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.

Great pacing, no nonsense of prolong misunderstandings dragging us on episode after episode. I truly like the screenplay so far.

he is so perfect for this role.

indeed, and the ml was thinking she didn't know his size for shoes, exactly what she accused the FL of when she made him a pair of shoes so fitting to his size, ha ha

Some you tube bloggers keep bringing up some anti Liu Yiu Ling's look comments. I personally think he is one handsome actor with great poise and very natural acting skills.His performance is no less than the big names that have been in the show business for ages. The fact that he can sing is a big plus. I didn't know him till The long ballad was aired, since then I have always enjoyed his work and hope that he will not end up dying in the end. I am totally enjoying this drama, the story is refreshing, and a strong female lead is my thing, the visuals, costumes, dialogues are so on point. Must give a shout out to the production and directing of the drama.

I started watching again this drama from the beginning and am loving it. The scene of the grandfather speaking with the female lead (practically their last meet) was simply beautiful, the looks on their faces, what they said to each other, the close up shots showing their feelings and love, the background music are so so touching. This is quality perfomance directed by great professionals.

He saw three of his period dramas, he died in all of them, so yes I am traumatized...

I do hope so, can't stand seeing him die in the end anymore..

love the atmosphere in various scenes and the dialogues, oh and the tension in the battle!Thought the directors did great work so I went to check out the the names, they indeed have directed some fantastic dramas!!

just started watching, the story is refreshing, cast are great, hope it will glue me to the couch, unlike other period dramas aired lately that I eventually dropped.

oh, that is nasty...

Oh dear, is it only me who can't tell who is who among the ministers serving in the court? Who is the elderly who dressed as a minister or sort that controls the blind witch? Doesn't he look like one of the relatives of the king?
