Rookie Agent Rouge 胭脂 is yet another offering in the genre headlined by popular actress Zhao Li Ying opposite Lu Yi and Mickey Yuan Wen Kang as her leading men. Finally, a title that is more than one word, clever and to the point. Is it actually a spy thriller with a touch of comedy or is that too wishful thinking on my end?
Rookie Agent Rouge follows the story of a warm-blooded student activist with a burning desire to serve her country. She becomes a Nationalist but is quickly discouraged by the rampant corruption within their ranks until she meets an upstanding member of the Communist party who helps her become a true patriot.
On another note, Yuan Wen Kang got on my radar after watching Imperial Doctress and it’s good to see him in different projects as of late, maybe a lead role down the line? You can watch this with english subs on Viki.
