I was never a Taiwan drama fan so I never knew of his existence although I heard of the tale of 2 Wallaces.

I dont know about these Mainland China actor, they have such expressive eyes. Broadcast network: Hunan TV. I watched this series for him. Ma Fuya is a princess of the Chu state in 10th-century imperial China during the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. Emperor of Chu dies from poison. Watch The Glamorous Imperial Concubine | Netflix Her performance was fantastic. And basically half of the series died when he died about 10 episodes before the end. HDTV is not for him in those scenes. Heartfelt and sincere. I thought if this was his real voice, it sounded like someone 5 inches shorter than Yan Kuan. Deep down he is a very sad character. I mean some even argued it is illogical in the first place when we have essentially most of the hot guys (young and old) running after Ruby Lin, who essentially is older than the 2 leading actors by a few years. 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. 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. I will commend Ruby on being a good producer by the looks of the costumes and all. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine (TV Series 2011- ) - IMDb For Fuya, she feels suffocated with him, and yet when she tenderly touches him when he doesnt notice it, you will think perhaps if if he had saved her first when she first came to Nothern Han, they could have been a beautiful couple.

This is one mother who should have killed herself rather than burden her daughter by her very existence. I feel the series is left down as much as by the story as it is by the shoddy editing. Yan Kuan is a beautiful man, but prone to imperfection as in bloated face and all. She never killed Mei I think, I am not sure. These people in these palace shows rarely eat dont they? Not that I think highly of Fuya but I just want my Liancheng to be happy. However whilst Qiyou is billed as a compassionate talented would-be ruler, even Liancheng thinks highly of him, the problem with this series is what happened after Qiyou becomes Emperor shows to me he does not have the strength in character to be an emperor. He will be the 2nd reason why I highly recommend this series. A pointless villain. Also the fact that I know Northern Han is very cold hence the fur coat. Set under the backdrop of the turbulent Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdom period of 10th century Imperial China, follows the story of a kind and beautiful princess, Ma Fuya of Chu. 1 Season. If it is the story, better not. 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. Her pain, her hurt, her anger, her frustration, all at her son and his obsession over Ma Fuya was all on her face. ! and he answers back as he again I believe vomits blood Because you were never a mother to me and it was such a heartbreaking scene. 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. The series in the end explains it is because she wanted to divert her husbands attention away from Qiyou. It felt like a repeat for whatever she would do next. I am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is not the greatest actor ever, I think this sentence alone is wrong grammatically. Whilst I am not a fan of his death scene since I blame Ma Fuya for it, I do like one line he spoke; Flowers do bloom in the cold Northern Han, there can be spring in Northern Han and I will always tear up a bit when he said that as I shall then do a Ma Xiangyun; MA!!! Even when he felt disappointed with Liancheng, he always came back and to help Liancheng. But on screen, somehow her personality is dimmed, sometimes she seems like a total airhead when I know she isnt, giving me an impression she is not terribly bright and she almost always manages to make you hate the character she plays, save for Zhiwei which you will hate in part 2 later on. Ever seen kissing scenes? I like the fact that he had no reason for