![RuYi's Royal Love [Episodes 70-73] Recap + Review](/img/tr.png)
"Everyone is a hero in their own story." True that. You made a good case when you pointed out that if Empresses in the Palace was told from An Lingrong 's point of view, then Zhen Huan would have been the villain. Chinese dramas are brilliant in how every character basically has a sad sob story to tell, and good and evil are defined by who the protagonist is.
Ohh man the amount of whiplash everyone is going to have when they meet the Fuca Empress for the first time in this series. While RuYi's story will forever be a top favorite of mine, YanXi Palace holds a special place in my heart.
Fuca Empress being a literal angel is SUCH a huge change for anyone coming directly from RuYi 😂
@@Ohbeesneezegurl tell me about it 😂😂
Fuca RongYin is so delightful, Langhua could never.
also Qin Lan is a veteran of the same time period, since she came from one of the many " _Huanzhu gege_ / Princess Pearl" sequels
all the time I was rotting for the empress and yingluo ,she should just put the empress in a sack carry her and run out the palace honestly 😢
Thought about going into more detail about the differences between these two shows (like the previous Zhenhuan -> RuYi video) but it makes more sense to do that after I’ve actually done the recaps since I have to rewatch the show in order to do a proper comparison.
As for the series itself, I’ll finish it all and then upload rapidly like I did this last time. That means it’ll be a long-ish break (not a year!) but it’s a lot less stress knowing that the videos are up and if anything happens it won’t affect uploads. I promise I’ll keep you guys updated!
Meanwhile, I’m still making my way through comments so if you’ve asked me a specific question or something and I haven’t responded yet, that’s most likely why :) I’ll take this time to go through and respond where I can.
Also, I might actually pop in with a non-harem video at some point since it’s nice to get my head out of the 18th century sometimes XD
Thank you guys so much for the support! Till next time!
This is my prayers answered. I actually cried when I saw this. We are going to have conversations! I'm so excited!
Yay! ♥️
I think it would be cool if you could do a character analysis between the characters. Like compare and contrast the two interpretations of qianlong?
As for non harem dramas how about untamed?
can't wait!
@mt0881 yes would love that because the "characters" are portrayed so differently in both versions it would be interesting to compare them
“Everyone is the hero of their own story!”
Lingrong: so..me too?
“Everyone other then lingrong!”
as well as Ula Nara Yixiu & Lady Guwalgiya
So hyped! This feels like I’m waiting for the next season of a show! Forget Bridgerton S3 I need DramaRecaps next season!
Honestly, I love the messages and lessons in both Ruyi and Yanxi. I bet the IRL version is somewhere in the middle of both versions. Honestly Ruyi in Yanxi isn’t even that bad, she’s just a person driven to insanity by unreturned and undervalued love from a man who doesn’t deserve her.
The best harem drama is New Life Begins (40 episodes 🎉) and a Republic Era drama is Legacy (2022) by the same company that does Yanxi Palace.
The way I immediately watched this after Ruyi’s Royal Love in the Palace was crazy. I needed the comedic relief. There were emotional moments, but at least the emperor was more tolerable in this one 😂
Don't forget to mention Fuca Fuheng... my favorite character in Yanxi. I can watch yanxi over and over again since it might be a fairy tale of harem drama 😄
We always need a creepy eunuch.
It's that goddamn smirk 😏😍
Why Noble Consort Ling (both of them) attracted creepy eunuch? Do they wear "creepy eunuch" fragrance? 🤣🤣🤣
did " _Huanzhu gege_ / Princess Pearl" have a Creepy Eunuch© tho...
@@user-ix1rp9ff3p idk but if Ling version of that drama exists..... Probably he exists too... As a stalker or something 😭
So much to say bout Yanxi Palace but most important Charmaine Sheh is phenomenal! Can’t wait to see your recaps
Yes! Yanxi Palace! Finally a harem drama that doesn't leave me sobbing on the floor (well, most of the time).
but a very real danger of sobbing on the floor from laughing too hard, such as during the "Yinglou causes the Emperor to have diarrhea and the eunuchs must scramble to form a bucket-chain of commodes" scene.
