@anon Isn't Wang Jing the male partner?

@llwy12 You've my standing ovation. Unfortunate truth but very well said. @elizabeth lol! It didn't dawn in me until you said it.

@elizabeth ^ is to point at your remark. I'm surprised that this caused confusion because it's a pretty common way to refer to a prior post in forums.

@elizabeth she agreed with you :) ^ is ^_^ I think. So happy smile + this = same comment she would make

Don't understand your reply.

@elizabeth ^ THIS.

Having sex and being a player are two different things. Good luck to him. Syphilis infections are on the rise.

I think like all people, celebrities can burn from the stress and workload. They may make a lot of money but they are only human and need some alone time away from fans and papparazzi. Hope he takes a trip overseas and finds some peace.

Wow! Two Yeung Gors!

They left out Andy and Sammi! So happy when they got back together.

@elizabeth " Princess Tai Ping was right in saying that her consort’s sacrifice was worthless as there was nothing they could do to her as she was the Princess. I really don’t see how the torture of a palace maid (considering no life was taken) was equate to the execution of a royal. And Princess Tai Ping was at the height of her power during this time." It's not to execute her. No one expected that anyway. It's more like kicking her out and force her into retirement and cutting her power source. Which will be easy by simply waiting for emperor to die. The princess isn't backed up by powerful husband or general though impliedly she has her own army but that's easy to deal with since Lee Long Kei will control the army so to speak. True the maid is nothing. But this new emperor wants to rule with mercy so had to show he has mercy. So technically if the husband never came forward Tai Ping would have been stripped off her title BUT will probably be allowed all the luxury but locked up in house arrest which was what I think our hero wants. Unless he really is so dumb to expect his father to execute her.

That plot reminds me of "When Heaven Burns".

I think in the future, the show should get an electronic counter to avoid this problem occurring again. Regardless of who was in wrong, Zheng Shuang needs to grow up and take better control of her emotions, especially in front of other people. Seh has terrible EQ which is not good for her public image.

They said this several years back. Hate it when they scream pregnancy when a woman starts to gain a bit of weight around the waist. But if Andy and Carol want to have another child, surrogacy would be a good option for their health.

That is good to hear. At least this can salvage the hard work of the team.

@passingby The plot is very superficial. You are correct. Maids and eunuchs are disposable and basically slaves. The masters can do whatever they want to them, especially the royals. Princess Tai Ping was right in saying that her consort's sacrifice was worthless as there was nothing they could do to her as she was the Princess. I really don't see how the torture of a palace maid (considering no life was taken) was equate to the execution of a royal. And Princess Tai Ping was at the height of her power during this time. There are other inconsistencies in the plot like how the dress of the Princess Consort was made before the person was finalised. I would get it if they did the design beforehand, but to make the dress beforehand is stupid since Sharon and Nancy have a different height and built and there is no way that an official costume can be made to a one size fits all. I am watching it because my dad wants to. The series is better than what I expected but still not very captivating. Alice and Savio are doing the best so far. I don't like how they try to rhyme the sentences, especially when the department head talk. It is like copying "Heart of Greed" rhyming and it is severely annoying in an ancient-theme drama. And don't like how the fighting is in slow motion.

I think her comments have revealed her values already. I always feel that couples who always reveal how much they are in love with each other are actually internally insecure.

@elizabeth Well-said! Considering I didn’t even like the first installment, part 2 seems like a downgrade so of course not interested in watching. I saw the trailer and to be honest, it doesn’t look appealing – the costume / dress doesn’t bother me as much (it rarely does, even in blatant instances when TVB actually recycles costumes from one series to another), but the speech / way of speaking does….most of the females seemed to be speaking their dialogue really slowly, like they were trying to enunciate every word….not sure if it was just those scenes in the trailer and “making of” show (which I only watched parts of) but the way they spoke sounded very unnatural and to me was distracting…. In terms of story – well, we already know that TVB rarely sticks to history so plot-wise I wouldn’t expect much but with TVB’s recent penchant toward editing their series to fit a certain agenda, I wouldn’t be surprised if the story ends up not making much sense. It’s already rumored that majority of Chrissie Chau’s scenes will be cut due to the ban on artists from Stephen Shiu Jr’s company, so depending on how big a role she had, that might affect the story adversely….and now they’re having problems getting the series approved to air in Mainland China (which is their target market), so depending on what the issue is with the delay in approval, that could affect things as well (meaning if it was certain scenes that didn’t pass censors, then most likely they will need to cut those as well). So far it’s not looking good at all….

@elizabeth very well said. There is a time that trailer looks more interesting than series lol.

@elizabeth well to be fair, they wear ugly beanies to cover their bald head in TVB production, and Chinese drama must look good, so either way, none of the girls will have their head shaved so might as well go with the prettier style lol
