They needed to focus on main storyline too, ZLY and DL combo is Rare and underused here.

I have seen almost 4 shows of Denglun, He has never looked Better than this , also I think SPC is by far his Best Acted out Role Yet. Upto 10 episodes , this Show is lighter and fun but does have a Lot of Similarities of Fangurling CZZ on her Idol JR to SweetDreams. I am amazed at SPC and For the first Time ever I found the Softy Brat character more Enduring than Dreamy Broody Guy played by ZhuYilong , the contrast between his JR and Denglun's SPC is amazing, they both keep the show intresting. I found Angela Baby suitable for her character , she does a good job of what is expected of her character. Some situations are Overdramamtized when it comes to JR's mom but again what is a C drama without unnecessary episodes and melodrama.For DL fans a must watch, he doesn't make you cry with depression but with Laughter here.

Review: Its a Slice of Life Drama!!

Ep1-16:Legit Confused as to who is the Male Lead here, SPC is a precious Gem and his Scenes with His Father are Pure Gold.Best DL yet. I somehow found uptil now CZZ and JR a better match , JR has this kind of subtle Attraction for which CZZ actually reacts for, she could care more about SPC , so that is why I think SPC needs a Better Match for him than CZZ.I dont want SPC to cry but CZZ isnt the right one for him.SPC-CZZ are better as Friends.

Ep17-35:JR and CZZ are still a better match Romantically but their Age/Experiences are world apart, JR down the line became too domineering in his thoights and literally Overstepped and Unheard all CZZ pleas to let her work in Peace.He wanted a Trophy wife more so because his Mom insisted and She wanted to Work.Had his Mom not liked CZZ and had he not known she is his fangirl He wouldnt even have Fallen in love with Her, and Aunt Bai at last did say right to CZZ, JR was always beyond her approach but Luck happened.CZZ's idol fantasy and reality clashed leading to their relationship gone kaput.Makers have to be credited to show some very real Asian thought processes and how the culture works That being said Aunt BAI WAS NOT A VILLIAN, Asian parents do have a Whole Lot involvement than in West.And she became what normal MIL do there, want the DIL to be devoyed as a free maid to their household and nothing else.That does make her obsolete but she had her reasons, Her husband died young so she cherished ths time left BUT IN A WRONG MANNER.Had Aunt Bai not been in equation I do Think JR would have understood CZZ more intellectually instead of just wanting to marry and have a family, he did have the capacity but for him His Mom always came first.

I still wanted a Different Lady for SPC because CZZ only sees him as a Friend nothing else and Practically Ignores Him and His feelings even when he almost ends up getting killed due to Her.She is too too into her Idol Land when she comes out still SPC is there for her, but who is there for Him? Luo Zuer if She was Not Annoying to SPC would have been Far better IMO, she is smart and Transparent BUT A princess pending money and annoying at a whole lot times.CZZ and SPC together Are not done.SPC deserves Better.

DL as SPC has not really got a Whole lot to work with in terms of storyline TBH but when he does HE Eats the rest 2 actors.ZYL and DLs micro body languages are Legit the Best in cbiz.SPC as a person grew a lot in understanding Humans and His fathers prespective, him and Papa Shao are best when together.PAPA Shao and CZZ parents are one of the best one sees in Asian Drama.

But in terms of stretching the story , there are Too TOO many Micro dramas, When do Real Estate People do Free Counselling??, I mean SPC and CZZ do that more than selling Houses.And everyone has their own Subset of Dramas.This is the most Unrealistic Part they Show.

Ep 36-48:I think the writer should have Introduced JR to be a double ceritified in Architecture and Interior Designer, his Professional Line seemed a Bit Blurry. The last story of Grandpa and Granma was the most Romantic One.And thank God Last 10 episodes gave us a Whole Lot of Papa Shao and XiaoShao they are Pure Gold and best father Son in Asian Drama.JR and Aunt Bai finally understood their shortcomings, I believe had this Show gotten a S2 JR CZZ and SPC working together & The Actual Love triangle would have beeb visible, It could have been that good but it was a Lost cause courtesy Slice of Life Genre which this show is not a RomCom Idol Drama.I for one did not understand how did CZZ suddenly fall in love with SPC ? I get why she should have but the Script writing moments lost me there.The Moment these 2 actually started having romantic feelings it was episode 46, what a shame.I would have loved a proper Love triangle though.It was One main story that could have been done in 16 stretched to 20 extended to 48 due to Storylines(they were excellent but again is this what we signed for?).I still stan with my opinion SPC deserved better and JR/CZZ had a better romantic aura.

