Rebirth For You (2021)

Started out good...

I decided to watch this drama after seeing a few clips on yt of Dongzhi & Qing An together. Something about them immediately caught my attention and so in spite of the mixed reviews I gave the drama a go.

PROS: I actually really really enjoyed the first 2/3 of the drama - Boaning and Li Qian are a power couple, who remain true to themselves and each other while everyone plots against them. Beautiful, loved it. The chemistries between the first, second, third couples are stellar. Also the costumes are beautiful, Baoning's outfits are always super pretty.

CONS: The last 8 episodes went totally downhill for me. Miarong & Zhao Xiao get more and more annoying as the drama progresses. The fight between Baoning and Li Qian is drawn out while the ending feels rushed. I will also say that I am still upset that we never got to see the marriage ceremony of Dongzhi and Qian An...

The drama started out great I wish it had followed through to the end, it had all the makings of a good period drama for me.

good start, but not good from the middle onwards

A lot of people have already written their negative reviews on this drama, so I would not say much.

For me, the drama had a good beginning when Bao Ning, Li Qian and Zhao Xiao joined the weaponry competition. It seemed like there might be interesting things happening among these 3 and the weapons in future, so initially was pretty looking forward to it. But in the middle of the drama, nothing seemed to be happening, like nothing big seem to be happening, BN and LQ fell in love, got married amongst jealous side characters including ZX. These side characters were always looking for ways to break the couple up. Started to feel a little bored and in the end the drama was just getting rid of those side characters one by one, but the tactics were not interesting either. I was always looking at how much time was left when I watched each episode because I didn't feel excited at all watching and just wanted to finish the drama. As time went by, honestly, I even got tired of looking at the main couple.

And as others have pointed out, really didn't understand what the title of the drama meant. 'Rebirth for you' hmm....nothing of that sort linking to the title happened in the drama...the Chinese title makes more sense, they should have just followed the Chinese title, 'Legend of Jianan Princess' or simply 'Jianan Princess' because legend seems too exaggerated. The FL, Bao Ning, definitely didn't create a legend in the drama.

Nothing profound, it's a classic formula for CDrama RomComs

I really enjoyed watching this one. Nothing profound but entertaining to say the least. Classic formula of a Chinese traditional/period RomCom. Good looking Main Leads.

Started of as an adventure of a mischievous FL and her warrior ML. Solving patterns and mysteries with their friends.

Then it turned a little to a political drama. Battle for power within the royals, then between nations. Some arranged marriages between major and minor characters. All this leading our main characters to find each other and fall in love.

After a while, the classic formula with CDrama became visible. ML and FL had a traumatic connection in the past. Almost everyone wanted the FL, almost everyone wanted the ML. Almost all except the villain.. All villains here are so obsessed either with their so called love or for power. After all the chaos when we think everything would be ok, it would seems like that the one responsible for the others death is a family of your love. Creating bunch of drama and conflicts for our main couple. Got a bit tiresome at around episode 30, but I decided to push through because the story's almost finished anyway.

They did battle it out in the end with the help of their family and friends, to save their nation and their love. So, it's still a happy ending.

Each to there own!

Ok this story didn't quite hit the mark! It wasn't bad but it wasn't great. Now the potential was there to have a really good story line but ended upgrade flat.

The basis of this drama is all about love triangles and roller coasters. Up to the first 10 or 12 episodes it was getting really interesting then too much water was added to a story to pad it out, and then they rush the ending! I would of liked more story to the ending instead of it being rushed.

I can't complain about the actors they did their job really well, and the costumes and the sets they were beautiful.

Overall this drama is worth giving a go.

Personal opinion

Personally i think the actor and actress suitable for the roles. But the storyline has a lot of illogical part. If you tell me this is more towards historical and fantasy storyline i understand all the illogical part.

There is a lot of very stupid part where by no matter what the GMR do she is able to stay in the house until JBN almost got rape and she cut her finger then she got chase out. LQ already knows what he did to JBN and to the family yet still let him stay.

I feel the best episode is the last 2 episode where they answer all the question. From the start is all about how JBN do all the stuff so that she don't get marry with the emperor and those he dont like until LQ save him and she agree to married her. After marriage is all about how GMR trying to bully or do stupid things to get LQ to like her and get JBN out of the house. Which i think is totally unnecessary. The main story is to find out who is the one that kill LQ's mum but in the whole of the 40 episode there is nothing about until last few episode where JBN and LQ separated then is about this whole incident. Then no one went to investigate about it before concluding is JBN's dad kill her only at 2nd last episode then is being play out. Which DD knows it she never tell her family only before going help QA to kill QT then remember to tell JBN but not send letter to his father.

That ZX is just a guy who is so obsess with JBN as long as he can get JBN he is willing to do anything. Even JBN reject him 100 times he still think there is a chance. Even until last episode! Which is stupid!

I cannot say is a very very bad drama but ask worth watching a not i dont think so. Unless you are the actor and actress fan. The actor and actress got good chemistry but the storyline ruin this drama.

The MAGNIFICIENT~ Story

Yes, I'm writing a review in the middle of it airing. I'm going to be speaking from a perspective of a constant binge-watcher of way better shows; be it kdramas,jdramas, or cdramas.

