First stills of Queen Dugu with Chen Xiao and Chen Qiao En

First stills are released for the upcoming period drama Queen Dugu (独孤皇后) with Chen Xiao and Chen Qiao En as the epic couple in history, known for their dedication to each other, as well as their unified thoughts on frugality and spreading Buddhism. His reign was a period of prosperity with great military power. I have no qualms about Chen Xiao as a romantic emperor, he’s done it before. Expected a routine palace drama so it’s nice to see them outside of the palace in the first set of pictures.

First Stills:

Chen Qiao En. This Empress is known for her kindness, impartiality, and frugality.

Lol. I thought I was in the wrong photo group when I saw this picture. Where’s his left arm? Am I still stuck in Yumama’s Romance of the Condor Heroes with Yang Guo?!

(which arm was it?)

    Chen Xiao’s hair is so bad. Also, isn’t Yang Mi up for an Empress Dugu drama as well? Wouldn’t this one get completely overshadowed then?

      Yang Mi is Emperor Fuyao. The other Dugu is Hu Bingqing and frankly speaking, Joe Chen is a more popular female lead so unless this drama is really bad, it is likely to have high ratings.

      One thing is for sure, a lot of queens running around cdramaland. 😉

      Chen Xiao’s hair is pretty bad but I am more no-no to all of Joe’s modern bangs. Hopefully there are other styles too but just not in these posters, not usually the case though.

    Yang Guo lost his right arm I think hahahha!!!

    Agree that hair of Chen Xiao is awful, what is with that gelled side fringe… if you give him a pair of glasses he will look like those students from the earlier period.
    I am liking CQE’s costume and hairstyle though. So clean looking and it looks really pretty on her.

    Is this produced by Yu Zheng too?…

      Lol… right arm.

      Nono to Yu Zheng. Trust that if Yu Zheng is involved, I would make a red flag of it somewhere! =D
