LOVED Starry Love <3

Starry Love was a very fun watch for me. It had a lot of great comedy which isn't really characteristic of most xianxias I've seen, but I really enjoyed this show and couldn't wait to see the next episodes. It hooked my interest from the very first episode and featured a strong non-cutesy FL which was a welcome difference from Ashes of Love's Jinmi or Love Between Fairy and Devil's Xiao Lanhua (both shows I loved, by the way, and gave 10s with my xianxia loving heart).

I loved our main couple, Yetan and Youqin, and the show gives them plenty of chances to fall in love. I initially wasn't a big fan of our second couple and the second ML, but they grew on me. Qingkui, being the "good sister" also demonstrates her strengths and is not a damsel in distress. So both FLs were strong, in my opinion. The supporting cast of characters was also great - especially Wudai.

The CGI was well done - very beautifully drawn skies. I am loving the OST - Liu Yining, Sa Ding Ding, and Mao Buyi.

The only reason why I'm giving this show a 9.5/10 instead of a 10 is because I feel there were some loose ends in the latter half. I feel like if the show were actually longer than 40 episodes, it would've helped to give more time to round out the ending arc of the story.

I am hoping the netizens will get us a special episode follow-up because I needed more. :<

I really loved Starry Love - it got me to laugh, smile, and also cry. I highly recommend this if you like xianxia.
