The Legend of Hao Lan has a whole “carload” of familiar actors and actresses, including half of the cast of Story of Yanxi Palace. :) The drama The Legend of Hao Lan is not worse than Story of Yanxi Palace, it's even better, but it has a lower rating than Story of Yanxi Palace. I think this is because the cast of the drama doesn't include Xu Kai, whose sweet face is the reason why many young girls fall for him, believe everything he says and become fans of him like stupid fools. All girls should be taught from an early age that a man speaks not in words but in deeds. Then they will learn to understand men.

Personally, I'm glad that The Legend of Hao Lan doesn't have that talentless Xu Kai, who doesn't mind acting in such cheap films as 1921 to lick the Chinese Communist Party's ass. He was also superfluous in Story of Yanxi Palace. It would have been better if Mao Zi Jun performed the role of Fuca Fuheng. He would have done a much better job with that role. Mao Zi Jun and Wu Jin Yan made a beautiful on-screen couple in The Legend of Hao Lan.

I also liked very much Hai Ling's acting in the drama. No wonder I consider her an actress worthy of leading roles. She is good in any role: as the brave and warlike Hu Yao, the calm and moderate Chu Jiu Li, the desperately in love Li Yu Rou, and the bitchy Princess Ya. I didn't like Nie Yuan in Story of Yanxi Palace in appearance with his shaved head and that stupid pigtail. But here he looks much more handsome with a normal hairstyle. This is what hairstyle means for a man. Liu En Shang's characters in dramas always get their butts kicked. :) In Story of Yanxi Palace, he was beaten by the Emperor, and in this drama - by the King of Zhao.

Tong Meng Shi is so handsome in these ancient Chinese clothes that he is unrecognisable. Not to mention his performance. Rong Jing in Bright as the Moon and Ying Zheng in The Legend of Hao Lan are two completely different persons. Ying Zheng in the drama was accused of not being Ying Yi Ren's son, but Ying Zheng grew up to be a copy of his father in appearance. They even have similar voices. I didn't realise how much Tong Meng Shi was similar to Mao Zi Jun from the outside until I saw them in the same drama. The casting of the actors in the drama is gorgeous. And once again I heard Lu Hu's voice in the drama. It's nice to listen to him because he has a beautiful voice and his songs are good.

In The Legend of Hao Lan, the female characters have very beautiful dresses. You know, of all the traditional Asian women's dresses, I like the Chinese hanfu dress the most, especially the Tang Dynasty hanfu. I would look very beautiful with my big bust in that dress with a plunging neckline. :) Yes, I'm not thin like a model, but I'm not fat either. I'm a doughnut of not much height with a purely Ukrainian appearance: big breasts, a big bum, broad shoulders and wide hips, which makes me even more beautiful and appetising. I am such a doughnut as Yang Guifei. If you like teenage women's figures, I'm not for you. I have the figure of a formed woman.

What can I say about the plot of the drama. Hao Lan's fate is hard. Her mother was turned from a legitimate wife into a concubine, and Hao Lan herself was turned from a legitimate daughter into an illegitimate one. How could such a thing have been done? It's horrifying! I'm not talking about everything else that Hao Lan went through in the series. But she overcame everything and learnt to love herself.

Hao Lan's personal life is similar to that of Wu Mei Niang in The Empress of China. Like in Mei Niang's life, there were two men in Hao Lan's life whom she loved, the first of whom was bad and the second was good. Lu Bu Wei thought he was Elon Musk. Well, he was right about that: he was just as much of a jerk as Elon Musk. :):):) Hao Lan was from an aristocratic family, with a great upbringing and a good education, and Lu Bu Wei was from the lower class, a disgusting huckster who wanted to become the ruler of the world. And how he mocked Hao Lan! Doesn't it remind you of anyone? No one in the drama wanted Lu Bu Wei to die as much as I did. And his death exceeded all my expectations. Pay attention to who Lu Bu Wei has become at the end of his life and how he has died. You will be surprised. No wonder, considering who his prototype is in real life.

Hao Lan's relationship with Lu Bu Wei can be described by the words of the songs Strong Enough by Cher and Stronger by Britney Spears, as well as the words of such Kelly Clarkson's songs as Mr. Know It All and Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You). And Hao Lan's relationship with Ying Yi Ren can be described in the words of Kelly Clarkson's song A Moment Like This. What great songs Kelly still has. She has songs for all occasions of life.

