I hope everyone is alive after my previous review. :) Wake up, sleepies, I need you alive and vigorous for Christmas.
I don't understand why the drama Queen Dugu has such a low rating. It should have a rating of at least 8.0. When I read the reviews of the drama on MyDramaList, I almost cried: there was no love between the main couple, there were too many episodes, it was boring to watch, etc. Really?! I didn't notice any of the above shortcomings while watching the show.
If there was no love between the main couple, then how to describe such their relationship in the drama: they respected, understood and cared for each other; they were loyal and supported each other; they felt each other's state when they were at a distance and understood each other without words. How can this be described but with the word “love”? Perhaps for those who write that there is no love between Dugu Jia Luo and Yang Jian, the real love is Xie Wei's abusive actions towards Jiang Xue Ning in Story of Kunning Palace. How depraved and perverted people have become. It's disgusting to read some of the reviews.
I will also argue that Queen Dugu has too many episodes. The first, original, version of the Chinese series The Empress of China contained ninety-six episodes. That's a really long drama. And Queen Dugu has only fifty episodes. For me, it's like a piece of cake. I didn't even notice when I watched it. I haven't liked the acting of some of the actors and some of the storylines in the series, but overall this drama deserves a high score.
Once again, I end the year with a drama starring Chen Xiao, but what can I do if he acts male characters that I like. In A Dream of Splendor, he performed a lion man, and in Queen Dugu, he performed a lion man too. Yes, Yang Jian is not very clever in the drama, but that doesn't make him any worse in my eyes. In their pairing, Dugu Jia Luo was the brains, and Yang Jian was the muscles, like an architect and a builder.
In my opinion, a man should not be required to be very smart, the main thing is that he should be a responsible man, a good husband and father, and listen to his wife's opinion, especially in matters in which he doesn't understand. And men who think they know everything and are smarter than all the others belong in a garbage dump. Wise people eventually realise that they know nothing. I came to such a conclusion about myself when God began to reveal the truth of things to me. Only self-confident idiots who don't know life think they are the smartest. Such self-confident idiots are Sun Jian, Dou Xiao and that scarecrow. Not having a hundredth of my knowledge and wisdom, they thought they were smarter than me. Hee-hee, ha-ha.
You know, I can immediately see which Chinese male actors read my reviews and listen to my opinion. Does Qu Gao Wei in the image of Ye Mu Jing in The Legend of Zhuo Hua remind you of anyone? He reminds me of Yi Bang Won from My Country: The New Age. And in Romance on the Farm, he generally performed that scarecrow, and his character there ended up very badly (that scarecrow should be grateful that such a handsome man as Qu Gao Wei has acted him, because we all know how ugly that scarecrow is :):):).
Similarly, Zhou Yi Wei read my comments about Mei Chang Su and starred with the flute in The Legend of Heroes. :) I am pleased that at least someone listens to me. No wonder Qu Gao Wei and Zhou Yi Wei are my favourite Chinese male actors (they even have similar names). Jin Han comes next, and I have pushed Hu Ge to the “last desk”. If he won't contribute to the addition of English subtitles to the drama Blossoms Shanghai, I'll generally drop him from the list. How much longer do I have to wait?! :)
Although Yang Jian was not as clever as Dugu Jia Luo, I heard from him most of the Christian phrases that were in the drama. This proves once again that the more simple, sincere, and open a person is, the closer he or she is to God. God's wisdom was revealed mainly to ordinary people, not to the so-called wise ones who considered themselves omniscient. That is why I don't accept Confucius. The simple fishermen who have become apostles, Peter, James and John, are a hundred times wiser than him.
