Court Intrigue Period C-drama Glory with Hou Ming Hao and Gulinazha Premieres December 29th on Hunan TV and Mango TV
It’s a simultaneous two-fer for C-actor Hou Ming Hao this week as another of his filmed C-dramas has premiered. Xianxia C-drama The Unclouded Soul (Xiao Yao 逍遥) premiered right after Christmas on December 27th and two days later his court intrigue C-drama Glory (Yu Gu Ming Cha 玉茗茶骨) has also dropped. Thankfully the two dramas are totally different genres and Glory is more of a change in pace for Hou Ming Hao who has done more wuxia and xianxia in period fare. Unfortunately Glory has female lead Gulinazha who in over ten years has magically not improved one iota though her visuals have also stayed the same top level so she has that going for her. This Glory also has shades of the other The Glory that aired earlier this year also with the same household plus court plotting set up. Regardless its another C-drama that is available for those still looking for something to watch over the holidays.
She looks different though. I almost did not recognize her. It’s the nose and lips and many slimmer than I remember her to be? She did well enough in that one historical drama that had a sequel not that long ago. The male lead is on a roll churning so many dramas out this year. Makes me wonder which will do better.
