HANDS DOWN TO THE GREATEST XIANXIA OF 2020 ?
To start off, I even made an account just to make a review for this drama.
With all the unfortunate events happening this year, I can say that this drama is the HIGHLIGHT of my year. Never have I been so invested in a drama until I came across Love and Redemption. Was it perfect? Of course not. Was it full of plot holes? There were some, especially with how the villains got their endings. They were anti climatic and far from my satisfaction (that’s why I rated it 9/10 for the story) Anyway, onto the bright side. One factor why I absolutely love this was, of course, THIS IS DEFINITELY MY CUP OF TEA. And by that I mean, I’m a sucker for STAR CROSSED LOVERS stories ?, to add, ENEMIES TO LOVERS BEING REINCARNATED FOR THE 10th TIME! IM SUPER SOLD!
The plot itself was what made me intrigued with this at the first place. But that wasn’t enough to make me stay; it should be consistent considering 59 episodes were not easy to watch. Fair enough, there wasn’t even a filler episode. Every episode was a ride, some were light like going on a steady road trip with fluffiness and heart eyes but most were like adrenaline filled roller coaster of emotions that almost gave me a heart attack. This is most certainly not for the weak heart.
Moving on to the actors, big props to the lead couple Chengyi and Bingyuan for carrying the whole show like a pro! LaR wouldn’t be the same without them. Their chemistry is out of this world l can’t explain it. CGI is decent, far way better than other fantasy cdramas. OST was sick that I can’t just choose one!
And one thing that really struck me deeply was when Sifeng as Xixuan said “I will go with you, i will love and redeem you with my life, resolve your hostility and make up for the fault of the heaven to you” Against all odds style. My hopelessly romatic phoenix ???
Xuanji symbolises the ‘Love’ as on her 10th lifetime she was incapable of feeling any emotions yet she surpassed every struggle to slowly feel it, and yes, Yu Sifeng, was her ONLY ‘Redemption’ all throughout their bittersweet lifetimes. What a beautiful love story ❤️❤️❤️
Ps. Eternal Love: Ten miles of peach blossoms (2017), Ashes of love (2018), The Untamed (2019) may have set the standards so high for being the God tier Xianxia dramas yet Im afraid Love and Redemption surpassed them swiftly ?
Pps. I’m rewatching this drama like a crazy nerd ?
Thank you for redeeming my 2020!!!
