She just looks wide eyed, innocent, etc. But I suppose that suits her character; if she is so likeable how can you go YEAH! Remember, Wallace Huo from Taiwan and not Wallace Chung from HK (TVB fans will remember his sorta debut as Kenny Bee in that autobiography (NOT) of Wynners many many years ago). 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. 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? He would have been Legolas if he was younger. The second marriage gave her shelter to heal her broken heart. of episodes I watched.Best thing about the drama for me is Wallace Huo! In his anguish there is a bit of reluctance, a certain sense of affection. Qixing and his trademark running away like some stray chicken whenever he feels threatened. But the real problem with Ruby is she is a likeable person off screen, she seems like those great friends you must have and all that with her constant laughter and jovial personality and she is beautiful. 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. Ruby also reveals how she convinced her husband, Wallace Huo, to agree to star in the drama. 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. And Lianxi loves Liancheng and would do anything for him. Most often asked question by meEmpress Du, why wont you love Qiyou back?. It just means he is a weaker actor. I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. Like I said, there is similarity between Qiyou and Liancheng. Hao Luofan as Xiaoxingan. And I love that scene. And in that final moment, even the writer, editor, director, producer all have abandoned him. 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. 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. Voice actorHated the voice at first. Her mother, her father, her husband, everyone and still she manages to keep her hands clean. She succeeds. Yang Kai Chun as the annoying maid Yun Zhu was effective if annoying is what she is meant to be. 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. He looks beautiful at any angle, and mostly at extreme closeups. Emperor of Shu dies from same poison as Emperor of Chu.

Fans are excited to see Liu Yifei work with Wallace Huo in a new romance drama. PerformancesGenerally, pretty good supporting performances by all 3, even if Tony Yang looks weird as some poison sect chieftain look. He didnt ask for that marriage, he didnt ask for many things in his life, he is one could say left with little choice. 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. She does display all the necessary traits of Liansi the character. Actor Allusion: Possibly an unintentional one. It was a fantastically acted scene and a great scene as well. The MIA is Muo Chou.

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.

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. Where to Watch. I am sure she will sound shrilly in her real voice but you cant take away the effectiveness of the visuals you see. 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. Empress Du Fei Hong is, I am willing to admit why this series rocks. 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. Poor woman. Zheng Kai is seriously hot. Also Fuya is supposed to be so damn nice that it all came across as unfeeling, unpretentious. I was in fact rather shocked with her looks when she was in prison, about to be executed. Should be. HDTV is not for him in those scenes. is there a cantonese version, otherwise i wont watch it. Liancheng is not easy person to like at all and what he did to Fuya is wrong without any reason at all. 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. Why he did what he did to the woman he clearly loved? 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. She never killed Mei I think, I am not sure. Maybe because I am biased. 2011; Drama; History; 12. Maybe because he looked arrogant, maybe because I felt Ma Fuya should be with Liu Liancheng, seeing Qiyou as a competition. The scene where he tore her clothes and forced himself on him, she protesting and yet you know she wants it. My question to you is, Wallace Huo is perfect handsome and all that, and yes, I do admit his rough, intense manner with the female leads are swoon-worthy, but still Yuan Kuan is so much more swoon-worthy, how can you not like him???!!! He cries beautifully but not to divert attention from another gorgeous man that is Yan Kuan, I shall speak more of him later. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine ( Chinese: ) is a 2011 Chinese television series based on a novel of the same title by Murong Yin'er (). Ending theme song: Qing Ting Wo () by Ruby Lin.

