This is another one I forgot to write a review but I did watch it twice so I had to watch it again. Now I know why I forgot to write a review. I couldn't express words for this drama because it had me so emotional and teary-eyed. I'm even having a hard time writing a review on it now. The storyline was great don't get me wrong. Seo In Guk who plays the character Kim Moo Young absolutely took this character to another level. I mean OMG, this actor loves to play villain roles and his eyes are perfect for that type of role. His eyes are beautiful and can be a dangerous weapon if you ask me. I research Seo In Guk, just letting y'all know his vocals are perfect. It seems like South Korea has the most beautiful voices in the world when it comes to singing. The talent there is just phenomenal. I am praying that if there is such a thing as being reborn... let me be reborn in South Korea. Jung So Min who played the character of Yoo Jin Kang, wow, I love this actress! She can play a strong woman role awesomely. I loved her in Alchemy of Souls. Park Sung Woong who played the character Yoo Jin Gook, OMG, I wanted to reach into my TV and just slap him in the back of his head. For that actor to stir my anger emotions high... he did a great job. As you see in how I rate this, there was a hiccup in the storyline but you will have to watch to see what I am talking about.

Thanking all of The Smile Has Left Your Eyes team for making this drama, I applaud you. I want to thank the screenwriters and producers for orphan children and the orphanage that takes care of them. Not all orphanages are bad but some are.

I love how they brought the awareness of Autism to a drama. People need to know there are 3 Levels of Autism. I believe she had Level 2. Reading the reviews of Park Eun Bin and how she had to learn about Autism, she did an excellent job. Kang Tae Oh, wow, this actor made everything in my heart go ah in how his character wanted to spend his life. I was overcome by it. Kudos to the screenwriters for that part of the story. Thanking all of the actors and actresses who did a great job, How you dressed Park Eun Bin for this part had me asking "why?" That was my only critical opinion. I am anxious to see the 2nd part. Thank you to the great teamwork.

Wow this had no Romance!

The storyline was very well done. I'm impressed that this had two main male Chinese actors. I was also impressed that I finally got to see a Chinese drama without romance or competition of female leads for the male lead or vice versa. I love art, the producers were perfect with how their direction regarding sketches, drawings, and what made me very happy is that they showed face blindness having autism. Thank you for bringing attention to autism disorders. Tan Jian Ci who played Shen Yi was excellent with his acting displaying a sketch artist and oil paintings. Very handsome actor. Jin Shi Jia who played Du Cheng, for a minute I thought he was a real detective/police. JSJ was very believable. I thank all the actors/actresses in the characters that they played to make the storyline more believable. This is a rewatch for me!

The awesome visuals!

Zhang Ruo Yun, you did great in this drama. Thank you! You had me cheering for you all the way to the last episode. You were so believable in the character you played. I wished there were more episodes to see you bring back your brother and sisters plus Jiang Ni played by Teresa Li, she was awesome but I have to talk about the strong women in this drama. The lady in white is what I want to call her, 2nd sister, and the little crazy one Miss Hee Hee these characters and the actress who played them were just awesomely good. The child actor named Finn Han Zhao Xuan Su toward the end, I mean everything that he did was on point, I mean the tricks and his acting (dual character) was on point as well. This kid is only 12 years old! The martial arts, fantasy, man I wish I was born in that kind of life if it could be real. I loved those scenes. The visuals, OMG, I don't know how the producers came up with all of the actors/actresses flying in the air from here, there, and there but it was so tremendously good. The buildings... wow... I was so impressed. The soundtrack had me glued to the TV! Thank you to the writers of this drama, the Sword Snow Stride team (staff) who made it all happen.

Why did Allen Ren and Bai Liu pick this script!

