Enjoyable watch, but not lifechanging
If you're looking for a sweet heart tugging drama with a medium level of angst, then this one might be the one for you. Ding Yuxi is one of my favourite actors after watching several of his dramas and he def lives up to his acting skills in Love You Seven Times (LYST).
STORY:
I feel like the story was relatively well written, good pacing and each tribulation had its own story that added to the overall Heaven Realm plot which I liked. I grew to love the characters more with each tribulation they went through and enjoyed the angst as it was a small amount and didn't drag on like 10 episodes like other dramas do. A good story can balance the happy and the pain, and I feel like LYST did the job. The only downfall I feel in the story was that the pacing of how they took down the bad guy wasn't spaced out correctly, and could have been way more satisfying but the other aspects of the story did great.
ACTING:
Ding Yuxi is phenomenal in this series, every time he cries I feel a gut retching pain inside my chest and I feel all his emotions. In their second tribulation when he cries over Xiangyun his eyes are so bloodshot and it really moved me. As for the female lead, Yang Chaoyue, I feel like she definitely still gives off rookie vibes. especially in the first half of the drama. I agree her acting needs some work but I feel like Ding Yuxi carried a lot of scenes so it balanced it out. However I feel like she played Cang Hai way better than Xiangyun, and her chemistry with Ding Yuxi during the 30,000 past arc was ON FIRE and I really enjoyed her character there. Maybe because I feel like Cang Hai's personality fits her real personality more so it looked very genuine. Shout out to the guy who played Zihui because my drama tingling bones are telling me his gonna be really popular soon.
MUSIC:
A few of the soundtrack songs were amazing and gave me chills, but the OST they played during the scenes where Chu Kong summons the (bull?) I feel like didnt fit and sometimes when he uses his power I feel like the song is too modern. Otherwise it was still good!
OVERALL:
I enjoy a well written drama with decent chemistry so I feel like this one I thoroughly enjoyed. Overall I would give it a 8.5/10, which is pretty good considering I'm pretty picky with my dramas. Can't wait to see more of Ding Yuxi's work in the future!
