Very Interesting Drama - Spirits and Humans

Spirit Master He Si Mu / Xiao Xiao (Dilraba Dilmurat) was great. She had so many challenges from extreme loneliness to betrayal to awakening senses to love. She was great in every aspect of this drama. This may have been her best acting to date. General Duan Xu (Arthur Chen) was very good. He delivered great battle scenes and fights. He single-handedly destroyed the enemy army of over 200 thousand soldiers. He brought Spirit Master's five senses to life by sharing them with her. Yan Ke (Miles Wei) was so good with his acting. He wanted Spirit Master He Si Mu's heart, but he could never get her love. It drove him mad that she loved a human, but not him. One of my favorite characters was Jiang Ai (Zhang Li); she was fun and she stuck up for the human Duan Xu. She always mentioned him to Spirit Master He Si Mu to stir up her feelings for him. Duan Xu and Yan Ke had a few scuffles between them, mostly because Yan Ke was so jealous of He Si Mu's love for Duan Xu. He Si Mu really tried not to fall in love with the human, Suan Xu, but his love and senses made her fall in love with him. She helped him whenever he needed her, but she was hurt that he did not call her name when he was in trouble. She destroyed Yan Ke, who had previously trapped her in her spirit room. She did break out and showed him that her power was still much greater than his. The wedding between Spirit Master He Si Mu and Duan Yu was a spectacular sight. They had their wedding in the spirit realm and the other spirits seemed very happy with the pairing. They even mentioned that the bride and groom were a match made in heaven. Duan Yu gave Spirit Master He Si Mu all five of his senses as a betrothal present. She gave up her position as spirit master. He Si Mu and Duan Xu spent time alone, before he died. She was so distraught with grief that she froze the surrounding area with ice. She decided that she would not bury him with her over twenty-two former lovers, but next to her parent's tomb. She would travel the mortal realm. The spirit of duan Xu found its way to He Si Mu and they travelled together. She hoped that the spirit was his and that he would one day come back as human. The rewatch value of this drama is very high.

A Strong Female and A Loving Male Lead

I did not expect this drama to be this good. Chu Yu (played by Victoria Song) was magnificent. She was a strong female lead that would not let anyone or anything define her. She was a protector of the country and of 2 families, the Wei family and the Chu family. Her martial arts performances were so strong. When she made up her mind to have a relationship with the youngest brother of the Wei family, Wei Yun (played by Ryan Ding). After a long period of time Chu Yu started giving her all to be with Wei Yun. You had to love her in this drama, Fight For Love.

Ryan Ding was Ryan Ding, charming, shy and a great fighter. When he decided to love the female lead, he gave it his all. During the last war with the enemy country, Wei Yun killed the enemy's emperor, helped Chu Yu's brother and rescued Chu Yu. He was everywhere. He was named his country's God of War; he did not like the new title, because he knew that it would tap him and others would try to exploit him.

After fighting for so long to be together, Chu Yu and Wei Yun could see the light at the end of the tunnel. They would be together one day. At the end of the drama, Wei Yun was forced to guard the border for three years. Wei Yun and Chu Yu were apart for all three years. When Wei Yun arrived back outside the gates of the capital, Chu Yu put on a spectacular martial arts display for him, then she asked Wei Yun if he would marry her. He finally said "I will".

How Dare Yo? I Do Dare!

I knew that watching this drama was going to be great. Wang Chu Ran (played Consort, then Noble Consort Yu Wan Yin / Wang Cui Hua) and Ryan Cheng (played Emperor Xiahou Dan / Zhang San), you could not go wrong. Wang Chu Ran was great, as the Emperor's Consort, the noble consort / Noble Consort. She was such a strong character and she was so kind, unless someone she cared about was in danger. She was fearless and just so brave. Xiahou Dan was the Emperor and was a weak character overall; he drew strength from You Wan Yin (his Consort / Noble Consort).

This drama was serious at times, but had many funny moments too!

