Jiro Wang Meng Fei Comes Again

They're looking more than and more like an bodily couple...

Information technology was too bad that they were only sleeping together to end the rumours that His Majesty is impotent, merely it was likewise cute. The Emperor got close to her while sleeping and she tried to have his arm away numerous times, but gave up in the finish.

Ohh, and this 💕💕💕 So endearing!! And the Eunuchs trying to hide they were seeing everything 👀

I had so many laughs at this. The Emperor wanted to enter the prostitute house without knowing what information technology was, and they tried to warn him just he didn't get it. And he permits her to have her way with him 😂😂 I think Zhenshuang (is that his name? I don't recall exactly) didn't liked this 1 flake.

And she's wearing his clothes at present ❤️

each episode of mengfei comes across really be like 'we'll requite u guys 5 mins of screentime for the main couple' and so focus on female friendships, daily life of inner palaces, and side characters. Plus, a ton of one-act and satire.

Mengfei Comes Beyond (I dear and detest yous!)
Sometimes you lot come across a drama that you end up enjoying and then much yet get so frustrated and disappointed virtually because you know it could take been then much more. That's how I felt after watching the C-drama "Mengfei Comes Across" (as well known every bit "Oh My Cute Consort"). This premiered in 2018 and starred Jiro Wang as Emperor Wen Lou, and Jin Chen/Gina Jin as Lady Bu Meng, his consort.


I stumbled upon it while watching some clips on YouTube about something else and it was recommended to me. It looked very cute so I decided to watch the clip. I became curious considering the premise reminded me so much of a favorite anime called "Saiunkoku Monogatari" so I searched for the complete serial with English subs. Fortunately enough, they were readily available on YT.


The series revolves effectually Bu Meng, the daughter of the Purple Court Historian, who ends up condign 1 of the Emperor Wen Lou'due south consorts because of a slight that her male parent had done towards the Emperor. In return for the offense, His Majesty decides to pick on her, though harboring no personal interest in her at all. Meng doesn't desire the attention considering she's read in her books that regal consorts who gain the attention of the Emperor often become the target of intrigue and malice and can even lose their lives. Meng intends to alive a long, happy life so she strives to avert him at all costs.

Unfortunately for her, not only does she end up directly under his radar considering of her father, merely her personality and antics turn the Emperor's initial disinterest into curiosity.
She ends upwardly somehow getting involved with him in so many ways, despite herself, and he ends upward liking her more and more along the way. However, Meng'south want is to leave the palace and gain her freedom again, so when the Emperor becomes the target of mysterious assassins, Meng volunteers to help observe the culprits in exchange for her freedom. Together with Government minister Zhen Shishuang, an investigative prodigy who also happens to be her babyhood friend and start beloved, Meng succeeds in uncovering a serious plot against the Emperor, masterminded by his outset consort, Imperial Consort Ru, adopted daughter of the Prime Minister.


Just the Emperor is difficult-pressed to honor his word to let her go, especially when he learns that Minister Zhen and Meng were one time in love and almost married each other. Withal he decides to prepare her free, much to his mother, the Empress Dowager'due south disappointment and anger. Meng, on the other mitt, realizes that she tin can't leave him anymore because somewhere along the way, despite her reluctance, she had fallen in love with him.


That's basically the summary of the serial.


I'g really quite torn nigh this drama. On the 1 manus, I constitute myself liking it very much. The aesthetics were good: costumes were beautiful and the actors were just so pleasing to the eyes. The comedic timing of the main actors were on point, although the minor ones seemed merely a bit too overdone for my taste. And the chemistry of the leads was just lovely and they had this level of sexual tension between them that made me jump on their ship.


This is the first time I've watched Jin Chen/Gina Jin and Jiro Wang. I don't know them and I've never seen annihilation of theirs. Merely to me, they were perfect every bit Meng Fei and His Majesty. Every time I saw them on screen together, I felt warm and fuzzy and I smiled and so much. I simply wanted the scene to go on and on because they were simply cute and the sparks were at that place. Jiro Wang had this seemingly hooded gaze that smoldered every fourth dimension he looked at her. It's like a mix of deep affection and intense desire toward her. Gina Jin, on the other paw, had but enough level of denseness and equity towards him. And her face, peculiarly her optics, are only so expressive. She had this wonderful interplay of mischievousness and intelligence that oftentimes manifested through a bright smile which made her whole face up glow, making me empathize just why Jiro Wang'southward His Majesty is so taken with her.


