Dropped, watched again but cringed throughout and so disappointed.

Way too much crying and immature acting of the fl.. What's with yz and crying? She's always just crying and shouting, behaving like a spoiled kid. It's so irritating how she's crying in like every ep. I get it, sick dying father is sad, a person cries when they're sad, angry, happy and all but it's not necessary to just ALWAYS cry! Whenever I saw her crying at the slightest and throwing a fit like children, I was like, dear god not again... Also her childish acting, exaggerated expressions made me cringe so bad.

LZX is an extremely irritating, immature and spoiled char or that's how yang zi potrayed her. Personally till the end, I saw no character development. A college student, whatever age she is above 20, isn't THAT much of an immature person. Not only she looked too old, she acted too childish for the character's age.
She claimed gu wei was a bad bf at one point when GW have been so nice to her. She was always inconsiderate and annoying. Irl no one would tolerate someone like lzx. I was so mad at the ep where she lashed at gu wei, when he was having a hard time mentally, bc of the medical case and cyber bullying, all he wanted was some space, some time to clear his mind but she was all shouting, kicking him, calling him bad bf not trying to understand anything. I hate this type of inconsiderate people even in drama.
Then she also kept ignoring him when he apologised like??? Bc he told her to go to Germany alone, she didn't even try to understand why he said that or let him tell her the reason. Just being impatient and crying, throwing tantrum.
Let's not start with her wanting to move her father on advice of someone she knows instead the doctor because she saw him drinking...and her wearing wrong size heels for god knows what reason, so many plot holes and cringy scenes.

Xiao zhans acting was fine, though not a fan of cold ml who are only warm to fl, and dumb fl storylines.
The little theatre idea was interesting and creative. I feel like it could be so much of a better drama.
Side characters are very nosy. lzx father was also annoying and so wrong many times.

I didn't watch with a bias towards it like the fans. Bc of the high praise I watched again after dropping. But I've noticed that, high rating, all 10 reviews doesn't mean it's always a good drama and acting. Some staunch fans who keeps attacking others here need to understand that people will have different opinion. There will be all sorts of reviews containing opinions of each which I think is needed, not just all biased comments in every drama.

A gem among thousands of fantasy cdramas

my favourite Chinese drama and the only long c-drama besides the untamed that I've finished watching.

plot 9 : I lost my interest after ling xi's death, I felt she was so wronged and hated jiu chen. the rebirth was weird to me. but the plot overall wasn't bad so I continued watching. plot has some lackings unfortunately but overall it's pretty solid compared to all other dramas I'll say.

acting : 10 Ni Ni and Chang Chen y'all. are you kidding me with less than 10? also the rest of the cast- li dong xue (jing xiu), zhang zhi xi (qing yao), leo li (yun feng), Hai ling (yuan tong), na guang zi (shi san), Patrick zhang(si ming), guan xin (bao qing) and everyone else acted well,everyone deserves praise. thanks to their good acting I didn't cringe (ok I did, a li'l bit very few times) which happens for me in most cdramas.

there are many parts I want to point out of the drama and the actors.

1.Ni ni's slow speech after gaining ability to speak and still being awkward with it ??? As after rebirth initially she was deaf and so she couldn't speak. brilliant acting as lin mo by Ni Ni. I was very very impressed,also because of Lingxi and lin mo's kindness, selflessness and good nature. it's not typical dumb girl bs. ling xi was playful yet kind but when she was reborn as ling xi, she became more calm and confident. I just loved how ni ni portrayed all these changes for her characters. you can just see how detailed her acting is! Can't fall for her more.

