Did you ever love me?

I waited for years for this drama. And I can proudly say that it was worth my long time of waiting.

For the one who loves xianxia and also Cheng Yi and Yang Zi, I really have a big expectation for this drama. And I am satisfied.

Story,
I really enjoyed the heartbreaking-yet-beautiful story of xianxia, so I really have big hope for the drama to have a good story. And as long as this first part, I can say that the story itself is DIFFERENT in a good way. Actually, I heard people drop this drama because the story is boring and predictable. But I think the story of this drama is really good. I feel bad to believe those rumors before watching it myself. It really satisfied my expectation because the two big xianxia dramas from both Cheng Yi and Yang Zi already have my perfect score. However, This drama rises to my number one favorite drama of xianxia defeating the big drama for both lead actors.

Acting,
I really want to give standing applause to all of the team and actors that worked together for this drama. Even though this is not perfect, I really enjoyed the result. Especially for our main leads Cheng Yi and Yang Zi. They both really have my respect. I can proudly say that I'm honored to become a fan of both of you. Not only Cheng Yi and Yang Zi, I really can enjoy all of the characters. The director and casting team really poured their best to find the best actor who can make each of the characters live. Cheng Yi and Yang Zi really engraved their talent and made me can't forget them easily.

Music,
What can I say? All of the songs really touched my heart and complete the drama perfectly. Thank you to Zhang Jie, Jane Zhang, Zhang Lei, and our main leads. You guys gained my respect! And I'm not tired to say this, Yang Zi and Cheng Yi really take a big role in the drama.

Rewatch Value,
YES! DEFINITELY YES WITHOUT THINKING TWICE! I will engrave this drama in my heart and always mention it in my top list of recommendations. But people have different tastes and favorites. But I can say that this drama really worth watching for you who loved xianxia drama!

I won't go home if I'm not see the world!

This is the first wuxia drama that I watched because Li Hongyi, the actors and the story looks promising.

I'm not putting my expectation so high because I know we can't count on drama adaptation, but this work really slaps me right in the face.

Story,
I'm afraid that the drama can't really portray the story well and make the audience confused, so I hesitate to put my expectation too high. From the dramas that I watched, there is not much drama from an adaptation that can serve such a satisfying story. But this drama is exceptional! I can understand the story more easily than the donghua. I can say that the story is just perfect and beyond my expectation! There is no boring scene that I skip.

Cast,
I can say this is the first drama that has perfectly matched the cast and their character. All the cast really like popped up from donghua to reality. The casting team really put an effort to choose the right actor for each character. This drama made me think that big and successful dramas don't just need top-tier actors, but there are much more aspects that can guarantee success. It just needs a good story, a good actor, a good production team, and good teamwork between the crew and the actor.

Acting,
I can feel the hard work of each actor in this drama. Even some of the actors that I don't get attention to before really shine in this drama. They really give their 100% for this drama, like shaving his hair or having one month full of martial arts training. Even though there are some cons to the female lead, I think she portrayed the character perfectly. As for Xiao Se, Li Hongyi PLEASE YOU CAN'T DO THIS TO ME PLEASE GIVE ME MY HEART BACK I REALLY CANNOT MOVE ON FROM YOUR XIAO SE! YOU ARE NOT SHANGGUAN QIUYUE ANYMORE! The trio of Xiao Se, Wu Xin, and Lei Wujie really had great chemistry. There is no flaw for the other character too. I'm really satisfied!

Music,
All of the songs really matched the mood for drama. Even some of them are the same as the ost from the donghua compliment the drama perfectly.

Overall this drama really worth to watched and sit in the first list of my favorite dramas effortlessly. Surely I cannot move on from this drama for some time. Now I finished the drama and I feel empty. I highly recommend this drama if you like brotherhood and wuxia.
Rewatch value? Of course, I give it 10/10! Even now when I write this, I can't get enough of Xiao Se!

All just perfect!

Love Like The Galaxy is one of my watch-list dramas this year. I can say that it is really worth watching.

