Having no reason draws me to him. So she sees him as her best friend. The first marriage protected her from being executed with her family. Hao Luofan as Xiaoxingan. Netflix. Meanwhile Liancheng searches for her for years and continues to ignore his wife, Xiangyun whom he know pushed Fuya down the cliff and hated her since. Even his moms death too longer. Such words are interchangeable between the 2. Even in her death, she wanted to follow him for eternity. She is not a bad mother but she had to be one to safeguard her sons and the one son she wanted desperately for him to love her is Qiyou who also desperately want her to love him until at one point he just gave up. To view the purposes they believe they have legitimate interest for, or to object to this data processing use the vendor list link below. Yes Liancheng is abusive but this woman, she so craves contact with his skin that she provokes him into hitting her. The entire death scene made it out as if he was being pushed as a pawn in the struggle for power. And even then when she buried the flower she poignantly said she hopes to meet him again in next life where she will love him. Wallacehe is just too pretty for me to really take seriously, I dont know why. "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" is a 2011 Chinese drama series directed by Lin Feng and George Leung. Since this is not his love story. The heartbreaking reconciliation on her death bed, the pain every time he thinks in her eyes he is never good enough. Anyway just an observation or rather my failed attempt in prolonging this review. Episode 1 47m After her evil uncle Jing entraps her, Princess Fuya is deemed guilty of a felony and is sentenced to be beheaded. However her acting is another matter altogether. She just appears to be an obstacle for Qiyou and Fuya and by which time the series have already gone one circle over beloved woman vs not beloved woman that is in Nothern Han. The songs are nice but she should have let someone better to sing those songs rather than monopolise the songs and in effect made a fool of herself as a singer. 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. Also the fact that I know Northern Han is very cold hence the fur coat. Liancheng is not easy person to like at all and what he did to Fuya is wrong without any reason at all. His character is flawed. However the writer seems obsessed with Ma Fuya and since she is the least interesting character, the entire series went belly up after Du Fei Hong died. When Fuya refused his advances, he threatened her that he will kill Qiyou if she refuses him. I will however attempt a short brief summary, about 6 pages will be it. 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. Best sceneShe has a best scene which is the only part I feel Ruby Lin displayed some resemblance of an acting performance and that was when she discovered Lianchengs was the cause of her kingdoms downfall and she screams and cries as he held her and she looked at him with hatred and anger. Then theres Xiangyuns father who never loved his own daughter. CharacterThere are plenty of hot men in this series and when I say hot men, even the old ones are handsome. Yan Kuan is a beautiful man, but prone to imperfection as in bloated face and all. CharactersLiu Lianxi is Lianchengs half brother but he loves this half brother like blood brother. In fact everyone in here makes life difficult for themselves. I cant take the full show as it is too tragic but its not bad in small doses. Episode 2 She never killed Mei I think, I am not sure. 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. Selfish, vain and as bitter as anyone else, she hated Ma Fuya. and indeed that was the fate of her character) is competent. The single most despicable character in this entire series who supposedly loves Concubine Mei so much and so loves Qiyun the most but in the end you will realise he only loves himself. His lips was smacked with red lipstick which pretty much shows how intense he was with her. Third marriage saved her people but killed the man she loved. She spent her life protecting her and there was some pride when she saw him become emperor. This page was last edited on 12 April 2023, at 14:12. And yes the look he gave her veiled face before the kiss started was his worst performance in this series, way too much acting there that I cringed but when the kiss started and ended with him shocked and on the floor, what I love is the attention to details. I didnt like the hairstyle for most though I like the ornaments. This series stirs up emotion that TVB cant. 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. He is cowardly as he is scheming as he is scary as he is not very bright. His own father later de-crowned him as the Crown Prince and never loved him. In his anguish there is a bit of reluctance, a certain sense of affection. I couldnt believe an eunuch dared scold the Emperor but we are to suppose this emperor is a family oriented guy and treats this eunuch as his brother. Acting for Two: Ruby Lin plays both Fu Ya and Consort Mei. 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. Director: Lin Feng [] Country: Chinese Status: Completed Released: 2011 Genre: Drama ; Historical ; Romance ; Tragedy ; Chen Bing Qiang (1990) Miao Hai Zhong (1968) Hito Du (1987) He understood her but he can never accept her actions. But despite my criticisms on many critical points, I was entertained. A very despicable man. The sets seem familiar. 2:23. Both songs, theme and end songs are sung by Ruby and from the moment she sang the 1st note until the very last, she was off key. She could have sincerely treated those around her but she chose to manipulate, to cheat, to lie, to pretend. Operative word is good because when he became emperor, he fell into the same trap like his father did, by overly preferring one woman over the other causing the other to feel hurt and resentment, inability to make good decisions. 