I actually think the weakest actor was Zhuge Yue here. The original actor always had an air or arrogance/intelligence. I also like how he always looked a bit annoyed with Chu Qiao, yet he loved her. This new Zhuge Yue is way too soft and he has that sad puppy look and lacks charisma. He always has the same look.

Chu Qiao here I realized was 16 in real life so I feel she did her best for a young actor.

Yan Xun worked the hardest in terms of acting but he strays too far from the original Yan Xun. He seems a little crazy in Rebirth and possessive. The original Yan Xun wanted revenge but he was still psychologically sound and proud. This Yan Xun seems overly emotional and quite unlikable and pitable in the way he goes after Chu Qiao.

Overall though, I don't think it's that bad. It is still ok to watch. I would give it a 7.8 lol

LinCe I think did a good job

Wow you are rude. Is something wrong with you? Read up the definition of a psychopath please. Admin alert, please remove this user.

I highly suggest watching the last episode of PA - it was so good. They changed the details of the ice scene. I like the original better. For those who didn't watch PA, you might enjoy watching just EP 58 of PA for comparison.

Also ep 24-25 is when Yan Xun's family is massacred. It's really heart-breaking but for those who want to see what happened, and how a super happy bubbly Yan Xun became the current, dark Yan Xun, these two episodes really explain it all.

Yes! Or at least watch these episodes.

No she didn't like both men and she didn't realize her feelings for Yuwen Yue till late in the drama. However, he was always there to protect her. She sided with Yan Xun because of how much he suffered and the injustice he endured. She wanted regime change and she detested the current empire so she wanted to help Yan Xun to conquer Yan Bei so he can establish peace. But Yan Xun changed and became a lot more savage after the massacre of his family, which the FL didn't expect. At the end of season 1, Yan Xun used Yuwen Yue's love for Chu Qiao to lure him to kill him. In Rebirth, they changed the last scene. I liked the PA version a lot more, you can just watch Ep 58. The FL battles against a lot of soldiers to try to save Yu wen Yue. The scene is also imo more heartbreaking in PA when she realized she caused his ambush. You should just watch ep 58 of PA :)

Yes continuation. PA changed the name from the novel, I guess to make it more original but Rebirth reverted back to following the novel names

PA was so good. I rewatched it again before Rebirth came out. Although it is a bit aged, you will get use to it lol.

I am fine with the new FL and ML but why did they make Yan Xun's hair so bad? The initial Yan Xun had such nice braided hair. This dude looks like a savage from the stone ages lol.

In the novel, his name is Zhuge Yue, but they changed that in Part 1. Part 2 which is Rebirth follows the novel more closely apparently.

Thanks! I feel better it wasn't me missing such an important piece of info lol

This might be a dumb question but I seemed to have missed the part (can't seem to find it), why the ML has to rent a small place and not live at his own residence. Was this every explained?

That's what I am wondering, the rules and regulations must be different there. I feel if it's illegal, the Chinese government wouldn't allow the drama to be aired.

Sometimes people get away with relatives esp with a different last name but treating an immediate family member is an absolute no no here.

One more thing to add, in Ontario, TCM doctors are regulated and have to follow the same rules as doctors and nurses. It must be different in other countries.

In terms of this drama, I wasn't thinking into that much depth but I was surprised it's based on a practitioner falling in love with a patient which is illegal here so I am having trouble digesting it but I want to watch ZLH haha. The other examples like boss dating a coworker isn't technically illegal. My question originally that I wanted an answer for was, is this legal in China because the government is so strict reviewing all the dramas. They don't like BL dramas and other things, so the fact they let this drama air, does it mean in China it is legal to date a patient?

I looked it up, so any licensed health practitioner is prohibited by law from having any sort of romantic relationship with their patient. Even if the doctor-patient relationship is terminated, it has to be at least a year before they can have a romantic relationship. The law says "it is unethical and a violation of professional conduct to engage in a romantic relationship". Obviously it has to be reported but imagine a doctor dates a patient, they have a bad break-up, the patient can report the doctor and "that doctor would most likely receive disciplinary action including the suspension or revocation of their license." Of course this can happen in real life I know and unless it's reported, no one would know but all licensed practitioners have to swear under oath/sign an oath they will abide all the rules and regulations set out so it is a misconduct whether caught or not.

I am curious now, are these all acceptable in China?

Yes they lose their license. Doctors can't even treat their own spouse, child or family members and doctors are strongly advised not to have a relationship with their patients in any way outside of the clinic as it can create bias and a disadvantage to the patient. Very strict where I am (Canada).

Thanks for everyone's comments, maybe because I am in healthcare it is icky since he is looking at her as a love interest while treating her as a patient :| I will see if I can turn off my brain, if not then I will move on. Thanks for listening!