2. Chang Chen's acting is good. I gotta check out more of his works.
Jiu chen loved Ling xi and showed it through his actions rather than vocalising it but mf never says anything important to ling xi when he SHOULD.
he blossoms peach flower, peaches in the tree he planted/created in the house ling xi is staying at knowing that she loves it. he keeps remembering his days with ling xi... I get that he cares about ling xi, he loves her BUT how do you explain constant lying to her and leaving right before wedding while ling xi knows nothing? she'll move on?really? every freaking single time he makes decisions by himself that includes ling xi. always lying to her, hiding everything from her, playing with her feelings, forcefully kissing her and all the empty words, I just can't like this ML... even if he does lingxi favors he ends up upsetting her as well.
0/10 for ml for me no matter how much he did for her,for a god that old he should have had more decisive and strong personality. also jiu chen makes her feel betrayed during her last breath every freaking time, just explain it to her or leave her alone!!! the forceful kissing need to be gone from dramas. it's really really not cute, I hated every fckn kiss from jiu chen to ling xi and lin mo.

3. Jing xiu... I actually quite liked him. sad that he turned out to be evil by the end of the drama. but it's true that he was always a shrewd person even with his occassional nice personality. his and ling xi's friendship was cute though... hated when he killed ling xi's mother and bao qing...also his underling killed hua yan. I was on his side till then but after that, he was officially evil beside yuan tong,for me.

4.I hated when the two men kept pushing themselves on ling mo in the name of proving themselves to her and how uncomfortable they made her feel with their constant tricks and manipulations. not cool. don't like it. LET HER DECIDE whom she wants, don't pressurise her!!!

5. Yuan tong character was quite impressive, till the end she was vicious. I thought probably she'll stop scheming but no, she didn't. even after losing her immortal bones. her acting, expressions were good. feel bad for her brother though who wanted good for her, she actually got many chances to redeem but she kept on being how she is. kinda feel bad how she turned out in the end..

6. qin yuan and bao qing's moments were cute but short lived. sadly. all these unfortunate pairs were the essence of this drama. Coke Lee (sang nan) was good as well. like ling xi and her mothers reunion was also very sad as how short it was.

7. Qing yao was a solid female character in the drama,loved her. zhang zhi xi acted very well. her and yun feng's chemistry was good. their brother, cheng yan was good too!

the ost's are so so beautiful especially the one's by zhang bichen and Jane zhang!!! the bgm timings was perfect. I loved it.

This drama, the actors were robbed!! can't believe the drama and Ni Ni didn't get any award!!! also the supporting characters deresved awards as well.

A good watch

Both Go hyun jung and park jin hee were amazing, so the change wasn't felt much although I'd prefer it if GHJ kept playing the role but still, stuff happened.
The details played by park jin hee as why she does certain stuffs, why she eats and sleep like that played so well by her.
The actress who played young jung in ae. Lee mi so. her acting,gosh!she deserved an award for this. I cried so much at the end,I don't remember crying so bad because of any drama. Her acting as the mother who lost her daughter was so heart wrenching. the poor daughter... It hurt so much. Jung in ae in front of that judge house.. It was... Too much to bear. That girls acting is so freaking good, I think I cried a river???
Also tae min young's mother, The abused girls brother...these pitiful characters... played well by the actors.
It's a sad, frustrating, heartbreaking drama... All these cases, All those bast***s, Till the end they didn't receive proper punishment. very very fcked up characters that'll keep you on edge. oh, Lee jin wook was good as a detective in it.
but rewatch value is 7/10 because it is very interesting and good drama but full of dark scenes I really don't wanna see again (like I said, morally fcked up characters that made me feel disgusted)

Another underrated drama. I loved this one. My first time watching Kim seo hyung and falling for her.
A slice of life,mystery, investigation genre including some cult stuff. Story is about friendship between cha young jin and a kid eun ho. Later when he was found badly injured she gets to investigate and finds out many shocking facts.
I really liked the bond, the friendship between cha young jin and eunho,also the relation between her and the senior detective, how thankful she is towards him and when she cried for him. also how the senior detective acts with the kids showed how genuine he is. The teacher Lee sun woo is also an important character in the drama. It's a mystery drama with painful scenes in it but there's feel good moments too. The osts are so good too.
Will I rewatch? definitely.
