So lunar new year is in mere days and already the 2025 C-drama season truly feels in the rear view mirror and everyone is onto the latest releases that kicked off the 2026 season. There will be plenty of C-dramas dropping but one interesting one with a lot of baggage is Rebirth (冰湖重生 Bing He Cong Sheng), the sequel to the hit C-drama Princess Agents from nearly a decade ago. It’s a sequel in story narrative but the leads Li Yun Rui, Huang Yang Tian Tian, and Zhang Kang Le are younger than original leads Zhao Li Ying, Lin Geng Xin, and Shawn Dou to begin with. Li Yun Rui picked this drama before his Blossom breakout and status leveling up, and the drama almost got shelved after Huang Yang Tian Tian’s family wealth and jewelry flaunting mini-scandal. All in all it’s a lot of stuff behind the scenes but the preview looks hella awesome though totally different visually in cinematography from the original. K-ent is now saying the drama is tentatively scheduled for an April 2026 release and I’m curious to see more promos beyond the first teaser released last year.
