tips de como ser atrapada constantemente

Me encantó la serie, desde el primer episodio quedé enganchada, excelente química de los personajes principales, el vestuario, la historia y como se iba entrelazando. Reí, lloré, me frustré, me viví la serie y eso para mi es un motivo para recomendarla, si una serie no me genera emoción para qué perder mi tiempo.

Encontré gracioso como los personajes villanos iban muriendo, como si la producción realmente quería salir de ellos en la historia. Me gustó mucho ver el desarrollo del vínculo entre los personajes principales, ambos independientes, fuertes e inteligentes que toman la decisión de elegirse.

Lo que dejó mucho que desear fue la producción y los últimos 4 capítulos que fueron demasiados acelerados, me quedé en shock con el final por lo que me motivó hacer mi primer review.

La recomiendo por la historia, la actuación y la música.

Finalmente completata!!

Serie appena completata.
La trama non è delle più originali: il solito passepartout spazio temporale che porta la storia dalla realtà alla fantasia.
Nella trama si trovano i soliti cliché (ma non è per questo motivo che forse piacciono?).
La trama è sviluppata con intelligenza e, a volte, con troppo dovizia di particolari che annoiano lo spettatore. La sceneggiatura non ha fatto un buon lavoro dilungando troppo la serie non aggiungendo molto alla storia, come ad esempio le gelosie delle varie principesse, le storie delle madri dei protagonisti principali credute morte e che poi compaiono, i tornei dei paesi confinanti, le cure mediche... Avrei voluto vedere un maggior approfondimento della storia d'amore principale che invece scivola gradatamente in secondo piano con un finale veloce e deludente.
La location e i set della storia sono molto ben fatti e risaltano il contesto delle vicende.
Le musiche sono apprezzabili.
I protagonisti principali Zhang Han e Zhi Xu Don sono molto bravi nella loro interpretazione voluta dalla regia ma avrebbero potuto rendere migliore la storia d'amore con maggiore spazio a momenti romantici o di flirt.
Ho trovato divertenti le storie d'amore minori delle coppie Situ Hao Nan /Nangon Qianqian e Baili Wei Shen/Xiao Sheng.
Mi hanno annoiato le madri ricomparse e le loro storie, gli amori/gelosie unilaterali di principi e principesse (ne bastava una ma fatta bene).
Il finale mi ha deluso per la brevità del tempo dedicato. Mi sarei aspettata un finale con maggiore suspance come in "Dreaming back to the Qing Dynasty".
Lo rivedrei? No, troppe puntate non interessanti, per me.
voto complessivo 7.5/10

A Solid 9/10

Modern time character meets ancient China.

Fateful love . presents an intriguing premise: an illegitimate daughter thrust into the world of political intrigue and forced to rely on the protection of the God of War, Jun Bei Ye. The story promises a captivating blend of romance, action, and political drama, but unfortunately, it falters due to its rushed pacing and a plot that feels overly ambitious.

The initial encounter between Han Zi Jing and Jun Bei Ye is compelling. Their contrasting personalities, the forced circumstances that bind them, and the burgeoning romance between them all hold promise. LOVE-LOVE THE COMEDIC PART. Fighting scenes are well choreographed. However, the narrative quickly expands to encompass a multitude of tribes and kingdoms, each with their own agendas and motivations. This creates a sense of overwhelming complexity that ultimately detracts from the core story.

While the main plot involving the islanders and the villains is engaging, it gets lost amidst the constant introduction of new factions and characters. The story feels fragmented, with too many threads vying for attention. The result is a sense of ambiguity and a lack of depth in character development. The potential for a compelling exploration of the relationships between Han Zi Jing and Jun Bei Ye, and their individual journeys of self-discovery, is unfortunately overshadowed by the sprawling nature of the plot.

The acting, particularly from the lead actors, is commendable. The chemistry between the female lead (FL) and the male lead (ML) is undeniable, and their performances effectively convey the emotional complexities of their relationship. However, the direction and blocking sometimes feel uneven, resulting in scenes that lack fluidity and impact.

The visual effects, while not groundbreaking, are generally acceptable. The initial scenes are visually appealing, but the introduction of numerous tribes and kingdoms leads to a decline in visual quality. The visuals become increasingly generic and forced, detracting from the overall aesthetic of the drama.