Allen Ren is one of my favorite actors and Bai Liu is one of my favorite actresses. I don't have the slightest idea why the screenwriters wrote this the way they wrote this. I loved how the storyline started but I sense something was wrong when I got to Episode #16. From that point on, it just went downhill for me. I have never rated a Chinese Drama that featured Allen Ren or Bai Liu low., two top leading performers in the same drama that I became disappointed and embarrassed to view but I did and I'm sorry that I did. In the very last episode, the writers tried to clean it up but only for the last few minutes of it. I gave the actors/actresses a 10 rating because they did their best and were excellent in their parts. I will never watch another drama that makes the bad guys win. Kudos go to Allen Ren and Bai Liu for enduring a drama like this.

I apologized to the rest of the actors for my rough critique.

Cute!

I loved the storyline. All three main leads did very well. Zhao Ying Bo who played Hou Chi did very well. Although his profile picture on Mydramalist doesn't look like him. He was very handsome in this drama. I will research his dramas to catch more of his acting skills. The actor who played the Devil Lord had me laughing at times so he did well too. I won't comment on the actress who played Shi Xia, I have to think more about her. I loved the name, Shi Xia. The costumes were awesome, the set was a little offbeat except for one scene. The fantasy was there but not a whole lot. This will not be a rewatch for me.

This storyline was different and impeccable from other fantasies. I mean a tree and a human??? AND then there is GROOT! I'm just kidding.

Sally Jing who played Si Teng / Bai Ying did incredibly.
Vin Zhang who played Qin Fang, just 'unbelievable'! What a great actor he has become. He is one of my favorites that's for sure.

The fantasy and the visuals were on point. I couldn't find fault with any of it. The music kept my heart pumping and focused. This is the type of drama you can skip over episodes or you will be going back. The ending has its twist and turns that I threw my shoe at the TV. Nope! I'm not telling y'all the ending.

Ray Ma, I have seen his acting one time in Ice Fantasy, so I remember him and I love that CDrama. This was a cute story and I did love the storyline. The only thing I couldn't deal with is Ray Ma's character, the writers had Mowgli up and down breaking it off with Yang Zi's character, Ling Xi... which drove me crazy. I love the perkiness of Yang Zi the actress. She is one of my top leading Chinese actresses. Fu Meng Bo, Ming Ren, Huang Can Can, and Wang Zhen Er did very well in their characters. Another ending that had me confused but I got it unless she was hallucinating again. The sets were great! Music was okay, the fighting um had me saying "what fighting". No martial arts in this C Drama.

100% Awesome!

This was the longest KDrama Series that I watched. This was the first time that I didn't get bored in the middle of the drama and skipped to the last two episodes then go back to episodes that I skip. It had me focused all the way from the first episode through to the last episode. Suzy Bae you just made my Top 10 Female Actresses. Thank you, Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk for making this story interesting, exciting, romantic, emotional, and a lot of drama. Lee Jong Suk, wow just wow, everything you did in this KDrama performance made this very convincing, being humorous (which I loved the most), you are a star! LJS has them eyes with long lashes that shine bright too. *Love them eyeZ* The Romance chemistry was there between Suzy Bae and Lee Jong Suk... "Awesome".

When I give a 10 rating, it means that the storyline wouldn't have worked without all the cast, directors, producers, screenwriters (what a storyline, loved it) visual, wardrobe and etc. *bowing 3x's to everyone with much respect*!

Cute! Very well done!

I love the two female main leads. Gypsy Keerati Mahapreukpong who plays Khaopun, she did her thing, I believed that she was a ghost that's how great she was in this 16 episode series. Had me crying at the end. Then you have Noona Nuengtida Sophon who plays Jiew had me laughing with her energy in her character. Both main leads couldn't have pulled this off without the other. Pae Arak Amornsupasiri who played Artit, he made laugh as well, Jiew and Artit just thinking about the two of them I'm laughing. The minimal visual effects of the medium are awesome. The going into and out of the body was great with two main female leads. Overall, the visuals were perfect and not overly done. The handsome Nat Sakdatorn who plays Muadprin was believable in his character. He got them eyes I love! The rest of the cast, well, this storyline needed them as well. I loved the storyline but glad it wasn't 70 episodes. Thank you Writers! Thank you to the Oh My Ghost Team!

