Chen Zhe Yuan finally got a script + character that lets his acting skill shine. OMG!!! He's so perfect in his imperfections - the ruthless 1st prince, valiant warrior, cruel task master, strategist extraordinaire and yet his vulnerabilities make him so humane, his imperfections resonate with 'US', the target audience. His childhood trauma, the pain, loneliness, constant conspiracies and all the betrayal - It's a miracle he's turned out to be such a strong person. Anyone less fortunate would've become insane long ago💖💖.
I watched Li Qin for the first time in 'WAR OF FAITH' and I was very impressed with her acting. This is her second show that I'm watching and I think she's even better here. This lady rocks as Fu Yixiao - 'The Red Clad General' whose only mistake was to trust her saviour. She literally goes to hell and back, being saved by her enemy, tortured, broken, yet learning to swim against the current, again. 😎👌
Feng Suige and Fu Yixiao have me completely enraptured. 😍😍 Such well written characters, hats off to the writers 🤩
And about the major conflict of the story - 'The consequences of one's choices', which brings me to Xia Jingshi.
This character was introduced to us as a prince of an enemy kingdom but as his layers are exposed, only this single question keeps us glued to him - What does Xia Jingshi truly desire? It is definitely NOT Fu Yixiao. He's fooling himself too.
Xia Jingshi is a complex character who fought for his kingdom for years, risking his life at every turn? He oscillates effortlessly between a love-sick, young and vulnerable prince to a cold and ruthless royal who can sacrifice his pawns anytime, if it suits his purpose.
The most pivotal scene of today is the confrontation scene between the four characters, which includes the Princess , Feng Xiyang - A character through which we, the viewers, are shown how ignorance, obsession and illusion can bring in massive downfall, not only to oneself but to everyone else who cares. She is also a major part of the core conflict in the story, the reason that will determine the choices of the main leads - FSG & FYX.
My expectation -
The Trigger - Feng Xiyang will either make or break Xia Jingshi. If he chooses her, then he gets a redemption arc, if not, his ending will be brutal. Not a physical death but something far darker.
The Resolution - Due to Feng Xiyang's choices in episodes 17 & 18, Feng Suige and Fu Yixiao will have to face their darkest fears. And those choices will leave them either permanently damaged or healed and how it will affect their world.
(P.S. If you've read this far, thanks for your patience at my ramblings 😆😅)
I'm rating the show an 8 because of the following:
1) I wish the writers would've shown us Jiang Qiao Xi's hardships in Hong Kong. It would've made the romance hit a different level. Only Ling Yin Tao realises what he faced. The audience is mostly left in the dark. Zhang Ling He and Zhao Jin Mai have such palpable chemistry. The writers didn't utilise even One-eighth of their potential. 😭
2) How could they not show us the dynamics between Yu Qiao and Qin Ye Yun? Both of them are such self-sacrificing and loyal people. They're bound to be together. They missed out on such an awesome romantic secondary arc.
This show 😘😘 ARP after episode 13 💘😭 And everyone else on the team. Each person of the team has a distinct personality. The writing of this show is flawless. Guys rate for the show 🙏😊
When HY was grieving and his whole persona shifted I feel so depressed. I missed his smile and when HZ was describing…
Very true.. 😭💔 It hurt a lot because we're all wishing for them to somehow get back everyone they'd lost, plus their endearing smiles and cute moments ❤️🩹
Does the Fox Spirit Matchmaker have another arc that can at least give our Main CP Wangquan Hong Ye and Dongfang Huaizhu a happy reincarnation story? 🙏🤞
Zhang Yun Long... He did it!! I've felt every emotion as acutely as if undergoing it myself through these last few episodes. And what a tragic, excruciatingly painful yet logical ending it has been. My poor heart is under a lot of stress. 💔💔
Did Wangquan Hong Ye have to really lose everybody? Is that the price for his status as the Leader of the Yiqi Alliance? And so it's proved that 'The throne comes at a heavy price'.
Zhang Yun Long is such an underrated actor!! His emotions are so raw and in his eyes that I cried myself empty. I hurt for him so bad. 😭
Everything WQHY did was to save the world from the Black Fox and yet after having sacrificed all he possibly could, he had one thread of light to live by, and that too was snatched away from him. Fate has been truly cruel to him.
And HuaiZhu is so incredible. She is gravely wounded but is still thinking about how to help her 'HongYe'. Her sacrifice will benefit the world in general but I still think she should've at least prepared HongYe up front. He was like a dying man clutching at straws when he finds out about her sacrifice. 💔
And the death of the other members, each of them is a stab at my already battered heart...
Yes, the show is tragic but I think all the actors added to its magnificence. It is truly a masterpiece of a show.
So guys don't be afraid of a sad ending. The main CP will leave you feeling so many deep emotions and wiser in the ways of the world.
Also, creators I wanna see Zhang Yun Long in more xianxia dramas. He's such an excellent actor but sadly not used to his true potential, except this show. But please give us a happy CP ending next time. This sadness and heartbreak is all I can take 🙏🙏😭😭
Since everything is pretty much set in stone and I am going to cry buckets when the events unfold, I'm just going to prepare myself to hurt like hell, starting from tomorrow.
But after everything is over, can we have an extra episode with the main CP - Hong Ye and HuiaZhu , plus the other CPs ,reincarnate in the modern world and be united and alive together, 🙏🙏😭😭
