    Now I realize. Doesn't usually Empress Dowager call herself as 'Aijia'? Just like how Emperor call himself 'Zhen' and Empress as 'Bengong'. But in this drama, Empress Dowager didn't call herself as Aijia right? Is this because Qing dynasty didn't apply this type rule of how they call themselves? As I watch other dramas, imperial children call Emperor as Fuhuang but in Yanxi, they called QL as Huangama. Does anyone know?

     

    Yes, you are right. Empress Dowager normally calls her self "Aijia" but actually it exits in dramas or novels more than in the really historical documents. Some explanation from the internet say that this word was created and largely used in the Chinese operas in the old time. In the Qing Dynasty China was ruled by the Manchu people. A lot of greetings and titles in that era were all using Manchu language. i.e. Huangama: Huang is Royal, Ama is father. Huang EhNiang: Huang is Royal, EhNiang is mother. In ep4, the first encounter of Fuheng and YingLuo, Fuheng said you should not look down on men, the imperial guards are all warriors. Actually Fuheng calls the warriors BaLongTu, which is also a Manchu word.

    People like empress fucha rarely stay alive long in the harem. WYL is cunning and ruthless only to those who commit evil first. but the important thing is to not let it consume you. She still has her easy-going and blunt personality which i love.

     

    Agree. This is the best part about YL and maybe the whole story. I dislike dramas which end up with a lot of negative afterthoughts. This drama makes me happy and motivated.:-D

    Reaching alot later in the drama now, and my opinion is that the only two women in the harem that QL loved is the late empress and YL. Their interaction is pure gold and YL is so manipulative but not in an evil way only to protect the people who she cares about. I honestly didn't care much for Fucha Fuheng and in my opinion they are pretty boring together during the first half of the drama. He gave up way to easily and YL personality has always been of the more cunning kind since the drama started and i think that QL suit her better.

    Ofcourse QL is not perfect. He's cold and ruthless which is needed for an emperor of that time to keep his empire under control. I remember a quote from Queen Seondeok drama i think : A king has to trust everyone and at the same time mistrust/be wary of everyone. Being an emperor is cold and lonely so he kinda project that personality to his harem. I saw it especially when the empress died and to me he didn't seem to know how to handle it the right way. Well, this is just my opinion :)

    Well said. I’m also a QL/YL shipper from the beginning. The tension between them just drew me in. I agree that QL did love the late empress but it takes more than love to maintain a relationship, especially between an emperor and an empress. The late empress was just too kind for her position and holding an unrealistic expectation to her relationship with the emperor. In ep10, befor YL was caught by QL when she criticized the ex emperor being neglecting his duty after the death of his favorite consort, the empress showed her desire for that kind of affection and relationship. This is one scene that clearly tells us the difference between the empress and YL. Actually what YL said is more like from a mind of an empress than the actual empress herself. 

     

    I actually found FH/YL was cute but was never into it. They two are like the mirror pair of QL and the empress, one is very rational, even ruthless and one is more soft and sentimental. This kind of relationship might work if they were not in the forbidden city. Unfortunately they were, hence the two relationships did not work. Wolf-Sheep relationship is not for the emperor and YL. So the two wolves end up together. The whole development of their relationship is total logical and convincing for me, not to mention there are so much fun watching they two trying to outwit each other. :-)

    Firstly i want to thank for all for your theory, i really liked it

     

    Please someone explain this, when YL accompanied QL eat, why De Sheng take out the meals and then QL asked him to take in that meals? Is it because De Sheng afraid YL with eat it all? LOL

     

    Sorry if someone already asked it, i just reached read until page 20, i can't refrain to ask this. I'll continue read again, thankyou

    Not that reason Lol. A lot of people has the misunderstanding about the life of emperors. They simply think they could do anything they want but actually on the contrary, they live with most rules. One of the most important rules is that since childhood they were taught not to show favor to anything, no favorite food, no favorite hobby, no favorite woman, etw. If an emperor shows his favor, it is an invitation to schemes, either to harm him or to purposely flatter him, both are deadly. Therefore when an emperor eats, he should just taste each dish a bit, then the servants will take the tasted dish away even if he likes it a lot. Of course, there were a lot emperors breaking rules but the rules were always there.

  5. In the EN post thread, as expected, there are a lot of discussion about the NQ/SS and NQ/MSS storylines. I found it very interesting. At the same time i found less people mentioning the acting of CFY here. Of course, his acting definitely strictly follows the directors instruction but still there is one very special trait about CFY: he could have chemistry with nearly everybody!

