Le Démon ne pourra jamais rien contre l'Amour...
Il y a le royaume des Fées et la tribu de la Lune en guerre depuis des millénaires. le Seigneur de la Lune, le puissant démon Dong Fang Qing Cang a été scellé avec son armée depuis 30 000 ans. La fée Orchidée, tout à fait en bas de l’échelle sociale du royaume des Fées ne rêve que de gagner son immortalité, et sans trop le faire exprès elle brise le sceau qui retient Don Fang prisonnier, le liant à elle par le sceau du cœur. Et voilà notre magnifique démon obligé de suivre la petite fée insignifiante pour essayer de récupérer son armée…Bon, mon résumé est insuffisant et bancal, mais ça n’a pas grande importance, parce que, même si je n’ai pas tout suivi dans les histoires de guerres, morts, résurrections et récupération des l’âme primitive, ce qui m’a emballé c’est la superbe histoire d’amour entre les deux personnages principaux. Je craignais au début une héroïne cucu et bêtifiante mais pas du tout, Orchidée a la vraie intelligence du cœur et son influence sera déterminante dans l’évolution de Don Fang, à qui elle va réapprendre les sentiments, les émotions, qu’on lui avait arrachées pour en faire le futur maître sans pitié de sa tribu. Autour de l’amour lumineux de Dong Fang et Orchidée s’entremêlent de sombres passions d’ambition ou de haine, ou même d’un amour désespéré qui pousse Rong Hao (un autre personnage du royaume des Fées) aux extrémités de la trahison et de la mort. C’est une histoire à la fois « de bruit et de fureur » et aussi de rédemption par le don de soi, dont la morale ultime est que le destin existe peut-être mais que le cœur peut le vaincre s’il y met suffisamment d’amour et de ténacité !
la fin m’a satisfaite, évidemment, mais j’aurais quand même aimé un petit bout d’explication…
L’OST est très belle, les décors et costumes aussi, et les Chinois (ceux du drama tout au moins !) sont fichtrement beaux (hommes et femmes, si je peux me permettre une classification archaïque et démodée… )
J’ai vraiment aimé ce drama que je me prépare à revoir incessamment sur Netflix, en srt anglais, mais au moins sans les tartines des paroles des chansons de Viki !

Fantasy Romance with all the pretty and all the emotions but one big flaw
I was fully prepared to drop this after one episode, the overly literal title, the fact that it was Xianxia, which almost never clicks with me. I expected a messy storyline, cringey costumes and bad cgi. Well, there is some bad cgi and there are definitely cringey costumes, but a lot of the time this drama is really, really pretty to the point that you sometimes feel like you look at a painting. The costume and the scenery department went all in on this one and the results are very hit or miss and always over the top, but there is a real cohesive aesthetic, that I actually liked.The star of this show for me is the cast. I feel like they really found the perfect person or at least a very good choice for each and every main and supportive role. Both, Esther Yu and Dylan Wang handle the numerous personality shifts of their characters really well, especially Dylan Wang impressed me. See, I think male leads are often overrated, people see a pretty boy and are like “He is such a good actor! What? Hey, his character is meant to have no emotions!” Dylan Wang not only has emotions, the stuff he is able to say with a straight face is downright impressive, and he really carries a show that is so extra sometimes that it could have gone terribly wrong. And if you start this drama and you are annoyed by another squeaky, dumb female lead, stay strong. If a female lead ever had a right to be naïve and squeaky, it is that one, and she has a good amount of growth to a point, where she does some pretty badass things.
So how is the writing? This is maybe the most surprising part of this drama. The story actually had very good pacing until the last 6 or 7 episodes. There was always something relevant and engaging happening, there was character development, even the side characters where surprisingly fleshed out, and it is one of the rare dramas that actually succeeds in building up a relationship from “I want to kill you” to greatest love of all time, with all the various stages of companionship to a love that is hard to accept but too strong to ignore. When done right this is a beautiful process that a lot of dramas still mess up, but this one does it right and I think it is worth a watch for that alone.
So why only 8 points will you ask. So, while I just praised the writing I also have to say, that there definitely are messy parts, where things don’t add up, established rules are forgotten or not mentioned again, new rules are made up out of nowhere and just a lot of general “Oh, there is this person/artefact/exception that I just remembered that can help us” to the point of: “Stuff just happens! Tadaaaa!” And while I still would have given the drama a 9, it is that last part that made it into an 8.
I already mentioned the pacing problem towards the end (which might not be a writing but an editing problem), some scenes where drawn out to the point where I had to skip ahead a few minutes, other things that were worth exploring stayed underdeveloped. There was definitely one “I will sacrifice myself for you/the world”-loop too many and I wish the story would have ended a few episodes earlier. But the gravest sin of this drama is the fact that after putting us through an amazing emotional wringer for 36 episodes, it gives us the most half-assed, rushed and anticlimactic ending of all time (see: “Stuff happens! Tadaaa!”). I don’t know what happened. Was the editing team rushed? Did they have to stop filming early? Ran out of ideas? Was the drama supposed to have another ending and they just had to scramble something together? I don’t know. All I know is that it feels awful. You know that feeling when you ride out the last waves of a drama you really enjoyed? Yeah, not here. All the love and emotion I had for a flawed but still lovely drama just hung there, unresolved.
I still think it is worth watching, especially if you like the aesthetic of the promo pics, because at the very least your eyes will get a feast. It’s a fun and engaging Fantasy Romance. Just brace yourself a little for the end.

