Definitely worth the watch! very wholesome
This drama is by far the best I've seen in 2024. it's a very engaging plot line , a very realistic take on love and feelings and very fun to watch.ling miaomiao is an avid reader and fan of fu Zhou's books. she reads the first book he ever written and ends up not really liking it. she leaves a comment on it and falls asleep. only to end up in said book as a minor evil third female lead Lin Yue or smth.
she's tasked with two main missions. one she has to be close to the male lead fuyi and basically get between the rs of him and mu yao. second she had to reach 100% favorability with antagonist character yandere mu sheng. he's the adopted sibling of mu yao and half demon.
She of course fears this bec in the original plot he only married her for evil reasons and revenge making her life absolutely miserable. However she has to try her best. so in the beginning he does not trust her at all and is very suspicious of her, he actually kills her a few times but because of the system she kindly gets respawned every single time.
her behaviour is a complete opposite of Lin Yue original behaviour and everyone notices this and does actually like the change only mu sheng is suspicious of her. however because of her effort they slowly but surely get along and start to develop feelings for each other.
she gets to call him ziqi and everyone calls her miaomiao now as she prefers that. Ziqi is a very jealous man and cares deeply for her and does his best to always protect her. they are very cute and very wholesome together.
the bubbly personality of Esther fits perfectly for the role of miaomiao. Yu xi also beautifully played the role of mu sheng. There were many times he had to portray his emotions and feelings through his eyes and he absolutely nailed it. Same with mu yao and fuyi, they absolutely succeeded into bringing their the characters to life and their chemistry and feelings as well. bec both those characters are rather proud and stubborn they don't want to lose so they don't want to admit they like each other. they do eventually get married and it was cute.
the four of them and then later only our little bamboo sprout cuicui a bamboo demon joins them on their journey to slaying evil demons and find the resentful woman who was the cause of the massacre of the entire mu clan.
I am a bit disappointed they did not share a kiss. Bec they did have a few moments where w kiss could've been just perfect. it didn't take anything away from the chemistry and romantic feelings between ziqi and miaomiao.
I have read the novel and I must say the shows stays pretty close to following the important plot lines. it does have a few differences but it made it all the more fun to watch. It you want kiss scenes go read the novel they share plenty of passionate kisses and even got married!!
the four bamboo masters are very wholesome and funny. it's very enjoying to watch them get along and fight together. even ziqi who didn't trust anyone but his sister got along eventually with fuyi and cuicui. he's got a bit of a temper but he just cares a lot.
they do eventually face off against the resentful woman who was in truth ziqi's mother! she had no heart left so she became evil and wanted to destroy the world. the backstory of ziqi is actually very sad and even sadder when it comes to his mother.
it ends with miaomiao returning back to her own world after ziqi revealed to her that he was in fact the author of this story and that she was the reason he wrote in the first place. sick kid meets bubbly girl in middle school and believes theres more to life and starts writing these amazing books?.
miaomiao thinks it was just a dream and didn't even remember who she fell in love with (???) she does however decide to go to the book signing because he promised the book got revised and is now better. she wanted to support him even though she didn't like the book all that much. it ends with him calling her name.
the ending didn't justify enough. it didn't satisfy us enough. we can deduct that they will meet and talk and that she will probably remember and have a good ending. but we wanted to see that because it would've done justice to us all and to the actors as well! worth watching it tho. it's a very comforting and enjoyable show

review wars
I often wondered why in one website’s ratings of a drama is high and another is low? The same show……………I think it’s related to the age groups of the audiences that is watching…….This drama, in my opinion is not very good……Esther Yu acting is ????????????? She think she is a barbie doll and portrayed as such….she tried acting cute but came out doltish. Ding Yu Xi became a better actor now, He have one of the most attractive and expressive lips in the show industry………..but he has the ugliest fingers…..stop bitting your nails Yu Xi, does not do anything for your image!!!!!!!!
The drama itself is also lacking….. too much graphics and not enough stories…..it is not one that you can’t wait to see the next episode……
If this kind of drama is your cup of tea, go for it....in the mean time, I rather watch something else but will come back if nothing else is attracting my attentions.

Fun and exciting drama! I am absolutely adoring it to bits!
I have been eagerly waiting for this drama for a long time. I have enjoyed every single episode.The acting of all the cast is impeccable and top tier. The story is so much fun, suspenseful and adventurous. The chemistry of all the cast members is excellent.
The male lead and the female lead is doing really good job portraying their character. Their love relationship is so beautiful and heart warming. I like the positive character development of the main characters. They have learnt to wholeheartedly trust and rely on each other and be truthful and open their hearts to each other. I have enjoyed how some characters' past stories have unfolded very cleverly. The whole plot is very intriguing.
The costumes, sound/visual effects, cenimatrography, environmental sets are very good.