Story
I'm impressed by how smooth and tidy the plot is. There are no plot holes or something weird about the story. Standing ovation for the screenwriters' team! I'm satisfied. Even though there are some scenes that made my eyebrow rise, but overall it is perfect. And I like that all the detail showed decently in the story.

Acting
Sometimes I can feel the awkwardness of some of the actors from other dramas that I watched so far, but this is one of my best-watched-drama-list. Yeah, nothing is perfect but I can say that I will recommend this drama to everyone. All the actors really have a great job in their own characters, especially our main Shaoshang and Buyi.

Music
The music really gives a great impression and uplifts the value of the drama. The music department staff really doing a great job for this drama.

As I said before, this really worth watching it. I can clearly rewatch it in the future when I have time.

We will never be apart....

One of the dramas which I shall never forget. this is the best xianxia drama that I ever watched. It has my perfect score in every aspect.

Story,
As I know the drama actually based on a beautiful novel, I am actually worried cause I'm afraid there is something not perfect with the story. The differences between the drama and novel are common in the industry, but I'm grateful this drama is different in a good way. Even though there are imperfect in the plot due to circumstances. But I understand enough.
Some people maybe not be satisfied enough with the ending, however, it is beautiful and perfect enough for me. The special episodes give my heart a comfortable end. I think I am grateful enough for both the ending.

Acting,
Before I know and planned to watch this drama, I'm not named myself a fan of Yang Zi and Cheng Yi. But after this, I can proudly say that I will stay tuned on their upcoming drama. They really take my heart, break it, heal it, break it again, and then heal it with sweet medicine, but they break it into pieces in this drama. They are just perfect! This is what I mean Xianxia must have a perfect bittersweet story. And I would like to thank all of the team and actors for the hard work they poured in this drama. I can clearly feel their effort.

Music,
Perfect! They are all just perfect! All of the songs are really good as the song really made just for the drama. Thank you to the music department for your hard work on this drama. I don't have enough words to express my gratitude.

Rewatch Value,
I will rewatch this definitely! When I watched part 1, I think I will rewatch it sometime later. But I realized I am really attached to this drama and I can't move on easily. After finishing the drama, the desire to start again from the beginning is so strong. This is the first time I really want to rewatch the drama right after I finished the drama.

People have different definitions of 'good' and 'bad' for a drama. I think it is acceptable that this drama may have variant comments in good and bad ways. But I must say that if you are xianxia lover, you definitely must watch the drama and judge by yourself if this drama is good enough or not. Don't be influenced by just rumors and baseless opinions.

The Heart Never Dies

Starting with curiosity to watch Hou Minghao's first costume drama, I ended up falling in love with each part of this drama.


Story,
Such a new breeze for the Xianxia world. Even though it is almost like Xuanhuan with many fight scenes, this drama really one of a kind for me. This drama surprisingly is my preference for the beginning to the end. I started watching this with no expectations, but it turns out to be one of my top-list favorites drama.

Cast and Acting,
Shout out to the casting crew and all of the actors for their effort to make this drama so perfect. I'm glad that this is one of the dramas that have perfect actors for each character. I know Hou Minghao from his drama with Cheng Yi but not paying attention to him at that time. But this piece really opens my eyes to how amazing he is as an actor. Now I can't imagine Tian Yao if it's not Minghao. It's the same for Zhou Ye as Yanhui. Even though it's not perfect, she really has a good job to portray Yanhui. I don't have any complaints about all of the supporting actors too.

Music,
This is definitely the perfect example when I said the ost should have matched the drama perfectly if they want to succeed. Because the soundtrack is one of the important aspects of the beautifulness of the drama. I know when I heard Zhou Shen and Liu Yuning singing ost, this drama really worth full of my attention. I fell in love with Minghao's voice too.

I dare said that this drama is one of my top-list favorite Xianxia dramas. It is worth watching and of course for me to rewatch. Now if someone mentions Mighty Millenium Dragon, All that I can think of is just Tianyou and Longbaobao <3
Hou Minghao, I really looking forward to your next costume drama!

The Blue Whisper was the very first drama that I waited for.