     

    The reason of the division between CPs is fundamentally because he looks good with both girls. Actually i even feel the stange chemistry between him and Ye Hong Yu and the tension between him and the princess, not to mention his natural interaction with Chen PiPi, Chao Xiao Shu, his master Yan Se, etc. The only established actor i could remember to have this kind of trait is Hu Ge. 

     

    The chemistry is such an uncatchable thing that you can not have it by learning or training. There are so many good actors out there, superb acting skills yet from time to time you still feel sth is missing or just simply out of the place when it comes to romance or bunding moments. 

     

    I am really looking forward to CFYs next project. I wish to see him to explore this side of him and have a bright future in his acting career.

    Qiong Yao is famous lols.... i really need to look up on it then lols :D 

     

    one of the most famous adaption was Huan Zu GeGe which propeller Ruby Lin, Vicky Zhao Wei and Fan Bing Bing into star dom.....

    Till now, there are pretty much three generations of Qiong Yao ladies already. First generation: Brigitte Lin Qing Xia, Lin Feng-Jiao, etc. Second generation: Chen Hong, Vivian Chen De Rong, etc. Third generation: Vicky Zhao Wei, Ruby Lin Xin Ru, Fan Bing Bing, etc. Most of them have kids already but not many adult kids follow their mothers path. I'm happy to see CFY be the different one. :-) btw, I'm looking forward to see Zhao Wei's girl on the screen in the future. She has totally her mother's eyes. super cute~~

    His mother’s dramas that I watched most of the time she was the second female lead. The ones that really nice were with Steve Ma-Vivian Chen and Steve Ma-Kathy Chow, forget the titles....

    Yes, all those Qioung Yao romance dramas. lol. This famous writer and producer lady does have good taste at choosing her FLs. All Qioung Yao ladys are memorablely pretty.

    Ah he is back in China, i wonder when he coming back to school in US. He has older brother called Chen Yuang and school in UK. I wonder how he look, and why he didn't follow his father footprints like CFY.

    The internet social environment in China is not the best. A lot of c-netizen are quite toxic. With the look like CFY, he got and is still getting attacks like ugly, wasting his moms gene, etc, not to mention his brother. It is actually good for Chen Yu Ang himself to stay away from the show business.

     

    You really have to have a strong heart if u want to stay in the front of the spotlight. I saw in some interview from youtube, CFY mentioned that he never actively searches the names of his parents in internet and now also seldom searches his own name. A smart move.

    OMG!!! Is that his mother?!?!?!?! I watched lots of her dramas during olden day and find her very pretty......:heart:

    Yes, I also find her very pretty. She has such elegance and the look of a traditional chinese beauty. I mean the round face and big chin. Nowadays so many pretty girls try all means including plastic surgery to get rid of big chins. The result is all sharp triangle faces which look like sisters. I can not remember these actresses faces but i could still remember Chen Hong after so many years.

    OMG!!!! Seriously??? That’s so cool!!!!! :D 3rd Sr sister is my most fave disciple of Fu Zi just because she’s low-key supporting NQ from the start. It’s just so funny that at the start, male students are ogling her. Who would’ve thought??? LMAO

    Hi I’m a fan of EN and new soompi user. Could not resist to register and join the topic. About the 3rd senior sister, another deep secret 

    Spoiler

    She is not only the Master of Demon Sect, she is actually the missing Sect Leader whom so many people are looking for. Nobody could find her because nobody thought she could stay in the academy and secondly she used to be a HE!!! A special demon cultivation technique which he chose to practice turned him from a grown man to a small girl. Fu Zi found her at her most vulnerable moment and brought her back to the academy to continue her cultivation. The technique needs 23 years to complete the full transformation and bring her back as one of the strongest cultivaters in the world. 

    That’s why I laughed so much when all the male students looking at her with  eyes.lol

  13. I have to admit, that i started to watch EN becuase of my curiosity about the son of Chen Kai Ge and Chen Hong. I just wanted to see how he looks like and how is his acting. The i got hooked from EP1:-). The production quality impressed me and the boys performance as well. 

     

    Everybody is talking about his director father. Actually his mother Chen Hong is very famous among older generations. She used to be FL in a lot of Chiung Yao dramas in 90s. A big star and true beauty at the time when plastic surgery was still uncommen. Unfortunately she did not continue her acting career after marriage. But still, even till today, if any online posts or videos talk about the most beautiful Chinese actresses in history, she is always be listed. Chen Feiyu definitely gets his good looks from his mom. :-).