Brainless Movie but Good to watch once if wanted.

This movie should be renamed NN's BFF, EX and to Be EX. Jingboran is the overdramatic Game Host, Helaoshi the Wedding planner to instigate the war whose assistant name is Nana , Chen Xiao and Zhu Yawen as their non existent male leads

FengShaoFeng is the english speaking Priest wearing Too many jewelleries who conducts their wedding ceremony , and Huangxiaoming makes a Cameo at the very start where all the brides in the city are chasing him.>

Those who know cbiz will know all these names. This is so cringe and bad that it's good. Ab is being AB at one point she is doing BAD acting of Crying...YeaH it's not funny.

If not for NiNi and her Madonna's iconic Look and smart dumb role it would not be a watchable movie. Nonetheless good timepass lol.Would have rated it more if NiNi got more screenspace, AB had too much screentime than required.

Absurd Comic Scenes : A wedding couple going extra and stood ontop of their 5 layer cake, there are legit people who are turning the cake to make it look extravagant

NN's maid of Honor is Tomboy Delivery Girl who refuses to wear dresses.

He laoshi shows his chest hair to stop AB/NN pulling their hair out.

NN/AB danceoff leading to NN breaking her back.

Airdropping all the Leads till now I dont know why HXM was there lmao.


Enduring scene : Zhu Yawen is poor, NiNi likes extra stuff, to cope up with cost, he does 3 extra jobs that makes him perform as a bear in public. NN agrees to be frugal yet he still wants her to have the wedding of the century.
Basically these 2 needed more screentime.

THe movie is =Braincell Dead but at times you need to watch brainless stuff that makes you laugh for no reason. Hence final verdict I did like it, but would others I dunno hahah.

Home theatre reduces the experience > Should have been in THEATRES for INTL audience too

Awesome Cinematography , Action Scenes and Background Score. Home theatre reduces the experience a lot for these portions.

Storyline : For a New Viewer , its a bit disconnected , First half is Slower as compared to second half , But sit through that else Story will not make much sense.

Acting : Chun Xia surprised me the Most and Mark Chao's QM ended up being a slight disappointment as compared. Wang Duo is a decent Actor BUT if you place him 90% in the scenes with Mark Chao it weakens his strength. Besides even with Older makeup he looked Younger him. His Best part for Finale Fight and death stares. But his romance with WZW doesn't hit hard when a Mark Chao and Deng Lun are in there.

QM is a soft guy but his body language isn't hence MC is a bit misfit. Mark is a Manly guy acting a softie which makes it a bit hard to see the overall show. His fight scene while Stopping an Impulsive Boya are good. His comic teasing are FUN but whining isn't.
BY is impulsive & confused but Denglun legit portrays it without much Dialogues. Kudos to that & He is not Over the top rough guy but figuring stuff out. The right limit to act and Overact was displayed in the Movie. His disciplined action scene are done Good.
Wang Ziwen is pretty and Her climax scene strikes Gold. If not her Wang Duo's ZX Priest words are not that Powerful to leave an impact. It was her Fangyue's desperation that Changed the game. Chun Xia character I wish had more time. She was Fun.
Mark Would have been a Far better Shou Ye /The Master or even Denglun ,the Romance then the tragedy would have been 10000 times better , WD was better suited as QM /BY. Because he looked the youngest.

Movie is worth a Watch! Cuz Mark Chao and Deng Lun are rare to Find at one Place.

MAJOR SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME ! Amazing BGM. Somehow gives off Vintage Feels.

Amazing BGM. Somehow gives off Vintage Feels.
This shows Spans between Timelines which looks a turning Book page. I LOVE that effect.
It will give you MAJOR SECOND MALE LEAD SYNDROME.For a very basic reason ZhangRuoyun Overacts a bit here and although his chemistry with SunYi is Nice but DengLun's character being more intresting and Well his Chemistry is way better with SunYi so bonus points.
Also the metaphors.QR and LL are Black Swans as the world views them but they are Pure.LL and PSX are the Migtatory Birds always end up returning to same place.They are destined.

