Love and Redemption (2020)

Sifeng Has Learnt Us How To Love

I think New Year's Eve is the best time to write the review about my favourite Cdrama in 2020)
That was really strange year for all, but looking back I can find a few good things happened this year and L&R is definitely one of them!

This story is truly special, male lead and female lead both are unique. They trust each other and protect each other from the very beginning till the end. As Xuan Ji said: "I won't marry anyone except Sifeng!". He definitely felt in love first, but she was the person who first proposed :)) and she reminded about the marriage during the whole story (typical girl :-D)

Sifeng's love is unconditionally and wholeheartedly. I won't say much about it, but just join to many many reviews saying "this character is the best man in the world". True.
Xuan Ji's love needed more time to grow and she perfectly said about it: " I loved you in every life. I'm not heartless, but I just understand it a bit slow. Can you wait for me? Be patient with me."
I would say the same for the future viewers - be patient with Xuan Ji and you will love her, I promise!)

Personally I like Xuan Ji character from the beginning, from the scenes when she ALWAYS been protective of Sifeng even before gaining 6 senses back. She is a brave girl!)

And personally I like the episodes from 40 to 47 - firstly, Sifeng has demonstrated his other side as a leader of the clan and strategy planner, and secondly, because his clothes and make up were awesome there!)))))

All other characters are also perfect and you will love them, most likely even antagonists, because they are so hot!!))

Love and Redemption is a drama with 10 of 10 rewatch value. Just as a warning))

Thank you, 2020, for Yu Sifeng and Xuan Ji love story! I will keep them in my memory!

The best c drama in 2020

For me , this is my one of my top favorite C drama. When I say it is the c drama in 2020 , it doesn't mean the others were bad. The drama consist a very interesting in plot. To all the people who is reading this , I am recommending this drama to you guys. The ending made me cry so much. For me , sad ending dramas are the best. At the ending when Sifeng died because he wants to protect the memories of him and Xuanji made me cry like crazy. They keep breaking up and getting back together. Every time they break up, I will get my tissues to wipe my tear but when they get back together , I will get mad at the script writer cuz they made me cry hahah. Overall beside the bad editing on the magic effects , the drama is awesome

Unconditional Love

I have finished watching this series 2 months ago and re-watched it 1 time. This is one of the Chinese drama that can make me engaged, addictive! Yes of course there's flaws, but not that significant to rate the drama low.
And after watching the series I also read the novel (haven't finished)

So so far this is the justification to give high ratings for Love and Redemption:
Story : Even though there's some difference between the novel and the drama, but the main take away message from both drama and novel is still there, which is unconditional love. Admire Si Feng's persistent love for 10 live times, and finally he can harvest his hard labor and got Xuan Ji love in return. This teaches us as human that to love is to give not expecting any return, today human society need to go back to this basic principle of love. (not self-centered, consider others). It just to me there's too many story about Ming Yan and Ling Long which is unnecessary and not really related to the whole story, maybe just wanted to give more screen time to the actor / actress? But this make me deduct the point from the story.

Acting : I love the acting of the casts (except for Ming Yan, I found his acting is terrible and annoying). But the excellent acting from the rest, especially the main female and male lead can cover that.
Female Lead : you can see clearly the character development of Xuan Ji and it's portrayed very well by Yuan Bing Yan. From the innocent Xuan Ji to the Killing God of War. Portraying so many characters in one series is not easy, but she did very well here, and the acting is not overacting it's natural.
Male Lead : actually there's not much challenge to portray Si Feng, honesty this character quite similar with the one Cheng Yi played on Noble Aspiration (aside to the love story). Thumbs up for all the spitting blood and crying scene, oh he did cried a lot and I believe it's not easy for a guy to cry. And the cry was not merely tears, but with red eyes (so for sure not using fake tears). And of course the holding hand scene with Luo Huo Ji Du, he act very well there.

Music : Nice music, and very well placed throughout the series.

The characters that I like from this series: Teng She

So overall I recommend to watch Love and Redemption and hope you also enjoy it like me

Falling in love with this drama. Can’t stop watch it.

I watch this drama because of Crystal Yuan from Listening snow tower. After watch it many actors do it well not only Crystal.

Story line of this drama is very interesting. They connect the story smoothly and many story show the angle of characters and reason why to make people feel emotional to them in the next ep.

The characters of Female lead is very interested who have a good improvement characters during the drama. Both male and female lead acting is the best. Cheng Yi and Crystal are best chemistry that I never touch this feel from other drama.

I like visual FX and music,

I minus .5 point because male lead is more crazy in love. In my opinion, if he want to protect someone they should let they can help yourself not only protect like this way. Also, they have a plan to protect and not explain. However, I still like this drama.

