Coming from Dating in the Kitchen, I've been thirsting (for lack of a better word, huh) for another older male, younger female lead pairing.... So Hello, Beauty from the Heart...
I am so scared to continue the rest of this series because I just don't want a Sad Ending. More like, I don't want Xie Yun to die, pretty please writers. Depending on the Ending, I will continue when it's finished.
If you are looking for a mostly slow-paced uncomplicated story with slow burning romance, then yes it's Worth…
Oh I love him but his character here is completely different to the one in The Untamed so if you come hoping to see a little bit of Lan Zhan, I would say pass. Here, he balances playful, flirting and serious (if need be) really well. And Wang Yibo definitely shines again in this one, I would say.
If you are looking for a mostly slow-paced uncomplicated story with slow burning romance, then yes it's Worth a watch. The slow pace has actually became something I live about this drama. Oh and Bonus point is...No freaking Love Triangles (if there are not your thing)
I think Ep 39 has just become My Best Ep. to date...Yep, for that reason. So I shall watch, rewatch, re-rewatch and abuse watch my favourite scene to my heart's content.
In pyohms we watched refreshing romance where as in this after watching trailer i felt like their will be matured…
Yeah, this has some spicy kisses in it and I'm game. And also it makes more sense for them to be a bit mature in their romance as they are professional adults whereas in PYHOMS they were students until near the end (still we got our fair share of kisses and cuteness)
Just saw the trailer and I Actually Love It? Shocked? Yeah, very much so because I wasn't meant to like it for obvious Put Your Head On My Shoulder reasons...LOL But seriously though, I was very apprehensive about it, maybe because PYHOMS is still fresh on my mind and the leads there have a special place in my heart but something about this trailer just hooked me. Don't know if it's the height difference (which I can relate to as a shorty myself) or the ML voice which is soothing to listen to (is it dubbed?) or something else...just can't put my finger on. And Fair Xing...oh I like this actress so much. My pet-peeve though is Why oh Why is it 40eps. LONG!...
Side note- I notice how many Chinese actors (especially the young ones) are not versatile with their roles which would make more one dimensional in their acting. However, one thing I appreciate in some of them like Fair Xing is they play to their strengths even if it's one genre. She is definitely a really good actress in these idol romantic dramas.
The only pet-peeve I have for the Lost Tomb series is how they always have an ambiguous ending and you get another series but not a continuation to the last (as in the ending). Other than that, This series was my personal best Tomb series thus far. It just had the right balance of everything and chemistry between our Iron Triangle (especially Wuxie and Qiling) was amazing. Well done to the actors.
I'm so hyped up for this one... Two of my fav. actors leading this and Park Shin Hye kicking a**. It's always nice having the woman protecting the man from the Baddies...
So, Hye Ji unni has confirmed that she is indeed dating Hyun Bin...Congratulations to them But honestly I don't have any particular feelings about the news because, after Song Song couple I have kind of learned to curb my happy feelings on any celebrity couples.
That "fight" between Li Sheng and Yang Jin phahahaa I laughed so much! I'm now laughing and enjoying every scene…
Absolutely, more enjoyable now... Ah-Fei has certainly learned something from Xie Yun in the romace department and their flirting has gone to new heights. My fav scene is when they enter a clothing shop and XY pulls Ah-Fei close (I had to hold my breath thinking he was going to kiss her, as he should, lol) which was supposed to be romantic but ended up becoming a tumble with a curtain tangled with them....again meant to be romantic but I laughed so much. There has been moments where I really want them to just kiss (right now, I can take even a dead-fish kiss...that's how desperate I am) and nope , it doesn't happen...dammit Oh and Ah-Fei is becoming popular among the boys..hehe and she doesn't seem to care (each of her reactions to them is so hilarious)
Two things I have found Legend of Fei quite an enjoyable watch for me are: 1) Relatable characters and story (not always but sometimes) Believe it or not, but one thing I have found in most Wuxia dramas is the fantasy storyline which is amazing if done well but the problem is I could not relate (I just had to eneter their world to enjoy the story). So in Legend of Fei, I can actually relate with characters like Fei, Xie Yun, even Li Sheng(sometimes) and other side characters stories. Even with it's out of this world storyline and fighting scenes, certain scenes brings something real to learn. Eg. When Fei was told about being a great hero is not determined by how many people you kill but how many you save etc. Even the big baddie has a story and someone he cares about. Oh and how the villains turn on eachother or become friends if they share a common goal. There is no blind loyalty or forever friend and I love that, it shows a lot about humans. 2) The imperfections sometimes works on this drama's favour Tbh, watching ep 20-25, I was like what a beautiful mess this is. From strategy to fight scenes, it was not done perfectly and yet it made sense. I mean I would have doubted the whole series if Fei and Co. would come up victorious unscathed or be these genius strategist. The fact that everyone was rusty gave depth to their characters since they are novices to frontline war so it was so understandable for the villains to have the upperhand and nearly won. And I love that, Fei and co. joined hands to fight the villains which was a team effort not only the main leads (okay, Xie Yun saved the day but still).
This is my observation and probably what has made me continue watching this Wuxia series....

Guan Xiaotong and Neo Hou, my 2 fav.
So Hello, Beauty from the Heart...

Was thinking, why is his face so familiar ?
I guess I'm being Greedy now, hehe
Here, he balances playful, flirting and serious (if need be) really well. And Wang Yibo definitely shines again in this one, I would say.

Oh and Bonus point is...No freaking Love Triangles (if there are not your thing)
Chu Chu is paired up with someone else.
I'm on ep. 40 and so far...no love triangles.
So I shall watch, rewatch, re-rewatch and abuse watch my favourite scene to my heart's content.
