COURT LADY : Apr 15, 2021 – May 23, 2021 (55 eps). Eng subs @viki.
I’m not sure if it’s going to be as good as “Yanxi Palace” but if you are a Xu Kai fangirl then check it out.
Anything Tang Dynasty deserves at least 10 eps from me.
I’m watching the Tang through DAE JO YOUNG, but it’s kind of funny to hear them speak in Korean. I don’t mind though because if they tried to speak Chinese it would probably be super cringy.
That was probably the biggest complains from viewers. They had a huge budget but they didn’t hire any Chinese actors.
I kind of understand why they didn’t. I don’t think any Chinese actors would want to be part of this show.
ANSI FORTRESS managed it, but it’s a film. Park Sung-Woong’s Chinese sounded decent, but I have no idea really.
The Chinese characters in DAE JO YOUNG are flat and not interesting. The Khitan are much more compelling, with their attempts to secure their own land and helping the Tang invading Goguryeo, but being strung along by empty promises for the most part. Lee Deok-hwa as General Xue Rengui is a very likeable villain.

I’ll check it out for Xu Kai lol.
Surprisingly I can’t find it on Iqiyi, is there any region restriction?

I think so. I’ve only seen eps 1 and pausing a few times to look up things that I’m not familiar with.
How about YouTube?

Even if he plays the same kind of character for the 150th time, I’ll still check it out for him 😂
