Chong Zi (2023)

I am trying to do my best

I really try to keep up with The Journey of Chongzi, but gosh, I just EFFIN hate the pouting, imbecile, annoying sweetie-cutie FL trope. I AM SO FED UP WITH HER. I really would like to watch it because of the other actors and the beautiful costumes, but gosh. Also, the most disgusting and lazy CGI ever. I am sorry, but not even Wang Zhuocheng is going to save the day. What is with all these stupid, ignorant and childish female leads recently? Who in their right mind would think that grown ass men would fall for young girls who behave as mentally challenged, LITERALLY ALL THE TIME.

Worst ever drama in my life

First of all story, i think I should kill the director ? in the first half many characters are infatuated with fl, in the second they want to kill her .fl has the worst impression ??of all roles in this drama. Ml is not good either he killed her, forced her into the marriage. Fl is dumb, blindly believes in ml, they say she is smart, but i think she is dumber than a pig. It's released with the starry love, the comparison is like a dragon ? and a worm ?. Waste of time. At many points i really wanted to kill the fl. I watched this because of its popularity, but not worth it. Animation is quite good but not equal to the starry love. Dressings are not quite good either. Music is fine story has many loopholes when combined it becomes a black hole that devours your mentality. You may become mentally ill ? really frustrating. I wanted to smash my phone into smitherns many times.

Forbidden romance between Master & student

Never really understand why sometimes love between master & student is like forbidden things in the heaven realm. Is it to avoid everyone want to master because of want to fall in love or having relationship with their master...? Or just obstruct the cultivation....? Maybe we must learn Buddhism to understand this...

This drama OK for all the wrong thing I think. Haha... The good thing are the scenery or background & the music, this maybe one of the most pretty Xian Xia I've watch. For the story itself, hmmm... Enough to make me hang till the end, but not so good either. I stop caring for the story from the middle, but still curious enough to watch how everything revealed in the end.

Really like how FallingSlowly88 wrote: "Lets make 15+ episodes of misunderstandings. Lets also make every man obsessed with the main character. Lets also WITHHOLD moments of confession and understandings for the sake of derailing / padding out the story because 'it's not the time'. Lets also not have a single good female for the main character to look up to, or a male who isn't in love with her. The list goes on..."

Haha... Yeah.... This drama have everything messed up. The whole world put the blame on a little girl that have evil aura, all the man that close to her fall in love with her or at least want to protect her, all the female get jealous because of it & want to kill her & to make things more messed up.... The only friend she has & trust, in the end also using her for her own reason.... Sigh.... What a lonely world for this little girl... Haha...

Overall if you want to check this drama I'm not gonna say you can't, but in my opinion kinda such waste of time. Better check other drama that have better story to tell....

Alur yang terlalu serius dan datar.

Pada awalnya, drama ini cukup bagus. Sebelum drama ini rilis aku menaruh ekspektasi besar berkat para pemain drama dan poster drama ini. Melihat Xu Zhengxi, Yang Chaoyue dan Wang Zhuocheng membuatku merasa drama ini akan menjadi salah satu drama xianxia terbaik yang pernah ku tonton seperti Immortal samsara, Ten miles of peach blossom dll. Namun sepertinya aku menaruh harapan yang berlebihan..

Kepribadian karakter dan alur cerita di drama ini hampir dapat di katakan 'sangat buruk' Luo Yinfan yang terkesan keras dengan Chongzi membuat Chongzi salah paham dan mengira Luo Yinfan hanya memanfaatkan nya. Chongzi yang selalu saja keras kepala dari awal sampai akhir episode namun tetap saja memiliki hati yang lembek dan mudah berempati (kepada yang tidak seharusnya) sepanjang episode aku merasa alur nya tidak bergerak maju. Chemistry di antara Luo Yinfan dan Chong Zi selalu saja semakin memburuk dan tak kunjung membaik.

Selain itu, Karakter lain juga semakin memperburuk alur. Seperti Sima Miaoyuan & Ting Xue. Sungguh aneh melihat Sima Miaoyuan yang tak kunjung berhenti menyulitkan Chong Zi, apakah wanita itu tidak lelah dan hanya hidup untuk menganggu Chongzi bahkan setelah ia terlahir kembali!?