Ep 1-5-->> Both the Guys Are Immature PSX and QR but QR has a more intresting arc than PSX whose only job is to look good be a star player and have girls fawn over him.PSX is nice but not Intresting.QR is mean but is a Softy, even when he hates LiLi he is intense.PSX is nice to LiLi treats her like a just friend so LiLi falls for him understandable.I just need them to convince me how she still keeps on Holding on to School Crush considering they laid foundation of QR being the loyal one and PSX being the one who wanders.LiLi has an ubderlying disease not diagonzed yet so that is harmful.Laugh Riot ensures in first 2 episodes between LL and PSX rhen comes QR who makes LL mad but she understands his dilemma because both were forced to accept a Parent they did not want.PSX is dreamy typival brat but righteous but dumb YET QR wins over how?? You need to just see. .Cut to 2016 PSX is heartbroken that LL left him, QR is hopeful but knows LL may Leave him , you dont know whom to root for.

LL lost chance was that she was not stereotypical beautiful for a Jock.
QR lost chance was his rudeness starting from a broken mirror paid back by fixed photograph of his cherished mother.
PSX lost chance was his immaturity for his age .

The Only Lines that strucks..
LiLi: "This Year I cannot like Pei Shangxuan".

QR: "Perhaps it was LiLis kindness that really wanted me to Make up with her this Morning, it turns out asking for compassion is as easy as giving a drop of water in a desert.(Paraphrased)

Ep 6-10 -I will Try to Let You GO...
PSX trusted his GF , LiLis Cousin and ended up in jail his life turned 360 degrees within hours. He became rude then woke up but in essence He still cant see LiLi likes him , he calls her boring and I am not sure now he thinks he is not worth her or she is boring for him.He is A matured ManChild , still irritating. Ruoyun Acts Fab when he is agressive but the moment he changes back to PSX manchild persona he overacts. QR gets red ears while he thinks of LiLi he fell hard for her BUT LiLi and QR only talk about each other inside their heads which frustates me.QR helps LiLi while she is drunk, LiLi insinutes they slept together but no one is there to clarify as QR leaves without an answer the very next morning.Daniel is the sole Voice of Reason in this show. The Oneliners of Everylight moment makes you laugh.BUT LiLi can never fess up her liking to PSX much like QR doesn't. There are more deserving men falling left right center for LiLi YET she pines for manchild PSX.I wish they did let each other GO.

BGM--Its not that I don't cry inside don't leave my hand but I have to Let you Go.
LiLi-This year I cannot continue liking PSX as purely as before(because she is guilty of a night of insinuated passion with QR)

Ep11-15-Episode 10-13 were Not Needed, they dont put much into Overall storyline except dragging, LiLi Will NEVER SEE any other guy other than PSX no matter how Good they are and PSX Loves girls who Fawn over Him. The Story Finally kickstarts when QR enters back as LL boss and HY as her colleague in episode 14.QR talks less but is a Softy and never asks for anyone's Love Back. LL somehow digressed as being in Love and not much of gravitas , she has a Habit of running away from confrontation as QR stated which is true. PSX grew Up finally and sees LL.QR and LL night of passion is still a mystery. But QR is still deep in Love.

EP 16-22 : Li Li-"This year I cannot keep on liking PSX."
Liu QianRen-"You are like a patch of grass slowly growing in my heart, Unimpressible yet Undeniable. Had I not left back then had I not been rude to you , would our relationship been different than what it is now?"
Pei ShangXuan - "I just want my migratory Bird Back!"

LQR 15 min confession scene outdid PSX/LL's moments but in the end LL wasn't fair to either of the Men, because she couldn't let go of one and couldn't be in love with other.
Final 3 episodes were beautiful and Hard for all 3 People, I did not know who should have been with Li Li more. Love your present or Love your past? The Migratory bird can never sit still breaking both Men's heart. PSX loved LL passionately but LQR did not Love or understand her any less but never got the chance he himself let go , PSX was robbed of taking care of LL but maybe he finally got a chance at it when he saw her in the grassland, just Maybe. I wish them all the luck in parallel world. All 3 of them.

This is One Crazy Show! Trainwreck Done Amazingly Right.

No wonder it topped C drama charts when it aired!!!!

