Lin Lang and her brother Chang Qing
C/O OMNI TV: CHRONICLE OF LIFE TV SERIES
Zheng Shuang (as Lin Lang) is such a good dramatic actress and her role as a simple, non-ambitious woman who would rather be a loyal servant to the Emperor Kangxi (played by Hawick Lau) who likes her. He likes Lin Lang but the truth is he loves her. Their love story is one epic saddest story because of too many villains involved. However, the weirdest part of this incredible series is why the hell Lin Lang have to suffer being given karate chop every time they have to carry her home to the Palace? Or out to be carried another chop at the back. Resistant. A woman who would rather die and the rest of the people who tried to protect her and saved her from death.
Isn't it too good to be true that you wished that the Emperor is an action star? That he can defend himself and he is so smart, strong with strength of the Shaolin master? Imagine yourself being attack by Black Ninjas and the superbly superhero Emperor saved you and saved the day. Best Actor: Hawick Lau. His weakness is being played around by the selfish Grandma Empress Dowager who was very strict when it comes to etiquette and other moral standards but for her to suggest concubines are part of the empire's law. Hm, maybe it was necessary during that period of time because they have to secure lineage or dynasty making sure that there are available heirs once the emperor died or failed to secure the Empire.
It's one hell crazy story. Lin Lang as a cousin of Nalan Rong Ruo? Great! Their friendship is one of a kind. Nalan's loyalty is superbly amazing! How could that guy could be so loyal to her? More than amazing Rong Ruo's loyalty to the Emperor. Saving Lin lang from all the villains and saving the Emperor is one hell of a job protecting intruders and whoever will poison the Emperor. He is a loyal guard, protector and savior. He is a hero! Too bad that he died early. He is such a good actor. His role or part levels with Hawick Lau (Emperor Kangxi) I mean the importance of his role is almost equal in weight when it comes to strength in action, drama, and his facial expressions also had shown gravity.
Tear jerkers? Too many crying scenes. Thanks to the superb acting of Chang Qing, the villain of Chronicle of Life. The story would be just as flat as pizza but because of Chang Qing the entire series, 37 episodes are crucially important and magnifying due to the evil and wicked maneuver and orchestration of bad, bad wolf Chang Qing. lol. His unforgettable cohorts with the many servants and consorts inside the Palace is unbelievable yet made many viewers think whether he is an angel or a demon. Best supporting actor!!!!! He is such a scene stealer. He is a versatile actor able to act innocently and naïve but deadly. I think it calls for whoever wrote his lines or script. There is a reason how he behaved that way anyway. He doesn't trust anybody after his own family and hundreds of their family's servants and guards were murdered.
Darn! You have to watch it for yourself.
This is my blog and supposedly the story is about myself.
But July 30 is about SILVER screen.
Think that CHRONICLE OF LIFE is the long version of CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON and HOUSE OF FLYING DAGGERS.
Truly unforgettable.
