Most of the fans are hating on OOL because of Yang Zi and Xiao Zhan, I totally understand that if you dislike one of the casts so you choose not to watch. But OOL is totally different from any other modern chinese dramas, the storyline captures my heart mostly, beautiful and touching yet filled with sadness. I hope you guys can watch Yang Zi as Lin Zhi Xiao and Xiao Zhan as Gu Wei only!! - The story is so touching as GW is one of the boyfriends you'll never encounter in this life, such a green flag, sweet, kind and caring towards LZX a lot.
- LZX is kinda immature and childish but you will find out that she has been the strongest among her family, willing to carry her family's burden and she never complains once even though she is so tried.
- The love between GW & LZX is so sincere and pure, at one scene where GW is holding an umbrella for LZX when he saw her running without umbrella in the rain. Then LZX also makes sure GW is also under the umbrella. THAT WHAT MAKES MY HEART FLUTTER, a man is caring towards his beloved and at the same time, his woman also cares for him back!! This type of love is what everyone wants, TRUE & PURE LOVE!!
- Not to forget abt Yang Zi & Xiao Zhan's chemistry is on next level, so insane, NO JOKE!! I can't imagine other actresses and actors acting as LZX & GW, they are born for these roles.
- OOL not only includes love between a man & a woman but also the relationship between a father & a daughter. A father tends not to show his love completely in front of his family but he has always been the back bone of the family, gives all of his love to his wife & his daughter.
- LZX & Mr Lin's scenes always never fails to make me cry, especially when LZX's family and GW's family met to discuss abt the wedding, Mr Lin's words for LZX is so touching and that's when I START CRYING NONSTOP!! Father's love for his daughter is so pure and sincere yet can break your heart into pieces at the same time.
Thank you director, actors, actresses, scriptwriters, crews and everyone for creating this masterpiece which wins my entire heart completely. I wish there are more types of dramas like this. Also, I hope to see Yang Zi & Xiao Zhan in another drama like historical xianxia or republican will do!!

Ying Yuan: "Agarwood has turned into dust" "But there is still the warmth of our love"
"If the agarwood hadn't turned into dust, could we go back to how things were?"
- His eyes were filled with tears, painfully staring at her expressionless eyes. Hopefully asking for the answer that he wanted but she is still cold towards him.
If you are searching for the drama where FM is not only strong but also intelligent and so mature enough to understand ML, then Immortal Samsara is for you. CGI of IS is so breathtaking and touching! IS also teaches us that love isn't everything sometimes, you can't sacrifices everyone's precious life just for your greediness over love.
The story is so beautifully written as Ying Yuan & Tang Zhou's love for Yan Dan is so pure while Yan Dan's love towards both Ying Yuan & Tang Zhou has always been sincere.
Yan Dan may be childish at the beginning but after she experienced the pain from love and everything, her maturity never fails to amaze me. Yan Dan realizes that the true definition of LOVE = Protecting what your beloved ones cherishes!
Ying Yuan loves Yan Dan in his own way, he chose not to recognize to keep her save from the punishment, he still has to protect Three Realm as without the peace of the world, he will lose Yan Dan too. Yan Dan misunderstand him but she later witnesses with her own eyes that what will happen if Ying Yuan chooses her over the responsibilities.
Tang Zhou, who is the real SML, suffers a lot between Ying Yuan & Yan Dan, he didn't do anything wrong, just purely loves Yan Dan but he never got her love back until the end because of his past life. He became the punching bag between them for Ying Yuan and Yan Dan to finally realize that they can protect each other while choosing the responsibilities too.
The real love triangle is between Ying Yuan - Yan Dan - Tang Zhou, three of them are actually innocent. They just fell in love with their beloved one but the fate is so cruel towards them no matter where they are, Heavenly Realm or Mortal Realm.
Huge respect to Yang Zi & Cheng Yi and all actors, actresses. I can totally sense the differences between Ying Yuan & Tang Zhou, all thanks to CY's amazing acting. His eyes speak everything, YY and TZ is the same person but the personalities, expressions and love towards Yan Dan are so different. Thank you Immortal Samsara for keeping me accompany all the time!

- The story is just perfect the way they are, IS's plot is so different from many xianxia dramas so I see nth is wrong with the plot but the only problem I have with the script & scriptwriters is that why the romance is so little between YY & YD? I'm not satisfied of how we only get to see sweet moments rarely in every ep. - They have YZ & CY as their main leads so definitely the acting is 100% amazing. They had portrayed their roles perfectly, I can't imagine YY & YD being played by other actors & actresses. All the casts and crews' hardworking is something we should appreciate and I pay huge respect to every cast.
- The chemistry between YZ & CY is mostly my fav, they don't have many romance scenes yet they are able to show their chemistry successfully to the audience! One of the reasons why IS has won my heart!
- The original soundtracks are so good, my fav is the opening theme song. The lyrics is just made for IS only, love how they include the storyline and plot in the song. Like how each song describe each character (mostly YY & YD)'s love for each other, the responsibilities they held and how they wish they could tell them, they include everything in the OSTs.
- I will definitely re-watch again & again as I've never felt bored when watching IS so I would like to recommend to all of u guys to try watching for like 6-10 eps at least.