Yi Ren reminded me of Obi-Wan Kenobi from Star Wars. Obi-Wan has always been my favourite Star Wars character. I have a hand torch that says “OBI” on it. I didn't specifically buy that flashlight because of that inscription. It was given to me by my mum, who had no idea what that inscription meant. I liked the fact that Yi Ren could do everything with his own hands. Jesus Christ is like that, too. Jesus was a carpenter when He was on earth. I like men whose hands grow out of the right place, not out of the ass.

Yi Ren is similar to Jesus Christ. There are crosses on the front door of his bedroom in the Zhao State. The scene in the thirtieth episode of the drama, in which Yi Ren was almost executed, reminded me of the trial and crucifixion of Christ. The suffering that Jesus went through then was best shown in Mel Gibson's 2004 film The Passion of the Christ. But I warn you that this film shows the suffering of Christ, His crucifixion and resurrection in a very realistic way, so it is better not to watch it for the faint of heart. However, I consider that every true Christian should watch this film at least once in his or her life. I watched it several times to remind myself of what Christ did for us, and every time I watched it, I burst into tears.

In the drama, Yi Ren repaired a zither. And in Story of Kunning Palace, Zhang Zhe glued vases together. In the same way, God “glued” me and Hao Lan together. What has happened to me in 2022 is best described by the song Left Outside Alone by Anastacia. And tell me, is it possible to forgive the person who has done that to me? Never! But that goat keeps running after me like a useless trailer that won't get off. In 2022, I also experienced a kind of crucifixion. But at the beginning of 2023, I was resurrected. Now, remembering the events of 2022, I feel nothing. As Kelly Clarkson sings in her song Catch My Breath, my heart is a weightless cloud now. But this does not mean that I have forgotten. I remember everything. I am as principled in this as Yi Ren. Not only will I remember in twenty-five years, I will remember even in fifty years.

That scarecrow probably thinks that his actions will go unpunished. To find out what will happen to him, I advise him to listen to the soundtrack to the South Korean series The Fiery Priest (the first season), the song Fighter by Jung Dong Ha (정동하) feat. La.Q. Yes, I'm a fighter, just like Hao Lan, and I have the same fiery temperament as Kim Hae Il. That scarecrow will be sorry more than once for hooking me. The cup of God's patience has overflowed. Game over!

The Prince Jiao made the wrong choice. An intelligent and decent woman can lift her husband to Heavens. He should have looked not at Hao Lan's status and wealth, but at her personality. The Prince Jiao was pathetic. All he was capable of was murder and framing. All he did was walk around and “stink”. When he started to say something, I said out loud “Shut up the mouth!” :):):) It was good that Hao Lan didn't love him. The Prince Jiao reminded me of that “lover of Justin Bieber”, the Chinese actor Sun Jian (I have nothing against Justin, but he is listened to mostly by young girls :):):). They are even similar in appearance.

Sun Jian thinks he has used me. I would tell him a secret: it was me who used him to hurt that scarecrow. How could such an emotional and passionate woman as me like such a cold and soulless log as him? Opposites do not attract. No matter what sexual techniques he has, if he has no emotions, he's a log in bed. Let him put his cats, dogs and fireworks in his ass. I don't need cats and dogs. Their place is on the street. And I light the fireworks myself. I will tell Sun Jian something he will understand: I have never been Gao Mi. I have always been Liu Ai and Gao Hong Qi in one person. I always have been and always will be. In The Legend of Hao Lan and Song of Youth, I saw fans made of peacock feathers. Apparently, the plucked peacock Sun Jian was plucked thoroughly to make those fans. :):):)

The General Gongsun is as simple as a planer. In the series, he has said that the people of the Qin State are a pile of rubbish. It's hard to disagree with him. :):):) And again I heard that phrase, just like in other Chinese dramas. I like it so much. :):):) I liked the General Gongsun. He's a kind man. The military are simple and direct people, in a good sense of the word. They say what they think and do what they promise. And I'm sick of the scheming  officials in Chinese dramas. They are the same in real life.

After fully watching The Legend of Hao Lan, I came to the conclusion that Hao Lan, Yi Ren and the General Gongsun were the only good characters in the drama. The two good men were next to Hao Lan, and they both died before her. :(:(:( In the thirtieth episode, the General Gongsun has said that it's happiest to live alone. A similar phrase was said by Liao Xiao Bo in Dr. Tang. What a nonsense! Pay attention to what Yi Ren has said to Gongsun Qian in response to these his words. I will contradict both Gongsun Qian and Liao Xiao Bo and say in God's words that it is not good for a man to be alone.

