Short and nice pace of historical drama where love is always there though the couple did not end up together in the end.

Storyline

In the martial arts world, there are two highly skilled masters named Hei Fengxi (Yang Yang) and Bai Fengxi (Zhao Lusi). As both shared the same name, Bai Fengxi likes to challenge Hei Fengxi to see who is more superior. She is under the impression that Hei Fengxi is a manipulative person. Little did she know, Hei Fengxi is in love with her and trying to protect her.

During these turbulent times, the Imperial family is being tricked by evil doers which in turn caused chaos to the world. Due to a fake token, it causes six States trying to fight to be the only ruler.. Hei Bai Fengxi are involved in the political struggle and eventually helped find peace.

My View

Story is not too bad and don't expect too much romance because this is more like a wuxia kind of drama. I guess Yang Yang and Zhao Lusi do not have on-screen chemistry or is it Yang Yang just doesn't match well with anyone except for Zheng Shuang (IMO) in Love O2O 微微一笑很倾城.

Storyline

Ning Yi (Chen Kun), the sixth prince of Tian Sheng Empire had been imprisoned in Zhong Zhen temple for years after being plotted by Crown Prince Ning Chuan (Hai Yitian). After his release, all the other princes died one by one as part of his revenge for the late third prince Ning Qiao (Liu Zhehui) and his late mother Ya Le (Mei Ting).

Ning Yi meets Feng Zhiwei (Ni Ni) and initially uses her as part of his chess piece to bring down Crown Prince. The both fall in love but were unable to be together due to their statuses.

My View

Definitely a great political struggle drama but rather slow and steady one. It seems too long a story but to bring down every single prince, falls in love and the plot twist at the end shocked me really.

Yong Ning Princess, Li Changge (Dilraba Dilmurat) vows revenge against her uncle Li Shimin (Geng Le) when he killed all her families. She also has a love-hate relationship with her cousin Yong An Princess, Li Leyan (Zhao Lusi) because of this. 

She meets up with a lot of people on her way and ends up being in the grassland with Ashile Shun (Wu Lei). Changge wants Ashile tribe to help her with her revenge but she comes to realise that she only wants peace among the people whether it is the Tang Dynasty, grassland or desert.

My View

 

Some parts are draggy especially the Princess Yong An being kidnapped portion and Ashile Khatun's (Yang Ming Na) controlling the royals. I almost wanted to rate a 3 stars but overall the plot is well written. I like how the relationship between Ashile Shun and Ashile She-er (Wa Er) work out in the end.

Hao Du (Liu Yuning) is kind of adorable and he matches well with Princess Yong An.

Storyline

Rumour has is that whoever marries daughters of Fu family will become the Emperor. The two sisters, Fu Yuzhan (Meng Ziyi) and Fu Jinzhan (Li Yitong) happens to get involved in a task set up by Emperor but this is actually to get rid of one of the sisters.

Prince Xue Rong (Aarif Rahman) is in charge of this task and leaves with no choice but to kill Yuzhan. Using her wits, Yuzhan manages to save herself. Xue Rong eventually falls in love with her and decides to marry her.

However, as Xue Rong is an adopted prince, he faces multiple obstacles from Emperor's sister as she only acknowledges the Xue's family bloodline. Due to an incident, he ends up marrying Jinzhan instead. Jinzhan is already in love with Jiang Shao (Wang Zhuocheng) who she meets up by accident when he tries to kidnap her during Emperor's task.

Little did anyone know except for the Emperor's sister, Jiang Shao is the Emperor's illegitimate son whom she wants to help him to ascend the throne. 

My View

The story is not too bad though in between a little slow but still okay. It should not be two sisters in chaos as I don't see them causing much trouble other than the two "princes". The ending was kind of sad by the way.

Shu Jingrong's (Yuan Bingyan) father was 'Blood Demon' who killed a lot of villians especially those from Bai Yue Sect. After her father was murdered by Hua Lian, leader of Bai Yue Sect, she is saved by Xiao Shishui, Listening Snow Tower's leader. She was then sent to Sand Valley as Bai Di's disciple and named as Qing Ming. She has another two elder brothers under Bai Di, Qing Lan (Han Chengyu) and Qing Yu (Zhao Dongze).

Once out on a task to protect the Crown Prince, Qing Lan meets Ye Huo (Yuan Lilin) and she was injured by Bai Yue Sect's poison. Qing Lan brings her back to Sand Valley not knowing that Ye Huo is actually Ming He undercover from Bai Yue Sect. She is also the daughter of Sect leader.

Qing Lan sacrifices his life to save Qing Yu and Qing Ming during Sand Valley's attack and they both end up staying at Listening Snow Tower. After the leader was killed by Hua Lian, his son Xiao Yiqing (Qin Junjie) takes over the sect. He vows to take down Bai Yue together with Qing Ming and the rest of Listening Snow Tower.

