the novel is from like 15 years ago and the tropes used are fairly standard these days (i don't think they were…
Hey did they change a lot in the novel? I only got through the first 20 chapters but I don't even remember the second prince...

I think this is the drama where AvenueX once mentioned..... before the whole princess/lowly maid.... climbing…
When I read she was looking Mr Right ML, I confess I half hoped she would reunite with Chang Chen who sizzled with her in Crouching Tiger. But I am so delighted she went with Zhou Yi Wei instead!!! He totally deserves this moment to shine.

Title The Rebel Princess Spoiler
Me too - I can't wait for them to get together. I think they look fantastic together!
I think shortly after episode 10.

Stunning cinematography, stunning costumes, great acting... this is an excellent start. I am craving for more…

DAMMIT! Now I want to know what's next. Yuan Hong is so hot, he appeared so little at the end of episode 8, that's…
9 and 10 are out, he is probably in both.

Surprisingly good, doesn't waste time on world building it just fills in the gaps along the way. Pace is good and am loving the set and visuals. Both leads are likeable but I am not sure about this harem thing.... its one of my least favourite tropes...

Zhou Yi Wei is the first convincing fierce general I have seen cast... not one of those too pretty dudes who obviously…
Sigh! Sadly these days those xiao bai lian 小白脸 flower boys are all the rage!!!

Oh of course... how could I have missed the delicious Bo Wang!!! He was an awesome general.

Well maybe you should watch Legend of Fei instead.
Well for all these dramas that kind of span a life time, the lead is going to be the wrong age at some point or another. As long as they don't linger too long on the teen years, I am ok with it. I think this one is fairly enjoyable so far although I agree she definitely doesn't look like a teen. I just don't single her out on that aspect because I have enjoyed many shows where the ML or FL is the "wrong age" at some point.

After a few episodes, I am actually enjoying the storyline. I have to admit this is a very interesting choice…
Zhou Yi Wei is the first convincing fierce general I have seen cast... not one of those too pretty dudes who obviously have never been in a war! Yeah!!!

Well maybe you should watch Legend of Fei instead.
Well pretty much all historical c-dramas seem to start at age 15 or 16 and they are casting increasingly older actors for lead roles - none of the leads were at all convincing as teenagers in Qin 4, The Wolf, LOF, Xiao Chuo, etc. and the endless number of ones with younger actors seem written for the adolescent market which is definitely not me. Doesn't leave many watch options if you rule out dramas just based on that.
I also dropped LOF but not bc of ZLY. I just thought it was another And the Winner is Love with too much talking. Yap yap yap.

6 episodes in so far, the cinematography looks decent. War scenes are just average, just looks too smoky and not…

I'm equally confused. So to google for info on it, I've gotta use ode to shangyang rebel princess monarch industry...…
I just think for some one so feisty like her something along the Maleficent horns would be more appropriate than those matronly bun braids....

LMAO, at least she doesn't have Princess Leia braids... so far anyway...

Its still 上阳赋 on my Youku but China Zone and Viki are both calling it Rebel Princess in English.
I think they are going for a title that emphasises that it is a story about the FL, Wang Xuan. All the other titles suggest a broader meaning. I like Ode to Shangyang personally and Monarch Industry is also decent but I can see how Rebel Princess is more "sexy" to more Westernized audiences.

wait wait what's with this new name, what's wrong with ode to shangyang? she's not a rebel princess XD

So nice, you get to enjoy first! sony_t and I will just have to patiently wait ☹️
Heheh and you can ping me also... but I doubt you need much help, it is not like Advisors Alliance or Royal Nirvana etc that has many literary and other allusions and metaphors. Its actually a fairly straightforward story from what I can tell of the first 20 or so episodes of the novel that I read.

Fingers crossed Viki will be at most a week behind. Actually the level of language is not that difficult or heavily classical if you have some basic understanding you should be able to follow well enough.

Wow I just love the visuals... this is such a gorgeous production. And the opening lines at least retain the feel of the narrator's voice in the novel... I am gonna love this.
