Very interesting plot and characters
The whole plot is very interesting, from funny and innocent to very exciting and somehow tragic and sad one. From not knowing too much to revealing in later episodes. One has to pay attention to catch all details, never boring.The characters are very real, not only good or bad, there is no real villain. Doing evel doesn’t mean being evel. Each one has his/her own reasons for what they are doing, you are often surprised at the end. You hate them until you find their motivation and you completely change your opinion about them. I love this, it is so more like in real life, makes you think before judging someone too quickly. I love these colourfull charactes.
The acting of all actors/actresses is great! They made me feel their emotions, believe they are real. I was so drawn into the story thanks to them, I smiled a lot at the beginning and cried a lot in later episodes. Loved every bit of the story, every minute, there were no boring moments for me.
The chemistry was excellent, XuKai and Esther lived their characters, they were so real! And the rest of the cast as well.
Although it might seem sometimes that someone’s role is not important, it shows later that everybody has his/her purpose and contributes significantly to the plot. Some may think the story is boring at the beginning (I never felt like that, but there are people who don’t like characters introduction and funny innocent moments and wish for fights and similar excitement), but wait for later episodes, there is a lot happening there.
I very recommend to watch this drama, I enjoyed everything in it a lot!
PS: Don’t be discouraged by haters, especially by the ones talking about FL’s voice. Yes, her voice is “child like”, but it is exactly how it is supposed to be (the same as in original game from which the drama is adapted), her character is a teenage girl with wiped out memories (as well as all behavioral patterns) 3 years ago - so at the beginning, she is like 3 years old kid. But she (and her voice) matures throughout the story as she gains life experiences - which is btw. also very interesting to watch - this journey to maturity.

Acknowledged by the Producer of the Game Series!
I'm writing this review as early because someone is flocking this review with unnecessary hate even they don't even watch it. The hater also called it a Historical drama when it is a costume drama. They want a character development over 1 episode. How absurd you can be.The Sword and Fairy have fully restored the Gameplay Plot and this is a good thing because the Game have a solid plot.
Even the smallest characters have life, interest ambition. The Group Chemistry is on point. The Main Leads Chemistry is overflowing.
The Narrative of the Story is clear and easy to understand as it unfolds. The drama is entertaining, you will have a lot of laughs and I'm sure a lot of the emotions to as the plot progress.
The Scene of the Main Leads are remarkable. How they intertwined with other characters is natural and not forced.
Wow even the Producer of the Game Series Have acknowledge the drama, the genuine portrayal of the main leads and the cast
The Fighting scene on Episode 8 is remarkable for me. It is very well choreographed.
The interwoven interest of all the characters that paints the story of the leads more colorful.
Wow! The Fighting scene on Episode 12 is epic too. Zhengwu Sect and Team JinZhao show an intense battle because the sect hate demons while the team protect Xian Qing. I'm amazed and with all the cast especially Esther Yu for giving an amazing Show as Yue Qi in the battle.

My first drama that based on games so I will review it purely based on the story only.
*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)Title : Sword and Fairy 6 – 2024 (Complete 36 Episodes)
Personal Rating : 8/10
Yue Jinzhao (Played By Xu Kai) is a clever guy with a mysterious origin. He is brave, caring and with a will to protect the mankind.
Yue Qi (Played by Esther Yu) is a mythical beast from Yu Clan but raised in Heng-Tao sect by Bian Luohuan. She has a childlike attitude and thoughts, but she is not foolish. She is strong, powerful who values friendship and relationship.
I think this is my first drama that based on games so I will review it purely based on the story only. Honestly, I am very reluctant to finish this drama. Maybe because it is not my kind of drama. I can honestly feel why some viewers dropped this drama because it was childish for them and sometimes, I also feel the same. I am a big fan of Esther that is why I tried to understand and finish this drama. Some of the viewers find Esther's voice and character to be irritating maybe because she is playing a 13 to 16 years old character. I am used to Esther’s baby voice so its fine for me.
The story line is okay. I can feel the undying love of Jinzhao for Qi and Qi’s love for Jinzhao. Love the friendship of the 6 of them. They are always supporting each other even its not related to them but because of their love for their friendship they are always willing to go anywhere together and fight. Luo Li Ming stands out for me because even he is bad, he did everything for Luo Zhao Yan – to keep her alive. His love and affection for her is not just because they are both from LUO clan. He really loves her and care for her because she is someone who is willing to die with him and protect him every time. I even like story of Bian Luo Huan and Qi. It is short and sweet but deep. I thinks I like the later episodes more because the storyline is becoming serious. One thing is I don’t understand the ending. I thought Qi is dead because she used her life bring back Jinzhao but why is she even there? How did it happen?
Overall, I will rate it as 8/10 because Xu Kai did a great job portraying both Jinzhao and Luohan who have opposite characters. Esther is always adorable. Great second leads too! Xu Kai and Esther Yu has great chemistry. I wish I can see them again both in different drama/story maybe a bit matured romantic comedy drama because the I just love the chemistry of Luohan and Qi!
FAVORITE OST – Resonance by Zhou Shen & Search by Yu Jiayun

