1000 litre blood shed through spitting and coughing up blood.
I wished the series was summed up in 50 ep instead of 59 eps. By the end we have seen Si Feng spit out so much blood and be on the edge of death that it started to lose its danger factor, and the fact that Xuan Ji and he goes back and forth so often also made it lose a bit of the magic. I believe that is how the story slightly derailed. But still I managed to finish the drama instead of completely dropping it so it still was a decent drama.I will say the stand out acting for me was Si Feng and Ling Long.

Almost done. I need sleep! ???
I'm binge watching this series because it's just that good. I had it on my Amazon watch list for at least a month and honestly the first 2 episodes kind of put me off because one characters kept whining and I thought, not 50+ episodes of her ass 🤣😂.But everywhere I looked everyone's recommending this drama so I said okay let me give it another shot and I am hooked!!🥰🥰
I've watched over 30 episodes in probably 4 days because I'm home recuperating from hip surgery and can't get out much.
My roommate asked if I was leaning Chinese🤣😂.
So many plot twists and the actors do a good job relating to their characters.
Can hardly wait to finish!! Thank you Viki, Amazon, Netflix, and YouTube for bringing us Cdramas❤️❤️❤️!

Enjoyable although very cliché
An immensely enjoyable drama but not without its faults.Here are some of the positives and negatives for me personally that I’ve noticed while watching!
+ comparatively fast pacing for a xianxia (especially at the beginning)
+ great actors
+ some reversed stereotypes (ex: the FL is mostly saving the ML)
+ starcrossed lovers
+ surprisingly nuanced characters —> not all cultivators are good, not all demons are evil
- soo many overdone tropes (spoon feeding each other, the ML always catches the FL, so much blood spitting it’s getting funny (and difficult to take the MLs suffering seriously) etc)
- I’m starting to get sick of the overly childlike behaviour of FLs in Xianxia (although here it does make more sense and she starts changing)

Don't expect too much
I have visited this website for drama informations a plenty of times, but this drama really urged me to create an account and post a review. I can't help but post my review because I don't want others to end up like me (quite disappointed 😞).Because of the reviews and high rating of this drama, I started to watch it, luckily it's available on YouTube.
Starting off with the first episode, visual effects are really nice that it hooked me. Then comes the start of story which is interesting, but I am not quite convinced with how they come up with "without six senses" basically it isn't really "without six senses" because she can see and hear. I was actually curious how would she live "without six senses" (how can she communicate with others) but dhurrr, she can actually see and hear. Continuing, because Zhang Yuxi only got the role for supporting, I was actually expecting more for this drama. For me, the acting skills of the main leads are just so-so, I mean that they have the potential and I'm sure they can cultivate it to be better. There are parts in this drama where scenes are abruptly cut then jumped on a completely different scene that got me wondering if I have mistakenly tapped forward, but I really didn't.
It was interesting at first few episodes but as I watch the next episodes, it's like I'm just watching it for the sake of just to "complete" it. From 1-12 then jumped to the last episode.
I don't think I will continue to watch this, because I find it quite boring.
P.s. I find this is not really a review because it contains much of my personal opinions that are quite biased on my taste lol.
But honestly, If you really want to watch this drama don't start to expect highly so you won't get too disappointed.

10 LIFES , 1000 YEARS AND 3 REALMS .... I ONLY LOVE YOU
fell in love with cheng yi by this masterpiece ... he made the character alive .the story of drama was really epic and heart touching, they were many misunderstanding between the leads but it solved out in the end and because of those misunderstanding their feelings for each other got stronger in the end.
there were arc of their past lives i hope it got more scenes or a bit more story of their past lives. the story of FL made me feel sad like how she was created and become war god and do things she doesn't want to.
i like how ML sacrifice everything for FL and things he did for her without her knowing. it was very well written as well . how they show the past life of both the actors was very good.
the cast have done a very good job in doing there role , i liked all the supporting role especially fox and monkey ( you know)
when they were all together to do a job was really a fun thing to watch. i didn't skip anything in whole show.
all the character have their own story to tell and each one was good .
i definitely didn't like hao chen at all. i hate his character very very much ... on the other hand i liked the actor more . he done well in portraying a character which was this bad.
the ost of the drama was really good and it's hits different on later episodes.
if you are looking for a drama with great love story , little adventure, amazing supporting characters , hateful villain , great ost then it is for you.
(P.S. TYR NOT TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO ANY CHARACTER SOON BECAUSE YOU WILL FELL IN LOVE WITH TENG SHE......)

