Watching Love and Redemption drama chengyi成毅 Yi SiFeng is suffering in 59 episodes , and Cheng Yi depicted those feeling on his face. Unfortunately, Yian Bingyang can't do it. If you pay attention on her face in drama and not on subtitle, you see that
She is female lead but she can't act behind the innocent same as at begging of drama.
She can't make us feel her emotions after regarding her 6 senses.
Im all 59 episodes, Her face exactly same expression, stiff, motionlessness.
as she has hyaluronic filler in face.
Unlike Cheng Yi whose emotions are visible even when he doesn't speak at all.
For example :
After she Zhu Xuan Ji found at Si Feng fake wedding, her face is motionless, without any expression, without feelings, immovable.
Right and after that she is in forest,calm, she stands like she is picking flowers, forest, her face is like doll face, not having any expression.
Si Feng fake wedding is moment when she should be broken.
We should have seen that on her face .
After seeing SiFeng wedding, she should be broken in peaces, and main role actress can't depict any of this on her face.
No tears, no red eyes.
Then, when she was reunited with Si Feng in bed, when he hugged her and decided to be with he
She didn't make any feeling face .
Her face is again immovable. Motionlessness.
Actress yuan Bingyang cant express any of emotions and make us feel what character is feeling.
Is there any actress to be good as Cheng Yi in expressing feelings?
What do you think of this?

Acting
In this drama Cheng Yi has very difficult psychological roll and he is acting super good. His acting skills are perfect.Unfortunately his partner, girlfriend in this drama, has no acting skills. She is exaggerating everything she does, and she can't act. Her behave is amateur, I don't know who chooses her for main role.

Historical person
Qi Yan was really emperor, of Tang dinasty. born in 814. He had a love story, with a singer dancer that he brought in palace. He did dies at 31 and his uncle, lord of Guang did inheritet his trone. Emperor Yan had 5 sons and all of term disapeard from history records. His love woman commited suicide when he died.in this drama i dont think that writer meant that emperor faked death. emperor said in next life will live ordinary life with her.
Although the TV series "Dream Awakening Chang'an" is adapted from Feihua's novella "Swordsmanship", the original novel only has 70,000 words and focuses on emotional description.
Screenwriter Shi Si Que spent six years adapting the novel and researching history, bringing it closer to history. Even the protagonist was changed. So, the adapted "Dream Awakening Chang'an" is completely different from the original, fairy-like martial arts novel "Swordsman"!

Disappointed
I was very disappointed that script failed when grandmother saw how fast hands has Mi Lan, and just ignored so important observation to not say it to Yun Hong Shen! She spoke to him that evening , and didnt told him such important observation!Then another spoiler is, when grandmother, knowing how dangerous work is Yun doing, she started interrogation of Mi Lan on her own!!! That was so naive, and experienced lady as her, from rich family, wouldn't do that.
She would ask Mi Lan im front of someone and be prepared to expose a spy, and not as she did it!
Then, she exposed a japanese spy, and grandmother stayed home alone!!!!
Knowing that Mi Lan will realise she is exposed!
Grandmother could leave house, go somewhere, but she even send away her housekeeper!
Then spoler is , how such a rich house, doesnt have armed security!!!!
Especially when her son is killed and when her grandson was tried to be kill multiple times!
Also police was obligated to be in front of such a house all the time and olus to have prived armed security!
So Mi Lan just returned and killed her, like its nothing!
Those things doesn't make any sense im script.
Then , when Yun Hong Qi founded where
Zong Fang and Mi Lan are hiding, he just spoiled that precious info! He knew that he cant catch them but he enters in house anyway!
He, amateur, entering to catch two Japanese spies ! That scene doesn't makes any sense ! Thats absurd and then I stopped watching drama.
Just doesn't makes sense and not realistic.
Yun Hong Qi would know that he would die, so why would he even try to do such a suicidal mission?!?! Leads nowehere.
He survived only cos Mi Lan didn't want to kill him. Nonsensicall action.