Regarding what happened at the end of Queen Dugu between Yang Jian and Yuchi Wen Ji, I came to the conclusion that there was no sexual relationship between them. Yuchi Rong and Wen Ji had arranged everything in such a way that everyone, including Yang Jian himself, believed that he had betrayed Jia Luo. Even under the influence of dope, he couldn't sleep with Wen Ji, because when he was in a normal state, he didn't even pay attention to her, i.e. he wasn't interested in her as a woman. There has always been only one woman in Yang Jian's mind and heart — Dugu Jia Luo. The biggest mistake he made in that situation was that he started to justify himself and put the blame on Jia Luo, not realising that in fact there was nothing between him and Wen Ji. However, this mistake shows that he is a living human being, because before that he has been perfect, but there are no perfect people.
Jia Luo was also wrong in many cases. For example, in the last episode, she tells her younger son that not everything in the world should be judged as right or wrong, which I don't think is true. I heard the same lie in Story of Kunning Palace. She was also wrong about her eldest son, Yang Yong. I would not hide the fact that according to the history, in real life, Yang Jian really betrayed Jia Luo. But I'm ready to argue and prove my opinion about what has happened in the series. It's a pity that his mistake spoiled the relationship between him and Jia Luo, because they really loved each other all their lives in the drama.
However, I understand Jia Luo very well. She and I are very similar. Like her, I will not share my husband with other women. Either he will be only with me, or he should stay away from me. And if I were in her shoes, I would order the execution of Yuchi Wen Ji, which was what the Queen Dugu did in real life. Do you know which characters from the Chronicles of Narnia I am? Jill Pole and Lucy Pevensie in one person. Jill Pole in that book is compared to a tigress, and Lucy Pevensie to a lioness. So I am a tigress and a lioness at the same time, just like Dugu Jia Luo in the drama. We are two tigress-lioness women. :) The song Fuego by Eleni Foureira suits us both.
Despite the mistake that Yang Jian made in the series, I really liked him because, as I said, he was a lion man, and that said it all. Look at the kings and queens I found on YouTube while watching the drama: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/otXN64ORzN4. I liked the Queen of January and the King of August the most. They are like the Queen Dugu Jia Luo and the King Yang Jian. I dedicate the following songs to the main couple of the series: 1. Rick Astley — Together Forever. 2. Marc Anthony — I Need You. 3. Aysel & Arash — Always.
And to the bastard Yuwen Yong, I dedicate Gloria Gaynor's song I Will Survive. He's the same hopeless schmuck as that scarecrow (though his son is even more similar to that scarecrow, just like Yuchi Kuan, Yang Yong and Chen Shubao). Probably every woman has to meet a bad man before she meets a good one. I've already had a bad man in my life. Now I am looking forward to a good one.
In addition to the main hero Yang Jian, I also liked Gao Jiong among the male characters. He's also a lion man, and with a great sense of humour. At some moments, I wanted to go up and hug him. :) In the twentieth episode, Yang Jian reminded Gao Jiong of the story of how Liu Bei went to Zhuge Liang three times until he convinced him to cooperate with him. It's not the first time I've heard this story in a Chinese drama. The Chinese love to tell it. I like this story too. Zhuge Liang was worth visiting him even ten times. But this is not the case with Yang Su. The last one was not worth waiting for even one hour. Gao Jiong was right about Yang Su.
When I first saw Yuwen Hu in the drama, I thought: “What is this Pokémon?” :):):) He also stole a parrot from Ava Max. :) In the series, Yuwen Hu doesn't tolerate any criticism of himself and destroys everyone who opposes him, just like Xi Jinping does in real life. If you put them both on the scales, they would not outweigh each other. The one is a dragon, and the other is a dragon.
In the eleventh episode, Yuwen Hu tells his niece that filial reverence comes first among all virtues. Once again, the Chinese have everything inside out. The first and the greatest commandment of God is to love your Lord God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. Moses wrote about that and Christ spoke about that. It is also the greatest human virtue. And the commandment to honour your father and mother is only the fifth in the list of God's commandments. So Yuwen Hu is a liar (who would have doubted it).
