Best xianxia I've watch so far
Didn't expect anything from this one since the leads aren't that popular and I have a little bad Impression of Dylan at acting but I was so shocked with the quality. From stunning visuals, effects, costume, character depth, it was so good. Acting is also not bad. I just want more brother scenes with dongfang and his brother plus more scenes with the two long lost sisters and Yu Shuxin being DongFang.. Not a fan of cute childiah character so it took me a while to love the drama.Ending felt quite rushed but it's okay.
Ost was super super super good. I keep replaying Farewell Love.

One of the best series to come out of China in 2022.
This series embodies the word "perfection." From the stunning cinematography, the enormous effort put into the CGI, the way the costumers intrinsically knew how to dress and style the cast (especially the ML), the fresh story line, the beautiful OST and the brilliant performances by all, noting Dylan Wang who brought his A game to this series. Dylan's romantic connection with the FL is off the charts and his acting chops are present throughout in a big way. The series wouldn't be such a success without Esther Yu and she deserves kudos as well. In my humble opinion, this is one of the best series to come out of China in 2022.Cet avis était-il utile?
Take the risk and watch it or lose the wonder
When I first saw the title in the upcoming section on Iqiyi I knew from the moment this is going to be special. And indeed it has become very special and how?The first and second half are some of very refreshing takes on routine xianxia stories. And I am very skeptical that it passes censorship in China. But I think probably the last half made sure this series pass the censorship.
I am still much contented they give a solid love story and the best anti-hero in C-dramaland. For me the series ended when Orchid proves that she is qualified to become the Moon Queen. Even though DFQC may never achieve Hellfire again, I am alright with it because he is more than Hellfire in his heart and cultivation.
Since the love story is my only priority here everything else goes over my head.
The acting by Dylan and Esther top notch in this and the hardwork by everyone from the behind the scenes is very much telling on the screen. All the best for everyone involved in this rare wonder.
If you are still wondering whether to watch or not, this is a risk worth taking.

A beautiful world created in Xianxia
I don't really write reviews, but for some reason I felt compelled to give this one a review.To be honest, I just loved this drama because of the powerful and charismatic ML, leads have great chemistry, the production is so beautiful and the story is not the same old Heavenly Realm stories. (I have no idea why only they are called Immortals while both realms are immortal. Even to some extent both have deities, but I don't know if dramas acknowledge this fact.) Really if you look at most traditional mythologies, different cultures and tribes would consider what are called today the 'demons' or' anti-gods' as their deities while other groups consider the ones called today 'gods' as deities. This is many times the case when it comes to the same mythology with the same beings being told by different groups with the heroes and villains different according to the culture.
LBFD actually has a powerful being from the opposing realm, actually the most powerful of the three realms. Even in the end, he still was the only being who harnessed great power the other beings hadn't seen in their lifetimes or eras. And not only did LBFD show the Moon Realm in a fair light, they also write into the story a rivalry that doesn't blame the Moon Tribe. Moon Tribe did what they had to do, and while they harbored hate, it was due to their circumstances of having to defend and protect themselves.
It's not perfect, there are some flaws but nothing that is unwatchably annoying or cannot be overlooked
*I didn't really care about Jie Lie or her romance, but it's not something I can't look past or really felt the need to FF through.
*The general use of 30,000 years without really specifying how long DQC was Moon King before being imprisoned.
*Few scenes dragged towards the end in the sandstorm battle
*When they first get back to Moon Realm there was some stupidity amongst the characters. But it was also understandable that at that point, Orchid wouldn't care about the chaos Moon Realm could fall into and their defeat, but rather worried about the protection of her fairy realm and those she knows--even at the cost of her life.
*Jie Lie, like I said, is a character that is ehhh. Don't even know how she was just allowed to run around doing stupid things, but whatever... some characters are needed for plot.
Unlike others I don't mind the quick ending. Because really the story is finished there. It's okay for the audience to assume the rest, which were already told by the other characters would happen once the ending occurred.