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. Ma Fuya is a princess of the Chu state in 10th-century China. Heartfelt and sincere. Qiyun is Qiyous half brother whose mother is Mei. He is tall, well built and looks like a man should. She has the grace, the elegance to play a princess. Like I said, I heard grumblings why Ruby Lin is the leading lady. Because Mao Zijun as Ma Duyun is simply not interesting enough to hold my attention. He is that beautiful and his performance whilst not spectacular and perfect, it is great enough to leave a lasting impression. And poor Qiyou, not even Fuya, RUNNN!!!!!. I don't want to, but I just can't stand it. If she advises C, he will do D. Basically everything she says or does, he will do opposite and say opposite. Lucky her because she got to caress him, touch him, all sorts of things. His mother then rejected him again and again despite everything he does. Kang Qunzhi as Lin Muyi, Empress of Chu. Under his rule, he almost lost his kingdom. The novel of the same title by Murong Yan Er which apparently does not have any resemblance with this series except for the core characters. But his eyes is like synced with his eyebrows. I like to think at the end they married one another. She shared an unexpected headache having to arrange food trucks to be delivered to set from friends of her cast of actors! It just means he is a weaker actor. 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. Her favourite lineMA!!!.. Forced to flee her home after being betrayed and losing everything she loved, she bravely ventures on the path to restoring her kingdom with the help of the mysterious Meng Qiyou, the unfavored prince of Shu. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine S1. PerformancesGenerally, pretty good supporting performances by all 3, even if Tony Yang looks weird as some poison sect chieftain look. It was a fantastically acted scene and a great scene as well. The story may suck after a while, Ruby Lin an eyesore when it comes to acting, many actors simply will not do such as Hong Xiaoling who is an even worse eyesore than Ruby Lin, it is still a commendable effort by 1st time producer Ruby Lin who gave us some interesting casting decision that is what drives this series in the end. But she still had Qiyou until her husband cruelly took him away from her, and her bitterness also spill over to Qiyou because Qiyou unknowingly whilst trying to win her favours also grew close to Mei and she hated Mei. Anger, pain, happiness, doubt, everything. As she hides in Shu, the crown prince of Northern Han, Liu Liancheng who has an unrequited love for Fuya, searches for her desperately. Whatever stupidity I see on screen, Wallace Huos beauty blinded me from the obvious flaws and made me think this series is great. In here we have her expressions and she is very expressive. Compare this to Meng Qixing, Qiyous full blood brother who in the most important time abandoned Qiyou and even wanted Qiyou dead. No she is not. She must like blue; so much blue. Liu Tao I believe is the actress who plays Qiyous courtesan/mistress. Miao Haojun as Hua Ziqiao, eunuch Hua of Chu. Please allow a few minutes for this process to complete. I thought he gave an amazing performance as the cowardly Qixing. Whilst Wallaces Liancheng also has issues with his own mother, you can see Liancheng is more in control whilst for Qiyou, he is not in control of anything at all. The actor is ok but it is the character I cant stand. Past his icy cold and calculative demeanor, he is gentle, warm and passionate . Concubine Han died by poison from Fuya. She is a conflicted woman. She wanted at first to have his gentleness but when she didnt get it, she so crave for him, she will accept his roughness. I will spare you the suspense. In fact his father never loved anyone but himself. Her husband makes it a point to ignore her. Ma Fuya is left an orphan, and she escapes with the help of a eunuch. Lianxi becomes the emperor of Northern Han as he promised Dugu to rule well and marries no one we know of. She just looks wide eyed, innocent, etc. 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. Ever seen kissing scenes? Best action(s)Lianxi and his trademark furrowed look. He is emotionless only because he shut his heart. I wouldnt mind Yan Kuans accent be used. His infatuation for Fuya brings out the worse in him as he secretly resorts to questionable means to gain her love and have her by his side. Quite an elegant performance even if rather.. underused. On her journey, she is caught up in the affections of two supreme rulers, Qi You (Yan Kuan), the ruler of the Kingdom of Shu, and Lian Cheng (Wallace Huo), the ruler of the . She is pretty; she was Zhiwei in Huan Zhu Ge Ge, damn it!! Empress of Chu died by falling to her death, accidentally pushed by Yunzhu who was deliberately pushed byDuyun? In fact he has my vote as the most pitiful character ever to grace the TV. I find her sudden cheerfulness after Qiyou died so alarming that I was thinking he didnt die! Of course when Du Fei Hong died, Qiyou became bland, because he was only concerned with Ma Fuya and the love aspect. However whilst you can blame her for making a total mess out of the series towards the end, my gut feeling is the director and the person editing fell asleep on the job. Her dubbed voice enhanced her performance when her real voice might irritate me and make me hate Du Fei Hong. I feel the series is left down as much as by the story as it is by the shoddy editing. It isnt, except when the main important characters die, logic went with them. Point is why she wont love his back is simply because she fell for another in the times (3 years? His own blood brother later abandoned him and wished him dead. And Kara Hui proves to me I shouldnt be biased to dubbed voices.

