The title is not suitable

One drama that the title really does not describe the story at all. This is the first time I think the title is really far away from what is inside the story. Maybe this drama is supposed to exchange titles with One & Only. Although One & Only & Forever & Ever is really a rhyming title, One & Only more suits this one & rebirth for you really suited for forever & ever from the story side.

I really confuse with the English title of this drama. Rebirth for you, but the story none at all about reincarnation. How can you give rebirth to the title... If you just translate the native title 慕南枝, is more likely to be yearn for something maybe more fit with the story. Because yeah this drama about everything yearning for something, there is character yearning for love (almost obsess even), Qing Tai yearning for power, Li family yearn for clarification about injustice assassination their clan years ago. See... everything about yearning for something.

I haven't for a very long time hated one, let alone some particular character like this one. This drama has 3 stupid people that don't want to let go their love obsessions' & 1 person really be quite delusional too. I really want to slap all the character below to just wake them up. Here they are:
* Gao Miao Rong: She is really one thorn in the flesh for Li Family. In the end she was quite pitiful too.. When she already gives up she must be dragged back to the place where you can say center of the storm for her life. But thanks to the love from Li Lin in the end she still make a right decision. Yeah sometimes people said, to heal the love wound what you need is a new love is just so true.
* Han Tong Xin (the empress): She wants the emperor for herself. But as we all know, emperor never only belong to 1 woman. Yeah a little bit pity actually as her, at the end she has to witness her love died in the arms of her love rival. If only she find about the emperor love sooner maybe the story will gonna be a little bit different for her.
* Zhao Xiao (ZX): maybe among them all the most pitiful but also quite delusional is ZX. His situation reminds me of one particular word from Qin Yue from forever love when he confesses to Xia Lin Xi, "The most painful thing is not having never had it, but for almost being able to make it." Yeah, ZX situation really fit this sentence, he was almost together with Jiang Bao Ning (BN) but never got a chance in the end. But that doesn't make everything what he do in the name of love right, just like BN said, "I don't know if your love is true love or just being stubborn & selfish." Only blind person can't see the love between BN & Li Qian (LQ). But unfortunatelly the problem for ZX is the question of 'what if...' still always hanging in the air...

What I like:
+ I really like all the interaction between the couple here. Jiang Bao Ning (BN) & Li Qian (LQ), Li Dong Zhi & Qing An, even Dong Shan Hu (SH) & Jin Xiao (JX). Unfortunately the interaction between SH & JX is not so often in this drama.
+ Grand Empress Dowager is very cute grandma. Happy to see the actress Cao Cui Fen is still quite healthy to play in the drama.
+ LQ's step mom really one good step mom & quite funny actually in a way. Her interaction with LQ's dad also quite funny.

What a little bit out of place, or could be better in another way:
- The scene after LQ 'kidnap' BN from Qing Tai & having fight scene in the front of BN room. It just so weird BN didn't come out to see all the commotion, even maybe she just see what Bai Su & her husband brought from Grand Empress Dowager, if that me & I hear all the commotion, most probably my love one being beat up by my cousin, I will gonna come out & at least yell for them to stop. And after that what LQ said to ZX is simply just so sweet, if there's the scene where BN hear what he said, isn't it gonna be better...
- Several of the scheme in the drama sometimes just so confusing, not enough explanation in the drama.
- How BN as a princess to be said not getting enough nutrition when she was little (explanation by the monk when BN got potion from the arrow). She is a princess and grow up in the palace, where all the best nutrition stored, doesn't that mean she should be get the best nutrition ever possible... BN also not an outcast princess who can't get the nutrition she needed, even before she enter the palace, she's also not just random orphan girl who can't get food. See doesn't make sense....

Overall this is quite good drama that can suck me from the very first episode. Even though this drama turn out to be more than 45 min, the usual min for c-drama world, usually I often quite bored with longer duration, but I really enjoy this & not find this drama boring,
