Pearl Cinema Review - Nirvana Royal

https://drive.google.com/uc?export=view&id=1_eiFn5GqHVUz91b8NcX9sAyEKARl-wWF This was an excellently filmed drama on Amazon Prime.   From (wikipedia) this drama was based on a novel by Xue Man Liang Yuan, filmed in Xiangshan Film and Television town in Zhejiang, China.  You will notice as you watch Chinese dramas, that they use similar sets.  It's like the old days of filming during the 1930's when you saw the same western town in several different movies.  Also you saw the same actors and actresses in other dramas. Rrminds me of the Hollywood studio system in the 1930’s when contracted actors would be seen in many of the movies in various parts as characters.
The two main stars were outstanding playing exceedingly demanding emotional roles Lou Jin as Xiaowei Dingquan the misunderstood Crown Prince and Li Yitong as Lu Wenliang his first and only love whose family is slaughter by order of the Crown Prince’s father.
It is the story of a young crown prince that goes through increasingly unfair betrayals, deceptions, misunderstandings by most everyone except his mentor and teacher.  His father, the emperor, has this strange way of preparing his son as his successor. 

 There are always so many twists and turns in Chinese dramas it keeps you glued to the computer/TV so that you want to know what happens next.  This is certainly one of them.

 It is a battle against good and evil, right and wrong.  And how important it is to communicate.  Lack of communication breeds distrust and misunderstanding.

 Don't want to give away the plot but the actor who plays the young prince, Xiao Dingquan is excellent.  His name is Luo Jin.  He also played in Mu Guiling Takes Command as a secondary character that you notice throughout the movie.   The actress who played the young woman who has revenge on her mind against him is Li Yitong, who has also starred is several Chinese productions. Both were nominated as Best Actors.  When you watch this drama you will understand why.

THIS DRAMA SERIES, STAND BY ME WAS AIRED ON "VIKI" 2021. You can download the VIKI app on ROKU or your cell phone and for only $4.99 a month you can watch hundreds of great dramas, movies without commercials. STAND BY ME IS ONE OF THE GREAT ONES. 49 CHAPTERS, WORTH EVERY MINUTE OF IT. The telling and interweaving of Chess in this story line is really excellent. Perhaps it seems a little slow, but if you watched any chess game you know how much the thought process is involved. The acting was excellent --- China knows how to produce a quality movie with beautiful scenes and sets. Cheng Yi and Zhang Yu Xi have very believable chemistry. He Sheng Ming so believably cruel and Lulu Xuan so believably beautiful. And of course Han Dong is a great actor in anything he does. One thing you see in many of these movies filmed in China is a struggle between good and evil. Those in leadership who are good have to always surmount unbelievable odds. Sometimes you have to watch a movi

WEAVING A TALE OF LOVE ON VIKI

I am recommending this Chinese Drama because of the story line. The two main characters played by Gulnezer Bextiyar (Kudi LiuLi/ Xian Dou Zi) and Timmy Xu (Pei Xing Jian) catches your interest right away. Although sometimes the character Kudi Liuli is unbelievable as a girl posting as a boy because she is too pretty, it all plays well into the storyline of that era when dress as a boy you were a boy. Timmy Xu please Pei Xing Jian excellently as did the actors who played the parts of the Eunuch Sun De Cheng and Crown Prince Li Zhi. It is 40 episodes and you can't stop watching. The ending is very beautiful for once. There are quite a bit of nailbiting tense scenes but truth prevails. Get out the popcorn and kleenex and enjoy this drama!

VINCENZO STARRING Song Joong-Ki. I decided to watch this because of Song Joong-Ki. And, I wasn't disappointed. The character Vincenzo is suave, handsome, smart and daring. It reminds me of 007 and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. It is the best role since Descendants of the Sun because it showcases his talents but also his looks. The cast of characters are interesting and maybe a little predictable but the main star is Song Joong-Ki. He really pulls it off. I think you will enjoy watching this new TV series. I have only seen the first 4 episodes but I like what I am seeing and hopefully the fans of Joong-Ki will like it as well. So pop come homemade popcorn and enjoy this latest TV drama on Netflix.
