart from that, I was very impressed by the realistic and immersive exploration of the events surrounding the fresh litchi shipment, the detailed portrayal of the characters, the perfect reflection of the bureaucratic and hierarchical structure of the time, the oppression of the people by the authorities of the time, bribery, extortion, extortion, a concubine's demands for impossible things, the slightest touch of romance and family relations, the portrayal of trade and related services, the conflicts there, and the revenge. It's an adaptation of a novel. I congratulate the writer and director. They conveyed it beautifully. I also commend the writer's writing. I especially liked the lead actor, Lei Jia Yin. She played her true self. It's hard to act this realistically. She was that good. Congratulations. Also, Yue Yun Peng was great. Well done. GOng Lei was great. Well done. Feng Jia Yi was fantastic. Well done. Lu Liang portrayed a knowledgeable, experienced merchant beautifully. Well done. Our girl Li Luo Yi, who played Xu Er, was very good. Kun Yu was also very good. I really liked it. Especially in the final scenes of the last episode, her death scene with Yun Peng made me cry. Lu Fang Cheng was very good. It really angered me. I liked Zhou Mei Jun. Shawn Dou added color. He was charismatic. Zhang Tian Ai played beautifully. Beautiful portrayal. Well done. Nashi was very different. A different actor. I noticed the difference. Vivienne Tien also suited the role very well. Congratulations. I liked all the other actors. As I said, there were minor flaws, but with such a large number of actors, there's excitement. Overall, I watched a very realistic, constructive, and exemplary series, and I really liked it. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it.

A heavy story and narration, good acting

It was a series that I liked in general. I watched it until the end. Although the story was not perfect, it was a good story but it had a slow rhythm. I got bored sometimes while watching. The long conversations were especially boring. It confused the story. The beautiful series sometimes fell to the ground. However, the savior was the actors. Get rid of the actors, the story remains below zero. The series stopped being a series. The actors saved the series.

It does not suit the series to give everything away just because we are watching a fantasy series. Even gods die, some so-called gods even eliminate their superiors. They play tricks on them, they deceive them. A deity who is an ceremonial god rules the entire world, no one hears his soul. A god packages a city and sends it 250 km to the other side. The person next to him cannot understand who he is. Who has the power to do such a thing? He learns at the end of the series. After that, there are angers, resentments, etc. The man cuts his hand and throws it away. They wake him up. He returns to the world with his healthy hand. What happened to that cut hand? You will say, the man is dead and you are asking about his hand? It is really such a situation. I gave examples to explain the seriousness of the series. They even hit the bottom of fantasy. It didn't happen. What a shame for these beautiful actors. If it weren't for them, it wouldn't have been watched anyway. They should pray for the actors, I gave the score for the effort. Liu Xiue Yi is a very good actor. His face goes well with every game. He has a pale and calm facial feature, but I should call it an actor' face. He looks older than he is. He looks mature. He goes well with every role. He is a successful actor. I appreciate it. I last watched Tiffany Tang in "The Legend of Xiao Chuo". She was much better. She is a good actress anyway. I liked her acting in this series too. Sometimes there can be a good or bad distinction between actors. The male actor may be more dominant, but I think Tiffany, who got married and had children, showed her acting again and did what was required for her role. The other supporting actors were also perfect. Especially in the 30th episode, master actor Tang Jian Chang made an acting debut, her performance in her short role was applaudable. I applaud her too. Cristy Guo, Wang Hong Yi, Daniel Zhoi, Zhang Li, Jiang Kai are the prominent actors. I liked the entire cast but I thought I'd write some of them again. No offense to those I didn't write. The acting was good and the action was good.

Jun Fei Fan's Story

I liked the series from the beginning. I had hopes that something good would happen. I said there are good actors. I said there is action. I said if there is romance on top of it and it is kept in the story, it will be delicious. I wish I hadn't. The story gradually became less and less story-like. It drifted away from the subject. It turned into what I was watching. First of all, the actors are not compatible with each other. They are not equal. They are very different. Angela Baby is a very good actress but I could not recognize her in this series. Or it seems that it is getting harder for her to act as she gets older. There is no facial expression. She started with the same face and finished with the same face. Our young lead actress Song Wei Long will be a good actress. Her facial expression is very good. She plays older than her age. She is also good. However, there is no harmony between the two leads. There is no harmony. There is a difference. It is as if they are playing separately. I did not like it. Wrong match. For example, Yao Chi was wasted in this series. Except for her emotional scene in the last episode, she is almost non-existent. However, she is a very good actress who deserves to be the lead. She could not show her other skills here but she has a good fabric. In my opinion, she fits the Angel Faced Monster expression. She does these well. For example, Ren Hao was good. Because she darkened herself and went like that until the end. Because she was suitable for her role. Bai Bing Ke is a very good actress. But the character given to her. Is it a crazy princess role or something? It was like harassment from head to toe. You could have at least not called her princess, it was a shame for this actress. I liked Wang Yi Ting. The role went well for her. She did well. Her action also looked good. She also gives a good image. Well done. Young actors were better, I think. I liked the supporting roles. But I didn't like the series in general. The story didn't go as it started, it was fragmented. I'm not even going into the king and chancellor events, I mean, impossible things happened. It was a weird scenario. Especially that uncle and his son, okay, their funny side, but it made me wonder how such a businessman could exist. I was surprised whether to laugh or cry. However, the actors played well. However, the story and scenario were terrible. Sorry. It didn't work.

