This review may contain spoilers
personal opinion from someone who have finished watching many xianxia dramas and this drama.
Please bear with me as this is my first time writing a review for a drama. I've watched many many dramas before and I must say that this one is unique in its own way. Personally, this drama isn't the best xianxia drama to have existed but the storyline and actors towards the end did leave me a heartbreaking impression just like the director's intention for this drama. As it is an adaptation of a game, I can understand that things might've not felt like the director and producer are in control of changing the storyline greatly.
I know that many claims that it's way too much like 10 miles of Peach Blossom and Eternal Love of Dream. I totally understand it as both the ML were dragons and start off with the FL saving the ML when he's injured in his true form but Miss the Dragon does have its own element and uniqueness. Long wang followed Liuying for more than 3 lifetimes to protect her from all the danger with the intention of marrying her but just to see the ending really broke my heart. No big spoilers but just trying to say that these were also key elements that made the 2 drama series different.
I've seen many reviews where people comment on how Dylan Wang barely did anything and he managed to use his power to fight with enemies. Honestly, from someone who has never attended school for acting, it's already really good in my opinion. Although he needed to take notes from his fellow coworkers, I think that it will take time for someone to truly develop a certain skill.
There were many to expect from him as his previous role in Meteor Garden was a bomb. Many blamed him for lacking these and that but thinking about it, it might have been what the director wanted. Without the producer's approval things rarely gets through easily and we can't just blame Dylan on this. (Not claiming that this is the producer's fault but I just want to let everyone see things from my perspective.)
Warning spoilers coming up next...
The ending really took me by surprise. I really did not realize that the Immortal of Fate would be the villain and would really just plan all these schemes. I did realize 8/10 through the movie that he was sort of suspicious but other than that he was like all normal to me. I really trusted him as long wang's friend but I felt rather betrayed. He really did the qian xun and qing qing wrong. qian xun and qing qing have never done anything to him but he has always been eyeing the couple and destroying them. sorts of bothering me as an audience but that's part of the intention of the drama. Let's give the immortal of fate a break and talk about the second lead cp.
Honestly, through this entire drama, I look forward to qian xun and qing qing's love more than seeing the lead cp. They just get more and more interesting and they really did carry the drama well. I really hope that they can have their own drama as lead actors and actresses in the future and I really stan their love and how they click so well together.
I also find it interesting that long wang falls in love with Liuying but follows her as she reincarnates to ayu, chenyue, qingyan. Throughout the entire drama, I question if he loves Liuying for her personality or for her face, or because of her soul. This is sort of confusing but please do not fall into this trap and get stressed out like me. After all, all of Liuyings' lives did have a beautiful personality, face, and precious yan soul. ;))
I have more to say but then I need to stop right here.
Lastly thank you to everyone who has read my review up until now. If you're having hesitation to either watch this drama or drop, I recommend you try it first. What others find bad might not be that bad to you and opinions do differ. After all, we only live once and you might not know what would click with you! If anyone finds this review rather disturbing, I do sincerely apologize for this mistake.