Narcist
Drama depicting narcisistic personality disorder at main character YeFan.But first the most interesting is that, older brother in drama is playing character that is involved in scandal, over girl, that happened in drama like 8 years ago........ drama was released in 2013.....and then, same actor korean handosme guy, gets married and in 2020 is involved in real life in same scandal, over some mesages from his phone, from 8 years ago!
So Korean actor
Joo Jin Mo plays role of Qi Yuan in drama and same event happens to him 7, 8 years after that drama and he leaves acting for few years..........
Anyway , this Korean actor is sooooo hansome and atractive and manly, the most handsome in drama....
So, back to drama , younger broter SiFei is naive a victime. YeFan behave is clasic narcisistic personality disorder.
Just few examples:
She always makes QiFei guilty, when is SHE to blame! And he, because of having emotions takes blame on him, just to satisfy her and to be with her!
So from beggining it was obvious that YeFan is asking too much when she was in castle, and poor QiFei ignores all red flags. Her only goal was to find out about her sister snowflake.
She never cared about QiFei emotions for real, just using him.
In episode 17 she makes QiFei steal key from his brother of snowflake room and he gives to YeFan to enter room. She closes door, steals letters and run away in her room, not allowing to QiFei to enter lying that stomak hurts her!1!
She is lying all to QiFei from start!
Ep 22 YeFan exposed says that she seduced younger brother to destroy him, but now she is in love with him! Fact that someone can seduce someone to DESTROY him, shows brain damage, and psychopat! And all they ignore fact that she is stalker, psycho, and continue to not mention all that! Her behave is sick and everyone would trow her from house right away!
Generaly, orphans never had love of parents so i geus they are damaged for entire life.
in ep 23, they all find out that YeFans is black angel and instead to treow her out they allow her to stay in house. so script is unbeliveble......
Then older brother show her that snowflake is alive and sick and yeFan is happy, promising her that she will come oftten to help her recover .
that was her life mission to find her and now to help her!
But, QiFei broke up with her,WITH A REASON! HE FINALY REALISES THAT SHE USES HIM FOR ONE GOAL, AND WAS NOT STARTING RELATION WITH HIM BECAUSE OF LOVE BUT BECAUSE OF HER STALKING MISSION!
HE HAS 100000000% RIGHT TO BE ANGRY AND TO BREAK UP!
IT WAS ON HER TO JUSTIFY THAT SHE LOVES HIM AND TO PORVES HIM!
but no, as she is narcisistic psycho, she turnt situation in her favore, and SHE LEAVES HIM, PROVING THAT HE IS RIGHT ANDF SHE DOESNT CARE FOR HIM! SHE GOES IN CHINA because herfather passed away!
so she not planning to return, when she claimes that she loves QiFei and that she wanted to kill for snowflake, not she leaves all that , and changing life 180degree and goes in china!
classinc psycho!!!!!!
she not calling them, hidding behind some fake email sending emails just to older brother!!!!!!
so no one knows that she went because her falter passed away, she goes and makes QiFei feels guilty!!!!!!
the only thing he was guilty is that he didnt charged her phone! nothing else in drama!!!!!!
everything else was HER stalking and psycho behave!!!!!!
then,
yefan is back in china , with no remorose what she done to sifei, she even can start new relationship with rich guy hanli! she sits with him laughin on table, not even thinking that she owns something to snowflake or to sifei , when she left them all with no words!!!!
psycho narcisist.......
unfortunalety, poor sifei, because of his emotions, lying him self that she is batterfly hiding her emotisons.
hidding my ass!
uf she really loved sifei she would never be able to just go away in china, after he discovered that she was just using him!!!!
but poor poor sifei, loves her, and he now dedicating his life to her, and INSTEAD SHE TO PROVE HER LOVE TO HIM, AS SHE USED HIM FOR SICK PSYCHO GOAL TO REVENGE HER SISTER SNOWFLAKE, NOOOOO SHE TWISTED SITUATION, ( BECAUSE SHE DOESNT LOVE SI FEI) AND NOW HE STAYS IN CHINA TO PROVE HIS LOVE TO YEFAN!!!!!
his love was never a problem!!!! but he takes guilt , even ITS WAS HER GUILT WHY SI FEI BROKE UP WITH HER IN FRANCE!!!!!
SO now poor sifei takes guild, as he done something wrong, and he proves his love to her, because she is narcisistic psycho, who cant actualy love for real!
now she, after admiting that she is black angel, after admiting that she aproached sifei to destroy him, now she continues to play with him, using HanLi, pretending that he is good opponent and she will mary him!!!!!
so mary him bi ch, its what every normal man would say, sell your a s s to him.
but no, poor sifei begging her, to not be with HanLi, and begging one psycho female to love him!!!!
to the moment when in episode 38 , poor sifei desperate gealous on psychos game with HanLi kisses psycho female Yefan, in front of HanLi and psycho YeFan SLAPING HIM IN FACE!!!!!!
only then his brain comes from balls in head and he get hummiliated too much and goes, in hotel packing thing to go on tibet.......
when psycho Yefan finds out, that her poor toy will leave, and she will not have opponen to hanLi , she runs in hotel to Sifei, to stop him to not leave!!!!!
not because she loves him, but her ego needs some animal to torture to prove her that she is very popular and to feed her narcisist ego!
but poot Sifei is not psycho, he has pure emotions toward her, so he falls right away, no games, he says he will stay, if she wants!
and that is when psycho female yefan, gets ego feeded, and she turns , to say that still she will not be with him but just stay!!!!!
poor sifei AGAIN ADDMITING WHAT IS NOT HIS FAULT, AND HE SAYS, ITS HIS FAULT THAT HE KISSED HER IN FRONT OF HAN LI, SO THAT WHY POOR NARZI PSYCHO YEFAN HAD TO SLAP HIM!!!!!!
CLASIC GASLIGHTING BY NARZI PSYCHO YEFAN!!!!!
SO again yefan feeds her ego and continues to play with both hanli and sifei, and they dont call her slut, for whayt she is!
then in episode 43 , psycho Yefan, after poor sifei invests so much money and life to be with narzi yefan in shanghai, they return from some violine practice, and she wasnt satisfied WITH HER SELF PLAYING, nad she is yelling in car, while poor sifei drives car, that he rented only for driving narzi psycho yefan, she is yelling in car while he drives, and tries to OPEN DOR OF CAR WHILE HE DRIVES AND NEXT THING POOR SIFEI HITS MAN ON ROAD!!!!!!
so poor sifei being distracted by narzi female, not sits in jail!!!!!!
and it was setup also because of slut who plays with hanli and with sifei in same time!!!!!
so poor sifei was set up this accident, because of that sl ut......
then again, narzi yefan puts her hand to be broken, ep 47 and ofcouse, AGAIN ITS FAULT OF SIFEI AND HE NEEDS TO JUSTIFY HIM SELF AND TO PROVE HIS LOVE AND DEDICATION, AND TO TAKE GUILT FOR THAT SO PSYCHO YEFAN WOULD BE WITH HIM!!!!!!
so psycho narzi yefan, from episode where she admited she is black angel and using sifei to destroy him and find out about snowflake, from that moment, SHE WAS OBLIGATED TO PROVE HIM THAT SHE LOVES HIM TRUELY!!!!!
BUT SHE NARZI PSYCHO, DOING ALL TO PROVE THAT SHE DOESNT LOVE HIM, WHILE TWISTING SITUATUON AND POOR VICTIM MUST TAKE ALL GULT AND PROVE HER HIS LOVE, EVEN HIS LOVE WAS NEVER QUESTIONABLE!!!!!!
SO TILL END OF DRAMA, SHE NEVER EVER PROVED THAT SHE LOVES SIFEI, NEVER DONES ANYTHING TO PROVE THAT SHE LOVES HIM, AFTER ALL SHE DONE IN FRA=NCE TO USE HIM FOR OWN GOALS,
BUT VICTIME, SIFEI PROVING HER HIS LOVE ,
IT WAS NEVER HIS GUILT, AND HE TAKES ALL GULT!!!!
AND THAT IS HOW NARZI PSYCHO TYPES AS YEFAN OPERATING!!!!!
also sifei older brother, pushubg him to be with psycho, and that was really bad advice, bbaaaaad advice, but his brother wa salso manipulated and not very smart, to choose to abandon his life because of some sick female in wilechairs......

