Still watching The Legend of Xiao Chuo and Taiping is WILD

first he forces a woman to marry him because she doesn’t care about status and would support him even if he wasn’t a prince!! so great how much she cares about her sisters!! he must have her!!

SOMEHOW he manages to win her over (don’t ask me how)

then he tries to murder her baby nephew while constantly lying to her and is SHOCKED when she tells him to get lost and he whines about how he wanted to make her empress but she doesn’t even love him :(:(

BINCH her not prioritizing status was the whole reason you forced her into this marriage initially??

Also his subordinate stabbed her weaponless+physically harmless maid right in front of her leading her shortly before this to lose her pregnancy due to the shock of witnessing it I’m???

He also murdered her father but she doesn’t know that yet lmao

gotta give this drama that when characters are wildly infuriating they are usually meant to be.

he wanted her because she loves her family and then he went ahead and killed her family and was SURPRISED she ruined his plan and told him to get lost???

incredibe back to hitting that play button and continuing this wild ride. Not counting his brother, Taiping from the start has been the most nasty character in this show and I appreciate that he is meant to be even if he was “nice” to his wife (until he tried to murder half her family and if you disregard how the marriage happened in the first place)

#the legend of xiao chuo #forced marriage mention / #miscarriage mention / #and ahh Anzhi my girl trying to murder everyone #it was a good attempt #(have I decided to stan this doomed minor villain out of sheer spite? YEP)

Tiffany Tang as Xiao Yanyan Legend of Xiao Chuo 燕云台 Episode 24

I'm on the last ep of Legend of Xiao Chuo

And it's been a good time -- a biopic of an Empress-Regent of the Liao Dynasty about a thousand years ago, starting from a wild girl who likes to wrestle and ride fast horses, into an elder stateswoman, and of her two sisters.

I don't have the background to judge the authenticity of the historic portrayal, but it's an interesting set-up. A country that was recently conquered and has two administrations for the rulers and the ruled. The FL and various other characters we're supposed to like are pushing for reform that binds the two halves more equitably, and there's a lot of pushback from the nobility of one side. 'We conquered this place fair and square. Why are you taking my privileges away?' There's also a lot of clashing of politics: the three sisters marry three different claimants to the throne, all of whom make a solid play for it. There's... friction. Costume design is well thought out, cinematography strong.

It's a great story for Women Who Do Things. All three of the sisters are trained in statecraft and warfare, and use that training at various times, there's other noblewomen intriguing in the background. And the older and younger Madams Han, raised in a more stay-at-home style, are also women of character and worth. The relationship between Yanyan and her eldest sister Hunian had me near in tears at several points. Heavy roles, and actresses up to the weight.

There was a big theme of private vs. public life, that you will lose part of the one if you move into the other, and the fight to preserve human affection inside a role you can't sacrifice because someone has to do it. As we see Yanyan increasingly layered, lacquered, and jewelled, the little wrestler still very fierce but now walking slowly along a colonnade with her hands clasped in front of her waist, etiquette just so, as other people sacrifice the person they might have married, or their peace, or, or, or... I really felt the grief.

It's a long story. A lot happened and then there was a timeskip so I took a break of several months and picked it up again. There were a few times Yanyan was not the most interesting character on screen -- no shade to Tiffany Tang here, but Yanyan's sisters and their husbands were colourful, and Emperor Mingyi a boiling cauldron of charisma and dubrious life choices -- but she finished very strong. The last big plot line was between Yanyan and her eldest sister -- Jane-Bennet-with-a-regiment -- and. and. goddamn, I think I need a hanky.

Anyway anyway. If you like historicals, or dramas with interesting female characters, I would definitely recommend.

The Silmarillion as a Cdrama [1/?]: Tiffany Tang as Aredhel

"She was younger in the years of the Eldar than her brothers; and when she was grown to full stature and beauty she was tall and strong, and loved much to ride and hunt in the forests. There she was often in the company of the sons of Fëanor, her kin; but to none was her heart’s love given. Ar-Feiniel she was called, the White Lady of the Noldor, for she was pale, though her hair was dark..."

My Favorite Chinese Doramas!

Eternal Love!

Three Lives, Three Worlds: Ten Thousand Miles of Peach Blossoms. The series is inspired by the book (Pillow Book: Three lives, three worlds).

I looove the series, and the books not so much but they're still good.

It's a xianxia about Gods, Kingdoms and Animals that cultivate immortality.

Princess Weiyoung :)

It's a wuxia story about a princess who loses everything and has to up her game in order to live! Anything more I could say is probably a spoiler.

Empress of China

This show is based on the real story of Wu Zetian, who actually owned many names among the one used the most here - Meiniang.

She was the only Empress of China, ruling all by herself and not as a mother to the Emperor and covering a whole Dinasty full of riches and prosperous time for China.

Really goooood! And it tries to be as accurate as possible, so we might learn a bit about History here.

The Legend of Xiao Chuo

Yanyan is one of the three daughter of the Khitan Prime Minister. She is impetulant and always tried to prove herself useful to the Empire. Nobody seems to take her seriously though...

The series accompanies Yanyan through life while she slowly grows up and finds her fit in the world.

This is also based on the true story of Empress Xiao Yanyan (953–1009), who ruled during the Liao Dyansty. This series also does a great job in exploring Khitan culture! Soooo there's a lot more History to learn here, also.

Oh My General!

Ah Zhao is not the typical lady... She fights as an army's general for the crown as a living! But then she had to marry a womanizer, feminine man. That's fine, except they never get along.

This is a lot of the funny side, things are just not serious at all. Don't think too much, just laugh when it's funny and is should be great.

lol still watching The Legend of Xiao Chuo and reading people’s reactions to the episodes

everyone losing their shit at Mingyi doing his best to ruin protagonist’s life like...

we established he doesn’t treat women as people when he went off at Anzhi, but she was evil (for not wanting to die for no reason) right so it didn’t count. the shock!!

anyway please drama let me hate the piece of shit and don’t try to sell me on him again later on, just let protagonist+Anzhi murder him or something

#the legend of xiao chuo #me having feelings about media #and then there's the Mingyi fans they're the worst #'ohh he's thinking of the country' lmao he should have given protagonist an army #instead of insisting on making her his wife without TALKING to her are you kidding me #literally he could have made her his advisor officially or even inofficially but nahh
