PA was an unlicensed adaptation of the novel, but Rebirth is an adaptation of the novel by the novelist herself,…
The novel Queen of No. 11 Agent (11处特工皇妃), which Princess Agents is based on, was found guilty of plagiarism in a 2018–2020 legal battle against author Xiao Ruse. It was proven that the author, Xiao Xiang Dong Er, copied significant plot lines and character details from the novel Novoland: Pearl Eclipse and others.
The show was affected by the plagiarism scandal hence no season 2 with the original cast and production team.
I didn't watch PA but did read the summary. Can someone explain what Zhuge Yu did for Chu Qiao go back to his…
Although they were on opposite sides of the war, Zhuge Yue showed up and helped Chu Qiao whenever she needed help or was in a tricky situation. Their relationship shifted from master/slave or teacher/student to an equal friendship.
On the other hand, the relationship between Chu Qiao and Yan Xun had started going down once they escaped the capital. Yan Xun kept hiding what he was doing or gaslighting Chu Qiao since he knew she would not approve or argue with him. They also kind of stopped communicating.
Yan Xun found out that Chu Qiao kept meeting Zhuge Yu and was afraid he would lose her. He used the affection he knew Zhuge Yue had for Chu Qiao to lure him into a trap, making it seem that she was in mortal danger. She found out and told Yan Xun that she would never forgive him for using her loyalty to him and Zhuge Yue's feelings towards her and that his method of getting rid of his rival was foul and disgraceful.
I'm sure this drama doesn’t have any kissing scenes or intense romantic scenes because HYTT was 17/18 while…
Times were different, the standards were different. I hope for both the main leads' sakes that the director has steered clear of physical intimacy that might be viewed as problematic.
In the original novel, she transmigrated as a 27-year-old army woman from the special forces into a 10-year-old.…
No, I don't think so. There haven't been any hints up until now. I'm wondering if they will pick up the Princess Agents explanation of how she came to possess her martial arts abilities or if they will find a new logic for this "sequel".
Depending on what you like, some of us consider a significant number of recent C-dramas (anything after 2010)…
In the original novel, she transmigrated as a 27-year-old army woman from the special forces into a 10-year-old. Hence the battle knowledge and strategic thinking. In Princess Agents, she was trained since childhood by her mother, who was a leader of a spy network. During a fight after her mother was killed, she was injured, fell into the water and was found by human traffickers. When she woke up, she had amnesia and was a slave.
The context in which she became a general is also important: she together with a very small army defended one of the cities from Yanbei against all odds and managed to hold the fort until the main forces came back. Afterwards, she became the general of that small army of defenders.
I have a question. Can someone tell how old is Yan zheng/XZ in the drama because I think Changyu is 19 yrs old.…
I saw this comment from MariaB earlier in this section "Regarding the ages of the leads in the drama... this is what happens when you age people up and do not update the chronology of the plot. We know the FL is 18 at the start of the drama, that the massacre happened 16 y ago and that the ML was 5 when his mom commited suicide ( I hope I am not misremembering it, a rewatch will clear this part up). That would mean that FL's parents fled with her as an infant, which doesn't make sense when you factor in the conversation on NYE between FL's dad and Gen He when they decide the name of the baby just and also the alternate universe where ML is 5ish and FL was not born yet. In the novel, FL is 16, ML is 20.
Same thing happened in LLTG, the same screenwriter changed the circumstance under which the FL's mom went to war - in the book FL was 3, the war lasted approx 10 years, when the parents get home she's 14. However, in the drama FL's mom left after giving birth and they came back when FL was 15. From that point on, the characters would either say the war had been ongoing for 10 (like in the book) or 15 years (new timeline for drama), to the confusion of those at home who are trying to keep up with the chronology of the story."
This is it... 😭 The final day... I'm going to binge the final 5 episodes later today and cry all night that…
I'm going back into cdrama history to watch Story Of Minglan for the first time. But that's for next Monday. This weekend is reserved for PoJ rewatch marathon 😁