O Lord e a fada se entregavam de uma forma onde não se importam com o que iriam perder desde que conseguissem manter a relação deles.
Dylan está a coisa mais linda no papel de Dong Fang Qing Cang o lord maldoso 😍
A abertura é linda e a música é viciante.
Para os fãs de fantasia se joga porque é um prato cheio, eu particularmente não assistiria novamente pelo motivo citado no começo.

a Common Feiry Tile Become Most Complicated Story
for the First time i tried twice to finish a Drama. Normally i drop dramas for Being Boring but i Finished this only For Dylan Wang. without him all of the Character's was Boring. and first 10 episode was Super Cool. I've watched those episodes few times at once but from episode 11 most of the episodes ware boring. story telling is too slow. from episode 21 I watched 1.5x Speed! Story is like a Fiery Tile.a Devil fall for a Fiery and fiery Changed him. thay had a lot of Bumps. thay got over all of them together. and then thay lived happily ever after.
that's it. simple but there writing made it complicated. I was Impressed by Dylan Wang's Acting and that's why i tried twice to finish it. in other Words I've finished it only for him and his Performance.

Que há história foi maravilhosa mas faltou alguns desfechos
a história é muito interessante, e dá umas reviravoltas que deixa a gente muito curioso eu acho isso bom pq vc fica ansioso pra ver o oque acontece com cada personagem...,mais ficou faltando um desfecho para alguns personagens, o senhor chang deveria ter ficado com a fada que lutou tanto por ele,...o dragon deveria ter casado já que essa era sua vontade...e o final ficou faltando também, pela história tão empolgante acho que o final tinha que ter mais deles 2 juntos,um filho para complementar...para ele ser diferente do pai dele...são uns detalhes que seria bom ter colocado na históriaVond je deze recentie nuttig?
Cheerful fairy and heartless devil
This drama have a very beautiful and touching story. I like both female lead and male lead characters here. Love conquers everything. Xiao Lanhua a plain, cheerful and good girl must bound with the heartless Dongfang Qingcang. With her love for him, she succeed make the heartless devil became a forgiving and loving devil. There's many many people say that Esther voice it's annoying and childish but I mean it's the way she portrayed Xiao Lanhua as cute, plain and cheerful girl. All the costume and CGI are both beautiful. Esther Yu and Dylan Wang both have a very good acting and it's proof when they switching personality and also they have very good chemistry. The other characters it's very good too it's not just like they're in this drama just for the side characters like another drama does.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?