Showed little affection? Or maybe I can but that will take a whole lot gigabytes for me to explain, which I wont do simply because it hurts to relive those moments. Download all drama series in Full HD. My surprise for that scene is why didnt Fuya slap him and drag Liansi out? It is to me the same complex problem as posed by TVB male characters wearing jackets even in the house or the fact that female characters never let go of their handbags, ever. In other happier scenes with his beloved Fuya, Wallace shows his tenderness and yet you can see in his little gestures, his eyes, his face that he knows this woman doesnt love him. Duwan dies being strangled, so her baby dies in her, by Concubine Han. A story that follows Zhu Yuan Zhang's fourth son, Zhu Di, who fought many battles from a young age that aided him in his journey to become a qualified military commander ondemandchina.com. And for all the reasons above, I highly recommend this series to you. No comment on this character which is sorta pointless and no comment on the actress whom I feel looks rather weird but gave a credible performance. I find Fuyas treatment of Liancheng like as if she is using him. Release year: 2011. Competent on a good day, terribly inadequate in most and absolutely horrid on her worst day. I thought she was lovely though new in Huan Zhu Ge Ge, she was absolutely horrid in Qing Sheng Sheng Yu Mong Mong/Romance In The Rain and cant remember the rest. A sitting princess has everything taken away from her by her power-hungry uncle, but can she get it all back? For me Wallace Huo made my day. PerformanceI am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is not the greatest actor ever. You could read my post by post in my errr post since if I were to write a recap this review will be too long. If there is one reason why you must watch this complete mess of a series, one reason is the melancholic gentle beauty that is Wallace Huo and the other for the powerful bitter woman that is Kara Hui. Wallace with his beautiful melancholic face certainly fits all those scenes well and gave those difficult scenes justice. In fact I think I would love her to be a friend of mine because she seems rather forthright as a person with a great big personality. ! and he answers back as he again I believe vomits blood Because you were never a mother to me and it was such a heartbreaking scene. But at Chu which is not that cold or Shu which is spring, why do Lian Cheng and Liansi respectively wear the same thick fur coat? So I've gotten through 39 episodes of GIC and now there are only three left, and I have to stop! Best SceneAll his scenes with Kara Hui. He is cold only because he pretends to be. When he was born he was snatched away to be taken care by his mean fathers favourite concubine, Mei. For Forbidden City concubines in imperial China, beauty was more a curse than a blessing. PerformanceYan Kuan is a weaker actor than Wallace Huo, in the sense he is less big movements, less emotional on his face. 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. NO WAY! English title: The Glamorous Imperial Concubine. I cant remember but Duyun killed her. Fuya and Xiangyun are supposed to be great dancers but there is nothing graceful. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine <> also known as Qing Shi Huang Fei or Introduction Of A Princess Mainland China Drama, 2011 Genre: Historical Fiction Number of Episodes: 44 Title Means Basically, The Drop Dead Gorgeous Imperial Concubine, Qing Shi to describe a woman so gobsmackingly beautiful. For one, Liu Lian Cheng is a conflicted character that will seize and demand your attention and make you love and hate him and to Wallaces credit, he did not hold back. She is terribly annoying and she plays her part well. Ma Fuya is a princess of the Chu state in 10th-century imperial China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. I was like seriously? And in the end even his death was so meaningless and uneventful; trying to save Fuya, he got struck by arrows and fell into the lake. For the others, no particular scene stood out for me. It's based on the novel of the same name by Murong Yin Er. I saw this actress again in Empresses In The Palace and she looked so different which shows a good actress than morph their face. What better than some huge crush on your own mom eh? I feel no love for Fuya, feel no pity. Rachel Lee, Leila Tong, and more actresses were groped during filming. It was first aired in China on HBS on 30 September 2011.[2]. But yet somehow you get the feeling of a desperate soul trapped in a desperately unhappy situation and later on in a worser still circumstances; marrying the woman you know hurt the woman you love and so you hate that woman, unable to accept her. And she exemplifies the need for dubbing to enhance a performance rather than to just hide a flaw and give a false perception. This is one mother who should have killed herself rather than burden her daughter by her very existence. Poor Liancheng cuckolded. Just imagine youre Liancheng; at last you think youre free from her but in actual fact, her spirit will follow you to eternity. Fu Ya bravely takes on the quest of avenging her family and restoring her kingdom, no matter the cost. An example of data being processed may be a unique identifier stored in a cookie.
