Fu Ya bravely takes on the quest of avenging her family and restoring her kingdom, no matter the cost. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fu Ya's uncle usurps the throne, and brutally wipes out her family. She lived not like a widow; worse, she lived like she was all alone. Back to Fuya, once in Shu Kingdom she realises that mysterious man is Meng Qiyou, eldest prince in the Kingdom of Shu except he was once a crown prince but pushed off his position by his formidable mother Empress Du Fei Hong who installed instead his own much younger Qixing. 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. 2nd place is Wallace Huo. 1. Most often asked question by meEmpress Du, why wont you love Qiyou back?. But since I met Wallace Huo first and fell in love at first sight, my heart has always been with Liu Liancheng, through good or bad times. 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. 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 . Anger, pain, happiness, doubt, everything. Next day I watched the next episode, indeed he is dead. 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. Third marriage saved her people but killed the man she loved. In his anguish there is a bit of reluctance, a certain sense of affection. This is a classic example of a story that just couldnt go on logically. 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. Why waste time on such unconnected scene? And yet he never once attempted to kill Empress Dowage Gudu. Hao Zejia as Du Wan, niece of Empress Du. 1. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. Another reason is of course Yan Kuan. 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. This is the longest review ever! It is like she appears just so to be Qiyous confidant companion and of course she is quickly forgotten when Fuya appears. She has never been a good actress. Your review is totally entertaining, I loved every word you wrote. What she doesnt know is, Liancheng was forced to marry Xiangyun and Xiangyun pushed Fuya down the cliff. I couldnt bear to watch the last third of the show because I was so annoyed. Qiyun becomes emperor of Shu and marries no one we know of. Sun Xi as Muo Chou is kind of a pointless character. 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. This Ma Fu Ya character just rubbed me the wrong way every way. CharactersLiu Lianxi is Lianchengs half brother but he loves this half brother like blood brother. She walks in and out like it is some hotel and even had sex with him. It is terrible to write this but that is how I see the scene. 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 even then when she buried the flower she poignantly said she hopes to meet him again in next life where she will love him. However that big reconciliation scene I was hoping for never materialise. 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. These are 2 individuals who care about one another but somehow just couldnt say it. I dont know about these Mainland China actor, they have such expressive eyes. Her hee hee hee laughter got old very quick and it was annoying to the point every time she appeared I know when she will hee hee hee and I just pushed the mute button. 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. Anyway this character as he goes along shows his heart of gold. Broadcast period: 2011-Sep-30 start. He had to send his favourite mistress away. 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. After he died, the series had one more character to rely on but when she died, everything crumbles. At that moment I really pitied Liancheng. [1] Filming for the series started on 19 January 2011 in Hengdian and wrapped up on 6 April 2011. 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 was like seriously? She must like blue; so much blue. Yes Liancheng is abusive but this woman, she so craves contact with his skin that she provokes him into hitting her. 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. I hated this character and I didnt feel sad at all when she died. No mother and child have such magnified problems than this pair. 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. The battles between princes took place in the court, and the imperial concubine mothers of these princes messed around in the inner palace. I saw this actress again in Empresses In The Palace and she looked so different which shows a good actress than morph their face. ! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have seen some BTS with Wallaces original voice. But I feel by that time the series was about to end and whatever character development, it just didnt matter anymore. Download all drama series in Full HD. He is that beautiful and his performance whilst not spectacular and perfect, it is great enough to leave a lasting impression. I feel no love for Fuya, feel no pity. But there was some problem with the script; one scene Qiyun told his dad he wants to be emperor. You know, I normally dont agree with Funns reviews (sorry about that) but I thought this review was quite accurate to how I felt about this series, the parts I read anyway. His stepmother he realises never trusted him. Because any reasons given will just be an excuse and makes his character even more calculative and devious and will dishonour his love for Fuya. The only murder she did, which she rightfully did was killing her no good brother of hers when she should also kill herself because she let this evil bastard into her life and thus doomed Qiyou and Liansi. Anyway Qiyun is a good guy, a better brother who in the end became emperor when Qiyou died. It is the only time he ever talked to her, only time he ever touched her. The heartbreaking reconciliation on her death bed, the pain every time he thinks in her eyes he is never good enough. Wallace with his beautiful melancholic face certainly fits all those scenes well and gave those difficult scenes justice. Acting for Two: Ruby Lin plays both Fu Ya and Consort Mei. But weaker doesnt mean bad. Her problem is her character was like an afterthought. I watched this series for him. Trouble brews when the emperor wants Fuya for herself whilst Liancheng discovers Fuya is alive and thinking she is held against her will, he wages a war against Shu, resulting in Qiyou being imprisoned and Fuya back in the arms of Liancheng. Ruby definitely populated this series with the good looking ones who surprise surprise, can act very well. Qiyous half-brother whose mother is Meiying.

