Best Xianxia Drama of 2020

After watching Ashes of Love a while ago, I didn't think I would ever come across another drama that comes up to par with it but Love and Redemption was definitely the best xianxia drama I watched in a while.

It made me feel angry, sad, and happy throughout the whole series and was definitely worth staying up all night, binge-watching without skipping through any parts. All the actors and actresses were amazing but Cheng Yi (Si Feng) stood out the most for me. It was natural and you know they're good when they make you feel all the emotions they convey in the show.

I loved the storyline. The male lead does fall for the female lead first (similarly to Ashes of Love) and all I have to say is SIMP FOR SIFENG. He truly showed how devoted and loyal one could be towards their s/o. He went through so much in all the lifetimes he and Xuan Ji shared together. He was on a-whole-nother level when it came to his willingness to do anything for the one he loves even if it means being seen as the villain by others.

This is definitely worth rewatching and I have been rewatching parts I loved and couldn't forget. I would recommend this to anybody who watched and loved Ashes of Love and Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms.

Some similarities to Ashes of Love:
- FL in L&R doesn't have her 6 senses - cry, smell, taste, seeing colors, feeling pain, cold, and love while FL in AOL doesn't know what love is therefore making them act clueless and almost childish when it comes to love but later on, develops and matures
- ML develops feelings for FL first in both dramas
- The idea of the Heavenly Realm and Demon Realm
- The tribulations each couple goes through
- Both the SMLs tried their hardest to manipulate the FL and put a wall between the ML and FL
- MLs are both "celestial creatures" (Phoenix/Golden Winged Bird)

Some similarities to Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms:
- Both MLs sacrifices a lot for FLs
- Heaven and Demon/Good vs Evil
- The couple in TMOPB went through 3 lives while the couple in L&R went through 10 lifetimes
