*Finds out Avenue X doesn't hate period drama* - leaves video to go watch that period drama right away 😅
Sis is far from falling off
i am gonna watch this because avenuex is not hating the drama lol
FACTSSSS 🤣🤣
my favourite moment was when she scoffed “pretend to be pure? at MY age?” i just like how their age means they can be more blunt about sexuality and love than most court dramas
My other fav was when PWX scolded her about recruiting SRQ in the investigation. "You are an old woman while SQR is at his peak. Don't ever thinking about scoring yourself a younger man."
YouKu is really on a streak as far as period idol drama is concerned: Blossom In Adversity, The Double and now The Grand Princess, it’s hit after hit.
Grand Princess is far from being a hit in China. Same goes for Blossoms in Adversity, except that one was a dark horse so it performed above expectations.
yes agreed Blossom in Adversity was excellent, The Double highly enjoyable - and this one looks great!
I did particularly enjoy the moment at the start of the drama where the female lead wakes up as her 18 year old self and marvels at how young she looks... despite looking exactly the same as she had two minutes ago as she was dying at the age of 40
Enjoying this drama for the 'find that special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life' main couple vibes
I love the couple, their familiarity with each other is so nice to watch
You're right. The attractive thing about this drama is that it embodies that dream...who hasn't ever dreamed of returning to the age of 17 and fantasized about what decisions we would change? Let's not ask for psychological depths, but the topic is attractive, and they are so NATURAL!. As for The Double, you were right: I ended up totally dizzy with the "camera close-ups" that only distorted the face of the first actress, or how to make a pretty girl look like a Martian... Thank you dear!
I'm actually enjoying this drama a lot. It's just my preferred genre tbh, I love the drama revolving around palace and imperial families. Quite refreshing to see the character of Prince consort, as it's normally the Princess who becomes the consort. Their acting is very much upto the mark, THEY HAVE CHEMISTRY! The setup, the makeup, everything is upto my liking. So far, good. I hope it becomes entertaining upto the last episode.
I like the fact that both characters know and accept the fact that they are reborn. And I like their relationship.
Same!
MY LOVELY OLD COUPLE! I love how they argue all the time but it always end with pure affection and respect towards each other. A cute pair
@@linghui5095 The scenes are relatable to all married couples who never stop arguing but at the end of the day they have each other comforting and supporting each other“ Love always win by having each other to face any challenges in life.
When I first watched this drama, it gave me "Queen of Tears" vibe. The OST also sounds more like a Korean drama than a Chinese drama. I found it entertaining and enjoyable, and I recommend it.
My favourite thing about the drama is that unlike other rebirth dramas, the characters aren't rehashing significant details or events of their past life. Things are the same and yet most things happen differently than they remember or don't even happen at all.
In other dramas, the character that travels back usually knows that a certain problematic event, whether major or minor; is going to happen at a certain time and uses the knowledge they had from their previous life to solve the problem. A lot of times that can feel like cheating and makes the character a bit Mary Sue-ish(cough SOKP cough) but since the characters in this drama don't really have the exact same problems they did in their old lives, they use their wits and tools currently at their disposal to solve them without relying on foreknowledge.
It is a rare case to see a Chinese drama using the power of language to get ahead. Not gorgeous visuals, but language. The bickering between the two was so real and so amusing. Then again, create memorable scenes by what is actually said, like when the ML finally decides not to stomp away speechless and frustrated, but actually explain to the princess the necessity of her gauging emotions accurately. She needs to figure out what people feel and want; that of course includes herself. Excellent scenes in eps 13 and 14 which Avenue X hasn’t yet watched. I personally enjoy this drama very much, though of course anyone can figure out where it’s going, it’s not that hard.
I'm really enjoying it so far. Nothing overtly bad about the drama and the dynamic between the leads in well-written.
I haven't been able to lose myself in a cdrama since A Dream of Splendor and Love Between Fairy and Devil.
The camera work and editing is really, really good.
I am enjoying their banter😂 but fight scenes are pretty ridiculous, you are right. There was a boomerang sword on the battlefield a few episodes back, and I rolled my eyes. Like, really? It's a straight long object. Why would it come back to you?!!😂😂😂
Well said Ave X. He’s actually become one of my favorite actors. Their chemistry is very solid
I would say this series is on a relaxed side, cause the leads already know eo and the people who are around them, it really makes you feel relaxed and just enjoy what they’re doing, in other dramas the anxiousness of the characters to show themselves and to hardly get to know eo gives you the same feels as well but this one the comfort zone they provide for eo is really well delivered to the audience as well and that’s a unique experience.
