If you are a believer
Well, to tell the truth, the drama first moments - with the little actress - were enjoyable. From then on, it was a total disaster. It was impossible to pretend that ZZI was a teenager. Not even in my dreams... I lost interest and had to put the drama "On HOLD". Sad reality.Bom, para falar a verdade, os primeiros momentos do drama - com a pequena atriz - foram agradáveis. Daí em diante, foi um desastre total. Era impossível fingir que ZZI era uma adolescente. Nem em meus sonhos... Perdi o interesse e tive que colocar o drama "EM ESPERA". Triste realidade.

S tier drama
If it continues like that I really think it might end up being one of my favorite dramas of all time!! I want to list the things I love the most about itThe cinematography is just insane! The acting doesnt feel forced or cute, all cast are just really good veteran actors, I find myself intrigued more and more not only for our main leads but also for example awu mom story with her dad I want to know more can they give a whole ep about it? Probably asking too much. Fl is really really stunning btw and zitan too. I am slowly warming up to our general tho not quite there yet. If you are debating whether to pick it or not pls do so it's absolutely mesmerizing, immerse yourself in the drama and don't listen to miserable people who take age too seriously. I assure you fl doesn't play a kid like character at the beginning more like a teenager and that would last for only 3 eps. Give it a chance you will get hooked

Good plot. Suspenseful, Good acting generally. Impressive battle formations and battle scenes.
Zhang Zi Yi as Wang Xuan and as always is mesmerising with her beauty and good acting. Though acting as a 16 year old, even in real life she is 42, I feel she still fits and looks like a teenager of that age. For one who is that young in the drama, she portray a mature, smart and cunning character with deep insight about the schemings and intrigues of palace life.Her opposite played by Zhou Yi Wei as Xiao Qi is equally impressive with his look, demeanour and strong personality carries himself well as a general commanding 200,000 frontier troops.
So far, seen up to 13 episodes. Looking forward eagerly for the rest and to see how the story ends. I am sure there are still lots of surprises, set-backs and victories along the way.

BIG SIGH......
Zhang ZiYi might be famous and the best actress back then but still she couldn't transform herself into 15 years old princess. Unfortunately, the whole actor cast for age appropriation to the main actress, everyone looked too mature for the roles, we could even see the wrinkles or creases. But hey...who am I to say? Was the acting good? No matter how good the make up was, 40 something age woman couldn't cover her maturity into a teenage girl - so for acting ZiYi didn't pull it off so was Tony Yang. Well, actually the entire team was a joke. Make up done horribly wrong....older actors can't disguise into younger versions no matter how thick the make up was. No one can disguise life experience-contained in someone's eyes into an innocent youthful person. But again, why was too emphasis on the younger self of characters? When they all know they have all mature actors? They could have hired young actors to play part of younger-selves.The set was beautiful though...beautiful clothing (too overboard with coming-out age party)...but story was outdated. Tired of typical story line 'imperial intrigues, jealousy, power hungry, greed.' nothing different from thousands other dramas. None of those interesting new idea of story that will get us hook on. So, I sighed and moved on especially when there were others coming more interesting story lines....Word of Honor anyone? With so much talents and money the production company invested in this project, it went flat and not interesting. Big name like Zhang ZiYi didn't make impression...

