She makes decision for Qiyou without first asking him. Anyway his one faithful maid turns out to be a traitor. For Forbidden City concubines in imperial China, beauty was more a curse than a blessing. She is at lest 3 years older than her 2 main leads, she is probably 2 decades older than her character at the start of the series, she is not even pretty to be called Qing shi. Her love is deadly. Her mother, her father, her husband, everyone and still she manages to keep her hands clean. I was in fact rather shocked with her looks when she was in prison, about to be executed. Empress of Chu died by falling to her death, accidentally pushed by Yunzhu who was deliberately pushed byDuyun? 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. Every night I will switch on TV to watch this beautiful man. The only song I like, sang very well by Wallace Huo although could have had more emotion is Qingshi. And so starts her bitterness. I find Fuyas treatment of Liancheng like as if she is using him. Ruby and Wallace would not to quarrel or raise their voices at each other in front of their child. 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. Wallace Huo was billed as a guest star, my guess is because of the strict ruling of China broadcasting authorities on the issue of Mainland China actors as leading actors. She plays Du Fei Hong as someone so powerful in looks and yet so fragile in emotions. Anyway Lianxi is one character I grew to like towards the end. He treats her with sincerity but she remains unmoved; she in fact plotted to free her beloved behind his back all along. PerformancesGenerally, pretty good supporting performances by all 3, even if Tony Yang looks weird as some poison sect chieftain look. And I love that scene. The MIA is Muo Chou. 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. Ever seen kissing scenes? But the problem is Liancheng loves his brother and therefore does not see the point why she had to kill off his brothers mother and family, he hated that woman he married and he felt rightfully cheated into the marriage, he loved Fuya and would have done anything for her and in the end he doesnt want to be emperor in the first place so all those acts she did was pointless in his eyes. She must like blue; so much blue. However her acting is another matter altogether. Under his rule, he almost lost his kingdom. 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. She works hard and the results is all there. After her evil uncle Jing entraps her, Princess Fuya is deemed guilty of a felony and is sentenced to be beheaded. She is not a bad mother but she had to be one to safeguard her sons and the one son she wanted desperately for him to love her is Qiyou who also desperately want her to love him until at one point he just gave up. She is just the weird white haired extra faithful servant of Empress Du. 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. It involves you, it engages you, it makes you wonder and it makes you feel for certain core characters which is what it is meant to do. But since I met Wallace Huo first and fell in love at first sight, my heart has always been with Liu Liancheng, through good or bad times. But if she is Fuya, she is to me pretty but too dark. Episode 2 47m Selfish, vain and as bitter as anyone else, she hated Ma Fuya. And her I want to revive Chu Kingdom comes and goes as and when she finds convenient. He is also probably the one man immuned to Fuyas charm and tried to kill her several times. Wang Lin is normally a good actress but here as Han Chao Yi, she is one note. Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. Bravo! He is that beautiful and his performance whilst not spectacular and perfect, it is great enough to leave a lasting impression. He would do ANYTHING for Fuya, including throwing away his kingdom. His character is flawed. One more is the wedding night kissing scene. She is pretty and rather seductive and so she suits her role in this series but not as Guan Yin. Those who loves her protects her till death. I would have cringed if another lesser actor portrayed this role and to see him crawl to that hated she-devil Ma Fuya begging for forgiveness, my blood boiled. It is the only time he ever talked to her, only time he ever touched her. 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. Manage Settings In fact I feel like slapping him. Maybe she hated him? Half the time I am not sure what she is thinking, no body language, no emotions, no expression. I dont think that is her real voice because her real voice is beautiful. Yang Kai Chun as the annoying maid Yun Zhu was effective if annoying is what she is meant to be. Showed little affection? I always remember him as that despicable 9th prince in Yongzheng Wang Chao. You can say she did good things for him but the truth is if Liancheng understands love but doesnt know how to love properly, Xiangyun is someone who thinks she understands love but in the end her sort of love is those that you dont want. The heartbreaking reconciliation on her death bed, the pain every time he thinks in her eyes he is never good enough. Beautifully written review, Funn. Like he is a crushed man. 5 year?) +$12.00 shipping. When he died, I didnt feel sorry for him. The alternate English titles, Introduction of the Princess and Princess Dumping World, are nothing . Saying hi to other Yan Kuan fans here . Because Mao Zijun as Ma Duyun is simply not interesting enough to hold my attention. Quite a huge reality check to see her so messy, so dirty and bloodied as well. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine.

But dont know why, I just feel terrible for him. I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. That is basically what Qing Shi Huang Fei is. Qixing is stupid. Wallace Huo is to me the reason why HDTV is created. Like I said, I heard grumblings why Ruby Lin is the leading lady.

She has always been a capable actress but in here, she shows you all her expertise when it comes to acting. I am not sure if she loved this guy or hated that guy. Having lost everything except her beloved grandpa Hua, she traveled to Northern Han to seek Lianchengs help to revive her kingdom. The entire death scene made it out as if he was being pushed as a pawn in the struggle for power. Her end though is rather sad and pointless except for one point; she has one of the more moving monologues before her death, something which poor unloved, unwanted, uncared for Qiyou does not have. if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'jaynestars_com-large-leaderboard-2','ezslot_6',639,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-jaynestars_com-large-leaderboard-2-0');if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[300,250],'jaynestars_com-large-leaderboard-2','ezslot_7',639,'0','1'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-jaynestars_com-large-leaderboard-2-0_1');.large-leaderboard-2-multi-639{border:none!important;display:block!important;float:none!important;line-height:0;margin-bottom:7px!important;margin-left:auto!important;margin-right:auto!important;margin-top:7px!important;max-width:100%!important;min-height:250px;padding:0;text-align:center!important}Spoiler.