The acting is okay. I wouldn't say it is the best or anything even close to that; however, I have to give props to the annoying characters. They are so good at portraying the characters that it makes me want to punch them. Cursing at my screen has become the normal every time this show airs. I end up pausing the show so I can throw my hands up and imagine myself punching them right in their noses. Now, back to the review. From around episode 1 to 15/16, the show was *chef's kiss*. Perfect to waste my time on. However, HOWEVER!!!, the episodes take a turn for worse. The annoying sh**s take up almost all of the screen time now. It's gotten to the point where it really seems like they just want to stretch the show out to 40 eps. Like WTF!! DO THEY NOT KNOW OF "TIME SKIPS!" The only good thing in this drama is the head over heels male lead. Overall, I give this rating a 5 star. That means it's good enough to watch till the end. Never going to recommend this to anyone. and it's going to stay in the darkest deepest corner of my completed dramas list.

just normal drama not special

I only lasted until episode 24. I think the story is enough. LQ and JBN ended up sleeping together and JBN got pregnant. QA loves DD and has led a secret division against QT to be the real heir to the throne. And I saw the jump straight to the end of the 40th episode, yes, it's more or less the same condition. LQ and JBN are still together and the child has grown. DD married QA according to her love story. both muan and yongqing countries are at peace.

overall
acting is very good.
Story is very bad.
just normal drama not special
This can be special if you fans of ju jingyi or joseph zeng together

How to destroy a drama by making a supporting character the main character

Out of all JJY's dramas, this one has the weakest storyline. This is not a story of revenge, as the original drama intended, but a story of letting jealousy rule the day, and the 3 side (behaving as main) characters not taking accountability for their own actions and their part in their own fate- always blaming others. It started off quite promising (strong and independent FL, good chemistry between leads, funny and light-hearted moments, good action sequences, problem solving in a maze setting, intrigue, political power games, family power games) and the build-up was quite good up to episode 12. Then it just came crashing down and went downhill with the FL and ML being supporting characters for the rest of the drama. In fact, the synopsis of helping the new Emperor only happened in 3 out of the 40 episodes depicted ie episodes 35, 39 and 40. The rest was monopolised by a role model for all green-tea women out there, and her two scheming partners. For all 3, as you guessed it, their actions were driven by the green-eyed monster. I dont know why they didnt just label the green-tea woman Gao Miao Rong as the MC, as she clearly was written as such in this adaptation. Her story had the full arc- background, beginning, middle, and ending, which in fact no other characters in this drama was given. There is something quite wrong when the screenwriters chose to focus on a supporting character as their leading storyline. I got bored and couldnt care less about the events as they unfolded. The only reason why I kept watching to the end was to catch the little interactions between JJY and Joseph ZSX. Their chemistry was natural and believable. Hope they have future collaborations together. I also liked Baoning's grandmother. These 3, the good action sequences, and the political game/problem solving were the saving grace of the drama for me. Also, JJY has improved greatly in her acting performance in a costume drama. I stopped noticing it's JJY and just saw her character Baoning from episode 4 onwards, so that is saying something. It's a shame it's wasted on such a lackluster storyline. Badly done screenwriters, director and production team!!! Shame on you!!!

So MIAO RONG GETS TO GO SCOT FREE AFTER ALL THE SHIT SHE PUT EVERYONE THROUGH AFTER CAUSING SO MUCH DAMAGE AND GETS AN HEA BUT ZHAO XIAO GETS PUNISHED?

See, it wouldn't have been a problem for me if they let her off because they wanted to show that evil people get away with things or something, but dude everyone else got punished but her!

The woman made The Princess's life hell, and was THE MAIN REASON A FIVE YEAR OLD BOY DIED OF FOOD POISONING, she was almost going to get Li Qian's sister get married to an evil person with several concubines, And even Li Qian was like no biggie, let's just put someone else in prison because she's a GIRL. I don't even know what level of stupidity this is. And why of all the people, Li Qian let her off! So much of what she did also directly ended up hurting him too!

And seriously Qing Tan was the only villain who was actually entertaining.

So yes, her character and Zhao Xiao's characters PETTINESS was the most frustrating thing for me. Like they wouldn't fucking DIE

And in general the writing is not that great, which is the main issue here. If they didn't have the budget to show the serious stuff in shows like Novoland and Long Ballad, they should have just made this a sweet romance and just focused on the couples which I really liked them all.

The problem for me at least, was the really petty squabbles being the main focus and poor Joseph didn't even get enough screen time toward the second half when literally him and Jing Yi were the reason I kept watching till the end.

And okay now that the rant is over lol I'll tell why I'm still rating it 7 and not lower.

So let's face it, Joseph Zeng gets a lot of criticism over his acting and I agree, before Ultimate Note, I understand the criticism, but seriously I saw him in Ultimate Note and the improvement in his acting made me fall in love with his version of Wu Xie and now after Zhu YiLong's Wu Xie his is my favorite version! That's how good he was especially after a few episodes.

But in this drama, HONEST TO GOD, the kind of CONFIDENCE and PASSION with which he was acting, made me so happy! Our baby's grown up now :') so yes, I'm literally just going to mention that. But his passion and dedication was wasted on the telenovela like storylines and general weakness of the writing. And my favorite moments were definitely the couples moments, but also when he gets tortured and hurt, ffs he broke my heart in those scenes much like he did in Ultimate.

So, that's all I have to say about this one. I just think you should watch it, if you like the actors.
