This drama combines many elements such as history, palace fighting, suspense, eroticism, etc., and the seasoning is too much, but the taste is not good. As a main drama, the layout is not big enough, and as a joke, there are too many characters and clues, and people who are not familiar with this history will inevitably be confused.
The biggest attraction of the whole play is Louis XIV and his younger brother, the Duke of Orleans. I have to say that the director's ability to pick actors is much higher than telling stories. The modern costumes are not particularly stunning for the two little fresh meats. Brother Wang is picturesque." What is even more commendable is that they are not only good-looking, but also very good in acting, and they portray the complex emotions between brothers in a perfect way.
When Louis came to the throne at the age of 15, the concept of "I am the country" was deeply rooted in his bones. What he did was right, and it was a matter of course for him to send anyone to do things. In self-recognition, he is the king first, then his father, brother, husband, lover (this determines that he and Wangdi will never be able to talk on the same channel), so he can't cry in front of everyone, and can't be close to the sick (Even if it is a close relative), can't express his heart at will, dare not trust anyone wholeheartedly, and be seriously persecuted and delusional makes him unable to sleep well. Brother Wang, who has been raised as a spare tire since childhood, has a much easier life, and he indulges his good friends all day long. The heart is actually very painful. Fourteen is guarding him and restricting him. There are too many things that he can't do on his own (not even going home. Fourteen must live in Versailles), except for losing his temper. Four quarreled, Fourteen was happy to coax him, and when he was impatient, "Don't forget who you are talking to" choked him to death.
The two brothers seem to be very different. One is well-versed in power and control, while the other has no scheming and is innocent and kind, and can't always speak together, but these conflicts and differences do not affect their feelings at all. Fourteen always cared about and tolerated Wangdi, Wangdi maintained absolute loyalty on issues of right and wrong, and never gave birth to two hearts. It is a pity that what is lacking most in this world is not love and care, but understanding, and it is precisely at this point that they cannot give each other anyhow. Brother Wang has no political ambitions, does not know how to maneuver, and looks at problems from the perspective of ordinary people. Therefore, many of Fourteen's actions are too selfish and cold to accept in his opinion (Di Wang likes to recall childhood memories, explaining that Deep down, I miss that simple way of getting along). Fourteen has always regarded Brother Wang as an imaginary enemy. Even if Brother Wang himself has no intention of rebelling, who can guarantee that he will not be used as a spearman? Can't help it! Insert a piece of real history. Although Brother Wang is good at fighting, after the legacy war and the Franco-Dutch war, Shi Shi never let him go to the battlefield again. On the surface, he was worried about his safety, but he actually didn’t want him to go to war. Get more involved in politics. Power has become a knot in their hearts that will never be resolved. Brother Wang complains that the fourteenth does not trust him, and Fourteen complains that the younger brother does not understand his helplessness as a king. In the play, there are many portraits of the two of them when they were young. The two beautiful dolls are holding hands affectionately (Di Wang dressed as a girl, at first glance, there is a sense of wedding photos), quiet and happy. Although they still love each other deeply after they are adults, the pure intimacy is no longer to be found.
At the end of the first season, Brother Wang insisted on leaving. In the second season, is there any way for Fourteen to get him back?
