Ep17 won 'Best ML Performance Awards' for me. Chen Zhe Yuan’s ability to convincingly and awesomely embody both…
I’m so surprised by CZY’s acting in this drama! His range is truly impressive and not easy to pull off, in my opinion. Despite his gentle, almost feminine features, he completely convinces me that he’s a ruthless prince thanks to his deep voice and powerful acting.
Voice acting in Chinese dramas is no easy task. It requires strong vocal control, the right accent, and perfect timing which is why many actors rely on professional voice dubbing. But CZY uses his own voice and he does it so well! That’s a huge plus for his career.
He hasn’t done many historical dramas before, yet he’s doing an outstanding job here. I really hope he takes on more historical roles in the future because he clearly has the talent and presence for them.
I am honestly very upset with the show…all the villains are going above and beyond to make sure FSG doesnt become…
Many villains in this drama want FSG dead and it’s so logical! I really have to praise the writers for this. Why? Because every villain has their own reason, rooted in their past and circumstances.
Prime Minister Zhuang wants FSG dead because he wants the Emperor to experience the same pain he felt when he lost his own son. Initially, he had no interest in the throne at all, in fact, he disagreed when his son came up with that plan. But after his son died, revenge became his only goal.
MY is jealous of FSG due to the trauma he experienced as a child along with his father. He blames FSG for everything, though I’m not entirely sure if he truly wants FSG dead or not.
In the Jinxiu Kingdom, they don’t really care much about Susha right now. The person the Emperor of Jinxiu truly hates is XJS, his half-brother and he wants him dead, not FSG.
XJS, on the other hand, might want FSG dead but he’s already dealing with his own problems with the Emperor of Jinxiu. So let’s see how the story between FSG and XJS unfolds!
Wow, just wow!!! This is hands down the best Chinese drama I’ve seen this year! All 24 episodes were absolutely captivating—there wasn’t a single dull moment, and I’m so excited for episodes 25–26. Judging from the trailer, we’re in for more intense battle scenes and some beautiful romantic moments between the leads. I can’t wait! What I love most is that there are no “simple” characters here. Everyone has their own motivations, whether logical or not and the writer does an excellent job balancing each character’s story. Everything is so well done that it’s hard to choose what stands out most: the direction, costume design, acting, storytelling….everything is top-notch.
As for FSG, even though he doesn’t want the throne right now, I completely understand. His life has always been about clearing his mother’s name and surviving a corrupt palace that’s tried to kill him. Nothing has ever come easy for him, so his refusal makes sense for now. But as the story progresses, and more people fall in battle, I think he’ll realize that without him, the people of Susha won’t be able to live happily. When that time comes, he may change his mind and take the throne. And with FYX always by his side, supporting him through everything, he’ll become the best emperor, one who rules with his own will, not just following his father’s path.
Forget about the usual amnesia trope we’ve seen before, this drama feels so refreshing and bold, I absolutely love it!
FL may have lost her memory but her instincts remain sharp. She still fights fiercely and doesn’t trust anyone easily. It’s just her memories that are damaged not her skills.
ML, on the other hand, doesn’t take advantage of her amnesia and try to keep it a secret. He straight-up tells her who she is, that they’re enemies and even explains how someone as strong as her, capable of defeating foe almost died because someone from her own side tried to kill her. Then he casually suggests teaming up to uncover the truth since it benefits him too. LOL… FSG is definitely the boldest male lead ever!
For anyone hesitating to watch because of the amnesia plot, give this one a try! The amnesia is just a small part of the story and blends perfectly with the overall plot.
