A must-watch!
I was excited when I heard the news that Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu have a reunion drama. They are my favorite Chinese CP. I was quite hesitant at first since Xianxia is really not my cup of tea. I tried watching some in the past and I can't even get past at episode 3. Lol. For me, Xianxia (or even Wuxia) is a difficult genre to understand since it's historical/fantasy and the plot is kind of overwhelming. But I still gave this a try since it's a YunLu drama.As a first-timer, I find it quite easy to understand which is good. There were only times that I got really stressed with the plot. Their love-hate relationship is kind of frustrating at some point just because of a misunderstanding which resulted from a miscommunication (which happens almost all the time). But I must say that LY and BL's chemistry is really at par. I hope they get another drama in the future because I've been rewatching Love is Sweet for the nth time. And now I'm adding this drama to my rewatch list.
Overall, I highly recommend this drama. The casting and costumes are great, even the OSTs (I was surprised at how great all the OSTs this drama has). Give lots of love to Luo Yunxi and Bai Lu! 💕

The chemistry between the leads is chemistry-ing!
If you're leaning towards great chemistry in choosing a drama to watch, you should give this a try!Most of the time, I discover dramas because of a fan edit in social media and this is one of them. No doubt, the main leads have great chemistry! 💯 I would also like to commend how they portrayed their roles. This is not your usual romantic drama with many skinship and kissing scenes but the two of them managed to deliver intense chemistry on this show. It's my first time watching both of them, they are really promising actors. I hope they blossom more and take different genres in the future. But then I hope they could also reunite someday ❤️
Overall, Derailment is a good drama tapping a different genre than usual. I just think they should've focused more on the scifi aspect because the first part of the drama is really interesting. I also liked how they focused on Jiang Xiaoyuan's character growth eventually. Rewatch value is just fair but this is still on my fave cdrama list!