It's so freakin good....so freakin.good, lol. Bruh, I can still HEAR that slap, lol Her storming the Pei household, I LITERALLY CHEERED, lol CHEERED! Please keep this up until the end~~ pleeassee
This drama getting better and better . Can’t wait for the rest of the episodes.
Im finding hard to follow up the drama, the story is good but I just dont have that feeling "I want to watch the new ep NOW"
I would have never have known they dubbed the ML voice until you just spoiled my fantasy. I love the ML's voice. I am actually waiting patiently for episode 23 at the moment. We found out a big reveal in episode 22, so 23 will be a pivotal turning point in the story. I am loving this story. The chemistry between the Male and Female lead is amazing. The story never gets boring, it's just always moving. It's not the greatest drama I've ever watch, but it is definitely ENTERTAINING and keeps you coming back.
I agree with all your points. This is focused on the romance and not politics, wars, or anything else. I am glad Zhang Linghe is dubbed because he actually sounds much better and it improves his "acting". There aren't that many tropes and the side characters get enough time for themselves without overshadowing the leads. There isn't much difference between athe 40 old vs the 20 old selves. It seems the teens have the wisdom of their older self so they are less naive about things. As for their relationship, they both are trying to make a match for the other person. And their own relationship is more like and old married couple with all the digs and gaffs and how she is always hitting him on the head. He's apparently not as bad as she thought. It seemed he did love her, but she was the one who grew cold toward him and they drifted apart.
Very happy with this drama, currently on ep 15. I like their banter- nothing extra as mentioned, they have chemistry and I am happy to continue watching till the end.😊
Started watching this one over the weekend. Really enjoying it and I'm keeping my fingers crossed it doesn't take a weird left turn or something down the road.
Zhang Linghe is dubbed? I swear I was convinced to listen to his voice in the drama
Same here. I thought it was his own voice!
His voice is a bit deeper. You can hear it in The Truth S2
@@KoiliciousBLGarden Yes, i am following it but that's why. Or they mixed the dub with his voice, because i was totally convinced he did his own dub
@@ChinaJapanLover No they didn't mix the dub. I get why you get confused. It sounds very close soemtimes. But you can tell that ZLH does talk a little bit slurred. Kind of like what AvenueX was saying. When the character in the drama acts cute, it sounds very close to ZLH cause that's how he sounds when he talks. A little coquettish tone. The VA has very clear pronunciation.
@@KoiliciousBLGarden So it's the VA voice that is very similar to ZLH voice, because the pitch, the sound, for me it was 100% him that i didn't even doubt it
I do like the look of the drama compared to others. The colour grading is pretty nice
Li Rong character is very unique..she ia soft in side but circumstances and palace live force her to be tough...
And she is soo content with herself..lol...but she is broadminded person ao she ia willing to accept insight from other people..
And I llove the relationship with ML character...the bickering but also flirting..and they are very convenience with each other inthis second life chance...gigle when I watch Fuma ask for money from his future wife or his previous time wife😂
The Grand Princess = Princess Royal
I was waiting for your review and I love your outfit and headpiece ❤
First episode: Can’t believe they couldn’t get any hair and makeup expert to change the look of the young actor and actress. I have seen a lot of young Chinese makeup artists online who could have done a better job. Even her sickly makeup was not believable.
But the interplay and banter of the main actors is entertaining. Her small relapses of acting old are the best (her mid afternoon exercises, taking 😴 naps and her unapologetic bashful pursuits of Mr Su) am loving it.
The long ballad used 2D Animation to show the battles and other events ,it was good idea to deal with budget issues.
I like the drama. similar to AASOL the scenes of billiard games only comes secondary to the beautiful romantic scenes of FL & ML continue to trend w/ their great chemistry, act naturally & convincing on portraying their roles, so it’s the same in Royal Prncess, I enjoyed the natural acting of Jinmai & Linghie scenes in funny and romantic scene, Jinmai is awesome in narrating &delivering her dialogues plus she’s so attractive playing the role as Princess.