We will never be apart.
Okay, so now Im having a withdrawal symptoms. I so love the OST the background music and score, theyre so well executed. And the actors.Esther is one of my fave actress, I love her voice, naturally I always watch her dramas and I didnt expect she had an ongoing drama and now shes paired with Didi.
Their chemistry is no joke, they are so immerse with their roles and characters and thats what makes it so loved by many and the plot is so unique.
The ending, its a typical cdrama ending but its happy though viewers want to see them wed and have kids so I think thats our expectations after all, its a very great series.
LBFAD easily top my cdramas.
Rewatch? Definitely, I would watch this all over again.

The ML saves the day!
I wanted to love this drama so much, but in the end, the actors and their performances saved the day. The screenwriters did a poor job of telling the story, had so many holes and half-told arcs that left me hanging or to imagine what happened. I'm also a great fan of Karma, and there wasn't much of that (or enough) for me. But then, the actors saved the story!The chemistry between the couples was great - some more than others, but it worked. The friendships, the betrayals, the villains - you loved them, and you hated them. You laughed with them and cried with them. The actors did a phenomenal job. Dylan Wang was the perfect Moon Supreme. The development of his character was played superbly- his arrogance at first, his cold almost inhumane demeanor - and the confusion with which he faces his emotions again, and eventual surrender to true love. It made the show for me.
Unfortunately, the story dragged in several places where the filming/action were almost in slow motion or so repetitive that I fast-forwarded through a lot of scenes (screenwriters again). If the stories are told well the viewers will understand what is happening and why. We were left to figure it out or imagine in too many arcs. Fortunately, the relationships/couples kept me coming back for more. After all that wasting of time the writers could have given us a better ending for the lead couple. An explanation of how he comes 'back' - what the FL did in the meantime - after all, 500 years is a l-o-n-g time. It was a real let-down.
And then, there were those two 'bonus' episodes? Replays of scenes from the series told as though it was an 'update'. What a waste of time! That dropped my review points immediately - and only the actors deserved this rating (and more).

A love story with a fantasy backdrop
"Love Between Fairy and Devil" works best when its primary focus is on the love story between the two leads. This is why the first 1 - 9 episodes feel like 5 minutes long. We get to see a two people who should be enemies - and are seemingly ill-fated - fall into a pace and companionship that will lead to authentic love. The story suffers when it spends too much time on its antagonists and when it introduces random subplots that are never followed through properly. But this is mostly a problem during the last third of the show although its impact is glaring because the ending felt rushed and unsatisfactory. I enjoyed the journey between Orchid and Daqiang, but I wanted the resolution to be much more concrete. Instead, it left more questions than answers.Great chemistry between Dylan Wang and Esther Yu though.

Favourite of the year
This was a surprise drama I hadn't expected to like so much, but it's fast-pace, cgi, and comedy drew me to it. It's a beautiful romance, and redeemed Dylan Wang as an actor in my eyes. This is a drama I would recommend watching, especially if you love a story that focuses on the main leads, their romance, and their development as individuals.The reason I've only given it 9 stars instead of 10 was the ending felt rushed, as did the side plots. This was a drama I could've happily watched to 40 episodes to see other stories fleshed out. Jie Li and Shang Que were fun to watch, but we barely watched any development between them, and so their romance fell flat a bit. I also felt Jie Li was an interesting character but didn't get anywhere near enough time to flesh out her backstory/ main story. Same with Shang Que, he was a dragon, yet we see very little of his power, and when trouble came, he was rarely found. In the end, being sisters to Danyin had very little impact and could've been written out. I was also intrigued by the Arbiter and her love story, but only saw a brief glimpse, not even a, hey after the peace treaty they were rescued from their prison. These little side stories can elevate a drama to 10 stars.
I was also disappointed the emperor didn't die. He was horrible.
However, this world was incredibly interesting, and I wouldn't say no to a season 2, I think corrupting the emperor would make an interesting story. Better yet, bring back the Arbiter, and lets roll the dice and play with fate?

