From the very first moment, I could tell it wasn’t just about telling history—it was about making you feel it in your bones. The story starts with young Shaka, this boy who carries both pride and pain. You can sense that he’s different from the other children, not just because of his sharpness but because he carries the burden of rejection. His mother, Nandi, is everything in those early moments. The way she shields him, stands tall for him even when the odds are stacked against them—it had me tight in the chest. There’s something so raw about the bond between mother and son here, and I couldn’t stop thinking about how that kind of fierce love shapes someone.

As Shaka gets bigger, the series doesn't rush him along. You have every humiliation, every sneer from those who don't believe him, and each time I felt myself tensing as if I was the one being tested. The scenes in which he's derided for being illegitimate hit hard, because you know that someone can be either destroyed or invincible by the pain of it. And Shaka? He chooses the latter. There's this fire inside of him, and you can tell he's slowly learning how to use his wounds as weapons.

The fight scenes are different. There's one in which the young and underestimated Shaka shocks everyone with his military genius. The choreography, the rhythm of the warriors' movements, the fury and the art of the fight was more than just action; it was art. I literally got goosebumps as I watched him notice strategies that other people did not. And then when he showed those new fighting techniques that he was teaching by the shorter spear instead of the long throwing spear- I literally sat up. I kept thinking, "This is it... this is where it all changes." But it wasn't just a scene, it was history bending before my eyes.

But what I really remembered were the quieter, vulnerable moments. Like Shaka's struggle with his identity and sense of belonging. The look on his eyes, the weight of the destiny on his shoulders-in that moment I thought of how many great people must walk in the loneliness of their greatness before anyone takes notice of their worth. And my God Nandi's relationship with him. Every time they showed a scene it brought tears to my eyes. She believed in him even before anyone else wanted to, and it reminded me how sometimes one person's faith can help you through storms.

The twists come hard and fast too. There’s betrayal, unexpected alliances, even shocking losses. I won’t lie, some of those deaths hurt. When people he trusted turned on him, I felt it deep—it’s that reminder that greatness often demands heartbreak as sacrifice. And the final showdown? Whew. Shaka standing tall, not just as a man but as a leader, commanding loyalty, proving every doubter wrong. The way he carried himself, with both pride and scars on display—it wasn’t just triumphant, it was almost spiritual. I felt my chest tighten like I was watching the birth of something much bigger than a king, more like the spirit of a people coming alive.

Shaka iLembe left me emotional, proud, and strangely introspective. I kept asking myself: if pain could forge someone like Shaka, what could my own struggles be shaping in me?

Hola amigos || Hello friends

La verdad luego de ver Ozark y tan increíble historia y producción, tenía miedo de ver algo que no cubriera esas expectativas como público y sinceramente, esta no me dejo tan indignado pues costa con grandes escenas y una historia bastante completa más allá de estar llena de psicopatía extrema e impunidad sin límite, les aseguro que cada uno de los 10 capítulos de esta primera temporada no nos dejará levantarnos de la silla. Bueno, al menos que sea a buscar algo más que comer y refrescarse con una gaseosa. Así que bueno está de más en decirles que esta producción ha sido llevada adelante por genios de la pantalla grande.

The truth is that after watching Ozark and such an incredible story and production, I was afraid to watch something that wouldn't meet those expectations as an audience member, and honestly, this one didn't leave me so indignant because it has great scenes and a fairly complete story beyond being full of extreme psychopathy and unlimited impunity. I assure you that each of the 10 episodes of this first season will keep us glued to our seats. Well, unless it's to get something else to eat and refresh yourself with a soda. So, needless to say, this production has been carried out by geniuses of the big screen.

En mi opinión y bastante humilde, lo que ha diferenciado esta serie de otras del genero ha sido el gran trabajo de los actores elevando aún más la experiencia del televidente. Cada uno de los actores poseen personalidades marcadísimas y distintivas. No son personajes planos, más bien todo lo contrario, están imbuidos de una profundidad y matices logrando conectar con la audiencia de una manera increíblemente estupenda. Como si fueran personajes reales y complejos. Ya sea por sus motivaciones, sus conflictos internos o sus interacciones, cada figura en MobLand deja una huella palpable donde sin querer queriendo nos involucramos emocionalmente en sus destinos.