After some time I'm convinced to watch a drama
For me it's fine than double
Acting is really fine
really enjoying this one! good follow-up to the double for a mid-tier period drama
I agree it’s not award winning but it is very enjoyable to watch so I think the drama will fair well in the end ☺️
I like your reviews very much! Always watching every video you posted. Thank you for your dedicated work! Have a nice summer and keep up!
i fear at the end they're gonna pull a "Scent of Time" and erase all the stuff the characters did in their second life
Wait is this really 40 ep long? Now im worried if i can finish since i dropped The Double and that one was popular. I see the same issues you mentioned with this one in the lack of care in the politics. Makes it hard to believe so it makes me tune out. If the romance doesnt romance then i probably wont make it to the end. So far, im enjoying rhe crown prince's story more and second male lead's story. He's a lot more complex so far and im curious to see what they do with him.
Love your head piece!!!!!!!
How boring must things be that excite a drama where the protagonists talk? Yes, they simply talk, say things to each other and much of the time they act maturely. I have problems with some aspects of the drama but nothing that makes me hate it.
Thank you 🌺I'm waiting for the premiere of the 2nd season of Lost you Forever to finish watching the 1st season. I thought it was a good drama, I am always attracted to the figure of the "evil" character, whether male or female (sometimes they are much more interesting than the "good" ones !). I don't like series that leave me hanging in the middle without knowing the ending. "The Princess" entertains, to pass the time. It's not one of the worst, let's hope that this half of the year the dramas IMPROVE a little...
ohhhh im looking forward to your review! i just started this one bc I adore ZJM
Obrigada pela resenha crítica, Avenue X!
In my opinion, the one plot line that brought any tension to the drama - that the ML and FL were BOTH reincarnated was resolved way too quickly. For me, they should have stretched out that storyline for a few more episodes. All the Cdramas lately are just on a cycle of rinse and repeat.
It’s a good thing I literally never understand these war and politics 😅 no matter if it’s illogical or not. My brain doesn’t compute any political conversations in dramas😂
Zhao JinMai I found she is better in Modern drama. She Don’t look comfortable in Costume drama as all. I am Sorry.
I am much more tempted to compare TPR to Story of Kunning Palace, rather than The Double.
I am watching this drama and I like it so far. Usually only 1 person is reborn. I’m not taking it seriously. Also the costumes are very nice!
I am loving this drama and I'm convinced the Su Rongqing character is also reborn...I'm side eyeing him big time! What I'm scratching my head over is why a Princess Royal only has 2 outfits/costumes...I'm already tired of her wardrobe. Really good though and the episodes move really quickly.
Thank you for your honest review! I will give a try for sure!
Ooh, I love your hair ornament and outfit. You look lovely. I enjoyed it so far. I do love their banters. I really like the costumes and hair ornaments. The leads are really good looking. Now a day as long as I'm enjoying and entertaining by a drama then 👍 from me
Im currently watching the Grand Princess. I am entertained so far. With Double, I am not sure if I like the last episode, with Blossom in Adversity, I love the opening sound track it's very addictive.
Only the first 10-12 episodes are fun to watch now logic and plot took serious hits. She was so against the royal family and defended noble families with her life in the past but now she is so against them...!! But never admitted that she was wrong. She takes both for her actions past and the present as justifiable...!! Like how?? In one moment we see she was so in love with both her husband and lover then in the next moment we see she never took love seriously, never had any expectations from love...!!! One moment ready to kill anyone who tries to harm her husband, the next moment doesn't care much about her seriously injured husband...!! The contradictory characteristics of the main lead are seriously painful to watch.
After your vlog in Tang city, now I can't unsee the set used in this drama 🙄.
This is very much similar to 1930s screwball comedies in how the leads interact with each other and that’s refreshing in cdrama.
Oh my God, I also feel the Queen of Tears vibe in this drama. I completely love the pairing of Mai and Ling He here. The way they portrayed a 20 years marriage relationship in 18-20 years old body is justtt soo good.
I like whenever they realise their mistakes in the first marriage. It is so convincing that the two definitely look like a real couple arguing with each other. You know.. the spark was gone but hearts can't lie.
Not only that, Jinmai and Heyi also create an intense chemistry. So intense that it disturbs me because I am into the lead couple XD.
you right it's definitely the boring cdrama season..it's been for me since January 😂
You absolutely right darling. I watched 4 episodes then dropped. The Double drama most exciting brilliant drama .
