Last year's winner for Best Series.

wats the story abt?
-
It's about Palace politics coupled with two triangle love stories.Originally posted by huiz:wats the story abt?
The initial episodes showed the process which ladies who entered the palace as potential concubines undergo. Also interesting to note the different "titles" or levels of the potential concubines.
Most junior level : ju tsi
Next level: tup ying
Next : kuai yan
Next : fei
Sheren Tang acted very well as yu fei. Her facial expressions does all the "acting". However, Gigi Lai won the Best Actress instead and having watched the series twice, I do believe Gigi deserves the win. She had to portray more facets of her character and she did it brilliantly. But I must admit, I don't really like her crying face. She is beautiful but not when crying.
In my humble opinion, the best-looking crying face is Myolie Wu.

ooh i am just wondering how can someone look beautiful when she is crying

Yeap, I think so too. In fact, I enjoy their love story the best. That is, Gigi Lai and Bowie Lam.

Because the empress took the opportunity (rebels/riots) to "terminate" those who are a threat to her mah.Originally posted by Steph84:me oso.............. why cant they flee together meh... why muz die leh.. hai......
You see the ones who lock them up in the room? They are not the rebels but the ka kia of the empress, right?
The part where Bowie asked Gigi if she truly loves him? Oh, I re-wind a few times.
So sweet and touching.
Even the "rebels" who attacked Sheren Tang's (yu fei) chambers? They are also the empress ka kia. Only that ah song and his kawan are the rebels. -
i know la... i know is the emperess... but i dunno why the scriptwriter write the ending so chee cham.............Originally posted by littlestream:Because the empress took the opportunity (rebels/riots) to "terminate" those who are a threat to her mah.

Maybe I know how you feel? Like something amiss like that, right? Perhaps exactly how I felt when I watched Everlasting Regrets (Sammi Cheng). Powerful influence. I was still thinking about it after I turned off the TV and DVD player. Jia lat. No wonder Sammi needed time to snap out of her role. -

i muz go watch things like chicken little!!! Cheer up. 
Anyways, if you want humour, try War-of-In-Laws. It is hilarious. Myolie did brilliantly although she didn't win best actress. Liza won but gave Mylolie credits. It won Best drama for this year. I have a thread on it. Go check it out. -

Do you you like the love story between Gigi Lai and Bowie Lam? I love it!!!
Dragg.......watch the sort of modern version. Called The Charm Beneath. I have a thread on it. Just check out the pic. Modern version of back stabbing and domestic politics.
