The Legend of Anle

I have increased the rating from 9/10 to 10/10 after watching 19 episodes. True enough, it takes patience to understand the story and to witness the great acting skills. I enjoyed the chemistry among the casts. They looked natural to me and of course there were exceptions. It didn't bother me too much as they were not the main characters and I just had to fast forward. My favourite part is how the Emperor and Crown Prince Han Ye showed respect and love for each other. Their communication is so subtle and yet moving.

The director of this drama used a story telling method to illustrate the lives of Prince Han Ye and Di Ziyuan (Ren Anle). You will need to be patient to wait for the story to develop over time. The two leads made the drama a little more fun to watch as we anticipated it to be an emotional draining one. They looked natural in interacting with one another and some of the unexpected actions were surprisingly attractive. I love the story continued as they played along with each other's plot. I would have given a rating of ten if not for the dubbing and some of the effects that were a little too much for me.

So far, the story is beautifully presented. Pretty costumes, backdrop sets. Both leading roles are doing good job. I especially like Gong Jin's crown prince Han Ye, a person stunningly beautiful and decent from within and the appearance. Gong Jun's performance has a tint of English acting style somehow. A natural, effortless and subtle way to illustrate role. I like the way he express feelings through his eyes. There are profound emotions in his eyes. And he masters very well. That is amazing. With his input, Han Ye is very charismatic and eye-catching. Thanks for Gong Jin's touching performance, I can't wait for watch the whole series.

My review is based on the first few episodes. I am quite impressed by the acting of the two main leads. Ren An Le is taking initiative in getting closer to Han Ye in first episode. And I was attracted by the Male Lead, not for his handsome look but his acting, he looked frightening in the first episode haha! After a few episodes, I can feel that he admired An Le very much, thru his eyes (his eyes can talk?), although he was trying hard to control his expression (he shouldn't fall in love with anyone except Di Zi Yuan). I am so curious for the following episodes now, hoping for more surprises the leads could bring to us. I know very soon they are going to overcome lots of challenges and I might need to get ready few packs of tissues :(

In this drama, I adore Dileaba's character. She did a good job of portraying her part. Dilraba was so stunning when she was holding the umbrella and gazing at Gong Jun. Dilraba is capable of portraying any kind of character in a drama or movie. She is undoubtedly a beautiful and talented actor with a wide range of roles. She does a great job engaging with the other actors and actresses as well as her male protagonist. If you watch the behind-the-scenes videos, it appears that the actors and actresses were having a good time while filming the drama. Gong Jun is also a great actor and I hope his character will develop into something great later. They get along well together, and I hope we get to see more dramatic and action-packed scenarios. The plot thus far is great. It's good to see Dilraba and Liu Yunning acting together once more. Also fantastic is the OST.

Though the filter and technology effects are at low standard, the love line between the main couple is very lovely and warm. I love how Gong Jun describes the little changing in the mind of Han Ye through his eyes and his little adding actions. And yes, he is so handsome that I can now imagine how Han Ye in the original novel was described. The most handsome and kind prince crown, tender and gentle like jade is what Gong Jun makes me feel. And the presentation of Dilereba in this An Le role is attractive too. She plays well as a flirting but also intelligent An Le. Give this beautiful couple a chance.
