The story and writing have been excellently executed. The nightmares Ye Li had at the beginning, when we first met her, were already interesting and a unique way to start the drama. But knowing all we know now, it was heartbreaking to know what Ye Li had been through.
The setup was both subtle and obvious to some from the first five episodes with Lishan and Qingshuang. It honestly added to the mystery of Ye Li's story, and we finally get the payoff in episode 30 when Mo Xiuyao confronts Li Feibai. MXY will finally learn what we, as the audience, already know, and in episode 31, it will be his turn to help Ye Li heal.
It is very poetic that he will be at Lishan to help her through this, mirroring how she entered his life at Ding Manor.
I think score of 6 for this drama is way too low for its quality!I watched Princess Agents when it first came…
Because it fail greatly on Chu Qiao characterization and story. She remains the same character she was in PA... which is not how it's supposed to be.
Which again is not the fault of Rebirth, but making it almost a standalone drama kinda ruined the continuity of Chu Qiao Story.
If you're curious what I mean by Chu Qiao's story, I mean her journey in the novel. I know it is an adaptation, but unlike other adaptations, what happens in PA and Rebirth follows the novel very closely, minus the ice power in PA and voodoo magic in Rebirth
Maybe I've been watching TOO many C-Drama, watching this reminds me of all the K-Drama tropes that make a K-Drama a K-Drama, but it's also makes it endearing 😂
11 episodes in, and while things are still largely a mystery, the story has been very well written so far, particularly in how it has developed Ye Li into a surprisingly complex character.
One of the biggest mysteries is Lishan Academy. Something clearly happened there, and Ye Li is not letting on.
Almost anyone other than Ye Li, when talking about Lishan Academy, reacts with shock or disbelief when they hear her say that things are "fine" there.
Coupled with her behavior and apparent "mental issues," this has created a unique character whose motives remain unclear, aside from the obvious goal of seeking revenge for Lishan Academy.
We're also heavily hinted that Ye Li is behind many of the events happening, but we're never outright told which ones. Episode 11, for example, basically hinted that Ye Li was Master Zhu. Cutting up the snake, and the real Master Zhu was never there.
Does Ye Li have a split personality that comes out to protect her in life-or-death situations? Maybe it's a personality that developed from past trauma. That could explain some of her behavior, her "mental illness," and how she's able to accomplish some of these feats.
Another thing that has been set up is Lishan Academy's involvement in the death of Mo Xiu Yao's brother.
Her being in danger is also a good way to write the ML's motivation for getting his leg fixed, especially since a few episodes earlier he had refused to do so.
lol at this rate you should just read the novel 🤣🤣Yan Lai characterization has like that throughout most…
I don't quite remember, cause Liang Qiang exists in both the old and new timelines.
In the novel's old timeline, he and his family were the reason CZ met her end. His younger sister became Xiao Xun's new empress, and that ultimately doomed her.
But in the new timeline, CZ saves him during the war, and he now owes her a favor

The drama actually did him the best out of everyone including Chu Zhao, to cater to the people that really need CPs in their drama.
When she talking to Senior Fei Bai in episode 5, just look at his reaction.
it clearly show you something is wrong with Ye Li, and if anything it should tell you she an unreliable narrator.
