the glamorous imperial concubine recap

His best scenes are with Kara Hui, and every scene he is with Kara Hui is his best performance of that episode. I see her so often I just got used to seeing her. Well done! Fuyas unborn child was killed by Duyun who pressed hard onto her stomach when she was semi conscious. He has good taste in women and brothers. 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. He understood her but he can never accept her actions. Kara Hui is AWESOME in the series. 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. Yes he does kiss like he is puffing into her mouth (that is Hong Xiaoling).

Whilst we can all argue who is the handsomest and all, no doubt 2 made the biggest impact in female hearts; one is Prince of Shu that is Meng Qiyou played by the man with the impossibly beautiful eyebrows, Yan Kuan and the other is Prince of Northern Han that is Liu Liancheng (you can call him Durian City if you want) played by the man with the impossibly beautiful long eyelashes, Wallace Huo. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. A pointless villain. A lot of TVB actors and actresses have to go to China to be challenged as an actor and most live up to that challenge because theyre already rather good actors before they left TVB. Why the woman with so much lipstick and yet the man after some hot kissing still looks bubblegum pretty on his lips? Almanac Master Huang Li Shi/Li Shi Opening [1920x1080p] Zn-Kun Anime. 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. You can hear that in Huan Zhu Gege which gave her performance an edge over others. In fact everyone in here makes life difficult for themselves. I swear every time I see his arms around Ruby Lin, it just felt weird. If he had any, none of it would be justified. Lending support to wife Ruby Lins production, it has been 2 years since the actor last appeared onscreen! She is in demand. So you can imagine what the creep does next. 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. His mother then rejected him again and again despite everything he does. That is basically what Qing Shi Huang Fei is. Fuya's friend, executed for being a spy. 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. This is a man who understands love but doesnt know how to love properly as opposed to Meng Qiyou. Maybe because he looked arrogant, maybe because I felt Ma Fuya should be with Liu Liancheng, seeing Qiyou as a competition. However even if the series went nonsensical after her death, prior to that, Yan Kuan was a joy to watch. The second marriage gave her shelter to heal her broken heart. Of course you could say Lianxi was at fault for turning an innocent boy into a monster but you know, he has a choice.. and he chose to be the monster he is. Her love is deadly. Fu Ya bravely takes on the quest of avenging her family and restoring her kingdom, no matter the cost. Qiyun becomes emperor of Shu and marries no one we know of. The other characters seem like truly supporting for some, for others merely walk on roles. He harbours unrequited romantic affections for Fuya and searches for her in vain after her kingdom's usurpation. 276 Pins 9y M Collection by Mina Frost Wallace Huo Empress Ki Yan Imperial Academic Dress Glamour Tv Drama Films Chinese The more you know about Lian Cheng, the more perplexed youre with him.

The Glamorous Imperial Concubine 2011| Maturity Rating:13+ | 1 Season| Romance An exiled princess who is loved by three emperors tries to reclaim her family's throne amid political turmoil and intrigue in 10th-century China. In his anguish there is a bit of reluctance, a certain sense of affection. 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? The doors are opened, guards are outside, he is in chains and still they can manage to have sex without alerting anyone. She is not ugly but as Yun Zhu she is supposed to be plain and eats way too much. Anyway Qiyun is a good guy, a better brother who in the end became emperor when Qiyou died. Wallacehe is just too pretty for me to really take seriously, I dont know why. 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. He has all the right expression in every scene. Poor Liancheng cuckolded. It just means he is a weaker actor. Point is why she wont love his back is simply because she fell for another in the times (3 years?

