a VERY strong start but a mid ending
Okay so I have to say that the first 2 episodes were GOLD, it was the right amount of clichés with the right amount of twists to make them really interesting.However, it seems like the screenwriters didn't know what to do with the script which is a shame because it really had the potential to be great. The miscommunication trope about the fake marriage lasted too long and whhile it was fun to see the ML loosing his mind at first, it became cruel after a certain point. And don't get me started on the last few miscommunication, they were completely illogical and went against all the character development of the first half.
However, my rating is 7,5/10 because the chemistry was there and I still found myself giggling several times during cute scenes.
I would still recommend it just be aware that the last few episodes WILL make you roll your eyes.

Don't pay attention to the negative reviews, and give this a try !
I don't often write reviews but I feel like this drama receives a ton of criticism and I honestly don't understand why.The acting, the production, the storyline, it is honestly a banger and while I was a bit confused at the beginning, after episode 3 or 4 I was ALL in.
The plot isn't complicated, you just have to pay attention and maybe we are all getting a bit too used to very straightforward plots without any twists but I really enjoyed Rebirth because it was non linear and full of surprises. There were a lot of characters and storylines but I really liked that, it was never boring! Often I feel like 40 episodes drama have filler episodes but it's not the case at all, in fact I wished some of the latter episodes were a bit longer because there was definitely other things to explore (I'm going to keep the review spoiler-free but I wanted more information on the different kingdoms after the big battle).
I loved Lin Yunrui's interpretation of Zhuge Yue, he was restrained but emoting so well at the same time that even with a slight change of expression, we could understand the character. He really is an amazing actor!
I also really loved Zhang Kang Le's interpretion of Yan Xun, he was probably the most interesting character to me because his character develops a lot during the show. This actor is very very promising and I cannot wait to see what he does next!
Finally Huangyang Tian Tian's acting was also quite good, my only complaint is that she's a bit too young to depict a general, even with the styling and the makeup, she looked liked a child is some scenes. But her acting is impressive and I hope that last year's earring scandal won't ruin her career because she has a ton of potential.
Music wise, the show was amazing, I found myself listening to the soundtrack A TON while watching the show!
So, please, if you're intrigued by the show, WATCH THIS, don't even look at the MDL average note !!
