Feng Shao Feng, Peng Xiao Ran, and Zhu Zheng Ting get entangled in Shining Just For You

Shining Just For You (星河长明) is adapted from the novel written by Zhan An (novel name is Novoland: The Princess From Plateau (九州·朱颜记)  and it looks like another twisted love story. The story follows eighth princess (Cheng Xiao Meng) of the Ye Bei clan and her close friend (our female lead, Peng Xiao Ran) who is shunned because she is considered an outsider. In order to attack Ye Bei, Emperor Gao of Chao Kingdom (male lead) devises a plan to give him a good excuse; he proposes a marriage to eighth princess knowing that she would reject, thus giving him a reason to attack. To save her relatives and the kingdom, eighth princess jumps to her death over a cliff. The Ye Bei clan suffers greatly, leading to their destruction. Our female lead swears to take revenge for her best friend and Ye Bei clan, thus she creates a new identity and enters the palace to assassinate the king. Her failing attempts stir interests in the King and he slowly falls in love with her. Our heroine is moved but her loyalty to her friend didn’t allow betrayal. SPOILER: She continues to plot and eventually the Chao Kingdom falls and the King dies. Not sure how…but if this synopsis remains true in the drama, fans are doomed for tears!

Airing 11/30!

    I usually Like Feng Shao Feng and he’s certainly a good actor. Definitely has improved over the years since his earlier drama with Yang Mi in ‘Palace’.

    However…I’m sad to say he’s looking rather worn and tired. I have no issues with an age-gap romance, provided it is done well. But what’s with the horrible moustache? He looked like a salty uncle all I could do was *shudder* and barely made it to 2mins of the trailer.

      😂 FSF really is emitting the uncle vibe. He’s the butt of AVV community’s joke, hence we call him Swoony Uncle (SU or Swoouncle). Aside from his… uncle looks… the drama is not bad as it is moving along pretty fast. Nothing fantastic, but it’s not putting the fanclub to sleep at least!

        Oh I’m so pleased and (relieved) that I’m not the only one feeling the uncle vibes.

        I might watch it if the short clips depicts some chemistry. Thank you for the feedback.

          It’s just a shortened version of our site’s name. AVirtualVoyage = AVV. 😀

    Okay, I’ve watched about 12 episodes and honestly I liked it. I was definitely entertained.

    I must admit FSF saved the day. His acting is very good. Even though he did give a bit of the uncle vibe in the series, fortunately, it wasn’t salty or creepy. It was more of a mature feel, so I didn’t mind. Much to my surprise, I thoroughly enjoyed watching him fall for PXR (Bai Lu). It was very natural. I think at the beginning, he found her pretty and smart. Probably was attracted to her but it was more a passing thought. Of course later you could see it starts to change.

    I think he was more of a doting uncle at the initial stages but as time progressed he found his feeling started to form into something deeper. Which was rather sweet and lovely to watch. I was so relieved that FSF was able to pull it through.

    If you can ignore or overlook the choppy editing, bad CGI, boring second ML, and silly sub-plot (Princess Lan and her cohorts), then give it go.

    Although. I hope youku won’t cut any more of the scenes between the leads especially the intimate ones. There is actual chemistry and I find that I am looking forward to the next episode (lol) – I wouldn’t mind seeing more of FSF.

What do you think?
