This Drama Series, I believe is the best I've seen in that the two Main Characters portrayed an emotion called "Agape Love". Thanks to Ethan Juan and Yang Mi, these two leads and two of my top 10 actors and actress, made this believable. The chemistry between Ethan Juan and Yang Mi was outstanding. The cast, the main leads, and the extra cast made this an epic storyline from the beginning episode to the ending episode. My emotions really ran high in this one anger, sad, joy, then balling my eyes out. The music didn't help at all! What I mean is the music for this drama piece made my emotions high and low. What great music for my ears! Ethan Juan and Yang Mi made this story as if it were a true story. Unbelievable!

I want to thank all the cast, the producers, the directors, the visual effects, the musicians and music creators, the makeup artists, the costumes... All of it! I give you your due respect! Awesome!

I want to thank the screenwriters for bringing awareness to rape.

I think I already wrote a review for this already, but don't see it.

It is outright astounding and brilliant, too.

The storyline with the present day was brilliant! I have a question for the Hair Team, was that Raymond Lam's real hair in the last episode? Anyways, The storyline didn't go back n forth as some do. I did take a point off of the storyline rating because you had Tina Tang play DongG kind of wavering at times in the personality of the character. If I could have another kid I would name him "Daišan", love that name. The costumes helped me get into the characters of that era, which is very good. I didn't notice any background music to busy being focused on the storyline but still rate it at 8. I loved the other characters of the 3 brothers but then I saw Qu Chu Xiao towards the end, he is one of my fav actors. Those eyes of his... unt uh uh. Thank you Rule the World team for a marvelous Drama Series.

The storyline was great. I was very happy with the happy ending! It's too bad that almost every character who had loved one was killed. This Drama series really attacked the Fathers in this one. I knocked a half point for that reason. That was the only thing that I felt was wrong with this drama series. LJK was right on point with this character and always made it his own. Nam Sang Mi also played her part very well. I did feel somewhat of a little chemistry between the two leads. The Martial Arts were outstanding. Thank you to all the cast, writer(s), directors, music, and the rest of the team for this project.

Note: Does anyone notice the bounce in Lee Joon Qi's walk. lol. His eyes and that walk are his signatures!

I have to give the writer(s) their props in making this Drama Series! I have seen Wallace Huo play some serious martial art drama acting in other Drama Series and Movie that I've never seen him play in a romantic comedy. I laughed so hard in some of the scenes and in reality, I needed that laugh so THANK YOU WALLACE HUO for showing me a different side of you. The story in this Drama, I loved it! I'm glad that I was able to watch another actor play in this romantic comedy, Huang Ming, because when he played in the "Legend of Fuyao" as the half brother of Wu Ji, he played in a scene that molested Fuyao, and I hated HIM because he played it so believable. This Drama series showed a softer side of him. I'm a Rape Survivor!

Thank you, to all the team of "Perfect Couple", I enjoyed it and will rewatch it.

Wow, I'm enamored with Esther Yu's performance in "Fairy and the Devil," especially alongside Dylan Wang, and my admiration for her only grows as she shares the screen with Xu Kai in "Sword and Fairy"– my three favorite actors! Where do I even begin to express my enthusiasm for this Chinese Drama "Sword and Fairy"?

Esther's portrayal is simply adorable; she embodies the character with such charm that if I had a daughter, I'd hope she'd be just like her. The intricate weaving of the storyline by the writers is truly commendable. A heartfelt thank you to the writers for their incredible work!

Let's talk about Xu Kai – OMG, not only did he flawlessly deliver lines for two characters, but he also brought a third one to life without uttering a single word (saying that metaphorically)! The seamless production of scenes featuring all three Xu Kais on screen is a testament to the phenomenal work of the screen production team. Xu Kai, your portrayal of two characters is nothing short of extraordinary – I applaud you wholeheartedly.

Esther Yu faced a similar challenge, memorizing lines for one character and bringing her to life with such grace. Again, a big thank you to the screen producer for skillfully presenting two Esthers in one scene. The love between the two characters was beautifully depicted, and I found myself rooting for them till the very end. Speaking of which, that final scene left me wanting more – writer, what was that? I yearned for them to embrace each other with open arms!

The supporting cast, who stood by the two leads, also deserve recognition for their remarkable performances. Every actor and actress breathed life into their roles, making the story truly come alive for me. From the captivating set to the exquisite costumes, the stunning martial arts sequences to the enchanting animation – every aspect of the production was executed with perfection.

Once again, a heartfelt thank you to everyone involved for a job well done. This drama wouldn't have been a perfect 10 for me without the dedication and talent of every member of the cast and crew.

