Clumsy Su Jiu Er and her wolf Han Zheng

This show was really enjoyable for me as I've never seen an historical drama this good with crime investigation. I liked the clumsy duo of Su Jiu Er and her always drunk Godfather Hu Ba Dao, they were so funny when they worked together.
As for the story with Han Zheng I loved how him and Su Jiu Er were total polar opposites! She was always cold and he was warm, the same with their personalities. Anyway I felt like Su Jiu Er is sometimes too clumsy if you consider what job she has, which is a detective. I can't count how many times she fell, said something inappropriate and many more but I loved the personality of her. All the cases were interesting but the one I enjoyed the most was about one opera singer dying mysteriously.
The romance was slow but I enjoyed it so far. They were a perfect match for crime solving but for love as well. Even though Han Zheng didn't show his feelings towards Jiu Er that often I loved the jealous and caring him, he was so focused on saving his face when someone saw them together. But after this all things turned out in different directions because Han Zheng was wrongfully accused of killing Jiu Er's Godfather, but this issue got resolved in some episodes and I was happy to see Jiu Er gaining the trust in Han Zheng once more. I also think their relationship got stronger when Han Zheng got captured by Marquis Xian who was hunting for Qi people. I cried a little seeing them reunite after a while. I also loved how Han Zheng confessed his feelings to Jiu Er, I felt butterflies in my stomach. The ending satisfied me in a way. I was happy the three-scar man (Wen Ying) was sent to justice and our leads could be happily together, because they got married at the end!
Overall it was a great and fun watch! I liked the OST, I think the storyline could've been better sometimes but I loved the characters. I will miss them all!

This is another drama with Yang Zi in main role I saw. First time in drama Battle of Chansha, the second time in my most favorite chinese drama Ashes of Love and the third time here - in drama The Destiny of White Snake. I love her character and chemistry with main actor in every drama where she always play the naive and innocent one, where she causes one trouble after another and her hero will always save her.

In this drama is also like in Ashes of Love beautiful costumes, amazing actors and storyline (even though it was a little dragging in the beginning, but i think it's normal standard for long chinese dramas).
Though from actors in this drama I know only Yang Zi I liked everyone and they acting skills.

I think The Destiny of White Snake is far away from title "masterpiece", but it's good one. The story tell us about Bai Yao Yao, about white snake who dreaming about becoming a human with two legs and hands, and about Xu Xuan who is a healer. The story started when Zi Xuan (Ren Jia Lun) and Ling Chu (Mao Zi Jun) who must be become immortal human being to compete in order to know who would gain the victory. Since then, Ling Chu would challenge Zi Xuan whenever he has opportunity.

Little white snake hasn’t gotten her human form she was discipline of Li Shan Sheng Mu. She is also a little bit lazy and love to eat. The two meet one day when Bai Yao Yao gets into battle between Xu Xuan and Ling Chu. She becomes Xu Xuans disciples, gotten the human form and Xu Xuan start teach her how to write, read, playing "chinese chees" and more.

As time passed, Xu Xuan and Little White Snake have fallen in love but the fate that made by heaven just too cruel for both. Xu Xuan was losing his core soul, Little White Snake gave up her chance to be immortal-being and stayed to be demon snake who traveled around to find the way to gather Xu Xuan soul so that he could live again.

When she finally find Xu Xuan, he hasn't memories about Bai Yao Yao. She is sad and lonely, but they meet each other again. It's on Peach Blossom Festival. They hit each other when Bai Yao Yao lost in the crowd looking for her friend with whom she came there. Xu Xuan attention catches salesman who shouted "fresh snake for sale!". He came to him and bought the snake which he then released to freedom. After that he disappeared again. (In this part of story is the peach blossom background - small pink petals falling down to the ground, crying Bai Yao Yao hidden behind the tree trunk and fascinated Xu Xuan).

Her curiosity led her to Apothecary House where she became a snake to hide from soldiers. With them enter in House Xu Xuan too and she finds out he is the lord of this place. But Xu Xuan take this little white snake with him just because he wants make cure. At least that was what it looked like at the beginning, but he actually wants to heal her. They meets again before this and Bai Yao Yao will offer to help him make cure for Leng Ning, but she disappear when Bai Yao Yao heal her in Apothecary House. After that relationship between Bai Yao Yao and Xu Xuan get worse but it doesn't take long because Bai Yao Yao save Leng Ning and after that she helps Xu Xuang (who is possesed with demon) to recover. She tell him he must live his own life, not a life like the lord of Apothecary House so he begins to doubt and ask her if they know each other from past, he ask if he lost his memory. But Bai Yao Yao denied it, she tell him she only want for him to be happy. Since then she try her best to heal Xu Xuang in all possible ways that proves to us not only how strong is her love for him but also how strong she is like a person.

I was really surprised when comes scenes where Leng Ning confessed to Xu Xuan. My heart stopped for a moment but I felt relieved when Xu Xuan tell her he hasn't feelings for her and he sees her as a sister. After another misunderstanding between Bai Yao Yao and Xu Xuan she decided to leave because of the wedding he decided to plan. He walk her to the bridge and say her "Today, I only want you to remenber the lights on this bridge. From now on, no matter happy or sad, you can come look for me here. If the weather is good I can hold an umbrella for you to block The sunshine. If you are sad, it's fine too. I can wipe your tears for you."

I really like the scene when Bai Yao Yao standing on the bridge after some time staring at the raging river and crying. In the moment on the bridge appears Xu Xuang and after a few words he kisses her forehead. It seemed like the two of them had a relationship they both wanted, but Yao Yao was started to have worries. Is she good enough for him? Will he love her despite being a demon?

