The use of AI has its pros and cons. However, it's very basic that the ones using it do not infringe on the actors' rights when doing so. I just watched a series of short movies on iQiyi completely done using AI (https://www.iq.com/play/peter-pau-iqiyi-ai-theater-2c66zp7bm3q?lang=en_us) and it is very well done. Ironically, many of the AI characters have more human expression than some idol actors appearing on recent live-action dramas. AI, if well done, allow for filming risky or other scenes that might expose the actor to unnecessary harm, even some health-related one, such as undergoing diets and surgeries to change their appearances (as an example, we all saw how this impacted Zhao Lusi). As it evolves, it allows for actors to play older or younger roles without all the problems related to plastic surgeries, radical diets, etc. Therefore, I do not condemn the use of AI as long as it's done ethically. The rest, let the audience decide whether they approve or not, or, as we say here in the US: "vote with your wallet".
I just started and in ep 8. The main leads and the acting in general is very good. JJY and CDL are perfect as foxies. The story is also very good so far. The production in general is outstanding. So far it's easily a 9 - 9.5.
I really don't understand whst the production was thinking when they vetted this drama as a Princess Agents season 2. It probably wouldn't be so badly rejected if it came out as an independent story. However, labeling it S2 led to the obvious comparisons and this one does not get even close to light a little candle to S1.
Now that all episodes aired, I decided to give this series another chance after watching the first two sometime ago. Still no joy. After watching a few other series, this one gets even more difficult to tolerate and I don't think I can go beyond ep 10. Ended up lowering my rating from 3.5 to 2.5. I can count on one hand's fingers how many series got below 5 rating from me. I just watched iQiyi's Peter Pau series of short AI stories and those AI characters can act better than this series' main leads.
Awesome movie. Quite a creative plot twist on the original Cinderella and Little Red Hood fairy tales. It reminded the series Once Upon a Time. It would be great if the same crew did something similar combining several fairy tales. By the way, it deserves a much better rating.
Excellent series. I liked the story, direction, acting, soundtrack and the overall production. It's very pleasant to binge watch and time passes really fast. It should have a much higher rating.
No season 4. Only 3 seasons. It was announced at the launch of the second season.
The mention of seasons three and four is at the article's very beginning. My understanding that there were only three also came from the producers' statements when working on the second season. However, what worries me most is seeing the very short list of actors who confirmed reappearing. If true, it's very bad news.
I don't blame the director only. He also did The Double, which is excellent. I'm actually surprised that he could…
The Double's ML is miles ahead of any of the Rebirth's leads. Furthermore, go back to the beginning of this thread and see why The Double came up. Generation to Generation was another series that I paused because it was getting too boring - I needed a break.
Season 3 and 4? I remember the production saying it was 2 and 3 and they were going to be filmed together. Therefore, using the old saying "fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice, shame on me.", forgive me if I have to see to believe. . Also, seeing so few original actors in the list isn't very encouraging. However, I'll keep my optimism that the production will not replace the ones missing in the list by idol actors and kill this great series. And please keep the season 1's pace and mood. Season 2 felt like a different series. . Cheers to this series' season 3 and 4 coming as soon as possible!
The story is a blend of invisible man with a few others and isn't bad. However, the execution... Terrible acting, direction and special effects, if we can call it that. It reminds of those B productions, some so bad that they end up popular classics.
The plot had so much potential. I was waiting for to it branch out and develop after Ep 10 with all the intrigues,…
This drama did its job really well. It's not a Nirvana in Fire, which is mostly about politics and powerplay. This one emphasizes romance and the powerplay takes a second stage. I rated it a 9.5/10 because of that.
I wasn't able to finish the first episode, the girl had no charisma, and the mountain made of corpses was ridiculous.
It appears that the director tried to copy a Game of Thrones (GoT) scene where two armies battled and the dead piled up (literally). However, for anyone who watched GoT that pile in Rebirth's first scene looked like a parody. Something that Monty Python would do in one of their comedies. The problem isn't just the FL. The two MLs have a similar issue. They all still need several years practicing and learning in order to act decently. Right now, they should remain as support actors. After doing a great drama like The Double, the director shot himself in the foot when filming Rebirth.
