Watchthe latest C-Drama, Chinese Drama Legend of Yun Xi Episode 50 with English subtitle on iQIYI | iQ.com. The heroine had been regarded as the most beautiful woman within 4,000 years. What charm does she have?
Han Yun Xi Ju Jing Yi enters an arranged marriage with the kingās brother Long Fei Ye Zhang Zhe Han. Although they start out as distant strangers, they grow to respect and love one another as Han Yun Xi uses her skills as a poison expert to help her husband navigate the machinations of the court. This manor is mine. And you are, of Yun Xi Let it be said that I adore the enemies/strangers to lovers tropes. I do. When itās well done. But you see this quote up there? Yeah? Yeah. A Good Start There was a lot of potential in Legend of Yun Xi. The arranged marriage clichĆ© can be exceedingly charming when done well, and the lighthearted atmosphere of the show could have worked really well. Alas, the script persisted in going for the bad rather than the good, and by the time I got to midpoint of Legend of Yun Xi, I was cringing more often than not. Let me explain. While the first few episodes started out rather well with a determined heroine who, instead of going to her arranged marriage like a lamb to slaughter, has her own agenda and a male protagonist the very definition of stoic badass, Legend of Yun Xi quickly ended up resorting to eternal clichĆ©s and abusive relationships. How? Simple. Down We Go Letās start with the main romance. While the male lead does show on occasion that he cares for his wife, the numerous occurrences of him just expecting her to serve him like some glorified slave, saying that she belongs to him, locking her up in her rooms, and so on just made me cringe so hard it was horrifying. His noble idiot moment, which weāre supposed to believe happens because he wants to protect her, is rendered moot by the fact that she has literally nowhere to go, which heās aware of. Which brings me to the second unhealthy aspect of this supposed āromanceā Han Yun Xiās life revolves around Long Fei Ye. Every single thing she does is related to him in some way or other. When heās not there, sheās thinking of him. When theyāre fighting, sheās staring longingly at the door, waiting. When sheās hanging out with her āfriendsā, sheās only ever doing it so she can get something for him. Sheās got nothing and nobody thatās her own, and nowhere to go should he one day get tired of her. Sheās completely dependent on his good will. Ever Heard About Communication? Also, I just kept having the feeling that he whistled her to heel whenever he needed her medical skills, then sent her back to her courtyard like some sort of glorified dog. Basically, he was using her. And whenever they had an argument, she was always the one to apologize, even if the only reason sheād made a mistake was because he kept not telling her things. So many times things could have worked out so much better if heād only just talked to her instead of just retreating into his palace of machismo to plan with his men. Romance Who? Donāt Know Her. You know what else bothered me? Itās that they never fought for each other. Every time he distanced himself from her, she demurely stepped back, and every time she had an issue with him, he turned himself into a wall of ice until the storm was gone. They never talked their issues out, only allowed them to pass and then carried on as if nothing had happened. In the end, I could never believe in that love because they justā¦ never held on to each other. Although itās true that Yun Xiās entire life quickly started to revolve around Long Fei Ye, whichā¦ not healthy. As for the secondary relationship. Oh wow. Iāve rarely seen anything so blatantly abusive. The girl has been bullying the guy ever since they were children. So of course, he doesnāt want to marry her. Cue her stalking him 24/7, going so far as to drugging him and tying him to his bed so she can sleep with him not in the sex sense but still and, wait for itā¦ tricking him into marrying her. Excuse me while I go combust somewhere. And the worst part of it all is that literally everybody around them thinks itās normal. Not one of those people steps in, instead laughing at this poor man for being ābossed aroundā by a girl. A Word to Young People Everywhere Of course, he falls for her anyway. Let it be known to young men everywhere that if a girl stalks and hits and drugs you, sheās definitely the one for you. Now that I think about it, also let it be known to young women everywhere that if a man tells you you belong to him, calls you only when he needs you to do something for him, and never apologizes, then heās the one for you, too. Deep breaths. Boring Plot-wise, well. I fast-forwarded on all of the politics, the royal harem inner wars, and prince battlesāthough I did take the time to feel sorry for the crown prince. That wasnāt why I was there. There were one part that I definitely would have loved to see more of, namely the white-haired supersoldiers there was one scene there that was really powerful at the beginning of the show, but the effect of which Legend of Yun Xi tragically failed to ever reproduce over the course of the next 45 episodes. It was certainly an interesting concept, but poorly developed. It was all just soā¦ predictable. Finally, the acting was nothing to fawn over. While Zhang Zhe Han is certainly very