Rapport

First of all, I must say that I enjoyed watching it very much. It was one of the rare good TV series I've watched recently. It was amazing. No. But the harmony between the actors was the first thing that attracted me. Zhao Li Ying and Ling Geng Xin were a very harmonious couple. We already knew this from the TV series Princess Agents. Their harmony was very good in this series too. Zhao Li Ying was also the producer of the series, so it seems that she added a lot to the series, so she even broke the rules. She got married and had a child. Left. I also think that if she had not left, she would not have played so easily.
There have been mistakes, they have neglected some things by calling it a fantastic series, but it is not worth writing about it here and affecting the beauty of the series. Overall it was a pretty good series. There are fantasy, drama, romantic and also action scenes. I even found it emotional in the last episodes. I had tears in my eyes while watching it. They tried to fit a lot into the last episodes and ended it as if there was going to be a second season.
Not just the lead actors. I also really liked the supporting roles. So CAST was perfect. The actors were very good. Especially Xin Yun Lai, He Yu, Zeng Li, Wang Yi Yao, Xuan Lu, Xu Hai Qiao were the actors that caught my attention, both with their images and acting. I also liked the little actors who portrayed the childhood of the leads. So the group of players was very good. This distinction does not mean that I do not like other players as well. However, I kept them separate, and I liked the image work done on them. Management was fine. The shots and scenes are beautifully arranged, so are the action scenes and editing. I think meticulous work has been done and care has been taken. I don't want to touch on the story because it's fantastic. Because I don't believe in polytheism. It's something I'm against. Actually, I am against telling these things like this, even if they are fantastic, but we are watching it as a spectacle. As per my belief, I believe in the existence and unity of the Almighty Creator. There is no God other than Him.

So much praise, so little reality

It was a good series. Management was very good. In terms of production, it was very good. Apart from the praise for Korea and if you don't worry about whether the historical facts are true or false, I can say that it is a series that is beyond extraordinary. I am one of those who do not think that it corresponds exactly with historical events. It already warns you when the series starts. Because it is not the same as historical facts. This broke my heart. The second is clothes. I don't think Korea wore those warrior clothes at that time. It is likened to Roman or Greek warriors. Where are the clothes, armor, vehicles, this and that? A poor country, a tribute-paying country. It is a dependent country. A country where most of its people were sent as slaves to other countries. It's a bit ridiculous to show these things in this reality, but I thought like this. It was a study on how to glorify Goryeo if we refer to that period by producing a 20th century perspective and strategy, and it was very successful. Whether it's war tactics, clothes, or perspective on events, they don't reflect that era. It reflects the view from here, today. I see it as a study of what it would be like if we did it that way then.
In this series, an illegitimate child is expelled from royalty, confined to a monastery, and becomes king after being pushed by someone after the sudden death of his brother, and the events that occur as a result. On the one hand, he may be a judge in a village, or he may be an administrator equivalent to a village or town administrator or a district governor. It is about his rise to the Commander-in-Chief of Goryeon with the new emperor as a result of the events that took place while he was the person responsible for everything in the village and town. In short, it is about what such a duo did for Goryeo and their victory in the last war with the Khitan.
However, considering the angle of presentation, there is too much praise for Goryeo. It shows that this is a bit imaginary. Even though it is imaginary, it is a well-constructed production and beautifully reflected to the audience. I like it a lot.
Won in the last war. The Khitans were portrayed so badly. Out of 100 thousand people, there seem to be only three or five lame people left. In other words, it is one of his efforts to belittle the enemy out of spite. Of course, they suffered so much. By reflecting this in this way, the scriptwriter and director touched the hearts of Koreans and took another kind of revenge. On top of that, they recognized Goryeo, recognized the king, and signed a non-aggression agreement. Their benefits were also cut. Thereupon, neighboring principalities, tribes, and especially the Jurchens, everyone rushed to celebrate Goryeo. They became friends and started giving benefits. So Goryeo moved from giving to receiving benefits. Beautiful snaps.
After winning the war, two olive branches are now golden. I don't know if they are made of tin, it was very funny that the king put these on Gam Chan. It's obvious he's a Roman wannabe. In fact, my clothing was like a quote from ROMAN movies.
The actors were fine. We need to start with Choi Soo Jong. He was the gripping character and best actor of the series. His experience is enough. I've also watched Kim Dong Jun. in a few dramas before. It was more noticeable here. He played very well. I like it a lot. Well done. He also acted as a bald head. It's not for everyone. Ji Seun Hyun left the drama early. His image was the best player. It was very successful. Likewise, Lee Won Jon only had a few episodes but that was enough. A good actor reveals himself everywhere, even in two minutes. Kim Tae Han also destroyed the drama with his image. Khita's Commander-in-Chief portrayed an extremely good image and played very well. It suits her. I like it a lot. Our Aunt Yoo Bok In. So Gam. Chan's wife. It was remarkable. It's one of those that looks good, even if it looks small. The husband and wife bickering was one of my favorite episodes. Congratulations to all the players. I was able to write down the most prominent ones. I'm sorry.
In other words, our series was an extraordinary good series, with its pros and cons. Congratulations to the director. I congratulate the screenwriter twice for making his dreams seem real. Do not get it wrong. I don't know the exact truth of the events. Because I'm not a historian. As far as we follow, I am commenting on the small research we have done on our own, based on our own knowledge. I'm giving my guesses. In my opinion, the events are far from being authentic, but it is a well-reflected production to the audience, except for the praise. I recommend everyone to watch it.

