I've never watched a drama of Wallace Huo's (I just know him from the MVs you post on your blog), but I gotta admit there's just something about him...I didn't look twice when I saw him first in pictures, but he's so charismatic on screen (and I have no idea what he's even saying cus there are no subs :P).
Yeah it's based on a novel where the main character is a princess of a fallen dynasty and she becomes the concubine of 3 emperors so it's using her narrative to basically describe the error which was really messy politically with the rise and fall of different countries and such.
I know the novel is a tragedy and I heard they did change the series adaptation to be a HEA instead from what I heard.
Also, I'm of the same opinion with YK and WH. I'm hoping YK can break out with this role.
Thanks! From what I can glean from spcnet (and the trailer bears it out), they are mainly concentrating on her relationship with two of the three.
I heard different things about the ending of the drama but it's a period piece so chances of happy ending is 0.5% if it goes as usual.
I really adore YK and think he is ridiculously underrated. I don't get it - he can act, he looks perfect in period get-up, he's got a screen presence and he's utterly hot. WTF, cdrama world! Get it together! I don't think he can match up to Wallace as far as sheer screen-burning charisma goes, and the trailer bears it out, but then who can?
If I were Ruby's character, I'd have really hot obsession sex with Wallace on odd days and righteous OTP sex with YK on even :P Problem solved. :)
You know, between that, FengMi's Tiger Amulet drama, The Royal Harem, the Zhang Han/Bai Bing drama and the upcoming Liu Bei-Xiang Yu drama, I am going to be wallowing in period cdramas. Ah, heaven!
LOL, that's how I prefer it too. I used to just watch wuxia but then I branched out into historical drama especially since wuxia started permeating other dramas that aren't really wuxia.
And yeah, YK really has all the qualities that should make him more of a lead than just a frequent support character or cameo but that's all he does so I'm hoping he'll be able to show off his main lead chops. Da Ren Wu gypped him. I was so annoyed at his ending.
Also, with all the UST going on, I think that's likely what Ruby's character metaphorically does. LOL
Yes, I find I prefer straight period drama to wuxia, though I like the latter too.
Argh, Da Ren Wu! He was my favorite character! I can't believe they gave him a happy ending and THEN killed him off. ARGHARGHARGHARGH *tears out hair* WTF!!!
Also, with all the UST going on, I think that's likely what Ruby's character metaphorically does. LOL
I don't think it's just metaphorical. She is a concubine after all :P