handsome, his expression range seems limited to widening his eyes in a threatening way. In fact, his face is so stiff that it feels unnatural to see him smile when it does happen, which isnāt very often, let me tell you. Ju Jing Yi was fine, but her part wasnāt a very emotional one, and her character wasnāt that deep, so there wasnāt that much for her to demonstrate either. In fact, I think Yalkun Merxat was the one who stood out the most, probably because his boyish excitement at seeing his crush and overall playful demeanor was infinitely more endearing and sympathy-inducing than Zhang Zhe Hanās expressionlessness. I mean, I like tall, dark and broody as much as anyone else but thereās such a thing as too much, you know. Why the Love Triangle, Why? Speaking of Yalkun Merxat, I made myself silently suffer through 48 episodes of love triangle but.. I donāt get why heās in love with her? In fact, I donāt get why Long Fei Ye is in love with her either. I mean, sheās bright and cheerful and puts up with a lot of crap butā¦ she keeps being led around by the nose by literally everyone and their mother, remains horribly submissive to her ungrateful husband, falls into traps left and right, has to be rescued all the timeā¦ Even her medical skills arenāt her own, but came from a magical bracelet that has literally no use but to impart her with instant knowledge. Because studying is for losers, obviously. In the end, the production quality might have made up for some of this, but it really didnāt, because it was terrible. I like to think Iām nice enough as an audience, and I donāt have the sharpest eye when it comes to CGI so Iām pretty tolerant, but even I could tell right from episode 1 that the special effects were just bad. It felt like watching those old computer games from the 90s where stuff would go through walls and characters would have the weirdest movements. This was the exact same thing. The sound mixing was absolutely horrible as well. There were two episodes in the first ten where I could hardly hear the awkward and repetitive dialogue since the music was so loud, and it just feels like there wasnāt a single moment of silence after that. The music was mostly dissonant, never matching the scenes, which just killed the atmosphere for pretty much the entire show. All in Allā¦ ā¦You might have noticed, but Legend of Yun Xi made me a teeny tiny bit angry. I was going to give it two stars because it still had a weird charm and a few cute scenes that helped me suffer through its entirety, but Iāll take one off because it was just so painful to force myself through the second half.

HistĆ³ria AtuaĆ§Ć£o/Elenco Musical Voltar a ver Esta resenha pode conter spoilers Since I've loved historical Chinese dramas so far, I tried to look for other high rated or underrated dramas and I came across this one. The reviews were good so I gave it a try and boy, I wasn't disappointed. This drama for me is a story follows Han Yun Xi Jung Jin Yi, a poison doctor who suddenly had to marry the king's subordinate Long Fei Ye Zhang Zhe Han, I think he was a duke in the story just because the king distrusts him and he thinks that him marrying someone ugly would distract him from any political aspirations. She is then given the title of royal consort and even hired by the empress dowager to spy on Fei Ye so basically they didn't like him to be powerful. The story starts from there and sometimes it makes me laugh on how the duke's character is kind of too serious? And like all leads, when the male lead is serious, the female lead usually is optimistic and animated. The start cohabiting and live as a married couple in name and eventually they start to fall for each other. I liked all the other side characters in the story. Sometimes quite annoyed at the 2nd male lead Gu Qi Shao Yalkun Merxat though. He was the kind of second lead that I wouldn't ship with the female lead. He played his character so convincingly that I hated the character, good job. The thing with these kinds of dramas is that politics will always be a major part of a historical drama and that's a fact. The way it's executed however is the most important thing and would be and advantage if executed well. There was a good amount of politics, drama, romance, and comedy in the story and I liked it. I think this fantasy/historical drama did just that. The ending though is a bit confusing. Though there had 2 endings, kind of a choose your own adventure series. The ending raised so many questions after me being sad at what I thought was their had no problems with the cast because they carried out their characters well. I hated who I need to be hated and empathized who I need to empathize. But ohmygod. The leads. Jung Jin Yi and Zhang Zhe Han are OOZING WITH CHEMISTRY. I'm not sure if this was an underrated drama but if it were, please do watch this. They look so good together! Zhang Zhe Han looks like he was made to wear historical costumes. He looks so good in it. I cannot stress enough how great their chemistry was. It really was. MUSICOne of those Chinese dramas where I appreciated the OST. This may be a low budget drama but they definitely did it right. There was recall with the song and I even added the songs in my VALUEDefinitely yes. For their chemistry, yes. And especially for the pretty, pretty Zhang Zhe Han. Love him. Esta resenha foi Ćŗtil para vocĆŖ?