his betrayal to Fuya. However only in rare circumstances should dubbed voice be used and with Kara Hui, it magnified her excellent performance. Her mother, her father, her husband, everyone and still she manages to keep her hands clean. He harbours unrequited romantic affections for Fuya and searches for her in vain after her kingdom's usurpation. He has no regrets or decency when it comes to pitting mother (Empress Du) against son (Qiyou). And then he became the first and foremost reason, until I decided my heart can have 2 men at one go although Wallace (oh how my heart flutters) remains numero uno since then.if(typeof ez_ad_units!='undefined'){ez_ad_units.push([[320,50],'jaynestars_com-small-rectangle-1','ezslot_27',643,'0','0'])};__ez_fad_position('div-gpt-ad-jaynestars_com-small-rectangle-1-0'); In episode 1 this beautiful man, with the most beautiful head gear and a huge fur coat on his shoulder (like some dead purple fox draped over his shoulder) looking rather sad, melancholic and depressed all rolled into one. Review: "The Glamorous Imperial Concubine" (By Funn) Fuya entered the palace as concubine candidate for Qixing and they hit it off instantly. Viewers look forward to Ruby Lin and Wallace Huos chemistry in Light the Night season 2. However the lyrics to all songs are meaningful and well written with memorable melody. But there was some problem with the script; one scene Qiyun told his dad he wants to be emperor. 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. I know the answer. What a tragic character. Yes he does kiss like he is puffing into her mouth (that is Hong Xiaoling). Another reason is of course Yan Kuan. Oh how I so wanted this Yun Zhu to die. It was a fantastically acted scene and a great scene as well. Trouble brews when the emperor wants Fuya for herself whilst Liancheng discovers Fuya is alive and thinking she is held against her will, he wages a war against Shu, resulting in Qiyou being imprisoned and Fuya back in the arms of Liancheng. I suspect she deliberately cast all the hot guys for ratings purposes and the less than pretty ones so that she shines more. He actually looks better as he is older and he seems taller too! He looks beautiful at any angle, and mostly at extreme closeups. The actor is ok but it is the character I cant stand. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne, and brutally wipes out her family. A sitting princess has everything taken away from her by her power-hungry uncle, but can she get it all back? 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. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine. But for any Wallaces fans or would be fans, no doubt you will agree he looks great in here. Drama. Watch The Glamorous Imperial Concubine | Netflix I did have one question throughout; I was wondering Why wont Ma Fuya love him? because if she did, problem solved. Ma Fuya is left an orphan, and she escapes with the help of a eunuch. He has epic eyebrows, beautifully shaved I suppose you can say that. Problem with this series is it is either at some hill side or that one beautiful lakeside or most at Hengdian. Why did Wallaces character never love his own wife either? He seems cold and evil but you cant deny these brothers are very very close. 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. She walks in and out like it is some hotel and even had sex with him. He is a cunning intelligent good man. And Lianxi loves Liancheng and would do anything for him. She is terribly annoying and she plays her part well. letvdramas2. And her I want to revive Chu Kingdom comes and goes as and when she finds convenient. He sends her away out of affection, not wanting her embroiled in the political struggle but as she sees it, she isnt even fit to die for him or with him like Fuya will. Kang Qunzhi as Lin Muyi, Empress of Chu. It boils down to one problem, to me at least; I find no sincerity in Rubys performance. Synopsis. Poor Liancheng cuckolded.