Berbicara soal ini, Ting Xue jauh lebih buruk. Jika alasan bagi Sima Miaoyuan menganggu Chongzi adalah karena ia menyukai Qin ke.. maka apa alasan Ting Xue yang membuatnya berusaha begitu keras? Hanya sekedar iri hati? Menurutku hal itu tidak cukup untuk membuatmu berusaha begitu keras untuk menjatuhkan seseorang. Terlebih, Chongzi merupakan orang yang telah membantunya melewati masa sulitnya.

Dalam drama, baru saja Ting Xue di bawa ke puncak Zizhu ia sudah mulai membenci Chongzi tanpa alasan yang jelas dan begitu cepat. Sungguh tidak masuk akal! Pada intinya, alurnya sungguh membosankan dan terkesan tidak masuk akal.

Tetapi, aku ingin menambahkan beberapa poin plus drama ini;

1) OST yang luar biasa, aku bahkan pernah menangis hanya karena mendengar lagu nya ??

2) Tata rias yang baik, Hanfu yang di kenakan benar benar bagus!!! Aku bahkan sampai mengulang ngulang adegan hanya untuk melihat baju yang di kenakan di drama tersebut??

3) Aktor dan Aktris yang tampan & cantik, sulit bagiku untuk mengakui bahwa karakter yang ku benci (Ting Xue) di perankan oleh aktris yang benar benar cantik (Hanna yang). Tentunya paras Xu Zhengxi, Yang Chaoyue tidak dapat di ragukan lagi. Penampilan Chu bufu dan Yin Shuixian juga membuatku hampir lupa berkedip..

Wow I am actually doing another review just because I am surprised with all the bad reviews for this. I admit when I started watching this I wasn't expecting to like it at all just because I am very bad for sticking to dramas where I have seen most of the actors in a few things before and this one barely seen any of them, but I thought they all did very good with the drama they were in. I get that not everyone likes the cry baby clingy female lead that is in a lot of dramas but that is not the actors fault that her character is portrayed that way, and I thought Yang Chao Yue did very well in this drama. I will say that I did like a lot of the other male characters then the male lead in this but not because of the actor but because of how his character was portrayed he made you literally want to yell at him through the screen in the whole thing. My favorite characters in this was really Mu Yu/Tian Zhixie yes even though you find out that he basically used and lied to her and Qin Ke he just showed that even though he was in love with her that he didn't expect anything in return just that she was safe and happy. There was times I so wished that she would forget about the male lead and just look at these two guys. My one other nit pick is that for these dramas if you are going to do a sad ending commit to it I'm sorry but I really don't think that makes a show bad is it sad yes but its not bad. Doing a nine minute episode just to try to show that yes they are living happily is just pointless to me. So even though I didn't think this drama was perfect but it wasn't awful either I also had things I liked and didn't like in it.

If you don't like to see FL being blamed for everything that goes wrong, skip this one.

First things first, the description of the show on MDL is not entirely accurate.

Since going in I already knew that this was going to be at least 3 different lifetimes for the lead couple to finally get together, i was waiting with abated breath for Chong Zi to die. I did read some reviews but majority were moaning about the actress's skills. Honestly, she isn't bad. I have seen other actresses do worse. So, to me, she wasn't that annoying, just a minor tolerable nuisance int he back of my mind.

1st Lifetime: Episode 1 to Episode 14/15
The one thing I was curious about the most was how did she die in the 1st lifetime, lo and behold, the ML killed her himself. The FL was too devoted to him, while he was devoted to her, his major concern was controlling her evil miasma. And even though he had feelings for her, they were not enough to find a way to save her in that lifetime. It was especially saddening to watch because Chong Zi though the world of him and he did seem like a intelligent and powerful sage, maybe it was his plan to kill her and allow her be reborn and he did go out of his way to ensure she was reborn again. But pretty coldhearted no.

2nd lifetime: Starts episode 15 & doesn't really end at least not until ep 39/40.
The leads are super messed up, in the second life they continue the same cycle. Chong Zi was such a goner over Luo Yin Fan that she was quick to forgive him no matter how many times he let her down. She just went right back to him. In Chong Zi's second lifetime, Luo Yin Fan decided that he would protect her at all costs but he was the most unsuitable person to protect her. He actually put her in more harm and no matter how many things his sect did wrong, they all just blindly decided to overlook those things, but Chong Zi took one misstep and it was a crime. They all, including Luo Yin Fan treated her abominably. Although he claimed to love her, he never really accepted all of her. It wasn't a love story that I rooted for.