In my humble opinion, what has set this series apart from others in the genre has been the actors' great work, which has further enhanced the viewer's experience. Each of the actors has a very distinct and distinctive personality. They are not flat characters, quite the contrary, they are imbued with depth and nuance, managing to connect with the audience in an incredibly wonderful way. It's as if they were real, complex characters. Whether through their motivations, internal conflicts, or interactions, each figure in MobLand leaves a palpable mark, and we find ourselves emotionally invested in their fates.

En la serie encontramos momentos con bastante suspenso, intriga, minutos policiales, persecuciones y todo en medio de una trama inteligente y bien urdida con sus giros y sin duda con una gran calidad en sus actuaciones y no es para esperarse menos con el gran reparto que tiene considero que es un anillo al dedo. Realmente excepcional.

The series features moments of suspense, intrigue, police chases, and everything in between, all within an intelligent and well-crafted plot with twists and turns and, without a doubt, high-quality performances. With such a great cast, which I consider to be a perfect fit, it's no surprise that the series is truly exceptional.

Con un gran elenco actoral que nos recrea una trama que como dije, está bastante gastada pero con las maravillosas actuaciones de cada uno de los presentes dejan un buen sabor en nuestro paladar tanto que deseo ver la segunda temporada y espero no me decepcionen y que sigan con ese toque fresco y contemporáneo. Espero con ansias otra temporada.

With a great cast that recreates a plot that, as I said, is quite worn out, but with the wonderful performances of each of the actors, they leave a good taste in our mouths, so much so that I want to see the second season and I hope they don't disappoint me and that they continue with that fresh and contemporary touch. I look forward to another season.

Hi guys, how are you all? Hope many of you are well. Friends, I was thinking of watching this movie for a long time because this movie is an adventure type, so I had a different curiosity towards this movie. This movie was released quite a few days ago, quite a few months ago. This film was released in May 2025. Since then, I have been thinking of watching it, but due to time or because there are many movies on my wish list, this movie have not been seen. Finally, I saw the movie and thought to share something about this movie with my friends.

It is shown at the beginning of the movie, the main character of this movie means that the hero of this movie is rock climbing, which means he is trying to climb the mountain by himself. At one stage, he can reach the top of the mountain; basically, his effort is because he will go to Mount Everest, and he aims to reach the top of Mount Everest. So he was practicing in his country. This is how the movie starts. In the beginning, the director presents the character of the hero in a very general way. The beginning is pretty good for me.

Most of the movie is set in Nepal; you can say that 95% of the shooting was done in Nepal. The director tried to give quite a lot of suspense, but I think he should have done a little more because I didn't get as much suspense from this movie as I expected. Since it is an adventure-type movie. And adventure-type movies are very exciting, compared to that, this movie has less suspense or thriller, or action. Still, I will say that there are quite a lot of action scenes in this movie.

Hola mi gente buenos dias, espero tengan un lindo dia para todos. Aqui la ediciòn del dia de hoy.

La otra es una telenovela venezolana emitida por Venevisión en 1973, basada en una radionovela cubana de Carmen Arteche. Protagonizada por Rebeca González y José Bardina, contó con una participación antagónica destacada de Claudia Islas. A pesar de no haber sido de las más populares de la década, quedó en el recuerdo por su atmósfera melancólica y algunos momentos emblemáticos como una escena de incendio en un hospital.

-Título: La Otra. -Canal: Venevisión. -Año de emisión: 1973. -Basada en: Radionovela por Carmen Arteche. -Protagonistas: Rebeca González como Mariela Flores, José Bardina como Fernando Duval, Claudia Islas como Alba Duval (antagonista). -Elenco adicional relevante: Francisco Ferrari, Martha Lancaste, Ivonne Attas, Enrique Alzugaray, Humberto García, Eva Blanco, Soledad Rojas, Esther Plaza, entre otros.

Hello movie-lovers / Bonjour les cinéphiles,

(First of all, sorry for my English, my mother-language is French. I have used a translating-app to help me out.)

I was waiting for it and it finally arrives on Netflix this 28th. august 2025.

This is a movie, adapted from the eponymous novel, written by Richard Osman, in the style of a "British" detective comedy, lasting 1 hour 58 minutes, which is a bit reminiscent of Agatha Christie's.

Je l'attendais avec impatience et il est arrivé sur Netflix, ce 28 août 2025.

Il s'agit d'un film, adapté du roman éponyme, écrit par Richard Osman, dans le style comédie policière "british", d'une durée d'1h58, qui fait un peu penser à de l'Agatha Christie.

Synopsis :

In a charming residence for wealthy seniors called Coopers Chase, three of them have formed a club.