The serpents Gao Min and Li Xiu Yu reminded me of Chi Yun Rou and Li Chang Le from The Princess Wei Young. And the relationship between the Princess Ya and the Prince Zi Xi reminded me of the relationship between Scarlett O'Hara and Rhett Butler. I really liked the drama The Legend of Hao Lan. It has some minor flaws, but you just don't notice them when you watch it. I wasn't bored for a minute watching the series. So it definitely gets a 10 from me.

Finally, I would like to draw your attention to one more thing. Since ancient times, empresses in China have been associated with the phoenix, and Chinese empresses have worn a crown, jewellery and dresses with the image of a phoenix. I also saw phoenixes in The Legend of Hao Lan. And did you know that the phoenix has been one of the symbols of Christianity since ancient times? In early Christianity, the phoenix was constantly found on funerary tombstones. Its significance in Christianity is the victory over death, the resurrection from the dead. You might remember that in the Harry Potter series of books, Albus Dumbledore had a pet phoenix named Fawkes. His patronus was also a phoenix.

In my opinion, Dumbledore is the prototype of God the Father, and Harry is the prototype of His Son, Jesus Christ. I have never considered and do not consider Dumbledore to be gay, despite J.K. Rowling's statements. There is not a single hint of this in the seven Harry Potter books. J.K. Rowling made it up to increase her popularity. Now she's such a big deal that you can't approach her directly. She put two crowns on her head, no less. I deny that Dumbledore is a homosexual. He has a normal sexual orientation, that's all.

It's a pity that in China, phoenix empresses have always been married to dragon emperors. I think that a phoenix woman should marry not a dragon emperor, but a lion king. By the way, I also have a Chinese hairpin with a picture of a phoenix on it, as well as a bedding set with a depiction of phoenix feathers.

Also, according to the traditional Chinese medicine, the human body is designed to last for one hundred and twenty years, meaning that a person with a healthy lifestyle can live for one hundred and twenty years. It's interesting that before the Global Flood, people lived for hundreds of years, and after the Flood, human life was shortened and could be no more than one hundred and twenty years.

God purposely has shortened the life span of people, because the longer a sinful person lives in the world, the more sinful he or she becomes. That was the case before the Flood, and that was why God sent it, to destroy all the sinful deeds of the ancient people. Imagine how sinful and insane people were then, that even the long-suffering and merciful God could not stand it and sent a flood to punish them. I will tell you more, Chinese. The Lord God Holy Trinity is that “Heaven” you believe in so much.

In addition, I would tell you about an interesting incident that happened to me recently. When I was on the bus, a lady sat next to me with depiction of two tigers on the back of her sweatshirt, one of which was orange and the other was white. The plucked peacock and the goat are pretending to be tigers again. :):):) On the same day, I saw a children's clothing store called Сімба (Simba). Probably, “Simba” thinks of me. :) No one doubts that he is a kindergarten teacher. He already sells children's clothes. :):):)

You know, when I was still watching Song of Youth, I decided that after that drama I would watch The Legend of Hao Lan. I looked at the photos for The Legend of Hao Lan on MyDramaList and saw the photos in which almost every actor and actress of the series was standing with a bouquet of flowers, which included sunflowers. When I started watching The Legend of Hao Lan, those photos had already been deleted. God would deal with those who deleted those photos separately. Don't think you are the smartest!

In the end, I dedicate the song Fighter by Christina Aguilera to me and Hao Lan. This song is about us. Read the lyrics to the song. You will like it (as well as the official video of the song). In the past, I valued myself too cheaply because I thought that a man's looks didn't matter. As Coco Chanel said, “There should be no handsome men, and there are no ugly men. There are few flowers and warm champagne”. Now I pay attention to other men, men I've always liked, like my four favourite Chinese male actors: tall, handsome, rich. Poor suckers won't have enough money for me anyway. :):):)

To that scarecrow that keeps chasing me, I would like to say the following. Little dragon, aren't you tired of chasing me? I have explained to you in popular language what will happen to you at the top of the high, round tower. But you still run stumbling to your doom. I have never seen a bigger jerk in my life. Well, as they say, it's not unhealthy to run, it's   unhealthy not to run: ):):) F#cking running man!

P.S. To Chinese men who will want to marry me, I inform you: do not hope that as I am a foreigner, you will not have to pay a bride price. It is because I am a foreigner that the price will be three times higher. God loves a trinity. :):):) But actually, I am priceless...