I'm so excited when I heard Allen Ren Jialun and Dilreba Dilmurat were confirmed as Chang Yi and Ji Yunhe. Not only did I'm falling in love with the novel, but I also waiting for Allen and Dilireba to act in a wonderful drama.

The story, personally I love angst stories, so this is one of my favorite plots. And yes, the story is sad enough to make me cry a river. Although there are some little differences from the novel, but I really satisfied with the drama's plot. The differences made the drama perfect in their way.
I was afraid when the total episode didn't fit the story from the novel that was already beautiful. But now I really grateful to the crew to develop such a great story and didn't miss any important points.

Cast, Allen is one of my top favorite actors, his acting never disappoints me. How he portrays Chang Yi was perfect. The cute and innocent Big-tailed Fish, and the charismatic and admirable Beiyuan Master. Honestly, I was so excited when I know Allen joined this drama with Dilireba. I really looking forward to them.
I watched YAMG for killing time waiting for this drama, and I know Dilireba is the perfect Ji Yunhe for me.
And for Sa Ding Ding, she is stunning even in small character.

Music, with Sa Ding Ding, Zhou Shen, Mao Bu Yi, And Jin Zhi Wen, I know this drama will tear my heart for sure when I hear the drama OST. They are really amazing.

Its beautifully heartbreaking

I decided to watch this drama out of curiosity but got a gem actor like Li Fei.

Firstly I didn't even know about short Chinese dramas and never got to know this event existed. And this is the first time I watched it because of a short clip on YouTube.

The story is a cliche costume drama with misunderstandings, forbidden love, an obsessive villain, and a Romeo-Juliette trope. Because of the duration, we just have a brief plot that includes flashbacks. It could be better story-wise but it is acceptable. I need some time to digest the plot because many scenes are cut harshly. And also many scenes triggering for some people. Please be prepared before you watch it.

Besides the story and the production value are just okay for me, I'm grateful that I found such a good actor like Li Fei and Meng Jia Jia.

What should I do? I just fell perfectly for Li Fei! He definitely can act, is such a good kisser, showed micro-expression very well, and of course, has a god-like appearance. And then I heard that he got a nickname as the king of short drama. Now I know the reason for that nickname.

Meng Jia Jia is really beautiful here. She got really good chemistry with Li Fei. She and the king do such a great job portraying their character.

The other good thing about this drama is the soundtrack. I got hooked on Day and Night sung by Ziruchu Yinyue. This song is so emotional. I can feel the sadness, desperation, and yearning, from both the Main Lead.

I think I will rewatch it in the future just for Li Fei himself. And as for the ost, I already put it on my playlist.

One thing that I feel grateful for after watching this drama, it is such a blessing that I can find such a good actor like Li Fei. And his drama is mostly what I enjoyed the most. Nice to meet you, Li Fei! I can't wait for your next project!

Life is not just for Love...

I decided to tune in to this drama thanks to Yang Zi and Tan Jianci. But in the end, I found another gem on C-Drama land.

I love Yang Zi from Ashes of Love and The Destiny of White Snake. Her Xianxia drama never disappointed me, so I watched it. Another reason that I finally made up my mind to finish this drama even though season two has not been announced yet is because of Tan Jianci.

I know Tan Jianci because Winner is King, I watched this drama because I want to get to know him more.

This is the first time I watched his acting. I know her work as a singer, idol, and also at a variety show. Surprisingly I found another hidden gem actor.


Story,
With no expectations, I started watching it because of those two actors above. Then I realized this is my favorite kind of story. As a sad-torture-beautiful-story enjoyer, This drama made me suffer in a positive way.

My brain enjoyed any hidden meaning and details that they put in the story. For the production team, thank you for your hard work to produce such a masterpiece.

I love how the story made my heart crumble and cured and broken and happy and then broke down again. They successfully made me cry like a baby in one minute but then laughed out loud the next moment.


Acting,
Yang Zi is undoubtedly legendary. In AOL The character that she played was portrayed well in every drama. But in this drama, I feel that perfect is not enough to describe her effort to bring Xiao Yao and Wen Xiaoliu to life.