In the twenty-seventh episode, Yuwen Hu contradicts himself, saying that being filial to your father is a minor filial piety, but being loyal to the state is a great one. It seems that he is confused in his own thoughts. I wish Xi Jinping to have the same ending as Yuwen Hu in the drama, and that he will forever go down in Chinese history as a traitor of his country and a usurper of power. I, in turn, will marry a man who can avenge for me, such as Yang Jian. But I see that so far only the Lord God is avenging my enemies for me.
I saw a lot of familiar actors and actresses in the drama, and I also recognised “Suqin Zi Yan” Gao Ye. It's impossible not to recognise the timbre of her voice. :) Chen Xiao looks much better paired with Joe Chen than he does with Liu Yi Fei, because Joe Chen performs much better and is much prettier than she is. Liu Yi Fei has teeth like a horse. No wonder that Song Seung Heon broke up with her. She's ugly, and he's such a handsome man. I liked him in The Great Show.
Song Seung Heon also looks much younger than his age, just like me and Qu Gao Wei. You know, there are not only physical and moral reasons for looking much younger than your age, but also spiritual reasons. Read on the Internet what this means. Unfortunately, Chinese netizens put all the blame for the breakup of the Song Seung Heon and Liu Yi Fei couple on Song Seung Heon, without knowing the real reasons for their breakup. This is called unhealthy patriotism — supporting everything Chinese, regardless of what it really is. Don't you have any normal actresses, Chinese, that you are defending a scolopendra who can't even act properly? I can name many Chinese actresses who deserve to be defended and supported. Liu Yi Fei is not one of them.
At the end of 2022, when in the comments on the page of the drama Minning Town on MyDramaList, under my old nickname, the account to which I have long since deleted, I have been criticising a Chinese actor, whose name I am not mentioning on principle, but calling him “that scarecrow”, one user of the site under the nickname “Silvana leno” has written on my post a comment full of all sorts of nasty things that I don't want to comment on, in which she, in particular, figuratively speaking, has poked my nose at Zelenskyy (you can go to the page of Minning Town, her comment is still there).
But what relation do I have to Zelenskyy? He is not my relative, I haven't voted for him in the presidential election and would never vote for him. Moreover, I have a bad opinion of him and don't perceive him as the president of my country (the place of a clown is in the circus, not in the presidential chair). So why should I be responsible for him and his actions? I don't support everything Ukrainian, but only good Ukrainian things, because I am a representative of healthy patriotism. So it's not for such as Silvana leno to teach me how to live.
For some reason, that scarecrow didn't hide that comment by Silvana leno under the “Spoiler” tab, but he did hide my comments with constructive criticism of him. He probably thinks that I am his biggest enemy, but in fact he is his own worst enemy. And he will destroy himself. By the way, that scarecrow is very similar to Zelenskyy: they both are short whiners and mama's boys with a Napoleon complex.
Queen Dugu is a good drama. It shows a true love of a man for a woman, namely, the love of Yang Jian for Dugu Jia Luo. In real life, you don't see such love of a man for a woman. Men don't know how to love. All their love is in their pants. However, there is the love of God for a person. That is the greatest love that exists in the world. God will never let you down and never betray you. The only real man in my life is the Lord Jesus Christ. He is my hope, my salvation and the fulfillment of all my desires.
I'm probably praising this drama too much. I'm afraid that it will also suffer from my enemies. Let me explain what I mean. Every time I praise a drama on this site in my review, disgusting posts appear in the comments to that drama, and vice versa, when I criticize some drama, the comments to that drama start praising it. The minions of that scarecrow are not sleeping. :):):)
But I don't understand what he is trying to achieve. To hurt me? That's ridiculous. I don't give a damn about him anymore. I don't want to see him, don't want to hear or know anything about him. I just write what God tells me to write and express my opinion. What that scarecrow is doing is, sorry God, some kind of kindergarten. But this is what he is and he will never change. In fact, I realized relatively quickly what that scarecrow was like. My main mistake was that I tried to re-educate him. Even God cannot re-educate an adult man if he doesn't want to. Although what kind of a adult man is he? A big child, that's what he is. All the money he earned on me would go to his funeral.