Merely apart from that, the drama left me very frustrated considering the story and plot development left a lot to be desired, as far as I'm concerned. The serial was 36 episodes long (according to some early reports, it should have been 45) yet the main plot seemed to have exhausted itself by episode 21, which is when the Emperor and Meng Fei admitted their love for each other. Even in terms of story arcs, the meatier part of the drama was in the get-go one-half until this signal, what with the assassins and the intrigues from the consorts and the objections from the Empress Dowager all coming into play, together with the comedic antics of the characters. After that, it was more often than not stand up-alone arcs involving small-scale characters (although there was also a scattering of this in the first few episodes, which almost made me stop watching), with the Emperor and Meng merely becoming instruments to push the story along. In fact, they inappreciably had any substantial or meaningful screentime at all.


To my mind, it was too much fourth dimension wasted on arcs that never had any existent purpose in driving the principal story, which could have been devoted to expounding on more interesting sub-plots, such as the story of Lady Xiao, i of Meng'southward fellow consorts and closest friends. She's a one-time general who grew up with the Emperor and savage in love with her beau general, Shi Shang. This could have been very interesting and compelling because after they were separated when the war concluded, and after her male parent's decease, the Emperor made Lady Xiao enter the palace to give her sanctuary. She encounters Shi Shang afterwards inside the palace, as an assassin hired past a rival state to impale the Emperor. It turns out that he had been captured by them after the war and made to drink poison. In exchange for the antitoxin, he had to assassinate the Emperor. This could have tied beautifully with the get-go arc on the assassins that were sent by the Dongli State and led past Majestic Consort Ru, who turned out to exist their princess.

Some other interesting sub-plot that should accept been tackled and tied into the assassin story arc was the one of Chen Yuanxi, Meng'due south babyhood friend, who also became a soldier.  She and Meng's brother, Bu Yue, accept e'er been at odds since childhood, still in the terminate it turns out that they are in love with each other.  If it weren't for the fact that Yuanxi was thought to have been killed in battle and a corpse that was mistaken for her brought home for burial, much to Yue's grief, they would non have admitted to their feelings for each other.  Bu Yue, incidentally, is likewise a well-known and much-admired general.


The latter role was actually such a waste. I could merely imagine how much more interesting this would have been, especially if the friendship between the Emperor and Meng was immune to flourish some more earlier they decided to go lovers. Their scenes together before Meng realized she loved him were but wonderful. And those moments when he would hint at his deeper feelings for her and she gets flustered are just the stuff that wonderful, fluffy romances are fabricated of.


And how nice it would take been if Minister Zhen was tapped by the Emperor to caput the investigations on the assassination attempts and he became a trusted advisor. Just imagine the Emperor's ain dilemma, if they had get friends as well, even equally he is riled up with jealousy because Meng likes Zhen very much. 
And I really call up at that place should have been scenes of the Emperor and Lady Xiao talking intimately every bit friends, specially regarding his feelings for Meng. After all, they grew up together. I recall information technology's possible that her father may have trained him likewise. And I think it was too hinted at that they fought together before he became emperor? I'm not sure virtually this but information technology'due south not far-fetched.


If I were to rewrite this drama, I would make the development of the romance between the Emperor and Meng circumduct effectually the assassination plot and the political intrigue of the rival states. I would too make Minister Zhen'southward grapheme stay throughout the drama, not merely because he would have been very useful in attempting to uncover the plots against the Emperor, but his presence would have presented a nice tension betwixt the Emperor and Meng. Information technology would have made Meng'southward decision to stay as consort, despite her loss of freedom, more compelling. And I would give more meat to the story of Meng'southward three consort friends, Consort Xiao, Consort Yan and Concubine Qu. I'd take out all the other minor arcs, similar that of the imperial cook and imperial physician.


I would have made Meng stand business firm on her conclusion to leave the palace anyway to pursue her own dreams, despite the fact that she'southward slowly falling for the Emperor (simply to prove that she is truly independent and empowered) only would have made her return in the second half of the story at the request of the Empress Dowager (who didn't like her very much for her son). Perchance something serious would have happened to the Emperor every bit a issue of the attempts on his life, and Her Majesty would enquire Meng to come back and intendance for him. And there would take been a man-to-man talk between Minister Zhen and the Emperor about their love for Meng. And maybe Zhen would talk to Meng and help her come to terms with her own feelings for the Emperor.  I wouldn't have fabricated information technology then easy for her to just have that she had fallen for him and surrender on her ain dreams.  No thing how ditzy she may sometimes seem, Meng'southward graphic symbol is intelligent and independent.  It would have made for a more interesting romance, not to mention given the drama more time to give Meng and the Emperor - with Zhen thrown into the mix - more screentime cuteness together.