If he had any, none of it would be justified. 29. Maybe he knows he will be dubbed so he didnt care about how he sounded accent wise. I didnt like this series because of Rubys character. I always remember him as that despicable 9th prince in Yongzheng Wang Chao. Genre: Historical, romance. Her voice has always been her biggest weakness, shrilly and high so when her voice got dubbed by a formidable voice dubber, it became a perfect merger. Lending support to wife Ruby Lins production, it has been 2 years since the actor last appeared onscreen! This page was last edited on 12 April 2023, at 14:12. He deluded himself into taking he could make her love him but yet he doesnt make her love him by forcing her. I am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is the greatest actor ever? He is abusive to her, physically when he hits her, mentally when he ignores her and emotionally when he refuses to return her love. I wouldnt mind Yan Kuans accent be used. When Fuya refused his advances, he threatened her that he will kill Qiyou if she refuses him. 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. 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 is the eagle prince in Bu Bu Jing Xin. Competent on a good day, terribly inadequate in most and absolutely horrid on her worst day. Fuya's faithful family maid. Drama. I shall say as a producer, Ruby was exemplary in her taste in costumes, her picks in the actors and the locations. All the pretense, the fakery, all is her need to provoke him to do something. He has this beautiful looking face and his acting as Han Ming is ok. Basically he doesnt have much to do. Since this is not his love story. Anyway this character as he goes along shows his heart of gold. But first, let me say why I love this series. 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. 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 problem is her character was like an afterthought. That is basically what Qing Shi Huang Fei is. I will however attempt a short brief summary, about 6 pages will be it. She was then rescused by a mysterious handsome man who wants to train her as a courtesan to seduce someone important who can help her to revive her kingdom and at this point you must suspend your disbelief that this supposedly intelligent girl would consider being a courtesan trained by a guy whom she doesnt even know all on a promise to revive her kingdom. The makeup is beautiful though and Ruby seems to pay more attention to her male leads costumes than anyone else, in particular Wallaces. Like I wrote in my recaps, all he needs now is his faithful dog running away and a bird flying by and drop some bird droppings on his head. One loyal minister of Shu died by knocking his head on some stone. This is the longest review ever! 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? She does have good taste in men by the way. And even in death he looked at Fuya. Her pain, her hurt, her anger, her frustration, all at her son and his obsession over Ma Fuya was all on her face. Anger, pain, happiness, doubt, everything. Imagine that! Third marriage saved her people but killed the man she loved. He had to marry a woman he did not love. She is just the weird white haired extra faithful servant of Empress Du. Suyao is executed for being a spy. But she fell for Qiyou because she met him at her worst time and she relied on him emotionally and physically and by that time she gave her heart to him. Episode 2 47m Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. Best Scene(s)For Tony Yang, when he held his hated enemy in his arms as she died and he cried for her not to die so soon. Please confirm you want to block this member. 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. I am fan girling. Best actionVomiting blood. Synopsis. Most often asked question by meMa Fuya, why wont you love him back?. Wang Lin as Han Zhaoyi, Emperor of Shu's consort. ( Log Out / Evil uncle of Fuya dies from being stabbed by Duyun. 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. Ma Fuya is the beloved daughter of the Emperor of Chu and is someone highly opinionated and intelligent who is also the peoples princess, beloved by all except for her jealous cousin, Ma Xiangyun who gets ignored most of the time. But there was some problem with the script; one scene Qiyun told his dad he wants to be emperor. For Wang Yu, frankly I feel his character is like an addition that can be taken away. 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. He is cold only because he pretends to be. Yes he does kiss like he is puffing into her mouth (that is Hong Xiaoling). Liansis baby died from poison put by Fuya but through bees released by Duyun. Why cant he give a chance to another who clearly loved him? Suits their personality and such careful attention given that for once I wasnt sorry for paying attention to nitty gritty details. His own father later de-crowned him as the Crown Prince and never loved 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. Fair comments? But his eyes is like synced with his eyebrows. 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. Look soft and cozy and also hot and heavy. Ma Fuya is left an orphan, and she escapes with the help of a eunuch. Not that I think highly of Fuya but I just want my Liancheng to be happy. After her evil uncle Jing entraps her, Princess Fuya is deemed guilty of a felony and is sentenced to be beheaded. 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. 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. She wanted at first to have his gentleness but when she didnt get it, she so crave for him, she will accept his roughness.

He has epic eyebrows, beautifully shaved I suppose you can say that. But I feel why his character suffer is because the writer didnt seem interested in giving him a prominent presence. ! 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. Having no reason draws me to him. Fuyas mother is forgettable but the actress is elegant. I dont think that is her real voice because her real voice is beautiful. She has always been a capable actress but in here, she shows you all her expertise when it comes to acting. 276 Pins 9y M Collection by Mina Frost Wallace Huo Empress Ki Yan Imperial Academic Dress Glamour Tv Drama Films Chinese He does have a face for extreme closeups. 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. 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. While the drama focuses on the life of madam and hostess in Taipeis nightclub, the focus is shifting to the circumstances of a murder.

Maybe in part it is Ruby Lin's fault. Her casting decision, if it is all her own is nothing short of impeccable and accurate for all the veterans and male actors, although she falters as to the younger female, probably because she doesnt want attention to be taken away from her. Starring Ruby Lin with Kevin Yan and Wallace Huo, it was Lin's producing debut. Best SceneAll his scenes with Kara Hui. He hates her, but in the end she is his mother and so there is still that bond there. If it is the story, better not. Here he has more role. Hao Zejia as Du Wan, niece of Empress Du.

The battles between princes took place in the court, and the imperial concubine mothers of these princes messed around in the inner palace. Opening theme song: Qing Shi Huang Fei () by Ruby Lin. In one night, her kingdom perished under the hands of the manipulative Ma Yi Fang, Fuyas uncle. But of the 3, Qiu Shuang being the youngest and playing the youngest that is Qixing is the best. How can these pair become such? But even if she didnt love Yan Kuans character, she might never have fallen for Wallaces either. 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. For me he uses her for his own gain. He is tall, well built and looks like a man should. However Liansis end is scary and that is because of the next character I will comment on. Wallace with his beautiful melancholic face certainly fits all those scenes well and gave those difficult scenes justice. Her voice is dubbed, thank god, and her voice dubber gave her more emotion than she showed on screen. I bet anyone who watches this series will feel pity for Kara Hui and that is why she alone will be the reason why I highly recommend this series. 2nd place is Wallace Huo. Beautifully written review, Funn. This is a man who understands love but doesnt know how to love properly as opposed to Meng Qiyou. In the end she alone alive and she didnt kill herself because as she says so many died for her, she must live her life for those who died for her. I feel the series is left down as much as by the story as it is by the shoddy editing. 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. +$12.00 shipping. 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. I know of Wallaces fans or other fans who skipped all parts except for Lianchengs scenes. It was beyond that of a father to daughter thing. She makes decision for Qiyou without first asking him. He is emotionless only because he shut his heart. Watched it because of Yan Kuan. And for that he is the 3rd reason why I highly recommend this series. I was like seriously? This review is written by Funn Lim, a Contributing Writer at JayneStars.com and was originally posted at www.point2e.com. It boils down to one problem, to me at least; I find no sincerity in Rubys performance. A sitting princess has everything taken away from her by her power-hungry uncle, but can she get it all back? I am personally, first and foremost, a Yan Kuan fan. I know the answer. I will commend Ruby on being a good producer by the looks of the costumes and all.