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. Deep down he is a very sad character. Mesmerising eyes. Ma Fuya is left an orphan, and she escapes with the help of a eunuch. Broadcast network: Hunan TV. Oh it hurts! But if she is Fuya, she is to me pretty but too dark. In fact when she died I was like good riddance. I like the fact that he is somewhat a mysterious figure when it comes to his feelings and the way he thinks. Also the fact that I know Northern Han is very cold hence the fur coat. I watched this series for him. Some of our partners may process your data as a part of their legitimate business interest without asking for consent. But weaker doesnt mean bad. She met him when she was at her happiest time and she isnt in a rush to marry. The eldest prince of the kingdom of Shu. In fact if I nitpick I can point out the flaws, many of them and he has a tendency to overact in certain scenes. He didnt ask for that marriage, he didnt ask for many things in his life, he is one could say left with little choice. Third marriage saved her people but killed the man she loved. If she advises C, he will do D. Basically everything she says or does, he will do opposite and say opposite. (Ruby Lin), the beautiful princess of the Kingdom of Chu, who seeks to take revenge and revive her perished state. I find her sudden cheerfulness after Qiyou died so alarming that I was thinking he didnt die! 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. 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. [1], Filming for the series started on 19 January 2011 in Hengdian and wrapped up on 6 April 2011. I have seen some BTS with Wallaces original voice. He had to send his favourite mistress away. Episode 1 47m. 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. I am fan girling. In fact everyone loves Fuya except for 3 or 4 people. I shall say as a producer, Ruby was exemplary in her taste in costumes, her picks in the actors and the locations. Of course when Du Fei Hong died, Qiyou became bland, because he was only concerned with Ma Fuya and the love aspect. And yet he never once attempted to kill Empress Dowage Gudu. Maybe because she knows she has Concubine Han and her brother Han Ming behind her back but for a maid she is really 100% fail. 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. This show has a strange way of turning rational persons into fan girls. 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. I feel no love for Fuya, feel no pity. Never have I ever looked upon a Chinese man and go What a beautiful creature. The silliest hairstyles has to be the Northern Han with the high tail hair or testicles hair. Having no reason makes it all the more tragic. I read in many forums that she should have been Fuya. 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. As her first production, Lin invited almost all the actors herself, most of whom she had collaborated before, including Dai Chunrong and Miao Haojun in, Ruby Lin's "Glamorous Imperial Concubine" Off To Strong Start, https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=The_Glamorous_Imperial_Concubine&oldid=1149479041, , . 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. Maybe in part it is Ruby Lin's fault. He is unwanted, unloved, unappreciated and Yan Kuan epitomises all that whenever he shares a scene with Kara Hui. He is the eagle prince in Bu Bu Jing Xin. 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???!!! 2. Dugu, mother of Liancheng dies from sucking the poisonous blood of Lianxi. But the accent is again neutral. But I feel why his character suffer is because the writer didnt seem interested in giving him a prominent presence. Those who loves her protects her till death. 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.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[320,50],'jaynestars_com-small-rectangle-1','ezslot_27',643,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-jaynestars_com-small-rectangle-1-0'); In episode 1 this beautiful man, with the most beautiful head gear and a huge fur coat on his shoulder (like some dead purple fox draped over his shoulder) looking rather sad, melancholic and depressed all rolled into one. I am personally, first and foremost, a Yan Kuan fan. A pity his real voice is not used or if used, he certainly sounded higher pitched. Her pain, her hurt, her anger, her frustration, all at her son and his obsession over Ma Fuya was all on her face. It was a fantastically acted scene and a great scene as well. I cant take the full show as it is too tragic but its not bad in small doses. Like he is a crushed man. 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. Why he hates his mother, and yet protects her and yet feels disgusted at having to do that and yet felt obligated? Fuya's faithful family maid. If just for curiosity sake, please do watch. The first marriage protected her from being executed with her family. And let me talk about that sex scene later on because it is a must to talk about. For Kara Hui alone, this series is worth your time because she was sensational. She is a conflicted woman. Wang Yu as Meng Qiyun, Second prince. I clapped at his ending; never before there has been a more justified ending for a character than that for Ma Duyun. 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. The actor is ok but it is the character I cant stand. So she did many things. The MIA is Muo Chou. Viewers look forward to Ruby Lin and Wallace Huos chemistry in Light the Night season 2. This page was last edited on 12 April 2023, at 14:12. I was never a Taiwan drama fan so I never knew of his existence although I heard of the tale of 2 Wallaces. Beautifully written review, Funn. The entire death scene made it out as if he was being pushed as a pawn in the struggle for power. Other name: . Yes he had to marry the woman she wanted him to marry but the initial wedding was a trick, if he had known he would have rejected her outright. 1. I really dont know why I hated her so. Mao Zijun as Ma Duyun is actually quite a competent actor. I weep at the thought how he made life so difficult for himself. He has epic eyebrows, beautifully shaved I suppose you can say that. And the actor was fantastic. 1 / 8. She just looks wide eyed, innocent, etc. Compare this to Meng Qixing, Qiyous full blood brother who in the most important time abandoned Qiyou and even wanted Qiyou dead. One factor I dont like is the dancing. I saw this actress again in Empresses In The Palace and she looked so different which shows a good actress than morph their face. I find Fuyas treatment of Liancheng like as if she is using him. Why cant he give a chance to another who clearly loved him? 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. When he reconciled with his mom, she dies. Qiyun is Qiyous half brother whose mother is Mei. Just remember, Wallace Huo cries beautifully. I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. The sets seem familiar. Too much hurt between them, too much disappointment, too much unspoken issues. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. She has the grace, the elegance to play a princess. This review is written by Funn Lim, a Contributing Writer at JayneStars.com and was originally posted at www.point2e.com. That makes Liancheng a better Emperor. It was first aired in China on HBS on 30 September 2011.[2]. Ending theme song: Qing Ting Wo () by Ruby Lin. Have you ever come across a series where you love the series for some reasons but looking at it wholly, you just hate it because it had the potential to become a beautiful thing but turned out to be an epic failure? I am not sure if she loved this guy or hated that guy. But he just fell into the river without a word, not even Fuya, RUNNNNNN!!!. He is emotionless only because he shut his heart. 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. Whatever you have read about the synopsis, chuck it out because it aint the same. However that big reconciliation scene I was hoping for never materialise. 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. 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. And he vomits blood a lot of time in here. Best actionVomiting blood. That is basically what Qing Shi Huang Fei is. Here he has more role. The makeup is beautiful though and Ruby seems to pay more attention to her male leads costumes than anyone else, in particular Wallaces. Lianxi becomes the emperor of Northern Han as he promised Dugu to rule well and marries no one we know of. And for all the reasons above, I highly recommend this series to you. It's based on the novel of the same name by Murong Yin Er. Although he has ulterior motives and uses Fuya as a political tool, he falls in love with her and secretly protects her from danger. "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" is a 2011 Chinese drama series directed by Lin Feng and George Leung. It is not because she got to kiss Wallace. Should be. She shared an unexpected headache having to arrange food trucks to be delivered to set from friends of her cast of actors! Episode 2 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. Heartfelt and sincere. 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.