The Prince Who Doesn't Want to Be King

The story started off well. It progressed well for a while. Then it turned to the Prince Who Doesn't Want to Be King story. Although he chooses all the kings, he doesn't want to be a king himself, and he doesn't even accept getting married and having children. Such a personality. However, our hero is someone who has taken in and raised a lot of orphans, and made them into men. The woman also wants to be an apprentice to someone who fits this name. But she falls in love with her master. However, her master stands by his words even though he loves her. Good. It's understandable to some extent. However, later on, he consents to the woman he loves marrying someone else, even though she doesn't want it. This marriage breaks up. Then, the man insists again and wants to marry her again, and they get engaged again. He says yes to this. In other words, just as he plays with the woman's nerves, he also plays with the audience's nerves. Such a character is unacceptable. It's wrong. This character doesn't kill his opponents and surrenders himself to them in the last episodes of the series, despite his own soldiers coming to the rescue, despite having the opportunity. Our hero turns into a paper tiger. Because he wants to save the little king, he sacrifices himself instead. It's understandable. But it's advantageous. The little king comes to him. When he comes, he can kill both enemies in front of him. But he doesn't. He is torn to pieces by these enemies. It's not going to happen. It's not possible. But they did it. It's wrong. Likewise, let's leave aside our paper tiger hero. Our smart female hero also marries that prince. She says if my mother allows it. She agrees to marry without saying a word to her mother. Why doesn't she talk? Finally, the female hero also commits suicide. The mother says I'm guilty etc. So no matter where you look, I only have the last episodes. It didn't happen. It was like a comedy of errors. Some things didn't make sense to me. There was no sticky love affair. It seemed like loving from a distance was the most beautiful of loves. These places were good. These kinds of loves of the secondary roles were also handled well. The director was very good. The actors were very good. I really liked the cast. But I can't say the same thing about the script. I was going to give the series an 8, but I have to give it a 6.

The warmth brought by coldness

I watched the first 20 episodes of the series with great interest. After that, I can say that I watched it with some difficulty. In my opinion, the series was like a series that stagnates from time to time, offers beautiful cinematography accompanied by visuals, and is shot like award-winning movies. The music was also nice. I likened the series to award-winning movies that prioritize visuals, push the subject to the background, shoot a long scene, and are made as if they are emphasizing reality. The visuals are terrific. The music is good, the acting is good. Especially Li Qin has a clear beauty, she plays slowly and steadily, and poses calmly, serenely, and beautifully. The clothes also suit her. Being a doctor suits her. So do the movements. But stagnation only goes so far. It seems like a disjointed process. Sometimes she gets active. But Li Qin never gets active, thank God. She works as a doctor while lying down. She drinks constantly. A different kind of doctoring, a cure for every patient, an end to hopelessness. Go find me this and bring it. It comes right away. A few rare herbs and items come from Joseph Zeng instantly. It is supposedly a laborious task, but in the plans given to us, it seems to be solved quickly. In other words, I perceived it intermittently. It does not suit the series to find everything so quickly and as if it was put into place by hand. It did not happen. It remained simple. This is not our main topic, these must have been acted as side factors. Then, the Mio Feng character and the Zi Ye character play go from time to time at a common point. In other words, they must be in transition areas. It is shown as somewhere close. However, when they show the areas where the two live in the last episodes, it seems as if they are 4-5 days away. How do they play this game on foot and come to their living quarters? This superficiality made me stupid, for example. Which one is correct? If the distances are short, why were we the only ones able to get there in two long episodes? But why did we get there so quickly before? There were also problems in the transitions between topics. For example, the chief of the sword sect sent his sixth member as an agent to an opposing sect. While it is being discussed, this is his daughter's husband. His grandson dies. It is never mentioned. The head of the sect does not say it. They even say the seventh member killed him. He does not speak up. In the last episode, he says I sent him away. Are you angry with me? He did not tell his daughter either. This was not shown. His daughter knows her husband died. She lost her son. The woman lost herself. The man still has no idea. There is such indifference. There has not been a script written with an understanding befitting the subject. There is too much cruelty. The same cruel people became monks, grave guards, doctors. What is this diet, what is this pickled cabbage. In other words, the subject is like five different things. The reflection of the subject. It did not happen. I said it from the beginning Acting, visuals, music. There is nothing else. There were emotional scenes too. Let's not skip it. There is love but it was not felt much. The ending ended badly. Maybe it is a game that it did not end the way everyone expected. It is a quality. It is breaking the mold. It was formed according to the event. It is normal. I liked the actors. Joseph Zeng played the game. His activations were also very good. The reflection of his state after his beloved died in the last episode was also nice. I liked it. Li Qin was like the warmth under the coldness. He has a look as if there is warmth hidden under that cold stance. He gave pictures with his stance, calm and serene show. Even that was enough. No movement. Being a doctor suits him. Edward Chen was very successful in action scenes. He couldn't show the same in action scenes. What is Jenny Zeng's problem with Joseph Zeng? Are they related? I don't know. But this actor did justice to his role, his action is also very good. I liked it very much. Kim Jin's image suits him very well. It was as if someone else was playing him, not himself. He wouldn't have been this successful if he had played with his own face. I liked it. The cast was good in general. But I found too many mistakes, too much stasis, too many cuts. Would I watch it again? It's hard.

