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. Compare this to Meng Qixing, Qiyous full blood brother who in the most important time abandoned Qiyou and even wanted Qiyou dead. He had to send his favourite mistress away. This is one mother who should have killed herself rather than burden her daughter by her very existence. 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. And Lianxi loves Liancheng and would do anything for him. 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.

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. Those who survived; Han Ming retired to village to wait for Concubine Han to return to him but she never will. He initially saw Fuya as an essential chess piece to his schemes for the throne but inevitably falls in love with her and secretly shelters her from harm. I thought he gave an amazing performance as the cowardly Qixing. +$12.00 shipping. Maybe because he looked arrogant, maybe because I felt Ma Fuya should be with Liu Liancheng, seeing Qiyou as a competition.

I watched this series for him. She plays her as someone who loves her husband so much and yet is so disappointed in him. Rubys performance in itself is a travesty for the most part. Qiyous faithful eunuch Xiao Xingan dies from drinking poison given by Qixing meant for Qiyou. Heartfelt and sincere. Whilst Wallace has a sense of fragile weakness to him, Yan Kuan looks like he is strong but yet he can play a weak man as well. 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. A sitting princess has everything taken away from her by her power-hungry uncle, but can she get it all back? If she advises C, he will do D. Basically everything she says or does, he will do opposite and say opposite. He will be the 2nd reason why I highly recommend this series. Later on in the series, you will see interactions with his mother, the Empress Dowager and believe me when I say he is the King of Retorts. The last reason is simply because this series for the most part has memorable characters which are almost well written but because it is also rather long, the momentum is lost towards the end. Why waste time on such unconnected scene? And Kara Hui proves to me I shouldnt be biased to dubbed voices. It was first aired in China on HBS on 30 September 2011.[2]. His evil wife died from.. He is NOT dead because even the maid had a more spectacular death with some monologue. He looks beautiful at any angle, and mostly at extreme closeups. However that big reconciliation scene I was hoping for never materialise. She is pretty; she was Zhiwei in Huan Zhu Ge Ge, damn it!! Whilst Fuya loves him, she had to leave him too due to political reasons, twice she had to do so. Ever seen kissing scenes? Wallace with his beautiful melancholic face certainly fits all those scenes well and gave those difficult scenes justice. NO WAY! I cant fault her in all that. He studies the art of poison and did many things to help Liancheng.

Anyway, I just feel the need to speak up for Qiyou/ Yuan Kun as too much has been raved about Lian Cheng/Wallace I am kidding. So the question is before. 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. Emperor of Chu dies from poison. 2:23. He seems cold and evil but you cant deny these brothers are very very close. Ma Xiangyun is one character I never liked from the 1st time I see her. I didnt like the hairstyle for most though I like the ornaments. But dont know why, I just feel terrible for him. However the lyrics to all songs are meaningful and well written with memorable melody. Most of the time you see the same expressions, the same looks but it is the way he is not expressive that makes this character so scary.

He has good taste in women and brothers. The only song I like, sang very well by Wallace Huo although could have had more emotion is Qingshi. He is abusive to her, physically when he hits her, mentally when he ignores her and emotionally when he refuses to return her love. Funns assessment of both mens appearance was pretty accurate haha. This series stirs up emotion that TVB cant. Her acting is like so on the surface, so simplistic, so how should I put it? I have seen some BTS with Wallaces original voice. CharacterThe other man to capture my heart as the series went along is Meng Qiyou. It is such a pity the writer just doesnt know what to do with Qiyou after a while.

I never knew she was so brilliant until this performance. 276 Pins 9y M Collection by Mina Frost Wallace Huo Empress Ki Yan Imperial Academic Dress Glamour Tv Drama Films Chinese Performance wise, Dai Chunrong is an often seen veteran and remember she was the evil empress in Huan Zhu Gege? 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. These people in these palace shows rarely eat dont they? I dont really watch a lot of her series. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine.

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. For all your questions about his actions, there are no answers. 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. She didnt kill anyone; but many died for her. 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. The drama is based on a novel by the same name by Murong Yinr and marks the production debut of Ruby Lin, who also stars in the series. My surprise for that scene is why didnt Fuya slap him and drag Liansi out? Performance wise, yes Yan Kuan does seem to have a bad deal with his awful ending and less focus on him as opposed to when we see Wallace, he is almost the main focus. You can hear that in Huan Zhu Gege which gave her performance an edge over others. Since this is not his love story. She married Qixing. Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. Liu Lian Cheng is not an easy man to like but easy to love. He looks arrogant and is cold and calculating, but he is really soft-hearted and gentle underneath.

