Zhi fou zhi fou ying shi lü fei hong shou

I absolutely loved this drama. I'm watching it for the second time after five years, and it only made me love it even more-especially now that I can enjoy all the small details during the rewatch,. I can't describe every reason why I'd rate it 1000/10,.. but aside from the rich historical elements, the soundtrack is incredibly beautiful and layered.

The series also delves deeply into the psychological development of each character, making every arc feel meaningful.. I truly can't put into words how perfect this work of art and performance is. One of the best historical dramas ever made. A Work of Art.

Too many characters, watched the first time did not remember the characters, now is watching the second time... The heroine's acting is not good, and sometimes I am confused if I have a wrong understanding of the plot, and then go back ten minutes before to reconfirm.

The character setting of the hero has problems, early is a playboy, and later become a good husband.

I was pleasantly surprised by this drama thought it was going to be one of those long winded dramas were i would skip episodes but far from it i watched the whole 73 episodes.All the actors were excellent especially the women jealously,envy,hatred and love you have it all in this drama . I would recommend you give this drama watch you will love it.

I have to be honest, at first, when I decided to watch this series, I have low expectation. But my God, how wrong I was. Story of Ming Lan is a masterpiece I love this drama; I love the dialogue, i think it's genius. I love the plot, the scheme. This series is so smart, it's almost similar to Nirvana in Fire but at family level and I really think that it's even better than nirvana in fire. I love when all the character make move, try to outsmart one another, and how they think ahead and plan every move.

This series is shot beautifully and they pay attention to every detail. if you want to know chinese custom, tradition, and how they lived at the past, you should watch this series. it's almost like a documentary. It's very different from the untamed or eternal love: ten miles of peach blossom (another series that I love) but Story of Ming Lan has its own uniqueness

My recomendation is try to watch 10 episodes of this series before you decide whether this series is for you or not

Another cdrama that I almost dropped but drew me in completely by the second half. I got deeply attached to the characters that are fleshed out well. Sheng Minglan (Zhao Liying) is a feisty, intelligent and sensible illegitimate concubine-born girl of a government official. Gu Tingye (Feng Shaofeng) is the fearless, roguish legitimate son of a Marquis. Qi Heng (Zhu Yilong) is the proper doted son of a Duke. All are lovable. Minglan has great chemistry with her main romantic interests. The villains are evil to the core, not realizing they're evil and shamelessly complaining they're the ones wronged, twisting things around. The schemes and intrigues, both political and personal, are well written and implemented. I felt like I was part of the scenes, witnessing innocent people being wronged, villains trying to weasel their way out of sticky situations and justice being served. A satisfying watch.
