The 2024 summer C-drama wave is here for realz, last week premiered Follow Your Heart starring Luo Yun Xi and Song Yi to kick it off and this week comes The Princess Royal with Zhao Jin Mai and Zhang Ling He. Earlier premieres Fox Spirit Matchmaker: Red Moon Pact and The Double were both late spring dramas and now we will see basically a new C-drama a week or maybe two a week across the various platforms. The first one is this week as Youku decided to jump ahead of another Zhang Ling He drama and release The Princess Royal on June 26th today. This drama is a double dose of Story of Kunning Palace rebirth story where BOTH leads are reborn as their younger selves to re-do their prior life ill-fated marriage into a clear minded alliance in this go-around. I really like the posters, visuals, concept of dual rebirth, and of the leads in the preview. Definitely checking this out!

Zhao Jin Mai is very pretty, talented and likable. I can’t wait. The second male lead Chen He Yi has potential so hopefully he will deliver.
By the way I wonder why the drama can maintain the rebirth theme and pass the restrictions whereas The Double couldn’t do so?
Will check this out besides Luo Yunxi’s current drama Folow Your Heart.
The novel is a masterpiece! Same author as destined (Baijingting x Songyi) drama based on. Really love the novel, at doubt 1st time read about the casting but turns out Zhao Jinmai is indeed good actrees.
The men’s wigs in this are giving me Elvis Presley vibes lol so distracting. Other than that looks interesting.
I’ve been excited about this since it was first announced and now it’s finally here! The trailers have been 🔥
I was gonna read the novel months ago but had to back out coz of the literal hundreds of chapters that I don't have the headspace for. I'm catching the drama for sure since I've read the premise of the novel.
My bad. I confused it with a different novel. 😂😂 The translation isn't over yet for this drama's novel and I can't start if it's not even halfway done. That'd be torture.
Where can Instead it? Please help.
@Kai If you're asking where you can ready the novel, check out novelupdates. Search for "The grand princess". But like Trina said, only about thirty chapters out of 169 have been translated so far. I am on the fence myself if I should brave the headache inducing MTL😂
I was watching Song Yi's new drama with Luo Yunxi but it was slow-paced for my taste. I'll check this one, maybe it's my cup of tea.
This drama is slow pace for me too. Was not my cup of tea
I have read the novel up yo 140. I think all 169 chapters are translated albeit not perfectly.
Does it have a useful female character?
Excited, excited!
The Double is still filling most of my head space but this looks equally good and am very excited to binge watch after a few more episodes come out. Quite impressed with Youku this year they haven't dropped ball till now. Starting from dumb cuteness of Everyone Loves Me, the intriguing In Blossom, the compelling Blossoms In Adversity and the addictive The Double they have delivered good dramas this year. Does anyone know what their lineup for the rest of the year might be?