Fan Xian, what the hell are you?

It was a series that was completely gripping, intriguing, active, exciting, and had high emotional intensity and stress. There was love and there was love. Separations too. Friendship, camaraderie, ambition, grudge, hatred, fight, war, intrigue, espionage activities, groupings, desires for advancement, fights for the throne, they were all there. There was also a humorous narration. Zhang Ruo Yun is an actor who is very prone to comedy. He is an actor who can perform casualness, humorous approaches and lively expressions very well. This role suits him very well. That's why Tian Yu and Guo Qi Lin, with whom he was in a relationship, accompanied his joke beautifully. We can even add Liu Duan Duan. There were plenty of humorous jokes in the series. Even though he tried to frame her in the end and we learned that he was actually the one behind trying to kill her, the relationship level was humorous. Same with Xin Zi Lei. We can also count Cui Zi Gang and Jia Jing Hui. These always seemed to me to be related in a fun, humorous way. That's why I never got bored while watching it. In fact, it ended very badly. It was an intriguing ending to the next season. I'm looking forward to the second season. I expected Yan Bing Yun to do something like this. Because the more open Fan Xian was to him, the more closed he remained. He didn't even openly claim the woman he was in a relationship with, he was dying for her. He didn't mind. Even though he knew the Spy Names, he did not give them. He constantly evaded every question. Just as he did not trust himself, he did not trust the other person either. I was guessing that he was not on the road, but when they arrived at the relevant office, he would do a trick, make speeches against Fan Xian, give information, and say things against him. But he dealt the fatal blow. He found an excuse for himself by saying he was doing this for Qing. It's as if others are doing it for another state. This means that this person was also one of the 2nd Prince's men. He was working for that group. Let's see what will happen in the second season. I am waiting. I liked the first season very much. I would recommend it to everyone.

Everything was a lie.

Overall, it was a good series. Especially a friendship series. It contained loyalty, self-sacrifice, friendship, heroism, divinity, unity and solidarity, human emotions, demonic emotions, a little bit of love, and sensuality. The death scenes were especially sad. The series we watched is a fantastic series, but it was not possible to shake the story just because it was fantastic. Some places were too extreme. A fantastic hero who intervenes in everything turns into a helpless hero a little later. You are surprised. Everyone is stronger than each other. Some things never fell into place, for example, let me give an example from the last scenes. Wu Ji's brother Wu Shuang could not walk, he was imprisoned in a room without being able to show any existence, he could not even move. Only his brother was the helper. However, when they see the Mountain God and they don't have a wish, he suddenly gets up, casts a spell, attacks and kills the mountain god, so this was an attraction that went beyond fantasy and would not make the viewer suffer or be patient. He goes even further, that helpless man replaces his brother. Beyond fantastic. In my opinion, there were these and similar faulty events. I did not like. These cast a shadow over the series.
I liked the actors, I watched them with pleasure. However, Jian Long's over-expression, exaggeration and reactive play disturbed me. He has a big face, so when he smiles, he smiles a lot. When he gets sad, he gets very sad. He opens his eyes too wide. He acts very overreactively. It looks like a waste. But is he playing? At first I found it very strange, but then I got used to it. Zhang Ling He's role is kept a little low. It's like it's called "scalping". That's how I saw it. Although Wang Yu Wen is still, that is, this role is not suitable for him, his face is not a hero's face at all. No matter what an innocent face does, it doesn't work. But he played very well. Well done. I especially liked He Lan Dou, who played the role of Yi Mei. He coped with this role with that facial expression and those movements, I liked him. Other supporting roles were very successful. It ended as if it was going to be a second season. It seems that way depending on the ending, but would I watch it again? No.