(suspiro largo)
Recordatorio: esta no es una review experta, solo soy yo una fangirl cualquiera que busca guardar sus opiniones personales para leerlas en un futuro y reirse o recordar cosas buenas tanto como malas <3
Entonces..mi primer comentario deberia ser: Que desenlase de historia tan catastrofico, de verdad que solo acepto todo porque la pareja principal se carga una quimica muy buena (a este punto la pareja principal se lleva tu corazon ;-;) y aunque la historia no llego a un buen climax, cuando esos dos se besan mira, yo ya ni digo nada. Es que son preciosos y uno es muy feliz si ellos estan juntos siendo felices, que mas, que maaas digo. No puedo con ellos.
Cada vez que sufrian, yo sufria y cuando eran felices yo era feliz.
Tengo que hacer un comentario especial para la mejor escena a mi parecer que fue aquella donde orquidea fingia no conocer a dong y el al saberlo, decidio expresar sin palabras lo que sentia: como aparecio de la nada, la beso y despues se marcho para hacer decididamente lo que tenia que hacer por ella ( cambiar su destino ) fue hermoso :c
Mi segunda escena favorita fue cuando orquidea decide ganar se el respeto del reino luna, sufriendo para poder ser la reyna y estar con dong, es que nah
(Ambos actores son demasiado buenos ;-; aunque ya le tenia afecto a dylan ahora quiero verlo mas)
Lamentablemente todo decayo despues de que orquidea murio, la historia dejo de contarse coherentemente (ami parecer) y el desenlase se sintio apresurado y poco explicado, era logico que el momento de cerrar a todos los personajes habia llegado...pero lo hicieron muy mal; a pesar de eso no se dejan cabos sueltos (creo) almenos eso esta bien.
El final donde dong despues de 500 años vuelve simplemente renaciendo de aquello, me supo algo incipido pero como dije antes; en cuanto sonrieron, reuniendose y dandose un beso yo ya me quede callada porque a la final, son bellos ;-; uno es feliz al verlos felices.
General: La historia es buena, se desarrolla bien aunque para mi gusto hubo momentos serios donde lo comico llego a interferir en mi "inmersion" en las cosas pero al final si es una historia que vale muchisimo la pena ver y disfrutar <3
Personajes destacables:
Orquidea: ;-; leia muchos comentarios de que su voz era horrenda y que era molesta, ami parecer se gana tu cariño muy facil, es una niña y madura muchisimo aun teniendo sus fallas como personaje no deja desepciones
Dong <3 : no voy a decir nada, lo amo; fin
Shang: (dragon tonto ;-; <3)
Xun Feng (hermano de dong) : Quiero hablar en especial de el porque su evolucion fue muy buena ;-; al final yo estaba apachurrandolo del cariño que le tenia, QUE PERSONAJE TAN BUENO.
Jie Li: Es un personaje algo complejo pero creo que todos pudimos simpatizar con ella al final :c <3 ami me encanto que tuviera un buen final
Luego solo me queda comentar que el OST es algo corto pero si me parecio hermoso, a exepcion de algunos momentos que bueno ahsdjkashd pero en general las canciones se van para mi playlist <3
Fin por ahora <3

"Você é a pessoa mais importante. A pessoa com quem mais me importo nos três reinos."
Cenografia de cair o queixo, enredo maravilhoso, elenco mais que perfeito, cenas de luta incríveis e figurino lindíssimo.Dongfang Qing Cang e Orquídea formam um casal perfeito! Amei como o relacionamento deles começou com apenas um "acidente", o Supremo da Lua se submetendo a tudo que a orquídea queria, matando e morrendo por ela, para sua própria sobrevivência, mas ele mal sabia que ia acabar se apaixonando. E que romance lindo! Orquídea mesmo depois do que ele fez pra se afastar dela, ela não desistiu pois conhecia o coração dele.
Eu amei o casal secundário, do Dragão e a Jieli, queria que tivesse mais cenas deles! O vilão achei bem fraco e alguns personagens um tanto irritantes.