Review:
Ep1-Ep14-Both child Artists for YunKai and Yibei acted brilliantly specially Yibei.This is the first show I saw wherein the Leads own mother is so darn ambitious she dosent care about her own Kid.And the Aunt is the positive character.Starting the show you dont know wheater Hui Jie or Xiu Hua who deservers the position though, both are good in their own manner in embroidery.YunKais mom although has negative shades but is funny.I somehow found the Dynamics between Yunzhe and Yunkai very different but not bad.YunKai is too flamboyant but his OTT dress sense hides his pain of loosing his closest people.He fell for GouGou without knowing and Denglun and Sunyi have amazing chemistry that beats or is equal to his and Yangzis.Gou Gou is a sweetheart who dosent bow down easily and is smart, I love that about her.But her Sister and Mother are too too ambitious leasing to loathfulness, hopefully they get the retribuition they deserve.

Ep15-28:Oh Wow They all use the Phrase "Because of You" a LOT in the show.Nvm.Yun Kai 's Aunt and Pizza Conman Daddy is a Nice addition to this show though, they alongwith Yun Kai and his parents are much needed fun.Can I just say I love Guo Guo , this lady never takes any Brutality thrown against her, she is one strong Woman without Losing Her Morales,C drama needs Heroines Like Her!!Instead of all Cutesy ones who are only chasing Or being chased by the guy ishh.Yuxin Is TERRIBLE and too manipulative , even her Mom if slightly feels sorry for her adopted daughter , she just ignores everything for Her Biological Daughter.This show is an Irony on Biological v/s Adopted Mothet Daughter tbh.Love progression btwn YK and GG is wonderful and YK 's bond with Le tong is So good, that Kid Acts brilliantly.Le Tong was born to a Greedy biological family but somehow inherited her adopted Moms Nature.Yun Zhe is one strange attractive character , somehow NoOne Distinguishes him being as the Not Biological Son of Li family yet HE thinks He has not been given rights to be one,In turn he falls for Vicious Lady YX & Trouble happens.My Bet It is He who is thr Key Player to Bring Yuxin down becaue he is her Biggest Support.Lu Sichen is a Man who After XieHua and GuoGuo suffered the Most and maybe the WORST of them all, Even if he was sincere he lost all and Now is on revenge mode Without Loosing Morals, I like his character as well and Love how he Never fails to make Yuxin Scared!!Also side note from Episode 7 GG bgf Xiaoqin is Irritating , I know she was used bu GG was not at Fault for that, I mean either here Ladies are White or Black, the only Gray shaded character I saw was YK step Mom and she is Fun TBH.Li Family is weird But Way better than Jin Family.

Ep29-42:One should appreciate the Tenacity of GuoGuo , She is a Strong character without being OTT.Much of this arc was How The downfall of Yuxin starts when GuoGuo Sichen and YunKai put their Foot down.I Love how even with or without LT being GG own daughter he accepts her without any clause, his love for LT/GG is pure and that shows in his efforts.SC deserves better and I fully support howsoever rude he is to YX. Karma always bites back is true for Mum and YX , both wants to up other but are scared of each other. YZ out of Love ignores too much Tbh. Ai Yu is I dont know , too too blind for her Biological daughter, YX manipulates her way too much, had AY stopped supporting YX she couldn't have gone this far.Plot twist YZ and YK are both fathered by same Man, Wow their Dad must have been greedy once, although a Nice character Yet YKs mom was cheated and No one can deny that fact.YZ mum is not negative but she is the only one who sees thru YX but again manipulated by GGs mom to let her marry YZ ,Talk about Loop Circles.A very well crafted plot adapatation indeed! Lets see how last arc reveals.

Ep43-56:The moment YZ awoke Game changed,YX till the finale made herself accept she is the victim in turn Used and manipulated others.When YB said HJ that she envied YX bcuz her Mom did everything Immorale thing for her It hit Hard.HJ at last confessed it was Genuine.LSC and LT gudbye was Hardest to see. AY was paralyzed, YX was snatched away from her Mum like LSC and HJ repented , Karma did bite back all.I hope YZ got his HE smwhere. YK had the sanest Step Mum TBH.He was a rock to Hardrock GG and they r CP goals.The last episode was Rushed but worth the end

Must watch but Slightly hard hitting .

Wow I came here for Deng Lun but Sandra Ma blew me off with her Acting. What a Fab Actress she is.

A MUST WATCH SHOW INDEED!!

This show has one of the Most Unique Real Life Concept I have ever seen amongst K/C dramas and the Camerawork, Soundtrack , Storyline and Actors are fabulous.

Fuzi is very relatable, she can be me or My friend. Although Hao Zeyu appears on your face Brat , he is insightful at times (once in a blue moon). Fuzi and HaoZeyu are Friendship Goals, they are so sweet together.