Tang Xiao Tian (played Xiahou Bo), was a very dark and mysterious prince. His deceased mother was formerly a palace maid servant. He was considered illegitimate. Actress Hu Yi Xian (played Consort Xie Yong Er) and was genuinely attracted to the illegitimate prince, Xiahou Bo. He used her for information and as a bed partner. Xiahou Bo only liked himself, somewhat. consort Xie Yong Er developed into a great character and she went from being aloof to having a close relationship with Wang Chu Ran's character (Consort / Noble Consort Yu Wan Yin). When Consort Xie Yong Er and Consort / Noble Consort You Wan Yin developed such a close relationship, they became close like sisters. The two of them played together, talked with each other and ate together. Sometimes the emperor would interrupt them and get in the way. There was a time when Noble Consort Yu Wan Yin started looking out for Consort Xie Yong Er, especially after she got pregnant and was poisoned. The Noble Consort Yu Wan Yin carried Consort Xie Yong Er on her back, to the Consort's palace. The evil Empress Dowager was a killer, a schemer and a control-centric person. Near the end of the drama, it was said that she was actually from the enemy country.

All throughout this drama, was was yelling at the television that the Emperor should give his Noble Consort more power; I wanted him to make her his Empress sooner so she would not have her hands to tied; she needed more power. He made her is Empress in the last third of the drama.

The final episode of the drama was so beautiful. The Emperor Xiahou Dan was in court with all of his Ministers. Wang Chu Ran, Emperss, walked into court with the most beautiful of gowns. She walked so gracefully and was so beautiful. She left the Emperor and Minister in aw. They Emperor and Empress walked back to a place laced with flowers. As the walked around and met at the end, a beautiful huge fireworks display took place in the night sky. The Emperor slipped a very unique gold locket ring on the Empress' finger. I had to snap so photos of the Empress' red and black gown. I also took some photos of the locket ring. I showed the photos to other people and they could not believe how the beauty of Wang Chu Ran, her red / black gown and the locket ring.

Actually, the ratings of this drama went from 8.3 to 8.7 on MyDramaList. If you do not know, that is a very high rating, that is up there with shows like Guardians of the Defang. It is ahead of Legend of the Female General.

I will watch this drama, How Dare You?, again in the near future. I Do Dare!

First Night With the Duke - Fairytale

First Night With the Duke was so much more interesting than I thought it would be. I will say that it was great. Cha Seon Chaek was fantastic and brought fun, intelligence, kindness and beauty to this drama. At times, she could also be a bit naive. When she, a support character in the story, brought her fun and modern cocktails to the drama, people became so interested in her. Prince Gyeong Seong was the king's sword; he killed anyone and everyone on the king's list. He killed without mercy. He started seeing the blood of others on his hands and did not like killing anymore. He met a drunk Cha Seon Chaek who told him that she knew all about him. He did not like killing. He took notice of her and thought she was different than other women and people. She drunkenly kissed him, out of the blue. The next morning she realized that she had slept with him all night. Her dress was lying on the floor next to the bed and the prince was in bed beside her. The prince started having feeling for her, but she was not so sure about him. Well let us skip ahead...danger and love found both Cha Seon Chaek and prince Gyeong Seong. Cha Seon Chaek was almost murdered several times, but was rescued by the prince each time. This was sort of a fairytale web drama. Cha Seon Chaek became a main character to the ire of other main characters. The rewatch value of this drama is highly recommended.

What A Magnificent Drama

I must say that this drama, Blossoms in Adversity, was excellent. I wish it was 1,000 episode long; it was 40 episodes.. Do not watch it a compare it to modern day and what dramas we have seen before. Jus tsit back and watch it. The young lady protagonist is fantastic. She is strong and fearless, yet feminine. The world needs to watch this drama and have hope. The eldest daugther was a loner, but rose to every challenge while being surrounded by people. You can tell that she wanted to just walk away from the responsiblilites thrusted upon her, but she did not. Many people have such overbearing preassures in their lives. Some people fight thru it and other just quit. She had to be tough. She did have a good man that cheered her up, gave her affection and protected her. There ere many kind people and some evil one's too. Just watch the show and enjoy! You will see.