My View

There is a spoiler where I'm skipping here and all I can say is the storyline is not too bad at some point. But most of them are so draggy and I literally fast forward most of the episodes. Why the need for side tracks? Why 56 episodes and not like 24? The two main leads are like getting sick, getting injured, saved each other, almost died and recovered a little and injured again then sick again. Over and over this cyle repeats itself. 

The scriptwriters seriously what is wrong with you guys??

In the end, Fengnian manages to avenge his mother's death by killing one of her murderers.

My View

I have not watched such an awesome wuxia drama in a long time. I kind of enjoy watching anything with Wang Juan's as the scriptwriter as he introduces a million characters which keeps the story confusing but intriguing at the same time. Two thumbs up!

Wu Jinyan, Nie Yuan, Mao Zijun

Storyline 

Plot depicts the life of Hao Lan (Wu Jinyan), Queen Dowager Zhao who is mother of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. Hao Lan comes from the State of Zhao and is entangled with merchant Lu Buwei (Nie Yuan). She is later being presented to Ying Yiren (Mao Zijun) who is a Qin prince under hostage at Zhao.

With the help of Buwei, Yiren manages to escape back to Qin and later changes name to Zichu. Once Zichu becomes Qin's crown prince, he arranges for Hao Lan to leave Zhao for Qin to become his Empress. 

My View

For the first probably 20 episodes, it's all about Hao Lan being schemed and how she managed to clear her name. In between, also multiple love hate scenes of Princess Ya of Zhao (Hai Lin) and Yiren. I feel so sad for Hao Lan as no one truly loves her in her whole life except for Lao Ai I guess (Zhu Jian).

Most of her men may have loved her at first but in the end abandoned Hao Lan for their own prospects. Like Lu Buwei, Prince Jiao of Zhao (Hong Yao) and finally Yiren who dreams to unite the world.

Together they collaborate to assist Emperor and Empress when they are faced with obstacles from external parties planning to overthrow the Crown Prince and sow discord among the princes.

My View

A pretty good plot flowing throughout the entire drama though not a lot of ups and downs. As in some parts are just cut off abruptly with no continuation. I understand the reason was not to make the entire show too draggy. But I guess I'm not too used to this kind of style as of now.

The trio often work together to cure people filled with rage so as to destroy Jiu Si's goals.

My View

PHE gives me an anime-turned-drama vibe with multiple hilarious moments which I can only find from animes. Overall, story is not too bad with individual cases which painting heart expert manages to resolve.

Luo Feifei (Zhao Lusi) is a doctor from the modern world but time travels back to ancient time. She gets involved with masters of twelve zodiacs in Huang Dao country. Feifei happens to be the thirteenth zodiac, Ophiuchus. 

Ophiuchus clan is being avoided and marked as criminals when the former master killed Huang Dao country's King. This is actually a scam set up by people from Orion Land to sow discord among the zodiac masters.

The current King Beitang Yi (Gu Jiacheng) falls in love with Feifei as they go through thick and thin together. On their wedding night, all the citizens in Huang Dao country are being poisoned by Orions. Most of the zodiac masters are killed.

Ophiuchus being the only zodiac to heal others, sacrifice themselves to save the lives of everyone. Feifei then vanishes into thin air and returns back to modern world. In the end, she meets Beitang Yi again.

My View

Being a web-drama, the plot is not too bad. Just that I think the show does not have much budget so some parts feel kind of weird.

Most of the scenes are funnily lame that I have to roll my eyes. Have a good laugh though. This is the second drama where I see Xiao Zhan as the second male lead. The other one is The Wolf 狼殿下. 

The Untamed 陈情令 made him so popular and one would think why The Wolf, a much later drama still has him playing as second lead. Reason being The Wolf was filmed much earlier than The Untamed.

Also, as long as Zhao Lusi is in historical drama, it is usually from modern to ancient kind of concept. Like The Romance of Tiger and Rose 传闻中的陈芊芊 and Love Better than Immortality 天雷一部之春花秋月.

Chun Hua (Zhao Lusi) believes in love more than being an immortal. She enters a game in year 2196 looking for true love. When she wakes up in a historical era, she takes on the name Chun Hua. However, her former self was Hua Xiaolei, Xiao Bai's (Wu Junyu) fiancee.

The game rule is that the first male Chun Hua sees when she wakes up is her rightful man. Chun Hua thought Xiao Bai is the one for her but in actual fact, it is Shangguan Qiuyue (Li Hongyi).

Shangguan Qiuyue and Hua Xiaolei were once lovers. Chun Hua is constantly stuck between Xiao Bai and Shangguan Qiuyue. She is being manipulated by both so as to take over the world.