But for any Wallaces fans or would be fans, no doubt you will agree he looks great in here. This show has a strange way of turning rational persons into fan girls. Just remember, Wallace Huo cries beautifully. I actually thought she died before him but in actual fact she was just sick. And poor Qiyou, not even Fuya, RUNNN!!!!!. is there a cantonese version, otherwise i wont watch it. She just looks wide eyed, innocent, etc. I dont know about these Mainland China actor, they have such expressive eyes. Episode 2 47m Point is why she wont love his back is simply because she fell for another in the times (3 years? Why did Wallaces character never love his own wife either? Besides, his mom and dad treated him so bady, over-looking and tormenting him for his brothers for the throne while he is clearly the most capable, how can you not want to stand on his side and comfort him and cheer him on???!!! And the last one, Duyun dies after Fuya stabbed him on the neck with her hairpin. And her I want to revive Chu Kingdom comes and goes as and when she finds convenient. Then theres Xiangyuns father who never loved his own daughter. 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. No one does it better than him, the weight of the world on his shoulders and he looks like he doesnt give a damn, which is what makes his Liu Lian Cheng so irresistible. So you can imagine what the creep does next. He has this beautiful looking face and his acting as Han Ming is ok. Basically he doesnt have much to do. Synopsis. In fact he has my vote as the most pitiful character ever to grace the TV. I have no idea who he is. Best actionCrying. Well done! Episodes: 42. Best action(s)Lianxi and his trademark furrowed look.

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. Xiangyun is so busy plotting and all, she just forgot that to get to Lianchengs heart, just be nice, play nice, play fair. Past his icy cold and calculative demeanor, he is gentle, warm and passionate . Quite a huge reality check to see her so messy, so dirty and bloodied as well. However Liansis end is scary and that is because of the next character I will comment on. Mesmerising eyes. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine (Chinese: ) is a 2011 Chinese television series based on a novel of the same title by Murong Yin'er (). Set under the backdrop of the turbulent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdom period of 10th century Imperial China, follows the story of a kind and beautiful princess, Ma Fuya of Chu. Having been through hardships together for many years, Fuya fell for Qiyou whilst Qiyou too fell for Fuya and decided not to use Fuya for his own political gain whilst Fuya discovers why Qiyou chose her is because of her resemblance to his fathers favourite concubine, Concubine Mei. He is not ethereally beautiful like Wallace but he has this manly quality that I am sure fans will be divided into 2 camps; Liancheng the beautiful or Yan Kuan the handsome. In this time of warring k. It is a credit to Wallace that despite all his characters flaw, the one remaining question I have even after he died was Why wont Ma Fuya love him back?. He allowed her to visit Qiyou and guess what? of episodes I watched.Best thing about the drama for me is Wallace Huo! 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. Yes he does kiss like he is puffing into her mouth (that is Hong Xiaoling). In fact when she died I was like good riddance. Suyao is executed for being a spy. No idea what happened to her in the end. It is like 1 story at the start, another story in the middle and in the end it self disintegrated, a series so suicidal it just did itself in at the end. But why I love Wallace Huo in those scenes is because whilst he doesnt hold back in his aggression, I cant hate him, mainly because Ma Xiangyun asked for it (oh let me explain that later!) Fuya's best friend. I didnt feel sorry for him at all. It isnt, except when the main important characters die, logic went with them. She improved some in her acting, in fact compared to her out of tune singing, she should stick to acting but as compared to producing, maybe she should move on to behind the camera. Anyway just an observation or rather my failed attempt in prolonging this review. I see her so often I just got used to seeing her. One factor I dont like is the dancing. And he vomits blood a lot of time in here. This was a young man facing a personal crisis; as in being in a position he does not want, in a place he has no interest and in a situation he does not care for. Be the first to write a review. No she is not. 1:36:04. I cant believe how 1000% he is into making sure his only daughter is ok, whilst he too love his only son, but not more than his Fuya. Her voice is dubbed, thank god, and her voice dubber gave her more emotion than she showed on screen. He is attracted to Fuya because she is honest to him without asking anything in return (although I will disagree on that). She is too old for her character and I find her performance as like her character, just pretty one dimensional. and indeed that was the fate of her character) is competent.

