Ive just finished Princess Gambit, its pretty ok if you havent watched it already. Rebel Princess also I highly recommend. I love historicals but not too hot on wuxia.
They were so funny when they both found out ML was the 7th prince lol perfect facial expressions, I laughed all day watching it over and over again lol
OMG, the princess Junior is so narcissistic and up herself, she is not even remotely pretty. Who on earth would be attracted to such a vile, cruel mouth as hers??? AAAND hy dont they have lookouts outside the doors when trying to be secretive????? AAAND cant the daughters get a break??? All their betrothed or husbands have turned out the most evil men!!!! BUT I so love the older brother and her father, they are soooo funny!!! My best part of the drama was when they both found out from Mr Zhen that ML was the seventh prince, sooooo fuuunnyyy!!!!!
This shii is getting ridiculous...What kind of monster are you that you had to resort to such manipulative tactics…
She is doing my head in, I hate how she approaches him for help, then tells him in the same conversation when he asks questions, that it is not his concern. I would kick her to the kerb if I were him. Yes, she lived a horrible life, but it is not her place to use and manipulate people to survive. A lot of her grief is self-inflicted. She saves her maid, then sends her on an exhausting, dangerous trip (without a horse, mind you), hundreds of miles away to look for her brother! I am only watching for the good prince, the chancellor and his sister; everyone is too evil or bad acting.
up to ep 27 and I find it so irritating that in Chinese palace historicals, how easy it is for people to just waltz on in and kill people in prison and make it look like a suicide. FL is also getting on my nerves with her unintelligent lost in space look she has, and without any sensuality whereas ML is one of the hottest Chinese actors out, he really plays his romance parts really well, pit he does not get paired up with the actress he deserves.
Even though the subs are not that great, even if they were, the story is so full of gaps, it makes you wonder how the episodes seem to jump a whole story line and into the next. Really confusing. Also it is amazing how the princes wives dont seem to age, yet it has been 14 years since the series started.
Also I have reached past half-way of the series, and that Mongolian princess has amazingly gotten away with all her spying and scheming, always hidden in dark corners with her smirking smile. Can't wait to see her get busted. Irritating character that really does nothing but hang around like a third wheel everywhere. Has also managed to remain unmarried since she got there lol
Gosh that young emperor before Zhu Di is so arrogant and dumb.
I decided to stop watching it because I found the over-the-top humor unbearable. Although I used to enjoy it, I now prefer watching more serious content. I plan to pick it up again later when I am in a better mood. lol
Yes many of their historicals as well, but not a huge fan of Wuxia, which seems to be the theme atm with them. Though I just watched one of the best c-historicals ever - The Prisoner of Beauty which just had the right amount of humour which didnt affect the dark side like The Double which was over the top.
It was refreshing to watch a drama without any women involved; it was pure testosterone, BUT are they robots? No pain, slashed everywhere on the body, still alive
Halfway to the end, awesome fighting, but frustrated that he can waste men in the dozens all at the same time but some of his one on one's are sloppy and not very good fighting. Cant believe so many gangsters are useless with knives.
