Been a while since I watched a smart female lead drama like this

This drama was why I renewed my iqiyi premium subscription. My kind of drama, a smart male lead, a smart female lead with a no-nonsense wit that knows how to scheme and give back to bullies. Been on a drama drought for awhile now but this drama gave me back the will to watch a drama. Good casts with good story and beautiful costumes. A very, very satisfied watch for me. If WY from story of yanxi place had a sister andi also considered ML from the story of Ming Lan as well, JN of SOKP would have been her sister although it's a different period and era but it's how I see it especially seeing how smart she is.

LLTG: BEST HISTORICAL DRAMA OF 2022

I like this drama, I love this drama, it's as if the drama "the story of minglan" is mixed into this. I like the fierceness of LBY and how witty CSS is. I ike how cool LBY is as a general and as a man, lover and friend. Both CSS and LBY are loyal and protective of the ones they love. I like the way CSS matured and became an adult, I like the costume and the way they fetched their wine with a long spoon before drinking, I like the empress and concubine Yue, I like the emperor so much that he is for real my favourite character from the drama, I also like the grandmother too even her biasness to her youngest son(just not the way she treated CSS and separated her from her family) . I like the little villains court ladies before they all got married. I like how every topic is related to the story, the plots that's the massacre intrigue and mystery, characters and scenes in the drama, each were leading up to somewhere . I like how focus the drama is and nothing was messed up or wasn't cleared up, everything done or said were all connected.
I like how LBY never forgot his goal and got his revenge even if it meant losing the one person he loves most. His main focus has always been avenging his family and didn't stray from the part. I super love this drama and all the characters, because all characters had a role and all played it well. I will forever hold this drama dear to my heart because of the amazing leads. I love LBY two deputies that was always with him come rain or sun, death or life saving situation. I also love the grandmother acting, and while I don't like the way the mother treated her daughter, I'm trying to understand her needs of teaching her how to be a virtual lady even though I think she really had no idea how to do it and never really listened or saw her daughter right in front of her or saw her from other people's perspectives.
I like how the ending was similar to the beginning in the sense of their dressing, for the first episode during the lantern festival LBY first saw her among the crowds wearing a red Robe and him with his black robe but this time they were finally together taking a vow. I like how we finally see the parents and siblings fighting in war, we finally get to see them show us why their were really needed and left CSS at home.
Finally I like how in the last scene the emperor reminded me of why I love him. This is a good drama that made me sad that it ended.

You don't want to miss out on this great drama

Hahahahahahajhajdjeheuwjbw
I finally finished it today, I can't move on from it😭😭😭. This is one spectacular drama, the fighting scenes are all well done and my favourite part honestly. I want to keep rewatching it till I get tired of it which I doubt it will happen. I super love this drama and my best boy LWJ, wish we all got to see him become a sword diety as he has always wanted. Wow the blood of youth is such a good drama and I saw most of the well done drama I have watched was also by the director of this one, kudos to the director. I need more Wuxia drama like this. I'm gonna miss all my beautiful casts. 11/10 ✨

Revenge is a dish best served cold

Gave it 10 because honestly it deserves, the last time I watch a strong female character was with Weiyelou from Yanxi Palace , adding this drama to my list of re-watch lists. It's all about revenge and she got it all, although she lost a lot but it made up for her finally having her own peace and saving a country. Though she doesn't have martial talents but she made up for it with her cleverness, wistfullness and no nonsense attitude. If you're being skeptical about watching then don't be, watch it and you won't regret it. It's a must watch, the male lead is also good infact the whole casts in this drama deserves, they all nailed it, it's fun at the beginning and then becomes a serious issue right in the middle. The OST is also over the top, lovely songs, the customes also, I really don't know how to describe it because I just love it. Renascence is the best drama from this year so far unless I find another one soon.
Currently watching The Song of Glory because the female lead here is also badass like Fuyao.

