Game of Thrones
Overall it was a good series. I enjoyed watching. However, there were exaggerations in some places, and things that should not be in other places. We watched Yang Zi. as a male for the first 20 episodes. It was like a different episode. Afterwards, the series fell apart a bit. When it was learned that she was a woman and dressed in this outfit, she was surrounded by three men. Everyone took advantage of the girl as if they were getting honey from the flower. It didn't happen to me. Such a female figure does not suit her. Someone is sucking your blood. He takes it the way he wants. beating. It's dragging. Another is acting like a slave. Another does not remove hair from his nose. Then the immortals were supposed to be, but the girl died, the man she loved died. They were resurrected. It has become the fantastic of the fantastic. These were exaggerated. Now, if it is not right for a woman to act against someone who saves her and bring her back to life, the fact that the woman who treats her well is bad, but the fact that the person she calls her brother has an egotistical approach to kill her without knowing her, causes the woman to become attached to this man at the level of love. A huge discord. Opposition. I couldn't form a bond. People have little conscience. Availability of women is another matter. I didn't like these. I loved her devotion to Jing, and her inability to connect with her grandmother and the person who was touted as engaged was irritating the story, so to speak. The woman is cheating. Even though Jing knows that he is trying to kill the Prince, he does not go into those matters. She doesn't make a point of her brother trying to kill her. He remains a spectator to the woman's relationship with him. Which your brother's wife was going to say, but I think she was killed. We didn't see it. They said that he does not look like a child, but that intelligent and spiritual personality never awakens. Could such purity exist? What kind of a leader is he, as well as a very smart, intelligent, personality, wise person. In other words, these were not taken into account when processing the characters. The pen is gone, the screenwriter. And let's come to the main topic; The Kingdom of Xiyan has become a complete Games of Thrones. My clothes were stolen from them. Second, they became like members of their government. Clans. Approaches of men and women who are related to each other. Your grandfather's behavior and clothing in the same figure as those Kings. It's Chinese work, there's no glamor to it. Where are those silks? A dark palace has been created. Suitable for him are sons, grandchildren, princesses and so on. I thought I was watching Game of Thrones. It's very obvious. I think it will be the second season of the series. Cang became King. He was also surprised. I think the fights will continue. Just like in Game of Thrones. Of course, if I'm lucky, I'll watch that season too.Cet avis était-il utile?

Wuxia done badly
This drama draaaaaaags and has zero propulsion. Everything is foreshadowed. I mean what are the chances that all three male leads just happen to converge at that particular town at that particular moment? Come tf on. I tried so hard to stay with this but it's so fucking boring. Can I also say just how low budget the set design is especially given this is Wuxia and most of the set could have been computer generated? That palace was empty af. Sigh. I just didn't like any of the male leads and I wanted XY to fucking stop smiling in the face of abuse and unending degradation. How was this even a popular book?Cet avis était-il utile?
OVeRHYPED. SILLY PLOT
I am impressed with myself for managing to watch 20 episodes of this show, all thanks to TJC. Although the beginning was good, the story went downhill later on. I must say the actress did an outstanding job portraying her character, but the plot was disappointing.1. It made no sense to develop a romantic relationship between CX and XY when they were shown as bro-sis from the start. They had no chemistry.
2.TJ was a dead weak af character. I tried my best to like him, but I couldn't.
3.XL was a better match for her (but he too was a big red flag but all of us love a red flag), but knowing that he was not the endgame stopped me from continuing to watch the show.
Sorry to say but this goes in my list of worst cdramas.
*** This is my opinion you don't have to agree with me. ***

I am loving this.
I watched this primarily because of YZ, she's my favorite chinese actress. But love it the more i watch the episodes. Love the story (simple but with depth and heart). The cast is amazing even the young xiayao and xuan and the other actors in episode 1 are all great. Yang Zi has matured a lot in her acting, more depth and understanding of the emotions she's expressing. The male leads did not disappoint either. Love each of their characters. Love the set design, cinematography, the script. Kudos to all involved in the production. Can't wait for the next episodes.Cet avis était-il utile?

