If you scroll down to CostumeHEA's comment, they answer this question
It's not yet known. CostumeHEA suggests that this drama might have "flash backs" to the action in PRINCESS AGENTS so everyone can watch it without watching PA. But it appears this drama covers the entire novel, thus you wouldn't need to watch PA. I hope this helps!
If it is an official account then the point is not to target Zhang Linghe, but to curtail the 'female general'…
Interesting. That's too bad. I was really enjoying these dramas. :-\ I was also thinking, ZYH doesn't look like he has much makeup on in these shots, but your explanation made everything clear. It's about downplaying women's roles, not about ZYH.
If we actually get a second collaboration with the main leads. What kind of plot would you guys want or expecting?…
I would settle for any kind of story as long as the script and director are just as good. :-) Although, it would be a lot of fun to see them in a modern drama!!