PERFECTION OF FANTASY ROMANCE COLOSAL DRAMA
Bad english, try my best.First of all i want say thank you in deeply way to the producer and writer who brought this drama, they fillfull my imagination for perfect romance fantasy colosal drama. If you asking me what i want to see from romance fantasy colosal drama, Love Between Fairy and Devil is the answer. Powerful Villain/Anti Hero - Sunshine Protoganist love stroy? Check, Enemies to lovers? Check, Amazing fantasy world building story? Check, Best chemistry from main couple? Check, Check and Check.
This drama have simple story, story about love. But delivered in amazing way. The main plot is forbidden love, two opposite person who shouldnt meet and falling love meet by destiny. The main couple get heart curse so that their soul connected, our most powerful and fearless anti hero a.k.a Dongfang Sincang (DFQC) must connected to the most weak, sloppy, spoiled yet pure heart Orchid Fairy. He force to protect the fairy in order to protect himself, ofcourse he will find a way to break the curse and kill Orchid, but they are falling in love (obvisiouly). We will see their love grow scene by scene, we will see their stunning yet hurting love development from hate to love to willing to die for each other. Romance and comedy blend very well, there also glimpse of war and political issues, not that deep but still important becauce everything this opposite couple do for their love connected to their country or clan. Everything comes with consequence. So i feel what characters do in this drama is reasonable.
What i love the most about this drama is chemistry of main couple. They really show us what opposite attractive love looks like. I love how DFQC is most powerful human being in the story but becomes so soft time by time just for his pure heart Orchid Fairy. In this case, Dylan Wang as DFQC is perfection, you can see his emotion and passion for his character, especially the duality when he have to acting charismatic af as DFQC and also cuteness overload as Orchid. also for Esther Yu really potray Orchid in perfect way, tbh is kinda hard to loving sloppy and spoiled character, but Esther deliver that behaviour in Orchid very loveable, if not Esther, maybe i cant love baby Orchid. Big appluse for them.
Beside that, every side characters also have their time to shine, each sub plot very interesting. For 36 episode, i am enjoying it so much, i barely find boring scene. The world buliding also solid, every costum and music very stunning. The CGI of this drama also a big applause, magicaly beautiful. The only one i would complain about this drama is how short the episodes, i think i can wath DFQC and Orchid love story over and over again without feel bored. Hope for seasons 2 or atleast special episode :")
This is my first china drama i can finish, and i am deeply in love with every aspect of this drama. This may sound very subjective but even korean drama which is my usual watch cant beat my love for LBFD. If you looking for Anti-Hero-Protagonist opposite attractive love story you may want to watch this drama. I guarantee you will love this.

This is the only xianxia that deserves more episodes
This is my 2nd review of 2022, best xianxia right here! Just like that, LBFAD kicked ALP to the curb. I started watching this after watching LLTG… I moved on so quickly from 081 to DFQC, I can’t help but compare the 2 shows. In particular, how our leads expressed their love. DFQC was true to his word from start till end, always prioritising XLH - this was my favourite bit.The one thing I liked most about this xianxia in particular, is how DFQC warmed up so quickly to XLH. Apparently this is narrated quite differently from the novel, I like it better this way cos we get to see them spend lots of quality time together. They take “unwavering love” to the next level by truly keeping to their promises. It’s also one of the rare xianxias that keep angst to the minimum (but tears still guaranteed, this had me in tears right till the very end).
I also enjoyed the mortal arc but only because they went there as themselves and not for a tribulation. Each and every phase they experienced together from shuiyuntian to the mortal realm and beyond was so precious. 36 eps means that it’s fast paced from the get go, never draggy. But I feel like we could’ve gotten at least 4 more episodes. Our leads are so endearing and they support each other through thick and thin, they deserve more than just a lifetime of happiness!
The main theme of the show is about sacrifice and love that prevails. With a great soundtrack to boot! It’ll be a shame to miss out on this gem. Rewatch value 10000/10 in fact I feel like rewatching it now.