Wasted potential
I quit this drama around episode 10. I pondered this decision for a long time, because in terms of cinematography, costumes and, most importantly, set design, the drama looks far above average. I abandoned this drama because of the plot, which literally and figuratively is torture.You know, I have nothing against violence, suffering, good torture scenes, but what's too much is unhealthy. Tormenting someone for the sake of tormenting someone is just boring and unpalatable. I think by the third episode I was already fed up with how the creators non-stop emphasize how miserable and tragic FL is. That's the only theme of this drama - she is unhappy, lonely, betrayed. Instead of a healthy relationship between the four main characters, we have BDS&M. Literally. I tried to like any of the 4 main characters, but I can't, because there are more negative traits in any of them than positive ones. In the first episodes I got curious about Little 17, in the next episode they show that he's an asshole. You know, showing the hero's journey from bad to good is cool, but not when all 4 main characters are bad from the beginning. I can accept that I haven't learned the motivations of each of the 3 men so far, but not that I still don't know the motivations of FL.
There are no dynamics here. Every scene is shot at exactly the same pace. It doesn't matter if they are fighting each other or talking at a table, if she is running away through the woods or he is erotically sucking the blood out of her - everything is devoid of dynamics, as if in slow motion, which is tedious and annoying. The pace should change, give the viewer some adrenaline, then a moment to calm down to attack again with something dynamic. Monotony kills interest.
In conclusion - technically the drama is nicely done. I very much appreciate the open air (but the green screen is bad). The plot could have been interesting if it wasn't so monotonous, depressing, beating around the head with the idea of "you're supposed to love FL because she's had a hard life and is so weak that she couldn't even save the cat" (save the cat is the motive). If the pace and characters of this story were varied, more dynamic instead of torturously pathetic, this drama would really be excellent. But it isn't. It is boring. On top of that, the music, which is average and of which there is simply too much, is terribly tiresome. I've watched 10 episodes and can't recall a single pleasant scene. I don't see any point in torturing myself further.

Story Disconnected Ep 1 to 2
I am lost watching this story. It starts out with nice costumes, beautiful effect and settings. Then the woman involved with 4 men. As a Chinese born in the Chinese Opera, I know of a good and bad story. Most Chinese movies and drama have been concerned with kung fu and fighting. But they don't focus on making story strong as Korean Drama.Chinese productions are very choppy and too much talking that dragging forever. What is the story? What happened t the little girl the gap between she left and grew up in a man clothes?

Definitely must watch over and over again
I'm hooked they really did a great job portraying each of their character very well! From the story, their visuals, bgm, cinematography effect and especially their acting! Can't contain my happiness how close the drama from the novel... It was the same as what I imagined while reading the novel last year and I did reread the novel for 5x already... The novel was beautifully written and the drama is perfectly done... The minor changes gave justice to the drama story flows... The FL is the best among the rest... She doesn't care about her own image or visuals to gave life of her character and no questions ask about her acting she really nailed it, it's getting better and better from one drama to another she did from the past. She's great!The male leads also did a wonderful great job... Love them all...

1abuse for the sake of abuse.
Although the acting and the production value of the drama is good, and Yang Zi has a really strong performance, it doesn't change the fact that this romance drama sensationalizes female abuse. We are shown in careful detail how a bunch of men who are trying to fight each other instead end up beat up the FL every time, since she's stuck in the middle trying to help everyone. And she forgives them over and over. What a dreamy scenario.Every two episodes contain scenes of torture or violence against the FL that really aren't necessary for the plot. Two out of the 4 ML basically cause her injuries almost every time they meet. One NPC man tortured her in a dungeon for years. What's more the drama shows that she forgives the abuse and depicts her abusers as romantic, especially for one of the ML.
It says a lot about the societal values of China that so many people are into both the book and drama version of this kind of story.

Realmente, precisa de segunda temporada para fechar as pontas soltas de todos os personagens, mas, até o momento, não consta nada sobre existir uma continuação do drama. Analisando o drama, sem levar em conta o livro, o roteiro é ruim, os personagens não cativam, acho que o personagem mais gostável é o demônio de nove cabeças, Xiang Liu, apesar do personagem não ser o 'herói' do drama, ele é coerente e mais heroico que os demais. O personagem Tushan Jing, poderia ser digno de pena por ser traído pelo irmão, pela avó e pela noiva imposta, mas como ele é apresentado como alguém muito inteligente e astuto, o personagem demonstra ser apenas um covarde sem ação, pois como alguém tão inteligente seria enganado a ponto de achar que o filho que a noiva esperava era dele? Se ele era tão esperto, como nunca desconfiou do romance da noiva com o irmão? O pior personagem é Cang Xuan, em busca pelo poder ele não vacila em sacrificar qualquer coisa, inclusive a felicidade da prima, que ele ama de uma forma muito estranha. Cada vez que Xiang Liu tentou matar Cang Xuan, não nego, torcia para ele conseguir eliminar aquele personagem insuportável. Em relação à personagem Xiao Yao, ela era muito mais interessante enquanto vivia como Wen Xiao Liu, pois era mais decidida e gostável.O elenco teve boas atuações, Yang Zi brilhou ao dar vida a Wen Xiao Liu. Ao longo do drama, quatro personagens estão na linha romântica com a personagem de Yang Zi, mas a "química" entre ela e o ator Tian Jian Ci é maior do que com os demais atores. As melhores cenas do drama são dos dois.
A trilha sonora é ótima e salvou algumas cenas mudas que eram muito longas e, muitas vezes, desnecessárias.
São poucas as cenas de ação, mas são, relativamente, boas.
Não se trata de um final aberto onde a imaginação de quem assiste crie o final, este é um drama sem final, ou seja, uma parte de um drama inacabado.