I had to Binge watch the Last 5 episodes, it's so High on Emotions you cannot miss it.

First of all my complaint, The show could have easily Wrapped up in 25-30 episodes , 44 were not needed , it had too many Subplots especially with NM and her Admirers too too much fillers. I would have rather seen HZ and FZ struggle to get back together after their Very Realistic Heartbreaking Breakup and How HZ Finally makes it On his Merits Not Popularity.

Costume Dramas are easy to watch, They are Gods they reincarnate , but the Emotions of HZ and FZ right after LF dies tragically is too RAW. We idolize the Actors, they pay the price of Fame with their Lives. DL's /HZ instant helplessness of not being there for FZ and not able to meet LF FOR the last time was so hearbreaking.

SM is a FAB actress, in the last few episodes she single handedly ate other performers , she is that Natural, the Lady has Best Comic Timing and Excellent Crying Skills.

Viki should not have categorized this with Idol Tag , this is Slice of Life not IDOL drama.SM and DL are too too good in this show , especially SM. I have to praise DL a lil less but because HZ was annoying a Lot of times!!! So he did the Job well.:) I just wish they could have had less episodes , this show would have been PERFECT then instead of Low rated.

The realities shown in fictionalized manner in this show is quite hardhitting.70% of Chart Popular actors are IDOLS infact not REAL ACTORS. I am glad HZ made it a point to be an Actor not an IDOL , he listened to LF's advice. And FZ learnt to be Independent and spoke out that she gave up her Lifeline for HZ but he wasnt there, although it was not entirely up to him but Communication Gap and Being a Puppet in someone's hand would have repercussions.

ALTHOUGH it was an Open ending But A Hopeful One.

I wanted to see HZ receiving accolades though, hope in the future he does. Till then I assume he and FZ are Fighting the Life together, All the Best.

Remove Either of the 3 Actors or Characters, this show wouldn't be as EPIC as it Is.

To their Credit.
One of the BEST and Real CGI.

**Yangzi pulled off JM with a Nuance very less actors have. Otherwise JM comes across as Stupid. I blame the editors for cutting off her emotional Crying scenes, one should have a look at BTS to know instead of blaming her the weakest, when infact she was the Strongest in understanding JM's arc. HATS off to her.

** Denglun's Portrayl of XF made him Live a Life beyond the original Novel HSALF, which is commendable, he was equal parts adorable and Powerful. I just wish the screewriters showed his PROUD Part MORE. And His Emotional Scenes, If not Him I do not know who could have made us Realize that XF was not a Brat but A man who Lived Cried Laughed and Died for LOVE!!
His Body Language is a very very powerful tool to potray how Xufeng Felt. This man had NO Dialoges unlike the SML but he made a Very Silent character LIVE Through ages and in everyone's memory.!!! HATS OFFFF.

**LeoLuo being the least popular of the 3 stood on his Own, Man the way he lived RY is what made XF/JM especially XF epic. HE made us Love and Loathe RY. And the way he switched to YY character for 10 mn it was Commendable. He was a Great Opposition to Denglun's XF who himself is a very vERY Strong Actor.

+Illogical Plots.+
1.XF and everyone knew SH had Fire Magic , why did no one Suspect Her of using LJ early on?
2. JM did not get Love but She acted without Reasoning, Plain Dumb.
3. XF/JM's Baby is a waterbird not IcePhoenix?

#Spoilerish for those who are confused.

1.a) JM loved XF before The Mortal World Arc, She felt Pain starting Right From When he saved Her from Qiongqi then Their First Kiss, She almost even Fainted when XF was asked to Leave Flower Relam and Told her Camoflauge Self that they Will NEVER MEET. So for those who say Fox Fairy/Moon God Tipped the scales on XF's side by tying Saint and King Yi with Red thread of Fate are Misinformed.JM even with the Pellet Loved Phoenix enough that even after Powerful Insertion and Repair It Cracked not once but Twice!!

1.b) Phoenix Tree Sprouted because JM consumed ZONGZI filled with XF's Spiritual Energy, it dies when either one does , it sprouts back when Both are Alive.

1.c) JM had no feelings for RY whatsoever beyond acquaintance or PITY from like day 1, her best friend or close friend was Puchi Jun and any womanly feeling or emotion was always towards Phoenix, so to say she would have been happy and in love with RY eventually nope she couldn't. She was a Cold Hearted Body, only a Warmth fire could melt here.