I must say (even if i doesn't like it) the story became a bit boring towards the end, but i still love it. Just because of the amazing acting my most favorite Yang Zi. I gave this drama rating 8.5/10 because of the two endings. I'm still a bit uncertain and I don't know what to think about it.

So I would end my review like this:
There is most beautiful scenes in this drama, but my most favorite are those scenes with peach blossoms background. This scenes are so sweet and beautiful.
This dramas is a little bit worse then Ashes of Love but I enjoyed it and I think if someone like wuxia dramas like me this drama don't dissappoint.

This is my first review ever, so... Let's start!

I've completed this drama in less then three weeks which is quite short time (for me) on the drama with 63 episodes. I've planned watching this drama for so long and i find it really interesting. In this show wasn't the only episode that would bore me, the story went smoothly, actors were amazing in theirs roles, costumes were gorgerous... This drama has everything to have! And will awaken all your emotions inside you. While watching it I cry, laught, I felt uncertain, amazed and heartbroken. Sometimes dramas was boring after few episodes but Ashes of Love has plot which will keep you in tension and you want to see more and more.

The environment and backdrops give the show more of a beauty (backstage for a while reminds me a fairy tale Tinker Bell). Also costumes! Especially the Xu Feng's god of war costume. Really this one is my most favorite from this show. I read there is 3,000 pieces of clothing in total, so the male and female lead had around 30 costumes each. Music is too well done and I was surprised when I found out the ending was sung by Sa Dingding who plays Yuan Ji.

They are also two of my favorite actors! Deng Lun and Yang Zi.
First time I saw Deng Luns acting was in drama Because of You, he is my favorite actor and in Ashes of Love he didnt disappoint me. In his role as Xu Feng with his unyielding character catches my eyes again. In this drama he is the Fire Immortal/Phoenix, he is a bit arrogant but he can forgive mistakes. He have a "evil" mother and I think Deng Lun has destined to have this type of mothers in dramas (in Because of You he have also evildoing stepmother).
Yang Zi as Jin Mi is also beautiful character. She is the half elf who wants to see the world behind the barrier. Her character is little annoying, but her role only added to reality. She reminds me of Shan Shan (Boss & Me) with her appetite and love for food. She is the daughter of the Floral Fairy (the ruler of the Floral Realm), but this information about Jin Mi's birth had to be keep in secret. Before Floral Fairy died she created a magic barrier to protect her daughter from contact with the outside world.

The twoo main hero of this drama meet by chance, when the barrier is broken by mistake by the Xu Feng in his Phoenix form. Seriously injured he is saved by Jin Mi with her magic honey (but only after she wanted to make soup from him). He wanted to thank her for saving his life, so he did. As she had wished for many years, he free her from her prison behind barrier and Jin Mi becomes his reading asistant in Celestial realm.

Ours two main hero save life each other so many times and the relationship deepened between them. "I have really fallen for Fairy Jin Mi". These words say Xu Feng to Chief Zhang, after Jin Mi save his life.

There are also Run Yu/Night Immortal, the eldest son of the Celestial King. He is very close to Xu Feng/Phoenix. Despite their parents, the two half-brothers share a strong bond. Their relationship is so well done, they dont share the same mother, but they are very close. But relationship between Run Yu and Xu Feng will begin to sharpen when Jin Mi (like daughter of Watter Immortal and Leader of Flower Realm) becomes Run Yu's fiancee. Run Yu own the digital animal, white deer, which didnt eat grass or grain, he eats only dreams. First I saw this kind of stuff in drama Legend of Fu Yao and I found it so adorable.

I also like Moon Immortals character. He is so cute and childish! But I really dont like the Sui He/Peacock Immortal character right from the begginin. She is naughty and jealous of Jin Mi, also helps Xu Fengs mother with hers devil plans. I'm in love with all actors and characters in this drama, they acting skills were perfect!

So... I would end my rewiev like this:
"Phoenix flower only blooms in twoo seasons. One season for when destiny begins, the other for when destiny ends." I think this is the most memorable sentense in the whole story.

This drama is definitelly worth watching, i love the whole story. I think Ashes of Love is the best wuxia drama of year 2018 and I cant wait for season 2!

The cutest romance I saw so far aka Hajikoi

Hajikoi is a drama that got me interested right away. When I watched this it felt so fresh and nice, the plot was flowing nicely and I was just really enjoying the drama and all it's surprises.
Right away when I started the first episode and the character of Harumi Junko appeared I literaly fell in love because damn the girl is so pretty! But despite her pretty looks Harumi is unlucky in both life and love. She was sometimes so clumsy but also she wasn't scared to speak up for herself and others at times, but mostly she was the perfect teacher for Yuri-kun that was an terible student at first but he improved with time and the help of Harumi. With time not only the studying spirit got stronger. There was another feeling that Yuri-kun found in himself. Love for Harumi.
The process of it went slowly and I loved all the stages. The jealousy of Yuri-kun and another male protagonists Masashi and Kazuma, the process of finding out what's going on for Harumi and then long hesitations. I really enjoyed the love triangel here, it was sometimes very chaotic but it added the right spice in the drama.
I loved how Harumi saw herself in our hard-trying Yuri and how helpful she was to him. They were great pair as student and teacher. And I think it was beautiful how Harumi confessed her feelings to Yuri-kun at the end.
Hajikoi was surely a good drama to watch!
