The best of all characters of father, with the best actor and the worst character has to be Qiyous father, the Emperor of Shu. In fact he has my vote as the most pitiful character ever to grace the TV. Her acting is like so on the surface, so simplistic, so how should I put it? But when it comes to personal lives, Liancheng is a luckier man except on his wedding night he should have asked his mom Exactly which princess of Chu am I marrying? because if he had, no drama. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. Which is after a while boring. It just means he is a weaker actor. He is NOT dead because even the maid had a more spectacular death with some monologue. It isnt, except when the main important characters die, logic went with them. I assume Liansi didnt die and return to Northern Han since no news after that sick doll like scene. 2011 -2011. MovieRadish Warrior Engsub | Bo Huang, Yi Huang,Haitao Du,Shuliang Ma,Xiaolei Huang. "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" is a 2011 Chinese drama series directed by Lin Feng and George Leung. He is attracted to Fuya because she is honest to him without asking anything in return (although I will disagree on that). That is basically what Qing Shi Huang Fei is. That to me is subtlety at its best. It is not because she got to kiss Wallace. The second marriage gave her shelter to heal her broken heart. But poor Lian Cheng, no matter what he does, he may have Fuyas person, but he will never have her heart, the one thing he wants more than anything else. HDTV is not for him in those scenes. 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. If just for curiosity sake, please do watch. He understood her but he can never accept her actions. 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. This is a man who understands love but doesnt know how to love properly as opposed to Meng Qiyou.

I have no idea who he is. For Forbidden City concubines in imperial China, beauty was more a curse than a blessing. Why cant he give a chance to another who clearly loved him? Having lost everything except her beloved grandpa Hua, she traveled to Northern Han to seek Lianchengs help to revive her kingdom. So I've gotten through 39 episodes of GIC and now there are only three left, and I have to stop! Beautifully written review, Funn. Suits their personality and such careful attention given that for once I wasnt sorry for paying attention to nitty gritty details. How can these pair become such? Friday, October 28, 2011 Qing Shi Huang Fei (The Glamorous Imperial Concubine) Synopsis Fu Ya was an exiled princess who married three ambitious kings. when Liancheng hit her? It is the only time he ever talked to her, only time he ever touched her. But for any Wallaces fans or would be fans, no doubt you will agree he looks great in here. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine <> also known as Qing Shi Huang Fei or Introduction Of A Princess Mainland China Drama, 2011 Genre: Historical Fiction Number of Episodes: 44 Title Means Basically, The Drop Dead Gorgeous Imperial Concubine, Qing Shi to describe a woman so gobsmackingly beautiful. Yes she is too old for I assume a young character but unlike some actresses who look their age, she looks much younger than her actual age.

However the lyrics to all songs are meaningful and well written with memorable melody. I shall say as a producer, Ruby was exemplary in her taste in costumes, her picks in the actors and the locations. He hardly has any lines, he hardly has any actions. Yan Kuan is a beautiful man, but prone to imperfection as in bloated face and all. When he reconciled with his mom, she dies. Why the woman with so much lipstick and yet the man after some hot kissing still looks bubblegum pretty on his lips? 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. He is emotionless only because he shut his heart. This Ma Fu Ya character just rubbed me the wrong way every way. No explanation but I like the big fur. Maybe in part it is Ruby Lin's fault. i knw.. kara should be gven better roles in tvb. In fact everyone loves Fuya except for 3 or 4 people. ( Log Out / Evil uncle of Fuya dies from being stabbed by Duyun. 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. But apart from marriage, Liancheng seems to have a stronger footing when governing his country, he is more strong in his opinion and expressing his opinion. I realised afterwards, that you might have answered my question in your review, but I only skimmed it and avoided too many spoilers since I hadnt watched it yet. About Press Copyright Contact us Creators Advertise Developers Terms Privacy Policy & Safety How YouTube works Test new features NFL Sunday Ticket Press Copyright . I find her sudden cheerfulness after Qiyou died so alarming that I was thinking he didnt die! He is cowardly as he is scheming as he is scary as he is not very bright. This was also the reason why Liancheng hated his own mother. He has all the right expression in every scene. 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. 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. But the dubber chosen for Wallace has a similar voice as Wallace, except accent is more neutral. Empress Du Fei Hong is, I am willing to admit why this series rocks. 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. Episode 2 47m In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. English title: The Glamorous Imperial Concubine. One is when he meets a mask covered Ma Fuya and he was sitting very arrogantly and giving her that I dont give a damn look until he heard her voice and he knew it was her and his look, unchanged except for that momentary shift in his eyes that you know, he knows. I don't want to, but I just can't stand it. Her favourite lineMA!!!.. