Well everyone dies, so I guess its just a matter of at which point the show ends...
I abandoned Ming Dynasty after the first few episodes but yes that show was loose with the facts although I didn't watch enough to know to what extent. To your point maybe, it was widely criticized for that by Chinese audiences themselves the censors didn't really have to do anything.
I do think there is a lot of room for digression from history when its advertised as a fictionalized account but the production companies still tiptoe around important facts and figures. In Longest Day in Changan the concubine is clearly Yang Guifei but one of her lesser known names is used throughout.... In this, I am guessing that if they wish to really change things so significantly as to make Liu Yikang ultimately ascend the throne and live HEA for example, they would not use his real name and kingdom. That said, this was one of those many dinky little short lived kingdoms in China's long history that may not be considered that significant...
What do you think will be its ending? I can't take it if it's a tragic ending???
It is based on a historical figure you can google what happened to him / someone posted links earlier in the thread. I heavily detect the Weiyoung formula in this so my guess is worst case it is bittersweet. But they could also make it a happy ending up to a certain point in his life and and end it say when he becomes prime minister. Distorting history I believe is still a big no no so there are limits as to what they can do.
This man looks great in costume. He knows how to make his presence while walking. It happens in all his dramas!…
It was an interview post Glory of Tang - either in late 2017 or early 2018 where he talks about being hospitalized and on a drip but he has so many interviews she couldn't find it again.
ah, this explains everything I thought was wrong with the drama. Very unfortunate - the last episode had a GOT…
Indeed, otherwise for sure we would have gotten some real kick-ass fight scene at the end! And at least this just went on for about a month, GOT you watch for eight years to get kicked in the teeth!

I didn't watch it - my mom is a way bigger fan than I and cyber-stalks him - she told me about it. Its in Mandarin with no subs. If you can understand, I will ask my mom if she remembers which one.

I think it was at the beginning of one of the latest episodes (from 32 on) but I don't remember which one. She is about 100 years old and her father was the clan leader but since had no son, Nalan Yue's father took over the clan instead. That makes her Yue's father's cousin (I think) assuming their fathers were brothers.
Didn't she ask the villain general guy why did you act so prematurely? Sure seems to imply they're plotting together.
Isn't he her nephew? She is not related to Liu Yikang she is just his foster mother but she is Liu YiXuan's mother. Watched the first few awhile back - am trying to remember the relationships/figure out where the conflicting loyalties arise...
Recognizing I must be very behind on episdes but... he is over-acting so ill even infront of his stepmother who supposedly loves him, Some real bad shit must be going down here and he definitely doesn't trust her. I don't either I think she is a wolf in sheep's clothing.
Wow... I put this on hold for awhile and just started rewatching and I see a lot of strong comments... is this a safe thread or is silence golden here?
As noted in other comments, the same production team produced both dramas. (With the caveat that these are fictionalized…
This is very helpful - if you look under the cast, Tiffany Tang is making a guest appearance as Li Wei Yang - typo Wei Young? So there should definitely be a connection that will emerge.
I saw clips of Rong Hua asked Yue to spare her father's life, and a lil bit disappointed. I thought at this point,…
So just a question: is it better if she encourages everyone to kill her dad dead? How would we react to that? Why doesn't she do the deed herself? Would that be even better? Just asking. In any case, Rong Jingfeng's misdeeds regardless, in general I find revenge plots ultimately hollow and disatisfying and hopefully our leads/this storyline this can do us one better than that.
LMAO - that is really funny - where did you see that?
I'll probably continue Song of Glory as well - I watched the first few and then abandoned it because it had too many Weiyoung vibes. But nothing else I am interested in has aired so will probably c u soon on that thread.