Not gonna lie the ending made me cry. I really liked this and the way it ended wasn't sudden they didn't come back to life out of nowhere there was a genuine explanation for it. I was really sad tho everyone not remembering them omg, going through a journey with people and finding friendship just for it to be gone like that. I can't compare it to the novel so idk if it did it justice but I found this show to be amazing. Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
I loved it against all odds
Seriously, this is one of the most complex plots I've seen in cdramas, but surprisingly it didn't turn me off - the mystery was unraveling slowly but steadily, and while sometimes (most of the times) I had no idea what was happening and why most of the characters did what they did, it was still a captivating watch.I have to mention the stellar cast first - if not for the actors, the drama wouldn't have been so captivating. XuKai gave his very best performance playing not one, but two characters. He and Esther have a lovely chemistry that is sweet and innocent, like teenage love, which I found beyond cute and amazing to watch. Wan Peng was great playing Luo Zhaoyan, her brother was equally great, and deliciously evil and bad (although very caring, and yes, that's a thing). Luo Zhaoyan and Xian Qing (the demon-wolf) had amazing chemistry and a kind of more mature romance unfolding, which I'd love to see more of, but after all, the series is more about fighting and solving the mysteries than anything else. All the supporting characters and their stories were also great to watch.
Maybe the plot is more coherent for people who actually played the game, but for me, as a viewer, it was a bit too much of unfamiliar lore that was laid out in bits and pieces and we just had to roll with it, taking things as they were. In the end, everything kind of made sense (at least, all the mysteries were explained). Still, some characters had very questionable ethics, doing lesser evil for the sake of the greater good, which has never turned out good, like ever. I'm sure there could be less messy ways to do things and save all the realms. Still, it all made sense, I just wish there were fewer character deaths, they were really heartbreaking to watch.
But I do recommend this drama to everyone who is thinking about whether to watch it or not - there are too many good scenes and plotlines in it. If you don't mind being in the dark for most of the series, wondering what on earth is going on there and why the main lead has a twin, then you're all good. The OST is lovely, all the music is great, the acting is superb, and the couples are super cute. There are quite a lot of funny moments at the beginning of the drama, but then things get dramatic pretty fast. I cried a few times, so be prepared for that, too.

ACTION, COMEDY AND ROMANCE NYA DAPET BANGET ❤️
kemistrinya dapet banget Xukai sama xinxin ini, melebihi ekspektasi aku pas liat preview waktu masih syuting. ceritanya oke dimana Xukai meranin dua karakter aja udah bikin penasaran. Karakter bian sama Jinzhao tuh beda banget, mereka berdua nih yang bikin penasaran banget kelanjutannya.. begitu juga Yue Qi yang di episode 15-16 udh ketahuan asal usulnya tapi tetep aja blm kebuka banget.alurnya nggak ketebak di aku yang emang lebih fokus nonton Xukai sama xinxin 🤭 penasaran banget kelanjutannya gimana, kalian harus nonton bareng aku sih mumpung masih on going ❤️