24 chapters for justice

Overall, it was a series that I liked very much. I watched it with pleasure. Of course, there were some parts where I got angry and emotional, and there were places where I said "Is this possible? It shouldn't happen." In places that I liked very much and said yes, now it is. It was good as a story. While writing the script, of course, mistakes were made, simplifications were made, there were places that were left dragging on, and there were places that needed to be resolved by prolonging and only being completed in the end. For example, if it was that easy to decide, why wasn't it made by others? I think Imperial edicts had some influence. Since the imperial edicts were given. Why was Wu Lian.a Embroidery Directorate approved? This is a contradiction, fortunately, the Judge said that the Emperor gave me the authority and sent the criminal to prison and sentenced him to death. So, if there were no imperial edicts, this judgment would not have been reached. While the incident is very clear, if one of his assistants had been caught, investigated, including torture, and made to confess to these crimes, the incident could have been resolved from the very beginning. Supposedly, a contract was made for all servants and employees, I don't know what would happen if the contract was violated. They would probably be killed. If a person dies at a person's workplace, an investigation is conducted. Criminals are punished. Nothing happens to the man. He says he came to steal, we shot him and then he died. How simply put. The judiciary cannot do anything. But ultimately he did.
For example, the wife he married was disreputable. Because her virginity was broken when they got married. You know this, get divorced. No. I need his noble lineage. He discredits the woman the very night she gets married. He does not give a face and does not even look at her during the time they are married. How can such a woman live with this man and not speak out? He doesn't care about events. There is no intervention even from outside. On the contrary, she works on behalf of her criminal husband. Amazed. There cannot be such a character. I couldn't like this character. The man who talks about his wife's disrepute discredits many women working in his workshop. Didn't the man who carried out this reputation assassination report himself somewhere? He also threatens his wife. He threatens his mother-in-law. For example, Miss Ning, who protects him, is a noble woman. He has acquaintances from the Empire. He protects the man knowing what he did. Then she gives up. When Meng Wan says he will take revenge, he again supports Wu Lian. How ridiculous. In fact, he continues this claim until the last episode and asks himself whether it is true or not. However, he relaxes after the Imperial edict. He could only understand this when Meng Wan complained about the person with the petition he attached to the back of the embroidery sent to the Empress and the Imperial edicts were published accordingly. I couldn't understand these. Wrong, incomplete, I found it. These could have been explained in other ways. Because in the conclusion, judgment, justice and good things were mentioned, but they committed injustices in the wrong way until the end. So, in my opinion, the scriptwriter's prediction was wrong. There were too many disagreements. There may be mistakes and mistakes in the plot, but a good lesson was learned from a good story. In the end, justice was served, albeit incompletely.
The actors were nice. They played well. I liked them all. Janice Wu showed a monotonous performance, but she never changed her face, she played with the same face for 24 episodes. He looked older than his age. But he suits this role. Especially Hu Yi Xuan was very successful. She portrayed the character of Ru Lan, who was treated unfairly, beautifully. I like it. It gives beautiful pictures. Li Jia Hang and Qiao Zhen Yu. are also successful performers. Tang Jing Mei was particularly successful. She added a role to her role and played it. I like it a lot. The veteran players were also very good. The cast was solid. The characters were portrayed beautifully. I can recommend it to those who haven't watched it. I had my criticisms, but when you look at it in general, you watched a good series. It's a good watch if you don't worry too much about mistakes and things you don't want to happen.

