I’m so excited to see Li Qin playing a kick-ass martial artist / female general in The Song of Glory. Qin Hao plays Liu Yikang (yes, they changed the storyline during filming), the emperor’s brother who later becomes prime minister.
The 53 episode drama releases 2 eps every Wed-Fri on Tencent (subs on Viki).
Glory is the second period drama this year that I’ve watched more than 12 episodes of, and this is only happening thanks to Li Qin’s character (she’s impulsive, but I don’t find her frustrating. Yet.)
Tried watching a couple of episodes and it was a bit disappointing. None of the characters has much personality so far and the schemes seemed to dumb everyone down.
Is it based on a novel?
It’s an original script.