it was good little boring but good
i will only mention why i am dropping it6.5/10 for what i have already seen during 40 episodes
First to mention her childhood sweetheart the word sweetheart can't be used for that SML ugly garbage face
do you search for most disgusting looking guy in whole China to find that man, why would any woman or human being like that disgusting looking coward of a man, lesser then dog shit .......... SPOILER (you even make him King at end)
and AWU i don't know why she fall in love with her husband suddenly and tell him that there intercourse was unforgettable thing in her life, she fall for her husband just after a good fuck in rain. her 10 year of love just got vanished with her hymen
then she goes back to capital and started her emotional affair with DOGSHIT..SML who is coward as hell after watching him i can understand if AWU really moved on from him but no she is just pretending to love her husband
FL shamelessly spend time with her lover while her husband risk his life to protect those coward royals
she fail to slap the man that insult her and her marriage by suggest her to run away with her.
she enjoy being kidnaped and start feeling her sexual desired toward the man who try to rape her
she start a secret affair with her kidnaper behind her husbands back without a guilt because whatever she do is right (ROYAL BLOOD) spoiled girl that was already told in story.
AWU is spoiled characterless cheater .
AWU a married woman enjoy dancing with a man who try to rape her once and still has desire to have her
and she pretend to be a faithful wife in front of her husband with a shame or guilt.
her husband so called hero is a pussy and doormat who in whole drama know only how to lick FL toes
10/10 for this is madness
there is someone's personal opinion to call a cheater a doting wife i hope that person also got a doting partner that cheat on him with every man she can find
at end she made her lover kind with the help of her another lover and her husband was MOST IDIOT doormat ever
he doesn't deserve to be called any kind of hero, he was just a cheap solider who controlled by AWUs Viginia.......
In end she made her lust driven Childhood DOGSHIT King to so he can now screw her in front of her husband.
MOST SHAMLESS FL.
Who would want to have such shameless wife like Awu.
First she shows her affection to ex-boyfriend both in front of her husband and behind his back not once or twice but she does it continuously.
Then she secretly begins to meet her husbands greatest enemy - Helen Prince who once kidnapped her and who openly admitted his sexual desires towards her and even tried to sexually assault her in a closed room.
To make the things worse she agrees to become his friend and shamelessly dances intimately with him while she had already refused to dance for her husband (who after learning that her Princess wife was famous in capital for her dance wanted her to dance for him to see).
I was so disgusted that i did not watch it past 48th episode.
In the end i can only conclude that she is a Shameless and Cheating wife.
It was UTTERLY DISGUSTING to watch this drama

Don't have Spoiler
Until now, I'm very captivated by this drama.The history is very addictive, since the first episode.
I'm thinking about what will happen in the next episode.
The plot is very carefully linked in all scene, the primary, secondary and tertiary is very connected and the same time is very unique.
I love the couple their complicity and relationship that start with confidence and friendship.
This drama shows how can a person change when having power, and how the power can destroy the humanity in a person.

mind blowing logic
Im just gonna say this real quick, and i dont mean to judge the show by this or anything. Afterall i havnt even seen it past the first 5-10 minutes or something, so what do i know anyway. But it REALLY bothers me that the actors/actresses are so much older than the characters theyre portraying. I mean just look at the female lead, she was 42, but her character is supposed to be 15. I know it might not be that important, but wtf, if the character is 15, why on earth would you choose an actress that is 42!?Anyway, this is just a dumb "review", so dont let it stop you from watching it, if you can deal with that. It totally made me lose interest, but im just weird like that.

Worst choice of main actors
Who.. on earth came out with an idea that main lead actress can pull off being 15 year old, while a beautiful woman she looks 40ish, ruins the whole series for me. I mean seriously, in one of the most populated countries in the world could not find an actress in 16 to 20 range to give this part to? Generals right hand person is a female, a good looking one at that-as if, it would have happened , with hundrerds of sex starved men around.×********************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************************

The WORST CASTING EVER!!!
The casting is DREADFUL.How does the FL look 15 y.o.!!!!!!!
In any other drama she’d be playing a dowager!!!!
And the General Xiao Qi ?? How is he “young blood”?
The production value was so lavish and gorgeous - the direction well executed !!!
The fantastic cinematography!!
The brilliant script - promising storyline … ALL JUST TURNED TO ASH in the mouth at first bite ALL BECAUSE -
actors are just THE most boring - and unimpressive - and low talent that I have ever seen!!!
I mean I am new to Cdrama (just 4 dramas in) but veteran Kdrama viewer been through saeguks of every hue - great ones (like Empress Ki / Hwang Ji Ni / Bloody Heart / Red Sleeves etc AND BADLY made ones too).
This is the first time in my 3 years of Asian Drama viewing that i have seen such a shocking mismatch of lead cast and drama.
What a waste of a great script and production !!
I think i was spoilt from watching my first 4 C Dramas : which were so skillfully directed / produced / scripted with pitch perfect acting that i had begun to look forward to more C Drama.
- Hidden Love
- Fireworks in My Heart
- Lighter and Princess
- Ever Night 1 (with Chen Fei Yu)
I was just thinking of the “picture perfect” casting in “Ever Night” .. now those two leads are a power enngine that drove the show on their shoulder!!!!
They looked their age and their acting was electric !!!
You will not forget Ning Que and Sang Sang …
So if you are not affected by leads mismatched in age -
FL is 44 y.o. Playing 15 y.o
ML is 40 y.o. Playing young general mot more than 20??
Or affected by the dead-bore acting (how pathetic to see two old actors behave “cute and aegyo” ) then go ahead have a blast
The high rating tells you how little so many viewers were affected by these factors.
The lavish style of the show must have been enough for them.
Go ahead have a look and tell me I am ALL wrong …
AND HERE’s my 7 Star Banner raised for Ever Night and its STELLAR ACTORS!! Chen Fei Yu was ONLY 18 and look at the STAR ACT he pulled off.
Sorry I had that as my benchmark for CDrama wuxia / historical show.

