Princess JieYou Episode 1 to 11 Summary (Brief)

I totally feel for the people missing out on this awesome drama. I haven’t had the chance to finish this drama yet because I’ve been doing too much recapping and I had just wanted to leisurely enjoy this without any interruptions but I got a request to recap it and I got influenced. Heh. It’s by far the best Cdrama of all the Cdramas this year. Show, don’t make me eat my own words later. The story is written out in history already but it’s the process of how JieYou gets from point A to point B that is so satisfying to watch. Zhang Xin Yi, the actress playing JieYou is a goddess. I don’t know why she’s not in more dramas but because of this drama, her and the actor playing Weng Gui, Justin Yuan, took their on-stage chemistry off-stage too. These two are dating in real life, which explains why their chemistry in the drama is through the roof. These two aren't afraid of any body contact. It's indisputable that Zhang Xin Yi is beautiful to stare at but Yuan Justin has never looked so fine on my screen before. He looks awfully good with facial and curly hair. 

I don’t have enough time to recap this fully. Even this is only a very brief summary of the overall storyline. Episodes 1 – 4 were amazing to watch and I didn’t mind going through them again to translate scenes that made me giddy. I hope some subbing team will pick this up for you guys. I don’t know, maybe try begging on every drama site for subs? xP. This summary does no justice to this drama; there are so many tiny moments that enhances this drama’s worth that my simple summary cannot capture. Even if I were to go as far to explain every detail, I still don’t think it’d be good enough. Plus, this drama is just so pretty to watch. It'd be a waste just to read about it.