A Timeless Masterpiece of Love, Chemistry, and Emotion
Love and Redemption is a flawless combination of breathtaking visuals, exceptional acting, and an unforgettable chemistry between the lead characters. From start to finish, the story is beautifully crafted, with each moment resonating deeply, leaving a lasting impact. The bond between the leads is unparalleled, their chemistry so genuine and powerful that it enhances every scene, making their love story feel truly timeless.The emotional depth of the drama stays with you long after the final episode, making it impossible to forget. Additionally, the music is unforgettable, perfectly complementing the narrative and elevating the emotional weight of each scene. It’s a drama that lingers in your heart, a masterful blend of love, sacrifice, and the undeniable connection between two souls.

I'm glad I came back.
I started watching this drama and stopped after the first 10 episodes. The story was hard to follow, and some of the reviews I read indicated an ending I wasn't sure I wanted to invest watching 59 episodes for. But after a few days of not finding something else to watch, I came back, and am I glad I did!These fantasy themes are not for me - but I liked the actors, so I gave it a shot. Loved the ML - loved him! And OMG when he spread those golden wings - he looked very godly to me!! The chemistry between he & the FL was really believable (although she was annoying in the beginning - and if she had a dollar for every time she called his name, she would have been rich!) The supporting actors were great too, and the relationships between them was very endearing.
Star of the show, the Flying Snake - Teng She! LOVED his character. That hiss in his sentences was just terrific. And the most annoying character was definitely the Silver Snake. What an ass! I wasn't even sorry for her in the end - because she deserved everything she got - in fact, I'd even say she didn't get the karma that she deserved. And I skipped past some of the disgusting behavior of the 'seniors' and sect-leaders. For a bunch of leaders and supposedly wise people, they were dumb and stupid and small-minded.
How many times could people be wrong about the ML's character? Especially the FL!!! I loved how the truth finally got thrown at her in full force. I rewatched that part a couple of times. They could have given the ending a little more time though... after 59 episodes we deserved a little more than 5 minutes of togetherness as a group.
I think I would definitely watch this again, but I would fast-forward through the fight scenes and some of the draggy parts, just to see the ending.

Very good. But can be better
This drama is almost perfect- from visuals, cast, acting, story. What I dont like in this drama is that they give too much emphasis to Yu Si Feng. What I mean is that they make the side characters too dumb especially those seniors of the sect. Like isn`t it obvious that though si feng is a demon, he meant no harm? Well that is my only complaint. Everything else is okay. The best part of the story in this drama for me is the revelation of who really is Rahu Ketu. Very unexpected. Love the plot twist. Second favourite part of the drama is when si feng got a view of his previous nine lives. Aww cried a lot. Want someone like him ahahha.Was this review helpful to you?

Worth Watching
I actually wasn't planning to watch this until a friend highly recommended it and I was like okay, I'll try a few eps first and see whether I like it, and if worst comes to worst, I'll just drop it (even though I hate dropping series halfway).Well... turns out I ended up loving it, and is definitely up there as one of the best cdramas I've seen so far. The pacing for this was great - I know I've said this in other reviews before, but for fantasy dramas, it usually takes me around 10 or so eps before I become interested and the plot even becomes interesting, but right off the bat for this drama, I was pulled in.
The acting was top notch for the most part, especially for the two main leads, and the chemistry between them was undeniable. In fact, I didn't expect to, but I grew attached to almost all characters and couples on the show, which is surprising for me because usually it's one or the other. However, there were times when the misunderstandings between the characters made me want to rip my hair out from frustration (hello... episode 42 which took me forever and a half to finish) but the payoff in the end was worth it.
I didn't have many issues with this show, but maybe with the character and acting for Ruo Yu which was uh... not great and not believable. Luohou Jidu acting as Xuanji also completely took me out (as in it gave me major LOLs) and made that whole last arc maybe a bit unintentionally funny for me.
All in all, this show is definitely worth a watch, and the hype is well deserved.