Le Sigh Part 2 - The Power of Love
Rated= 4.5~ 21.5/50 ~ 4.3RPG Scene // Troll stalking me through the Mountain Pass. Not sure the short sword is enough.
My original review 27th April 24 -
Le Sigh
I really, really wanted to like this but I just couldn't get into it. I tried 3 times but my brain just won't let me accept a romantic relationship with a lead who basically acts like a child. If it was meant to be friendship I'd be fine but I'm expecting romance from a character who is basically a 5 year old in an adult body and I just can't move past that. Also, the harem of fairies. Oh please. My first, 2 months now as of writing this, adventure into chinese dramas, I'm starting to see a pattern of shows that just aren't for me.
Visually, this show is stunning. A lot of green screen LOL The sets are glorious. It even just looks like a chinese fantasy. Palaces floating in the sky. Ornate head pieces etc The opening credits were actually my favourite thing LOL the artwork had my mouth open and I think that's why I just really wanted to like this.
It's one of those shows, I think this is my 3rd one now, where everything looks so grand but I just don't like the characters. This time I at least liked the ML but that was it. You can't force yourself to watch a show that you're just bored to tears watching. It's like a christmas cookie. All visual, no flavour.
My updated review on 15th June 24
I wrote the above review after I had initially dropped the show but because I can't write two reviews, and people had like the previous review, I just had to delete and write this instead.
At the time, I was fairly new to c-dramas in general so I was just going on instinct at the time. I have now, thanks to Immortal Samsara, have learned that Xianxia's spend a lot of time laying out groundwork for the world building and characters before they give you the plot, which seems to be happening around episode 7 or 8. I dropped this show in the first minute or 2 of episode 8 and realised that I had probably dropped this minutes before the plot arrived. So out of curiosity, I went back to it, and if I had kept watching for another 5 or 10 minutes, I'd have seen the FL's bully get a glorious smackdown LOL
And I was right. The plot arrived with that event.
So I said, ok, I will give this one more chance. For the most part, my original review still stands. It was like Harry Potter all over again. The logical part of my brain can see why this is popular. It looks good, the characters, most of them redeem themselves, really love that Danyin's conclusion, that's awesome. It's a pretty cohesive plot through out, no major plot holes, all the characters had legit reasons, even if it was just obsession and had a really sweet message under it all.
But I just didn't like it. There was a cog in brain refusing to move and unfortunately, there's nothing I can do about that. I just didn't like. It was boring. I think it was around episode 20 when I really started to skipped scenes. I just wanted it to end.
Like I said in my first review, the ML made this show for me. He was the only one I was interested in. I love an anti-hero and to be honest, even as a villain, I loved him, he was hilarious. Everyone else who might have had a reason to stand out to me just faded into the background as the plot hooked them up in a side pairing I didn't care about.
That dragon. My man. How they wronged you by dampening down your potential.
And once again with Xianxia Immortals, the Emperor is the biggest A*hole and everyone is so self righteous without logic they make me support the villains.
My original rating was -
story -3 moved to a 7. I don't think the writing was too bad. It flowed well, it was understandable, the characters had their reasons and the narrative was very plain and simple - the power of love and obsession, and what it does to us.
Acting- went from 2- 6, this all because of Dylan Wang's portrayal of the ML. That's literally, he was the only reason I managed to finish the show. This was the Moon Supreme show for me. He gave good passionate kisses. I appreciate that for a chinese show that seemed to be scared of showing any lip movement whatsoever.
Music- 2-3 -Not much change to the music, I didn't really care for it and found it a little intrusive and loud over romantic scenes.
My rewatch remains the same though, at 1. I am unlikely to watch this again.
Overall, I can only give this one extra point simply because I loved the ML character. Everyone else, meh. I just didn't care.

Lovely story
Very first who is crazy about love stories ,as my concern it will be a choice . Except starting and ending story I loved the whole drama . In the starting their sole got exchanged and that part felt like boring .about ending I expect more with the ending story . All three couples need a perfect ending . One pairing from all of three had on sided love and it remain one sided till the end. So I think they all need a best ending. About acting Dylan Wang is the best .Other were also very good . Even the supporting characters the one who played Dylan Wang's brother role.
Nice drama.

The most amazing drama I’ve watched so far.
I LOVE this drama. I am a fan of Dylan and Esther, and when i saw the trailer for this drama, i freaaked out!! I got vip on IQIYI just to watch this drama. The plot is very good, its fast paced and oh my gosh, there are some sweet parts that my you smile all the way. The ML is powerful, and FL has hidden powers. There are also body swapping scenes, it was SO cool. This romance drama isn’t cringy at all, their acting is rrally good and when they cry, we also cry. Esther and Dylan really deserve the recognition for this drama, its just so amazing i dont know how to explain everything. The CGI, costume, OSTs, plot, cast, and everything is really good. Please don’t drop this drama after watching a few episodes, trust me, i was really hooked to this drama. I know people find Esther’s voice annoying because is babyish and girly, but her voice isn’t fake or forced, its her natural voice. In this drama, the character she portrays is supposed to be cute and sweet so she fits this character perfectly. Esther had to portray 3 different characters with 3 different personalities and she NAILED IT!! Please watch this drama, not only is it a sweet romance, it mas lots of action and angst too :)Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
