More Lu Zhen and Gao Dan + Ending Speculation

-
 I feel the main couple in Female Prime Minister greatly resembles the love relationship between Seo Jang  Geum and Min Jung-ho in the sensationally popular Korean drama Dae Jang Geum.  The ever devoted Prince Gao Dan will tirelessly support Lu Zhen in her political rise to become the first female prime minister He will protect/watch her from afar and give her a helping hand when she falls.

What I fear most now is a bad ending! I do not want to watch another tragedy and I just want things to just end in a "happily ever after." I don't care if a happy ending is cliche and unrealistic. I dread having to watch one of the main characters die and the other spends the rest of his/her in solitude.

When I watched the 5-minute MV trailer, I noticed these two shots and my heart just dropped ten thousand feet. What is the meaning of THIS?!

I'm REALLY hoping the above two shots are just misleading and Gao Dan will not die in the drama! He is just sleeping in Lu Zhen's arms in the second shot. Otherwise, I would want to bang my head like this...
I acknowledge that the characters Lu Zhen and Gao Dan in Female Prime Minister are more fiction than fact. Real history is a different story from the fictional TV drama. The historical Gao Dan was a total nutcase and sadomasochist who overindulged in debauchery and sent himself to an early grave at the age of 32. The historical Gao Dan could die an early death because he deserved it! But...Female Male Prime Minister's Gao Dan should be spared from such a deathly fate....

JoleCole chants, "He will not die an early death.. He will not die an early death..."

On a happier note, I'm very excited about a wedding scene between Lu Zhen and Gao Dan. If Gao Dan does end up dead, at least they were  married...I hope they actually consummate their marriage and Lu Zhen can pop out a kid for him! Please do not have some third-wheeler show up to ruin their wedding night...

Photos of the wedding scene...
The wedding scene looks so promising! I think this scene takes place before Gao Dan ascends the throne and before the death of his brother. I actually saw another photo where Gao Yin was at the wedding ceremony, so...what would happen to Lu Zhen when Gao Dan becomes emperor? Another certainty is Lu Zhen won't be his first nor his only wife/concubine... Beware diehard romantics! Gao Dan may give his heart only to Lu Zhen, but his body belongs to several women. We'll be seeing some polygamous relationships unfold...again. Female Prime Minister is filled with love triangles, quadrangles...maybe even an octangle!

Understanding the final episode of Sealed with a Kiss

Are you unsatisfied and frustrated with the final episode? Expected a happily ever after? Apparently, the scriptwriter succeeded in getting us all hooked onto this series for 28 episodes and suddenly bombarded us with a really CRAPPY open ending. My reaction when I first finished watching the final shot of Mo Shaoqian  walking lonely toward the police station was like this...   I so expected the last scene to be the novel's ending where Tong Xue cried at the airport, and not Shaoqian at the police station!  At minimum, I think they should have put Shaoqian's police station scene before Tong Xue's airport scene. Then show us Shaoqian at the airport watching Tong Xue's cries from a distance, as described in the epilogue. To cure my poorly frustrated mood, I rushed to reread the dreamily happy epilogue that the author wrote for Sealed with a Kiss novel. After reading various analyses by different viewers online and the scriptwriter's comments about the endin

Character Guide to Nirvana in Fire 2: Wind Blows in Changlin

Like Nirvana in Fire I, Nirvana in Fire 2: Winds Blow in Changlin has a plethora of characters that are not strictly good or evil. In terms of story execution, the sequel can be split into three phases, each driven by one of the three leading male characters. The central figure of the first phase is Huang Xiaoming's Xiao Xiaozhang whose intelligence and political shrewdness are well exhibited from Episode 1 to 25. The second phase is led by Liu Haorang's Xiao Pingjing. Although Xiao Pingjing also figures prominently in the first phase, his moment to shine is actually from Episode 28 onward. The focal character of the last phase is undoubtedly the antihero, Wu Haochen's Xiao Yuanqi. His slow progression into darkness and moral conflict bring the story into a new climate. This drama is officially being subtitled by DramaFever and Viki. You should go check out the series if you want to watch something that is not cheesy and has substance. Xiao Pingjing 萧平旌 - Second Yo

Ru Yi: The drama that brought Hawick Lau and Yang Mi together

I'm sure many of you have heard the surprised announcement on January 8th about Yang Mi and Hawick Lau admitting to their romantic relationship on Sina weibo.  Personally, I always wanted Yang Mi to hook up with her Gong co-star, Feng Shaofeng, but that's wishful thinking. Real life is totally different from onscreen pairing. Trivia : Yang Mi was actually the producers' first choice to play Tong Xue in Sealed with a Kiss. I think she was offered the role, but she turned it down to accept another project, Beijing Love Story. I remember during the casting phase, the casting decision for Tong Xue was announced last while it was publicized pretty early that Hawick Lau would play Mo Shaoqian. Thus, many fans speculated for a long time that Yang Mi was cast as Tong Xue. Before Sealed with a Kiss ever started shooting, fans actually created a MV with Hawick as Mo Shaoqian and Yang Mi as Tong Xue, using previous existing materials from their individual series. Now I come to think