LBFAD IS THE XIANXIA DRAMA OF 2022

Finally we get the ONE xianxia drama of 2022, like every year I usually wait for a xianxia drama that will be the ONE of that year and honesty I've never been disappointed,instead it just keeps on getting better and better with an amazing casts full of chemistry and great storyline.
LBFAD is such a good drama that while watching you keep asking yourself if you're watching a fiction story or if you're actually experiencing it with them because of how real the drama was.
Initially it took me two days to finish episode one because of the FL, I didn't like the sound of her voice and almost gave up but I said to give it a try and boy was I hooked.
Right from episode one it was already shown that love will be the the main theme of the drama, what do you expect when you put a soul that's kind, compassionate and know how to love with a soulless being of course it will turn out OK.
The fight on who get to sacrifice for each other is so beautiful and heart wretching. I cried my eyes out when watching this drama. Their love story is like how a woman get pregnant, concoon the baby for nine months, give birth to the baby, take care of it with love and affection from infant to adulthood and watch it makes its own decision.
The supporting casts also did well and I especially feel that Danyin should have been giving more story and well balanced ending to her character, I came to fell in love with her character.
Honestly was expecting Chengheng to finally love Danyin but I guess the writers knew what they were doing and didn't want to make it look like cliché like other dramas do sometimes. Chengheng felt more like a supporting character than a 2nd ML.
The one thing I love most about this drama is the ML, this is my second time watching his drama and to me he is really a good actor. His facial expression and dialogue is amazing, him as a woman and him as an evil being makes him so versatile as an actor. I hope he branches out more with different roles and all.
My first time watching Esther Yu drama, I think she can do more if she stop with the baby voice, it was the main reason while I didn't want to watch the drama in the first place but towards the ending she stopped speaking with the baby voice so I really think she can stop using it if she really wants.
The Ost is such a loving, beautiful and painful songs. Each time I hear a song I find myself shazaming away and guess what it always turn out to always be my favourite singers like Zuo Shen and Lui Yuning. These two together on an ost for a drama then you better belive that drama is gonna be bomb. My Spotify playlist is so blessed because of these two amazing singers.

Xianxia drama is my favourite kind of genre to watch in a drama and that's why every year I always expect something great and they always deliver. The amazing story, the CGI and the Ost is something you don't want to miss. This drama has a great CGI like ALP.
Watch this and you definitely won't miss out.

Another word for Perfection

If there's another perfect word to describe perfection then this drama is that word. Never have i seen such a strong female character and a perfect loving male character. Honestly why King Bailing character was annoying and evil and everyone was calling XuanJi names and all, i completely understand her actions. She is the most pitiful character, in all and all she was really pitiful and heartbroken. Although Si Feng love is admirable, i can't find any flaws in him as well. Both suffered so much, I finished this drama and became speechless, i have a lot of thought going on in my head and as someone who doesn't like to write long essay i also can't find the perfect words to express my feelings. Love and Redemption really stood up for itself, balanced itself as well. The emotional ride was worth it, i didn't cry maybe because i understood their characters. As for WuTong, right from the beginning i thought since he was being an asshole he will be paired up with LingLong, the chemistry was there and i was expecting them to fall in love with each other. Kudos to the writers and the actors,they played their roles so well. I will be watching this drama again in the future because of how awesome it is.

A good and fun watch

A very satisfying drama,the drama is not too long and not too short, no unnecessary drama being thrown in at the last minute this is the way a drama is suppose to be with a fl that has sense and smart brain, also never changes after a few episodes. FL retain her smartness all throughout the drama.. The princess is my favourite character, her smartness is so hilarious 😂 😂. Had me laughing all through it, the writer gave us all a beautiful moment with this drama, it was funny while also retaining the action part of it. The villains weren't really villaining except for the second villainess. Watched this while not expecting anything from it but an immense satisfaction after watching.

Best drama of 2021

Best drama of 2021 and that's a fact, relative to life instead of fiction. Shin Minah is a queen and a goddess, since i saw her in tomorrow with you that was when I fell for her, she's so sexy, talented and beautiful. She always slay her roles in any drama. This is my first Korean drama that I have watched within a span of 2 days instead of years, was hooked right from the first episode,the casts nailed it and I hope they get to bag all the awards they will be nominated for especially the male lead, first time seeing him in a drama and it felt as if I have been watching all his drama which shows that he really knows how to act and deliver his roles well. Super realistic and all about life, took me back to reply 1988. TvN really know how to make a good quality drama and no wonder their dramas are all a hit. I love this drama so much, love all the casts and I'm sad that I finished it already.