Oh well. I would have to content myself with re-watching this up until episode 21 and just imagine all the means this drama could accept been so much better than just a slapstick comedy.

I've been watching Mengfei Comes Across aka 萌妃驾到, which probably would accept not come across my radar if it wasn't for that weird censorship thing (for what, I have no idea. Information technology's hardly the most controversial drama out there.).

Two things: Gina Jin has amazing comedic timing (I'm and then used to seeing her in more serious roles). As well, I kinda like the fact that the evidence put equal focus on Meng Fei'due south friendship with other women in the inner palace equally her romance with Jiro Wang'due south character.

Likewise, favorite quote then far: "you should come across an imperial physician. You take health insurance in the inner palace."

ETA: I gauge they deleted 9 episodes? Which would explain the choppiness. I'm even so dislocated as to why, because once more, not exactly the virtually controversial drama out in that location.

The 16th episode of Mengfei Comes Across was so good! They're such a sweet and fun couple, I tin't wait for them to gather for real.

She put her life at risk for him and, desperate, he calls her 'Meng Meng.' I think that's the first time he chosen her that. Too beautiful.

Oh, and the following scene where he says he has to pluck the toxicant out of her! It was so funny! I don't think His Majesty was that happy that 18 Kills had some other mode lol

They're and then funny! LOL I started watching this drama after I got a fleck sad rewatching The King's Woman, so I wanted something historical nonetheless more than light-hearted. I'm so glad I found it!

There'due south something that I don't sympathise: how come no one has noticed Noble Espoused Ru's tattoo earlier? Because the apparel these women use are and so light, I call up information technology would be quite like shooting fish in a barrel to see through information technology. And she did a belly dance a couple of episodes ago.

{Accented Darling OST} Pretend We Never Loved Official MV- Jiro Wang ENG...

I've fallen into the rabbit hole and found myself in Jiro Wang country.

Information technology wasn't part of my plan.  I didn't even know Jiro Wang until around a few weeks ago, when I stumbled onto a clip of his 2018 one-act series "Mengfei Comes Beyond" with Jin Chen/Gina Jin on YouTube.

When I first watched it, I didn't fifty-fifty find him that appealing.  To me, he just looked like a typical Chinese man in historical garb.  Simply as I continued to watch the series, he only started to grow on me and suddenly, I just found myself proverbially hit between the optics with his appeal.

Jiro Wang'due south Emperor Wen Lou can be little and vain.  Yet he is likewise charismatic, kindhearted and loyal.  I liked how Jiro Wang managed to portray his graphic symbol onscreen and how he was able to convey the magnetic and strong personality of a human being who'due south always known that he's built-in to dominion, notwithstanding finding himself seemingly at the mercy of his feelings for his consort.

Nearly actors often have such a mod expression that it's hard to exist convinced of their portrayals of characters set in aboriginal history.  Yet Jiro Wang managed to look every inch the Chinese Emperor of times past.  I couldn't even imagine that he'south actually part of a thoroughly modern-looking Taiwanese male child band until I saw the videos for myself after I had completed the series.  He was just perfect for the role of the emperor.

I just wish the drama wasn't too slapstick in its comedy.  In those episodes that had a more serious tone, Jiro Wang managed to convey the gravitas of the Emperor.  I retrieve he would do very well in serious historical dramas that would have a like flavor to Jung Il Woo'due south contempo "Haechi".

Now, my biggest problem is how to discover my Jiro Wang fix.  It's so hard to search for his past dramas with English subs online.

Oh my god there is a 小戏骨 version of Meng Fei Jia Dao 萌妃驾到 ...

I'm on episode 27/36 of Mengfei. I'k kinda conflicted nearly them cutting out nine episodes. On one hand, I feel like the overall tone of this drama is like a sitcom in that it's actually well-nigh Mengfei'a hijinks and it nevertheless works. Merely otoh, I want more haha.

(Also, I feel like Jiro Wang is like William Chan in that neither of them look truly right in a catamenia drama bc they have such modern pop star faces. )

I'm kinda hoping that cdramas will get back to the under 40 eps trend. It feels similar everything is at least 45 episodes present and things tend to drag. Zhen Huan aside, I think of old favorites like BBJX and it was so concise and there wasn't a ton of wasted scenes.
