Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is your typical isekaid drama where the Female Lead transmigrates into the world of a novel she left a bad review for . In that world, she inhabitants the body of the Second female lead who's supposed to be secretly evil. Her mission is to save the world and conquer the heart of Mu Sheng, who has a complex personality.

The drama is very funny and the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I enjoyed it for the most part. It feels like I'm watching an anime but with Chinese mythology, the stories of the demons are also interesting in the beginning at least. I feel like the drama lost its momentum a bit in the 2nd half.

It started becoming more and more boring towards the end and many plot points didn't make sense, it felt like they were added just to increase the time span. Many arcs were utterly boring but the magic that Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi create by being together was interesting enough to continue. The supporting characters were not memorable except Cuicui and his grandpa.

It's essentially a drama about self love and how we should be kinder to ourselves and the people around us. How we shouldn't judge people by their status if they are demon or human. Both can be evil or kind. We shouldn't fixate too much towards endings, it's the journey that counts. Although these messages and theme are beautiful and made me cry a bit, especially how they portray the beautiful bond of friendship and romantic relationships. But i felt the execution of these themes could've been better.

Overall, it was trying to be something more but it kind of failed to be but the romance was incredible, I wish we had more moments of them and the comedy is also brilliant. Despite all the flaws, it's actually a pretty good drama to watch once.