@@its99pm oh my god I had forgotten about that part 🤣
Bro the Empress and her baby prince leave me in pieces even 3 years later 🥲
@@gabig9477 yeah same, but it's still nothing compared to what Ruyi did to me
Ahhh i cant wait!! Yanxi palace was more bearable to watch than ruyis royal love. I think its due to wei yinglou not taking any sh!t!!! Omg and that eunch he still gives me the creeps lmao. Who remembers when he beat up the wei yingluo look alike?! It was so disturbing.
1:07 sad but true, but creepy in a different way, Yanxi Gonglue's creepy eunuch might be calculating but he's a bit of a manchild; Ruyi Zhuan's creepy eunuch was pure daji levels of manipulation... though both make you want to shiver
literally checking every week to see when the first one's up
Saving up my self care days for this new series recap 😂👏🏾
I never watched Ruyi’s Royal love on my own and instead watched through your drama recaps I did this specifically bc I wanted a new perspective as someone who although started with yanxi palace first and was very happy to see the main lead maintain cold and calculated persona in the palace and diving headfirst into the plots and schemes. A lot of people compare ruyi and yinglou and also compare ruyi’s loyal love and yanxi I never really understood the comparison as they are both strong woman but are different in a lot of ways so I’m glad you’re going to be doing a recap on it.
One thing I would say about ruyi’s Royal love and yanxi is that I empathize with a lot of the “villains” bc at the end of the day you’re stuck in the palace fighting for your life and your clans while barely maintaining your sanity.
I couldn’t find myself relating with ruyi but more yinglou for some reason. I just felt really sad for ruyi. Anyway I’m excited to dive back into yanxi palace it’s been a while! 😊
Like I always said Yanxi palace is about fun and ruyi about drma both are amazing in their own way and love watch them both the same
Yasss queen! I'm so excited for you to do a recap of this series. Yanxi Palace was my gateway to harem dramas and while it was really confusing for me to watch at first it made me fall in love with this genre. Can't wait to see your uploads!+
Sooo pumped! I’m so impatient, I’m very eager to get your views overall on the series. Just a few observances I have from watching Yanxi and comparing it to other historical dramas for those who have never watched Yanxi before or maybe even other dramas:
When I first watched Yanxi and then Ruyi, I was confused about how the same historical figures could be portrayed so differently. Then I did some digging and realized that in the Qing Dynasty, basically all that was recorded of the harem women was their clan name, their ranking, if they had children, and when they died. This means that literally everything else is up for interpretation since there’s so little personal information about them. So don’t be surprised if the characters are completely opposite in personality than they would be in other dramas.
Secondly, if you’re really into historically accurate dramas then apparently Yanxi is not that. I’m no expert in Chinese history, but from others who know more about it, watching Yanxi and expecting good historical accuracy would be like watching Bridgeton and expecting a documentary on the Regency Period. So just enjoy it for the good story that it is.
We’re in for a real fun time, ya’ll! I’m also rewatching the series myself so I’m all refreshed as well!
I watched first Yanxi and later Ruyi back in 2020. But I watched first Yanxi (the princess story in Netflix) and I fell for Yinglou even if she is not the main character there but her personality and savage ways were so amazing to me so I had to know more about her and then by googling I discovered that actually yanxi was a whole drama, and just like that I spend all my days during the pandemic lol watching and loving Yinglou. I simply love it!
lol me too
also a common actress is Raine Wang, who played 7th princess Zhaohua first before playing Hengti months later
Yanxi Palace, the little sister of Legend of Ruyi! Personally, I perferred Ruyi over Yanxi, but I will admit that this drama is much more on the lighthearted and humorous side, while still having serious moments and compelling storylines. The different interpretations of the historical figures by the different shows are also interesting to watch and compare.
So excited for this new series (and internally bracing for the whiplash that will occur when I start rooting for the first Empress!)

@@0megax788 re-watch her final episode
The way I pull up immediately when you post, take the time you need !!
Everyone is a hero in their own story, and we're all villians in other people's stories.
