Good, I hope so too, I really want to see him playing the good guy here.

He might become the enemy of the Wei but he could also take the path to protect the Wei if he knows his mother was taken by force and died of grief. For once I'd like him to play the good guy, let's see how it plays out.

Yes I have watched the dramas you listed, and I enjoyed them all. However, they are very much of the minority. Hope the industry, as I mentioned earlier, are more prone to develop screenplays free of classi trope that have dominated our screens for so long.

indeed, unlike the classic trope of misunderstandings, doubts, near tragedies that we have seen just too many times in Chinese dramas. Hopefully the overwhelming acceptance of this new tend by the public serves as encouragement to screenwriters and directors to put behind classic trope and venture into new themes.

No offense at all. You made an assumption, that's all. We are all here to exchange views and comments, it is a comfort zone for Chinese dramas fans. Have a great Sunday.

yes you are right. I jumped to the conclusion as the maids did. I thought it was Wei Shao because he faked coughing to stop his mother from talking about how fond she was with Su E Huang, as if he didn't want the female lead to know.

Well since the actress said so herself, then it must be as she said.

Actually I speak and write Chinese so I wasn't misled by any translations. Anyhow, to make sure, I played episode 13 again, it turns out that what is said is that there had been talk of marriage of her with the Wei family but it didn't say with whom, I thought it was with Wei Shao because he looked embarrassed and interrupted his mother when she started talking about how fond she used to be of Su E Huang in front of everyone. I guess I jumped to the conclusion.

Relationship chart in the drama?
in episode 13 , it is said that she is the ex of the male lead.

OMG, so the cousin is evil, plus along comes the male lead's ex girl friend as if troubles weren't enough, I don't think I can handle well plots after plots to cause rifts between the leads, I am really inclined to go back to the drama when the dust settles and to enjoy the bad guys being called out.

😘😘

he is very expressive and immersed in roles he plays. A great actor who never disappoints.

I have a link to the story in original language, might venture in to find out more, but the fact that the drama is a modified version puts me off for now and also I always find it more entertaining to read the novels after the dramas finishes its airing, because it is great to put faces on the characters in the book and knowing the story first then watch the drama make the viewing less captivating.
Guess the weibo registration is a kind of "lucky strike", one may just get lucky and others not.

👍👍, good expectations

indeed, this cousin looks every bit of trouble with a hidden agenda like the second prince in the beginning of Joy of life.My goodness, is he going to called in to play the devil for the great of his career....???

I am in Itlay and I tried several times before with my cell phone number, the system accepted my phone number but the verification process never came through, the same problem in my pc too.Damn it, but since you made in it with a foreign phone number, I'll make attempts to try again another time. Thanks.

Btw, I haven't made out the purpose of his role in this drama yet, is he going to play the bad guy agains the ml? I'd hope not, since he is apparently very fond of the grandmother hence tied to the family.

it is a measure to keep her own "country" safe because of the location.

he is a very good actor, he killed his role in Joy of Life and Princess Rebel. I wish I could have a weibo account but it seems that weibo is only accessible with a local phone account in China.

Just came back here to say that I thought Joy of Life had ruined me for good in the sense that I hadn't felt so invested in any other drama since then as I had been in this franchise. But hey, I find myself thinking about the story, the dialogues, the acting of the cast of The prisoner of Beauty everyday and checking the time for the next episode to air, I even bought the express package, which is so against my principle (consider VIP subscription should cover all and that streaming platforms are out there for blood with them putting out express packages on every drama). Since you tube bloggers are saying this drama, though originated from a book, has undergone substantial modifications (elements of second life in the book) and the book was much richer in content, I actually would love a second season of the drama if the quality keeps up as it moves on. Anyway, I am loving this drama,it is not as big a big scale as joy of life, but in its own rights, it is very deserving. The production, directing, editing (a crucial step that make some dramas disappointing), the screenplay, the dialogues, the acting, the costumes, visuals, screenshootsnaee all so on point. So glad the drama came off the shelves and got to air.

indeed, the pacing paths the way to their getting together believable.