I didn't like the ending

I liked the series overall. However, there were many mistakes. There were childish things. Mistakes that I said would not be made were made. Mistakes were made. Why did the screenwriter think of writing this, how did the director shoot this? I put a lot of effort into this in some places. I looked for the reason and couldn't find it. It seemed illogical. There were so many that I wish I could write them down. My comment will be very long and will not fit into the pages. I had set my grade as 9 from the beginning. However, I made a note. I gave it 8. In that anger, I thought of giving it a 6. There were mistakes that shouldn't have happened that depressed me so much that I even stopped watching. I didn't like the ending scenes either. It could have ended better and more positively. An emperor who was so ungrateful, unworthy of the throne, and shot everyone behind his back should at least have been sent away. Those who supported him in his shadow had to flee. Such an ending did not suit the finale. What I liked. I liked the actors. I liked the shot. The images were beautiful. The scenes were shot well. The story was well thought out, but great mistakes, irresponsibility and simplicity were made while scripting it. I do not like. But still, for the sake of integrity, it was a good watch for me.
I liked the acting of the master actor Peter Ho. the most. He added to his role. He played well. Even a reward may be given. Some may find it simple. He showed such an acting. I liked it very much. He was the real lead of the series. Zeng Li. I love him very much. It seemed very little to me, but even in that little view he proved his mastery. Was very good. Dylan Wang looks older than he is. It looks like that. He has very smooth facial features and knows how to make himself look great, proud and arrogant. Maybe I expected better from Chen Yu qi, one of my favorite actors, but he was still good in my opinion. No bad. It may have fallen below expectations. I loved. I wish it were better.Guan Chang. was very good. He knows how to show himself off. He assimilated his role and played it well. Veteran actor Shi Yu, for example, did that eunuch role very well. He successfully portrayed the scenes of the emperor's death as a result of his manipulation of the emperor, regretting his mistakes, and eventually deviating from the emperor's personality due to his mistakes. I like those who add role to their role. That's how I saw it. That's why I liked it. These actors are the ones who enlarge their simple roles. I also liked Wang Yu Xin. He Nan.da was exceptionally good at the beginning of the drama. Then his role ended and he disappeared. So the players were good. Would I watch it again? Very difficult. I was a little angry at the mistakes and simplicity made. I probably won't watch it. Have a nice time.

Overall, it was a very good series. I watched it with interest. But there were many mistakes, many lies and mistakes. There were so many contrasts with each other that the fantasy series was made as if everything was okay. A lot of lies and wrong things were included, some things were made as if they were forgotten, and when they were repeated, we asked why this was repeated. Imbalances between the powers were great. The gods remained lower than some immortals. They became their pawns. They lost to them and everything. Then why did you say God? I mean that the given features are not suitable. In one place, you see a person who knows everything, and in another, he is unaware. He doesn't know anything. His wisdom has been reset. Or he becomes weak while being strong. You wonder what to do while watching. However, I evaluated it as a whole. If I looked at these I would give 5-6 points. Since I didn't watch it, it became a 9-10 series for me. I felt the emotion. I felt the love thing. I felt revenge. I felt the lie. I felt the subterfuge. I felt the plot, the trap, the disloyalty, the unscrupulousness, the helplessness, the loneliness, the powerful, the powerless. I liked the actors very much. Yang Zi in particular was very successful. I love him very much. I like your game. I'm watching your series. I haven't come across any bad TV series. He has a talent, acting, light and aura that takes it all by itself. I hope to watch the next series as well. Deng Lun, Yuo Lun Xi, Chen Yu Ki were my favorites. The matches were good. I didn't like the Liu Ying and Mu Ci pairing. I found Chen Yu Qi to be very successful, but he had no matches with Zou Ting Wei. The female actor was more dominant and more successful. The actor was arrested. Either they did not agree on the game, or it was played as if the female player had the upper hand and said "follow me" or something. That woman was very, very good. I like it a lot. The other actors are also beautifully reflected in their characters, if I were to write them down, it would take up a lot of space. Like Dan Zhu, King GuCheng, Lao Hu, Lord pu chi. The examples are given very well. I like. I liked them all. I sampled. I liked how the story was thought out. As I said, there are many mistakes in the script while filming. Or things that were not taken into account, but I felt like I was in it while watching it. I got carried away. That's how I watched. I like. I would recommend it to everyone.

