This site is turning into the equivalent of jeuxvideo.com, with its clickbait articles written by a single person for a niche audience—someone who probably didn’t see what they wanted to see—in an overly formulaic style.
No matter the TV network or SVOD service, as long as the trope of the strict parent and the toxic partner continues to resonate with the general public and serves as a convenient shortcut for writers—and as long as the series performs well with its target audience—it’s unfortunately not going to change anytime soon.
Honestly, I guess for the actress who played the president, if your role boils down to being the ultra-cliché villain with no character development, you’ve got to work and make a living, but still, they could have written it better.
So, aside from the visual quality and the actress duo, I have to admit that, for now, I’m personally quite disappointed—it’s the 789th GL version with the classic “rivals-turned-lovers” trope. I’ll keep watching the series and the genre, but I wish the writers would at least make an effort. The series was filmed “recently,” so knowing there are way too many similar storylines doesn’t detract from the overall quality of the series, but it’s a point that has sometimes made me lose interest in the show.
Well, subtlety isn't exactly this series' strong suit, lol. It looks pretty good, though—except for the male lead, who's a total cliché, even for a drama.
For me, it’ll probably be the episode guide focused on Chu Qiao in Rebirth. Princess Agents started to drag a bit after a while—it would’ve been nice to have a few fewer filler episodes—and judging by the trailers for Rebirth, it’ll probably be the same.
You can tell that the writers have bills to pay too and need to make a living, so they have to produce quickly while maintaining a script quality that matches the length of the episodes lol
As many have said, yeah, you'll have to watch episodes 2 and 3 to start getting a real idea.
The first one is like a big 23-minute trailer, which gave me the impression that it won't be a pure anthology, but more of a mix centered on Nanno and not really the schools. We'll see if that's just an impression in the next few episodes.
Revenge series with a sister are always fun, but I must admit that the 100 episodes and the classic flaws that go with them really put me off. I'll wait for the complete series with the guide to the important episodes.
But I had a question before we start: will the four series be connected? Or is it just a big marketing ploy to cast well-known actresses as four sisters from the same family, each with their own separate story? (Just so I know whether to commit to an independent quadrilogy or not.)