Whilst I am not a fan of his death scene since I blame Ma Fuya for it, I do like one line he spoke; Flowers do bloom in the cold Northern Han, there can be spring in Northern Han and I will always tear up a bit when he said that as I shall then do a Ma Xiangyun; MA!!! Of all the female characters in this series, I hated Fuya the most because she is the cause of everyones misery. Actor Allusion: Possibly an unintentional one. 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. I am not sure if she loved this guy or hated that guy. I actually thought no he is not dead. Synopsis. Her performance was fantastic. It was first aired in China on HBS on 30 September 2011.[2]. She is in demand. Miao Haojun as Hua Ziqiao, eunuch Hua of Chu. Never once, which is something Liancheng realises as well. and indeed that was the fate of her character) is competent. Im planning on watching this for Yan Kuan, I liked him in Schemes of a Beauty. I cant take the full show as it is too tragic but its not bad in small doses. 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. Compare this to Meng Qixing, Qiyous full blood brother who in the most important time abandoned Qiyou and even wanted Qiyou dead. Episode 1 47m. "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" is a 2011 Chinese drama series directed by Lin Feng and George Leung. Maybe in part it is Ruby Lins fault. I find her sudden cheerfulness after Qiyou died so alarming that I was thinking he didnt die! In fact everyone in here makes life difficult for themselves. Du Feihong dies of illness but the way I see it, she probably died more of heartbreak. 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. Starring Ruby Lin with Kevin Yan and Wallace Huo, it was Lin's producing debut. If just for curiosity sake, please do watch. And so starts her bitterness. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne, and brutally wipes out her family. No ratings or reviews yet. But for any Wallaces fans or would be fans, no doubt you will agree he looks great in here. Summary: Qing Shi Huang Fei is an adaptation of a novel written by Mu Rong Yan Er.Set in the chaotic and blood-stained "Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms" period, the story follows Ma Fu Ya (Ruby Lin), the beautiful princess of the Kingdom of Chu, who seeks to take revenge and revive her perished state. 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. I said DIE DIE DIE for the entire series and when she does die I was like Oh, shes dead.

Episode 1 47m After her evil uncle Jing entraps her, Princess Fuya is deemed guilty of a felony and is sentenced to be beheaded. You know the mother loves him and yet couldnt show him and he loves her but feels he didnt earn her love with whatever he does. Like he is a crushed man. White haired faithful servant of Empress Du. But Ruby Lin is no singer so you can say this decision to sing all the songs are for PR sake and maybe a bit of vanity involved. He is also probably the one man immuned to Fuyas charm and tried to kill her several times. Maybe because I am biased. After all these 2 were bound by their love for Liancheng. I swear every time I see his arms around Ruby Lin, it just felt weird. She shared an unexpected headache having to arrange food trucks to be delivered to set from friends of her cast of actors! It is just her face; I dont find her appealing at all. Fuya's best friend. Cant remember. Not to say it is that stupid. He treats her with sincerity but she remains unmoved; she in fact plotted to free her beloved behind his back all along. In here we have her expressions and she is very expressive. Funns assessment of both mens appearance was pretty accurate haha. 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. She never killed Mei I think, I am not sure. What a tragic character. No she is not. Unbelievable even in this context. I actually thought she died before him but in actual fact she was just sick. She is also inconsistent. His own father later de-crowned him as the Crown Prince and never loved him. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. Therefore is the completion of Meng Qiyou, unloved, unwanted, the unluckiest man, ever. of episodes I watched.Best thing about the drama for me is Wallace Huo! He hated her but for his brother, he put up with her and in the end when he realised she died for him, all hatred forgiven. What more can I say? This is one mother who should have killed herself rather than burden her daughter by her very existence.

