    Same here! From the sounds of it, I'm guessing it'll be more of a dialogue series with plots on palace politics and power struggles between the princes, I hope the plot(s) is/are good and intriguing! I know Yang Mi filmed this series a few years ago but there wasn't much news on it and i didn't know Yuan Hong was the lead actor and paired up with her as well!

    I found Kou Zhenhai really familiar and for a moment couldnt recall where i had seen him before. But after awhile, I realised he played Pan Renmei (father of Chae Rim's character) in "Yang Meng Hu Jiang".

    OMG! I love Yuan Hong and Yang Mi!

    Looked up some more info on Lady Fuca: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xiao_Xian_Chun

    Looks like YM plays a good character here which is a relief.

    This series already came out? I am pretty intrigued since it has Yuan Hong

    ^ Agreed! Yang Mi looks very sweet and intelligent. I think I'm prejudiced against Qianlong's empress ever since watching Princess Returning Pearl but of course that's just fiction. I just worry that empress roles are typecasted as evil....

    The "evil" empress in HZGG was Qianlong's second empress, after the death of his first one, Empress Xiao Xian (Yang Mi's character). It is believed that Qianlong loved his first empress dearly and was deeply saddened when she passed away young. I think Empress Xiao Xian was the character Charmaine Sheh played in the beginning of "Emperor Qianlong's voyage to Jiangnan". Benny Chan played Qianlong in that series and fell in love with an assassin who resembled his late empress.

    Anyhow, I dont think we'll get to see Yang Mi as the empress in here since the series concentrates mainly on Hongli's youth, before he became Emperor Qianlong.

    this serie from reading the sypnosis or whatever is ver much like TVB War & Remembrance w/ Louis Koo which is my favorite Hong Li/Qian Long story. im looking forward to this series.

    after watching Young Yang Warriors, im a big fan of yuan hong now. i think this guy got great acting potential and he looks a lot like Julian Cheung.

    This series was produced in 2005, but DramaWiki lists series based on broadcast year.

    Watched the first 2 episodes and i like the series. Its the usual rivalry between brothers for the crown plot but with a sort of HZGG air. The beginning is especially funny for the eunuchs and servants provide some nice comic relief.


    click to show/hide spoilers
    Yuan Hong is kind and intelligent as the 4th prince though complacent for he is well-known to be Yongzheng's favourite and the prince most likely to succeed the emperor. The 3rd prince is the loud, arrogant and brainless one and mostly listens to the sly and manipulative 5th prince.

    I like the portrayal of the emperor in this series. Kou Zhen Hai's Yongzheng is smart, perceptive and sharp..too much for his own good as well since he tends to read too much into things and coupled with a high level of sensitiveness (and probably suspicion as well due to his past experiences when he was a prince), tends to apply clouded judgment to things. For now, he starts to distrust the 4th prince and buy into the 3rd prince's nauseating filial son act. At the end of the second episode, a girl who tries to assassinate Yongzheng, is captured and from the shorts for episode 3, it seems that she will lie that she was sent by the 4th prince which causes the latter to probably be expelled from the prince's study. BTW, Chen Baoguo plays a rebel out to get Yongzheng's life.

    Yang Mi appears a little in episode 2 and looks dainty as the daughter of an influential household but judging from the credits, ending theme video and screen time, she doesnt seem to be the female lead or Hongli's (4th Prince) actual love interest.

    Instead, the female lead is likely to be He Miao, who acts as Zhu Hui Ru, the daughter of Hongli's teacher. Hongli is clearly attracted to her and the ending video shows likewise. Yang Mi's character seems to like Hongli but is keeping her feelings hidden for she knows her good friend (Hui Ru) is in love with Hongli and vice versa.

    Sigh, the news articles and Sina site misled me into thinking that the main couple was Yang Mi and Yuan Hong

    No kidding..YM is relegated to a mere supporting role in here

    The story is getting rather stale and boring towards the middle.

    click to show/hide spoilers
    It reminds me alot of "Shao Nian Kang Xi" or "Shao Nian Tian Zi". Same era and similar love-triangle plot where the prince/emperor cannot get to be with his lover and a whole lot of drama with the girl getting forced to marry someone else instead and ending up with a tragic fate etc. The only difference is probably this series is most idolish and HZGG-style like. And those hoping to see Yuan Hong and Yang Mi pair up will be most disappointed for he only accepts her and gets to be together with her at the end of the last episode.
