I haven’t started to watch this drama, but it seems so depressing !—I am questioning whether I should even try. From the description it seems like there are horrible things that happened to someone in their school years, but how could you justify growing up and taking it out on an innocent child, just because the parents deserve punishment? It’s not moral.
Love this drama! Can’t stop watching—I’ve lost count of how many times. Great actors, storyline and music. It’s all there. A must watch—and the second half is even better than the first. if you’re looking for something to watch, try it now. Enjoy. 👍
IDK—this drama seems like kind of a mess and over rated from reading all the comments here. I watched the first episode and was really not impressed. There are some cute characters, but I personally do not care for shows about pushy mothers expecting their children to overachieve just so they can make themselves look better in society. And all of the teenage suicide stuff is just too sad and depressing. I am probably going to skip this one.
I totally agree. Zhou Yi Wei is an amazing actor. I loved “Tribes and Empires” (so creative annd intense) and also “Longest Day In Chang’an!” I have rewatched both. I don’t think they did justice to him in “The Rebel Princess.” He was the lead actor, but that role was not dynamic enough for his talents.
I loved this drama so much! I really like historical dramas and this is one I can never forget. I think it’s time to rewatch again. It’s the type that keeps you on the edge of your seat every second and you can’t wait for the next episode. If you’re on the fence, don’t be — you should go watch it right now. 👍 I Highly recommend it! 10+
I watched this drama “The Rebel Princess” mainly because of Zhou Xi Wei and the high rating (which I think is somewhat over rated.) Zhou Xi Wei is the male lead, but they should have given him a much more dynamic role—like in “Tribes and Empires”. He was so amazing in T&E and the cinematography in that was breathtaking! I just can’t forget that drama—It was so creative and dynamic! But back to this drama, “The Rebel Princess,” the storyline was good, but it really did drag at times and the music was so slow. The leads were not together that much, and there was too much other stuff going on to focus on their story. It was very long, which I usually don’t mind, especially for a historical drama (which I love), but I don’t think I could watch it again. It was worth it for one time . (I have watched “Tribes and Empires” many times and would love a sequel. )
I am enjoying this drama but I think a younger FL would have been better.
I think it’s pretty impossible for a 40-year old to pull off being a 15-year old in appearance. She seemed very pale and gaunt throughout the drama. I never thought of her as a vibrant person at any point, even though I know she was portrayed to be overall in bad health throughout.
Loved every episode of this drama “Jun Jiu Ling.” Never a dull moment with an excellent story line. The actors were perfect! I will watch this again very soon and recommend to others. I rated this 10/10—I would rate it higher if I could.
I’m not sure how I missed this since 2017? it is way underrated! It hasn’t showed up in front of me until Netflix just now. I think maybe the name, “Revolutionary Love,” was not that descriptive. It was not just a rom-com although I laughed all the way through. I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed this drama and the ending was good. I liked all the actors, especially the main character (the CEO’s 2nd son)—Byun Hyuk (Choi Siwon)! I will recommend this to my friends and definitely watch it again. And the theme of big business being honest and taking responsibility in this world was right on! I rated this 9 out of 10.
I have just started this drama, “Revolutionary Love.” it seems pretty cute and definitely is holding my attention, but I am sad to read some of the negative comments below. I was hoping for some thing really good all the way to the end. Oh well?!
One question I have is whether anyone else got the impression of Choi Siwon reminding them of Robin Williams? They may have added some of RW’s gestures on purpose, but I was definitely reminded of him! :)
I really like the actors in this drama. And even though the story is a bit predictable, I could be okay with it. But it is sooo slow. It’s driving me crazy! I am in the middle of episode eight and trying really hard not to drop it but I just don’t think I can keep going until episode 16. The background music is sooo slow and everything is so drawn out. It’s putting me to sleep. I am actually sorry, because I really wanted to watch this drama. Take care.
Hope Elena Ahn returns as Nunbyeol for the new season and has more screen time as well. I personally like SSK…
The original leads will never be replaced in my mind. If you can’t get the original actors, then just create a different drama and bypass all this controversy, because you know, people are going to want the original cast— especially if it has been successful.
It’s all there. A must watch—and the second half is even better than the first. if you’re looking for something to watch, try it now. Enjoy. 👍

It is what it is. But you can’t force people to forget a favorite cast after the love and imagination has developed.