Produção de alto nível, belíssimos cenários e um belo casal principal~
Um excelente começo, mas nem tudo é um mar de rosas em "A Princesa Rebelde"Para aqueles que gostam de um bom drama de época/histórico, envolvendo um romance maduro,
além de ter todas as tramas/traições esperadas em um drama que envolve o poder imperial pode ser uma boa opção.
Um drama com 68 episódios, com uma trama aceitável, mas com um politica envolvendo a corte não tão boa.
A historia é boa, a primeira parte é realmente bem interessante, mas ao longo as coisas vão se tornando um pouco problemáticas, os primeiros 20 e poucos episódios foram excelentes e me mantiveram interessado.
Seu ritmo inicial é bom e consegue manter as coisas na linha certa, sem nunca se perder.
A direção sabe aproveitar os momentos certos para deixar a trama mais emocionante e envolvente.
Como é o caso de uma certa parte da historia que se seguisse a novel seria facilmente resolvida, mas no drama de forma acertadíssima, souberam aproveitar este trecho para explorar ao máximo e desenvolver personagens.
Mas como eu disse nem tudo é um mar de rosas, começando por algumas mudanças,
sem falar que a trama envolvendo o palácio se torna desinteressante em certo momento.
A qualidade da produção é de se surpreender, esta é uma produção de ponta.
Figurino belíssimo, além de ter boas coreografias.
A OST é boa e se faz presente quando necessária.
"Shang Yang Fu" por Vivian Tan e "At All Corners of the Earth" por Hu Xia & Zhou Shen são belas musicas~
São esses os nomes das musicas que tocam nas aberturas e enceramentos dos episódios.
O romance é bom, esse drama nos apresenta um romance mais maduro, são olhares, frases jogadas ao ar, um grande cuidado e em pouco tempo você se vê encantado pela atuação tanta da FL como do ML.
Realmente me fez querer ver mais interações deles juntos.
Zhang Zi Yi como Wang Xuan é convincente, sua atuação é incrível,
bem deveria dizer que este é o esperado dessa grande atriz.
Sua personagem incorporada de forma magnifica, A'wu é realmente um bom personagem que amadurece com o tempo. FL melhora no decorrer da historia, mas sinto que falta algo, ao menos A'wu consegue ser fofa a sua maneira.
Zhou Yi Wei como Xiao Qi é uma surpresa e sua atuação é excelente.
Seu personagem é incrível, quero dizer ele provavelmente é o melhor personagem da historia, seu personagem e a atuação do ator é tão perfeita que dispensa comentários~
O elenco no geral é bom.
Agora preciso dizer que, houveram muitas criticas negativas em relação a idade da atriz e na minha visão isso é um absurdo, essas pessoas viram quantos capítulos? dois? três?
Ela interpreta aquela jovem inocente por pouco tempo, no ep8 sua fase inocente é deixada para trás, parem e pensem este é um drama longo, pela logica ele vai mostrar a vida da protagonista principal, seu amadurecimento vem rápido e ela deve se tornar uma grande mulher, para aqueles mais atentos fica claro o cuidado em desenvolver a FL.
Sinceramente não consigo entender, como o fato dela não ser jovem o suficiente pra interpretar o papel por pouco tempo seja algo tão terrível, existem tantos dramas questionáveis e as pessoas se incomodam com esse pequeno detalhe? Esse tipo de critica negativa fraca, me faz lembrar de "Love and Destiny" quando fui assistir acabei vendo varias reclamações pelo fato do ML não ser bonito o suficiente pro papel de Deus da Guerra! Risível!!!
Minhas considerações finais... Esse é um bom drama,
mas longe de ser perfeito, ele comete alguns erros e sinto que se arrasta em certas coisas.
Mas tem seus acertos, com toda certeza se você gosta de dramas de época, essa é uma boa escolha.
