watch this show and you won't regret it
General thoughts: What a beautiful drama and story. This drama made me cry for its awesomeness. After weeks I am still obsessed by it and i can't seem to move on. The actors and the music are perfect and the production makes you understand from the first minute that this show is one of the best Xianxia drama ever. The main couple has the biggest chemistry and I feel like they work really well togheter since they have known each other for a while (they worked previously on another drama). This was my first show with Luo Yun Xi and now he is one of my favorite chinese actors. The way he portrayed Tantai Jin's difficult way of living was mesmerizing. I loved also Bai Lu, even if it was my first time seeing her. Her character was bubbly but also strong. I liked the way she could change her destiny. I also loved the poetical cinematography and some lines about life and love.Reasons i recommend this show:
- the music and the production, better than most fantasy chinese dramas i know (i loved the songs "the black moonlight" and "let's be like this for a thousand years")
- the main actors, their acting skills and their chemistry
- a beautiful love story with reincarnation that trascends time and space
- a mix of thousands of different places which looked very realistic in which the scenes are located
- second couples that will make you swoon just like the main couple
- funny moments that make you smile after tragic scenes
Things I didn't like/could have been better (even if i can't find a thing that was really terrible in this show):
- the episodes were too many. i believe that every scene was useful but still i would have liked it more if there were less episodes, following my own personal taste.
- i wish we had more scenes with Bai Lu and Luo Yun Xi alone, because for my taste there were too many fighting scenes and less scenes with them two only, even if the episodes are 40.
- in some parts, the plot: it was a little bit messy.
- the ending. i won't spoil it but i liked it so and so (i usually like shows with this kind of ending but this time i was a little bit disappointed)
I recommend it if you search for a drama similar to "Love between fairy and devil" with a love story between a good girl and a bad boy, but also if you want to watch a fantasy drama with a poetical ambience, pretty traditional costumes and a love story that you will never forget.

A sweet love story
Must-watch if you watched "Till the end of the moon"Introduction: I started this drama only because i wanted more of Bailu x Luo Yunxi after seeing "Till the end of the moon". Even if the two dramas are really different, i enjoyed this couple in both of the dramas and i think that they have a great chemistry. I hope they will cast them together again!
Story: The story is pretty cute and simple. I loved the enemies-to-lovers and the fact the two mains reunite after a while. But, I liked the episodes until episode 24-25. After these two episodes, the story became too boring and plain. They could have made this serie less boring with just 25 episodes, leaving out unnecessary storylines. The main flaw of this show is the plot and the ambience: we see for 36 episodes the life of some workers in a finance entertainment. I personally found this ambience a little too boring and repetitive. But the show is a great mix of law, finance and economy if you like them. Another thing I didn't enjoy the fullest is the second couple: i disliked the actress and compared to the main couple the second one lacked a lot.
Acting/Cast: As I've already said, Bai Lu and Luo Yunxi are wonderful in my eyes. Their couple scenes really make your heart flutter. They're perfect for this role. Other cast was good enough.
Music: I loved the OSTs, really much. They go well with the drama. My favourite songs were: "Things I do for love" by Sunnee and "Blue Bird" by Della J.
Rewatch value: I probably will not rewatch this show any soon because the episodes are too many for my taste.
Overall: 8
I recommend it if you watched Till the end of the moon, if you like Bai Lu or Luo Yunxi, and if you like office romance.

A beautiful fantasy story
This was my first Xianxia drama, and it didn't disappoint. The story was interesting and the costumes and music were great.Things I didn't like: the special effects that sometimes looked too fake. Also, I thought the story could have ended in less episodes. I probably wouldn't rewatch it soon because of the number of episodes.
Things I liked: the main couple has great chemistry and relationship. The setting of this drama was stunning. The music was wonderful. The opening song had drawings that were so eye-pleasing.
I recommend it if you like Xianxia, Esther Yu or Dylan Wang.

"You reap what you sow", The Good Bad Mother
hii this is my first review :) hope you'll find it useful!notes: I started watching "The good bad mother" while on air and i have to say i felt like every single episode was interesting and well-made. If i could, i would have binge-wacthed the whole show.
The thing that you may probably don't think is that this show doesn't have much romance. In fact, it talks about love but not only the one of a romantic relationship, and if you are searching for a rom-com, this isn't what you are looking for.
I liked this show so much and these are the reasons why i would recommend it to everyone:
1. the show makes you understand what the love of a mother really is: the relationship between kang-ho and his mother is made of happy moments and sad moments, but each of them is useful to the development of their relationship. I feel like the story is realistic in this aspect. in each episode you could feel their bond becoming stronger and stronger.
2. the story has a mystery plot that will make you attached to the screen. every episode gives you a little piece of the final puzzle.
3. the acting in this show is sublime: lee do-hyun portraired the perfect choi kangho. but also other actors did the best job. their acting make you understand their feelings, truly.
4. the setting: a peaceful village in the countrysides of korea.
5. the funny moments: even if the show is sad most of the time, it has a satisfying ending and funny moments. i think these scenes are well-balanced.
9. the message of the show: the way they talk about justice and how everyone is going to pay for what they have done at the end.
my overall rating: 9.5 for the acting, the story, the way the story touches your soul
some advises:
don't watch it if you don't want to cry. this show will make you cry lots.
i recommend it if you like lee do-hyun!
