Legend of ZhenHuan [Episodes 55-57] Recap + Review

[@conniechen3969]

omg you forgot how the fourth prince also told the servants to make the "medicine" as undrinkable as they can. you can see lil hongli's cunningness even without the teaching from zhenhuan

[@dramarecaps4217]

AH you are so right! He was a naughty boy to begin with 🤣

[@sonjulliette]

The return of Zhen Huan gave me chills when I saw it...and I was like "Yeah someone will pay someday"

[@dramarecaps4217]

Yupppp! She has no feelings left for the emperor and is just here to kick some butt

[@peppi5549]

But can we talk about Zhen Huan's outfit when she makes her grand return. That golden (and red) color looks perfect on her! 😮🎉

[@dramarecaps4217]

👑👑 She couldn't look better

[@emilymiguel8198]

Yeah she looks like a snack 😋

[@Soleanthia]

Oh man the Judge Judy eye roll when Empress was welcoming Zhen Huan back legitimately made me laugh out loud. This section is my favorite of the series. Zhen Huan is all no nonsense and I LOVE it.

[@dramarecaps4217]

Every time she talks she's being fake 🙄🙄 And she does it with such a straight face!! Definitely agree, it was a hard road here but I love everything about the new Zhenhuan 😁

[@edenmarble8048]

She was my fav in Ruyi before even watching this series... now I can reasonably justify all the mean stuff she did!!!

[@SnowdropWood]

"Yeah, please don't kill me." and "Damn, my mom is cool." both had me rolling. 😂 Great recaps, thanks for making them. 🙂

[@livianlim3104]

these recap videos are literally my saviour since i watched the drama on youtube and the episodes were only subbed until ep49 for now. after ep49 it was hard for me to understand what was going on anymore with my poor chinese lmao. thanks for making these since now i can finally get what was happening!

[@dramarecaps4217]

A lot of people are on the same boat! Haha hopefully someone finishes subbing it one day, but until then I'm glad to hear these helped :)

[@realmofthesenses]

@@dramarecaps4217 It is recently subbed until ep 53. According to the subber's website (The Magpie Bridge Brigade) Empresses Palace is an ongoing project.

[@Alivieina]

All the way up to 61 is up now. And the Magpie Bridge Brigade is working on more. :D

[@Backtoalonica]

I love the vibes Huan is giving off now ✨✨✨

[@dramarecaps4217]

She is such a queen!

[@angorarabit]

So Xin, the honorary title Xin Guiren has, means happiness or joy... guess that joy or happiness must have been stamped out somewhere; don't know where that happened, could have been under the emperor's time as a prince, her miscarriage at the beginning, during Hua Fei's reign of terror, or the Empress's reign of terror, but it happened. Feels bad for Xin Guiren. I happen to love Zhen Huan's consort attire; the fashionable asymmetry and red lipstick really give off "I'm not a target you can step over"; it also helps I love blue.

[@dramarecaps4217]

The emperor loves new, bright, happy women and then slowly life here stomps it out of them. Instead of thinking about why that is, he then goes out and finds new pretty birds to trap in the cage that is the forbidden city :)

[@yourbootyholeisyourbeautyhole]

⁠@@dramarecaps4217 which sucks, because xin guiren is one of the two most beautiful women in the harem (the other being duan fei) and though she's not seen often, when we _do_ get to see her, she's polite and sometimes even adorably sassy. had it not been made obvious that xin guiren was already part of the harem (what with the mention of her miscarriage in the first or second episode), i would have assumed she was one of the new concubines. hell, sun li is only a few months younger than xin guiren's actress!

[@anujkalra6145]

Hey thanks for summarizing this so nicely! I have been a fan of this show ever since I saw it on Netflix many years ago. Of course due to the cuts of many scenes and sub-plots, a lot of things didn’t make sense so I ended up watching the series from scratch on KissAsian!

[@camillebrady3661]

Aaah that Judge Judy insert! Loooove it!

[@Lisamisamoo]

i love this channel so much, thank you for doing a recap in english!!! 😍

[@dramarecaps4217]

My pleasure 😁

[@Taigamom]

Good to see you back with the recap😍 @1:18 Her loyal heart makes me cry. @5:35 I would do the same if I were in her shoe. The kid means all the world to her.

[@dramarecaps4217]

Absolutely, both MeiZhuang and Jingfei can do no wrong in my eyes❤️ thanks for the support!

[@isabellaa947]

thank you sm do this !!!!!! 😭😭 i had to stop at ep 50 because the eng subs on yt stopped and the ones on other sites are horrible.

[@dramarecaps4217]

Glad to help. I hope some kindhearted subbers will decide to finish this drama one day!

[@Brithyst]

Loving your reviews!! Keep up the effort

[@dramarecaps4217]

Thank you so much 💕 I will!

[@nixe926]

Your recap really helps me! Ive been wanting to rewatch zhen huan zhuan but too lazy to sit through the entire series haha. Please so ruyi zhuan after this!!

[@dramarecaps4217]

I do that a lot with movie recap channels haha glad I can help someone else :) I think I will do RuYi next!

[@russelrivera2509]

Even I is the same, but now thanks for the recap

[@rothchristina347]

“Shut up” hahahahahahahhahaha

Day 29464282. I still can't stand HuanBi 🙄

[@yvonneburns2786]

And yet Ruyi suffered the same type of treatment.

[@user-dc4sq9fb4t]

Ok irl she was 32 but how is she 32 in the show if she started as a 17 year old and was exiled as a 21 year old (in the show) if 3 years of exile have passed she should be 24 this is where the show really confuses me like in episode 74 or 75 she said she was 37 but according to the show she should be 27/28

[@dramarecaps4217]

You're totally right. Before she came back to the palace the emperor gave her a new identity. Part of that new identity was changing her age, adding 10 years so she could be seen as 4th Prince's mother. Check out the 54-55 video, around 4 minutes in

[@user-dc4sq9fb4t]

@@dramarecaps4217 oh Tysm for telling me I didn’t even know that 😁😁😁

[@jayjamerson4283]

where do you watch this? with english sub 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@dramarecaps4217]

You can find it sites like kissasian and dramacool, but the subs aren't very natural so they're a bit tough to understand.

[@theblurmetalhead]

out of the ashes the Winner will arise That is who she is

[@ingenuity168]

4th prince not her biological son. What's the name of the actress for the dowager?

[@dramarecaps4217]

Leanne Liu (Chinese name, Liu SueHa)

[@wvnder]

You’re fluent in Mandarin, right? Otherwise where are you watching these episodes 😭

[@dramarecaps4217]

Yes, sorry I'm watching them in Chinese :/ there are subs on various sites, it's just that they're mostly machine translated so they're not all that easy to understand.

[@yezhoushen8114]

I don't think she was 32 at the time. I remember her servant mentioning she was younger than 30 in later episodes.

[@dramarecaps4217]

In episode 55, The Emperor changes her identity (and age) in order to get her back into the palace. She is actually 22, but with her new identity (+10 years) she's "officially" 32.

[@yezhoushen8114]

@@dramarecaps4217 I thought you mentioned 32 as her biological age. I misunderstood lol. I still can't get over the fact she accomplished that much at 22 years old.
