Yeh in the novel of the double she dies and is reborn (I think), also the recent coroner's diary, in the novel she dies and is reborn, as I read the novel. They changed both and many others.

Yeh I probably forgot been ages haha. Honestly how they did it is not too bad. If you are ok with the change from the novel.

Not sure about the trailer but in ep 1, she is blind on a cliff and her brother sends his bodyguard to kill her. She is stabbed and falls off a cliff but survives thanks to the help of her master, and her blindness is healed. He helps her get a fake identity and she joins the army. And like above pointe out, banned probs not the right word, but you will see many cdramas based on novels of rebirth are re-written such as the double. This is because rebirth cdramas are frowned upon by the state body that regulated tv in china. So they are often re-written to not include rebirth

No problem

Thats true, don't think it's a full ban, just frowned upon by the state governing body so not many people do it to not get on their bad side, totally forgot about blossom though, good point

They were from 2011, Scarlet Heart and the palace: lock heart jade.

This is just my opinion, I think a lot of people (mostly novel readers including myself) went it into this thinking it would be a revolutionary, all time cdrama, it's not... yet. I don't like to judge too nearly, thats why I said not yet, there's lot to come. I think a lot of the budget also went into the fight scenes/war we know is coming. But are there plot holes? Yes. But for me at least, these few episodes were enjoyable. I like the chemistry the leads have, I find the FL cute, and enjoy the moments of humor. I'm the type of person that doesn't mind turning my brain off to watch a show, if thats not you, and the plot holes are too much for you thats ok. But for me, I found the first few episodes enjoyable. Was it what I expected based on the novel and trailers? Yes and no. Could be better, but also could be a lot worse. I'm looking forward to what comes next. Personally I like the fast pace, no filler. I found it entertaining and look forward to the relationship between ML and FL growing, and how the FL's brother will react. Plus also found Chu Zhao intriguing. Just my opinion though.

Being reborn in a cdrama is banned in china, so she wasn't reborn, they changed it slightly. Her brother tried to kill her but she survived.

No problem

No problem, same as me I always wondered why so I did some research ages ago when I was wondering, pretty interesting I reckon.

Just FYI for people asking why transmigration/reborn cdramas are banned. This was like 10+ years ago, but transmigration/rebirth dramas were banned because of two smash hits in the early 2010's that involved rebirth, leading to a women apparently committing suicide in the hopes of being reborn in china, thus they banned it out of fear of people potentially committing suicide hoping to be reborn as shown/glorified in cdramas. As for time travel it was banned because the state governing body over radio, film and television in china stated it distorted/disrespected Chinese history, and historical figures, and warned against making such films. Thus, to not get on the bad side of the governing body, these cdramas were not made as much anymore. This is all based on what happened in the early 2010's, not sure if there have been any recent changes or anything, but these were the original reasons why.

Only episode 5, 6 is not out till tomorrow. You can either buy episode 5 on the wetv app, or wait till it's uploaded to kisskh or another pirate site.

Yeh same, I feel like its an unnecessary discord thats gonna lead to some kind of argument or big misunderstanding (technically they already have a misunderstanding about it anyway), but I just don't want t be too quick to judge so see what happens. I'm also a bit worried. But I still have faith, the previews look like the pace is really fast, which I like, no filler or anything.

Won't lie, I really like the visuals and choreography for the fight scenes. You can tell this will be an action packed drama. However, I am to sure how I feel about implementing a grudge between Xiao Jue and He Yan when she was a general (her driving late to help). Not gonna judge it too early though, want to see where it goes but hopefully doesn't lead to any major misunderstanding and is cleared up cleanly. Probs leads to something bigger, her later arrival when she was general. Also enjoying the little bits of humor they added

One episode in and I already hate He Ru Fei, I can't wait for him to get humbled and hopefully he meets the same end as in the novel

sounds good would be nice to watch something a bit more emotionally weighted and always looking for a good modern drama, I’ll check it out once either this or IA ends

how’s sword and rose going? was going to watch that but then got caught up with IA and this and slipped my mind

Hahah yeh true, immortal ascension doesn't have much longer to go, I just want to finish up immortal ascension and wanted detective as moonlit reunion and possibly shadow love also begin soon.

Not gonna lie, this might just be me being twisted, but I really want them to include a proper scene of He Ru Wei getting ordered to be executed by the emperor and I remember he was meant to be decapitated and cut apart or something like that, can't remember exactly. Hope we get to see him fully realize he's painfully screwed.