Yes!!! I’ve been waiting for this!! 🎉🎉
Can’t wait to see this recap! Also, if you haven’t yet you have got to watch Love Like The Galaxy. It’s become my new favorite to rewatch when possible!
Wow you’ve just finished RuYi’s Royal Love and you’re now doing another recap. I’m jealous of your capacity! 👏🏽
Hellllll yes! I’m ready for miss sass to kick some ass 💜
I'm actually more interested in "Imperfect Victim" which stars both The Empress and Step Empress! haha
Sadly not all episodes are on YT yet >.
omg this is like my birthday and christmas combined i'm so fucking pump for this YESSSSSSSS
I KNEW IT. I KNEW YOU WOULD START YANXI PALACE NEXT
gurl she already promised since last year since she made a poll
Yesssss! Yingluo is my girl! She’s such a good character
I just squealed I’m so excited!😆
I actually watched Yanxi Palace first and was thus hesitant to watch Ruyi's Royal Love when I realized the main boss villainess of Yanxi Palace was actually the protagonist/heroine. I got over that real quick since I have a love of harem dramas (would you consider doing recaps of some Korean harem dramas?) and alas there isn't a whole lot of them that I can find translated for me watch. I wound up falling in love with Ruyi's Royal Love too, even though it's so darker than Yanxi Palace and left me with bittersweet feeling. And having watched both dramas, it makes me wonder how each story would have differed of their counterpart in the other drama was in the other. Like Wei Yinglou, would have to be working hard to counter Ruyi's Jia.
Oh God here we go! I personally have tried to avoid Yanxi Palace for the simple fact that I don't know if I can manage that transition in the characters after being so committed to Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace, especially because I love Ruyi's character so much but if you make videos about it for sure i will watch them, this is one of my favorite CZcams channels your style is just great, so... who knows? maybe I'll give this new drama a chance.
I hope you are doing well! (Of course, within what can be expected since we are still in mourning for the best empress.)
Originally when I watched Yanxi compared to Ruyi I felt ready to hate it because I admired Ruyi so much. Yanxi does a really good job of making Ruyi seem like a person instead of martyr or saint. She’s a real person who loves the emperor and even admires Yinglou’s audacity. Even then, Yinglou is pitiful in someways to because she values revenge more than love. There’s many good life lessons in both.
Honestly and truly, I think you should watch it. It’s a very good story and I can tell you from having watched both that you will see a lot of similarities between Ruyi and Empress Fucha. If Ruyi had had Yinglou to back her… well, let’s just say her story would have turned out quite differently.
I was the opposite because I watched Yanxi Palace first and avoided Ruyi for that exact reason 😂
Like I loved empress Fucha so much in Yanxi but I couldn't stand her in Ruyi. Give it a go, it's wort it.
I was like that too!!! But i gave it a shot and it was worth it. It does take some getting used to but it’ll be like watching a normal drama after a couple episodes.
While I don't like Yanxi as much because I find Yinglou to be a bit of a Mary Sue who always turns out to be playing 4D Chess when you think she's in real trouble, I greatly appreciate it for showing a very different side of harem life. Yinglou is an embroidery maid, a palace maid, personal maid to the Empress, a workhouse maid, a maid in YuanMing Yuan, etc, for a large part of the drama, and we get to view the harem from the servant's side instead of through the eyes of a noble lady who's never had to work a day in her life. We get to see how servants live, their minor dramas, their struggles, and how quickly your whole life could change based on the whims of your masters.
It's *refreshing* to see a completely different point of view than Ruyi/ZhenHuan/most palace dramas show us. Also, once Yinglou makes the switch and joins the ranks of the concubines, we don't have to deal with a scared & naïve newbie who falls into traps and fears stepping wrong, instead we get to watch a hardened veteran with determination and a clear (if lofty) agenda. I do appreciate all of that, I just wish Yinglou wasn't always Superwoman Extraordinaire so I actually worried for her safety when she appears to be in trouble.