They meet every Thursday to try to solve old unsolved and closed cases.

Dans une jolie résidence pour seniors aisés, du nom de Coopers Chase, 3 d'entre eux ont formé un club.

Ils se réunissent tous les jeudis pour tenter de résoudre de vieilles enquêtes non-élucidées et classées sans suite.

There were originally four of them, but one of them is in a coma. They're deep in thought in the "puzzle room" when a newcomer visits the residence, guided by the manager, and comes face to face with the club, but isn't shocked by the photo she sees on the table.

Au départ, ils étaient 4, mais l'une d'entre eux est dans le coma. Ils sont en pleine réflexion dans la "salle des puzzles", quand une nouvelle arrivante visite la résidence, guidée par la responsable des lieux et tombe nez à nez, avec ce club, mais sans être choquée par la photo qu'elle voit sur la table.

The residence is likely to be resold soon, and several deaths are accelerating this possibility.

Our Thursday club has its work cut out for it, especially since the local police don't seem very smart.

La résidence risque d'être revendue prochainement et certains décès accélèrent cette possibilité.

Notre club du jeudi a du pain sur la planche, surtout que la police locale n'a pas l'air très dégourdie.

My appreciation and little informations / Mon avis et petites infos :

We had a great time, I was not disappointed.

Nous avons passé un très bon moment, je n'ai pas été déçue.

A great line-up of actors : Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie, Tom Ellis, David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Naomi Ackie, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, ..

Une belle brochette d'acteurs : Helen Mirren, Ben Kingsley, Pierce Brosnan, Celia Imrie, Tom Ellis, David Tennant, Jonathan Pryce, Naomi Ackie, Henry Lloyd-Hughes, ..

Directing is none other than Chris Columbus, already known for directing Gremlins, Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone, Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets, The Goonies, Mrs. Doubtfire, Home Alone, Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief, in short, a big name.

A la réalisation, rien de moins que Chris Columbus, déjà connu pour avoir réalisé les Gremlins, Harry Potter et l'Ecole de Sorciers, Harry Potter et la Chambre des Secrets, Les Goonies, Madame Doubtfire, Maman j'ai raté l'avion, Percy Jackson et le Voleur de Foudre, .. bref, une grosse pointure.

It was well-directed; we could guess some things, but not all. There was no downtime.

This film confirms that we are not all equal when it comes to health and life in general. A sharp mind can be trained, and relationships can be nurtured!

C'était bien mené, on pouvait deviner certaines choses, mais pas toutes. Il n'y avait pas de temps mort.

Ce film nous confirme que nous ne sommes pas tous égaux devant la santé et la vie en général. La vivacité de l'esprit, cela s'entraîne et les relations, cela s'entretient !

Have you seen this movie yet? Did you like it?

I gladly recommend it!

Avez-vous déjà vu ce film ? Vous a-t-il plu ?

Je vous le conseille avec plaisir !

Hide and Q (S01E10)

Airdate: November 23rd 1987

Written by: C. J. Holland & Gene Roddenberry Directed by: Cliff Bolle

Running Time: 46 minutes

The inaugural season of Star Trek: The Next Generation remains one of the most contentious periods in the franchise's history, much-maligned by both fans and critics for its uneven quality and creative missteps. The series suffered considerably during its early episodes as Gene Roddenberry and his production team grappled with the monumental task of reviving Star Trek for a new generation while simultaneously distancing it from the original series' shadow. While the creative team struggled to identify precisely what wasn't working with their new iteration, they possessed an intuitive understanding of what elements were functioning effectively. Chief among these strengths was the introduction of Q, the enigmatic, god-like entity first encountered in the two-part pilot Encounter at Farpoint. This character would evolve into one of Star Trek's most enduring and recognisable icons, appearing across multiple series and becoming a cornerstone of the franchise's mythology. His first reappearance occurred in the first season's tenth episode, Hide and Q, which, while flawed, demonstrated the character's immediate potential to elevate the series beyond its early growing pains.