And Tan Jianci, OMG I'M IN SHOCK. How come I never knew that there was an actor who has detailed micro-expressions that can hypnotize so much audience? He is truly amazing as a nine-head demon cold general Xiang Liu and flirty-warm-sweet playboy Fangfeng Bei.
I can't really say anything about his acting skills. But I can possibly say that Tan Jianci is one of my top list favorite Chinese actors.
Besides that, I have a soft spot for a white-haired man.

The other that caught my attention is Cang Xuan's Zhang Wanyi. I feel like He is born to Cang Xuan's Character. When I looked at him I just wanted to bow and give my best greeting as a commoner. He really nailed it!

Deng Wei does a great job too. He shows us dedication as an actor. Even though I didn't really like Tushan Jing's Character, Deng Wei really knew how to portray this nine-tailed fox perfectly.
I knew him from TTEOTM and he is amazing there. And he doesn't disappoint me in this too.

Wang Hongyi and Dai Luwa did a great job too. But for the minor character for me is just okay.


Music,
Each character's theme song is really beautiful. All of them are really matched for the character and the story. I want to bow and give respect to the music department for this masterpiece. As YaoLiu team, I can't get enough of Favor Mortal Fireworks (Yang Zi & Tan Jianci), Long Lovesickness (Yisa Yu), and (The Waiting That Can't Be Waited For (Tan Jianci). They sit on my everyday playlist now. These three songs never failed to make me can't move on from Xiao Yao and Xiang Liu.

In the end, this is the most beautiful yet tragic story that sits on my top one favorite Drama. This is not just an ordinary god-demon or evil-good story.
There is something in it that made it touch our hearts when we decided to watch it. I can say watching it is just like diving into the sea. There are so many beautiful things that we can enjoy.

I definitely rewatched it till they announced season two of the drama.
And one thing, I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF XIANG LIU AND FANGFENG BEI.
Thank you.

Story,
I enjoyed the unpredictable and complicated plot, but it's hard to find a drama that suits my taste.

Even though there are some points that not really clear, but I'm satisfied enough.

Acting,

Enjoyable but DING YUXI ARE THE BEST

Once I heard about this drama, I decided to wait until I had enough time to marathon for Ding Yuxi.

Story,
It's not bad yet it's not sophisticated enough to make me cannot skip any scene. Maybe just me but I feel like I'm watching several dramas with not really detailed stories. But I can enjoy it until the end without thinking about dropping the drama. Sometimes I feel like they could do better, sometimes I feel enough. This drama could do better in some parts. But yeah, nothing is perfect.
Some things that annoyed me when I watched this drama were some scenes shaking till I got dizzy, little scenes where their CGI was horrible, and the annoying lighting that was too bright and not necessary.

Acting,
Shout out to Ding Yuxi for his acting, I know him from The Romance of Tiger and Rose and I know this guy really has good facial expressions that make his acting more natural. He can deliver both the Dominering God of War, The Second Prince of the Qilin Clan, and even Xiang Yun's cuteness behavior when they got their body switched. Don't forget when he becomes a cat demon, HE IS SO ADORABLE THERE.
As for Yang Chaoyue, I haven't watched her dramas before. For this drama, she is good but she could do a better job in some scenes. Her acting here was okay and enjoyable, but she could do better next time,
Some of the cast did a great job in their roles, but some are just so-so.

Music,
IT IS PERFECT, I love all of their OST. Faye, Liu Yuning, until Huxia, I can enjoy all of them. I can say that all of the songs really suit the plot and the drama itself.

I will rewatch it if I miss Ding Yuxi as God of War Chu Kong, The Second Prince of Qilin Clan. But now I can say that there are other good Xianxia dramas than this.

The most beautiful drama that I have ever watched!

Watched it by accident, but in the end, I really hooked by this drama. The drama is really give an impact on me as a human, daughter, and sister. No family has no problems. What makes it different is how we as a family dealt with it together.