Personally, I have more criticisms for Yanxi than I do Ruyi, but I do like the series overall. I'm excited for more content and excited to see what you say
Was creepy eunich really creepy? Well yeah
Died xD Though i do like creepy eunuch alot more here and v excited to see your take on my alltime favourite cdrama!
Ahhh, Yanxi Palace 💕 When I remind myself to not take it as seriously and just kick back and have some fun, it's really top tier entertainment! I just prefer the more heart-wrenching drama 90% of the time ;)
Favorite characters:
Fuca Rongyin, the absolute QUEEN of EVERYTHING, she is perfection, poise, and fragile strength
Shu when she's badly lying to try and cover her own ass
Chun and her Hailan-arch from unwilling concubine to coldly calculating consort, but Actually Evil (I will defend Hailan until the End Times)
Gao, especially every time she's silently fuming and does it so well you swear there's actual steam coming out her ears
and last but not least...
Erqing. Hands down the WORST maid-turned-villain character EVER, I hate her with the passion of a thousand overheated suns!!! Forget A'Ruo or Huanbi - they can't even compare to the shadow of Erqing's left little finger, she's so *v i s c i o u s*
Yasssss to Yanxi palace recap! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
Omg!!! I was hoping you would do this one❤❤❤I'm soooo happy 😭😭😭😭
Its funny i just finished a crossover fic between Yaxni and Ruyi in may. Like fr, ying luo takes no shit and prisoners. Can't wait!
I've never been this early... or this HYPED. OML my favorite harem drama recapped by my favorite reviewer? COUNT! 👏 ME !👏 IN! 👏
Damn I never clicked to fast to see you again!!!!!
YEESSSS i can't wait till you bless us with your Yanxi Palace videos!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻
Heres a suggestion: while you're watching the series, how about making a Lets Watch community post so we can all sort of kind of watch it together with you? That way you'd get audience comments and questions for your recap videos early.
Really looking forward to hearing your thoughts on Yanxi Palace!
Ruyi is my fave C-drama, but frankly it is amazing that Yanxi Palace makes me change my mind over the most hated person in RuYi's RLIP, Qianlong. WHO would have thought that THAT dude had any possibility to be in my opinion the perfect male lead??!! He is still arbitrary in his favours, and quite cruel in his punishments, but he doesn't believe people saying random crap at him and he has this comedy aspect that makes him just adorable. Yingluo is just my utter murderous spirit animal.
It would be amazing if you did a series covering this series. This was the first Chinese drama that I ever watched! It's such an interesting and exciting show!
Wiiiiiiii
I miss you and your recap so much!
I'm ready to see the yandere and dark version of consort xian
OMGGGGG YES! I am so excited for you to review Yanxi Palace!!!!
yes yes yes YES!!! I'm so stoked for your recap on ths series 👏🏽❤let the games begin yingluo!

so happy you're going to keep uploading! looking forward to the next episode!

So I was really hoping youd cover this one next! I'm so excited!!!!
Yes!! I've been waiting
Glad to see it. 🎉🎉
LETS GOOOOOOOO
Yay! I hoped that you would recap Yanxi palace. I just love how comedic this drama is. The dialogue delivery and jokes are quite a change from Ruyi's royal love depressing vibes. Thank you
YES! I love Yanxi Palace and can't wait for your excellently humorous recaps.
lol Drama Recaps should probably invest in a Ying'luo counter to note how many people crossed Ying'luo and were promptly dispatched
Yay. Thank you so much and take as much time as you need. We look forward to hear your commentaries (even rants). :D
I watched both dramas when they were released on Viki/Drama Feaver at the same time. It was crazy. The only time I chased two currently airing dramas at the same time.
can't wait for your episodes commentary . I love your sense of humor , and I pretty much had the same reaction in the previous dramas you did, keep going , I just subscribed !
Hell yes!! I’m so excited for this 🎉
YAAAAAAYYYYYYY!!!!!!
She isn’t a concubine, she’s THOR 😂😂😂
I'm soooo excited!!!!!
Thank you I’m so excited🎉
Yesssss . I'm soooo here for this !!!
Omg I'm loving this. I've been enjoying clips of both of these shows forever!