Gracias por tu reseña 😉
The concept kinda reminds me of Go Back Couple.
40 year old female lead looks exactly the same as 18 year old version, except for the hair!!!! It took me a few appearances of the 40 year old version to figure it out that her bangs are different from the 18 year old version. That’s the only difference. 😂
Started watching after your review. It is fun and you are right, it is worth for romance only.
Now I know why it reminds me so much of Destined 😂❤!
Eh, it's an okay drama, but it's not addictive. I blame it on the directing and writing. A lot of the lines could've been told through visual story-telling, but they chose verbal lines instead, it just doesn't appeal to me because I have to listen and read the subs too often to understand. I'm not sold on the chemistry either, maybe the storyline did not sell the emotions right. If anything, you can tell a lot of budget went into this drama. I actually like the side characters, such as the crown prince, more than the main couple. I had so much expectation, since I had read the novel. This drama is passable, but not great.
I've started watching this as The Princess Royal and am only on ep 8. The leads seem to wander between ennui at having to do this all over again to a pleasant familiarity they find surprising in each other. Where to go from here they wonder?
Will squeeze in Lost You Forever when it airs but find what I'm watching now too tasty not to keep indulging.
🙈 Hi, great video as always. But there is a typo in the heading of the video.
aka The Princess Royal.
The drama is not bad but It lacks the crackastic addicting flavor that made "The Double" the hottest drama of June. That craze that made people hate week ends and love week days for "The Double", that drama here doesn't have that for me. And personally Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He chemistry doesn't make me go "wow". It is here but it is too forgettable for me. All in all the drama is there.
fully agree
Thank you
@@angelxxsin The Double's Xiao Heng made people hate week ends and love week days. This is how crazy "The Double" experience was in June ! Drama advertisement sponsorship numbers went from 0 when the show aired on 2 june to hundreds by the time it ended. The drama had the spice that made the ride crazy entertaining.
Agreed
I find this drama a bit of a let down. Their banter and interaction lacks synergy. No heart skipping moments, no chemistry even. Overall it's like a fizzy drink minus the fizziness. In another word; flat.
I rlly like zhao jinmai n i think im gonna watch this drama for her plus the fact that you said it's quite entertaining 🤞 we have the same taste haha
theres nothing rlly to watch in chinese dramaland rn😫
High recommendation The Double drama most interesting exciting to watch. So captivated the best drama of the year. 💯💯💯💯💯💯👍👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm really enjoying this drama.😊
Watched the first two episodes and enjoyed them...
The characters has too much dialogue than action, making the drama somewhat boring.
You absolutely right darling. The Double drama is most exciting to watch honestly.
I just enjoy it
Not to heavy drama series as lighter drama series
😂😂😂
Not fair, us Nordic people don't have such fun hair accessories! 😛
We have braids, stuff to put in the braids, but have not seen anything like this. Granted, I don't know all, just saying, I like it, 😃.
I started it from ep 2 and watched till 6, but since I dont wanna watch 40 episodes, I skipped through a few of the later episodes and now I'll see if i ever continue. But Ill keep watching spoilers as more eps air
I am watching this one Zhang linghe is my fav one❤ I am enjoying it's so good
I love the costume. I love Angel Zhao and Zhang Linghe's acting but I still skipped scenes, the same way with the Double and with the Follow your Heart. 😂😂😂
Made me laugh a lot and their acting is better than the Double. So enjoyable 😀♥️
Was just wondering if I should start...now I know
Your video is always reasonable.....
Thanks ma'am...
Love your lookin this video!
I am actually enjoying this drama. I like the bantering between the couple
I have watched till ep 17 and it is a very good dramas among the crappy dramas releasing these days........i got hooked from the first ep of this drama itself....
Please can someone share some recommendations of period drama (harem one) like "empresses in the palace" "yanxi palace" "the Empress of china" or "the rise of phoenixes". I'm tired of some random men flying in the sky or too idealistic drama😭
Help me 🙏🙏
You may like Ruyi's Royal Love in the Palace. Impressive cast, sets and costumes. It's definitely a harem melodrama, but the Qing Dynasty Emperor, who ascends to the throne unexpectedly, is a sympathetic character. He tries to protect his beloved concubine who is wrongfully accused of heinous crimes against his other wives and children. It's on Viki with subtitles in several languages.
