I don’t write too many reviews but this show was uncharacteristically great and caught my attention from Episode 1. Alright, I was also watch for Zhang Han as well.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 45

These two can’t be together for an episode without fighting. Ah well.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 44

Sorry about the hiatus. Here is your next installment of Lu Zhen, albeit a few months late!

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 42-43 Recap

To Lu Zhen and Gao Zhan, life and death are terms that have no meaning without each other. Neither are in a good place emotionally and have to fight tooth and nail to be together against forces bent on destroying them.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 40-41 Recap

The stakes get raised as more and more people find Lu Zhen and Gao Zhan’s romance to be too serious. Lu Zhen’s status comes in between their togetherness as the two fight the outside forces trying to pull them apart.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 38-39 Recap

So these two episodes see strides being made in the Emperor and the Royal Concubine’s relationship. Hello world! Lu Zhen Recaps are back on! A thousand apologies for the delay, thank you for your patience.

Cast of Movie Gong Interviews at Happy Camp (Highlights)

So Gong has not only be a ridiculously lucrative show, but has also spawned a massive aftermath of movies, tv shows, mini online shows. If a TV show could have children, Gong would have fathered quite a few. Gong Suo Chen Xiang has nothing to do with time traveling but it the same time period and the palace struggle of the Princes is a great backdrop for the love story of mistaken identities, ambitious baddies, and innocent heroines, also clueless heroes.

So after a long hiatus which I desperately needed, I’m back. Thank you for your patience and your kindness, the sweet things people have emailed me or messaged me kept me a float this past week of online silence. But to business. Also I’ve attached the raw of the show and the cast on the end of this post.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 37 Recap

This is where Shen Jia Yan shines and rocks as an older brother. And Gao Zhan gets a lesson in Monogamy.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 36 Recap

I liked so much of this episode, especially the last part. That being said, the main characters finally, finally see sense. As for the second male lead, I can see how some people like him and some find him tedious, but at least he’s pretty to look at. And Royal Concubine, your time to shine is coming soon…

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 35 Recap

Okay, so this episode builds up to the next two, which happen to be very good. That being said, there is slight character movement as one of our evil people is slowly learning to MOVE ON with her life. Yes ladies and gentlemen, the Royal Concubine is finally, finally developing some semblance of affection toward the Emperor.  Also, Elizaphantrex, you are the best for being my editor. I would never replace you when you leave for the East Coast (US) in the coming weeks.

That being said, I’m currently looking for a new editor.

Elizaphantrex: >= l]

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 34 Recap

So, after some teasing and good advice from my dear Elizaphantrex, who incidentally will be moving far far away from me in a week (I will write you a proper goodbye on actual paper… and then forget to mail it to you, trust me, my intention was good, the execution will suck), I have decided to pick up where I left off recap wise. I am emotionally and mentally ready to be at the reins of this run away horse again.

Elizaphantrex: Awwww, you gave me the feels. I’ll be home for Christmas. Besides, the East Coast is only a facetime away! Although, I’m foreseeing the time difference may be problematic, since we already do our best work by dwindling candlelight. And dwindling candlelight on the West Coast is early morning on the East.

Also: This post was a lot longer. But because wordpress deleted EVERYTHING I wrote…. all two episodes of it… and I’ve tried to restore it to no avail, I’ll just post the episode I wrote again. I apologize to all my readers, I know how frustrating it can be to wait  for a new post,  and I promise that I’ll try to be more punctual.

Lu Zhen is like crack. It has some great moments and then terrible ones, you get a hit of the good stuff and it can last you until the next one, most of the time. Dear show, don’t make people wait too long. But in other news – this is the cutest picture ever.

Female Prime Minister: Legend of Lu Zhen Episode 32 Recap

The impossible and improbable has occured. Shen Bi and Lu Zhen are working together and not against each other. WHAT? Also, our second male lead who falls head over heels for Lu Zhen has finally decided to show up…. half way into the show.
