Le You Yuan (2023)

Powerfully Beautiful Love Story

Blew my mind.. I love it so much ❤️ exactly like an epic love story. One, if not, the very best of Xu Kai's role. Can't move on from this beautiful story.. everything to me here is top-notch.
The fighting scenes are superbly well-done and some fight scenes I rewatch coz it was truly remarkable.
Ah..Xu Kai.. i am such a fan of his! He is just so so handsome.
And his role as the genius military man is perfect. I love watching intelligent ML and equally intelligent FL. Refreshing.
And side character stories only enhances the leads' love stories.
Watch it! ❤️

=> Addictive, epic series, without length despite the 40 episodes.

PLOT: The ML, 3rd son (born of a concubine) disadvantaged by his father, uncle of the emperor, joins the daughter of a general, the FL, at the head of a large army. They have to fight against a coup upon the death of the emperor. There are many conflicts and intrigues. Eventually the ML's father proclaims himself emperor, but the plots continue for the succession.

PROS:
+ An excellent CL with Xu Kai & Jing Tian as a warrior, valiant, intelligent couple. Xu Kai shows here all of his talent, all of his emotions in a wide variety of micro-expressions. Handsome, yes, but also talented ☆✲ﾟ｡(((´♡‿♡`+)))｡ﾟ✲☆
+ endearing 2ary characters.
+ magnificent settings and costumes. Some scenes are superb (fight in the Throne Hall around the coffin, in particular)
+ a story written with finesse and intelligence. Everything is coherent and relatively credible.
+ A satisfiying Happy Ending.

CONS:
- Low quality CGI (green background too obvious during certain scenes).
- OST volume too high compared to the dialogues.
- Always the same actors who play the villains (it's sad for them), so the viewer knows from their appearance alone what will be their evolution ;)

=> A Great watch !!
********************************************************************************
PLOT: Le ML, 3e fils (né d'une concubine) défavorisé par son père, oncle de l'empereur, se joint à la fille d'un général à la tête d'une grosse armée, la FL, pour lutter contre un coup d’État à la mort de l'empereur. Les conflits et intrigues sont multiples. Finalement le père du ML se proclame lui-même empereur, mais les complots se poursuivent pour la succession.

PROS:
+ Un excellent CL avec Xu Kai & Jing Tian en couple guerrier, valeureux., intelligent. Xu Kai montre ici tout son talent, toutes ses émotions dans une grande variété de micro-expressions. Beau, oui, mais aussi talentueux ☆✲ﾟ｡(((´♡‿♡`+)))｡ﾟ✲☆
+ des personnages 2aires attachants.
+ des décors et des costumes magnifiques. Quelques scènes sont superbes (fight dans la salle du Trône autour du cercueil, notamment)
+ une story écrite avec finesse et intelligence. Tout est cohérent et relativement crédible.

CONS:
- CGI low quality (fond vert trop trop évident sur certaines scènes).
- volume des OST trop fort par rapport aux dialogues.
- Toujours les mêmes acteurs qui jouent les villains (c'est désolant pour eux), donc le spectateur sait dès leur apparition qu'elle va être leur évolution ;)

=> Série addictive, épique, sans longueur malgré les 40 épisodes.

I'm a Xu Kai's Fan but their drama is really good and deserve to be rated 10/10 for me it was one of my favorite now. They've done and put their best on this project and i hope some will definitely enjoy this drama too as i do . The ml and fl have a good chemistry and done their roles very well and i was also carried away by the emotions, feelings they were showing through their expressions have really reached me and i also cried when the seen were actually too sad to bear but they have done it well providing us good drama and so much satisfying up to the end of the episodes with twist and exciting part of the story the flow were good and done smoothly . I congratulate for all the cast because with them doing their best to give us very exciting drama and satisfying then they did successfully and for doing their job well and roles .

Très belle série, bien construite

Cette série est belle, on sent qu'il y a du budget. Les costumes, les lieux de tournage, le nombre de figurants, tout concourt à faire du spectacle.
Et les acteurs sont absolument super ! Xu Kai est dans son meilleur rôle, il est vraiment brillant !
Un acteur qui est époustouflant c'est Gao Han dont l'évolution du personnage est vraiment très bien construite et très bien jouée.
Les rôles support sont vraiment à la hauteur, que ce soit l'équipe des bandits, le 2e couple, la consort etc
Et enfin, un magnifique 40e épisode complet pour savourer un brillant happy ending !
La seule chose que je n'ai pas aimé c'est le personnage principal féminin qui est parfois pénible.

