Can someone tell me the title of the novel please, and if there is a translation?
have you found the novel? this is the movie version of "Noble Aspiration/Legend of Chusen" series... i'm sure you can find a link from the MDL page of the series. I remember a few people have posted it.
first time seeing her now in Handsome Siblings.. first ep and I'm already at awe with her acting..very powerful expressions... she's beautiful and fierce!
just finished ep1.. judging from the solid performance of the support (the yihua sisters and yan nantian) I believe this series is gonna be worth our time!
The emperor looks much younger here than in Nirvana in Fire... I hope he has a good exposure and dialogue here, just like in NIF... I loved his interaction with his brother and eunuch in NIF1.
from season 1, the levels are:-Basic-Perception-No-Doubt-See through-Knowing destinyand can someone explain what…
it was mentioned, that demon sect (or barbarians) have different levels and type of cultivation.. the highest for them is reaching the peak of martial arts, which he did through that fight with tang (technically, by dying through a magical blade).. so maybe it was the equivalent of Knowing Destiny.
True! I find the flow isnt as good as season1. The king talked so fast and the awkwardness of Ning Que interacting…
yes, the hugging and the arm greeting (don't know what to call that) really put me off... you can expect that with NQ and Chao Xiao Shu.. but never with the King,.. NQ still have respect to the King and he wouldn't breach protocol.
I'm just watching this season for scenes when the grandma screaming... lmao
lol, I thought she's already over acting in season one..who knows she can still outdo herself in this season. I wonder if this was really what Director Yang Yang's intention.
I've watched her since "the woman who wants to marry".. and who could forget the young talent who played young "Hwang Jin Yi", and Su Ji Ni of Legends.. I knew she has a long career ahead of her... but sadly, I haven't seen her new dramas as adult (young adult). My last of her is The Great Merchant (Kim Man Deok)... hopefully this new Money Game drama would re-ignite my admiration for her talent.
Don't rush it, people.. it's a huge change from season1..so we need to adjust our expectations on the new faces, maybe as if it's our first time to watch this drama. Right now, it's awkward and we can't seem to connect with the characters (with new faces).. but let's give them a chance to grow on us..at least for the sake of this beautiful masterpiece, that we have patiently and eagerly waited to continue.
what I like about this drama is the balance between the power struggles (serious ) and the character relationships (light)... the emotional focus on the relationships of the brothers and emperor kinda reminds of the characters in NIF1 and Rise of Phoenixes. It shows as the human side of the royals, they have their greed and ambition, but also worries and affections, the desire to be acknowledged and be loved.
And of course, who can resist the sparks in the bickering of the main leads! :-)