This is a Re-watch Review

I re-watched and understood the movie in July of 2022. I did like the storyline but loved the visuals, especially the underground-type vault. The First time I watched this was Sept 20, 2021. Mickey played one crazy Duke Qiu Zi Liang and was very believable. I just love Cheng Yi... I loved him in The Promise of Chang’an, Love and Redemption, The Lost Tomb 2, Noble Aspirations II, and Noble Aspirations. Can hardly wait for Noble Aspirations III. China Entertainment is stopping and banning a lot of Chinese Dramas. I will feel really sad if they stop Noble Aspirations III. I wasn't crazy about the ending, I cried.

This was very long, I mean long. I took a point off the storyline because I felt bad for the actress Zhang Yu Xi (now I know where they got the name Yu'er)who died, was injured, and got kicked out of the palace so many times. Poor Cheng Yi dying throughout the whole storyline. The way they performed, they did it so well. A lot of martial art is the best for me. Did Cheng Yi lose weight for this drama, he looked really thin. This drama was more of a mystery of who did it which made it interesting. A lot of killing which I did not care for especially of children. The visuals, music, and costumes were okay. Of course like I always say the story couldn't be complete without all the other actors and actresses so I applaud them.

NOTE: Youtube has this Drama which is a similar story but not quite under the same name "The Mortal Samsara", a Chinese Drama starring Zhang Yu Xi. Don't get it confused with the new Fantasy drama The Mortal SamSara- Xianxia Fantasy Drama starring Yangzi

Rape Awareness

I really absolutely like this drama! Hu Yi Tian did a wonderful job portraying Shen Qing Juan. He was brilliant in the part he had playing a character who had a mental disorder. I applaud him. Hu Yi Tian (I love his name) stands at 6.2 ft ., wow, he had to play basketball. Looking at the height of Xing Fei who stands at 5.5 Ft., wow what a difference. Her head came to his chest. Dang, I would be a child standing next to him. Xing Fei did extremely well being almost a foot shorter than her lead actor. So cute. Xing Fei was born in Mongolia where my ancestors began, I was happy about that. This story hits home with me as a kidnap and rape survivor. I am so happy that they brought awareness of Rape to the forefront of this drama. I was a little perturbed when they did not show the outcome of a serial rapist. The visuals were perfect. I am thanking all the support actors/actresses because without them the story wouldn't be complete. oh yes, I have to see more Hu Yi Tian... he is so handsome and a brilliant actor.

Emotions: Anger

I was going to give this a low rating when I became angry with the writers in the last two episodes. I mean crap, you have me focused for 16 episodes with everything that was good, loving, fighting, protection of others... and you do a left turn into traffic run a red light hit pedestrians. The Pedestrians would be those who are watching this KDrama. I mean WHYYYY??? WRITERS... why did you have to go there? I'm in tears not because of the Drama... I'm crying because you left me out in the rain with no jacket on and it's freezing. The two main leads who played the palace maid and the Crown Prince... Lee Jun Ho OMG, he is fine as he wanna be... them muscles, those abs... He was so convincing in this drama, a very skilled actor. Lee Se Young who played Sung Deok Im was also convincing when she was in her role. Right now, I am mad at the writers because I was going to give this a 10 just for keeping my focus, and you kicked my focused self to the curb.

Yang Zi is one of my top Chinese actresses but in this storyline, I felt this part wasn't made for her. Most may agree with me or NOT. Is just my observation. The stories of all the people that needed help, I can understand. We do need psychiatry in our society in this world today. I have had my own issues after all nobody is perfect. I wished that psychiatry had a 6th sense to help others because we surely need it. I love the romance part between Yang Zi and Bo Ran... it was quiet. It take me a while to watch after episode 30 for some reason I just couldn't get into it but I did. Thank you for the ending! yayyy No suicide deaths!

Xu Kai's main character Li Xuan, I can't say enough about Xu Kai, I have already said a lot in his previous dramas. I just love him! Wu Jia Yi's main character Su You Lian is Not my first time seeing her either. I love how Su You Lian caused so much trouble and fell in love at the same time. I love the strong woman character she played. I love seeing this actress. Zhou Jun Chao support plays the character, Xiao Feng Ming, wow did he play one heck of a mean demon for being a puppet? I was impressed. Li Jun Chen who played Yu Feng Mu Lord have mercy, I couldn't keep my eyes off his eyes. What beautiful eyes! wow. His acting was very good and calm.

The storyline was awesome. The visuals were phenomenal! I love the underwater storyline. I love the martial arts and the fight scenes with all the fantasies of magic. Sometimes I wish we lived in that type of world. The story writer to great in this storyline. All the actresses/actors, stand-ins, and extras made this story happen. Thanks to all the production team, makeup, costumes, and structure sets... THANK YOU!