Made me a fan of Xu Kai

Don’t get me wrong, I had nothing against him. This was the first time I really loved him in a role. He’s so expressive and does excellent fight scenes.

The series could have done with a few less “another obstacle” plot lines, eg, Liu Changfeng’s incessant hijinks, the entirety of Gu Wanniang, the apparently most gullible emperor to have ever hit a script.

Overall, though, a great series with some great action scenes. The scenes in ep. 30 (Old Bao, tears) were compelling and gritty. The series really ratcheted up a notch for me there.

Couple of nits - no costume changes pretty much ever. One dress and we’re good. And, the soundtrack was not my favorite by a long shot - but not horrendous.

Salah satu drama terbagus di 2023

Gue ga tau harus mulai dari mana. Ini pertama kalinya gue nulis beginian.
Padahal ga terlalu suka nulis juga, tapi karena drama ini bagus banget, gue termotivasi untuk meracuni user2 lain khususnya yg dari INA untuk cobain nonton drama ini.

Dramanya ringan untuk kategori perang dan konflik kerajaan. Tidak terlalu banyak presure, jadi pas nonton dramanya bawaannya senang aja gitu.
Jalan ceritanya menarik banget, ga kepikiran untuk skip satu adegan pun.

Mengenai akting, gue suka banget sama akting semua pemeran yang ada di drama ini. Bener2 top! Parah! Aktingnya xukai superb banget disini. Keren ya, dia itu bisa "berbicara" dengan matanya
Gue suka sama interaksi Xukai dan Jingtian di drama ini. Semuanya nampak natural dan ngalir gitu aja. Ga ada adegan yg dipaksakan, bener2 se smooth itu. Bener2 ga nyangka kalo mereka punya gap umur yang lumayan jauh, artinya chemistry mereka di drama ini tu bener2 top notch!! Exceptional ceunah. Hehe

Gue juga paling suka adegan2 yg di take di dalam hujan, sumpah keren banget!! Slow motionnya, musicnya klop!
Semua aspek dlm drama ini tuh overall bagus. Dramanya recommended!!

cute historical romance

Wonderland of Love (2023) - 8,5 -cdrama

historical romance wuxia cdrama. With average story, but cute romance.

This drama got few very good characters. Main and some minor characters got quite good or unique personalities. At other hand at least for me this drama lacks in villain characters development. Almost all villains was one dimensional or at best two dimensional and overall lacklustre.

Romance part was playing big role here. I would even say its more like main story is that romance and fight for throne or wars between armies are just backround.

plot - Emperor is dead, killed by traitorous general together with all his direct successors. New traitorous emperor aint supported by all and :warlords: rise to fight for throne. ML is frontline border general without big ambitions, sadly for him he is former emperor grandson and as such got duty to quell rebellion. At his crusade he meets FL which is strategist lieutenant of Cu army. Cu army is one of strongest :warlord: armies competing for throne. ML and FL play cat and mouse mind games to compete, but slowly their clashes spark a fire between them.

genre - wuxia, romance

while it’s a good show, something was lacking.

honestly don’t know what to expect after watching first 10 episodes of the show.

the plot is like moving from one “zhou” to another “zhou”. then there’s plot about the great imperial grandson which was there till mid way then it was forgotten until it popped up again after 3/4 of the show. then the rebellion between the sons, to be honest for them to come to this point, who started all this? if Cui Lin wasn’t so insistent of wanting Shiqi to be the CP, and wrote that request to the imperial court, these won’t escalate into such big tragedy.

shiqi’s life is hanging by the thread even if he didn’t become CP. and the worries he told Pei Yuan if he become one, it made sense. for Cui Lin, he’s the only one who can correct the weight from wrong and ensure peace. if she wants to be his Crown Princess, she jolly well know that her reputation can’t be as strong as Li family. and Cui Army’s disbandment is inevitable. this part could carry more emotional plot for both of them. but it just went off poof fast, and they reconciled. maybe I’m expecting too much.

I’m hoping for less angst for I started this show and while the show did less angst, overall, the show is not giving that punch.

I honestly don’t know what’s lacking in this show that prevented me enjoy it fully. I dozed off at some parts but I enjoy some parts too.

both main leads showcase their wits and intelligence, proving them to be equal. I’m glad that here their chemistry was quite strong. (having both equal characters can have issue showing chemistry)

ep30 was chaotic and escalated down fast and I broke down. it was one of best downfall scenes I’ve watched.

villains in this show aren’t worth mentioning.

acting wise, Jing tian was okay. Xu Kai was good. his crying scenes are good too. their banterings were entertaining.