treasure hunters

Overall I liked the series. I also suited Zhou Li Ying.i for the role. But I didn't find it suitable. The reason is; Being weak and petite, knocking down anyone in front of him. Fighting for hours, fighting not one but many. However, even if he fights with a person with his physique, he becomes smoke. He's already tired. He can't even lift the sword. But it's a series after all. Fantastic. Fitting things. If I fit the role, he worked and made up the outfit he wore. His stance, his gaze, and even a few movements suit him. He matched well with Wang Yi Bo, who is much younger than himself. So they're numb. If there is Li Ying.in's effort in this, I don't know. Yi Bo.'s look older than his age, his weight when necessary, his smile and pleasantness when necessary also helped. With its physical structure, Yİ BO got full marks from me. It was pretty good. Zhang Hui Wen, especially Chen Ruo Xuan, Zhou Jie Qiong with his funnyness, Zhang Xin Yu were the actors who brought me the drama that I liked. Of course, Veteran players were also very successful. In other words, there was a group of players close to perfect as CAST. I like it. Only the exaggerations, logical errors and mistakes in the story lowered my grade for the series. I don't like the things that the screenwriters did and happened. I want it to pass through a little logic so that its feasibility can be reviewed. Let's get some thought and worry. They mostly rocked. It's a fantastic series. That's why I say. But as I said overall, it was a very good series. I even compared the final treasure search scenes to the US movie TREASURE HUNCHERS. I had a good time. I recommend it to anyone who wants to watch.

Despite such a beautiful story, I did not find it successful due to its interrupted narration. I think it was cut short, but it didn't quite convey what was meant to be told. Despite all their good intentions and efforts, the actors seem to have failed to deliver what they wanted. It says fighting world, but we were able to watch one fight scene. He was half. Everything was half. So are transitions. I couldn't taste it. I don't understand. I wish the story had been kept longer. I wish it was a longer feature film. If more experienced players played. If only it could be diversified with a larger group of players. I wish there were more fight scenes. How nice would that be. But it didn't suit me.

A super series. I really like. The actors were also very good. Especially Fang Bingbing has put on a great game. Jealousy and rivalry are well given. Also, the director of the series and the production were terrific. A lot of effort has been put in. Whether it's the clothes, the environment, the historical figures, it is very well thought and made. Careful for everything. Congratulations.
In addition, the behavior of the concubines, the positive and negative relations between the queen and mother queen figures, the hierarchical order, the relations with the princes, that is, the discipline of children and the relations of subordinates, are reflected very strikingly in the order in the harem.

It turns out it was a dream

I liked the series in general. However, as in every series, a frenzy of nonsense took over in the last episodes. Chinese scriptwriters can't finish the series they start well in a beautiful, flawless, error-free, logical way. Constant mistakes, wrong things, the guy being a jerk, so what, I did it, it happened. They act like this. They think that it is watched anyway. Or there are many series. Which one should we do properly? All of them are ridiculous. They may think like this. I won't go into all of them, but Bei Yue's mother, who was later found to be a mother, did everything she could. Such a disgrace was watched by everyone. Similarly, the minister in Nanzaho. He did everything he could with full confidence. If the king of Nanzaho threw a knife at a man, he would kill him, they watched. You are the king, brother. All the men are yours. He took you there like a puppet. Then he plays with the ball in his hand. Hit one of you, bring him down. So is this logical? Nobody touches him. The man is making a horse play. They don't agree. I mean, they don't approve of what this guy does, but they watch. The others, the Prince and Princess on the other side, are also struggling with all their being. You'll say, are you stuck here? It's already fantastic. Look, they're dead. They went to the other world. They got the codes from their mother. They came back. They defeated the Minister of Nanzhao. For example, why aren't you stuck on this? I mean, which one should I catch up with? Our scriptwriter is crazy. Come on, add some reality to these series, or fly away when they start so that we don't watch them. They start right. They end wrong. They progress wrong.
I gave the series a 7.5 grade. Actually, I was going to give it a 6, but I gave it to the acting and effort again. I liked the cast. Zhu Xu Dan carried the series. It was good. He also acted well in the action scenes. He did well. Well done. Zhang Han's experience was enough, he mastered his role with his charisma. Yao Chi was very striking. I liked it very much. This role suits him. Hai Ling left halfway through. But he was successful. I don't know if Ryan Ren always plays like this, but I thought he was a little sloppy. It must be due to his role. But he grinned a little. Hao Xiang, Sun Yi, Li Yu Xuan, Luo Shi Qi, Ai Ran, the prince who plays Fei Yan's brother, I couldn't find his name on the list. These were the actors that caught my attention. I liked the acting, direction, costumes. I didn't like the script. I didn't like the writer. Would I watch it again? NO, Would I recommend it? NO. You did a bad thing to the beautiful series, scriptwriter. It could have been much better. A little attention, a little care, a little reality, at least possibility. If you want, check if what I wrote makes sense. Then make it a script. Let me recommend it.