2. It is Wrong to Blame RY for XF's Murder because it was JM's Recklessness and Impulsiveness that Killed Him.He manipulated she Acted.RY had a 20% chances of winning that day, Had JM not stabbed XF , RY would have been Killed or lost his Powers at Liuli Jinguo's Mercy.

3.XF will always be a better man than RY HE Loves Openly He Kills Openly Unlike RY who manipulates then Plays Dumb just to be a Pitful Surviver.

3.1 XF was holding his hand while he stared the wedding gown of JM after her death, because that's was the place rabbit JM bit him. XF just wanted a semblance to remember that JM did come and really did LOVE him. It was his eternal Hell and Heaven at one place. AGAIN Body Language DL rocks there.

3.2 XF punishment for RY was live a life holding the Heavens like he wanted. RY's point always has been he was victimized and got nothing, Heaven was something he Won , so XF refused to take it away, RY may still not get the point , but no matter how much of a devil drama XF was he would not have killed RY.

3.3 XF never returned to Snatch JM back, she killed him said she never loved him, So he gave a free pass , it was JM who kept coming back , it wrong to blame him there for coveting the Fake Queen Of heaven when she herself had no feelings for thr King of Heaven.

4.For RY those who actually Love him are taken for granted whether its his Own Mother, Brother or Assistant, as Power,Pity or Obligation. He never understands Love hence He keeps on Miscalculating the Love Between Phoenix and His Grapes.That was his Eternal Doom.

5.RY was never as Powerful as XF no matter what he did, hence he either made JM ellimanate him, CUT OFF his Diety Status, never attacked him in Heavens but challenged him when he was a Mortal and Also Consumes the Evil Qiongqi to Kill Him.NEVER EVER was he more Physically or Magically Stronger than XF.

6. XF needed a Reality Check , because he literally walked on Heavenly Air, He took his Parents as the Law however Corrupt they were.RY was right to show Him the Mirror. Tiandi and Tianhou deserved that.

7. Tuyao was not Always a Villian, she became overly possesive of her Power after Her Legitimate Husband started Wandering around Women for Pleasure and Power. The Lady gave up her Love , Tribe and Sacrificed her Dignity for Taiwei and He just did not care, she bit back and Made Havoc in everyone's Life.

8. HOW is XF Taiwei's Son when he is more Like Lianchao Puzzles me. I think the writer left it up to imagination.

9.Tangyue is not Half Immortal Half Mortal, He is a Water Bird Bailu, He is entirely Immortal because JM got the Spiritual Power given again by XF at the end of the Love Doom which made her IMmortal Shuishen again then he was born.

10.JM was the only character who never had Free Will uptil episode 50, others Loved hated manipulated with their entire head and heart in right place, that is why she acts the way she did. But that does not explain why 2 evidences made her End her Love into Ashes.

11. Moon God and Puchi Jun are the Most Loveable Character in this Universe . Period.

12. Mozun and Frost Flower Mutually Cultivated in Yujiang Place that scene was blurred out ,ONE HAS to Listen to JM's Monologue to understand the Level of Intimacy she compares SH with, She already saw XF SH kiss once , the intimacy here indicated Physical Intimacy.

13. When XF threw the Great Phoenix Feather ala Fengling at JM as an attack at the Jiu Yung Cave, it acts as a Shield on Her because Fengling is A part of XF , it senses his Real Intentions and Love so It protected JM from the attack, throughout the show it Keeps on Growing in Size sensing the danger equivalency. Hence XF's dialog Even You Betrayed me.

14. Mozun Sprout Blood when JM destroyes the Frost Petal is because it got integrated in His soul, That Petal has His essence attached to it, The destruction made him bleed.

15. The most pitful end was probably faced by Liuying, she never got her husband back for resurrection. Hope she got a HEA somewhere.

Far Better than Current Modern CDRAMAS, NEEDS A lil bit patience but worth giving one shot

This show needs more reviews in all honesty but this needs a Lil bit of patience to get in its groove.My biggest complaint is Mo Nan the second lead seems to have more Screen Time than Bo Hai. I mean really!! And also Xinyan is one irritating 1-D character without any goals except chasing the male lead. Special Mention to Actor playing Chen Mo his character is a sweetheart.

I liked the Second Half of the Series Better.It was Way More Interesting and Fast Paced.