PLEASE GET A HANDFAN TO FAN YOURSELF WHEN WATCHING

Yes you heard me right, don't start this if you have nothing to fan yourself with because the heat will properly be bad for you. The heat, hotness or whatever hot that's out there is in this drama, so good and so worthy of the hype. Didn't want to watch this because of the high profile leading actors because I felt it will be full of biased fans giving it high score and boy am I wrong because whatever score you want to give it, I say the higher the better, while this is my first time of watching DD drama, it's not a first for YY so with being a little convincing from some of the reviews (a first for me because I don't watch drama based on people's reviews especially on this site) I started it and I didn't regret it so thank y'all that gave it a good review and score based on your enjoyment not by being biased. I did totally enjoyed it that I wanted more drama that has this same vibe and that's how I came across "Love Is Sweet", another great drama. Gotta say these two dramas, while different in terms of occupation and theme, both has ruined me for sure. YAMG totally deserve the hype, I mean the actors are ACTORS because you can see all on the screen, the story and all were all aced. I love the dynamic of the drama. I have watched this drama 2 days ago and I was and still speechless because I really don't know what to say but I gotta say I did enjoyed watching it.

OMG KISSES! EVERYWHERE KISSES!!!

If I thought Intense Love was too sweet for my tooth then imagine this one where I had to remove all of my teeth because of how sugary it is. I have never felt so giddied, flushed and so so in a drama. With this drama I discovered I'm a sucker for angst and tragic drama 😂 😂. There's no reason not to watch it, for those who don't like anything toxic, angst and tragic then this drama is for y'all because I kept squealing till the end. The casts were all so amazing, this is my second drama of Daddi Tang and I get to see a whole different side of him, the writer of this drama just understands life in short, like we go from knowing someone to form a connection, become friends, fall in love go through tough times together and get married to each other, that's life and the writers understood it. Such a wonderful drama!

GIVE IT A WATCH

One thing I have learned since I started using this site is that a drama with too many hyping and rating is bad and the good ones are the ones with low rating. Most people aren't watching this drama because the male lead is not up to their standard of pretty boy, they rather watch a drama because of how popular and pretty the actor is than actually watch an actor with good acting. This was my first time of seeing this actor, I haven't watch any of his drama before, I just saw the synopsis and decided to give it a go and I'm glad I did, it's an enjoyable drama with fun and the main theme which is DRAMA itself. The lack of romance wasn't a problem because it was never about romance but about a business man who uses his cleverness for good, someone that can't fight physically but make up for it with his brains. It was refreshing and good, comical and serious as well. I don't regret watching it and was happy to have stumbled upon it. I do hope we leave out stigma and actually enjoy something for the good and better performance that it is.

Male lead is bae ?

I'm just going to hmmm and awww about the male lead of this drama, if Moon GangTae from IONTBO was a kind, patient and perfect soul then Qing Yan is double of that. I have watched a lot of drama but only three of them has ever come close to Mr Perfect in my heart and Qing Yan just took the crown. He's so kind, patient, respectful and thoughtful. Even when he deserves to be mad and rightfully so, he doesn't, like how perfect is that? He made me love this drama more and the actor did a better job at playing this character as well.
PS. The other male lead is from the drama "The Romance Of HuaRong".
Both characters of romance of HuaRong and the wolf Princess exhibited almost the same characters (both drama has some of the same casts, both were written and directed by the same people and same production)
Both male leads are kind, patient and thoughtful towards others and their female leads.

Speechless

I'm speechless, this isn't a review but a bit of some words I wanted to say out loud because this drama left me speechless. I finished watching this drama a few day ago after putting it off for a long time, these type of dramas are usually not my style so I decided to give it a try after much debate and I gotta say I'm glad that I did. This was the first drama that literally gave me anxiety(in a good way) because the tension was real, every episode I kept logging out to give myself a breath of fresh air, it had it flaws but what Drama doesn't have their own flaws?, I can't lie and say I was happy with all the episodes because that will be a lie, 2 or 3 episodes had me being angry but I think that was because the writers or directors mixed up the episode so there's that. The casts were amazing especially the main lead and I think I just became a fan of his, he is really a good actor and it shows he put everything in acting when it comes to it. I really love it.

A matured ending

This drama deserves better rating, another reason why you shouldn't watch drama based on reviews or ratings as they can be misleading. Everyone's just whining about the ending but no one is actually talking about the main issue or point which was center around both leads. Saving the female lead and stopping the curse from repeating itself was the male lead priority, i personally love it especially the ending, i mean not every drama has to be all nice and full of roses. The main focus right from the start was on how to save the female lead which he succeeded in doing, Xi felt obligated and guilty, i mean he continues to lose the one he loves in every life time, he felt obligated to save her from the curse because she didn't deserve it and also because he loves her. They covered everything in the drama, told us about his return and that of his two sidekicks, just because we didn't get to see them together doesn't mean the ending was disappointing because i disagree with this. We have were they met each other and connected which definitely says everything.