The narrative of Hide and Q commences with the USS Enterprise-D en route to the Quadra Sigma colony to provide medical assistance following a catastrophic methane explosion. This humanitarian mission is abruptly interrupted by Q's unannounced arrival aboard the ship. The omnipotent being insists the crew participate in a "game" to be conducted on the surface of an unnamed Class M planet. Captain Picard remains aboard the Enterprise while Commander Riker leads an away team that encounters bizarre aliens dressed in Napoleonic-era military uniforms—a creative choice that appears both whimsical and somewhat incongruous with the episode's purported seriousness. Q explains his fascination with humanity and proposes a test to determine whether humans might eventually evolve to the level of the Q Continuum. The central challenge involves Q bestowing his god-like powers upon Riker, with the stipulation that if Riker accepts, Picard must relinquish command of the Enterprise. The moral dilemma intensifies when Riker's newly acquired powers could restore life to a young colonist girl killed in the methane disaster. Despite this profound temptation, Riker, demonstrating unwavering loyalty to both Picard and Starfleet principles, refuses the offer. His discomfort with the situation is palpable, and Picard, seeking to push the test to its logical conclusion, summons his senior officers and offers them the opportunity to request anything through Riker's newfound abilities. Each officer declines, effectively passing Q's test, after which Q appears to be summoned away by other members of the Q Continuum.

The episode was written by Maurice Hurley, a writer who, despite his close relationship with Roddenberry and significant influence during the series' first two seasons, reportedly grew increasingly dissatisfied with Roddenberry's rewrites of his script. This tension culminated in Hurley demanding to be credited under the pen name "C. J. Holland" for this very episode—a telling indicator of the creative friction that characterised TNG's tumultuous early development. This behind-the-scenes discord is somewhat reflected in the episode's uneven execution, which struggles to balance philosophical depth with narrative coherence.

From a structural perspective, Hide and Q cannot claim originality, as it heavily borrows from the classic Original Series episode The Squire of Gothos, featuring Trelane, a character with striking similarities to Q. Both Hurley and Roddenberry appear to have attempted elevating the concept beyond its TOS predecessor by framing it as a more profound examination of human morality and potential. Unfortunately, these efforts largely manifest as a simplistic morality play that fails to challenge the audience's expectations. Thanks to the episodic nature of 1980s television, viewers had little reason to doubt the Enterprise crew would ultimately pass Q's test and return to their regular adventures—a narrative safety net that significantly diminishes the episode's dramatic tension.

One of the episode's more interesting creative decisions involves shifting focus from Picard to Riker as Q's primary subject of examination. This choice makes narrative sense, as Riker had already been established as a more active, Kirk-like Starfleet officer compared to Picard's contemplative nature, making him a seemingly more compelling candidate for Q's temptation. Jonathan Frakes delivers a commendable performance, subtly conveying the internal conflict Riker experiences when confronted with near-omnipotent power. His nuanced portrayal captures the character's discomfort with the situation while hinting at the seductive nature of such power—a complexity that elevates what might otherwise have been a one-dimensional test of loyalty.

Nevertheless, the script suffers from several serious logical inconsistencies that undermine its thematic ambitions. The most glaring issue stems from Q's established omnipotence—when dealing with an entity capable of manipulating space and time at will, the stakes feel inherently artificial. The absence of certain characters, particularly Deanna Troi, feels conspicuous and highlights the episode's narrative contrivances. Feminist critics might reasonably object to Tasha Yar's reduction to a weeping figure after being sent to Q's "penalty box," requiring Picard's comforting embrace—a portrayal that diminishes her established competence as security chief. Furthermore, when Riker offers to grant wishes, his offer extends exclusively to male members of Picard's staff, with both Yar and Dr. Crusher notably absent from these scenes, reinforcing problematic gender dynamics.

The episode was competently directed by Cliff Bole, though the Class M planet where most of the action unfolds appears suspiciously like a recycled set from The Original Series era. Some creative choices border on the bizarre, particularly the decision to dress alien entities in Earth's Napoleonic military uniforms—a visual anachronism that serves little narrative purpose. One memorable, if ultimately superfluous, moment occurs when Q impersonates Data in a manner reminiscent of a horror film jump scare—a stylistic choice that, while visually striking, contributes little to the episode's thematic development.

The scenes where Riker offers his crewmates their heart's desires prove particularly underwhelming. While William A. Wallece delivers a respectable performance as an adult version of Wesley Crusher, stuntwoman Faith Minton is burdened with grotesque prosthetics and poor choreography in her portrayal of Worf's Klingon mate—a sequence that feels more comical than meaningful. This highlights another recurring issue with early TNG: the series' inconsistent approach to special effects and makeup, which often undermined otherwise thoughtful concepts.

