The Legend of Anle

This drama caught my attention because it starred two of the best-looking artists in China, Gong Jun and Dilraba Dilmurat. The Legend of Anle has been the most anticipated drama for the past two years. How Ren Anle flirted and messed with the Crown Prince HanYe in early episodes is very funny. HanYe's is a complex character and Gong Jun has been doing a good job of displaying the calm and wise. I've watched 7 episodes so far and feel that Gong Jun and Dilraba have very good chemistry and their acting are excellent. I am keen to see what HanYe and Anle would do when he realized that Anle was his childhood sweetheart ZiYuan.

Gong Jun's performing is amazing. Love how he performs in a self-sustaining way and sticks to moral etiquette strictly as his character is taught to be the future king growing up. He is trained to consider everything and everyone before he acts.

However, Gong Jun's acting is never stiff and boring. He is so good at disclosing his emotions and thoughts through his eyes and micro-expression. The scene that he receives the permit from the king which releases Di touches me so much. From his eyes and micro-expression, you can tell that he is released, happy and feeling complicated at the same time as he starts to have a feeling for Ren.

The leading actress also did a great job acting. It's an interesting story and I highly recommend it to people who likes ancient CDrama!

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.

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.

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.
