She wanted at first to have his gentleness but when she didnt get it, she so crave for him, she will accept his roughness. they were apart. Of course when Du Fei Hong died, Qiyou became bland, because he was only concerned with Ma Fuya and the love aspect. Liu Zi Jiao as Liansi is competent. Yes he had to marry the woman she wanted him to marry but the initial wedding was a trick, if he had known he would have rejected her outright. Maybe because he has done a lot to atone for his sins and also because Ma Fuyas father would have thrown away his kingdom sooner or later with his almost incestuous fixation over his only daughter which I find annoying to say the least. You can see the way he looks at her that he is eager to please her, when he knows she is not pleased, his shoulder slumped, like the entire weight of disappointment on his shoulder. Lady Yehenara, otherwise known as Empress Dowager Cixi, was arguably one of the most successful concubines in China's history. Whilst we can all argue who is the handsomest and all, no doubt 2 made the biggest impact in female hearts; one is Prince of Shu that is Meng Qiyou played by the man with the impossibly beautiful eyebrows, Yan Kuan and the other is Prince of Northern Han that is Liu Liancheng (you can call him Durian City if you want) played by the man with the impossibly beautiful long eyelashes, Wallace Huo. It was to me one of the most beautiful introduction, everything I ever need to know about Liu Lian Cheng, I knew in that 5 minutes of his intro, from his dislike of the idea of being a crown prince to his disgust at having to be there at Chu Kingdom and his dissatisfaction at his I suppose royal lineage. That to me is subtlety at its best. I am sure she will sound shrilly in her real voice but you cant take away the effectiveness of the visuals you see. I feel the series is left down as much as by the story as it is by the shoddy editing. I dont really watch a lot of her series. Under his rule, he almost lost his kingdom.

Like I said, I heard grumblings why Ruby Lin is the leading lady. I watched this series for him. I will say she should have killed herself by episode 2, that way Qiyou can happily marry Liansi and strengthen his rule, Liancheng might love Xiangyun back and her creepy brother would not have lived to do the evil things he did. Yes, she did all that to gain Lianchengs attention but the thing is Lianchengs attention, already shifted to Fuya is only attracted to those who are genuinely good to him without any hidden agenda. I always thought Qiyou loved Mei more than as a mother; there were plenty of suggestions he was in love with her but the series never took up that suggestion which is to me such a pity. The more you know about Lian Cheng, the more perplexed youre with him. +$12.00 shipping. I mean some even argued it is illogical in the first place when we have essentially most of the hot guys (young and old) running after Ruby Lin, who essentially is older than the 2 leading actors by a few years. PerformanceI am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is not the greatest actor ever. If it is the girls, maybe dont watch. Wallace didnt hold back; the scenes he has with the actress Hong Xiaoling as ma Xiangyun were difficult to watch. He cries beautifully but not to divert attention from another gorgeous man that is Yan Kuan, I shall speak more of him later. In fact everybodys costume whilst lovely, their hair is a problem, especially Xiang Yuns Marge Simpson hairstyle and yet Fuya, her hairstyle is the sanest, except for the testicles hairstyle. What better than some huge crush on your own mom eh? My post on Wallace Huo which touches a bit on his performance as Liu Liancheng at here (part 1) and here (part 2). If he had forced his daughter to marry someone for the sake of strengthening his rule, he wouldnt have suffered his end. He sends her away out of affection, not wanting her embroiled in the political struggle but as she sees it, she isnt even fit to die for him or with him like Fuya will. Oh and also a reason to watch is why TVB could not have given some capable TVB actress a role like Kara Hui is given. But back to wallace.

It was awful. She is also inconsistent. His heart is hurt so deep, so callously, that to discover that he fell for Fuya is like he realises his heart is actually alive and well. No mother and child have such magnified problems than this pair. But the single best scene of his and THE ENTIRE SERIES has to be the scene where he is alone in his study, having drawn a picture of Concubine Mei and his mother saw what he did, rushes him and went on to scream at him, made him kneel down and vent her anger at him by repeatedly flogging him as he winced in pain. If someone else takes the back position, she will be subordinate to others without the support of a (strong qiang) natal family. And even in death he looked at Fuya.