Pros-Wonderful Actors with Excellent Chemistry. The Show if compared with a K drama is Almost the same duration 20 episodes 1.2 hours each. But the 37 min duration in each episode covers A lot of Plot Poinyts ESPECIALLY in the Second Half. Bo Hai and Qiqi Character Graphs were Awesome. And Bo Hai might be one of the sweetest BF one can ever have. I hope somewhere in future Deng Lun and Dilireba can work together in a different genre project.

The Actor Playing Monan was good as well , his expressions differentiating between Despicable and Lovely Monan were well done. Although he could improvise upon his crying portions. Chen Mo was excellent as well, His Comic Timings are awsome.

Dilireba shined in one of the most emotional scenes wherein Qiqi is trying to collect the pieces of BoHai's teared Poster, it made me cry buckets. The Last Few Episodes are Bingeworthy its so good.This show had Wuxia Xianxia Modern Dramas all in one which is unique in itself.

And for All those Who did not understand why did the Last Accident Happen. Uptil then it was a smooth transition. Please watch the last few episodes to know. I liked how they gave Mo Nan and Baoni an open ending, it is really not healthy for them to get together, atleast for the show timeline. I wished there was one more episode to explains BO Hai accident to Europe to DREAM Reality Proposal. This is the only part where it seemed the writer Trolled US. I loved how in the middle QIQI was courageous and Refused to giveup on BO Hai, because she could see through him, same for BO Hai, he gave up after a long battle but still Understood later on. This was a couple worth Rooting for!! Bo Hai-QIQI FTW.

CONS-Biggest Complain is MO NAN had more Screen Time than Deng Lun , I mean WHY? I could have done without his despicable monologues and Baoni foolish attempts at making him see sense. I mean Dear Monan got 25 min daily out of 40 minute show and rest were thankfully spared to main leads.

The First Half could have been Hugely Condensed, The Major part of Second Half was excellent. In C drama format they could have done a 25-30 episode arc, it would have been Much Better.

This Show due to the Long episode format seemed to suffer due to Personality Disorder. Wherein First half is Slow Sweet Dreams and Seond Half is Bitter Sweet Dreams?? The only loop hole in second half is Last episode 10 min summary , Man they needed atleast 15 more minutes for smooth transition, this is where they lacked IMO.

Baoni and Monan beacame most pathetic characters in the show overtaking Xinyan , Monan I am still not sure did I forgive him? Maybe Maybe Not, Had a character like BO HAI not existed, Mo Nan was not redeemable. Girls should Learn from Baoni, Please Check your SELF RESPECT First. and Not run around a person who had turned into a Pathetic Looser who even Forced a Girl he claimed to be his Love and BFF to get engaged to defeat his enemy at one point.Please!!!

Overall A Wonderful Show, This show needs A bit of Patience and Lots of Ratings and Love. That is it from my End.

They are destined lovers because Goddess basically screwed their fate !

HR/CG : They are destined lovers because Goddess basically screwed their fate and made YM the balancer which can be killed by Devil due to all these feelings not needed confusion. At places the story feels like 2 different shows, with the Yul and family feud and court angle v/s the love story I feel has no substantial impact as to why it is so heart wrenching on mere basis of that one fine day they went to a peach garden and played around as Kids.

I do get CG only friend as a blind kid was HR so she missed him, HR might have had friends but all got lost. Their adult selves why did they fall in love on basis of nostalgia holds no impactful ground for me , I mean I dunno I feel the connection isnt properly developed.

Mostly this happened because first half of the series focusses on CG and painting academy comedy with dashes of emotional lines and more comedy. HR was shown so good in the first 2/3 episodes then he fell flat. He was literally shown as this puppet master controlling the entire chain of events for the wrongdoings to his family, down the line it was reduced to jealously and Push and Pull game.



YUL - YM is seen as this villain which he isn't , he has to shuffle and keep them all alive and the nation alive all at once, they all have 1 responsibility , he has 1000 and then being called a Wretch....and some agree with it? MAKES me sad. His story is properly fleshed out as compared so I feel he is the hero trying to manage and save the day which being the target of everyone while others are trying to kill him.



We have a Hwacha / An Old man with his head inside a plank, A ring with the bones of Balance God warding off Mawang and Sam Shin and Tiger Goddess protecting everyone. Tiger Goddess makes the most sense at some cases I feel. Yul is trying to save everyone and CG has only one track mind , meanwhile HR wants to Kill the royal family by making them against each other including Yul. They are frenemies but I still feel Yul is the most pressurized. This friendship, that unrequited Love , the pressure to be the non consensual Crown Prince he has a burden not every can see. HR has a mission with or without the devil inside him, its complex. CG is the game changer though but she is bias heavily so, but then again she doesn't know the backstage drama, all she reacts on is what she is seeing. But the word wretch of a Man was Harsh!!!!



