cdrama: how to depict that many years have passed and a character has aged a lot while spending as little money as possible? - just put a funny beard on the actor!
ah, i remember three kingdoms 2010…. chen jianbin giving the performance of a lifetime as cao cao, all full of charisma and humour and doomed longing for guan yu’s loyalty and love, and then opposite him was yu rongguang giving a deeply compelling performance as *checks notes* a block of wood
Omg! Miss Cao is using the gift given by Ren Jie to her.
Oh? I thought Ren Jie was Mr Heiyan, especially since they share some similarities. But that might not be the case? I love how every time he encounters difficulties and has trouble sleeping, he comes to listen to An's songs and falls asleep.
How come there is a storm every time something major happens?
How come Commissioner Liu still has the mood to listen to songs in that heavy storm? After the first case, I can't help but be suspicious of Deputy Secretary Hou. Are you serious? I thought Commissioner Liu was a good official. Turns out he is a coward.
Chief, what enmity do you have with Ren Jie? First his women is interested in you and now you are framing him for gold smuggling.
I knew it Hou Yu was suspicious.
Get you a man who follows you to the temple to pray even though he doesn't believe in Buddhism, climbs a cliff just to get you some cherries and plants a cherry sapling so that you can eat cherries whenever you wish.
When Cao Cao finally sets up the new Imperial Government in Luoyang, he and many of his closest friends and advisors take up office under the new regime, men who have been friends with him for years or days, all experts in the field and banded together like brothers awaiting a new tomorrow.
...
And Kong Rong.
You might think these guys look a bit too casual for an Imperial administrative body but I've seen worse governments...hell, I've lived under worse governments!
And this was from Google Translate so accuracy is always 50-50 but what Kong Rong's written there is meant to be the Mandarin translation for 'I'm Surrounded By Idiots'
