Glad to know that Zhuge Yue and Xing Er are each other's first and only love. Their confessions are cute.He Lian…
I don't see her as a greedy woman. Yan Xun is her political move. General Chen is her genuine feeling. She starts taking a lesson. I bet she will run away with the general, or die together.
I know the reviews aren’t great but I really liked the novel. are they following it?
I believe we can be more proactive to enjoy the story. We have the imagination to fill the gap between novel and drama. If you wish all things in the novel to be shown in the drama, it is not how the visual medium works.
The scriptwriters seem to have erased all the combat skills and killer instincts that Chu Qiao learned through…
Do you know? In early episodes, when FL is acting alone and showing her prowess, ML is nowhere to be seen. They are fighting in different locations. Viewers are complaining; they want to see more of the ML. Started the middle episodes: FL and ML are finally together and having teamwork moments to solve some issues. Viewers like you are still complaining. FL is a damsel in distress.
If you pay attention to the story, you'll see they are actually fighting hand in hand. At one moment, the ML is the weak one, so the FL does more. In another moment, the FL is in a weak position, so ML helps her. If you still don't like this balanced dynamic, enjoy other drama with Mary Sue FL, and the ML is just there for his handsomeness.
And regarding the power nerf, in my view, Rebirth moderates the power rather than nerfing it, making it more realistic. Princess Agents (2017) leans more on the wuxia genre, so we got things like inner power, power transfer, people defying gravity, etc. This choice is an adaptation of the IP novel, a transmigration story. In the novel, FL got her power because she is a person from the modern era. In PA, FL got her power from his mother through transfer.
In Rebirth, those wuxia elements are omitted. The only reason she is powerful is the training she has received since childhood in Qishan Manor. It is more realistic for the military and political genres. If they keep the wuxia elements, any battles involving soldiers would be a joke, and the FL would be highly plot-armored. So, any physical ability must have its limits, and the characters are subject to injury, sickness, and death.