"This book is for a girl. She saved my world twice."
I have never been a massive fan of Esther Yu's dramas because of her high-pitched voice, so after hearing about this drama's release, I was planning not to watch it at first but still decided to give it a chance as the plot looked promising. After watching the first ten-ish episodes, I was completely hooked on the storyline and acting, and cinematography. I also started to get used to Esther's voice which made me start to like her and lowkey kinda made me regret not giving her other dramas a chance. After watching the first few episodes I was completely convinced the entire drama would be amazing 10/10, but after 20 episodes the plot started to get kind of messy and I couldn't keep up, and the ending... well let's just say it was definitely an ending. Despite the flaws though, I still overall loved this drama, it's just the last few episodes that kinda fell off. Overall 9/10P.S. the ost in this drama makes me feel like i'm ascending

Good drama
The story is good, and the OST is great too.The only thing I hate is the ending. They didn't even hug each other, and Liu Fu Yi and Mu Yao didn't even come out at the end. I also wish Yu Shu Xin would try making more serious dramas. I know she's cute, but it's too much for her. I wish for Yu Shu Xin dramas more like thrillers, like "My Journey To You." That's all, and it's also highly recommendable to watch.
It's also recommendable to watch "Moonlight" after watching "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" because Ding Yu Xi is also an author there, and it's like a continuation of "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy."

Fabulous show all the way
Love game in eastern fantasy,is an entertaining, engaging,exciting drama from the beginning to the end.It strikes a right balance between love,hate,friendship and siblings bond.Firstly,Ling Miaomiao,the female lead,is taken to ancient times to play the role of Lin Yu,a character from the novel she is currently reading, written by her favourite author,Fu Zhou.There she meets,Mu Yao,Mu Sheng,Liu Fuyi and Cui Cui.The rest of the story deals with how these team of five eliminated evil and restored peace in the world.
The friendship between these five is remarkable and deserves to be the main asset of this drama.They stand by one another,do not give up in any circumstances and are willing to go to great lengths for the rest of the four.Thir bond stands out as the main highlight of this drama.
The plot is well written and executed with a load of twists and turns that unfold at right times and keep us glued to our seats from the start to the end.The plot is very good and strong too with an excellent pace and screenplay.
Esther Yu,is excellent in her role of Miaomiao,She is vibrant,lively,active,caring,loving, amiable,and responsible too.I really loved her character and also her portrayal.She is another main asset of this drama.Be it her cute or confused state,or romantic expressions,she nailed them with perfection.For me,she is the best character in this drama.
Ding Yuxi,Zhu Xudan,Yang Shize and all the other star cast were perfect in their roles and excelled in bringing life to the roles they played
A special mention of Lu Yu Hao,who played Cui Cui .He was cute,helpful and friendly.His affection towards his friends is remarkable.
The costumes were excellent.They matched each and every situation perfectly.
The settings were too good and were very bright.The visual effects were also perfect.
Finally,it is really one of the best dramas I have watched.It is a very very interesting and engaging drama with good comedy also to lift up your moods.A highly recommended drama with a different concept.
A MUST WATCH !!

A drama that leaves a lasting impression
I had so much fun in the beginning of Yong Ye Xing He, joining discussions on X (Twitter) here and there but as the show was about to end I couldn't even continue watching. One of the few times I felt so reluctant to part ways with a drama.Each character was written and portrayed very well especially our 4 main leads. Such chemistry between the 2 pairs and their team including CuiCui could melt any stone heart.
The premise itself is nothing new in cdramaland but for me what set it apart was the revelation in the end. How it was all tied up in the real world, how Ling MiaoMiao and Fu Zhuo are connected - their hardships and courage to keep moving forward...it was very touching.
Also very notable special element in the drama were their acting. This isn't the first drama I've watched from either YSX and DYX so it's very exciting to see so much growth in their acting. DYX especially never fails to make me fall in love with each of his characters. He's just wayyy ahead when it comes to acting. So much commitment, embodiment and respect he has to his roles. I'm sooo happy to witness him finally being seen by a bigger audience, being appreciated and lauded for such wonderful performance.
The OST are also perfect. Pleasing to the ears and can definitely bring so much memories from the drama whenever I listen to them on Spotify. The CGI and SFX are also perfect and definitely sticks to their concept of a game.
Overall, Yong Ye Xing He is one of 2024's best for me. Stood out among the rest due to their own brand of magic, pulling you into its own world and can make you understandably reluctant to leave.

Love yourself before loving someone else
Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is your typical isekaid drama where the Female Lead transmigrates into the world of a novel she left a bad review for . In that world, she inhabitants the body of the Second female lead who's supposed to be secretly evil. Her mission is to save the world and conquer the heart of Mu Sheng, who has a complex personality.The drama is very funny and the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I enjoyed it for the most part. It feels like I'm watching an anime but with Chinese mythology, the stories of the demons are also interesting in the beginning at least. I feel like the drama lost its momentum a bit in the 2nd half.
It started becoming more and more boring towards the end and many plot points didn't make sense, it felt like they were added just to increase the time span. Many arcs were utterly boring but the magic that Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi create by being together was interesting enough to continue. The supporting characters were not memorable except Cuicui and his grandpa.
It's essentially a drama about self love and how we should be kinder to ourselves and the people around us. How we shouldn't judge people by their status if they are demon or human. Both can be evil or kind. We shouldn't fixate too much towards endings, it's the journey that counts. Although these messages and theme are beautiful and made me cry a bit, especially how they portray the beautiful bond of friendship and romantic relationships. But i felt the execution of these themes could've been better.
Overall, it was trying to be something more but it kind of failed to be but the romance was incredible, I wish we had more moments of them and the comedy is also brilliant. Despite all the flaws, it's actually a pretty good drama to watch once.
8/10
