This sounds great! A strong and powerful FL with a great outcome. And, for a change, we see the perspective of…
These 2 are what I call: Side-story-cdrama-fluffy-fillers.
- Maiden Holmes, I barely managed to finish it. It was a better filler than most of this year, 2020’s fillers. It was passable.
- Qing Qing Zi Jin, I am still at the early beginning episodes. I have not found the courage to go back. What irritated me was the FL’s dubbing voice. It was so annoying.
If there is a happy ending there... Then this historical drama has not followed the historical facts on Xiao Chuo’s…
Ohhhhhh... Now, I remember where I saw her portrayal before. It was in The Iron Empress aka Empress Cheonchu. - Shim Hye-jin as Empress Xiao of Liao. - Lee Jin-woo as Han Duk-yang.
But in there, she never married Han De Rang. They just had a weird and co-dependent relationship that her son, the future young emperor, hated.

I doubt Tencent film production would change the most crucial and the most dramatic part of her life story into a romance. Just to appease the general audience.
And it is already in the tag-lines: Lovers Separated.
I am not really a fan of the ancient Chinese central plains’ costumes or their fashion in general. And I am even less of a fan of doom-romance tragedy.
So I don’t know if I will even start this drama...
After reading the synopsis of this drama on WeTV, there might be a happy ending based on what happens
If there is a happy ending there... Then this historical drama has not followed the historical facts on Xiao Chuo’s life story. She became the sitting Empress then later to become the Empress Dowager Chengtian.
There should be no happy ending between her and Han De Rang.
Les Fleurs du Mal par Charles Baudelaire... What a great piece of French classic!
Mid-way impressions: - That wife of his, forcefully pursued him to no end; which was not attractive at all (She showed no decorum whatsoever...). And now, that her made-up fantasy life shows some cracks; she is acting as the innocent victim by playing cruel games on him. - Crazy thoughts, why not simply be straightforward and ask your husband about his past and the real truth??? - I am sure there will be some kind of epiphany moment for her at some points down the line; however, I don’t like that wife’s character from the very beginning. - I also don’t really like the male lead character. I was expecting a strong and decisive male character but he is rather weak, rather unintelligent and he is easily manipulated by others (Examples - his dead father and his older sister).
*Definitely not the Dexter’s character that I was expecting...
I am curious since it's by the same director, and he does well in directing romantic scenes! However, I'm not…
We don’t know that Xuxu is not as good as Cheng Yi. Just as Cheng Yi had the fortuitous opportunity to show his full acting potentials with a great project like, Love and Redemption. Xuxu also needs that same fortuitous opportunity...
I am not a fan of side-story-cdrama-fluffy-fillers (DEFINITELY NOT); however, I have to admit the ones that Xuxu had been a part of, with the exception of Dance of the Sky Empire... were pretty darned good.
Don’t let his good looks and his gorgeous stature fool you. Xuxu definitely has potentials.
I find that Xuxu’s acting skills and stage presence are improving by leaps and bounds... Xuxu is really natural; there is nothing forceful about his on-screen deliveries.

Did I say “Hate”?
Yes, HATE.
You too:)
I will come back to check it again in a month or so...
Meanwhile, I literally have nothing to watch that captivates my complete attention.
I blame you and only you...
Love and Redemption!
The Promise of Chang’an (2020)... All over again...
But with a less self-absorbed and less selfish female lead.
I am not sure if I will start this one or not.
But definitely, it’s on the back burner.
Now, I remember where I saw her portrayal before.
It was in The Iron Empress aka Empress Cheonchu.
- Shim Hye-jin as Empress Xiao of Liao.
- Lee Jin-woo as Han Duk-yang.
But in there, she never married Han De Rang. They just had a weird and co-dependent relationship that her son, the future young emperor, hated.
Apparently Tencent did disregard her factual and historical life-story.
About that!!!
About that!!!
Instead of The Legend of Xiao Chuo, they should have titled this:
Matrimonial Golden Age Romance.
At least, she gets to cut her cake and she gets to eat it too...
Just to appease the general audience.
And it is already in the tag-lines: Lovers Separated.
And I am even less of a fan of doom-romance tragedy.
So I don’t know if I will even start this drama...

You like what or whom you like!
It is the freedom of liking.
But my heart still hurts:(
You are the first person whom I talk to; who does not like Xuxu...
My heart hurts:(