Snow Dragon Moustache flower

I liked the series in general. I enjoyed watching it. The story started with a sense of revenge, then the struggle between two brothers, then it turned into getting rid of an incident that was thrown at him. When events such as sending a princess to make peace between two countries, and the detention of a prince and the reflections of this were added, the story got a little confusing in my opinion. Also, both our prince and the woman he loved were poisoned, I think the prince got rid of the poison but the woman he loved could not get rid of it and eventually died. The deaths were very emotional. The scenes and the processing were done accordingly, I got very emotional while watching it. Zi Gu's death scenes especially upset me. The scene where Guard Qing Yan caught fire and jumped on the explosives was terrific. It was a scene like a triumphant excitement with emotion. I liked it very much. Bravo to those who think about it.
I think the negative aspects of the series are especially the Mei Lin character dying and reviving. This did not happen. At that time, it is difficult for a person to die and revive if they are poisoned. It is not possible for them to recover from illnesses so easily and then fight, assassinate and fight hundreds of people an hour later as if nothing happened.
It is also impossible for a Prince to get married without permission from his father the Emperor. It would be fake. It would not be announced. It is like an illegal marriage. If so, it is possible. I cannot say anything. Those issues were never discussed.
My last negative remark is about Baron Chen, who plays the character Prince Xiuan Lie. In other words, I like him. I have watched a few of his series. In this series, I watched him with astonishment. Can he be played this badly? He acted as if they forced him to act. He played it showily. He acted according to the book. He exaggerated. He made it very obvious. In other words, when his scenes came, I felt like shouting that I do not want to watch it. That much. In other words, I became estranged from the actor. I did not expect such a performance. I was shocked. Did the director force him? Otherwise, I do not want this role. He is in the mood to direct me and let's play like that, let's finish and leave. He was very ugly. Please excuse me. He should watch himself. He was the worst actor. In terms of acting.
I really liked the harmony of the lead actors, Xue Yi and Jin Yan. They were both very successful. Jin Yan is very successful in these assassin types. His stance and action are very good. I also really liked the emotional scenes. I think Xue Yi has surpassed himself. I watched a lot of his series. He was successful in all of them. He works very hard. Well done.

The other actor I liked was Huang Ri Ying. He was very successful in the Zi Gu character. Although he doesn't look much, I think he did his role very well. He added color with his cheerful, excited, lively attitude. He put his weight on it. They also did a good job with the veteran actor Jiang Kai about his marriage to an old emperor. I think he made him feel comfortable. In other words, he acted by thinking about the person opposite him, that's how I saw it. I got the feeling too. His emotional scenes were also very good. Wen Jun also had very few scenes. He gave himself an air and went with that air, he portrayed a prince beautifully with his stance and serious attitude, he gave his role a different air. There was nothing extra about the role, but I still say it was good. I liked it. I found Wei Tong good in the guard character. Well done. And our female general Xiao Tang. I was hesitant at first. But I don't know if my eyes got used to it over time. I said he was a very good general. Although his role didn't have much weight, he gave himself the air of a general. I found him successful. I recommend it to those who haven't watched it.

A strange Overlord

It was a beautiful series that I can say was extraordinary. It was a series with a very good story and, according to him, very well constructed, acted and directed. I especially congratulate the Japanese players. I congratulate the director separately. Likewise the fiction.
First of all, the story was very good. The atmosphere and life of that time, especially the missionary movements, and the harmony or perspective of foreigners and local people are reflected beautifully. In addition, sections from Japan's administrative order and social life at that time are also given. It satisfied me in terms of credibility and reality. They have given everything in its place. Missionary movements and sectarian concepts, and therefore the fights and hostilities that arose, disturbed me a little. It connoted something like Christian propaganda. I felt uncomfortable. That's why I made a note. Otherwise, it was a perfect series, ten out of ten for me. This introduction of Christianity and its sectarian concepts was not pleasant. I think they wanted to give missionary movements as well. They wanted to show its positive effects on the people there. They even specifically included the initiative of a noblewoman to serve the church as a nun. I didn't like these. But I said it might also reflect the events of the time. A time when feudalism dominated.
The actors, the Japanese actors, were very successful. The little man became a giant with Hiroyuki Sanada's play, the Shogun image was very good. It looks good. He played very well. I liked Anna Sawai very much. I think his role was superior to all of them and he nailed it. I really liked Asamo Tadanobu. He became a person with a personality and charisma. These players were very remarkable. Of course Cosmo Jarvis. He showed a good appearance in this series, but his acting is questionable. I watched him for the first time. I did not like. But it remained normal within this story and game.
I recommend everyone to watch it.