Anyway his one faithful maid turns out to be a traitor. 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 couldnt bear to watch the last third of the show because I was so annoyed. Anyways, it wasnt meant to be flippant. For Forbidden City concubines in imperial China, beauty was more a curse than a blessing. Liu Tao I believe is the actress who plays Qiyous courtesan/mistress. And for that he is the 3rd reason why I highly recommend this series. 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. 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. Liu Lian Cheng is not an easy man to like but easy to love. 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. 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. Not only do I hate her face, I hate her performance. Emperor of Shu dies from same poison as Emperor of Chu. He is abusive to her, physically when he hits her, mentally when he ignores her and emotionally when he refuses to return her love. Poor woman. Also Fuya is supposed to be so damn nice that it all came across as unfeeling, unpretentious. 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. Her dubbed voice enhanced her performance when her real voice might irritate me and make me hate Du Fei Hong. After all Chinese measure of beauty is sorry to say, fairness. PerformanceI am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is not the greatest actor ever. The other factor I dont like is the editing of the story. I was like seriously? You can love him for so many reasons and you can find very little reason to like him. Concubine Han? South China Morning Post. From inside room to outside garden, it seems his death took him around the palace and still he can carry on about 10 minutes monologue before dying. Why did Wallaces character never love his own wife either? He treats her with sincerity but she remains unmoved; she in fact plotted to free her beloved behind his back all along. Her favourite lineMA!!!.. 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. ( Log Out / Evil uncle of Fuya dies from being stabbed by Duyun. 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. 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. Liancheng is not easy person to like at all and what he did to Fuya is wrong without any reason at all. Starring:Ruby Lin, Wallace Huo, Yan Yikuan Watch all you want.