There are many whys with his actions, why he does this, why he thinks that, why he said this, the entire series was fascinating to me because of Liu Lian Cheng. It is the only time he ever talked to her, only time he ever touched her. CharacterThere are plenty of hot men in this series and when I say hot men, even the old ones are handsome. This series suffers from character development because a better part of this series is used to develop the characters of Liancheng, Qiyou and Du Feihong. Like I said, there is similarity between Qiyou and Liancheng. For the others, no particular scene stood out for me. I suppose if you must have a weird guy that is Lianxi, then you must have weird girl, Muo Chou. Because Mao Zijun as Ma Duyun is simply not interesting enough to hold my attention. That to me is subtlety at its best. The more you know about Lian Cheng, the more perplexed youre with him. I cant fault her in all that. No one does it better than him, the weight of the world on his shoulders and he looks like he doesnt give a damn, which is what makes his Liu Lian Cheng so irresistible. For one, Liu Lian Cheng is a conflicted character that will seize and demand your attention and make you love and hate him and to Wallaces credit, he did not hold back. +$12.00 shipping.

Second marriage gave her shelter to heal her broken heart. Like he is a crushed man. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine S1. I cant remember but Duyun killed her. If it is the girls, maybe dont watch. In fact everyone in here makes life difficult for themselves. She plays Du Fei Hong as someone so powerful in looks and yet so fragile in emotions. She does have good taste in men by the way. Empress Du Fei Hong is, I am willing to admit why this series rocks. Past his icy cold and calculative demeanor, he is gentle, warm and passionate . The scene where he tore her clothes and forced himself on him, she protesting and yet you know she wants it. Anyway Qiyun is a good guy, a better brother who in the end became emperor when Qiyou died. And the last one, Duyun dies after Fuya stabbed him on the neck with her hairpin. Ma Fuya is the beloved daughter of the Emperor of Chu and is someone highly opinionated and intelligent who is also the peoples princess, beloved by all except for her jealous cousin, Ma Xiangyun who gets ignored most of the time. But she still had Qiyou until her husband cruelly took him away from her, and her bitterness also spill over to Qiyou because Qiyou unknowingly whilst trying to win her favours also grew close to Mei and she hated Mei. Quite a huge reality check to see her so messy, so dirty and bloodied as well. Fair comments? and indeed that was the fate of her character) is competent. Movies . Since this is not his love story. I am not sure if she loved this guy or hated that guy.

It was first aired in China on HBS on 30 September 2011.[2]. The Glamorous Imperial Concubine. The entire death scene made it out as if he was being pushed as a pawn in the struggle for power. For me Wallace Huo made my day. Yang Kaichun as Yunzhu, Palace maid. One more is the wedding night kissing scene. And even then when she buried the flower she poignantly said she hopes to meet him again in next life where she will love him. This is one character who doesnt know love at all, worse than Liancheng, he just want to possess and so we can assume he rapes the conscious but drugged out Liansi. The competition of best mother is between 2 women; Empress Dowager Dugu of Northern Han. 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. 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. In this time of warring kingdoms and political upheaval, Fuya's uncle usurps the throne and brutally kills her father. My surprise for that scene is why didnt Fuya slap him and drag Liansi out? But I suppose that suits her character; if she is so likeable how can you go YEAH! His evil wife died from.. Broadcast period: 2011-Sep-30 start. Acting for Two: Ruby Lin plays both Fu Ya and Consort Mei. Later on in the series, you will see interactions with his mother, the Empress Dowager and believe me when I say he is the King of Retorts. Why he did what he did to the woman he clearly loved? But the dubber chosen for Wallace has a similar voice as Wallace, except accent is more neutral. His best crying scene has to be when he was by the river, munching on the persimmon cake and left tear down, then right tear down as he wonders why wont Fuya love him. 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. Sowhats that word.. so.. amateur! NO WAY! Another notable scene is the moving death monologue by his faithful eunuch to Qiyou where he urged Qiyou to be emperor and to save himself. Therefore is the completion of Meng Qiyou, unloved, unwanted, the unluckiest man, ever. But Ruby Lin is no singer so you can say this decision to sing all the songs are for PR sake and maybe a bit of vanity involved. Why the woman with so much lipstick and yet the man after some hot kissing still looks bubblegum pretty on his lips? MovieRadish Warrior Engsub | Bo Huang, Yi Huang,Haitao Du,Shuliang Ma,Xiaolei Huang. A lot of TVB actors and actresses have to go to China to be challenged as an actor and most live up to that challenge because theyre already rather good actors before they left TVB. No doubt Empress Dowager Dugu loves Liancheng. Of all the female characters in this series, I hated Fuya the most because she is the cause of everyones misery. List full episode of The Glamorous Imperial Concubine - Kissasian I wrote an almost episode per episode review here with lots of pictures. A pity his real voice is not used or if used, he certainly sounded higher pitched. 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. I am under no illusion that Wallace Huo is the greatest actor ever? I actually thought no he is not dead. Emperor of Shu dies from same poison as Emperor of Chu. I mean I hate Ma Fuya too but Ma Xiangyun is just one nasty woman. The sets seem familiar. Maybe because he has done a lot to atone for his sins and also because Ma Fuyas father would have thrown away his kingdom sooner or later with his almost incestuous fixation over his only daughter which I find annoying to say the least.
