 Yes, you noticed that too!  The smirk during his monologue in front of the mirror is spot on, this is a new expression indeed.  And agree on the duality vibes - there's a twinkle in his eyes compared to L&R when there was overwhelming goodness in him (he might as well be wearing a halo above his head lol)This new "side" of him is very appealing and I appreciate it a lot.

LOL Halo... yes indeed Si Feng truly is a saint... Yes i wonder what kind of evil does he actually do/possesed to have that kind of personality? I can't wait to discover it. Yes his new side,, it is very alluring and seductive LOL I think even if he does act as a villain, we will still take his side over the good guy LOL

 LoveSiYehan:

Guys,what are you all talking about here??? Please don't keep me out of anything Sifeng 

LOL We were talking about how different "evil"vibe of his Li Yan compare to Si Feng's "Moshaxing"

Regarding The Promise of Chang An, I think Ming Yu was under a spell that made she thought that her son was this smart boy deserved to be an emperor. She thought that his child was the best and deserved everything. No wonder Qi Yuan grew up to be a spoiled and spiteful child who had no regard of everyone else. She was a failure as mother. 

Ming Yu character made me as a female re-think a lot about motherhood. Is it really something that could make you this heartless and entitled? In my mind, motherhood is the biggest responsibility that could ever be given to a woman (and to parents in bigger picture). You are responsible in developing someone so that he/she grows up to be a wise person who contribute to society positively. If your child ever does wrong, then it will be your responsibility to punish and set him/her straight. Before someone else can have a chance to discipline your child, you must do it first yourself.

But here, watching Ming Yu, motherhood in her mouth sounded like a curse to everyone else. She refused to discipline her son. The most she did was only a slap which did nothing at all. And then she just gave up. She only strategized, manipulated people to help her son had what he wanted. But she never once thought what her son would become as person in the future. If Cheng Xu didn't die and finally snapped something inside Qi Yuan head, I am sure this boy will grow up to become a cruel emperor. For Ming Yu to unable to foresee this, she was truly live on her own fantasy.

Now about Li Yan. This character has a sensual masculinity or something of the sort that didn't present in either Si Feng or Cheng Xu. The way Cheng Yi acts this character is very sensual and seductive. Li Yan literally is oozed with confidence aura. There is not even one drop of naivety in his blood. 

If his Si Feng already could drive his fangirls crazy, his Li Yan will be able to do much more, hahaha.

@Eclipse02:  Alluring, seductive

@Xien_Rue: Sensual masculinity, seductive, confidence aura

@Me: Agree 100% with all of the above

I hope it airs in January 2021... *my own monologue complete with smirk too*

XD

I am in ep 48 of TPoC, and I can safely say that Wayin(?..that sister who died) and YuYing have been right all along, this Mingyu is a first class scheming,calculating and manipulative B*TCH (yeah, she deserved capital letters!)who truly hides her true colours well, and our Chengxu is such a fool in love,poor guy lost all his chances because of her and he still believes that she has him in her heart...

 LoveSiYehan:

Um...is he playing a villain here or some kind of anti-hero?? And why do we see same cast from L&R here again???  If it goes on like this, it will become monotonous

At this point in time, I really can't say for sure but his character should be the protagonist.  The same cast is because they're all from the same management agency, so they get involved in the same projects.

There are some different faces in the main cast, like the villain.

 WandereR:

It's a new drama called Awakening of Chang'an.  It's supposed to air next year.

Chang'an again.??..like it's a sequel to The Promise of Chang'an?.Nah..that couldn't be...what does Chang'an mean??
