Love Game in Eastern Fantasy (2024)

Good drama

The story is good, and the OST is great too.
The only thing I hate is the ending. They didn't even hug each other, and Liu Fu Yi and Mu Yao didn't even come out at the end. I also wish Yu Shu Xin would try making more serious dramas. I know she's cute, but it's too much for her. I wish for Yu Shu Xin dramas more like thrillers, like "My Journey To You." That's all, and it's also highly recommendable to watch.

It's also recommendable to watch "Moonlight" after watching "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" because Ding Yu Xi is also an author there, and it's like a continuation of "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy."

Fabulous show all the way

Love game in eastern fantasy,is an entertaining, engaging,exciting drama from the beginning to the end.It strikes a right balance between love,hate,friendship and siblings bond.
Firstly,Ling Miaomiao,the female lead,is taken to ancient times to play the role of Lin Yu,a character from the novel she is currently reading, written by her favourite author,Fu Zhou.There she meets,Mu Yao,Mu Sheng,Liu Fuyi and Cui Cui.The rest of the story deals with how these team of five eliminated evil and restored peace in the world.
The friendship between these five is remarkable and deserves to be the main asset of this drama.They stand by one another,do not give up in any circumstances and are willing to go to great lengths for the rest of the four.Thir bond stands out as the main highlight of this drama.
The plot is well written and executed with a load of twists and turns that unfold at right times and keep us glued to our seats from the start to the end.The plot is very good and strong too with an excellent pace and screenplay.
Esther Yu,is excellent in her role of Miaomiao,She is vibrant,lively,active,caring,loving, amiable,and responsible too.I really loved her character and also her portrayal.She is another main asset of this drama.Be it her cute or confused state,or romantic expressions,she nailed them with perfection.For me,she is the best character in this drama.
Ding Yuxi,Zhu Xudan,Yang Shize and all the other star cast were perfect in their roles and excelled in bringing life to the roles they played
A special mention of Lu Yu Hao,who played Cui Cui .He was cute,helpful and friendly.His affection towards his friends is remarkable.
The costumes were excellent.They matched each and every situation perfectly.
The settings were too good and were very bright.The visual effects were also perfect.
Finally,it is really one of the best dramas I have watched.It is a very very interesting and engaging drama with good comedy also to lift up your moods.A highly recommended drama with a different concept.
A MUST WATCH !!

a great drama with a bit of a frustrating end

Honestly, I came into this drama REALLY excited, since it has everything I use to love when reading webtoons, so I felt like I found the Holy Grail when I saw this drama that was just like 70% of all the webtoons/mangas I read lol
And I’m glad to say that, despite the ending being a little frustrating and not exactly what I wanted or expected, this drama didn’t disappoint.
I loved the visual effects and the wardrobe of this show which was just on point and everything we expect when it comes to Wu Xia dramas. The soundtrack was also perfect in every moment and I even add the OST of the show to my playlist (that’s a first tbh).
Moving on, I loved the romance on this show! Both from them main couple, but also the secondary one. I loved how each couple had different struggles to deal with while trying to be together and how we get both: a friends to lovers AND an enemies to lovers here.
I’m not really a huge fan of Esther Yu, since I feel like most of her roles are too cutely for my taste, but I came to truly love her in this drama, seeing how much of a great actress she is, specially by the end, when she portrays different characters that share the same face and you can completely see the change happening between them and how none of the three are the same.
I also have a MAJOR crush on Ding Yu Xi now. The man is just… AAAAA I can’t even put it into words, but he’s just captivating and I loved every bit of him on this show.
Overall, I just want to say this is a great show and totally worth the watch, and although the end may be a bit frustrating it’s not like we, drama lovers, aren’t used to that.

Love yourself before loving someone else

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is your typical isekaid drama where the Female Lead transmigrates into the world of a novel she left a bad review for . In that world, she inhabitants the body of the Second female lead who's supposed to be secretly evil. Her mission is to save the world and conquer the heart of Mu Sheng, who has a complex personality.

