Sometimes I really wonder why Xinxia drama have to be this painful to watch...? Hoho... After so long not watching pure Xinxia drama, I decided to choose Ancient Love Poetry as my next drama to watch. And I really happy I've watch this drama. Although quite painful to watch, but this is really good drama.

There is some lack in this drama that for me actually quite critical, that's why I don't give this drama full score, the timeline and narration. Sometime I really confuse about their timeline, 1 week 1 year 100 year all of it sometimes there is no clear differences. Like when Hou Chi go to mountain for 100 year & when Bai Jue wake up, that's no clear timeline how much time actually already pass, we just know when Qing Mu write at first is 2 years apart, then we go blind about the time. And about the narration, I really like the ten miles of peach blossom narration at the first episode where they explained to us about Ancient God, fox clan, dragon clan and phoenix clan, we know for sure how important that clan in that drama. But here no explanation about Ancient God, true God or just ordinary God. Yeah2 I know there are some explanation within the dialogue, but still no narration.

The most painful in here is Hou Chi (HC). Her story is just pitiful & I think the most Bai Jue (BJ) owe is to her, although BJ also pitiful but his pitiful comes because his own choice of action.

What i like:
+ I really like the relationship between HC & Qing Mu (QM) then Shang Gu (SG) & BJ. HC & QM relationship is more honest & cheerful. I really have to give applause to Xu Kai, he really done good job portraying Bai Jue / Qing Mu, we can see difference face expression that differentiate them. I also quite like Zhou Dong Yu, even though she is not too beautiful but her aura when she's as SG, especially after she wakes up, is really something we can sense as someone who has authority.
+ Really like Yuan Qi, he is one naughty but smart young boy. He gets what best from his parent, his look & brain from BJ & his behavior like SG. He make everyone overwhelmed with him, even Zhi Yang after he wakes up. ^_^
+ The CGI here also quite beautiful, although sometimes we still can see they are quite rough. But still beautiful
+ In here also we can see the bigger the power the bigger the responsibility. Like SG who has ultimate power, within her power comes the responsibility to bear the greatest trial in the universe.
+ love the relationship between Feng Ran (FR) & Jing Jian (JJ) . Their relationship is a though one. The choice between grudge that FR has toward JJ family, and her feeling toward JJ itself. Although we don't really get the struggle feeling in FR heart, but we know it's there. Really love that JJ is the most sane & kind one in his family even until the last time he really can differentiate the right & wrong by his heart.

With all the plus here comes the negative about this drama. except the one I already mention above:
Some action really plainly stupid or beyond explanation.
- Like we know Wu Huan don't want SG to wake up, but when Gu Jun transfer her power back, she did nothing to stop it just plainly watch it & after that she just want kill her.
- After HC gave birth & she return to her place & live peacefully as SG until she wakes up with Tian Qi (TQ), who at that time condemn by everyone as the greatest villain, logically everyone supposed to storm to their place to capture TQ. How can they live peacefully.... ? Is BJ protect them... Isn't at that time he try to separate himself from them...?! See... No explanation here too...

With all the (+) & (-) this drama have. I still think this drama really worth to watch. This is the first Xinxia drama that wanna make me scream for special episode... ^_^
