About the Mighty Chinese Woman

Do you often get carried away, feel annoyed with the behavior of the antagonist?

If yes, please watch the drama “Ni Chang”. There is the figure of Yan Wen Xiu who is very annoying. Yan Wen Xiu's malicious attempts were all made. Starting from locking Ni Chang, slandering Ni Chang, to telling people to break Ni Chang's fingers so they can't embroider anymore.

Yan Wen Xiu's behavior of wanting to marry Su Wen Yu was a point in itself. How the trick was done so that he could still get married without the presence of Su Wen Yu who firmly rejected him.

However, the screenwriter skillfully aimed at the other side of Yan Wen Xiu. This beautiful woman who is always vicious turns out to be haunted by feelings of guilt for accidentally setting the hermitage on fire and causing Master Yuan Niang's death.

Yan Wen Xiu also wept bitterly on the first day of having to give up his body for power.

Humans have two sides, right?

The drama “Ni Chang” reminds me of the Korean drama “A Jewel in the Palace” about a girl named Seo Jang-Geum who started her career from zero to become a cooking expert, then became a healer.

Likewise, Ni Chang, who started his career as a textile expert, continued to study herbs and became a herbal expert as well.

Unfortunately, the writer of the drama "Ni Chang" is not coherent in compiling the story. There are fragments that do not connect smoothly. Even in some episodes it feels annoying..

Fortunately, the cinematography of the drama "Ni Chang" is very pleasing to the eye. The costumes of the players are adorned with waving, very beautiful. This is indeed a striking difference between Korean dramas and Chinese dramas. Costumes in Korean dramas strengthen the character of the actor/actress to look dashing and beautiful.

But overall the drama "Ni Chang" is quite recommended. Fifty episodes just feels right. The love story of Ni Chang and his prince is not exaggerated.

And of course the scenes of Bi Wen Jun as Ou Yang Ziyu who has amnesia and acts like a child.

Really entertaining. Contrary to his role as doctor Ai Jing Chu, in the drama "Sweet Teeth" which is cold as ice in the north pole.

Time Travel of a Foodie

The drama Gourmet in Tang Dynasty reminds me of the Korean drama "Mr Queen", but sweeter. The reason may be that Yan Xiao Xiao is a woman who entered Yuan Wan Er's body who is also a woman.

While in the Korean drama "Mr Queen", Queen Kim So-Yong was entered by the spirit of Chef Jang Bong-Hwan. Without even a funny scene, the audience's fantasy is already wandering.😀😀

Before the drama "Mr Queen" aired in 2020, the Chinese entertainment industry had produced a similar drama titled "Go Princess, Go! (2015) Showing on the YouTube channel, I only watched a few episodes, then stopped. The drama is bad. Make you feel good.

Although made based on the same novel, "The Promotion Record of a Crown Princess" by Xian Cheng, the drama Go Princess, Go! is made funny, complete with interior design that wants to be witty, but is actually ridiculous.

Unlike the drama "Gourmet in Tang Dynasty". Overall it's okay, even if you make an analogy, the storyline of this drama feels like riding a 4-wheeled vehicle whose drivers are just learning to drive.😢😢

Li Zi Xuan who plays as Yuan Wan Er dominates the story. The acting is sweet, witty and cute. Plus a flirtatious soundtrack, and the duration is not too long / long, the Chinese drama "Gourmet in Tang Dynasty" is really recommended as an entertaining spectacle.

I read the comments on the mydramalist site, many viewers hoped that there would be a continuation of Yuan Wan Er and Bai Yi Ming's romance,

Yes, we'll just have to wait.

Choose Lover or Friend?

Wow, the music is cool! Cheerful spirit. As if made specifically, making the drama "She was Pretty" as a whole was sweet.

Indeed, it can't compete with the original version which makes it exciting.. Kim Hye-Jin and Min Ha Ri's friendship is awesome because they love each other so much that they call each other "my husband-my wife".

Hwang Jung Eum's expressive acting in the original is also hard to match. As an analogy, the original version of “She was Pretty” is like a fruit cake full of flavor, which is made from various fruits, honey and nuts.

While the Japanese version of the drama "She was Pretty" only tastes sweet. Even though it's still far superior to the Chinese version, the drama "Pretty Li Hui Zhen" is fiddly and poorly cast.

Fuka Koshiba as Ai Sato (of course according to the scenario) is not as expressive as Hwang Jung Eum as Kim Hye Jin. But the chemistry with Kento Nakajima as Sosuke Hasebe, is no less slick.

Drama remake auto compared to the original version. Must be better or different. Well, the difference between the Japanese version of the drama "She was Pretty" is in its cinematography. Nice!

Cameramen play with angles, lighting, and other techniques. So that the audience is spoiled with beautiful visualizations.

Want to watch the drama She was Pretty? The original version/Korean drama can be seen on the RCTI+ app, the Chinese version of “Pretty Li Hui Zhen” is on Viu.com, while the Japanese version of “She was Pretty” recently ended on the WeTV app.