Story. I don't have any word that can describe this drama except Wonderful! I really thank the screenwriter and all of the staff that made the beautiful story for us. This is one of the most satisfying storylines that I ever watched. You guys own my respect.

Cast. All of the characters are played by the perfect actors with the perfect skill. Especially Tan Songyun, Song Weilong, and Zhang Xincheng, your chemistry is really something. Thank you for making the characters in this drama alive. Also, I wanna bow to the other characters that really did a great job in their own role. Without you guys, the story would never be this well-executed.

Music. Thank you to the music department that gave us beautiful and perfect soundtracks. Without your hard work, the audience will not get the meaning that the story wants to deliver. All of the songs never missed the moment! They are so beautiful.

I can't find anything that made me disappointed with this drama. I definitely will rewatch this drama in the future. If you like family and have deep meaning-kind-of-drama, I can guarantee you will never regret watching this drama.

Nostalgic!

I remember reading the novel when I was in junior high school and I'm really into it. One of the most memorable novels I've read. The story was just perfect, with no other complicated background and ending.

Song Joongki really did a great job to portray a wild werewolf boy that has a warm heart and sincerity. It's more than a romance story.
Park Boyoung, her acting always had a way to make me cry a river. Her 'Sun Yi' was just perfect.

When I read the novel at night, I remember going to school with swollen eyes in the morning.

One of the things that I won't regret in my life was deciding to borrow this novel from my school library and decided to watch the movie.

Nice Story but Lot of Misunderstanding

This is my very first review on this page. And I'd like to write after I finished it.

I decided to watch this because a lot of people said this is a great drama and has some similarities to other Wuxia.
For 59 episodes, I started enjoying the story after 30. There is too much misunderstanding that made me exhausted. Some characters that I hope will be better as time goes on, just do not match my expectation.

I watched Cheng Yi from The Dream of Chang'an, and I really like how he portrayed the character. And he really did a great job for this drama. I adore his character, but the FL, I'm sorry.

The FL made me suffocate just because of her behavior for the first round of stories. You don't know how happy I am when she knows the truth. Crystal Yuan does a good job as FL, but I'm not really getting the God of War vibe from her, although she wears the armor or has a fierce hairstyle.

Other characters that catch my eyes are Liu Xue Yi, Bai Shu, and Fu Fang Jun. They really fulfill my expectation for their character.

The music is just so-so for me,. Some are good, but some just sound not to my taste.

The Story was good, but for me, the continuous misunderstanding parts are made me exhausted.

Overall I like this drama, but for now, I don't feel like I'm gonna watch it again. But it's still worth watching if you want to watch it. I fall in love with Cheng Yi and can't wait to watch his upcoming drama.

Simple but Legendary Life of The Extraordinary Queen

As Li Hongyi's fans, I waited for this drama for so long. This drama really gives me a different feeling. For the first time, I really enjoyed it without too much thinking.

Story. Even though there are some scenes that cut harshly, but this is one of the dramas that are light-hearted and simple. I can enjoy each of the episodes without worrying to miss something important. It's unfortunate that some scenes are missing and affect the entire plot. But I really enjoyed the drama without thinking too much and feel the none sensed scene was really entertaining. Sometimes comedy comes from something none sensed. The romance is simple yet beautiful for the main lead or the other characters.
But the story can be more enjoyable if there is a wise adjustment to the scenes that are missing for some reasons.

Cast. Li Hongyi and Lamu Yangzi really outcome my expectation of each character. I watched this drama for Li Hongyi but I didn't expect Lamu Yangzi or Jackie Lie really catch my attention. Both of them executed the character really well as a Queen and King that extraordinary. Bai Shu as Yu Changya gives a strong impression on me too. Also, Wang Dong as Liu Xie is a unique character in the whole drama.

Music. I really like all of the songs, there is no soundtrack that sounds weird to my ears. The song is placed in the most suitable way for the drama. Especially, when Hongyi and Jackie sing together, they melt my heart.

I recommend watching this drama when you want to just laugh at silly things and don't want to think too much. Even though this is not the best.
