I'm enjoyed watching "Princess Agents"!
It's indeed a drama with many layers and complexities, from the intricate plot twists to the deep character development. The slow-burn romance, the well-executed fight scenes, and the portrayal of each character's pursuit of justice all contribute to the unique charm of the series. The main antagonist's power-hungry nature provides a stark contrast to the other characters, adding another layer of tension and intrigue.As for the novel version of "Princess Agents", you can find it on WebNovel. Here's the link to the novel: [Princess Agents on WebNovel](https://www.webnovel.com/book/princess-agents_10176031205004305)
The possibility of a second season, it's indeed a common concern among fans given the time that has passed since the first season. The age of the actors relative to their characters could pose a challenge if the series were to continue with the same cast. But let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for the best!
Remember, the beauty of stories lies in their ability to live on in our imaginations. So, even if there isn't a second season, the characters and their stories can continue to unfold in our minds. And the novel can provide additional material for that imaginative journey! ??

People either love or hate the ending , im probably in the minority and i really liked how the series ended, would love a secind series but can't see zhao liying, shawn dou or Lin Gengxin coming back as they are too well known now.

My basic rating...first off, the story was good. I did like it. I am usually not a huge fan of these major internal relationship struggles type shows but the story was good enough that I didn't think it was bothersome. Apparently, it is based on a novel series so if I ever find the audiobooks I might give it a try but the audio language may be too hard for me to understand, sadly. Secondly, the cast was great. I have watched some other dramas that some of these actors have main roles in so I knew they were good, just didn't know whether their chemistry in their acting would mesh with their roles. Sadly, I saw an article that a second season was announced to finish off the rest of the series, but the original cast might not be in it or at least the MCs will change actors. Changing actors half way is such an annoying thing, especially when the actors received so much positive feedback for their roles. But, you never know the situation might change...crossing my fingers, I find some announcement that disproves what news I've seen so far about the second season. Third, music...besides from the OP, I loved the in-show soundtrack and GEM's ED. I love GEM so when I heard the ED, I immediately fell in love with the song. Lastly, rewatch value...I would love to rewatch it, to find any quirks after I listen to the audiobooks if I find them. There are always different presentation quirks between medias. Personally, I rarely rewatch long seasons, anything over 30ish is too long for me to stay focus while rewatching.
I would definitely recommend this drama. But, I do have my complaints. I feel like the romance wasn't developed really well through the script. It is either my Chinese language skills that hindered my understanding or they just didn't really move the romance. The CPs had their moments but...It feels like you caught a fish but you can't reel it in and you're tugging back and forth. Then again, this season was apparently only one and half books in the series so it might just be that we're not there yet which is why they presented it this way. Secondly, the story didn't get good until the latter end of the drama in my opinion. It was good but still boring enough where I would want to fast forward in episodes in the middle so...there's that. Lastly, the ending is crap. They literally made the ending to foreshadow the second season which to me is advertising to keep the audience. But, then again, by the end of this season, everything is pretty much wrapped up, but the ending just leaves me feeling empty. I don't know. You'll have to watch it to understand what I mean. I'm kinda picky when it comes to endings.
Overall, I recommend this drama. It is the typical relationship struggles for power in politics, family, and love in a historical setting in palace politics and martial arts but the story is good enough to make you feel for each of the characters in the drama. You will feel for the protagonists and want to help kill the antagonists. WATCH IT ; )

Other than some great character plots the story pacing wasn't so smooth sailing, but thankfully many fun side characters made even some of the filler episodes interesting to watch.
If you like yourself a strong, young female lead who is ready to challenge herself and trying to achieve her dreams with some dark drama going on, with the occasional fun times lightening the mood, then this might be your series! Beware of the final episode though, it divides opinions. It was a bit messy in my opinion, and I'm going to skip the ending when rewatching.
Also it seems there is some trouble in the project for season 2, so we might or might not ever get it. The novel this series is based on has a slightly different story line, so if the season 2 doesn't get made at all, we'll never know how this show would've ended and it makes me so gloomy. I hope the director and the cast could work their differences out. At the very least, the director should apologise to the cast; one would think the promising sales alone would be enough reason if you're out to make money?

Good Story.
STORY:The story/plot was good for the most part. Legend of Chu Qiao was a amazing drama. I thought maybe they could have added an 59th episode because of the rush ending. It's like the producer was like "Maybe we should just end it here"
The ending was unexpected and surreal. He ended up dead? In the book, he was saved by his family so the book didn't have a bad ending if ya'll were wondering.
ACTING/CAST:
Chu Qiao/Xing'er became a strong female warrior through the teaching of Yu Wen Yue and her mother. She learned to trust/ love in the end. I can understand her attitude on life in many ways. On the other hand, Yu Wen Yue is cold, blank faced, and heartless to his servants and everyone around him until episode 40 and over. The things he did in the end was a different Yu Wen Yue that was changed by love. The two leads have had a lot of misunderstanding between each other and eventually solved them out. He ended up dying because of his love and Chu Qiao/Xing'er finally realized who to rely on and who didn't deserve her trust.
MUSIC:
The music was ok. It definitely wasn't my favorite.
RE-WATCH VALUE:
I would definitely re-watch this in my spare time. this drama is one of my favorites after all.

It starts off at good pace and the storytelling gets interesting until the second half. It paces so fast and we don’t know what happened to some minor characters. It looks like the director and team waste great potential with dragging episodes. It doesn’t have heavy romance moments until episode 44. I am so disappointed about the ending as it leaves open ending to the second season but it seems to be empty ending to me. I guess the novel is not finished after reading some people's comments, and I think the director wants to allow us to have our own imagination on how the story ends. I check and find out that it have yet to receive the second season this year. It is not necessary to have rushed ending and there are too many things left unanswered after the ending of the final episode. I really hope it will have second season with same characters next year. The main actress Zhao Li Yang is an awesome and beautiful, and she have an excellent job as acting. The main characters and few minor characters have a good job as controlling emotion in acting. Princess Agents is one of my favorite Chinese drama I’ve watched so far. I am most disappointed that we don’t get to see the full potential of Chu Qiao at all. Overall, it is very great drama and I fully enjoy it so far. I give it a 9 because of bad, empty ending, and the story is unfinished and ends on a cliffhanger in the final episode.

Just one of many ways to sell books
The cast, storyline, plot, act..all was great until you finish watch the last episode. Damn!Guess what will people do after last episode?
Search the novel in the net, may be buy it online just to see the ending. That's one of a hell to sell a novel.
I will remember the writer, and avoid watching drama base on her books :p
Zhao Liying eyes & expression are great as always.
Even supporting actress such as her sisters can easily get me involved emotionaly.
Most of the scenes are indoor, thats the only flaw in my opinion.
