on ep 8. it's amazing how little chemistry there is between the leads. their chemistry is so nonexistent it's like they are siblings at most. i dont know why they have this problem but i have noticed that zhao lusi isnt good at roles that arent fun girls.
anyway, the story is a mess, i just watched so long because the male lead is gorgeous, but i'm dropping right now.
the greatest thing about this drama is the family dynamics, and that is only good because there are some amazing actors in this show. The second uncle, the aunt, they are all great. But the grandpa, man... the grandpa was amazing. Oscar level. He was s good that I'm pissed we didn't have more scenes between him and the main character.
All in all, good drama but could be better if the family dynamics were better written and explored because the charm of the story was all in that. When it wasn't the focus anymore the story got stale. Mid part it was gone that thrilling sense of watching OG business leaders molding the future, but this could be because the drama wanted to show that hereditary positions are bad. Also because we know the Financialization of the economy led to our shit present of low wages because of few jobs in the industry sector in most of the world.
Didn't watch the final episode bc I've read the spoilers and this type of ending is not for me. And I'm sad to say but Song Joong Ki wasn't strong enough of an actor for this role. Still love him tho.
First of all: Guo Jia is the most beautiful Chinese man I've ever seen. Which is crazy because I looked for the actors pictures on Google and he wasn't as gorgeous, tho he is still very yummy. I don't know what exactly they did, but whoever dressed and styled him for the role created one of the most beautiful men ever. Congratulations. For real. I paused his scenes to stare at his perfect face and his jaw and his eyes. Incredibly magnetic and charismatic in movement. After staring at him for so long I can only Thank God for creating him. Life is beautiful.
Second: if anyone knows good Chinese sima yi/emperor fics, please share the link with me.
He was awesome as the emperor in The Long Ballad. His facial expressions could convey so much -- he was the best actor there. Also, old but gold, he is a hottie lol
Most cross-over dramas are the same! You just laugh and get past it. LOL! Imagine her to be like A'Dou, a smooth-cheeked…
first time seeing this video. glad i'm not the only one who sees that dilraba has an androgynous face -- which most women do, it's no problem at all. if she had embraced the role a little bit more she could have aced in the appearance department. it's a shame that actresses are encouraged to look hot all the time.
One of the main reasons why cnetz gave this low ratings was because of Cheng Xiao's stiff acting.
Her stiff acting kind of worked at the very beginning of the drama but who likes to watch someone make the same face for 30+ episodes? My tinfoil hat theory is that she had to repress her expressions so much while she was an idol that now she doesn't know how to let it go lol
Hahahahaha!! It is a bit harsh but I do agree with you. I have watched until ep 23 and so far I dislike the FL…
I just realized later that it sounded harsh, sorry! I myself am stuck at ep 22 until Vicki decides to let the basic accounts watch the rest (I don't want to upgrade), but until now I practically binge watched -- that's how much I liked this drama! And Xu Kai is a dream came true! He is a gorgeous, gorgeous man and I like his acting