Epic Novel, Hope Drama is Equally Epic
I watched a few episodes for Tan Jianci. Was curious and ended up reading the translation of the novel by Koala's Playground - TWICE. OMG, am now obsessed with LYF and Xiang Liu. The writer Tong Hua is also doing the screenplay and so far the episodes have been pretty good. I prefer this to TTEOTM and LBFAD, both of which I dropped halfway.The drama isn't a straightforward romance. There are issues of identity, abandonment, ambition, envy, and plenty of imperial intrigue and maneuvering. Hope the drama lives up to the novel which is just fantastic.

A melhor performance de Yang Zi
(08.07.24) Depois de um ano de espera foi lançada a segunda parte de Lost you forever (LYF). E deixei para escrever só agora como amei a primeira parte desse c-drama!Eu nunca fui fã dos trabalhos anteriores da Yang Zi. Nada contra ela mas as escolhas de papéis que sua antiga agência a impunha me davam urticária. Mas por causa do excelente Tan Jianci (de Under the skin) fui assistir LYF e uau!! Já revi algumas vezes e não canso dessa história que tem tons sombrios e personagens com vários tons de cinza.
Wen Xiao Liu é sem dúvida a melhor performance de Yang Zi. Foram poucas as atrizes que trouxeram a sensação de suspensão da descrença quando se passam por homens. Para mim, só Ni Ni, Bai Lu e agora Yang Zi fizeram bem.
Ao contrário dos seus papeis anteriores, aqui Yang Zi não fala com vozinha infantil e está longe de ser uma mocinha ingênua. Xiao Liu/Xiao Yao é uma mulher adulta escondida no corpo de um homem e depois de passar por muitos desastres tenta sobreviver e proteger seus amigos humanos como pode. Se for preciso rastejar e bajular, ele o fará. Ele está muito magoado mas ao mesmo tempo tem medo que sua identidade seja revelada. E daí vem a riqueza da composição desse personagem porque muitas atrizes, ao fazer o papel masculino, ainda parecem com uma beleza e fisicalidade femininas que nos distrai e tira da experiência proposta.
Xiao Liu é um pobre e muito fraco médico de uma pequena aldeia Qingshui do fictício reino de Dahuang que é dividido em três reinos: Xiyan, Haoling e Chenrong. Chenrong e Xiyan são inimigos e pesaram uma guerra enquanto Haoling se manteve neutro. Chenrong foi derrotado por Xiyan mas um exército remanescente se recusou a se render.
Depois de anos de guerra essa pequena vila virou um refúgio para humanos, demônios, divindades. Desertores e refugiados que só querem levar uma vida normal. E Xiao Liu estava levando uma vida sossegada até que tromba com três homens: o torturado e muito ferido Tushan Jing, o requintado vendedor de bebidas Cang Xuan e o assustador general do exército de Chenrong, Xiang Liu (sim, aquele cara de cabelos e vestes brancos que fez a maioria de nós suspirar).
A primeira parte tem 39 capítulos de mais ou menos 40 min e o ritmo da história é muito bom mantendo uma sensação de perigo o tempo todo que nos faz assistir na ponta da cadeira.
A química entre todos os personagens é muito boa e difícil não torcer por eles mesmo sabendo que é impossível controlarem seu destino. Ali todos passaram por algum tipo de abuso, solidão e falta de amor. Talvez alguns podem achar o drama difícil de assistir por ser cru e doloroso mas se você for capaz de digerir essas cenas, será recompensado por uma história emocionante com interpretações incríveis.
"Perdi você para sempre" é a adaptação do terceiro livro da série "The Book of Mountain and Sea" de Tong Hua. O c-drama A Lifetime Love (2017) é a adaptação do primeiro e segundo volumes do livro e prequel (involuntária) deste drama.

LIKEAfter Xiao Yao sent off Zuo Er and what she said to Xiang Liu - my tears!!
When Cang Xuan and Xiao Yao caught in a situation with Yu Jiang and Fang Feng Bei - my tears again..
When Cang Xuan was trying his best to get rid of his "XX" and Xiao Yao helped him through - so much tears....
DISLIKE
Tu Shan Jing drove me so mad.. he doesn't deserve Xiao Yao at all
Xiang Liu was such a flickered minded snake...