In the end, Shangguan Qiuyue sacrifices himself to save Chun Hua's life.

My View

The plot is just keep on repeating the same thing over and over again. Like Shangguan Qiuyue appearing out of nowhere and threatens Chun Hua.

Then Chun Hua being kidnapped and Xiao Bai and gang looking for her everywhere. It's exhausting.

The only reason why this drama is rated a 2 and not 1 is due to the true love of this couple Fu Lou (Hu Jian) and You Si (Lin Jing) in Chuanqi Valley. Though the leader belonged to evil sect, his love for his wife touches my heart.

The owner in charge is Ju Shui Farmer (Liu Yichang) who is also Xu Jin's imperial uncle, Xu Ping. Due to a misunderstanding, Xu Ping assumes that Xu Jin is the one who killed her mother ten years ago in a temple fire breakout.

He manipulates Ru Yi Pavilion's owner Liu Ruyi (Gong Beibi) who is a jeweler on the surface but actually the leader of real Ru Yi Pavilion which sells and trades information. Fu Rong is Liu Ruyi's disciple who manages Ru Yi Pavilion after Liu Ruyi's death.

Xu Jin is made believe to be Liu Ruyi's murderer. Fu Rong then marries Xu Jin in order to avenge for her master. The couple face numerous obstacles and near-death together.

My View

Overall, TBARP is still acceptable. The reason I give a 4 star is because of the ups and downs of its plot. Just that the main leads face too many near-death already. Like Xu Jin is always being attacked and injured. Lol..

All the male and female first second leads are extremely good-looking I must say. Even the bodyguards look cool!

Zhan Qinghong (Xing Fei) is the daughter of Zhan Podi (Huang Haibing). Zhan Podi has been staying at Zhan's villa up on a mountain away from Wulin. He sends Qinghong to Jun'an to take part of Wulin competition in fighting to be the next director.

From then on, Qinghong meets a number of Wulin martial arts masters and becomes Lin Fang's right handman. The pair go through life and death together. They manage to expose the evil deeds of Prime Minister Wang Dun (Kent Tong).

My View

TMBFY is better than The Love Lasts Two Minds 两世欢. Probably because I'm a Wuxia fan and Yu Menglong just melts my heart with his coldness and smiles.. everything.

One touching part is when the villians Zhong Buming (Chunyu Shanshan) and Feng Bufei (Yan Su) trying to save each other from being killed by Wang Dun.

Also Princess Huayao (Ma Yue) who dies along with her husband Wen You (Yalkun Merxat) when she finds out about his death.

Jing Ci (Yu Menglong) is Yong country's prince who has been raised by King of Zhao country. Feng Mianwan (Chen Yuqi) is Ci's personal maid since young. 

Both Ci and Mianwan are fond of each other but face multiple obstacles between them. An incident brings Mianwan back to Yong as another identity under Yuan Qingli. 

She loses her memory in the midst and gets to know Jing Zhiwan (who is actually Jing Ci). The pair work together in cracking numerous murder cases. They also eventually expose the evil deed of Prince Ye who usurps the throne.

My View

I kinda like short and sweet dramas as too many additional episodes make me lose my patience. TLLTM is my cup of tea though I heard lots of reviews that Yu Menglong seems cold with not much expressions. 

But that is what makes him looks good and cool. I love him especially as Bai Zhen from Eternal Love.

The Xiao sisters are being entangled into political struggle and manipulation when their husbands (Yelu royals) plot against each other in order to seize the throne.

My View

The drama starts off pretty intense and I enjoy watching every single scene. I guess once after Yansage (Tan Kai) King of Tai Ping passed away, the rest of the episodes are just okay with not much ups and downs.

I actually cried for Xiyin (Ji Chen) King of Zhao when he was killed together with his son. Though he should have been dead long ago due to multiple attempts of rebellion, it was still heart-wrenching to watch it.

I guess there is no right or wrong when one desires to become an Emperor. Who doesn't want to rule the world if given a chance?

Special mention of Xiao Siwen King of Wei (Liu Yijun) who is the leader of Xiao Empress clan. He is a remarkable actor and I do like his villian roles in Nirvana in Fire and Legend of Fuyao. 

For the first time, when he finally gets to be a good character, he dies just like that. Oh my tian..

My View

I guess my standards are set so much higher after watching awesome historical fiction dramas like Princess Agents, The Wolf, Goodbye My Princess, Nirvana in Fire etc..

The plot is just fine. The villians do not last too long and their plans are being exposed easily. After the main leads return to Capital, things start to slow down quite a bit.

The only part which I like most is during last episode when Emperor decides to return his throne to the rightful heir. That is pretty funny.
