Not fully cultivated - Had potential!

I like Bambi, believe she is a strong actress, in a sense, she always understand the assignment she's given. She's also beautiful! Dylan is handsome, and I like watching him on the screen. I couldn't understand why I just couldn't see the spark in the two. They're both beautiful and look good together! I'm only watching for them, but the love story is bland as others have said. Just what is the Dragon King fighting so hard for? What about Liu Ying was so dear to him, except that she was the first to care for him when he was injured? That development had no substance and she reincarnates over and over just to repeat without getting anywhere in the relationship. After finishing the drama, I realize Liu Ying's character isn't that fully fleshed out. She's merely a passenger in the story. Long Yan makes the decision for their love, and she's mainly unaware until the very end.

The beautiful sentiment of love separated by death and reincarnation is interesting and bittersweet. But you couldn't really feel that desperation with the main characters. It's like they were just telling us without showing us. Or the performance just fell very flat.

The second couple has more spark than the main. Deng Wei (Xue Qian Xun) is a stronger actor than Dylan Wang. I believe he was able to do his part well, overshadowing Dragon King. Qing Qing played by Pan Mei Ye is a cute and loyal character, but I can't stand her sometimes when she's on the screen too long, especially her scenes with Xue Qian Xun. She's adorable but annoyingly snobby at times.

I was looking forward to this drama from the get-go! Unfortunately, it hasn't hit any expectations. The music is dreamy, and I guess one of the elements that I really like about the drama.
