[Mainland Chinese Drama 2016] The Imperial Doctress 女医·明妃传

[BellyButton]

Awwww... QiYu and YunXian is a loving couple.  Apparently, QiYu is a very gentle man compared to QiZhen.  No wonder YunXian prefers QiZhen.

See how rough and quarrelsome this dude is!   YunXian couldn't stand him.  

 

Never mind if QiZhen didn't get the beautiful girl.  He got to hug her on stage (27 January Nanjing press conference even).  Hope Nicky Wu wouldn't mind.

One more promotional vid:

This vid is funny. Wallace was asked whether this is the first time he played Emperor. He said no, then went on to talk about the advantage of being an emperor is that he gets to sit down all the time whereas the rest has to keep bowing to him.  Wallace's typical dry humour.

He's talking funny probably because of his false beard.

@irilight  I have sent in the support form to Dramafever.  I notice that when I click on the page, I get the message "Not available in your country".   Keeping my eyes, toes, fingers crossed that we could get licence and subbing for this drama.  Hopefully, I am able to watch the telecast from Dragon or Jiangsu TV tonight (Beijing 7.30pm).  Will post the link here if it is available.  

More beautiful stills...

I only managed to catch the last 15 minutes of the Ep2 so I couldn't comment much.  Wallace Huo Vietnam Fan Club posted a link to the live broadcast. http://welbi.cf/dongphuong/Next broadcast is tomorrow ie. 14 Feb at 7.30pm (Beijing time).  

Tan is a very intelligent, elegant and well spoken girl.  And I think Shi Shi looks and perfect for that role.  QiZhen/Wallace is just the opposite of Bai Zi Hua here.  He's loud, impetuous and a bully.  

[Mangoberrie]

Watched the first two episodes and absolutely love it so far. Everyone seems very fitting for their roles and the storyline is moving quite quickly. So far, don't like LSS's father in the drama. I understand he has his reasons, but he's so mean! 

 

[BellyButton]

I haven't watch the two eps yet.  Something is wrong with viki access so I have to try again later.

An artist (realtwo) rendition of Emperor QiZhen.  (Realtwo is a very talented hobby artist from China.  He uses make up palette for drawing).

Debating if I should watch this one.  

Wallace doesn't get the girl....CP3 all over again....though

the costume and visuals looks very nice.

MOD EDIT: Please use spoiler tags for spoilers

@ktn1122  

No, he didn't get his girl.  But I think YunXian eventually loves him but I think because she was his brother's consort, I guess it is not appropriate to be together.

 Anyway, this drama is fiction though the names of the characters were real.  In reality, the emperor had nothing to do with the doctress, Yun Xian.

MOD EDIT: Please use spoiler tags for spoilers

@Mangoberrie, yes the father is very harsh.  I suppose those days, parents were very authoritative.  But there was a reason why he was so angry and I sympathised with him.  The family was persecuted when the grandfather did not cure the empress, and was told never to be involved in medicine again.  There is a risk.  If it is discovered, the whole family could be executed.  And of course, those days women were supposed to be submissive and grow up to be mothers and wives.  No such thing as a career.  

Pretty fast moving for the first two eps  No dragging.  The costumes are very elegant.  It's colourful but yet not gawdy.  Some palace plotting going on.  I think this drama shows the growth of all the main characters from young to middle age.  

This BTS is very funny.  Let's see how they 'ride the horses'.

congrats for the broadcast, I want to show my support even though I'm partially worry about my heart while watching this, 

my initial reason to watch is to see Wallace Huo became emperor, he should be one, 

but then... I can't deal peacefully with heartbreak again . . .

@BellyButton wait...does Wallace really not get the girl at the end? I mean is it not like in Sound Of The Desert where she love one but gets later togther with the other? 0.0