An unexpectedly dark element permeates Hide and Q, marking it as somewhat groundbreaking for 1980s broadcast television. It features the first onscreen child death in TNG—a rarity for network television of the era. During the planetary "game," Wesley Crusher suffers an explicitly gory impalement by an alien bayonet, a shocking moment that, despite his immediate resurrection by Riker, reportedly resonated with viewers who had grown weary of the character. Some fans have interpreted this sequence as a form of subconscious fan service to those who had developed antipathy toward Wesley by this point in the series.

What ultimately elevates Hide and Q beyond its numerous flaws is John de Lancie's masterful performance as Q. From the moment he first appeared in Encounter at Farpoint, de Lancie imbued the character with a unique blend of cosmic menace and playful charm that Roddenberry initially resisted—reportedly instructing de Lancie to tone down the humour. Fortunately, de Lancie persisted with his interpretation, understanding that Q's appeal lay precisely in this duality. His scenes with Patrick Stewart's Picard represent the episode's strongest moments, particularly when Stewart, drawing on his extensive Shakespearean background, quotes the Bard with appropriate gravitas. De Lancie's ability to match Stewart's theatricality while maintaining Q's otherworldly detachment creates a dynamic that would become central to TNG's most memorable episodes.

In retrospect, Hide and Q serves as a crucial stepping stone in The Next Generation's evolution. While imperfect and derivative, it successfully establishes Q as more than a one-off gimmick, demonstrating the character's potential to serve as both antagonist and philosophical provocateur. The episode's weaknesses—predictable plot, logical inconsistencies, and uneven character moments—reflect the series' broader growing pains during its first season. Yet its strengths, particularly de Lancie's charismatic performance and the intriguing moral questions it raises about power and responsibility, point toward the more sophisticated storytelling that would characterise TNG's later seasons. Ultimately, Hide and Q represents a transitional moment in Star Trek history—a flawed but necessary experiment that helped define one of the franchise's most enduring characters while simultaneously demonstrating the creative team's growing understanding of what made their new series work.

Hello blog friends, how are you? I'm still feeling a bit flu-y, but it's getting better because I have to run several errands today and was planning a trip to Montecatini, a town I might eventually move to if all goes well. Anyway, this flu-ridden weekend I took advantage of watching a TV series that really amazed me. I'm a huge fan of historical dramas, and I've had this series on my watchlist for a long time, so I practically finished it in two days, and now I'm eagerly awaiting the new season. Much has been said and read about Empress Sissi; there are films, books, and series, some lighthearted, others, like this series, with more dramatic overtones. The story begins as a tale of tormented love, where young Sissi, or Elizabeth, a rebellious and restless girl, falls in love with the Emperor of Austria, her sister's betrothed. This creates great tension in both families, but the marriage is arranged for love and not convenience. But Sissi's arrival at the Austrian court is not easy, she is not used to the rules and the rigidity of the court ladies and the written and unwritten laws put her to the test, she must prepare herself to be a worthy empress and this requires harsh discipline and many people around ready to judge and criticize every move she makes.

Hola amigos del blog, ¿qué tal? Todavía tengo un poco de gripe, pero estoy mejorando porque tengo que hacer varios recados hoy y estaba planeando un viaje a Montecatini, un pueblo al que podría mudarme si todo va bien. En fin, este fin de semana con gripe aproveché para ver una serie que me fascinó. Soy un gran aficionado a los dramas históricos, y esta serie la tenía en mi lista de pendientes desde hace mucho tiempo, así que prácticamente la terminé en dos días, y ahora estoy deseando que llegue la nueva temporada. Mucho se ha dicho y leído sobre la emperatriz Sissi; hay películas, libros y series, algunas alegres, otras, como esta, con tintes más dramáticos. La historia comienza como un relato de amor atormentado, donde la joven Sissi, o Isabel, una joven rebelde e inquieta, se enamora del emperador de Austria, el prometido de su hermana. Esto crea mucha tensión en ambas familias, pero el matrimonio se arregla por amor, no por conveniencia. Pero la llegada de Sissi a la corte austriaca no es fácil, ella no está acostumbrada a las reglas y la rigidez de las damas de la corte y las leyes escritas y no escritas la ponen a prueba, debe prepararse para ser una digna emperatriz y esto requiere una férrea disciplina y mucha gente alrededor dispuesta a juzgar y criticar cada movimiento que realiza.