Sorry, didn't care too much for this Drama Series. At first, it was interesting but then I got bored. I was more disappointed that Wei Yingluo and Fuca Fuheng did not end up with one another. This story went completely to the left and did not come back to being right. A man can lead a country but a woman can destroy it or should I say women when they want what they want in this piece. This drama series was not a true romance story, there was no action but only deceitful power hungry women wanting to be the Empress. The only storyline I liked in this piece is that Wei Yingluo was trying to find out who her sister's killer was. It took over 60 episodes and 25 years later to find out who. I couldn't take it anymore.

NOTE: I gave this a very low rating and I see others have given it a 10-star rating... so let me rewatch it. I feel that I still feel the same way about how the story ends. I think I will give it a 2nd chance.

Since I decided to watch this a 2nd time. Since I said it wasn't the cast's fault of this storyline, I gave them a 10 which brings my rating up to 7. I have changed my mind to watch it a 2nd time. I just can't! lol

I really did like this drama. The only thing I have a problem with it is that they removed Kim JiSoo from his contract. The change of actors was very dramatic for me. KJS is not as tall as Na In Woo nor was he compatible with Kim So Hyun. I felt more chemistry with KJS with KSH. It's not that Na In Woo didn't play the character badly because he was good in it. NIW just overpowered KSH. I did love the ending not paying attention to who played who. I hated the fact that Lee Ji Hoon was killed off towards the end. I'm not the one who wrote the story. I guess all dramas don't have happy endings for the almost main leads who are support actors! The visuals were good, loved the martial art fighting. I will give the writer kudos and give it a 9 rating.

NOTE: Before you ask, I do know about the bullying of Kim JiSoo. That was many years ago and he apologized for it in writing, he didn't bully anyone since then and he didn't bully anyone in his acting career. I feel that he shouldn't have been removed from this KDrama. There was no proof of sexual harassment or assault, that was unfounded. I am a victim of bullying when I was in the Public School System.

2nd NOTE: Today on Sept 12, 2022, an article was written that Kim Ji Soo has disappeared from the public and that he may be doing military time. That all the accusations against Kim Ji Soo were false and the perpetrator admitted his accusations were made up. All other perpetrators followed the main perpetrator and their statements were false as well. Their maliciousness made Kim Ji Soo's life miserable and with this truth coming to light that he finds peace. I hope that the netizens would stop making further unnecessary comments about Kim Ji Soo. He didn't have to apologize for something he didn't do, but I am pretty sure that his lawyers told him that this would be best to calm the anger. In the Holy Word, it does say to apologize even when it is not your fault. I hope this is a learning lesson for those who want to fabricate about another person but it won't.

I love everything that Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan do in their acting career. The storyline was a perfect medical doctor and common girl romance. I can't say there was a competition between two women. Xiao Zhan's character knew what he wanted! I love when Yang Zi plays a character that is perky, that is just her! I loved the storyline. It is hard to lose someone you love to cancer. Been there and done that! I am so glad they didn't show the death of that character. The world is in a sad place already. There were no martial arts but that's okay this time. The actors/actresses who played the parents were astounding. All of the rest of the supporting actors/actresses played their parts well to tell this beautiful love story. I loved the visuals and there is one thing that I noticed... at the end I mean the very end where Xiao Zhan, Yang Zi's character was walking with their son, I remember my first Chinese Drama "Ashes of Love" the ending scene were similar. I will go back to watch that again for the 20th time.

AWESOME!

As I am watching this so far the visual effects are awesome. I am noticing the cast... I am seeing most of the cast are from the "Legend of Fuyao" and to see Yang Yang act among them in the Main Lead is so incredible. The action of gaming... unbelievable! This is a must-see! Yang Yang's other drama series Love O2O is about gaming too. This actor just might be on my Top 10 favorite actor list. I need to see more from Yang Yang. A lot of actors and actresses in this Drama Series and they all did great. There was no romance but only friendships that were made behind this game. I applaud the writer(s) and producers! Thank you!