Thank you so much! I always looked forward to when you posted each day and looked forward to your videos. I even like having them playing in the background 😂. I’m so pumped!!!
can't wait 🤩
I'm actually so relieved that there'll be a break before the YanXi Palace recaps because I only started watching it like a month ago and I need time to get through it. Very entertaining so far. Thank you for all your videos & best of luck with making the YanXi Palace recaps! :)
Whoo hoo!!!! Yanxi palace!!
OMGGGGG Good sis thank you soooo much this is my favorite show
Oh my gosh I’m so excited! One of the first c-dramas I watched was Yanxi Palace! After watching it, I got sucked into the rabbit hole and watched ruyi’s royal love and legend of Zhenhuan. I actually found this channel because I was so far down the rabbit hole that I needed more content about these dramas! Thank you so much for all that you do! 😊❤️
Yasss I am so excited!
There is no historical records of Step empress AKA Ruyi and in historical records Consort Ling was not evil at all. The name and honours says it all.
Oh my god I'm so happy you're recapping Yanxi Palace 🎉🎉🎉
The guy who played creepy eunuch in Yanxi was SO GOOD at being creepy!!!
Can’t wait!! 💖✨💖✨💖✨
Yeaaah! I watched yangxi before ruyi! I prefer Ruyi thought the former was very entertaining
I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS
EEEEE I’m so excited you’re doing Yanxi! Your recap videos are my favorites to put on while I’m working and cleaning, can’t wait to hear all your thoughts on a new series. 🙏🏼✨💖
AAAAAAA😮😮🎉🎉🎉❤ Yes! I'm so happy that you'll be covering Yanxi palace. Having already finished it, I'm excited to hear your thoughts on it.
Yeeeeeah, yanxi palace is my other favourite drama
Another Cdrama is The story of Ming Lan😊
YESSSS IM SO EXCITED!!!!!!!
I’d like to make an MV or animation of “look what you made me do” for Yanxi. I think it would be kind of epic. :)
I can imagine. So good
FACK YAAAAAS! Was hoping you would make this!
So hype you are covering this drama! ❤❤
So excited!! ❤
I'm so excited! Yanxi Palace is my favourite drama, I was just considering sitting down for my third re-watch. if I knew I could stick to watching just one episode at a time I would watch along with your reviews, but I tend to marathon things super fast, it's too good to wait 😅
There's a couple of things I have specific opinions on in Yanxi Palace, and I'm curious to see if you have similar thoughts, I can't wait ^^
WE WON!!
I love this one! It's just fun!
Can't wait for your recap)
I'm on my dissertation write-up (again) while playing your videos as my background music. Can't wait for the full series recap to come out! Take care and we're all staying tuned x 下次再见～
The primary difference of Ruyi's royal love and Yanxi palace is the portrayal of the characters.
In Ruyi the characters are evil but mostly tragic, you will hate them but you cannot lament about their motivation and feel bad about them. The one you will hate the most is the emperor because he is instigating all of these when he could have solved it himself.
Yanxi palace is different it centers around Wei Yinglou and how she is special enough that the emperor disregarding all the harem women for her because the emperor is not shown that annoying as Ruyi's.
It's different in Ruyi's because of the class difference between them because Ruyi is from a noble family she is educated and tactful while Wei Yanwan is not. Ruyi was emperor's childhood friend loved him so she didn't need to climb the social ladder so that's why she could stay passive and be all that noble. While Yanwan couldn't afford it, she had no backing from court to influence the emperor so she had to rely on her seduction and other methods.
You can say Ruyi's story centers around the plot while Yanxi palace centers around character. However since my personal preference is grey characters who are tragic I would prefer Ruyi a bit more I even like this version of Yingluo because it actually shows how much disposable women are in the system and to the emperor. That the real villain was not that scary Imperial Noble Consort but the emperor. That nobody should love him sincerely or trust him blindly and especially not fight for his favour. Everyone in the end regretted it.
After watching both it got me wonder. Why is Ling Fei (Yawan, Yingluo) always in love with a guard, and friended with a creepy eunuch.
yayyy🎉🎉
