this one is really different! well worth watching. she plays a ghost who interacts with her spouse and it's both very touching (we learn about their own and common tragedies) and fun. kudos to the scriptwriters for a refreshing ideas and not the usual tropes this was at least 8.5/10👍

majority of the characters fl is scheming against are children. yes you are NOT mistaken. 6-13 year old kids at that time may have been more mature than what we see nowadays, but I absolutely abhore the idea shown in the novel.

tbh, in the grand Chinese tradition about 150 chapters after the first 200 were absolutely unnecessary. and the ending blah. but the beginning was good and I think drama will make it worthwhile. just be warned below

Almost finished the novel (ch 378) and OMG can't wait to see what they did with this. Esther is going to nail it!!! What a story.

But it was rather disappointing that is stopped in the middle of a mortal realm development in the story. Hopefully there's partm2 like with his recent drama of the woman who pretended to be a man. Thanks again. Off to park my vpn in east Asia again 😆

Works!!!!🥰👍

Will do!😉

thank you. I am using various locations with vpn but it still shows as not available, but I won't give up. maybe it will show up on yt😁

I love all the tricks and antics of Yan Zi Xian. And when director knows what s/he is doing, the effect is very much enjoyable like in Eternal Joy with You. Just started and hoping for another great watch💓

I agree. I like ml here but not her, I am dropping it.👍

Honestly, I am not vested in it. I am watching PA now with understanding they had to change the story because they did not purchase the adaptation rights, so I think I will put all of this on hold because it is not entertaining enough at this point

I had seen this trope morthat a dozen times in vd and mini dramas,o really looking forward to this!

oh yes. the disappointment group is strong and growing. I can see why it's difficult to be honest about this drama: there are too many factors contributing to it being poorly received. I for one like to compare the drama to the novel or previous production, but if this is the first thing watched then I would at least like to know what I am watching before deciding why it's not of interest. out of 5 things that I pay attention to (story/script, characters/acting, directing/editing, ost/CGI/cinematography, emotional/educational value) this is falling short on 3 already 😵‍💫🤦

in the way they remade some of PA and show it here in flashbacks. but the overall effect is rather underwhelming. big stars do not make a good drama. cinematography doesn't either.

and that in itself is a problem with this adaptation: it does not show sufficiently the whys of each character. a drama (stand-alone or not advertised as sequel or remake) should be either explicit in showing us the details of the past (flashbacks) or providing enogh on screen action that leads us toward understanding the characters. for someone who is not familiar with the novel or PA this could be frustrating. to me it means lazy directing and editing. 😑

rebirth will do it

hey anybody know where to find Nine Peach Heaven?

How I grieve Ester didn't get to play fl in Rebirth, but glad about this!!!

yea, I watched more than few dramas just to see what the child actress with 10 years of posing in front of the camera accomplished and I am rather disappointed. if she has talent, I don't seem to notice. her characters are played pretty much the same way. there are cute actresses that do the same in majority of the roles (Esther Yu, Yang Zi) but even Esther can deliver bone chilling performance when given a chance. this kid does not yet.

I really appreciate your comments, I had them when watching PA so much that I think I am going to read the novel before watching this. I agree on literally all points you make about the quality of writing this fl character through historical reality of such portrayal to the acting/suitability of the young actress and not a young looking actress who has lifetime experiences to back her embodying of two personas: the original transmigtator with her baggage plus the journey of the little girl who ended up a slave and then military commander. not sure yet how I feel about this but it looks awesome