And now I want to focus your attention on the interesting things and signs from God that I have seen in the series Queen Dugu. Firstly, this drama also contains a lot of Christian wisdom. I'm not even going to comment on the Christian phrases that are here, because there are so many of them. Every good Chinese drama I have watched has Christian wisdom in it, so I will continue to watch them. However, no drama or film in which that scarecrow acts is good. They all belong in the trash.
In the thirty-ninth episode, at 18:51 (in the episode from MZTV), the name of Jesus Christ appears in the English subtitles. On some stone pillars in the drama, I saw three fours. If you put them together, you get the number “12”. The numbers “3”, “4” and “30” are also frequently mentioned in the series. I have written about what this means in my previous reviews. Just as Judas sold Christ for thirty pieces of silver, so that scarecrow sold me. Now all he has to do is hang himself, just as Judas has done.
The mansion of Yuwen Hu has four statues of tigresses. In the thirtieth episode, Yuwen Zhu compared Dugu Jia Luo to a tigress. In the twenty-first episode, the army seal is shaped like a lioness. And I've seen the army seal in the shape of a lion in many Chinese historical dramas, including The Legend of Hao Lan. In Queen Dugu, I saw the image of a lion everywhere.
There are two very interesting and very symbolic scenes in the twenty-ninth episode. First, there is a scene in which a very beautiful and dangerous tigress comes up to Yang Jian, and does not attack him, but growls something to him, and then turns around and walks away. Immediately after this scene, there is another scene in which Dugu Jia Luo dreams that she is falling from the sky, but is caught by Yang Jian, and they stand together on the clouds among the yellow light.
I saw a lot of blue and yellow clothes in the drama, just like in The Princess Wei Young. In the tenth episode, I even saw a blue and yellow dress that was very similar to the one worn by Li Chang Ru in The Princess Wei Young. And Yuwen Yong in the series wore the same yellow and blue mantle that Tuo Ba Jun wore in The Princess Wei Young. The Chinese are right to love the colours of the Ukrainian flag, because our world is not pink, or blue and pink, but yellow and blue. The sun and the water are the basis of all life on our planet.
It was interesting that the Sui Dynasty replaced the rotten and ruined Zhou Dynasty on 3 March 581 AD according to the lunar calendar, as on that day Yang Jian officially ascended to the throne and Dugu Jia Luo became his phoenix queen. It's funny, isn't it? And it's not an event invented in the drama, but a historical fact. Even more interesting is that in the first episode, Yang Jian and Jia Luo wear masks similar to the one worn by Man Er in the opening credits of Romance on the Farm.
In the drama, there is a male character the General Ningyuan, and in Romance on the Farm, there is the Marquis Ningyuan. Also in Queen Dugu, I heard the name “Ruyi” again. Thanks to this drama, I have finally found out the meaning of this word. In the final credits of the series and in the series itself, I saw butterflies again. In the drama, Jia Luo sometimes wore butterfly earrings, as did Jiang Xue Ning in Story of Kunning Palace and Lin Shao Chun in Song of Youth. I also have butterfly earrings.
In the ninth episode, Yuwen Zhu has a wedding fan with three buttercups and two butterflies on it. I also have an embroidered fan with two buttercups and two butterflies. Yuwen Zhu's fan has two red buttercups and one pink buttercup on it, and I have two red buttercups embroidered on my fan. The pink buttercup on the Yuwen Zhu's fan is obviously superfluous. :)
There is a scene in the drama in which Jia Luo gives birth and Yang Jian tries to enter her room to be with her, but his sisters-in-law-stupid hens stop him, saying that a man should not see a birth and that it is bad luck. I've heard this in other Chinese historical series as well. What kind of stupid superstition is this? On the contrary, a man should be with his wife at this difficult moment for her to see how a new life is born and what it costs a woman. I wonder if Chinese men knew in that time that women menstruated once a month? But what am I asking? Even today, for some men, regardless of race, nationality or country of residence, it is a real revelation when they find out that women have menstruation. :):):)
Finally, I want to draw your attention to the most interesting thing. Take a look at the main poster of the drama Queen Dugu on MyDramaList. Do the two people depicted on it remind you of anyone? Look especially closely at the dude with the moustache. :):):) I also give you a link to a video with the OST of this drama: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ReKPFhX0zjk. Pay attention to the video's screensaver.
