Because LBY didnt come clean abt his background and plans on revenge. He basically betrayed her trust. And also, CSS has a major abandonment issue due to what her family had done to her. When LBY decided to jump off the cliff to save her life, that was him abandoning her, which she already told him never ever to do. That was her bottom line.

10 ep cut? Whoa thats a lot!

Ikr! She’s like a substitute mother to shaoshang. She loves the empress more than her own mom, which made mommy xiao regret how badly she had treated shaoshang before.

Princess agent is of course worth watching if you dont mind tragic ending, but it is not necessary to watch princess agent before watching rebirth because it is not a sequel to princess agent.

And if theyre faithful to the novel this time, the first half of the show’s plot would differ from Princess agent because princess agent had deviated from the novel’s plot, like the fact that Chu Qiao was a military commander transmigrator in the novel (hence why she was a genius at military strategy and martial combat) but princess agents decided to make her the heir of some top jianghu assassin/spy organization originating in Yanbei, riddled with amnesia and hidden power. Zhuge yue was just a general of a noble family in the novel but on princess agent they made him (and his family) the caretaker of royal spy network that is an enemy to chu qiao’s spy organization. There are also other smaller plot deviations not really worth mentioning, but basically Princess Agent only follow the novel’s main plot of Chu Qiao being a slave in Zhuge household, met yanxun, indebted to him, stayed with him as home prisoner and considered each other as soulmates, helped his rebellion movement, fell in love with Zhuge at some point and ending with a fallout from Yanxun when Zhuge yue was lured into the icy lake. Come to think of it, with regard to key characters background on Princess Agent, only Yanxun and Princess Chun’er’s follow the novel’s to the T, while others had minor/major deviations.

Hey i recognize that mole! Isnt she the young chu qiao from princess agent? Wow oh wow. Please dont shelve this series. Im dying to watch a complete princess agent adaptation that is faithful to the novel. I read the novel 5 times since i first watched princess agent in 2020, that is how hard it is to move on from the heartbreak the ending caused me!

It’s a remake, not a sequel

Thanks! Saves my time cuz im not into political/strategy theme.

Does it have lots of physical fighting scene? Or is it just all talk? Any other series similar to this so i can have a rough picture how the plot is?

In the novel, it took him days to reach the grave cuz he was fighting a war at the border, so when he arrived, the body is already rotting and smelly, imagine him carrying around that 😂 i was so looking forward to this scene cuz I read the novel before watching the adaptation. Glad they kept that scene despite ditching the rest of the original plot.

Prisoner of beauty, Princess agent, legend of shen li

I read it at mydramanovel.com. Look for same title - kill me love me. The novel’s title is Chun Hua Yan but they listed it as Kill Me Love Me so it’s easy for people to find, i guess. Though i must warn you, the novel’s plot is totally different from the adaptation, and Murong Jinghe is a total scoundrel towards MeiLin here cuz he never realized how deeply he feels for FL until her ‘demise’. But honestly I still like his character in the novel than the tv. Tv Murong Jinghe is too soft and cheesy. Nothing like the novel ML. Though I hate novel ML’s treatment towards FL, it’s this darkish nature of his that makes him more interesting that other usual ML. And i totally prefer the love triangle between ML-LouMei-FL than the tv’s ML-FL-YueQin. The latter triangle is too stereotypical and predictable and the novel’s.

Mydramanovel.com page is pretty good cuz it has many novel that has been adapted to tv. I read prisoner of beauty and guardians of dafeng from here. But since it’s machine translated, some novels with many chapters (unlike chun hua yan with only 24chapters) always has mistranslation of character names which is pretty annoying and can be confusing. If you can ignore this, this page is really good to read novel translations from.

Read the novel for a happy ending. I truly hate adaptations that doesnt follow the novel’s plot, especially when the novel had been so good.

I thought the novel Wei Shao from The Prisoner of Beauty is the bastard of all ML bastards that I’ve read, turned out this Murong Jinghe is even worse 😒 i think writer of such novel really need to get their mental health checked. Super red flag.

Where did i say they must speak with english accent or without korean accent? All im saying is the super thick korean accent english that they spoke which is barely comprehensible shows how they do not play their “korean living abroad” role well. What’s more laughable is when their english lines can even be counted with one hand, some only have 2-3 lines only, and yet still fail to execute well.

Btw whats with this excuse about impossible to lose the incomprehensible english with super thick korean accent when other method actors can do it just fine? The squid game korean who played a main role in star war’s series the acolyte took english classes for that role and i saw he’s doing just fine acting as a main role in english speaking tv show. So yeah his korean accent is there but it is acceptable cuz it’s comprehensible. I’m sure he’s not the only one putting up enough effort for a role. That is the kind of dedication that i was talking about. I dont care about other shows cuz i dont watch them. And even if i watch and still saw a language that i can understand but been spoken horribly for a role that should speak it well, then for sure i would still criticize. It applies to all shows, just so happens i watch kdrama hence the criticism on this particular show.

The only one that i think can pass in cross dressing role is Zhang Tian Ai. She really looks rough disguising as a soldier, her face has a tinge of masculinity and the fact that they tanned her skin only made it even more convincing. The only shortcoming being only her height and build. Saw her in Fighting for Love and she totally nails it.

Ikr. I bawled when he died. I was wishing that he was not dead yet, that when Wei Qu strapped his body on his back that wei liang would somehow wake up and say “not so harsh. Im not dead yet!” 😭 had his character was the ML he couldve easily survived even the most severe injury. Such double-standard! Why cant support character also survive 😭

I have never rooted for any side couples as hard as I did with XiaoTao-Wei Liang. I never fastforwaded any of their scenes (like i did with side couples in other cdrama). This couple is the cutest!

I totally agree. ML is just too selfish knowing that he has a revenge to settle and yet drag shaoshang into the mess. I was super delighted when shaoshang left him after the first cliff event. He deserved it and so much more! He knew everything about shaoshang, and yet let shaoshang be in the dark about him. What a selfish bastard. I was not even moved when he decided to jump off the cliff, leaving shaoshang despite knowing she will never forgive him. In fact i wished shaoshang managed to slip from his grip at the last cliff scene and die, so ML would live in regret and despair all his life bwahahaha i dont mind a tragic ending here, this is the only time that i feel the ML totally deserved it.

It turned out i had a hard time moving on from this. So i started reading the novel. So apparently Mommy Xiao isnt as ruthless towards shaoshang in the novel than the adaptation. Gosh i wanted to slap her senseless when the on screen mom berated Shaoshang in front of the emperor just to decline the proposal. What a horrible mom! Novel mommy xiao is much more tolerable than the adaptation mom.
