Watch this drama for the 2nd couple.

I really anticipated this drama when the posters and trailers came out. I guess I kind of set my standards pretty high after watching hit xianxias like TMOPB, Ashes of Love, and Love & Redemption. When I found out that this drama have only 36 episodes, I was kind of worried of how they're gonna tell the whole story and show all of her lifetimes (first red flag). But, I'm a sucker for Chinese dramas so I kept watching this drama (mainly for the 2nd couple).

Now I'm going to state what I like and what I dislike about this drama.

What I like:
- The 2nd couple's chemistry. This is probably the first time that I liked the 2nd couple MORE than the main couple. Their chemistry was on fire and I find myself squealing every time their scenes comes on. Their history/story was so interesting that it kills me every time I have to wait until their story unravels. The angst!
- The friendship of the trio. Dragon King, Xue Qian Xun, and Qing Qing's friendship is out of this world! Also, Dragon King's friendship with Immortal of Fate when he was still "nice". It's so sad when Immortal of Fate use XQX to fight against Dragon King.
- Female lead's 3rd life. Liu Ying's 3rd life as Feng Chen Yue has to be my favorite as it actually has a plot to it. I like how strong she is as she didn't need Dragon King's help that much.
- The bromance! I love the bromance moments between Dragon King and XQX! And QQ always having the honor of witnessing it.
- Deng Wei's natural acting. I find him very natural with his role. The way he can look so cold, but charming at the same time. I gotta add him to my list of favorite actors now. Considering this his first debut drama, he did really well! Hoping he will get more projects in the future as main lead.

What I dislike:
- The repetitive scenes, flashbacks, and story of the main couple. It gets to the point where it became boring. I find myself FF a lot of their scenes.
- I don't understand why the female lead never thought of asking Dragon King why he had to wait until their 4th life to be together (and she never finds out too?)
- Chemistry between the mains. I don't see or feel that much chemistry between female lead and Dragon King. They seem to have more chemistry with other characters that they interact with.
- No ulterior motive. The only character that has a goal was QQ. She was determined to get rid of the Meteor mark on her forehead. The other characters don't exactly know what they're doing. I know Dragon King's only goal was to protect Liu Ying, but wasn't he doing something else before meeting her?
- Logic? (but then again this is a drama) Liu Ying in her 4th life has powers. When she was climbing up a mountain, she slipped and fell, and kept falling... she could've easily fly. Or when Dragon King was trying to imitate the cat demon, can't he just say that it was a cat demon? (but that scene was hilarious).

Overall, this is an okay drama. I'll give it a good for the 2nd couple. It is more of a lower budget drama compared to TMOPB, AoL, L&R. If you like a light hearted, xianxia romace drama then I recommend. It has some memorable moments and funny scenes if you like a good laugh.