It isnt, except when the main important characters die, logic went with them. Im planning on watching this for Yan Kuan, I liked him in Schemes of a Beauty. But I feel by that time the series was about to end and whatever character development, it just didnt matter anymore. I realised afterwards, that you might have answered my question in your review, but I only skimmed it and avoided too many spoilers since I hadnt watched it yet. In front of the dark red palace gate, there are forbidden guards holding needles guarding the sides, and the magnificent golden wall ! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Here he has more role. Second marriage gave her shelter to heal her broken heart. I read in forums a detailed explanation by the screenwriter on what makes Lian Cheng the Lian Cheng we see, plus the fact a few episodes were edited out. At that point I was numbed by how many Ma Fuya killed by not really killing them with her own bare hands but rather with her love. No ratings or reviews yet. Only Yan Kuan of all the actors I have seen can vomit blood so elegantly, so beautifully, so effectively. And Lianxi loves Liancheng and would do anything for him. She met him when she was at her happiest time and she isnt in a rush to marry. His best crying scene has to be when he was by the river, munching on the persimmon cake and left tear down, then right tear down as he wonders why wont Fuya love him. Funn Lin thank you and I love you. Episode 1 47m After her evil uncle Jing entraps her, Princess Fuya is deemed guilty of a felony and is sentenced to be beheaded. The joke is she killed the man she loved. Imperial concubines, kept by emperors in the Forbidden City, were traditionally guarded by eunuchs to ensure that they could not be impregnated by anyone but the emperor. Her life is perfect until one coup by her dastardly uncle, father of Xiangyun ended her fathers life, supposedly her mothers life, separated her from her younger brother who was then rescued by a weird fellow who abused him for many years and she herself nearly lost her life. They were close as children since they grew up together but at some point Qiyou became cold towards him but that was after he found out Mei whom he loved very much on her deathbed asked her husband to make Qiyun Emperor and not Qiyou. Sun Xi as Muo Chou is kind of a pointless character. She does have good taste in men by the way. Legend has it, imperial Concubine Yang Kuei-fei - the most beautiful woman in Chinese history - used it for her facial care. In fact everyone loves Fuya except for 3 or 4 people. I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. Maybe because she knows she has Concubine Han and her brother Han Ming behind her back but for a maid she is really 100% fail. However the lyrics to all songs are meaningful and well written with memorable melody. The doors are opened, guards are outside, he is in chains and still they can manage to have sex without alerting anyone. Vaguely, she already understood that Huan Chuyou probably wasn't happy either. I shall say as a producer, Ruby was exemplary in her taste in costumes, her picks in the actors and the locations. But on screen, somehow her personality is dimmed, sometimes she seems like a total airhead when I know she isnt, giving me an impression she is not terribly bright and she almost always manages to make you hate the character she plays, save for Zhiwei which you will hate in part 2 later on. She has the grace, the elegance to play a princess. With the delayed broadcast of season 3, Ruby addresses speculations that the finale is being re-filmed. The silliest hairstyles has to be the Northern Han with the high tail hair or testicles hair. Look soft and cozy and also hot and heavy. Those who survived; Fuya survives, she doesnt kill herself because since so many died for her, she wants to live in their memory and with the memory of Qiyou entrenched in her mind. Competent on a good day, terribly inadequate in most and absolutely horrid on her worst day. If she showed him too much love, her husband knowing she is from powerful family, and Qiyou being very bright, will threaten him and he also want to put Qiyun as emperor. This is one mother who should have killed herself rather than burden her daughter by her very existence. She doesnt go beyond that. when Liancheng hit her? "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" is a 2011 Chinese drama series directed by Lin Feng and George Leung. Most often asked question by meEmpress Du, why wont you love Qiyou back?. She is pretty; she was Zhiwei in Huan Zhu Ge Ge, damn it!! After that no more such scene, so I was like why Qiyun suddenly want to become emperor and then promptly forgot about his own suggestion? Never once, which is something Liancheng realises as well. All the pretense, the fakery, all is her need to provoke him to do something.