Boring plot, dream while man is dying in coma. Nonsence plot
First , except Cheng Yi other actors are very ordinary, they dont look like actors. But, all actors act good. Cheng Yi has extraordinary good martial arts skills here, difficult choreography , but he does it great! so skilled!So ALL actors act great. Martial arts of all actors is great.
Plot is real nonsence. I pushem my self to watch next eposides, and I watched all 40 but its boring.
Too many wide stories, I cant follow all characters, I cant follow what is point of story and story doesnt have a point, because its unconnected dream of man who is in coma and who will die in end.
Its very depresive, to know that story is coma dream, has no sense.
cant be compared to Lotus tower.
MUSIC is too loud!!!!! sometimes, voices of actors are not heard, because music is too loud! that is huuuuge huge lack of drama, and who ever added music, shouldnt work in fim industry anymore, he destroyed sound completely!!!! that person has no capability for music, no talent no ear!
and also I didnt liked date of release drama. it was 9/11. If they waited few years to release drama, why choosing so bad date when 3000 people are killed in america in twin towers ?
and in morning of day of premiere, as you know, actor yu menglong was murdered, and there is entire drama around that among citisens in china......... it was bad date for release drama.....

Alfa m.
Main actor Lu Chen is very beautiful, tall manly.They act good, even acting between main actors is weird, even when they act old relationship events, they both behave same strange. Not natural at all. Not happy.
Story is good , because biches like this girls really exist.
So, Xiao, broke up with Chen 8 years ago, because she thinks she can find better to get married! and because she doesnt love him! No, you dont break up with someone if you love him, end of story!
and then, she realises she grow old unmarried, almost 30, and she asks for his number! Because she knows he loves her!
then, she still waits 2 years, thinking she will find someone better to marry her,
and as she didnt, old lady of 30, because she cant find any husbant, then she remembers her old boyfriend, that she dumped, and goes in his village, where he workls, to chase him!
so, beeches like this, doesnt deserve to have again boyfriend that they dumped! I wish Lu Chen had already new love and marriage, and long time agoforgot this beech!
that would be justice .
but, unfortunately, men like Lu Chen are many, and they would be again with some beech who hurt them, instead of beeing with some nice girl that really loves them.

plot
Watchung this because of Cheng Yi. Plot is extrimly stupid and goes on my nerves.there are stupid and imposible plot, that emperor didnt wrote edict who will inherit trone after he dies!
but he says his last will to mentaly sick wife, yes she is mentaly sick and unstable, and then she LIES about last will to others,
depriving her son to be emperor! because her mental sick head thinks its best for him!
she even knows that fake emperor can kill him, her son, and she still delivers fake lying message about last will of emperor!
so both cheng xi parents, mother and father are insane people, so he had no chance to have normal life!
so disturbing and goes on my nerves, dont know If I can continue watching stupid story
