Performances:
Tavia: The thing I like about her character is she doesnt put herself lower because shes a woman or above because shes princess, she treats everyone equally. She always thinks before she does anything. She suffers quite a lot, being away from Ray and marrying someone else, then losing her husband. She understands everyone she meets. Really strong character. Character: 4.5/5
Her acting was very impressive; she was only one of the few who actually made me cry. Acting: 5/5
Li Quan: she annoyed me from the moment I saw her until the very last tape. She wasnt very annoying in the last tape. She finally matured down. She is the luckiest character, because she got to spend a lot of time with ray. I hate her for her constant accusing and her judgement, playing hard. Every since she fell in love with ray she became so distanced with Tavia, I find is shocking they grew up together, but all the sudden its like they never knew each other. I do like her for being there with ray. Shes pretty thoughtless, always accusing when she never hears their side of the story. Character: 2.5/5
She is horrible at some expressions, like pissed off and angry. She over did it with swinging her arms and dragging her words long. Her crying is very good, but she cried too much I dont even feel sorry for her. 7.5/10
Ron: He only acts well when hes with Raymond; he acts pretty horrible when hes not. The last tape he acted really well. Character 4/5 acting 3/5
Nancy: I love her character, shes adorable, always protecting Ron and not the saddy little girl who her lover doesnt love her. Acting 4/5 character: 4/5
Chai siew- I like his character towards the end, he matured down, not that little guy who gets upset because he doesnt have something he wants. He was selfish for marrying tavia when he knew she doesnt like him.
Ray - Tav
It was love at first sight, she left him a good impression from the moment he saw her up close. She saved him from the evil guy or else he wouldve been dead. That is how their relationship started to build up. I love the way he made the grass ring for her by hand, how he saved her when she fell down the mountain and hugged her until she woke up. The way he looked every time she left him. Too bad he didnt love her the most, but he does have feelings for her and he said shes important to him. At the end she said she could feel ray around her protecting her, perhaps he is?
Favourite Scenes:
-When tav fell off the cliff and screamed his name and he jumbed down the cliff to save her
-Ray hugged her while looking at the mountains until she woke up
-When he said he didnt want the path to end while holding her hand
-The part when he said hed win the city for her, I loved the way they looked at each other
-When ray finally knew that tav married chai seiw because she owed him so much and asked her if they could get back together
-When ray gave tavia a shoulder to cry on, he was hurt to see her cry
-When ray was like so pretty when he saw tavia, while his nose was bleeding
-When they were under that waterfall thingy
-When ray yelled at tavia accusing her for using everyone
*when tavia told ray to hate her if it makes him feel better
*when ray asked tavia if she believe that he can jump over the other side and she said yes! and he made it across
*when tavia used herself to let ray escaped
*when ray was telling her about li quan's marriage they just sat there looking at sunset
*when ray arrived to help tav and her bro, the first thing he asked was "where's tavia?"
*the way tav looked when they hugged under the firecracker scene
Ive always wondered why she didnt let him kiss her. they're so romantic together!
Waise Christine
-When Christine was fighting with that yellow fabric around her, so ladylike
-When they were trapped on the island
-When waise killed the emperor, very cool
-The last hug he gave her before he died
Without those two relationships, I wouldve given up on this series.
The ending wasnt that sad, I didnt cry. When Ron was with Leila telling her that hell never forget her was really sad, felt sorry for both of them, he told her not to tell Nancy because he didnt want her to get mad. At the end when he read the letter Nancy sent him, they filmed his eye. He does have feelings for Nancy, he thought of her before he died, but his feelings for her arent as strong as his feelings for Leila. They probably didnt get married because who would be at their wedding? I didnt really hate the concubine.
