Kenny Lin back as support role????? Something is missing here.
It is an ensemble cast so him being support isn't unusual. Besides between Kenny and Wallace, WC is the better choice to play the Emperor as he's a versatile and experienced actor. We don't know how significant his role is to the entire drama so we will have to wait and see.
Drama is over. Grandma become empress. Badly written drama. Only good was second lead romance. Everything else…
Is this ZLY's burner account? You realise she has her own page where you can go praise her at right? No need for your ageist and sexist comments on this comment thread.
I have to agree with you here. William has dead eyes to me, it's like he doesn't emote well. Someone like Chen…
Agreed, it just felt so mechanic rather than an organic reaction to the other person in the scene. His eyes felt like the character had died episodes ago even in the first episode.
This may be a controversial opinion but I think a different ML could have offered a stronger performance. It's…
I have to agree with you here. William has dead eyes to me, it's like he doesn't emote well. Someone like Chen Kun or Hu Ge would've nailed it as their added nuances to their performances really brings stone cold characters to life.
The writing, flat dialogue and the cheap grandstanding really kept this drama from what it could've have been which is a shame because the cinematography and costumes were beautiful.
They changed his role in the drama..You would have hated him in novel..But happy they made all Jifeng Pavilion…
Yeap glad they changed from the novel. It felt nice knowing that Jifeng Pavillion members really stayed true to the end. They really helped the Empire stay in tact.
Agreed on the 'rushed' ending; at least my 3rd couple has a happy ending! Mainly watched for the 2nd and 3rd couples…
I have just started and I like the overall colour grading of the show which is typical of Iqiyi shows but im currently finishing off one other The Bond with Bai Yu so I will continue once I finish that. I am trying to put historical dramas on the back burner for now because the writing is lacking most of the time.
If there is one thing I've learnt in this drama is be like Shaozi. Do your job well, mind your business, don't get entangled in meaningless situations and you shall live to the very end.
So I gave in and watched the last episode and well, it ended. I can't say how great it was because it wasn't. Everything felt rushed and the director really needs to know how to not dim grand events because that last fight lacked the payout it was looking.
I guess the Grand Mentor is Shifu based on that convo she had with the cute Prince Weiyun.
It's been boring for a while now. It's just continuous loop of events. The dialogue is too flat for it to be truly memorable. The writing is not nuanced enough to have any emotional payout for me so I've dropped it. It happens, just pick up a new drama.
Every episode I miss Shaozi because that's all I care about at this point in the drama. And what clothes Haishi is wearing because the clothes are exquisitely made
