I never saw a ’first season’ or a prequel or whatever. I started watching with a fres eye, slightley irritated with all the nowadays fashionable nagging. 5 eps in … And gues what… I like it and enjoying it. Untill now it keeps me captivated!

I’ve really been enjoying the Rebirth Chinese drama so far. The story has been engaging, with a good balance of action, emotion, and character development. Each episode keeps me interested, and I find myself looking forward to what happens next.
The performances of the cast, especially Chu Qiao and Zhuge Yue, have been impressive. Their journey, growth, and connection make the drama even more meaningful and enjoyable to watch.
I’m really hoping the drama continues to stay strong until the very end—keeping the same level of excitement, storytelling, and emotional impact. I’m excited to see how everything unfolds and how their story will conclude.
Overall, it’s been a great watch so far, and I’m looking forward to the rest of the episodes!

I dont know how to react to your comment

I've just started Rebitrh bc of the controversy I've seen around it on Twitter. I'm 10min in and it's just clear this drama is really well made. Just its dubbing is miles better than a lot of the most popular costume dramas released this year. It's very unfortunate the production dropped the ball with the marketing and casting of the female lead. Also I just finished Princess Agents bc I wanted to see that adaptation of the story and beyond its production quality that drama had such an iconic female lead actress!

My, the story moves so fast, I like it! They execute event after event quiet well, though I wish they would slow down for a minute. 😅

This drama is highly underrated.

I love the way it's difficult to predict what's going to happen.

Totally agree, we are free to our own joy and decision. Douban, others, etc does not have the right to decide for us what’s good to watch and not.

This is the Chinese “Game of Thrones” and no character is sacred to be saved. truly different from other montononous Chinese dramas. the tension is killing emotionally but the realities are awesome. episode 23 I thought was a dream only to wake up to reality.

i don't mind about FL's age. it is that she still looks like a child. some actress look older than their age, she isn't one of them. more like the reverse.
only upside is to give closure to princess agent.

Ok I was out for work the whole week and haven’t seen the series nor comments here. Starting again to watch as of episode 14. I’m surprised it is still
Low rating here and even more surprised about the Douban rating. So far I always had respect for that one, but after this I won’t care anymore and - as many of you here - just watch and make up my own mind and rate (or not) the drama for its own value (yes, personal opinion and valuation).
To me it is still very good and should be a platform for furthering the career of many of these young hard working actors (male or female).
Anyway, see u later!

Regarding episodes 18 and 19:
What kind of episodes were those? Everything happened so suddenly. My Wanning was once again dealing with a painful past. Zhan Zi Yu was truly loyal to the Empress, he loved her... I don't blame Chun Er for her current state at all; she's been through so much, after all, I love her. Also, Prince of luo is a character I'm really curious about; I'm curious about his behavior in the upcoming episodes. He really embraced Chun Er. I have no words for Yan Xun, that schizophrenic guy. I loved the duo of Cheng Yuan and He Lian Lin. Everyone's acting was really good; there weren't any weak performances. The series is going well

He did pursue her one more time after the lake incident, but he didn't meet her directly. He sends his army to basically kill all the remnants of her army and the group led by the couple who greatly helped him and the fl before. He then corners the fl and her army and wants to use the citizens' lives to force her to go back to him. After that Zhuge Yue appears for the first time after the lake incident and helps the fl. That's when he stops trying to force the fl back and focus on his ambitions.

I'm also pretty he did grow affection for his empress/one of the concubines that has also been with him from when he was younger. There's an entire chapter about her after her death that I skimmed through.

*These aren't really spoilers for the drama because it has went a completely different direction from the novel

The drama keeps getting better with each episode, and I’m really enjoying every moment of it. The story, action, and emotions are all coming together so well.
Chun'er can be incredibly irritating at times, but that just shows how effective the acting is. The portrayal is so convincing that you can really feel that sense of frustration and tension whenever the character appears. At the same time, I actually like the scenes with Li Yan—they have a good dynamic and could make an interesting couple.
Each episode delivers something exciting, especially the moments where the male and female leads save each other. Those scenes never get old. Even their small gestures feel meaningful and romantic, especially whenever they meet—it’s subtle, but full of emotion. I also love the lines the female lead says to the male lead, like “Zhuge Yue, stay with me.” It’s simple but very touching.
The martial arts scenes are amazing—full of action, intensity, and skill. The mix of politics and battle makes the story even more engaging. Yan Xun’s obsession with Chu Qiao adds another layer to the drama, and his acting is really strong and convincing.
The Black Eagle moments were also very memorable—they added a unique and powerful element to the story. And of course, I really love the tandem of the main leads. Zhuge Yue is so handsome, with excellent swordsmanship and impressive martial arts skills. Meanwhile, Chu Qiao is not only beautiful but also incredibly talented. Even as a young actress, she delivers such a strong performance. Her sword fighting and archery skills are truly outstanding.
One of the most touching scenes for me was when they showed respect to the fallen warriors of the Xuili Army. It was emotional and beautifully done, especially with the theme song playing in the background—it made the moment even more powerful and unforgettable.
Overall, the drama continues to impress me with every episode. I’m really looking forward to what happens next!

Like so many others, Princess Agents was one of my favourite Cdramas, it was SO GOOD, great story, stellar Leads and cast and I loved everything about it, so I lowered my expectations for Rebirth as I didn't want to be unfair in my judgement by comparing it to Princess Agents. I have watched 8 episodes so far and I am enjoying it and appreciating the new Leads and story without comparing them to the original. I am a huge fan of Li Yun Rui and ABSOLUTELY LOVED him in Blossom and was very happy that he was cast in this role so that was added incentive to watch it as I knew he would be great in the role.

I think the female lead is doing a pretty good job as she is so young and has great potential and I really like her. With regards to her age she is a good 10 years younger in this show than the female lead (Zhao Li Ying) was when she starred in Princess Agents, so she had all that experience to bring to the role and she was phenomenal as was Lin Geng Xin as the ML and their pairing in Princess Agents was a match made in heaven and I also ABSOLUTELY LOVED them together in The Legend of Shen Li.

Sequels can be hit and miss, but for me I am enjoying Rebirth without comparing to the original because it would be impossible for any sequel and actors to compare, as Princess Agents and the cast was just so damn good. That said, I really like the ML & FL in Rebirth and they are going a great job with what they have been given and I am looking forward to watching the rest of the show and also following Huangyang Tian Tian's promising career,

The fl huangyang tian tian is absolutely nailing her role. I expected good performance from her but not very good since she is so young and cast with older actors. But she proved me wrong and is acing her role.
