To be fair, there are a lot of cliches in female acting in China that are a result of deeper seated misogynism.…
Is it a censorship issue? There are plenty of dramas that have characters with multiple wives. And even though I didn’t watch it I don’t think they changed the harem part in the 2021 versionof Deer and Cauldron and there are tons of palace harem dramas so I assume the adaptation of JOL and SSS is in response to audience appeal and not censorship. That said like you, I don’t have a problem with it if it makes sense for the storyline but I won’t like it if it is gratuitous. So I hated Deer and Cauldron from the first time I saw it when I was just a little girl it is my least favorite Jin Yong story even though I read it and understand why it is considered his greatest work.

I agree with your comments on how misogynist the writing of female characters are in Chinese drama. I think however we as audiences must vent and pan such characterizations as much as possible so that the producers and writers hear how we feel. Especially since most viewers are women anyway. That said as regards to this drama (and JOL for that matter) they are based on harem novels where the ML has multiple partners and it is a sign of progress that they get it that that kind of Wei Xiaobao story just won’t go down well with female audiences anymore in this day and age. I don’t have any issue with the FL in this drama I have seen way worse and I was expecting that very much like JOL this is inherently a very male centric, male lead centric drama. So I am actually pleasantly surprised to find so many kick ass female characters surrounding Fengnian even though I think the story is pretty much all about him.

Haaahhh, finaly I get some wholesome long Wuxia fights in ep 17. I'm sattisfied but my hunger for more...
Yeah the fighting has really gotten good. The director has said that he wants viewers to appreciate the beauty of the fighters movements so he didn’t choose to do slo mo gratuitously it is all very artistic: I love this approach and think it’s great that he dares to be different but the beginning was a bit too slow I think he has got it just right at this point by interspersing it with some high speed movement.

Mysterio was wrong, Peter Parker isn't Spiderman, Xu Xiao is. Holycrap the amount of web this guy spun- it's crazy.…
I had the same question but the general consensus is she was just mortally wounded impacting her lifespan but they are all her kids. That makes sense considering all the other stuff Xi Xiao has said. They went after her when she was pregnant with Fengnian because that was when Xi Xiao started to become powerful and they were afraid she would birth a son and heir.

Title Luoyang
Then you should watch this...his performance in Luoyang is top notch very satisfactory
"NIF and JOL had a baby" - love it!!!
I even like SSS better than JOL.
Luoyang is a different genre, very enjoyable but the writing is nowhere the same level although it is a faster pace instant gratification kind of show. Best thing is they both don't plaster the ML with pasty white girlie foundation.

I believe this takes place long after her husband's demise.

I have the iQiyi app on my iPhone and iPad. Their app is even available on AppleTV. I watch from AppleTV directly no need to airplay. In fact, WeTV is also on AppleTV, iPhone and iPad.

One interesting character design choice being made in Luoyang is that the empress is (at least in early episodes)…
She found religion. Buddhism was the way she legitimised her reign by demonstrating that she had the Mandate of Heaven.

Yeah unfortunately it seems so. Youku just stole their writer but judging from this I am starting to think no…
Wow... iQiyi has been utterly gutted then! And the sum of the parts is not greater than the whole so in the end we viewers suffer... 🥲

Yu Youwei is actually the character that kind of annoys me, not Jiang Ni. I don't see her purpose and she is pretty much useless she just takes up space.
