cute
WOO! i loved this drama!!! i really enjoyed the romance of yanhui and tianyao! the drama was also liek super funny throughout (minus the emo end) and i LOVE! plus the “she falls first but he falls harder and now they are soulmates and would die for each other” SO YUM!! i hate how at the end they couldn’t be together tho. i wish they spent more time together. plus like how did she revive… like i need more backstory… they dragged out the dark lord and the evil witch girl TOO LONG. i want my hui hui and yaoyao scenes😭😭😭😭my fav part def has to be when bai ???? was match making them and they had to act all lovey. so cute hehehehe. or when the two of them went into the screen thing to master the ghostly wuology. CUTE! but so many deaths. and i want more with them interaction. BAD KISSES BRO! like 3 maybe but nothing good 😴 ok pretty good tho! a better cdrama!!

Awesome!
What a fantastic journey! Love it so much.. some scenes is just worth rewatching! The chemistry between the leads are just over the top. Wow.But.. the kissing scenes were badly executed. I mean, i dont know how the direction for kissing done but the kissing scenes were like those old movies where they just touched lips and looked wide-eyed. I am sure the actors can do better than that..perhaps restraint by directors?
But dont get those scenes to put you off.. no.. enjoy the whole story and what a ride. It is such a powerful and sweeping epic. I was a bit sad to reach the end.
A happy but very illogical ending during the last 5 minutes. ..haha.. wish the writers could explain more about the ending. But ok.. i can still move on. 😏😏
Going to find more of ML [Neo Hou Minghao] dramas to watch..he is just sooooo handsome swoonworthy to watch!..am watching A Girl Like Me now.. so far so fun!
Does anyone know his IG, FB or Tiktok handle? Do share!

Great series!
I really loved this one. A great storyline and it kept moving w great adventure and purpose in the series. It was well acted. I loved the casting in this series .. all very good acting. The main couple had great chemistry to make it work too. I really liked the supporting cast as sometimes their storyline is not so interesting but these all were. This writer is a good one. Would like to follow her more. The adventure kept moving into a wild yet interesting ride. I was hooked also by the romance in this particular series. Sometimes some characters just act but not too believable in their romance but all of these couples were very charming and had such a warm feeling in their roles. I m new to these series in general but so far I'm really appreciating them in a way I didn't expect. They have the ability to carry you off into their world and you really look forward to each new show. Ha ha ! 😊Cet avis était-il utile?

This one is going to stay in my heart forever
Different dramas hit differently to different people ... As for me "back from the brink" is the one that is going to stay at the top in my heart forever ..The story along with its executive was superb,everything from VFX to background music was so spot on like the team behind the camera is as enthusiast as the actors in making this into a masterpiece piece.
We discuss about the cast and their acting ..the dragon King "tianyao" NEO Hao, he played it so well I mean I have seen a lot different actors playing dragon God dragon/King but he is the closet thing to a dragon King in my imagination..his expression ...his smile ...the calmness in his aura ... Gosh ! OUTSTANDING... He makes you wanna worship him like a dragon God ...iykyk ... This was my first thing me watching him and he left this everlasting impression that he is going to be my fav asian actor.
Zhou ye was as amazing as always ..she is the only actress who is so cute but doesn't rely on her cuteness but actually works hard on her acting ... Her energy and dialogue delivery is so spontaneous. I love her 💖
Other actors did equally brilliant ..I can't pick out any negative thing about this drama ...
(Shhh actually I can .... The only negative thing was ,it had only 40 episodes 😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨😮💨
Good things come to an end so quickly ...)
Title tracks and OST were so good ...infact The closing track was sung by NEO himself ...I put it as my ringtone ..hehe !!
Lastly ...
Am I going to watch it again ... ABSOLUTELY may be after 5-6 months ..I know I will never get bored of this one.
(Am I looking for season 2 .. Season 2 is not possible cause the original story in novel is completed in the show.)

This is also my second time watching Zhou Ye, and she continues to shine as an aspiring actress. I was particularly impressed with how she portrayed her character—a true warrior who managed to bring out the goodness in her demon side. It must have been a challenging role, but she executed it flawlessly.
The writers did an outstanding job crafting this fantasy world. The animation, makeup, martial arts, and set design were all top-notch and completely believable. Special thanks to the entire cast, especially one of my favorites, Riley Wang, for bringing this story to life.

