Exciting storyline which keeps you wanting for more

Story
I truly enjoyed the story of this drama, as I do enjoy dramas of fantasy genre. The “evil spirits” have something that they cannot let go of, and most of the reasons portrayed are quite touching. Regrets of not having done something differently, resulting the loss of a loved one, or not wanting to let a loved one know about the truth, for the fear of losing him. The plot was captivating from the start to the end, though I think I would have liked it more should they have more cases and patients to help!

The love of the main couple taught me that love is love, despite the other party being of a different species (evil spirit), as long as you love with your entire heart, you’ll be happy and be able to overcome hardships together! Would like it if they showed Lin Xia being jealous when Tian Dao showed her Bai Qi’s future though. Would be cute hahaha. Can I also add that I am starting to hate plots where couples are separated for a period of time on the last episode and the ending just shows them coming back and kissing and THE END. Not cool or nice tbh, it happens to most fantasy drama and I hate it. It’s the same in My Girlfriend Is An Alien. Would prefer them ending the show after showing them having a happy life together as a couple!!! To me, the sadness felt by the party who was being left on earth wasn’t necessary.

Also!!! I loved the second couple! They were so adorable, but they kind of got together very suddenly hahaha would enjoyed it more if they were to date earlier, instead of getting together only at the end of the series. The friendship of the female lead and the second female lead was kind of abrupt, but I kind of understand it since the second female lead was in a bad place at that time and the female lead was a very kind person. But bao bao aka yang jian is so adorable and was such a good friend to Lin Xia ? He stayed by her side throughout, and helped her through sad times when they had to erase Bai Qi’s memory, definitely a friendship I would want to have! They should have showed more of the second couple, would make the show even better ?

Acting
Didn’t know any of the cast before, except Marcus Li and Ji Xiao Bing, but I have to compliment Bai Yu’s acting! I always find it amazing when an actor or actress manages to portray two different characters well and Bai Yu definitely did it! You can note the difference between the two personalities of the male lead and I think it’s mainly because it was acted out so well. I personally enjoyed Hei Qi’s character since he is someone who puts his heart on his sleeve and Bai Qi was too reserved. Nevertheless, Bai Yu really did a good job for this character! I think I’ll be looking forward to his future projects after this drama since his acting impressed me!

I mentioned that I’ve known Marcus Li and Ji Xiao Bing before this drama, where I’ve seen them in the drama “Be With You”. I think Marcus Li is a pretty good actor as he portrayed the different characters well too! Enjoyed both of his characters in both dramas! As for Ji Xiao Bing, since both drama requires him to have a cold personality (in a way), I hope that he’ll get a character of a different personality so that I can tell whether or not he’s good in acting hahaha but I do like him in Fairyland Lovers, cos he’s so so cute and just innocent in general ?

Music
I enjoy all the songs in the drama. They were all used appropriately at the different mood settings, getting me into the mood of the scenes quickly. Estelle Chen is also a pretty good singer based on the songs that she sang in this drama as I didn’t know of her previously (sorry). I’ll listen to the songs from time to time despite finishing the drama.

Overall
It was a good watch, tugging at my heart several times throughout the series. I think I’ll rewatch it some time in the future for the meanings behind the different stories showed. I highly recommend people to watch it, though it can be improved, it was a really good watch!
