For fans of “Princess Agents,” the release of “The Legend of Shen Li” is like receiving the greatest present ever. The entire time Zhao Liying and Lin Gengxin were together on television, I couldn’t help but smile.
Getting Resolved with “Princess Agents”
We can all too well remember how devastated we were by Princess Agents’ conclusion. After seven long years apart, it’s wonderful to see the two celebrities working together once more; it almost seems like they’re paying tribute on purpose. From the well-known eccentricities of their personalities to sequences such as the one in which Zhao Liying dives to save Lin Gengxin after he falls into the sea. She comes to his rescue this time. Additionally, in a lighthearted manner of “The Legend of Shen Li,” she gets him out of the water by pulling his hair.
The Legend of Shen Li Ratings
There was a lot of anticipation around “The Legend of Shen Li” even before the premiere. After all, it’s Zhao Liying’s newest historical. It’s also her awaited reunion with the 36-year-old actor after their previous hit. Thus far, the show doesn’t just meet those expectations—it surpasses them with flying colors. It’s been ranking high whether it’s on TV or online platforms. It’s also set the record as the fastest show to reach a 30,000 heat index in the history of Tencent after just over one day (25 hours and 39 minutes to be exact). Zhao Liying now holds the record as the actress to hit a milestone on all three platforms since Wild Bloom and The Story of Xingfuhit 10000 on iQIYI and Youku respectively.
I’m all caught up and oh my goodness, it seems like the story is about to reach its boiling point. The two protagonists share their first kiss just before facing a heart-tugging separation. With so many climactic moments on the horizon, I can’t help but wonder if my heart will be able to handle the emotional rollercoaster especially after being spoiled with so much sweetness.