" Mi yue Legend "
One of the greatest masterpieces I 'm proud to watch until 80 episodes ;it has all my favorite actors throughout;
You will see how the story is cooked on lovely simmering fire , the tone is enjoyable ,the lines the costumes ...you will definitely cry,laugh،,love and hate with our Mi yue (八子）
Try to bear with the translation ,it is. Ot always accurate
But you will definitely enjoy each second of it ..
(It is a true story by the way during the Warring states)
Me too I love political historical drama ❤
@@Barbarossa-heir I’ve watched this drama which long and filled with palace drama. I couldn’t watch it again as once was enough. Try Minglan as well.
@@maryannrondinella5680 I already watched it after yanxi palace :( but thank you
@@Barbarossa-heir I watched it too :(, it's indeed a great drama. I'm a big fan of sun li so whenever I come across her work I don't hesitate to watch it ❤️
I must say that i agree with you that it seemed boring but surprisingly very fun to watch
Cdramas are so boring lately, even this couldn’t keep me watching so I started the kdramas "my sweet mobster" and "miss night and day" and they’re both so much fun 🤩
They are different proposals - these K-dramas are rom-coms, and the latest cdramas that have come out are historical dramas, with different approaches. Let's wait for the rom-com cdramas
Miss night and day so nice😍😍😍
@@port_bondadamor4637 but there hasn’t been a good rom-com cdrama in literal years 😭 i can’t wait anymore
Exactly...Chinese dramas these days are so boring...the content is all similar and the actors' acting is all similar.
my sweet mobster this is my favorite drama these days hahaha.... I fell in love with Uhm Tae-goo.
I want to watch it only for zlh, i think the guy is verygood. And you dont hate it, im so super in!.
One thing about Avenue is if she’s enjoys a drama no matter how bad the colour contrasts or pallet is she’ll manage to give that drama a good review even if the isn’t all that. If she’s hates a drama or didn’t find good enough for her no matter how good the drama is she’ll find a way to downplay the drama. But I’ll keep watching your review it just something I’ve notice over the last two years of watching ur reviews
because she likes these actors. If she does not like the actors, she cannot really finish the drama good or not. So, although I will still not let her affect my decision NOT TO watch a drama, I will still look forward to her videos.
100% agree with you
Hmmm ...The reviewer is getting reviewed.
@@asj685 yup. I really love listening to her talk. Even if I had no clue what she’s talking about.
I am enjoying the tug of war/words between the lead couple.
do you have a channel where you review other than chinese drama? example : k-drama or thai drama
Eu gosto dos diálogos entre o casal principal e o fato de que para nenhum dos dois o objetivo da nova vida seja "vingança". Eles entendem o meio que estão enseridos e como o ml diz, a princesa é um pouco equivocada ao ler pessoas. Mais o importante é que eles conversam e tentam se desviar de algumas coisas. Até o sml que também renasceu eu acho que o maior objetivo dele agora é salvar a família dele. O triste que para salvar uma família outra acaba pagando.
This ok drama than follow your heart....
I liked the first two episodes and I agree with avenue x overall but I am not going to PAY FOR WATCHING IT !!!!!.YOukou be honest with your viewers......
I am in episode 21 and it’s really good
You look so beautiful today Avenue X!
I love this show! I have a question about Chinese Drama Land - I've done a little (a tiny amount) research about foot binding, finding out that from the 10-11 century, a good portion of the Chinese female population had their feet bound. Has this ever been in CDramas? Or even eluded to? Just curious with your understanding of this cultural phenomenon.
It’s also called The Princess Royal
好看！
Me personally hate that Su daren with passion, just looking at his face makes me angry
Please do one for link click 😊
I am currently watching it,and enjoying it,but I still prefer The Double,it was highly addictive ,and now that its finished ,I have withdrawal systems
You absolutely right darling
I feel the opposite, This is better than The Double
@@rarezzzzz I don't agree with you and judging by the views on Youku,I think I am right ,it was a dark horse of a drama,hardly any publicity,and didn't get the fanfare like other Dramas ,but it's be n a smash hit every where
I feel you , is exactly how i feel
@@marionsmith4728 everyone is fine with keeping opinions. I don't care about the views, I like The Princess Royal and I just stated it. The double is fantastic but still, favourite remains the former.
Pretty !