I don't wanna watch Xu kai doing such horrible drama ever again
The story is crap ..not gonna lie this was one of the weakest plots that I have ever seen. Why I say so ?? Cause you will watch 3/4th of the drama still won't feel attached to the story ... The feeling of excitement to watch the next episode was totally missing ..just imagine the amount of disappointment.
Xu kai is a fantastic actor He delivered best on his part but in the end he can only play his own role .. I feel bad for him as don't know for what reason but his chemistry with his co-actors has been compromised in last couple of shows ...in best choice ever it was the same .. I hope he gets some beautiful and talented co-actress who will bring out his charisma again ...
Esther yu was terrible like she is in most of her dramas.she was the same in 'Love between devil and fairy' two years back .. her acting skills haven't improved at all,she is hopeless. In fact the rest of the cast performed way better than her. I don't know how chinese casting works but she has no chance to sign even a junior artist role for the third class acting skills she owns.she is the only grade less actress who gives kissing scenes in a child voice, making it even morally incorrect.
The plot was stuffed with a lot of details but somehow the mess created was so much that it lost its core ... The plot was bulky in itself plus There were a total of 4-5 couples having their own love story which were dragged to the last altogether.. an Absolute CHAOS .
a few more things 'louder than dialogue' background music ..basic and ugly costume .. multidirectional approach with no straight execution of parts were responsible for not delivering the drama in its whole potential
If i have to summarise, it was just the hard work of the entire cast ( minus Esther yu) that kept the drama breathing otherwise there was no hope whatsoever.

Not done watching, but a minor complaint
For the most part, I think this series is great. The main characters have great chemistry. The supporting characters also mesh well. The storyline is great. My one small complaint is actually pretty common in a lot of these dramas. I think it's gross when they make a female student fall in love with their master. For one, the student/teacher relationship is already questionable. However, it's worse when the teacher raised their student because they're much older and have assumed a parental role. In this case, Ming Xiu fell in love with Gu Han Jiang and even though he never outright reciprocated, you can clearly tell he feels the same. She was literally a child when they met and he was already a man. For me, it's just gross when an adoptive parent falls in love with their adoptive child and vice versa. Pedo, anyone? These dramas need to stop romanticizing these type of relationships. Just because they aren't blood related, doesn't mean it's not gross.Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
A very beautiful game adaptation drama ??
I would describe this drama in one word, perfect. From any aspect, I didn't find any flaws that could reduce my interest in watching. Lovers of this game definitely very happy. ❤️🔥❤️🔥❤️🔥The acting of the cast is extraordinary, especially the main actor Xu Kai who plays two characters and Esther Yu who with her intelligence makes Yue Qi very comfortable to look at to the point that I feel that she is my precious child and I would love to make her egg noodles all the time. The storyline is also very entertaining and to be honest, even though I already know what the storyline will be like because of the game adaptation, I am still tempted and looking forward to the next episode. This is one of the legendary dramas.

Rating makes me drop this show
It's going to be a rather short review since I've got nothing to say at all. I'm really, really sorry and have no intention to bash out at this show. But, the rating tempted me to drop this show. I've never stand low rating before - 7.8, that too outrageous for a high-budget drama.The story itself is pretty complex to me and people said that there was no single villain/antagonist, so don't expect one - as usual, everyone was driven by their own greed and dignity that they decided to do anything possible so as to achieve their selfish goals. I actually love the friendship of the 6 main characters - Yue Jinzhao, Yue Qi, Luo Zhaoyan, Xian Qing, Ming Xiu, and Ju Shifang. They have very contrast personality and yet they manage to deepen their bonds and becoming sworn friends through the lifetime.
I have no trouble with the acting. Surprisingly, Esther Yu's voice didn't bother me and I really adore her character. Xu Kai did excellent as usual - I'm impressed of how he managed to portray two characters at the same time. Kudos to the other actors/actresses as well.
OSTs are heartwarming and I begin to grow on the opening song - 奇迹 sung by JS.
Okay, it's time to end my review. I apologize if my review is offensive in some ways. Happy watching for those who haven't watched. Good luck.