Fan Xian is a Prince

The second season felt like it ended too quickly. I can say that it was lower than the first season. The events have been simplified a little and many unknowns have been made known. Great masters are brought in one by one. I think the future in the North will come in the third season. There will be a Fan Xian who can challenge every master. The episodes were full of humor. It was alive. That's why I love this series. Additionally, it had many intriguing features. It was full of mystery. However, I looked for the excitement of the first season. I couldn't find it this season. The most important feature was that, as we predicted, Fan Xian was the King's son. It was his marriage to Wan Er. However, Wan Er appeared in very few episodes. In the episodes he received, he learned that Fan Si Ze was the one who killed his brother and declared his hostility towards him. I could not understand the feeling of revenge of a character who did not object to his brother killing Fan Xian and could not convince his brother about this. If he didn't, his brother would kill Fan Xian. Does this mean that Wan Er loves her brother more and wants him to kill Fan Xian? This understanding of hostility is similar to this. So it didn't work for me. It's the scriptwriter's mistake. He had to find a more suitable excuse or something else to organize it. I do not agree. I didn't like it either.
The king is strange, we are used to his tricks. Also about things related to his sons. The strangeness continued in this episode. However, the queen was also a very strange person, she did such things that were unforgivable, but the strange King forgave her too. In other words, these were some strange oddities of unknown origin. These things don't suit the series. If the king was consistent, he should have at least taken away the Queenship. It's simplistic. It didn't happen.
I can say that this season was mostly about Cheng Ze's plans against Fan Xian and his responses to him. So this season has been focused on this. He restricted himself. In the last moments, they tried to make the conspiracy theories even bigger by including the Princess, but this turned into an attitude that made the series shallow and unable to break out of its mould. More precisely, I would like to see new things while watching. Let there be more popular things. Let there be other faces. Conspiracies should not be limited to princes. Let's open up a bit. Let it be diversified. The ability to cope with difficulties should be increased. In other words, Fan Playing. The incident has been made like this. I hope we will watch different variations in the third season.
Even though I criticized it, I must say that I enjoyed watching the series. As I said, it was a purely serious series, not a series with conspiracy theories. It was funny. Zhang Ruo Yun is a funny actor. It suits comedy. Tian Yu supported him well. When they do this, they approach events accordingly and bring liveliness and excitement to the scenes. I love this. I watched it without getting bored. I would recommend it to everyone.

the crybaby official

The series started well. It tells the story of the events that happen to the two daughters of a Minister whose name is involved in corruption, in order to prove their father's innocence. It started as such a story. Afterwards, the story turned mysterious and turned into a conspiracy high up in the palace. A number of events took place to reach the conspirators. While this was happening, the Minister's two daughters also established relationships with the leaders of the palace's investigation teams. These relationships turned into love. Now they started to act together. It was a very nice flowing story. It was also decorated with various events. Its mysteriousness lasted until the last two episodes. Also, the action scenes were good. In my opinion, these were well-done and meticulous scenes. We felt the drama as well as a little bit of the love. However, in my opinion, too many coincidences and simplicities in the flow of events overshadowed the beauty of the story. It took some events away from authenticity. The dreams, fires, I know, I don't know scenes piled up in the last chapters were not compatible with the story at all. He diluted it. In my opinion, it spoiled the beautiful series. I was thinking of giving it 9 out of 10, but unfortunately I lowered my rating to 8 due to these negativities. For example, the people they established relationships with and saved from negative events in a border town. After them, they suddenly came to the Capital and took part in the games there. What was the reason? Was this necessary? It is debatable. While watching, I felt as if they were going to help the bad people who were caught. I said what does it matter? One turned out to be a doctor. It was like a concubine. She was a girl who was sold on this. The doctor came out. Others came to help as a team. All the way from there. They joined the game. So credibility is lost. Simplicity has been avoided.
Judging by the players, they were good. With his experience, Jeremy Tsui is already a sought-after name in such TV series. It was fine. I watched Ouyang Nana for the first time. She is a Taiwanese actress. Let me say it wasn't bad. It had to be better. His face looks very swollen. He needs to take good care of himself. He is an actor who is very prone to obesity. I say he should improve himself. Xia Nan, on the other hand, is a name I know for her evil female roles. She is an actress who portrays the villain, that is, the person opposite the leading character, in the best way and whose face is more suitable for evil. By the way, his face is completely white. Her skin is beautiful. But he is not an actor of good roles. Although here she plays a despotic sister. It suits the role. The smiling and snippy style of play is not his style of play. It suits being serious. I like. I also liked Sun Jian. Our supporting roles were also very good. Experienced players were very good. I also liked our director and the production. Well done to those who contributed.

