I haven't watched Princess Agents since I heard that one is unfinished. Should I watch that one before this? Is…
Spare your time to watch at least the first and the last 5 episodes of Princess Agents. You will understand many things that would help you watch Rebirth. It is free on Youtube.
This drama gets better with each episode, it’s full of action.The characters that annoy me are Chun Er, the…
Watch the latest episode; there is a reason why Yan Xun accepted a concubine so easily. To save his face. And, for his obsession, it is pretty understandable, given his experience through blood and fire with Chu Qiao. If I were him, I wouldn't let go of my comrade, my best friend, and beloved one that easily.
I don’t really know what to say, his character in the first 19 episodes is pretty pointless.He doesn’t do…
Yan Xun's character development has ended. His trait and goal are sealed in the Icy Lake incident. No more room for development. What remains to be seen in the next episodes is the result of his choices. And, it will be his downfall.
Chun'er is very annoying. I find it hard to sympathize with her.
I think this Chun'er is an alternate version of Chun'er. In my view, in Princess Agents, her character was depicted as having closure, accepting her ill fate, and moving on. Her character matures through failure and bitterness. Here, she still has a grudge, and her story remains open to an unknown ending.
Storywise, it is unbelievable that, after that heavy fall from grace, she would instantly and easily regain power. Also, her madness is too explosive, more like a childish tantrum. She just lost the charm of a fallen princess. She has every reason to stay away from palace politics, but the story draws her into another vicious cycle. This type of character rarely gets redemption. She will end badly.
It is not bad. People are just divided into 3 camps.
1. Have watched Princess Agents, but disappointed by the fact that the old casts do not resume the roles. They complain about the casts a lot, not the story.
2. Haven't watched Princess Agents and treat Rebirth as a stand alone project. They are confused because Rebirth is actually a continuation of PA. They just don't get what the story really is, and expect it is a romance with LYR as main lead like in Blossom. They complain everything.
3. Haven't watched PA and waited for its continuation. They enjoy Rebirth.
The 7+ rating comes from those who complain and feel disappointment. It is better for you to understand the why behind the rating. It is not the story and production that bad. People just are different in their experience, expectation, and enjoyment. 3.
“What if princess agent is an idol drama?” I might say this was a thought from one of the producers.Some might…
You just rewatch and enjoy PA then. You don't have to know what will happen after the Icy Lake. I personally won't miss Rebirth. I am so curious about the final.
The story has multiple POVs. Every episode covers at least one scene about each important character. It is not a highly character-driven drama like POJ.
In these early episodes of Rebirth (up to episode 7), many viewers are still struggling to accept the show. There’s a lot of distrust toward the cast, the production, the story—everything. Expectations are clearly high. But honestly, the comparisons and criticisms are normal. There’s a nine-year gap since Princess Agents; it is almost a decade. Many viewers now are younger or new, or they’ve forgotten the original story, or have been influenced by other popular dramas they believe have “set a higher bar,” whatever that means.
The early disappointment is understandable. They simply don’t have the same memory, background, or nostalgia from when Princess Agents was at its peak. They didn’t feel the heartbreak of watching Yue and Xing repeatedly separated, or the longing for a continuation and the promised happy ending. They didn’t experience that lingering feeling of being left hanging for years at that cliff in the Icy Lake. And so, they may not share the same patience or the satisfaction of finally seeing the story continue.
For those of us who genuinely care about the Princess Agents/ Rebirth story, it’s not wise to argue with viewers who see things differently. People come with different experiences, and those experiences shape how they judge the show. In the end, the drama itself will prove whether it deserves our love or criticism, and we still have many episodes ahead. Princess Agents once proved that it carries depth in its themes and storytelling. I believe Rebirth will offer that same kind of value.
