Good for you if that (express) is true. But I am patient enough to watch it episode by episode. There are things to digest slowly, to write a final review.

7 more episodes to go.

Yes, until the very end of PA, CQ is still saying that she only remembers little. And Mr. Wu said, her mark would only appear in a very cold environment.

Li Yunrui's character, Zhuge Yue.

Yes, it is.

They remove this plot device from Rebirth. The past she can remember is that she is an orphan, not knowing her parents. Since childhood she lives in Qingshan Manor with her siblings and is trained in martial arts to become a spy. That simple.

General Cheng, you mean? It is because he loves Yanbei, and wants Yanxun to focus on his role as a king and do his duty to avange their loss to Dayong. Yanxun is relentless about pursuing CQ, and this is distracting his focus. General Cheng worries that if YX comes together with CQ and under her influence, he would become a pacifist and forget to revenge. That is why he wants CQ to die, or leave Yanbei/ Yanxun.

Whoa, you are still here! Superb! Your devotion makes us, fans, turn pale!

Well thought!

That is a natural response. But managing expectation, opening your mind to new development, and adapting yourself to change are the keys to enjoy life and stories. The existence of Rebirth is better than nothing to watch after PA at all.

Yes, years ago when I was too heart broken by PA cliffhanger.

I just feel richer right know. I enjoy the novel, I enjoy PA, and I enjoy Rebirth! I am no longer hanged on the brink of that cliff.

Does your mother own MDL, too? So you can spread hate as you wish? Someone here like and enjoy this show and she shared her view and her joy, but you responded her with your awful comment.

I don't mind if you share your mind with those with similar mind with you. You can create your own forum for that, to butcher and destroy this show into pieces. But, to respond someone's expression of love with your hate is not good.

You watch with half eye closed. Perhaps, you don't pay enough attention to the story at all. So what kind of warning can you deliver to potential viewers?

That is not a problem. Why do you thing a drama should follow the novel?

Trailers are just bait. The story can be really different from what inferred from trailers alone.

I watched Princess Agents and I am very okay and happy with Rebirth.

I love how they changed the characterization of the emperor. In PA, he is weak, sick, and manipulated. A coward emperor. But in Rebirth, he has charisma that makes he is more fearsome. In PA, the 13th Prince is just a 7 years old boy. Now, he is a spoiled teenager.

I love your thought! Resonate with me.

Yes! Li Ce is that womanizer prince of Liang in PA.

I don't remember Xiao Zi Feng. Is he minor character?

This drama writes the villains very well. I see them like a very huge mountain that prevent the main characters to reach their goal. They do horrible and crazy things, and eventually die in a horrible and painful way.

These villains' characterization are better portrayed here that the ones I saw in, for example, Pursuit of Jade (the crazy prince) and even The Double (Wanning, the crazy princess). Generally, I don't like the crazy type villains who do things out of psychopathy. They are too dark, and most viewer usually love gray characters. However, in Rebirth, we got the complete explanation, the extreme stressful life events behind their personalities.

This darkness is the anti-thesis of our FL and ML's dreams. They dreams to create a land free of slavery, oppression, war, and fear (the very reason why those villains exist). They are living in this dystopian world, and they are breaking through it to bring light for the people and stop the vicious cycle.

So in theme, Rebirth is very strong. The overall story moves around this core theme consistently, diligently, carefully. And thanks to the well-crafted villains, our heroes shine more brightly. The story is incredibly solid, all parts tight together meaningfully.
