A Princesa Rebelde

Ziyi Zhang's performance was extraordinarily fine, the best I have ever seen by any actress in any film, movie, or series of any kind in my lifetime of 77 years... The Chinese dramatic television series, "Shang Yang Fu" (The Rebel Princess), encompasses 68 distinctive episodes of 45 minutes each... Ziyi Zhang's performance throughout this spectacular series was truly exceptional in every way, a genuine priceless work of art, a gracious gift to anyone who's ever wished to see such nuanced artistry performed at the highest levels imaginable, most memorable and destined to become cherished, forever...

A+... 10 Stars x 10 Stars to the exponential power of 10, ad infinitum...

Don't let Zhang Ziyi's age problem deter you from watching the show. The 68-episode drama was filmed in 2018 when Zhang Ziyi was 38 years old. In the first 7 episodes, she plays a 15-year-old pampered countess, the prime minister's daughter and the emperor's niece. However, our heroine grows up fast, and by the 8th episode, everything looks normal. Yeah, it's a stretch, but if you can tolerate Emily living and working in Paris without speaking French, we can overlook this aspect of the drama :). It's about 1/10 of the total length anyway. If you'd like to see capable, good-looking actors wearing gorgeous clothes, moving around in beautiful locations, riding horses in breath-taking sceneries, then check it out. Remember to watch it with headphones on or with good external speakers, the soundtrack is amazing! The show is shot in the "Emily in Paris" mold and more.

One of the best scripted Cdrama with a great production and cast performance. I liked how for once the excessive length of Chinese TV series did not go to waste, in that it is part of the flow and the timeline of this war for the throne and family politics epic. A monumental cast that includes moments of outstanding performance and some really genuine study characters; I liked the soundtrack and visuals that were well tuned and in sync with the storyline and everything else.

Finally geisha ziyi zhang did a 64 episodes film production drama, what a treat from her, one of the best production, makeup dresses camera production are all world class film term, really great performance from her, a must watch if you into Asian history drama.

First off, Yiwei Zhou was the roof that kept this contained, Zhang Ziyi was the foundation and the other actors were blocks that built life into this incredible story. ZY's performance was transcendental. Geezus, the man is gorgeous. I don't even know what to say but I can tell you that this series will blow your mind.

Shout out to the cast, crew and members of the production team, especially the casting director.

Lastly, the MUSIC!! Goodness, my heart melted every time I heard the intro score.
