The Alchemista420

I haven't yet no. It's on my list. I like both co-stars and have seen the ML in a few dramas so I have had it saved. The reviews did put me off. But after watching Li Lan Di and realizing she was the FL I definitely got more interested in checking it out.

The worst part is that it's not even season 1 and season 2. Everything was filmed together and the show was split into 2 parts. The production should have just done 40 episodes. They stretched things in part 2 and added unnecessary drama and ruined what part 1 set up.

I haven't watched it as I am not watching modern dramas yet. I love costume dramas, ancient historical and wuxia. I can count on one hand the Xianxia I have watched. My first was Eternal Love of Dream and I realized it would be a genre that I would not like. Especially if there are too many misunderstandings, too much angst, immaturity or childishness to a certain extent. I loved the main couple and loved the humor though. But they went through to many trials and tribulations. It wore me out.
Till The End Of The Moon is one such example. I dropped it at ep32. It repeated tropes too many times and I lost my patience and couldn't deal with it any more. I loved the ML and FL. The ML was a revelation and I became a fan. The OST? It kept me in a chokehold for months. The Legend of Shen Li is the first I loved and it was amazing. The maturity suited me better. I couldn't stand the usual hypocritical immortals/deities but yeah.

Love Of The Divine Tree is one i went in because of the actor who plays the ML, and the FL blew me away. I also don't know why but I loved it. Even though we had the trials and tribulations and misunderstandings. I know right? There was something that worked and their relationship, dynamic and chemistry pulled me in. The story and cast, the visuals, the costumes and the ML's gorgeousness and beautiful hair LMAO... I don't know but yeah lol. Pleasant surprise. And the ending was awesome and wholesome.

Other than these, I stay away from Xianxia for my peace of mind and blood pressure hahahahahha.🤣🤣🤣😩😩🤭🤭

Two years old post I know, but I finished The Starry Love and it surprised me how much I loved it. The comment below made me snort and laugh because my eyes are still puffy and red. I laughed, cried, sobbed and smile so hard and fell in love, and yes, we ended up with a tree! 🤯🤣😭😭🤣🤣🤣🤣😅😅😅. I get the ending, but after A Moment But Forever when we never got the reincarnation reunion at the end, to see a similar finish here too was really deflating. This is why I can never give a 10 lol.

I don't like Xianxia, but The Starry Love gave me a different flavor in the genre and I loved how delicious it tasted. All thanks to Li Lan Di from Coroner's Diary who made me want to watch more of her work, and blew me away in The Starry Love as Li Guang Ye Tan too. I discovered Chen Xing Xu and what a revelation he was! Their chemistry was sooooo good!!! Shame he doesn't do costume dramas anymore because he rocked as Shao Dian You Qin. I loved the supporting characters and the actors and actresses really did their characters justice. Ye Tan and You Qin made me fall in love and what a feeling it was! They have now joined my favorite couples list. I loved Ye Tan and Qing Kui and their sisterhood. The Void peeps were so good. The Immortal siblings and the Beast Realm Prince and Man Man. I loved Hu Sui/Su Zhi and I understood her ending. Her story was tragic but i loved the good times she had with everyone. Cast, crew and production teams really gave us something special.

The OST was amazing. The songs kept making me feel fluffy inside or emotional and in tears. They fitted the show so well! Someone on MDL mentioned how good it was and I was intrigued. Now I get it!

I am glad I watched this show and to have it mark my 1 year anniversary into cdramaland! What a treat! 🥰🥰🥰😁😁🤗🤗🤗

Here's a comment I made on reddit after finishing the show. I also felt it was familiar because of Moonlight Mystique (dropped at ep6) and turns out some of the production team worked on it. And A Moment But Forever, I had many things that reminded me of it. Also purple being my favorite color and Ye Tan's theme, it was meant to be lol.

Because of how much i loved her performance in Coroner's Diary, I've started watching The Starry Love today.

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤭🤭🤭😅😅😅 these are hilarious!

I am glad I stuck with in spite of its flaws. That satisfaction was worth it. 🤣🤣😩😎

The moment Master Zhong was shown having actually rescued the two Bei brothers, I knew Bei Kun would be resentful of the life Bei Ming led, as opposed to the one he got to live. Why he didn't keep the two isn't actually shown I believe.

That twist had me smiling big because I was pissed for a few episodes at the beginning because of the poisoning. And this awesome twist had me chuckle because it was well played. That and the identity of Ye Sha. I really got got.

She gave me Li Shi Liu vibes from A Dream Within A Dream. Female style haha no hat though.

I'll recommend Coroner's Diary because it took me by surprise and is soooooooo awesome! It may not vibe with you but try to check it out some time.

I'm glad someone mentioned this. I am almost done watching and he does indeed suffer from fear of abandonment. He displays many of those traits and that plays a lot on the trust issues. It made me sympathize with him sometimes as someone who dealt with those things. It is understandable though given what Yuan Zhong went through. Trying to hold onto happiness when it was not something he could have before.

I really liked the main couple and the chemistry between the FL and ML was soooo good. I'm really pleased to see LXY with a FL that can match his energy .

He played Chu Gui Hong in A Dream Within A Dream soooo well!!! I was happy to see him in another drama. CGH was annoying as all hells but dammit if the actor played the ish out of it. Craziness and all.

He was my very first 2nd ML Syndrome in Jun Jiu Ling and I'm glad this time he gave me a character to hate instead.

May he get roles he can shine in and show us what he can do! All the best to him!

I like their platonic work relationship. Much better this way.

I didn't understand what is was about ZCX and LFS and why some favored this pairing. Now I know and I sooo agree! I much prefer Xiu's interactions with LFS than Princess Ning, whom I find tiresome. LFS is like a female version of A'Xiu.

I'm sure it won't matter however since it looks like ZCX and ZCN are endgame. Or none at all.

Of course my favorite couple has to be the star-crossed lovers Si Yi Lin and Ka Dan. 😩😣🙄😅🥺🥰

His portrayal of Marquis Ping Jin in Legend of Zang Hai still lives free in my head... It was the first time I ever warched him in anything and now I can't forget him!
Also every time I hear the actor who dubbed him, I cannot help but see the Marquis. Both of their performances have marked me they were that incredible. The best villain of 2025 to me. Hands down.

The Legend of Shen Li is a good one too. There's Luoyang too. The Sleuth of Ming Dynasty. Under The Power. This year's The Prisoner of Beauty and Legend of Zang Hai. The Legend of Zhuohua. Destined. The Rebel Princess. The Imperial Coroner, I cannot wait for season 2. And The Ingenuous One should have a season 2 coming as well. Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty S3 is coming out this year
The Blood of Youth has a second season in the works.

I keep checking Spotify since episode 1 and nothing. I am so mad it's not available yet! The OST for this drama was INCREDIBLE! The fact that they used songs and score from A Journey To Love made it even more amazing! Production team needs to give fhe fans what they want: The full OST haha.

The European classical music chinesized versions had
me chuckle every time lol.

Right? The opening sequence has given us many clues already! It's really cool!