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine - Full Cast & Crew. Although he has ulterior motives and uses Fuya as a political tool, he falls in love with her and secretly protects her from danger. Qiyou dies when trying to save Fuya by arrows and then falling into the river. Anyway, I just feel the need to speak up for Qiyou/ Yuan Kun as too much has been raved about Lian Cheng/Wallace I am kidding. He looks arrogant and is cold and calculating, but he is really soft-hearted and gentle underneath. CharactersLiu Lianxi is Lianchengs half brother but he loves this half brother like blood brother. Genre: Historical, romance. Performance wise, Dai Chunrong is an often seen veteran and remember she was the evil empress in Huan Zhu Gege? He has good taste in women and brothers. His death scene was funny though. The story may suck after a while, Ruby Lin an eyesore when it comes to acting, many actors simply will not do such as Hong Xiaoling who is an even worse eyesore than Ruby Lin, it is still a commendable effort by 1st time producer Ruby Lin who gave us some interesting casting decision that is what drives this series in the end. Only Yan Kuan of all the actors I have seen can vomit blood so elegantly, so beautifully, so effectively. Ever seen kissing scenes? She didnt kill anyone; but many died for her. I was never a Taiwan drama fan so I never knew of his existence although I heard of the tale of 2 Wallaces. Where to Watch. He cries beautifully but not to divert attention from another gorgeous man that is Yan Kuan, I shall speak more of him later. It is a credit to Wallace that despite all his characters flaw, the one remaining question I have even after he died was Why wont Ma Fuya love him back?. And basically half of the series died when he died about 10 episodes before the end. Oh and also a reason to watch is why TVB could not have given some capable TVB actress a role like Kara Hui is given. This series stirs up emotion that TVB cant. The one factor I love most is the males headgear which I wrote about here (19.03.2012) . Maybe he knows he will be dubbed so he didnt care about how he sounded accent wise. But despite my criticisms on many critical points, I was entertained. I mean I hate Ma Fuya too but Ma Xiangyun is just one nasty woman. For me Wallace Huo made my day. And Kara Hui proves to me I shouldnt be biased to dubbed voices. Look, I am no fan of Ruby Lins acting, but it is understandable she should cast herself as the leading actress since she is the producer. Ma Fuya is left an orphan, and she escapes with the help of a eunuch. She has never been a good actress. Sowhats that word.. so.. amateur! His ministers also left him. Because if not I cant explain how this series just nosedived. After that no more such scene, so I was like why Qiyun suddenly want to become emperor and then promptly forgot about his own suggestion? However Liansis end is scary and that is because of the next character I will comment on. Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. Fuya's faithful family maid. Her characters almost always come off as pretentious or rather to be exact, meant well but destroys things in the end. She is too old for her character and I find her performance as like her character, just pretty one dimensional. 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. He would have been Legolas if he was younger. The first marriage protected her from being executed with her family. From the little we know, Du Fei Hong must have been the generals daughter, a capable woman who fought alongside her husband whom to her is a love marriage but to him a marriage of convenience. Having no reason makes it all the more tragic. 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. 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? 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. 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. But the one thing he does best is his very expressive eyes. Yes Liancheng is abusive but this woman, she so craves contact with his skin that she provokes him into hitting her. Most often asked question by meEmpress Du, why wont you love Qiyou back?. Not that I think highly of Fuya but I just want my Liancheng to be happy. She is pretty; she was Zhiwei in Huan Zhu Ge Ge, damn it!! He does have a face for extreme closeups. Your review is totally entertaining, I loved every word you wrote. 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. She is also inconsistent. Ruby definitely populated this series with the good looking ones who surprise surprise, can act very well. Point is why she wont love his back is simply because she fell for another in the times (3 years? Why waste time on such unconnected scene? Wallacehe is just too pretty for me to really take seriously, I dont know why. 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 says A, son will say B. He can vomit blood, cry and be angry all at the same time. Wallace didnt hold back; the scenes he has with the actress Hong Xiaoling as ma Xiangyun were difficult to watch. Then theres Xiangyuns father who never loved his own daughter. However that big reconciliation scene I was hoping for never materialise. Movies . Maybe she hated him? Starring:Ruby Lin, Wallace Huo, Yan Yikuan Watch all you want. Fair comments? I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. I like the fact that he is somewhat a mysterious figure when it comes to his feelings and the way he thinks. Dugu, mother of Liancheng dies from sucking the poisonous blood of Lianxi. 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. 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. You can hear that in Huan Zhu Gege which gave her performance an edge over others.