I'm on an Allen Ren kick... What a fabulous actor! Ren playing the character of Xu Xuan was absolutely believable. My eyes stayed focused on his acting. I loved everything about him and he is now on my Top 10 list of Chinese Actors. I am going to watch everything he has done. Yang Zi is another beautiful and perky actress, I love her, she has been on my top ten Chinese actress list since her first drama Ashes of Love. This character Bai Yao Yao / Xiao Bai was perfect for her. Mao Zi Jun, I want to see more of him and I feel that I have. He did really well but it shocked me to see him bald. Li Man who played "Green Snake" Xiao Qing, I love her! This role was also perfect for her. I wished that the story kept her... shh not going to give it away.
Since this was in 2018 the technical visuals, at times you can see it was real, but that's okay because I just focused on the story. I loved the storyline. The martial arts, fantasy, visuals, the dragons, were all excellent. Thank you to everyone who participated in this drama.

I loved this storyline and I will be watching "Go Go Squid" part 1. I love robotics and I have never seen this sport before. I love it and wished we had technology while I was in high school. I mean we had computers but they were not in the homes yet. Anyway, I loved the storyline. I mean who would want a man to love one woman for 10 years? I definitely would. This drama had a calming effect on my mind well except for the competition. I was revved up even though I knew that it was only a story.
The two main leads: Hu Yi Tian who played Wu Bai (DT) was tall and handsome for sure. When he was wearing that wedding suit OMG the muscles in his thighs showed through. I need to see more of this actor. He was believable and made the story seem real.

Li Yi Tong who played Dt. Appledog did a great job. She was also believable in her character! I love some of the outfits she wore. I felt this character was somewhat tomboyish. That is me!

So Glad that the Actor/Actress YangZi and Li Xian were brought back to get married. Yangzi is one of my top 10 favorite Chinese Actresses... so love her.

Yoo Seung Ho plays the character of Dong Baek who has telepathic by touch and Lee Se Young plays the Police Detective Han Sun Mi. I loved YSH in "I'm Not a Robot"! FINALLY! A drama without romance or a triangle love and not somebody fighting over who gets who! Too funny! This a story that is a DRAMA! I enjoyed every episode and didn't have to skip to the next one! Every episode had my focus. This is a rewatch! The main actors were true to their story and the supporting actors were great! Honestly, I didn't think it was going to end the way it did... you know that one part that you try to guess who the real criminal is and when you get to that part... IT'S LIKE "I didn't know that was coming"! DO NOT SKIP TO FIND OUT... You have to watch each episode... it's only 16 episodes so you can hold out! If you do... you will ruin the whole story for yourself. HA! Thank you, writers! I needed the suspense!

wow, I was kind of confused about the ending. Keywords: "the past" "Irene". I don't know if she took off again or what. It seems like the character was going to love her no matter what and no other woman will be able to win his heart. The writers were very gutsy with this storyline. Again, writers, you put the third wheel in the romance again. Why? Can we just have a story without two women wanting the same man? Ugh! I love Seo Kang Joon, it never surprises me that he would play the character as he should. He did awesomely! I love the town atmosphere or set! I would love to go to a small bookstore like that where you can enjoy home-brewed coffee and read a book.

I was kind of hesitating whether I should watch this but here I am. It starts well and hopes it will end well. I've always liked the acting abilities of Park Seo Jung and wanted to see him in this type of drama as I loved him in Hwarang. But it wasn't what I thought it was. I did not like the ending! In my first review, I gave it an 8 but after I did my research and understood what this drama was about... I changed my review to a 10.

storyline: The storyline has its twists but it is continual in one thought. It is not so much revenge or avenging but for a person to take responsibility for what they have done. I wished everyone even those in corporate or government to take responsibility for what is intentional or not intentional. What I love about this is the diversity of actors and how it brings that diversity onto the screen. What I hate the most is discrimination against a person's skin tone, gender, age, disabilities, weight, height, the poor and middle class, and religion. The awareness is in this drama! I understand a little more as I couldn't stop thinking about this drama. For a minute, I was angered because I thought Park Seo Joon was killed off. That's what I get for not watching Ep 15-16.

I didn't understand and asked myself why Itaewon. Was that all true to what I was watching? I did some research and found this link on youtube. you should watch it which has changed my mind on how I rated it. I understand South Korea a little more. Itaewon is the only place in South Korea where you can feel Freedom and Diversity and that was explained in this drama but not as clear as I wanted. So here is the link. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OutGsIwEg5o It's in English so no need for subtitles.

It always comes down to a triangle romance in these dramas but were no females fighting so that is a good thing. I wanted Park Seo Joon's character to end up with Oh Soo Ah. The chemistry was not there for Park Seo Joon and Kim Da Mi. The kiss was there for Park Seo Joon but I'm sorry not for Kim Da Mi.