The drama is very funny and the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I enjoyed it for the most part. It feels like I'm watching an anime but with Chinese mythology, the stories of the demons are also interesting in the beginning at least. I feel like the drama lost its momentum a bit in the 2nd half.

It started becoming more and more boring towards the end and many plot points didn't make sense, it felt like they were added just to increase the time span. Many arcs were utterly boring but the magic that Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi create by being together was interesting enough to continue. The supporting characters were not memorable except Cuicui and his grandpa.

It's essentially a drama about self love and how we should be kinder to ourselves and the people around us. How we shouldn't judge people by their status if they are demon or human. Both can be evil or kind. We shouldn't fixate too much towards endings, it's the journey that counts. Although these messages and theme are beautiful and made me cry a bit, especially how they portray the beautiful bond of friendship and romantic relationships. But i felt the execution of these themes could've been better.

Overall, it was trying to be something more but it kind of failed to be but the romance was incredible, I wish we had more moments of them and the comedy is also brilliant. Despite all the flaws, it's actually a pretty good drama to watch once.

8/10

IT WAS ACTUALLY GREAT and i typically don't like reborn into book "isekai" dramas

Definitely do not pass this one up! The ending managed to be wholesome, even though everyone wished for more.
Story: FL is a mega fan of the author who wrote this fictional book Love game in eastern fantasy. She dreams of it one night and experiences an epic adventure as the main character of the book.

To be honest, i watched the first few episodes and thought it would be really cringe. But i kept going. And i'm so glad i did.

At the end, i was sure they would botch it up. How could they tie up the historical love story with real life ? Basically, you will find out the reason the author wrote the book this way and why FL dreamt of it. As well as why Male lead felt like he never had a mother.

In summary, the soundtrack was great, special effects were high quality, acting was great on all parts, and the story had lots of good themes.

A história realmente começa promissora com a nossa protagonista Miaomiao entrando no mundo do romance recém lançado de seu autor favorito, mas que ela havia detestado o final. Dentro do romance ela tenta mudar o final para conseguir voltar para sua realidade. Entre suas missões está conquistar o coração de Zi Qi, que odeia sua personagem no romance. O que rende boas cenas engraçadas nos primeiros episódios.

Porém, conforme vamos imergindo na história acabamos esquecendo que estamos no "romance" de Fu Zhou e todas as vezes que isso acontece Miaomiao e nós, expectadores, somos lembrados pelo "sistema" que ela está dentro de uma história de ficção. Mas, conforme isso vai acontecendo repetidas vezes, especialmente nos momentos finais, vai ficando chato. Uma história é contada e em seguida substituída por outra o que me deixou muitas vezes com a sensação de andar em círculos ou me sentir indiferente com o que acontecia, pois era provável que seria mudado muito em breve.

Sinceramente achei a história do livro muito mais interessante do que a história "real" do Fu Zhou e Miaomiao da "realidade". O final não foi satisfatório para mim porque não apresentou uma solução para o livro, pelo menos não foi apresentada a resolução para os expectadores.

Não gostei tanto quanto gostaria, mas o drama foi um grande sucesso, portanto, se não se sinta contrariado por uma opinião negativa e assista. Gostos e opiniões variam e talvez você venha gostar.

It's Review time

Okay so let me get started ,this drama kept me hooked but i felt like last two episodes were rushed ,i was waiting for the MLs to have a proper interaction in modern world .

About Acting
as always esther yu has swayed it and i just love her bubbly nature ,her acting is versatile ,the way she portrayed 3 characters and you can still tell them apart just because of her acting ,the way master Mu,Lin Yu and MiaoMiao differ is visible and it's all the way esther acter..as for the male lead the development of his character ,traumas and overcoming past it was just awesome.

relationship development
the way ziqi and miaomiao's relationship developed with each episode was incredible ,the story line was perfect until it was in ancient time....

Story line
i was a lil disappointed when i saw that they kept the ending open instead of clearing it was showing a happy ending ,they kept all the characters hanging in the past ,i loved lil shoot cuiui he is adorable and the present one was just cherry on top..

overall it was better but could have been best if they didn't rushed it and showed a lil of modern era too..

Love you all..