Sissi will soon realize that life with the emperor isn't all romance, sunshine, and sunshine, but rather a series of commitments, rules, and impositions. Sissi struggles to adapt to the customs of court, but her love for the emperor remains unwavering despite the difficulties. Meanwhile, the people are discontented, the empire is divided, and regions are clamoring for independence. Being empress is not easy, but Sissi has one great virtue: she doesn't turn away if she sees injustice. She is genuinely interested in the lives and problems of the people. She quickly becomes beloved and popular among the citizens for her kindness, her commitment to the lower classes, and her reassuring presence. Although this character will cause her to make friends at court, fortunately she always has her faithful ladies-in-waiting with her, but even among them there are secrets, betrayals, disagreements, and strange incidents. But Sissi's life will not be only beautiful, the empire is in trouble and losing power, the arrival of a male heir is vital but nature does not always cooperate with the needs of an empire and various tragedies will strike the empress's life.

Sissi pronto comprenderá que la vida con el emperador no es solo romance y sol, sino una serie de compromisos, reglas e imposiciones. Sissi lucha por adaptarse a las costumbres de la corte, pero su amor por el emperador se mantiene inquebrantable a pesar de las dificultades. Mientras tanto, el pueblo está descontento, el imperio está dividido y las regiones claman por la independencia. Ser emperatriz no es fácil, pero Sissi tiene una gran virtud: no se da la vuelta si ve injusticia. Se interesa genuinamente por la vida y los problemas del pueblo. Rápidamente se hace querida y popular entre los ciudadanos por su amabilidad, su compromiso con las clases bajas y su presencia tranquilizadora. Aunque este personaje le hará hacer amigos en la corte, afortunadamente siempre cuenta con sus fieles damas de compañía, pero incluso entre ellas hay secretos, traiciones, desacuerdos e incidentes extraños. Pero la vida de Sissi no será sólo hermosa, el imperio está en problemas y pierde poder, la llegada de un heredero varón es vital pero la naturaleza no siempre coopera con las necesidades de un imperio y varias tragedias golpearán la vida de la emperatriz.

In my opinion, this series is one of the most well-made European historical dramas of recent years. The photography is magnificent, every scene blends delicacy and beauty, and the plot perfectly interweaves political intrigue, romance, drama, and happiness. Each character is well-characterized and multifaceted; none of them are perfect, and their daily lives are described in great detail, detailing life and customs at court at the time, with all the problems faced by both rulers and the common people. I find it an excellent historical insight, perfect for engaging even the most reluctant readers with a passion for this historical period. For me, besides being beautiful and fascinating, it was also very educational. In fact, piqued my curiosity, I ordered several books about this empress from the library today. If you love historical dramas, you absolutely must see it; you can find it on Netflix. There are two seasons so far, and the third will be released soon!

En mi opinión, esta serie es uno de los dramas históricos europeos mejor logrados de los últimos años. La fotografía es magnífica, cada escena combina delicadeza y belleza, y la trama entrelaza a la perfección intriga política, romance, drama y felicidad. Cada personaje está bien caracterizado y es multifacético; ninguno es perfecto, y su vida cotidiana se describe con gran detalle, detallando la vida y las costumbres de la corte en aquella época, con todos los problemas que enfrentaban tanto los gobernantes como el pueblo llano. Me parece una excelente perspectiva histórica, perfecta para cautivar incluso a los lectores más reticentes con pasión por este período histórico. Para mí, además de ser hermosa y fascinante, también fue muy educativa. De hecho, despertó mi curiosidad, y hoy pedí varios libros sobre esta emperatriz en la biblioteca. Si te gustan los dramas históricos, no te la puedes perder; la puedes encontrar en Netflix. ¡Hay dos temporadas hasta ahora y la tercera se estrenará pronto!

‎**I like the story, there is something that grabs you, and although it seems very mysterious it ends up being very common, in fact it was disappointing to know that there was nothing mystical behind it, We talk about women dealing with past traumas and trying to improve their lives**

‎Una que solo busca dejar todo lo que le hizo daño atrás y subir de estatus "para sentirse mejor" y otra que solo quiere unir a su familia.

‎**One who just wants to leave everything that hurt her behind and raise her status "to feel better," and the other who just wants to reunite her family** ‎ ‎Es es una historia que no quisiera recomendar, porque quedas inconcluso, decepcionado y vacío al terminarla.

‎This is a story I wouldn't recommend, because you're left feeling unfinished, disappointed, and empty after finishing it ‎ ‎Y así culminó mi post de hoy, espero verlos prontos con una peli buenisimaaa par ustedes! Ls envío un abrazo!

‎**And so my post concludes today. I hope to see you soon with a really good movie for you! Sending you a hug!** ‎ ‎Gracias a todos por leerme, les envío un abrazo❤️