This drama is dismiss that is very perfect and Must watch !!,

10/10 watch value

This show is 10/10 worth watching. Obviously nothing is perfect and there will be parts everyone like or dislike or frustrated but it's 10/10 worth your time to give it a watch.

Female lead has the innocent, clumsy, weak characteristic but also very strong, powerful and assertive. You may ask how? That's what makes the show great because the character has it all. Male lead is also not written as indestructible type that lucks out in everything so it does keep you guessing what's going to happen to him.

The story of both male and female leads background and character is interesting. Most drama has male lead making the move on female lead but this show isn't just like that so it's a great change. Kiss scene are not stupid it's believable. I think we all know what I mean by that when I say stupid. So the acting is great.

Best Drama of 2020

This is my first review for C dramas
Loved the acting of both ML,FL
Cheng yi one of the best actors of C Drama

All in all, the journey undergone by the characters, from youth to adulthood. From innocence to responsibility. From a glass heart to an all encompassing love. Love and Redemption is a drama you do not want to miss. Especially for the beautiful tale of love and sacrifice between Xuan Ji and Si Feng. It makes you wonder how far a persons love can truely go.


Overall it was quite good, as long as you don't compare it with other Xianxia dramas, it is fairly good as a standalone piece and it's worth watching! Oh, especially if you enjoy watching good looking casts, this drama almost all of them (even the villains) are as good looking as the main leads which is quite eye-pleasing!

If you plan to watch this, hold on tight. You're in for a ride.

Wow.. Just wow.
OVERALL:
I was thinking how good of a drama must this be.. I didnt know much about this but it was trending all over the chinese internet.. Weibo and Douyin. Almost every week a few rankings of the hot search will be related to the show so i tried to watch and i gotta say i love this so so much. JUST WATCH IT. You literally will become part of the clique [SF,XJ, 6th Senior, Ling Long, Xiao ying hua, Liu Yi Huan, Ting Nu, Wu zhi qi and Zi Hu] This show is really really very torturing. With all the misunderstandings stacked on misunderstanding. Male lead tries his best to dissolve the dispute but he gets accused and accused all because of a jealous prick, i bet yall know who he is :P
The ending [by ending i mean the last battle in the heaven realm] was really unpredictable. I was thinking how they were gonna end it. Honestly, kinda sad that Luohou Jidu had to die because i could see him turning over a new leaf.
I have nothing else to say other than this show will become one of the legendary shows like Eternal Love, Ashes of Love etc. If i say any further ... i will spoil the whole show :<

Beautiful - In All Aspects

BEAUTIFUL & HEARTWARMING! The story, the acting, the production, and the visual effects- I find each of these categories as well thought of and done beautifully. The story isn't as burdensome and angst heavy as others, and that's the main reason I loved this show. Viewers will still be able to enjoy each episode even if there are some heavy scenes. Also, there's character growth, and both strong and equal male and female leads. The acting was also perfect as it was able to blend seamlessly into the story. The portrayal was done right and didn't seem too overboard or underwhelming. There are characters you'll root for until the end, characters you'll hate until the end, and characters you'll grow to either love or hate. Overall, I'm very pleased with this drama.

Best xianxia drama of 2020

Amazing drama! The best drama I've seen thus far in 2020 and also one of the best dramas I've seen in my entire life <3

I loved how the romance was delivered, it was very pure and innocent and it slowly became more serious throughout the series. IT ENDED V HAPPILY, I was so happy so for them :) I feel like the drama captured the feeling of first love and the purity of it in the beginning. In the middle, it got more serious and more drama, and in the end it went to being lively and happy again. I am not very good in my words but I just absolutely loved the way the romantic scenes were carried out.
The plot was amazing, I was hooked from the 1st episode. It was pretty fast-paced from the beginning THANK GOODNESS. (I really dislike slow-moving plots. ) This is the first xianxia that I never pressed the skip button, it was just every moment was interesting although there were quite a number of angsty parts. I would recommend not binge-watching the entire series but watching it slowly and taking everything in so you would enjoy it more and not be so worked up over the angsty portions and start skipping because when everything is settled and explained, you will feel so satisfied. Really in love with Chengyi and Yuan Bingyan's acting and their chemistry. Sifeng was just the best, after watching this show, my expectations just flew through the roof. I need someone who will not just love me in this one life but love me unconditionally for 10 lives. Jokes, but seriously you will fall in love with Sifeng.

The OST is also fantastic. I listen to them every single day without fail, so meaningful and beautiful. My favourite is 步崖, it is played when Sifeng 'falls in love' again with Xuanji and is damn cute.

HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO WATCH THIS DRAMA :) I would probably rewatch it next month again.