Also draw a divine painting?? How to draw that, is there a SOP somewhere makes no head or tail duh. There were some people who questioned Yul's sense of how is he to decide the painting s are divine or not. CG can draw but not everyone can decrypt her sensibility in paintings, Yul has some divine decryption power to dechiper those, I think he has a good eye for stuff beyond normal human comprehension. Also she needs a vessel/painting to seal the Devil, if Grandpa King was the one whose body had the devil so his painting was used, why is not HR now? Or why wont it be Grand Prince later if he manages to buy Mawang from Haram???



Story is brilliant but there is some disconnection here tbh. Still awsome lol.

FML needs to work more on acting , she falls slightly short IMO.



FINAL VERDICT:

A Blind man was able to walk see and tie up a horse without knowing where he fell down, Time is being wasted on not so imp characters, A highly guarded prison can have visitors easily? What on earth....

Sam Shin and one more Goddess are worthless in front of a Sealed Demon Lord? Don't you not Cultivate???Do you not have successors? Was Sam Shin Born Old??? I mean WHAT????



The entire 15th episode should have been named YES I AM READY TO SEAL MAWANG...That is what we have been hearing for 10+episodes WORK ON IT......



Hwacha Human's son is the Street HAT Painter,...Wow Would have liked his backstory to be seen more than the BrotheL Lady who IMO is a bigger backstabber than Evil Shaman who for the lack of better words was ambitious and only supported the King or Person who helped her ........Arghhhhh



Hwacha becomes the God of PAinting eho resembles Grandpa HA , Grandpa HA resided in that Jade ring which helped in controlling and existence of MW in a Human Body...OK.....



If the reason of MW not being able to be sealed last time was the RING! Then that very RING also existed with Mommy HA when HARAM was born and MW was first sealed, then why is it a Hurdle Now?LOgic Lost in Painting too??/



RED MOON was not the relevant one, but the Entrance of 5th planet from Sun was, Assuming it is not Jupiter They would have had to wait for 1000 yrs for next apt SEAL DATE??? Was the Grandpa King and Current King rule time period 1000 yrs? Do Moon and Planet have irregular schedule? WHAT???



HARAM ride a Horse being blind in a jungle, got thrown off the horse and fainted, The Horse was tied up to a Tree? WHo tied It? A ghost????


HR was able to see Grandpa Gandolf err Grandpa HA, Was it a Dream or Reality? WHY IS IT SO INCONSISTENT....DANG IT!!!!


Demon Herpes took 5 years and more still was not able to fully spread and kill JH ...Wonderful.

King was still alive with terminal illness

MW curse was reversed on CG, but his injury was still implemented on JH????


Sam Shin basically pushed MW inside the Painting and they live together now inside the Vessel whose powers were bargained with Hwacha who absorbed them and is now the new GOD OF PAINTING....OKAY???? Now He is Birth/Death/Painting God???? Then was Grandpa Ha Painting/WATER Sensor God????


The magical beings were not explained properly, the people don't know their own Mythology and the Outside the country parameters don't match Up.I mean Yul and others took A boat to reach the place where CG/HR stay with their Kid and the servant after 5 years and HR/CG took only a Horse RIDE and rode to the outskirts to visit their Peach Garden where the OldLady who was around 60 back then is still alive at almost 85 yrs????? Peach have elixir of Life???


Boat water ways and Horse Garden Way have same distance??? WHAT??? Did they not Leave the Capital that they have Urban legends cooked and whispered amongst the capital people????? MAKES NO SENSE

YUL Will be the MVP of this show IMO, While everyone kept throwing tantrums and called him a worthless man, HE Grew Up, left his own desires and became the Bigger Man that everyone needed to stabilize their own lives. HE OF ALL PEOPLE DESERVES A HEA TOO!!!!

Main leads wrapped up alright and with a Cutie patootie Kid but I Need a S2 to see Yul and Grand Prince Saga tie up properly too.

Initial rating was 9 reducing it to 7 because it had no plot after 6 episodes to flesh out properly. AHHHHH Such a wasted opportunity where Fantasy was made a Gumbo....
