What do you mean by ships? Sorry I haven’t watched the trailer but China had some kind of a navy going back…
GPY is everywhere - running China's first private banking system in Shanxi, growing famous teas in Anhui, and now buying those ships as you say. Maybe the story is an allegory - I wonder how far this story will go haha.
I don't think he is. He just has stuff he needs closure on before he can settle down. Like figure out what happened…
Definitely deus ex machina moment for me. The whole Russian minic arc was a fun romp too. It’s like a side travel show, then boom, back to serious war stuff.
More than halfway now. This drama never lets up for a moment. Just when you think things will calm down, more stuff keeps coming at our GPY. Nice bookends with that Xu dude in Ningguta at half way point. And everything about the Li Cheng/Resistance storyline is just so compelling to me. Really appreciate how they are able to portray all the messy/gray aspects of such chaotic times. You have the corruption of the failing Qing Empire, but you also have the complicated, shadowy figures of the Rebellion (personified by the lady Su).
'Legend of Rosy Clouds' is now rumored to come out in Q2 of next year. I mean - if that. The way things have been…
We’ll see him soon in a few days at iQiyi scream night. Honestly, last year (2024) was even harder for Deng Wei fans lol. But I understand your sentiment. Hopefully we get more news soon about his dramas to air and of any upcoming projects. Usually just before the new year, iQiyi will give some updates on upcoming dramas to air in early 2026.
i see a cut scene drama julia xiang with zhu ya wen? it looks interesting
Yes, Legend of the Magnate. Even though it's "just" a guest role, I'd say it's her most compelling performance to date. She's well casted in this role and shines as Bai Yimei. Her chemistry on screen with Zhu Yawen is an unexpected surprise as well.
Such a lovely ending to the Bai Yimei/Li Cheng arc. The music really adds another dimension to their story. I wonder how this next tea arc will fare. Gu Pingyuan is heading to the Capital - and to the Li family's base of operations, so they'll have the advantage.
Ep 14 is very moving. While set in chaotic times during the Taiping Rebellion, to this day, this story in Anhui/Huizhou is still relevant today. There are those in the world still to this day that live in such times and circumstances. How sad and true that it is humans who kill and enslave their own kind.