While watching the drama, I watched a video by a Ukrainian YouTube blogger in which she talked about serious things. At the end of the video, her cat came up to her and she began to feed it. Guess what the cat's nickname is. Simba. When I heard its nickname, I burst out laughing. :):):) In this drama, some characters also have the surname “Gao”. Despite the fact that Gao Jiong's name in the series is “Jiong”, all the people close to him called him “brother Gao”. I didn't show off either and just called him Gao. :)
And the funniest part. In the twenty-fifth, twenty-sixth and thirty-fifth episodes of this series, the King of the Qi State, Gao Wei, is mentioned. At last, he was called outright, because they kept hinting and hinting… :):):) Do you remember the stills from the drama with Qu Gao Wei that I have posted in my review of Romance on the Farm? That drama is called Undercover, which consists of two seasons, each with twelve episodes. Zhang Lu, who performed Gao Jiong in Queen Dugu, acted alongside Qu Gao Wei in that drama.
This is what the character of Qu Gao Wei in that series really is: https://image.bz1111.com/201711/04/11-32-09-64-10.jpg, https://image.bz1111.com/201711/04/11-31-58-77-10.jpg (I just want to jump on this man, although I like him more only in the underpants :):):).Yes, his hero there is an undercover policeman. That scarecrow has a VERY similar movie. Qu Gao Wei also starred in a drama about three retired old farts called Golden Trio. That scarecrow starred in a similar movie. Qu Gao Wei has a drama called Hunter, and that scarecrow also has a drama with the same title. That scarecrow even has attributed to himself the height of 180 cm, like that of Qu Gao Wei, when in fact he is no more than 150 cm (that scarecrow can be 180 cm tall only when he stands on the stones he stands on when he is shooting in dramas :):):). Now do you understand why God has called that scarecrow a fake, and who he has been pretending to be all along?
I'll tell you an interesting story. When in 2021 I once again rewatched Tribes and Empires: Storm of Prophecy, realising that there would be no second season of that drama, I fantasised it myself. I invented a female character who looked like the real Su Yu Ning, because I didn't like the on-screen one at all. Guess who, according to my imaginary plot, has fallen in love with her, and who she has fallen in love with. Two men fell in love with her: Muru Han Shan and Muyun Sheng. But she fell in love with Muru Han Shan. And Muyun Sheng can go in the direction of the russian warship, both in the drama and in real life, as he loves everything russian so much. :):):)
I hope that now you understand better what kind of test I have gone through and how God has helped me to pass it. And now, “bunnies”, take paper and pens and write down all the advice I have given you from my first review on this site to the last. And don't whinge that my reviews are too long. Thirteen in Romance on the Farm wrote reports longer than my reviews. :):):) Also, remember one thing: thoughts do materialise, so be mindful of what you think, say and do.
