Anyway I watched this pairing before as Mei Chao Feng & Chen Xuan Feng in Nine Yin True Sutra. I liked that…
If you think logically, it is actually the opposite π BOP is set around Wei and Jin dynasty, while Nine Yin True Sutra is set in Song dynasty. So Xihe and Huayong reincarnated as Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng π But since Nine Yin broadcasted first, it is understandable.
He Yu's note on Xiao Huayong: "He chose to be only a husband, only a father, allowing the imperial family to have only a home, his home. Father and son were just father and son, husband and wife just husband and wife."
Not very familiar with both leads previous work. I know very little about Meng Zi Yi as Heart Signal panelist…
Meng Ziyi is a natural beauty. It has been proven. Shen Xihe is supposed to be a coldhearted, emotionless person. When she was Gu Qingzhi, she had no emotions, soul and heart. How can you expect her, with Gu Qingzhi's soul in a new body, to be emote?
And FYI, her acting has been praised by producers, directors, senior actors, peers and even casual watchers. Even haters can't attack her acting, they can only accuse her of having plastic surgery π
A suggestion, you should stay away from idol drama and watch mainstream drama.
I hope this drama isnβt as boring as her other dramas that Iβve watched. Every time Iβve seen her as the…
What "these type of roles" are you talking about?
Cdrama is ALWAYS slow paced, slow burn, that's why before it has 60-80 eps to get all the details, and now it is only around 30-40 but fans even want more episodes. Even the magical Nirvana in Fire, Story of Yanxi Palace, Scarlet Heart, Qin Empire, Legend of Chu and Han, Story of Ming Lan are slow paced.
The novel version, if you are curious:Huayong managed to get the emperor promised him that his son will be the…
Bcos he was responsible for his father, Prince Qian's death and he isn't a good emperor either.
There are 4 major villains in the novel: 4th prince, 8th prince, emperor + empress dowager.
After Huayong was poisoned (at 8), he was sent to a temple along with the empress dowager. There he learned about his identity and began to plan for retaliation.
The uncle, is also a Xiao member. Everyone thought he died, but he didn't. He had been hiding and Huayong found him and helped him to kill the emperor. Huayong only used this uncle though. He doesn't care about humans life, except Xihe's life.
The emperor is secretly smuggling weapons with the help of Prince Kang (Shen Yingruo's maternal family), but after Huayong and Changqing blew this up, the emperor executed Prince Kang to cover himself.
The last battle is the rebellion after Huayong left. Xihe asked the emperor to play chess with her while waiting whether it is her army or his army who wins. At that time, the emperor is already dying though.
Not even close. Mu Wanyao has a bad temper, mood swing, flirtatious, seductive, arrogant, proud, but fragile and lonely. She is like a rose, full of thorns, beautiful, but untouchable, not letting anyone gets close.
Indeed. She is coldhearted.The soul is Gu Qingzhi, a woman who gave up in living bcos she knew her family would…
Even in the novel, her life as Gu Qingzhi is only explained in the first 2 chapters. Prince Xin only loved Gu Qingzhi. He is loyal and devoted to his wife. The drama scriptwriter made him a freak, but logically speaking he behaves like that bcos he is sure Shen Xihe is Gu Qingzhi, not bcos he loves Shen Xihe. I feel heartbroken for Prince Xin (novel ver), but at least he got a HE.
Everyone is in love with the FL. I can understand the widower but the others...I really like the actress, but…
Indeed. She is coldhearted. The soul is Gu Qingzhi, a woman who gave up in living bcos she knew her family would be exterminated. She had never been in love, her heart and soul was no longer there. With this soul inhabiting Shen Xihe's body and gained her memories, she slowly changes.
Only the crown prince and 9th prince who are truly in love with her. The others have their own agenda.
For those who want Winwin to be the ML, the ML is supposed to be older and the FL calls him gege. Winwin has such a baby face. Imagine Meng Ziyi calls him gege. It's like Li Yunrui calling Huangyang Tiantian jiejie, or Neo Hou calling Aimi jiejie π
He supposedly died, right?... And then he comes back... but the producers don't explain why he didn't show it,…
She knew bcos the fake death must be done to help him also to secure their son's status. He was dying bcos the 8th prince worsened his poison. She never told their son that his father has died. For a better understanding, try to read the last 6 chapters of the novel.
The girl played as Rena aka Shibuya Nagisa literally outshines everyone! She looks like an angel and she is perfect for the role. Her smile is beautiful though, but here her smile doesn't reach her eyes...
I have heard about Sasaki Nozomi since decades ago, but never actually watched her drama. Perhaps bcos she never worked with my bias? Anyway, her character started as a decisive and strong woman, but later she becomes meek and lost.
Makoto is your average high school crush who wants to be a hero, but too weak.
I watched the first episode and it was CRAAAAAAAZZZZYYYYY π±π±π±π±π± I did not expect that level of psychotic level. No, it is not sadistic level, but the dualism of this psychopath has.
The plot itself is good. Nagisa as Rena is perfect. However, the FL is getting dumber and weaker as the episode goes by. There is a target of operation, her weakness, AND strong proofs of her crimes. Yet she doesn't use anything! Rena literally outsmarted her every single time.
What baffled me was this proofs should have been stored in multiple storages, yet they freaked out when ONE storage is missing πͺ
BOP is set around Wei and Jin dynasty, while Nine Yin True Sutra is set in Song dynasty. So Xihe and Huayong reincarnated as Mei Chaofeng and Chen Xuanfeng π
But since Nine Yin broadcasted first, it is understandable.
Or better, read the last 6 chapters of the novel! It is very satisfying.

It is very rare to have a FL like this.

Personally I want:
Ao Ruipeng, Quan Yilun, Yan An, Wang Xingyue, Cheng Lei.
I think yaoke will choose actors who are less popular than Meng Ziyi for both ML and SML.
He was dying bcos the 8th prince worsened his poison.
She never told their son that his father has died.

You can send me dm if you are curious which one has happy or bad ending, or which one is heavy or good as a start.