Liansis baby died from poison put by Fuya but through bees released by Duyun. But the dubber chosen for Wallace has a similar voice as Wallace, except accent is more neutral. She plays her as someone who loves her husband so much and yet is so disappointed in him. No explanation but I like the big fur. I enjoyed Wallaces performance when he is alone, when he is with his co-stars except for when he is with Hong Xiaoling because I dont like that actress. How come she doesnt have such a challenging role in TVB, always playing the wife, the mother, the auntie but not someone like Du Fei Hong? That makes Liancheng a better Emperor. And poor Qiyou, not even Fuya, RUNNN!!!!!. No one does it better, and he did everything with style. This is a man who understands love but doesnt know how to love properly as opposed to Meng Qiyou. Maybe she hated him? He must have loved her once because she keeps holding onto her love for him but when Concubine Mei her own maid appeared whatever love he had for her went to the maid. Best actionVomiting blood. The mistress of Qiyou at the beginning is sent away to live as a mistress for someone rich and will give her the protection and comfort she needs, as according to Qiyou but the point is she wants Qiyou but Qiyou doesnt want her. Whilst I may joke about the fur on the Northern Han royal family, it does enhance the looks of the actors except why do they still wear the fur in Shu?! But seriously, the worst has to be her face and the way she delivers her lines. But I suppose that suits her character; if she is so likeable how can you go YEAH! Xie Zhiwei held her chopsticks and lowered her head. My surprise for that scene is why didnt Fuya slap him and drag Liansi out? For me he uses her for his own gain. What more can I say? With his heart in mind, Chu Guogong asked Mrs. Chu to go to the palace to see him when he returned home, and talked to Chu Xiang about the stakes (guan) of this matter. When he was born he was snatched away to be taken care by his mean fathers favourite concubine, Mei. And yes, to the hitting point. The site is secure. He is supposed to be a few years younger than Wang Lins Concubine Han but when theyre together he looks like he is at least 2 decades younger. Why he did what he did to the woman he clearly loved? In many stories, the concubines were taken by force and sold into their life but this was not always the case. At that moment I really pitied Liancheng. Wallace Huo is to me the reason why HDTV is created. He hated Lian Chengs mother who killed his own mother years before. Should be.

PerformancesGenerally, pretty good supporting performances by all 3, even if Tony Yang looks weird as some poison sect chieftain look. As the mother and concubine said, don't add trouble to the emperor at this time. And yes, he appears for the first few episodes, disappeared for a long time, comes back once in a while and then the last few episodes were mostly him. I wouldnt mind Yan Kuans accent be used. Yes he does kiss like he is puffing into her mouth (that is Hong Xiaoling). Mao Zijun as Ma Duyun is actually quite a competent actor. Empress of Chu died by falling to her death, accidentally pushed by Yunzhu who was deliberately pushed byDuyun? It is just her face; I dont find her appealing at all. I read in many forums that she should have been Fuya. Even when he felt disappointed with Liancheng, he always came back and to help Liancheng. Maybe overact is wrong word, I will say being way too dramatic in certain gestures or too deliberate in the way he moves around, especially the over shaking of his head. I didnt feel sorry for him at all. I know of Wallaces fans or other fans who skipped all parts except for Lianchengs scenes. Not to say it is that stupid.

In short, I watched the first 2/3 parts because it was a grand production and all the guys are hotbut even the abundance of hot guys couldnt save it in the end. I like the fact that he is somewhat a mysterious figure when it comes to his feelings and the way he thinks. Bravo! She does display all the necessary traits of Liansi the character. Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. Since this is not his love story. The drama has a total of 63 episodes. I saw this actress again in Empresses In The Palace and she looked so different which shows a good actress than morph their face.

He treats her with sincerity but she remains unmoved; she in fact plotted to free her beloved behind his back all along. Why waste time on such unconnected scene? For Fuya, she feels suffocated with him, and yet when she tenderly touches him when he doesnt notice it, you will think perhaps if if he had saved her first when she first came to Nothern Han, they could have been a beautiful couple. I always remember him as that despicable 9th prince in Yongzheng Wang Chao. I feel if Qiyou had been better written post Du Fei Hong, he would have been an enjoyable character to watch because he would be most tragic of all heroes. She plays her as someone who craves her sons love so much and yet did more to hurt him because of such huge bitterness in her. However her character is supposed to illicit sympathy with her tragic end but I feel rather cold towards her because she made things so difficult that would have to be her end. Whatever you have read about the synopsis, chuck it out because it aint the same. This is a classic example of a story that just couldnt go on logically.