Instead I was hoping that Qin Ke would win her over. Even though he didn't much help Chong Zi in the beginning, in her second lifetime, he always helped her, protected her and stood up for her against the sect, even when Luo Yin Fan tried to kill her on numerous occasions.

The immortal sect, all high and mighty was so corrupt. None of the people in the sect were logical at all. Its all black and white to them, immortals= good and demons= evil. All they see is evil miasma/breath, and they get murder in their eyes. Anything anytime goes wrong, kill Chong Zi! They really had so much hatred for someone who had done nothing to them. It was just plain awful to see.

And how does it all end, Luo Yin Fan sacrifices himself, but even with a powerful actor the scene was so underwhelming for me.

3rd lifetime: 3rd for Chong Zi & 2nd for Luo Yin Fan. (Episode 41 *Special mini episode*)
It was too short and not really interesting to my liking. The first 2 lifetime while not really romantic were at least interesting to watch. At times, they were intense. But its fine for people who hoped they ended up together.

The fantasy in this drama, the martial arts, the visuals, and the music, had my emotions running all over the place. This fantasy drama is high up there. The butterflies are so beautiful even if they are animations. The chemistry between Yang Chao Yue who played Chong Zi and Jeremy Tsui who played Luo Yin Fan was very believable. I cried and cried; it was so beautiful. And another somewhat confusing ending. It didn’t end in death just more spiritual which is different. Asher Ma (Zhuo Hao) and one of my favorite actors Deng Wei who played Qin Ke were excellent. It was still a great story. Thanking the crew of The Journey of Chong Zi. Thanking the support of actors and actresses, the directors, the writers, and the costume makers. wow.

First of all, I must say that I was surprised to see those who did not like the series and gave very low grades. However, I found it strange that I was angry at some things in the series and that it was given such low grades. Because this type of wrong, mistake or conscious and unconscious scenario movements exist in all series. Sometimes the main actor does not love anyone, does not kiss, does not pick a hair from his nose. It could be. In some TV series, female actors shoot themselves. You watch a love drama, but it's like a war drama. Jealousy, trips, fights, not even holding hands, not hugging, what do you think is romantic about that? Our drama reminded me of Song Of The Moon I watched in 2022. They have very similar aspects like almost the same. Again, the battle of the demon and the undead, the love of the mortal and the immortal, there is no union. Again, the unjust attacks of an immortal elder on the woman's side. Those who were involved in the incident from right to left, undermining, what are they saying, heartache, for example, it was here and there, it was there. Immortal is supposed to be the lord of immortals, but he is no good to himself. There is so much to criticize. But overall I liked the series. I watched hard. Love, the feeling passed to me. I've had tears in my eyes at some dramatic events. There were moments when I felt that emotion. I really liked the actors. I really liked their acting. I watched a group of valuable players. There were young and handsome male actors. They performed above expectations. However, I didn't like the ending of the series. It didn't end as I expected. Don't be a demon for two and then become a student again. Dying and resurrection or something like this really sounded wrong to me. It's like a toy. But especially the female performance was top notch Yang Chao Yue stood out. Well done. He never tensed himself in kissing scenes. She played it properly, she. He had too many roles. He played several roles at once as disciple, warrior, demon, mortal strange man and noble man. It was very successful. Jeremy Tsui gave lots of PICTURES. They say your presence is enough. That's how he played. Congratulations. Asher Me, Deng Kei, Wang Zho Cheng I liked them all. We had several other couples in love. It was all beautifully crafted. Congratulations to our screenwriter and director. Errors happen. Mistakes happen. There may be simplifications in the script. But on the whole I found it GOOD. I recommend everyone to watch it.

not worth your time

I've tried my best for 12 episodes. I'm really sorry for the actors in this series, they tried their best. How is this level if writing even got the passed to be made into a series, total waste of money. Was the writers drunk? or was it written by a 6 yo? The story was so consistently bad from the beginning. Main Characters were shallow, unlikable, undeveloped. Not even a single character was properly written. The storyline is crap. Watch this drama, if your purpose is only to see the actor's pretty faces, there're plenty of beautiful people in it. I'm dropping it, and really regret wasting my time on the 12 episodes I've watched.