The Rise of the Pearl Diver

The series started off well. It was really appealing. It was the same in terms of plot. It was the same in terms of actors. However, after certain episodes, especially after the ship landed and fell into the desert, there was a decline in the script. The series drifted back and forth. Afterwards, I was not happy with the scriptwriter or writer resorting to simplistic things that would overshadow the credibility of this beautiful series. I objected to this. The idea is good, the plot is good. The story of the rise of a slave Pearl Diver woman. Similarly, the story of a member of the Yan family clearing himself and his family against the injustice done to his family. The intersecting paths of these two, the events that developed in parallel. The revenges taken, the fight against injustice and unfairness. There was friendship, brotherhood, a little romance, and a little sentimentality. The actors were good. Only the scriptwriter was not good. He reduced this beautiful series to simple in my opinion. He was a waste of this group of actors. I reduced the series, which I was going to give 10, to 7.5. Especially our leads Zhao Lu Si and Liu Yu Ning were very good. They were in harmony. They also performed very well. I liked it. Tang Xiao Tian surpassed himself. He was very successful. He suited the role. I liked it. But the one who played the most striking role was Chloe Xie. She was extremely good. She stood out. I liked it very much. I think she will play the leading role now. Similarly, Shan Wan Qing showed herself. She also proved that she deserves better roles. What surprised me was Yu Yong Hai. His image was very good. He played his lame self as if he was really lame. It was perfect. I had watched a few more of his dramas. I think he surpassed himself in this drama. Well done. The child actor was very good. He left the drama early. All the actors were very good. I did some auditions, I drew attention, but the acting was extremely good. The direction was good. The shooting was good. The only thing I wish the writer or the scriptwriter had not resorted to some simplicity. If they had added a little more credibility to the stories, it would have been better. However, if we evaluate this as the writer's dream, we will not criticize it any further. That's how I evaluated it. Because in the darkness of the Middle Ages, it is impossible to even imagine a woman being thought of in this way. They even went so far as to establish a women's solidarity association. So I said no. Of course, I support our author's dream. And his understanding of justice and equality. But these were things beyond impossible at that time. That's why, in my opinion, its credibility could not go beyond a dream. The series also ended uncertainly. I was not very happy with the ending either. My grade is 7.5 out of 10.

A series that gives the feeling of watching an old series

The series started well. It attracted me. I watched 10 episodes. Then I started to get bored. It gave me the impression that they gave a new presentation to an old series. Because I saw Liu Xue Yi young. I saw her a little stiff. I said I am watching the 2025 series but what happened to this one. It looked very slow. On the contrary, the female actress was very lively. It seemed like there was a mismatch. But what impressed me the most was that it was like a presentation of an old series with a new date. Ao Rui Peng seemed like he had just started acting. Even he was very young and at the beginning of his career. Of course, I am not Chinese. I do not follow from there. I am far from the events. We watch whatever is shown to us. I am only a close follower of Chinese Dramas. I watch it with pleasure. That's all. But especially the names are effective in the series we watch. I started watching the series because Liu Xue Yi and Ao Rui Peng were there. I thought such a series would be great with these actors. However, I was disappointed. Although the actors adapted to their jobs, the plot got heavier and more meaningless. Acting was not enough. Romance started, progressed, went well. As I said, it stopped after the 10th episode. There was no progress. It was like a series going back and forth. They became a fairy, an immortal, a demon, a mortal, and I got confused while watching. There was a coldness in a series that already gave the impression of being old. As a result, I couldn't stand it and stopped watching after 22 episodes.
