There is a listing for Bai Chuan as Lang Zhusheng on the Dramawiki Glory page. I didn't find any character named…
The link isn’t working and it’s hard to tell from the picture on MDL. It could be him. The subtitles on episode one said last name was Feng so that’s why I got confused lol. But thank you, I think that is the actor.
I’m just starting on this today. does anyone know the actor who plays Feng Zhusheng (private advisor) in episode 1? Sometimes characters have 2 names in a drama but I don’t see his name anywhere in the cast list.
Here’s hoping the app doesn’t freeze again 🤞🏽 Anywho, I just finished Legend of the Magnate and in the BTS, she mentioned that that was her first costume drama. Thinking back to all the dramas I’ve seen her in, they were all modern. So I decided to double check all her work and forgot she was in Dr. Cutie, one of my first Cdramas. Unless this was her first Qing Dynasty drama but the translation didn’t mention it. On a side note, I see she has a lot of new dramas coming out. Good for her. She’s one of my favorite actresses.
The guy in the end is the young boy in first episode, Su Xiao Hu,son of su shuhe who committed suicide to prove…
Thank you! First episode felt so long ago that I totally forgot but now that you mentioned it, I kind of remembered. It was nice they kept in touch over the years.
Finally finished this and although it was good, they tried to fit too much into the story towards the end. I was almost getting a little bit bored when they introduced the foreigners and the overlapping of different languages spoken, along with trying to read the subtitles. I know it’s for accuracy because there really was an East India Company and that the British looked down on the Chinese at the time. I am glad it had a happy ending but can someone remind me who that guy was at the end? idk why I thought it could have been his son, but it wasn’t. Wish we had at least 5 more episodes to wrap the story up, or maybe another season. Would I recommend this to anyone? Absolutely. There aren’t many Qing Dynasty dramas out there compared to wuxia/xianxia/historical/modern ones, so it was refreshing seeing something different (I’ve only watched a handful of Qing Dynasty dramas in the past). I do wish though that the ratings were a little higher. It was in the 8’s, but now it’s at 7.9 as of this comment (12/12/25). I think it went down because of the rushed ending or possibly lack of romance (not one single kiss in here that I remember), although both main couples were cute.
I’m on episode 35 and I’m glad iQIYI dropped all episodes for free lol. I will try to get to everything tonight but definitely finish this by this weekend. idk if it’s me but did the ratings go down a little? I hope the ending doesn’t disappoint.
