the glamorous imperial concubine recap

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. 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.

I find Fuyas treatment of Liancheng like as if she is using him. It feels jumpy later on, some scenes unconnected to the other and some scenes comes and go unexplained. 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. She is a conflicted woman.

Wallace didnt hold back; the scenes he has with the actress Hong Xiaoling as ma Xiangyun were difficult to watch. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine Ep 1 1 - YouTube 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. Love his dubbed voice because it suits his face. His evil wife died from.. I do have a question, because in your review you state that you dont understand why Fuya wont love Wallaces character but didnt he kill her father?

This page was last edited on 12 April 2023, at 14:12. Ma Xiangyun is one character I never liked from the 1st time I see her. It started out rather predictable, sorta campy fun, then it became all serious and sorta good, became better in each and every episode but towards the end, just went on and on for so long, the fun is lost, the drama is gone, the story is nowhere to be seen and the ending is just up to interpretation ONLY IF you havent paid attention for the past 5 episodes or so. I assume Liansi didnt die and return to Northern Han since no news after that sick doll like scene. Miao Haojun as Hua Ziqiao, eunuch Hua of Chu. He is that beautiful and his performance whilst not spectacular and perfect, it is great enough to leave a lasting impression. Grandpa Hua died from experimenting with poison I think, to save I believe Empress of Chu so that Fuya doesnt need to risk her life and unborn child by trying the same poison so as to find an anecdote. 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. i knw.. kara should be gven better roles in tvb. Her performance was fantastic. I didnt like him at first, I dont know why I can like that melancholic abusive bastard so easily and yet it took me some time to warm up to Meng Qiyou. However his face can be puffy and tired looking. If he had any, none of it would be justified. CharactersLiu Lianxi is Lianchengs half brother but he loves this half brother like blood brother. Maybe in part it is Ruby Lins fault. First, Miao Hao Jun, the loving eunuch named Hua Gong Gong to Ma Fuya. For Forbidden City concubines in imperial China, beauty was more a curse than a blessing. FU!! Next day I watched the next episode, indeed he is dead. Those who loves her protects her till death. 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. Voice actorHis voice was dubbed, obviously. Fuya entered the palace as concubine candidate for Qixing and they hit it off instantly. Sun Xi as Mo Chou. 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 tears, her forcefulness in delivering those lines, every wrinkle, every crow feet on her face, Kara Hui was quite simply magnificent. White haired faithful servant of Empress Du. I watched this series for him. How can these pair become such? I find her sudden cheerfulness after Qiyou died so alarming that I was thinking he didnt die! 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. What a tragic character. Yes he is creepy, this series has the distinction of having the most creepy villain which makes this series sorta unique and I bet you will be shocked at the Liansi scene I have mentioned. Qiyou dies when trying to save Fuya by arrows and then falling into the river. When he died, I didnt feel sorry for him. 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 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 couldnt bear to watch the last third of the show because I was so annoyed. 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. Disgusting man. I am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is the greatest actor ever? He had to send his favourite mistress away. 2. She plays Du Fei Hong as someone so powerful in looks and yet so fragile in emotions. (Ruby Lin), the beautiful princess of the Kingdom of Chu, who seeks to take revenge and revive her perished state. 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. His death scene was funny though. You may pity her, for years she married Liancheng and he never touched her except for twice and twice also never completed the deed. Where to Watch. 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).

My post on Wallace Huo which touches a bit on his performance as Liu Liancheng at here (part 1) and here (part 2). Starring Ruby Lin with Kevin Yan and Wallace Huo, it was Lin's producing debut. However there is one very memorable scene with this character and that is Fuya discovering Duyun hiding Liansi on his bed, beautifully dolled up, I believe naked and she was like drugged as she calls gently for her dead child and Qiyou and the entire scene shows quite scarily what a monster Duyun is. 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.