A beautiful romance blossoms in the mist of devilry and obsession
The villains in this were the absolute worst. Infuriating, especially the self righteous and hypocritical female villain. Suying was obsessed with a man who DID.NOT.WANT.HER. She committed some pretty vicious acts to "keep" him, including torturing that poor soul who was the object of her obsession. Her behavior was selfish and reprehensible. It was extremely frustrating that her demise wasn't nearly as painful as it should've been.The romance in this was epic though. Tianyou and Yanhui encountered much adversity throughout their relationship but always had each other's backs. Even when they were just friends, they would move heaven and earth to protect each other. Not only that, they had a deep connection and an awesome working relationship, which made their love story one for the ages. The side romances were well done as well and added nice layers to the main plot.
I will say though, the SML, Bai Xiao, was not as endearing as I think the writers wanted him to be. He was helpful and fun to start, but after a while he got annoying and eventually became a straight up interloper to the OTP. At times, he almost ruined the progress of the main couple. He became so annoying that about halfway through the series I was ready for him to disappear and never return.
The acting in this was very good. Zhou Ye, the FL, was fantastic. Excellent acting on her part. The main plot was interesting. The leads had good chemistry as did the side characters. The romance was lovely. Though it could've used a LOT more PDA, but this is a C-drama so PDA will be scarce. Lol. The ending was satisfactory, but could've been given much more of the OTP. They were married twice and never got a moment of intimacy. Huge omission by the writers, which was so disappointing considering how much the leads loved each other. Overall this was a great series though. Definitely worth re-watching.

loved it!
positives:I enjoyed watching each and every scene, FLs dialogues are soo funny and entertaining. mainly main she slapped dark aura lord i laughed like hell...hahaha that was hilarious. and when ML stabbed her to save his clan i really liked how she took her time to forgive him, and didn't immediately jump into his arms i really liked that, otherwise mostly FLs forgive anything and everything that ML does on the name of love, lol. i know hez not at fault here, he didn't have a choice but just imagine if SML didn't save her on time she would have died, he just took heart protecting scale and left her to die there, not like he did anything to keep her alive till he comes back to save her, just left her on the floor to die.
i liked the way FL even says that 'what u did to me is exactly what suyian did to you' cuz she supported him in everything, tried to make him forget the past and move on, helped him to get his horns and everything, confessed her love, even when everyone in her sect thought she betrayed them cuz she was with him all that while and everyone in his sect/clan also hated her no one really trusted or respected her except her friends, anyways what am saying is i liked the way she took her time to forgive him and also when her master wronged her she stood her ground, was against him, its very rare where FL in dramas use their brain. lol.
negatives:
What i didnt like is the ending, ending could have been better, i mean There were 40 episodes all were bsed on FL and MLs relationship development and them facing challenges together, how can they just end it with him kissing FL as soon as he sees her after those many years, that was not a good close, it elt incomplete.
and also there were not much romantic scenes, FL and ML were a married couple in last 10-15 episodes, still there were only one or two light kissing scenes nothing much, which was disappointing for me.

Fantastic drama want to see Season 2!!!!!
I love a dragon drama!!! The actors/actresses and OST is simply amazing!!!! Neo Hou, Zhou Ye, and Riley Wang are my go to people. Soundtrack is amazing. You made me cry the way it ended. But I am simply hungry for more. Praying to see a Season 2.Writers you did a great job; totally different from all the other dragon dramas I seen. Costumes amazing and beautiful. Wedding dress/Groom suit beautiful. I thought I was watching Coming to America. If you have not seen the wedding scene you won't know what I mean. Keep up the great job and keep making us happy. Love you.

My introduction to actor Hou Minghao
I feel a little biased here for liking this drama so much. This drama was my first time seeing Hou Minghao and I fell for his visual the second I saw him and hence why I feel a little biased for liking this so much. I also watched this drama right after Beauty Resilience in which I dropped so I have low expectation from the get go (I don’t want to disappoint myself). However, the first episode got me hooked. The characters are loveable and it’s actually funny. The comedy works for me. The start of the drama was strong with a plot that was easy to grasp. I’ve watched tons of xianxia and the plot for this one was easy to grasp.Story wise- I’ve seen a lot of disappointment on the plot where Tianyao stabbed Yanhui witho it warning. And I have to say, I love that plot. it created a great build up for their romance and when it was finally resolved, their bond become stronger than ever. However, towards the end where they are working together to end the villain, it did feel a little anticlimactic for. The ending too is a little too short for my liking. However, looking back at the journey I had with this drama, I still consider this to be one of the best dramas I’ve ever watched.
Acting and casting wise- I only know Zhou Ye from Words of Honour and honestly, I didn’t like her character in there so I didn’t think I’d like her so much more in here. While for Hou Minghao, this is my first drama of him and since this, I’ve become a fan. I’ve watched five of Hao dramas until this point of time and I could see his growth as an actor. And I hope to see him more in costumed drama especially xianxia because he’s gorgeous.
Music wise- this drama has songs that fits the tone of the drama and match the era. I feel like xianxia needs ost that fits the theme of the drama and this drama delivers that. The opening song is strong willed while the ending ost is so sad. Not to mention Hou Minghao singing the ost and despite it being used in a more romantic scenes, the song still remains sad in my head.
Overall- This drama managed to combine great comedy with the cutest love story with tons of angst. I laughed a lot but I also cried with the characters. This drama is one of the best xianxia that came out this year.
