This review may contain spoilers
Watching Love and Redemption drama chengyi成毅 Yi SiFeng is suffering in 59 episodes , and Cheng Yi depicted those feeling on his face. Unfortunately, Yian Bingyang can't do it. If you pay attention on her face in drama and not on subtitle, you see that
She is female lead but she can't act behind the innocent same as at begging of drama.
She can't make us feel her emotions after regarding her 6 senses.
Im all 59 episodes, Her face exactly same expression, stiff, motionlessness.
as she has hyaluronic filler in face.
Unlike Cheng Yi whose emotions are visible even when he doesn't speak at all.
For example :
After she Zhu Xuan Ji found at Si Feng fake wedding, her face is motionless, without any expression, without feelings, immovable.
Right and after that she is in forest,calm, she stands like she is picking flowers, forest, her face is like doll face, not having any expression.
Si Feng fake wedding is moment when she should be broken.
We should have seen that on her face .
After seeing SiFeng wedding, she should be broken in peaces, and main role actress can't depict any of this on her face.
No tears, no red eyes.
Then, when she was reunited with Si Feng in bed, when he hugged her and decided to be with he
She didn't make any feeling face .
Her face is again immovable. Motionlessness.
Actress yuan Bingyang cant express any of emotions and make us feel what character is feeling.
Is there any actress to be good as Cheng Yi in expressing feelings?
What do you think of this?

Historical person
Qi Yan was really emperor, of Tang dinasty. born in 814. He had a love story, with a singer dancer that he brought in palace. He did dies at 31 and his uncle, lord of Guang did inheritet his trone. Emperor Yan had 5 sons and all of term disapeard from history records. His love woman commited suicide when he died.in this drama i dont think that writer meant that emperor faked death. emperor said in next life will live ordinary life with her.
Although the TV series "Dream Awakening Chang'an" is adapted from Feihua's novella "Swordsmanship", the original novel only has 70,000 words and focuses on emotional description.
Screenwriter Shi Si Que spent six years adapting the novel and researching history, bringing it closer to history. Even the protagonist was changed. So, the adapted "Dream Awakening Chang'an" is completely different from the original, fairy-like martial arts novel "Swordsman"!

Acting
In this drama Cheng Yi has very difficult psychological roll and he is acting super good. His acting skills are perfect.Unfortunately his partner, girlfriend in this drama, has no acting skills. She is exaggerating everything she does, and she can't act. Her behave is amateur, I don't know who chooses her for main role.

Disappointed
I was very disappointed that script failed when grandmother saw how fast hands has Mi Lan, and just ignored so important observation to not say it to Yun Hong Shen! She spoke to him that evening , and didnt told him such important observation!Then another spoiler is, when grandmother, knowing how dangerous work is Yun doing, she started interrogation of Mi Lan on her own!!! That was so naive, and experienced lady as her, from rich family, wouldn't do that.
She would ask Mi Lan im front of someone and be prepared to expose a spy, and not as she did it!
Then, she exposed a japanese spy, and grandmother stayed home alone!!!!
Knowing that Mi Lan will realise she is exposed!
Grandmother could leave house, go somewhere, but she even send away her housekeeper!
Then spoler is , how such a rich house, doesnt have armed security!!!!
Especially when her son is killed and when her grandson was tried to be kill multiple times!
Also police was obligated to be in front of such a house all the time and olus to have prived armed security!
So Mi Lan just returned and killed her, like its nothing!
Those things doesn't make any sense im script.
Then , when Yun Hong Qi founded where
Zong Fang and Mi Lan are hiding, he just spoiled that precious info! He knew that he cant catch them but he enters in house anyway!
He, amateur, entering to catch two Japanese spies ! That scene doesn't makes any sense ! Thats absurd and then I stopped watching drama.
Just doesn't makes sense and not realistic.
Yun Hong Qi would know that he would die, so why would he even try to do such a suicidal mission?!?! Leads nowehere.
He survived only cos Mi Lan didn't want to kill him. Nonsensicall action.
