Even his moms death too longer. She has never been a good actress. I thought no way! Rubys performance in itself is a travesty for the most part.

Anyways, it wasnt meant to be flippant. He has epic eyebrows, beautifully shaved I suppose you can say that. . However I did not like this character at first when he seems overly concerned over Fuya. It took some time for her to appear but when she does, her character kept getting better and better and she filled the void Liancheng left behind and when she died, basically this series died along because the other characters were not interesting enough to dominate or sustain a scene. No ratings or reviews yet. Liancheng is not easy person to like at all and what he did to Fuya is wrong without any reason at all. And then he became the first and foremost reason, until I decided my heart can have 2 men at one go although Wallace (oh how my heart flutters) remains numero uno since then. He looks arrogant and is cold and calculating, but he is really soft-hearted and gentle underneath. It's based on the novel of the same name by Murong Yin Er. But even if she didnt love Yan Kuans character, she might never have fallen for Wallaces either. All the pretense, the fakery, all is her need to provoke him to do something. Sowhats that word.. so.. amateur! Uncategorized. Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. Past his icy cold and calculative demeanor, he is gentle, warm and passionate .

Showed little affection? Therefore is the completion of Meng Qiyou, unloved, unwanted, the unluckiest man, ever. Fair comments? So the question is before. I was never a Taiwan drama fan so I never knew of his existence although I heard of the tale of 2 Wallaces. I cant fault her in all that. Cast Ruby Lin as Ma Fu Ya / Pan Yu (Lady Yuan) However even if the series went nonsensical after her death, prior to that, Yan Kuan was a joy to watch. Compare this to Meng Qixing, Qiyous full blood brother who in the most important time abandoned Qiyou and even wanted Qiyou dead. Such a coward. He made Qiyou crown prince to bid his time to later remove him and install Qiyun and she made sure he de-crowned him so to speak because she knew sooner or later her husband will dispose of Qiyou. And let me talk about that sex scene later on because it is a must to talk about. PerformanceYan Kuan is a weaker actor than Wallace Huo, in the sense he is less big movements, less emotional on his face. I didnt feel sorry for him at all. I thought if this was his real voice, it sounded like someone 5 inches shorter than Yan Kuan. 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. 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. If she advises C, he will do D. Basically everything she says or does, he will do opposite and say opposite. I like the fact that he had no reason for his betrayal to Fuya.

My surprise for that scene is why didnt Fuya slap him and drag Liansi out? My theory of this series is almost everyone is killed by Ma Fuya, whether by her actions or by her hands and the rest are either killed by Ma Xiangyun or Ma Duyun. Her love is deadly. 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. 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 am sure Wallace has his background at the back of his mind when acting in certain ways, such background not available to us viewers since the snip snip happy editing and all. At that moment I really pitied Liancheng. After he died, the series had one more character to rely on but when she died, everything crumbles. If he had forced his daughter to marry someone for the sake of strengthening his rule, he wouldnt have suffered his end.

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. This series suffers from character development because a better part of this series is used to develop the characters of Liancheng, Qiyou and Du Feihong. I like to think at the end they married one another. An example of data being processed may be a unique identifier stored in a cookie. A very despicable man. 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. The entire death scene made it out as if he was being pushed as a pawn in the struggle for power. She succeeds. I find her sudden cheerfulness after Qiyou died so alarming that I was thinking he didnt die! She screamed Why wont you love me like you love her? Not only do I hate her face, I hate her performance.

It involves you, it engages you, it makes you wonder and it makes you feel for certain core characters which is what it is meant to do. And she exemplifies the need for dubbing to enhance a performance rather than to just hide a flaw and give a false perception. The site is secure. In this series, she is at times ok, at times competent but mostly seriously inadequate. 2. 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. But the dubber chosen for Wallace has a similar voice as Wallace, except accent is more neutral. 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. The silliest hairstyles has to be the Northern Han with the high tail hair or testicles hair. FU!!

MNCVisionID 69.5K subscribers Ma Fuya (Ruby Lin) is a princess of the Chu state in 10th-century imperial China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Her characters almost always come off as pretentious or rather to be exact, meant well but destroys things in the end. 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. Suyao is executed for being a spy. Maybe because he looked arrogant, maybe because I felt Ma Fuya should be with Liu Liancheng, seeing Qiyou as a competition. But the one thing he does best is his very expressive eyes. 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. The one factor I love most is the males headgear which I wrote about here (19.03.2012) . 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. 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. She is just the weird white haired extra faithful servant of Empress Du. His character is flawed. I dont really watch a lot of her series. But the accent is again neutral. When Fuya refused his advances, he threatened her that he will kill Qiyou if she refuses him. Why he did what he did to the woman he clearly loved? I think I have covered all the important deaths.

He is also probably the one man immuned to Fuyas charm and tried to kill her several times. It was beyond that of a father to daughter thing. 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. 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. 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. 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. But for a potentially disgusting character, Wallace gave Liu Liancheng layers that he slowly peels and sometimes you see the worst of him and yet sometimes you see the best of him and most often than not, he gave such a layered performance that you will start wondering why Liu Liancheng is the way he is. She shared an unexpected headache having to arrange food trucks to be delivered to set from friends of her cast of actors! 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. However the lyrics to all songs are meaningful and well written with memorable melody. Best SceneAll his scenes with Kara Hui. Basically, The Drop Dead Gorgeous Imperial Concubine, Qing Shi to describe a woman so gobsmackingly beautiful. She does have good taste in men by the way.

Besides, the younger sister is still in the palace, she is the imperial concubine, and the next step is the queen. There were no romance between him and Fuya because quite obviously, that would be very very wrong. His own father later de-crowned him as the Crown Prince and never loved him. Here are five concubines whose relationships and exploits have helped shape the country. She plays her as someone who loves her husband so much and yet is so disappointed in him. 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. He hated Lian Chengs mother who killed his own mother years before. He is abusive to her, physically when he hits her, mentally when he ignores her and emotionally when he refuses to return her love.