Love & Redemption
I started watching this drama because of Cheng Yi, I first watched him on MLC.As an early drama for him, his acting here is quite good, especially his facial expressions, eyes, and body movements.
The whole storyline is enough to make you very annoyed & angry because there are too many misunderstandings & stupid characters.
This drama really drains my feelings, but I like it.
We are swept away in the story of Xuanji & Sifeng who are looking for their true identity, because at first they were both innocent people until finally they could find a lot of love in the world, love for their family, partner and friends.
It's a bit unfortunate that ML's character here is made to suffer so much & actually I've never liked a male character in a drama as a reference for my ideal partner until I saw Yu Sifeng. I really like him T.T
He is very, very kind & sincere towards the people around him even though he has been disappointed many times.
The graphics are outstanding.
One thing that makes it hard for me to forget about this drama is the soundtrack, especially the one entitled 步崖 by 李琦.

A reference in terms of xianxia with an amazing plot twist
I have to say that this drama continues to be amazing, even 5 years later. It continues to be one of the most interesting I have watched!The OST, the story and pace are amazing!
The actors, specially the ML, are great, although I would prefer another actress for the FL, she was ok.
The production would be good, if it wasn't for those masks from Lize Palace, how was that even approved? The masks are so bad, I could do better ones at home.
What matters the most, is the plot, it gives you the right amount of sweet and sorrow, excitement and angst, everything well-packed with different characters and storylines. There are two things happening, the xuxia part and the xianxia, so you get all mixed up for the end, which is good
And this drama has a plot twist ever, that is amazing, I would never have thought about it. I really thought she would be a child that receive the spirit, but I would never ever imagine what Bailing did. So, considering this, the xianxia part is shocking.
About the end (spoiler alert)
The end is good for the main actors, but not what I expected, mainly because of Bailing, this part makes me so mad!!
How came everyone just forgive Bailing like that? Come on, that is ridiculous.
In most dramas, if you commit half of Bailing "mistakes", you lose your immortality and never can transcend to the heavens again. He should be condemned forever, throw into the void, anything more serious than what happened.
Here, the emperor says the bad things he did, he removes his spiritual powers and let's live go on? Even with the possibility of coming back to heavens to "listen the emperor teachings again". I can't believe! Man, you should be banned from heaven forever.
I really get the "don't seek revenge thing", but in this case, I completely disagree. At least he should suffer what he did to the others, that would be JUSTICE, not revenge.
What makes me annoyed is that everyone is sorry for HIM? Crying and saying don't go. What about everyone he killed, all the bad things he did? The genocide? All the lies and manipulation? How come no one is angry and mad?? This is unfair, people there are hypocrites.
Even the emperor hopes Bailing comes back? I'm so mad. It looks he cares more about Bailing than his only son!!!!
I have never seen a more light punishment for someone that truly deserved it, that makes me annoyed.

Appropriately titled - LOVE & REDEMPTION
What a fitting title for this title "LOVE & REDEMPTION"!! If someone told you its good, it's even better. You will fall in love with the ML and ache for him. The sacrifices he will make in the name of Love.....OMG........countless women who watches this drama will ask "where is my Se Fung???". Cheng Yi played Se Fung so well. Incredibly handsome, strong & supportive at the same time.You will get frustrated at the FL, but the writing is so good that the fustrations will be well worth it. When finally everything is revealed and she finally realizes how wrong shes been, as they say, Pay back is a bitch!
I recently fell in love with the actor Liu Xue Yi, who plays a villain in this drama. You must check him out in Love at Night and Qing Luo. He is incredibly handsome. But shows you what a great actor he is because I absolutely hated his guts in this drama.
The rest of the supporting cast is all wonderful as well. I loved ALL of them. kudos go to Zhang Yu Xi, who I think did an incredible job. I was very impressed with her acting and look forward to future work. Music & Ost is also very good, really fits the mood especially during the many intense fighting scenes.
For those like me who is looking for a HEA ending drama......YES, this is it! Its got romance, friendship, heart ache, villains, magic, monsters but most of all....Love & Redemption! Strap your seat belt on, its going to be a wild ride, ENJOY!
