+ | ====== Modern Interpretation of the Return of the Princess Pearl ====== | ||
+ | Well, below is my interpretation of [[https:// | ||
+ | ===== Short version ===== | ||
+ | Basically the first season starts off with an illegitimate princess resulted from an one-night stand trying to claim inheritance. The show then moves on as a slice-of-life drama about that princess. There is an arc in the second season which features radicalisation. treason, liberation of a woman from political marriage, and of course hostage rescue. The third season (which I have never got around to watch) apparently features the persecution and exile of the Fang family. | ||

+ | |||
+ | So yes, I find that arc interesting, | ||
+ | |||
+ | The third season apparently features persecution against the Fang family. The third season was released like 10 years after the first 2 seasons, and it got pretty low ratings. So I haven' | ||