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 am however perplexed how such a character can survive in a palace with her talkative nature and the fact she talks back, no matter who that person is. Wallace Huo is to me the reason why HDTV is created. Look, I am no fan of Ruby Lins acting, but it is understandable she should cast herself as the leading actress since she is the producer. She died much later, and even then by poison. 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. By then his father is dead, his mother is sick, his mother wants him to save Qiyou but it was Qixing himself who refuses to listen to reason. However only in rare circumstances should dubbed voice be used and with Kara Hui, it magnified her excellent performance. But of the 3, Qiu Shuang being the youngest and playing the youngest that is Qixing is the best. If there is a reason to watch this series, Ruby Lin the actress is not the reason. Where to Watch. Kang Qunzhi as Lin Muyi, Empress of Chu. He can vomit blood, cry and be angry all at the same time. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine S1.

All the pretense, the fakery, all is her need to provoke him to do something. I didnt like him at first, I dont know why I can like that melancholic abusive bastard so easily and yet it took me some time to warm up to Meng Qiyou. I am fan girling. Her love is deadly. I know the answer. I am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is the greatest actor ever? 1 Season. I will however attempt a short brief summary, about 6 pages will be it. They have quite about the same start with mothers who love them but in different way. Lucky her because she got to caress him, touch him, all sorts of things. Best performance of the year and definitely the best performance in this series. Competent on a good day, terribly inadequate in most and absolutely horrid on her worst day. Fair comments? The competition of best mother is between 2 women; Empress Dowager Dugu of Northern Han. Having no reason draws me to him. Like I said, I heard grumblings why Ruby Lin is the leading lady. I don't want to, but I just can't stand it. They have similiar backgrounds and rejection but between them, Liancheng is the luckier one. He treats her with sincerity but she remains unmoved; she in fact plotted to free her beloved behind his back all along. 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. I actually liked Qixing but towards the end he so feared death he was such a coward, I am sure you will hate him too. How a young boy who showed so much character and the appearance of a wise ruler could grow up to be such a wimp in love? He is cowardly as he is scheming as he is scary as he is not very bright.

However there is one very memorable scene with this character and that is Fuya discovering Duyun hiding Liansi on his bed, beautifully dolled up, I believe naked and she was like drugged as she calls gently for her dead child and Qiyou and the entire scene shows quite scarily what a monster Duyun is. You can say she did good things for him but the truth is if Liancheng understands love but doesnt know how to love properly, Xiangyun is someone who thinks she understands love but in the end her sort of love is those that you dont want. Basically, The Drop Dead Gorgeous Imperial Concubine, Qing Shi to describe a woman so gobsmackingly beautiful. For the others, no particular scene stood out for me. Oh it hurts! It is weird logic but if you watch this series you will understand why there is absolutely no need to justify why he did what he did.

Maybe in part it is Ruby Lin's fault. I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. 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. His mother then rejected him again and again despite everything he does. Why the woman with so much lipstick and yet the man after some hot kissing still looks bubblegum pretty on his lips? Ruby also reveals how she convinced her husband, Wallace Huo, to agree to star in the drama. This is one character who doesnt know love at all, worse than Liancheng, he just want to possess and so we can assume he rapes the conscious but drugged out Liansi. And basically half of the series died when he died about 10 episodes before the end. He understood her but he can never accept her actions. 1. No doubt Empress Dowager Dugu loves Liancheng.

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. First, she is the producer, of course she would cast herself and she is sorta famous on TV. I do have a question, because in your review you state that you dont understand why Fuya wont love Wallaces character but didnt he kill her father? I weep at the thought how he made life so difficult for himself.

For Wang Yu, frankly I feel his character is like an addition that can be taken away. With the delayed broadcast of season 3, Ruby addresses speculations that the finale is being re-filmed. However even if the series went nonsensical after her death, prior to that, Yan Kuan was a joy to watch. Anyway his one faithful maid turns out to be a traitor. If he had any, none of it would be justified. And there were plenty of suggestion of a budding romance between him and Suyao but it went nowhere. 5 year?) 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. I wrote an almost episode per episode review here with lots of pictures. I can still remember her scene flogging Yan Kuan and it looked so real that it hurts but you can also feel her anger that her son would love the other woman more than he loves her.