In one of my reviews, I had the indiscretion to call Qu Gao Wei a deer. After that, I see deer everywhere. I even have four Christmas decorations in the shape of a white deer. Who pulled my tongue to call him that? :):):) Qu Gao Wei is probably the same white deer, i.e. bai lu. Yes, for me, Qu Gao Wei is the same key character as Shen Nuo for Man Er, to what God keeps pointing out to me. Despite trying to avoid Qu Gao Wei and his dramas, I failed. I don't see any sense in running away from him anymore, because I realise I'm running in circles. :):):)
No matter how you relate to Qu Gao Wei, you must admit that he is a purely visual pleasure to look at: tall, handsome, slim, pumped up. You look at him, and in your head constantly shoots the thought “a real man... a real man... a real man...” :) You can see that he looks like a man, not a shrimp. So, do you understand the difference between an original and a fake now? To be completely honest, Qu Gao Wei is more suited to the role of Yang Jian, and he would have done a better job with it. Chen Xiao banally didn't have enough biceps. :)
And do you want to know my ending of Tribes and Empires? The female character I invented, i.e. me, turned against Muyun Sheng everyone: the heads of all the other races, the leader of all the tribes Shuo Feng He Ye, and even his friend Muru Han Jiang, and we together eliminated him with that witch Pan Xi, who never existed and whom he invented for himself. And then I became the Empress... The end. :):):) Don't you think this story of mine is coming true in real life? I told you that the second season of Tribes and Empires would be written by life itself.
That scarecrow is just a stupid fool. God deliberately made me perform the role of Pan Xi for him to show everyone his true nature of a demon. Remember, in the drama, the demon inside Muyun Sheng manifests itself again when Pan Xi appears and helps him heal his father. Well, and to make you completely frightened, I would say that in the moments when I was feeling very bad, the Lord always addressed me in the tone and words that Muru Han Shan used in the drama to address the Princess Yan Shuang. Because the Lord Jesus Christ is not some selfish, complex boy, but the Real Man and the Master of the world... the Lion King.
I won't reveal a secret if I tell you that 2024 has been the year of the Lion, not the dragon, at least for me. :) And the next year of the Snake will be my year, because I am also Snake according to the Chinese horoscope. Next year will be the most interesting, because I have almost reached the top of the tall, round tower. There are the lions waiting for me, and for the dragon is waiting a complete... well, you have understood. :):):)
I advise you to watch the two official videos for Anastacia's song One Day In Your Life, the original and international versions. Those two videos are almost identical, but there's one big difference between them that I hope you'll notice (hint: the tower). In my review of Her World, I wrote that Li Ying Nan worked in a building called TOWER C. The name of this tower stands for the Tower of Christ.
To the pagan Sun Jian, I remind him that at the end of December Christmas is celebrated, not the winter solstice. Let him write this on his forehead so that he does not forget. I wish him on the winter holidays to learn to see wider, because so far he cannot see further than his nose. Sun Jian is also a fake. God forbid to be with such a cold and callous man like him, and who tried to use me in the most difficult period of my life. It didn't work out. Do you want to laugh? That scarecrow was born on 03/03, Sun Jian was born on 23/05, and Qu Gao Wei was born on 03/05. What a great game of numbers! :):):)
I have no particular complaints about Qu Gao Wei. Next year I want to see him in the role of an emperor; not the kind of emperor who just wipes his pants on the throne and gives orders, but the kind who leads his army to war. For Christmas and New Year, I wish him to stop acting characters who think it's better to be alone (how sad, I want to cry :):):), to become more confident in himself and perform such a lion king as Yang Jian, because that's his role.
Well, and for that scarecrow I have only one wish, and for all holidays of the year, both Ukrainian and Chinese: to burn in hell forever. You know, the more I look at such assholes as Sun Jian and that scarecrow, the more I like such men as Muru Han Shan, Yang Jian and Gao Jiong.
To myself, I dedicate two songs for the Christmas and New Year holidays: Tom Jones — She's A Lady; Tom Jones & Mousse T — Sexbomb. These two songs will say everything about me. :) Also for the holidays I would like to recommend you to listen to one more song: S Club — Don't Stop Movin'. This song is as cheerful and joyful as the holiday of Christ's birth. So don't hold back, rejoice and dance, and don't stop moving. :) Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you, jerks! :):):)
P.S. Still, this year has been fun. I'm going to get drunk from happiness, but not with alcohol, because I'm faithful to my principles, but I'm going to get drunk anyway... with Coca-Cola. :):):)
