Yes it is but though playing a 20 years young prince it is a little bit awkward, don't you think? ????
This topic comes up often in historical c-dramas. But to put it in perspective, average life expectancy was very low in ancient China - i think under 40 years and the marriage age was around 14-16. People matured and aged a lot faster as well so a 20 year old prince in those days has likely lived half his life already and in today's age is probably not that far off from Luo Jin's current age. A young 20 year old actor is less likely to be able to convincingly pull off the sophistication and maturity that many of the more complex roles call for and has in a few dramas ended in immature and shallow performances - in other words a total train wreck. These "teenage" characters from those times are far more mature than the present day norms of that same age group.
OMG this is a must watch... But uhm... don't Yang Mi and Tang Yan hate each other??? Hope the wrong kind of sparks…
Tbh I barely follow celeb gossip, I think all the "fights" etc all generate publicity anyway so none of them actually mind that much what the rabid fans are saying negative or otherwise. But that specific rumor was pretty widespread if even I heard about it so I was surprised to see them teamed up here but looks like that won't happen. The show itself I hope does happen bc of Hu Ge and I wouldn't mind seeing him cast alongside Tiffany instead because Hu Ge + Yang Mi has been done before very successfully already. I do like both actresses about equally.
I wonder if everyone who watched the first 4 episodes manages to catch the full intricacies of the 'Plot of the…
I had to watch twice to figure out what happened with the scrolls. I am only at 6 but the exam fiasco so far is easier to follow. To be honest I don't love the approach the screenwriter has taken with these plot twists. We don't need full disclosure but what we get to see does not even meet the standard of fair disclosure. This prevents us from being a participant in the crown prince's play and really buy into it. We are just confused bystanders that are either impressed or dismayed when the plot is uncovered. They don't get it that part of the thrill is trying (successful or not) to figure it out ahead of time. That said, I am loving the initial interactions between the main characters, in particular the two leads.
I seem to be stuck at 6 for now - I can see there are up to 10 out on a Youtube playlist I just can't get access to no matter what I try. Boo! :(
For those asking about quality of English subtitles, I watched episode 2 againto compare two versions from different…
I also found Astro had excellent subtitles for Longest Day in Changán and Love and Destiny - better and comparable to Viki respectively. Its too bad its not easy to access but many sites like Dramacool often manage to obtain the Astro version - look for yellow font subs its usually from Astro.
It is a very complex relationship - he is reluctantly proud of him but at the same time feels threatened by him. He is envious of his relationship with his teacher and his uncle. He is frustrated by his defiance, his lack of trust and his bad habit of showing him up in front of the court. He thinks he is weak because of his compassion and yet is humbled by it. Ultimately it is also just survival instinct. There is a lot of precedence throughout not only Chinese but world history of the impatient heir that deposes his father. The crown prince is not blameless in this. But so far I suspect they actually love each other.
It's too easy to rewatch since it's still on Netflix. It took me months to calm myself from continuous rewatching.…
I prefer re-watching it on re-youtube because I find it easier to fast forward but yes indeed its so easy to get sucked into the rewatch. On Untamed I am on ep 18 but for some reason I am still not hooked. I started it 5 months ago, it must be the longest it is taking me to watch something. That said, I think its ok, I don't hate it I am just not hooked.
I'm about to rewatch it again right now too.Ten Miles of Peach Blossom is the Real Masterpiece Eternal Love and…
Nirvana in Fire - its not a light drama but to me its still really is the best c-drama made to date. Funnily in so many ways my top 2 cannot be more different from each other. They are almost opposities...
@peachblossomgoddess OMG! Just saw the trailer. I sure hope it’s not like Rises of the Phoenixes....... I shudder…
Yes can ping me on it - I started it 4-5 months ago but it just didn't hook me I watch it when I am very bored. Am stuck at around 18 you will probably finish it sooner than I...I do love the guy's gorgeous grin it makes me smile every time. Which is why I still watch now and then.
