Oh, I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I like to watch palace dramas so much. Even though I may not be able to survive the first episode in the drama with my own intelligence, I still love watching them. Maybe I love them if I lack something. What? I really like the palace battle plot in the play. It feels so good.
1. "The Desire of the Golden Branch"?
2. "Mother's Grace to the World"?
3. "The Biography of Zhen Huan"?
4. "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang"
5. "Pleiades of the Sky"
Let's talk about these TV series in detail:
1. "The Golden Bough" "Desire"?
Douban score: 8.9
Reason for recommendation:
This drama can be said to be the originator of palace dramas and a classic costume drama of TVB , the concept is much higher than other subsequent palace battle dramas. Regardless of its conception, height or layout, it is among the best among domestic palace fighting dramas.
The ending of "The Desire of the Golden Branch" is more tragic and more meaningful. In other palace fighting dramas, the heroine succeeds in the end and reaches the top. But no woman can reach the top in "The Evil of the Golden Branch", because in the context of the era when women were enslaved, they could not escape the fate of being enslaved and like dolls.
2. "Mother Yi Tianxia"?
Douban score: 7.5
Reason for recommendation:
This drama tells the story of Wang Zhengjun and Fu Yao's lifelong struggles and fetters include the joys and sorrows of various characters. Wang Zhengjun's son was deceived by the Zhao sisters arranged by Fu Yao, and ended up doing all kinds of ridiculous things without distinguishing between right and wrong. The Zhao sisters were also trapped and harmed by Fu Yao. The viciousness of some people is truly frightening.
Let’s talk about this drama. It was only thirty-three episodes, but it felt like it had more than three hundred episodes. The plot is compact and non-delayed, the background music is beautiful, the characters' narrations are atmospheric, the actors' acting skills are high, and the costumes are exquisite. And the most rare thing is that although this drama has a female lead, many supporting characters can shine in it. To show everyone a hundred flowers blooming, rather than a single show, which will make people tired in the end.
3. "The Legend of Zhen Huan"?
Douban score: 9.3
Reason for recommendation:
When it comes to palace dramas, why can't you say Let's take a look at "The Legend of Zhen Huan". This drama has been a hit over the years. Its plot is so compact and the plot is so rich that it can't even be regarded as a dinner drama, because if you look down, you will miss the details. From giving up Wen Shichu's love for her sister and resolutely entering the palace, to meeting Concubine Hua and starting to rise, to finally understanding that the biggest culprit behind the scenes is actually the queen, most of the plot is just the past.
Here, Zhen Huan originally had a choice, she could stay with Prince Guo, but due to some strange combination of circumstances, she thought the other person was being harmed and decided to return to the palace to survive the fight. My family and all my loved ones.
The whole "blackening" process is logical and soul-stirring. Zhen Huan's love to hatred for the emperor is also very convincing, blurring the sense of fiction, as if every character is really based on reality and has flesh and blood.
4. "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang"
Douban score: 8.3
Reason for recommendation:
The reason why "The Secret History of Xiaozhuang" is good-looking , because it cleverly integrates many "unsolved cases" in the history of the Qing Dynasty, including eye-catching stories such as "The Queen Mother Married" and "Shunzhi became a monk". The plot is vigorous and the pace is relaxed. This drama achieved excellent ratings at the time. Now, even though 20 years have almost passed, this drama is still a "dinner drama" for many people.
The quiet wild beauty portrayed Da Yu'er so deeply that no one who played Da Yu'er felt right afterwards. In the early stage, she was like an eagle on the grassland. She smiled when she was happy and turned away when she was unhappy. She was carefree and charming. No wonder Dorgon fell in love with her at first sight and landed on her horse from the sky.
5. "The Pleiades of the Sky"
Douban score: 8.8?
Reason for recommendation:
The drama takes place from the Sino-Japanese War of 1898 to 1898 The period of the coup serves as the background, and it depicts a portrait of the late Qing Dynasty, mainly Empress Dowager Cixi, Guangxu, Concubine Zhen, and reformist ministers. Chun'er, a poor boy who made a living by picking up frozen cow dung and horse dung on the street, met the astrologer Granny Bai. Granny Bai said that he was born from the Pleiades star in the sky. His fate was the same as that of Qianlong and Qin Shihuang, and he would be " Take all the treasures of China and put them into your pocket."
Her prophecy supported the miserable life of Chun'er. When his brother died of hunger, he castrated himself and entered the palace. After some struggle and hard work, he became a popular figure next to the Empress Dowager Cixi and succeeded her. Li Lianying's position, Granny Bai's words seemed to come true, but he was inadvertently involved in the political whirlpool.
Chun'er is a warm person, sincere in dealing with others, and diligent and motivated. Cixi in the play is also a courageous, knowledgeable and gentle person, and is also a big entrepreneur now. However, the Qing Dynasty was really rotten to the core and could not be revived.
The reason why these TV series are so good to watch is that whether they are fictional or fictitious, the fictitious and real palace battle strategies in them are very brain-burning, and each one has his or her own rich personality and characteristics. , it doesn’t look boring or uninteresting.
