Not exactly true, for quite a while she tried to make herself useful to Tegin, and saved him and the division many times over. That’s how she got Ashina’s loyalty.

I understand your point of view, but I find her way of dealing with this not in character. The whole conversation with Khatun for example is so OOC on both sides.

I found the whole ark ridiculous tbh

Perhaps it wasn’t important in the drama, but in the manhua she promised complete loyalty. Loads of her actions in eps 19-21 were a betrayal of that promise. I know people don’t really care about stuff like that, but for me it’s important.

Nope, the attack on Chang’an ark. She didn’t betray him to others, but certainly his trust. In the manhua, just the idea that her schemes could’ve got him hurt, brought her to tears. Her actions in eps 19-21 are pretty strange in that regard. Well the plot is changed entirely, so really I shouldn’t add anything more.

Agreed, the manhua creator is not involved at all as far as I know.

I never said I did though. Why are you being like this? Just enjoy the drama once it airs out and don’t be like this towards others. I’m trying to make polite conversation, but you’re making it very hard. I’ll stop here, this is going nowhere.

I actually know a lot about Chinese history, I’ve read it all from start till now because I really enjoy it...

Manhua ChangGe would never betray Ashina Sun, just saying...

Yeah, I gathered that too. It’s unfortunate that instead of a debate everything is being taken as a personal attack /sigh

We love our country too, you just keep mixing up loving a country, and loving a party regime, because I’ve been talking about the latter. But let’s agree to disagree, you obviously don’t understand or you don’t want to understand my point of view. I wish you the best. Cheers

Hmmm, actually I’m not from the west. I come from an Ex-Soviet country. So yeah... I’m not saying you can’t be patriotic, but surely some actors didn’t feel the need to be in that film but were advised otherwise. It’s happened in my country, with same governmental regime. You’re being a bit naive if you think that’s not possible.

I was very sad and surprised to hear about the divorce news especially because you’ve been on vacation with FXF just 2 months ago and had dinner together this month, but I guess spending so many months apart for filming can take its toll on a couple. I wish you a lot of happiness and may your baby grow up healthy. Love you, Zhao LiYing!

Unfortunately... I truly hope one day we’ll get to see the end of the manhua /cries

Exactly, AS and CG were amazing in the manhua, but the drama is still pretty good.

Just like you, I hold the manhua very dear to my heart. I’ve been following it for almost 7-8 years now, and was very excited about the drama adaptation.

CG was mostly kept true to character, but AS has been changed personality-wise (about 40% I’d say). I’m disappointed with it, but the plot is still interesting and they’ve included quite a few arcs of the manhua, so I find it enjoyable nonetheless.

Do give it a go, just don’t expect to see a like for like depiction of the manhua, because it’ll just feel frustrating to a certain extent. The acting is nice and the cinematography is good too. They’ve even included animated manhua depictions like the ones we got in 2015-16 of the Chang Ge Xing “anime”. Enjoy!

I’ve seen loads of people mention the two strands of hair, and I just don’t understand how hard can it be to google the manhua and see that Chang Ge has this hairstyle in the manhua so obviously they styled drama Chang Ge the same way. The way she dresses also follows the manhua.

What I found more amazing is that they didn’t need to add Chang Ge’s (very important) birth mark/ under eye beauty spot because Dilireba has got it already, naturally! How awesome is that?!

Well, currently that’s just rumours, and indeed most people agree that Princess Agents without Zhao LiYing isn’t Princess Agents anymore... we’ll see how it goes or if it even happens.

I love that drama. Everybody is waiting for part 2, but I heard that Zhao LiYing will not be in the sequel. She’s literally my reason for watching it... /sigh

They said they would, it’s currently in pre-production apparently.

I am really hoping that Wang YiBo will be Xie Jing Xing because he perfectly matches the novel description, but his studio said that he hasn’t been cast (at least not yet?), so there’s still a small sliver of hope.
