This will probably be an unpopular review but to each his/ her own. I’m still in the first few episodes but…
This isn't really an unpopular opinion lmao. Your opinion was the popular one when this drama first aired. Especially in China, everyone who isn't a crazy JJY stan echoed that sentiment.
When MDL users give a romantic xianxia a 7.5, you know the drama's bad😭. Really unfortunate. I had high hopes for this drama. It was one of my most anticipated and now I am extremely wary of the next installments of the franchise.
i love them both but it doesn't seem promising, dahyun has no acting experience and they're both way older than…
Whether or not they "pass" as high schoolers is honestly irrelevant. Movies have literally always cast people way older than high school age to play students. Hell, Dahyun is two years younger than Michelle Chen was in the original. Also, Kai Ko the ML in the original movie, had no acting experience before the movie.
Fox spirit matchmaker Douban score is now 3.2Best douban score dramas in 20241.War Of Faith 7.82.Legend of shenle7.23.Joy…
That's a good call. I've been pleasantly surprised by many dramas with low scores and I've also been really disappointed with highly rated ones. Online ratings across the board aren't the best metric.

I want to say that Eternal Love's score tanked on douban because of the plagiarism controversy. Douban scores definitely aren't all unreliable and they tend to be far more accurate than MDL. Look at last year's An Ancient Love Song. No traffic actors, low budget, still one of the highest rated dramas on douban in 2023.
I think Yang Mi has also a huge Fanbase....so If Cheng Yi's next drama also like this...then it will definitely…
I mean, fandom absolutely does play a role. Yang Mi may have a large fanbase but Cheng Yi's is way more intense. They'll show up and help amp up the hype for the drama. Ultimately if the dramas a dud then the dramas a dud, but Cheng Yi's fans will help at least with viewership😭