The OST is pleasant, but the recurring background music feels out of place in certain scenes. The music often clashes with the tone of the drama, creating a jarring effect. A more nuanced approach to the background music would have enhanced the emotional impact of the story.

Overall,
Fateful Love is a promising drama with a captivating premise. Salute to Hans Zhang for carrying all the weight of giving the drama justice and the reason to watch it. However, the ambitious scope of the plot ultimately hinders its potential. The story feels rushed and fragmented, with too many characters and factions vying for attention. While the acting and chemistry between the leads are strong, the uneven direction and the decline in visual quality detract from the overall experience. With a tighter focus on the core plot and a more cohesive narrative, Fateful Love could have been a truly exceptional drama.

It turns out it was a dream

I liked the series in general. However, as in every series, a frenzy of nonsense took over in the last episodes. Chinese scriptwriters can't finish the series they start well in a beautiful, flawless, error-free, logical way. Constant mistakes, wrong things, the guy being a jerk, so what, I did it, it happened. They act like this. They think that it is watched anyway. Or there are many series. Which one should we do properly? All of them are ridiculous. They may think like this. I won't go into all of them, but Bei Yue's mother, who was later found to be a mother, did everything she could. Such a disgrace was watched by everyone. Similarly, the minister in Nanzaho. He did everything he could with full confidence. If the king of Nanzaho threw a knife at a man, he would kill him, they watched. You are the king, brother. All the men are yours. He took you there like a puppet. Then he plays with the ball in his hand. Hit one of you, bring him down. So is this logical? Nobody touches him. The man is making a horse play. They don't agree. I mean, they don't approve of what this guy does, but they watch. The others, the Prince and Princess on the other side, are also struggling with all their being. You'll say, are you stuck here? It's already fantastic. Look, they're dead. They went to the other world. They got the codes from their mother. They came back. They defeated the Minister of Nanzhao. For example, why aren't you stuck on this? I mean, which one should I catch up with? Our scriptwriter is crazy. Come on, add some reality to these series, or fly away when they start so that we don't watch them. They start right. They end wrong. They progress wrong.
I gave the series a 7.5 grade. Actually, I was going to give it a 6, but I gave it to the acting and effort again. I liked the cast. Zhu Xu Dan carried the series. It was good. He also acted well in the action scenes. He did well. Well done. Zhang Han's experience was enough, he mastered his role with his charisma. Yao Chi was very striking. I liked it very much. This role suits him. Hai Ling left halfway through. But he was successful. I don't know if Ryan Ren always plays like this, but I thought he was a little sloppy. It must be due to his role. But he grinned a little. Hao Xiang, Sun Yi, Li Yu Xuan, Luo Shi Qi, Ai Ran, the prince who plays Fei Yan's brother, I couldn't find his name on the list. These were the actors that caught my attention. I liked the acting, direction, costumes. I didn't like the script. I didn't like the writer. Would I watch it again? NO, Would I recommend it? NO. You did a bad thing to the beautiful series, scriptwriter. It could have been much better. A little attention, a little care, a little reality, at least possibility. If you want, check if what I wrote makes sense. Then make it a script. Let me recommend it.

mmmm needs better plot stories

I was engrossed in this story because it looked better than other 'tropey' cdramas I watch....SPOILER ALERT!!!!.....the FL is always in trouble, needs help or is getting beaten up, and the ML always always always is LATE TO HER RESCUE....Scriptwriters need to carry an epic looking drama on right to the end with some consideration for repetition, plot plausibility and relatedness - plot ingenuity - and so on as an english speaking country fan of CDRAMA only a few have cut it for me in terms of quality screenwriting and production - TenMiles of Peach Blossoms is one...Legend of Fuyao another ...Princess Agents too, Back from the Brink, The Blood of Youth too and unforgettably - The Untamed another....Wulin Heroes, as well....I got tired of the female lead always getting hurt and then being rescued late by her hero/husband

Action & story mostly deliver on this entertaining but unevenly paced show

Bambi Zhu seems to have been very quiet in the last couple of years since her last lead role in Cute Programmer. From the start of Fateful Love, it's nice to see her back at something she's quite good at: being a badass martial artist. Also showcased is a previously underutilized talent - she's funny!