And he vomits blood a lot of time in here. Empress of Chu died by falling to her death, accidentally pushed by Yunzhu who was deliberately pushed byDuyun? This is a man who understands love but doesnt know how to love properly as opposed to Meng Qiyou. 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. Sowhats that word.. so.. amateur! Qiu Shuang as Meng Qixing, Third prince of Shu. 1:36:04. The sets seem familiar. I am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is not the greatest actor ever, I think this sentence alone is wrong grammatically. Even his moms death too longer. She met him when she was at her happiest time and she isnt in a rush to marry. Qixing is stupid. Only Yan Kuan of all the actors I have seen can vomit blood so elegantly, so beautifully, so effectively. She actually left her that way. I suppose if you must have a weird guy that is Lianxi, then you must have weird girl, Muo Chou. He seems cold and evil but you cant deny these brothers are very very close. He is cowardly as he is scheming as he is scary as he is not very bright. Episode 2 Too much hurt between them, too much disappointment, too much unspoken issues. 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. Duwan dies being strangled, so her baby dies in her, by Concubine Han. She works hard and the results is all there. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine (, Qng Sh Hung Fi, also called Introduction of the Princess and Princess Dumping World) is a 2011 Chinese series starring Ruby Lin, Yan Yi Kuan and Wallace Huo. All the murders she did, all the political marriage she arranged, her turning away Fuya, etc all for the sake of giving her son a stable kingdom. Disgusting man. 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. Lianxi became my favourite character when Liancheng died because everything he does after that was for Liancheng, and he I suppose became a better ruler. This was also the reason why Liancheng hated his own mother. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine. 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. In fact if I nitpick I can point out the flaws, many of them and he has a tendency to overact in certain scenes. Release year: 2011. Ma Fuya is a princess of the Chu state in 10th-century imperial China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. And for that he is the 3rd reason why I highly recommend this series. But I must say whenever I dont see Liancheng but I see Qiyou, Qiyou was always interesting, and this was when Du Fei Hong was alive. He is abusive to her, physically when he hits her, mentally when he ignores her and emotionally when he refuses to return her love. 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. But back to wallace. The entire death scene made it out as if he was being pushed as a pawn in the struggle for power. Recommend Chinese Drama The Imperial Age. If there is a reason to watch this series, Ruby Lin the actress is not the reason. She has always been a capable actress but in here, she shows you all her expertise when it comes to acting. He would do ANYTHING for Fuya, including throwing away his kingdom. 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. The scene where he tore her clothes and forced himself on him, she protesting and yet you know she wants it. Beautifully written review, Funn. He is a fantastic actor but his problem is his death scene is too long. But if she is Fuya, she is to me pretty but too dark. My favourite scenes of hers is every time she has an argument with Liancheng, that look of utter disbelief her son would defy her for no good reason was classic. It isnt, except when the main important characters die, logic went with them.

Then theres Xiangyuns father who never loved his own daughter. 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. Funn, I started watching this series after reading your review. It was awful. Qiyou died protecting her. I assume Liansi didnt die and return to Northern Han since no news after that sick doll like scene. And her I want to revive Chu Kingdom comes and goes as and when she finds convenient. I havent seen it yet and reading this make me want to watch it.

( Log Out / Evil uncle of Fuya dies from being stabbed by Duyun. Her end though is rather sad and pointless except for one point; she has one of the more moving monologues before her death, something which poor unloved, unwanted, uncared for Qiyou does not have. And Lianxi loves Liancheng and would do anything for him. The MIA is Muo Chou.

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. And basically half of the series died when he died about 10 episodes before the end. No doubt Empress Dowager Dugu loves Liancheng. First marriage protected her from being executed with her family.
