Review Court Lady
Hahahhahaha I love the way you write! I saw someone else describe Li Yitong's characters as always radiating Mother…
Heheheh tyvm. I really like LYT but I think in this drama her portrayal of Fu Rou was too similar to her Wenxi is Royal Nirvana. She is a quiet beauty for sure but I think she also lacks screen presence, which is why she makes no lasting impression in any of her roles. And she is not funny so she is arguably mis-cast here. It is supposed to be a dark story where they use a lot of humor to lighten the mood. Unfortunately all the funny characters are not part of the inner palace arcs so people feel like it turned into a different drama. I hoped this would be a breakout role for her but sadly its not.

I have half a mind to read the book to see what they intended with the rebellion arc but don't forget Royal Nirvana's rebellion got blood bathed by NRTA... Some similarities between that crown prince and this one... it made me think Li Zefeng may have made a better ML in that - less crying. I didn't recognise him from Winter Begonia, I had to go back and look for him and yes he was fantastic in that too! I will keep an eye out for him in the future but I am determined to try to avoid as many as these flag waving dramas as I can - its still not 2047 yet!

Love Bi Wenjun as well - he is wasted in this drama though.

Ep 22 - Qing Qing says it. It should be subbed but they may not have phrased it exactly like I did.

So, it’s been over a week and no ep. 37 on Amazon Prime. I’m remaining hopeful that Netflix will have it!…
I sent a message to Amazon Prime explaining the problem. You should do the same. I am quite sure they have the whole thing but since the easter egg comes after a bunch of ending clips, they may have just discarded it or not bothered to upload it.

Review Joy of Life
Totally love your description of the Emperor! I can hardly keep it together during his scenes because of the contrast…
Ikr - the emperor is just a fabulous iconic character! Its really in the same league as NIF for sure and I think it is a lot more accessible than NIF so it could even enjoy broader popular appeal... if they ever get around to finishing all 3 seasons.

Review Court Lady
The way you describe Fu Ruo is making me run for the hills. But i might end up continuing with this for the dark/angst…
Thx my dear - don't be put off by Fu Rou, I managed to like this a lot in spite of her. You may actually like this one flawed as it is. One to save for the dry summer...

Review Court Lady
As always, fantastic review. Are you sure you're not a professional reviewer? I love your insights and your analysis.…
Thank you, you are too kind but I just enjoy throwing peanuts. You are too modest, I enjoy your reviews and insights as well so keep writing them!

Review Court Lady
Now I haver a clearer picture after reading your review. No wonder my mum is enjoying this too. I was conned by…
No it is not a romcom - the comedic parts are actually quite good but the romances are dark. Its doing well with Chinese viewers - they are very critical but they also understand and appreciate the historical aspect a lot better.

Review Legend of Fu Yao Spoiler
I wouldn’t describe it like that - let’s just say it was like WOH except I honestly didn’t care either way.
Open/interpretative.

Yeah my mom is yapping my ear off so I haven't been able to write my review but THAT is the real story and that actor was phenomenal. If that is what will interest you, go for it, you will love it.

I actually like it quite a bit. I mean I don't rate it highly bc of all the lousy writing but if you are a history buff, the important bits are actually quite well done. Like they took tons of literary license with the facts but the meaning and the essence of the characters are well captured. And the acting is phenomenal across all the characters. No mis matched childish voices either.

Its there throughout and it is actually his story if you watch it carefully. I would say if you are bored this summer just FF all the couples or all the couples you don't like and watch the imperial family.

Oh the romances are just simply dreadful and it overflows with male characters that are misogynists and stalkers. But I really like the story of Tang Taizong's succession mess and that part of the story is actually what the show is about and it is a rather sympathetic portrayal of this rather sad crown prince. So its not actually that bad depending on what you are watching for.

his own sons are now at each other's throats. Is that not called karma???
Well given his reputation for plagiarism, he is probably more effective as a producer although I would say that he still doesn't make good hiring decisions wrt script.