Zhu plays an elite military trained member of a scientific expedition, looking for new medical resources in some un-named jungle. An accidental fall into a cave leads her to discover a mysterious magical blade which transports her into a fictional historical China & into the body of a high ranking minister's daughter. Believing the dagger holds the key to returning to her world, she starts the hunt for it, only to find it in the possession of a royal prince.

While some body switch shows have the main character losing her memory & all of her skills, Han ZiQing remains fully aware of her previous existence, while gradually gaining the memories of her new life. She tries to hide her skills while secretly using them to find a way back to her world in the present. This creates comic encounters which might not seem very original but are deftly delivered by the cast. More importantly, one can develop sympathy for the FL & be interested in how she will get through her predicament as she gets more & more involved in the affairs of this strange new world.

I wonder why Zhu hasn't been cast with higher profile co-stars lately & this production looks rather low budget. But that doesn't mean the show isn't good. Although the ML is a veteran & I recognize very few other cast members, each delivers a decent performance & the story moves along smoothly.

At 40 eps, however, it's a long show as the FL just goes from one mishap to the other when almost everyone she meets tries to kill her. You forget what happened where without gaining any significant developments in the character, a sign the show is too long. The show only moves because of all the action scenes. The tone changes from lighter to darker & final 10 eps seem to suffer from choppy editing as battles come & go with the same footage & I sometimes didn't know who was fighting whom. Characters' motivations & moods change suddenly with very little build up so here the drama became rushed. Han Ziqing's story also seems to be pushed aside when you'd think she should be getting closer to solving the riddle to getting back to her world. And as bad ass as she started, she seemed to need getting rescued by her prince an awful lot, until she unlocked the door to back to her present at the very end.

All in all, the show was entertaining but an obviously long & complex story was unevenly paced especially at the end.

Fateful Love (2024) is a romance fantasy wuxia with Hans Zhang as Jun Bei Yue / 4th Prince and Zhu Xu Dan as Han Zi Qing as the leading couple. The series plot has too many attacks on the leading lady and the lead male is not always there on time to save her which made the plot repetitive and unnecessary with an incredible amount of characters that wanted her dead. The leading lady was capable and she did a good job performing her character as a strong and intelligent female lead. The male lead also did well performing his character so, where is the problem? Unnecessary characters that disrupted the flow of the story, the leading couple lacked romantic chemistry, and the end, although they seemed like they ended together, was not satisfying at all; he didn’t seem like he recognized her after saving her from the cave that she fell in at the beginning nor did he give any indication that he knew who she was when she embraced him, so much for a “fateful love”. This is a series where good and experienced actors seemed to just want to finish the drama and move on as fast as they can.

Poison

The plot fascinated me. This prince has expressly chosen as his bride, against everyone's will, the only woman they don't want.
She came from the future and is a fighter and not the submissive girl that the family expects. The prince loves her temperament so different from the others.
I liked how the prince looks at her with heart eyes and pride and trusts her. Their chemistry increases episode after episode. Nice pairing!
Why are all the competitions between princesses and not prince? Women must have so many skills!
A little boring that all the people want to poison her.
40 episodes were perhaps too many and also all these people spitting blood were definitely too many.
I really liked the ending.

Might be fun if you're into silly stuf

This is my first review. The FL is strong and has military training so fight scene is done well. Lack of good acting makes she appears rude throughout the show. The ML is quite good with acting and always defend the FL. He even forgave her after stabbing him spontaneously. The chemistry between the main couple is average. The revenge scene is so satisfying. It is refreshing to see bad guy always get punish after FL start to appear. Costume is pretty and reflect the variety of country in the drama.

The downside is firstly, the story telling and awkward script. The story flow is not smooth and the script is all over the place. Secondly the bgm sound. Why you gotta put a funny bgm over a serious scene? Also the scene where they meet the king is weird because they didn't show proper kneeling in front of the king.
Watch it just because i wanna see what more ridiculous things they wanna bring next.
Ok bye till next drama~

I've watched until the end because I was intrigued on where the story was going but in the end I still felt the story was lacking something that I can't understand, FL always getting into trouble for no reason whatsoever, ML never around when FL needs him, everyone else does more protection than the ML, mad at myself for watching for so long
