SO GOOD! I am so emotionally attached to this drama
Omggg I cried! But it felt good. The characters had so much dimension! Tian Yao was definitely written by a woman. A lot of the things he said just felt so heart wrenching. Examples: "I would wish the couple happiness" or "You want too much. All I want is her". And he didn't just say it, his actions showed it too! I really understood his past and how it affected his future. It all gets connected in the end. IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE once you make it to the end. It all stemmed from one person and everything is connected. The plot was well written. I thoroughly enjoyed it. I havented watch a well balanced drama in a long time. The plot was intriguing, the characters felt real, I cried. THE OST MAKES ME CRY! BFTB had its happy moments but also a few PAINFUL moments. A perfect medley of love, pain, and mystery. Tbh, the ending felt rushed and I still have no idea whether it's a happy ending or he's dreaming... WHICH I STRONGLY DISLIKE. If it's a happy ending, I need confirmation; I need to see the characters living their happily ever after and explaining to me how she's still alive etc.Also, Hou MingHao is an amazing actor! His eyes speak so much! I definitely need to see him in more xianxia/wuxia dramas

His beloved dismembers him, strips him of his dragon scales, and seals his body parts in five different places. Only through a stroke of luck does his soul manage to escape this dire fate.Reborn into a new life, Tian Yao's path intersects with that of Yan Hui, a young woman who makes a solemn vow to protect him as he embarks on a quest to retrieve his scattered bones and regain his full form. As the story unfolds, Tian Yao discovers a crucial seal within a lake, and he realizes that Yan Hui possesses his heart protection scale, the key to breaking this seal.
What initially appears as a reluctant partnership takes unexpected turns.

Obsession
This story was really slow at the beginning. I literally stopped watching several times and kept going because of all the good reviews. But it really picked up around episode 15 and I just kept watching.The only part I didn't understand was Suying's obsessions and her refusal to see that she is unhinged. Because of her obsession with a man who didn't want her, she was used to attack the dragon who was ready to marry her. She then justified her actions by calling him and all demons evil when they were just existing. And everyone was like, yup let's agree with her. No other human was like, wait didn't you attack him, how is he evil? Because of her obsession with the man, she killed his wife in front of him and was mad that he still didn't want to be with her. Everything she did was supposedly for the man but she just couldn't get over the fact that he didn't want her or that the dragon ultimately got away.
These people ignored the fact that the whole family was crazy and just let her do whatever.
And the Phantom Lord, what was wrong with him? Why was he giving off hunchback drag queen?

Funny, fun, romantic, and beautiful
This is on my rewatch list. Just finished the series for a 2x time. Found it funnier than the 1st time thru. Literally lol numerous times. Quirky bits and piece that purposely makes fun of itself and ensures no one gets too serious. Don't look for historical accuracy or realism here. Just go along for the ride and you'll have a blast.Some annoying side stories and not much screen time of them being an actual couple but the build up is beautiful. Significant growth and development for the ML.
The last few eps were confusing and had too much unnecessary stuff going in then the last ep seemed rushed. Other than that, it's a happy ending story with minimal annoying side people.
Exceptionally good visual production. Beautiful people, backgrounds, sets and costumes.
Acting is excellent with the exception of the 2nd ML. Riley is cute and fun but seems overly dramatic with some of his facial expressions. Loved the child actors interacting with Neo.
Lastly, no real kisses just a couple scenes with their lips touching. I guess I need to see more romantic dramas with Neo and see if he's like this all the time or maybe it was just poor direction. Despite this, this show is a dreamy fantasy love story that's a feast for the eyes.

un drama con una premisa buena, pero que al final no fue lo que esperaba.
story / characters:⸻ la historia tenía mucho potencial, pero, a mí parecer, no fue realizado de una manera buena. desde el trailer parecía que tendría una buena trama, con escenas de acción y ese toque de romance fantasioso, pero al final, nos encontramos con una historia que a la cuarta parte se volvió aburrida, una historia que no supo manejar las situaciones que presentó de una manera interesante, lo cual es una pena, porque como dije, tenía el potencial de convertirse en un éxito, pero lamentablemente, muchos aspectos fueron llevados de manera un poco frustrante; sin embargo, aquí también entran los gustos propios de cada persona, no me gustan los triángulos amorosos y que esta historia los desarrollara a la mitad, solo disminuyó la calificación que al final le di. no diría que fue malísima, porque es mentira, me gustaron muchos aspectos, sin embargo, otros no me gustaron nada, después del episodio 15, me perdió un poco, considero que es el único arco que vale la pena al 100%, no me molesta el hecho que metieran ese toque de venganza y drama, sino el hecho de que el desarrollo de los personajes fue un poco extraño y la principal premisa de la historia, buscar las partes perdidas del cuerpo de tian yao, se convirtiera en un aspecto secundario o hasta terciario en la historia. con tian yao y yan hui como personajes principales, podías sacarles un montón de provecho, puedes hacerlos los personajes más redondos y darles un buen desarrollo, porque aunque considero que sí vimos un avance en sus personalidades e historia, al final se volvió un poco frustrante y diría que hasta aburrido, entre en conflicto muchas veces, me frustraron, quise dejar de verlo, hubieron momentos donde valían completamente las horas y otros donde no, pero definitivamente sí hubo escenas que me gustaron que me emocionaron, con las que llore, pero en general, tuve que poner velocidad 1.5x para verlo, porque aunque se estaba volviendo un poco aburrido, no quería abandonarlo (SPOILER ALERT: cuando se casan sí sentí emoción, cuando resolvieron sus problemas y yan hui volvió a confiar me puse feliz, cuando llegan a la ciudad donde se encuentran con xian ge lo disfrute bastante, todas esas escenas me emocionaron y me hicieron sentir mariposas, el beso bajo el agua fue bonito también, los momentos de tian yao como ‘bebé’ fueron divertidos, etc.); hay otros personajes que me fueron indiferentes, por ejemplo, la historia de huan xiaoyan y zhu li no me pareció interesante y mayormente salte sus escenas, por otro lado, todas los momentos de xian ge y feng qianshou me gustaron un montón, pero la historia de bai xiaosheng no me atrapó y fue un personaje un tanto difícil después de que se convirtió en el triangulo amoroso; considero que los villanos son buenos, aunque en gran parte no entendí el arco final, así que no tengo una opinión bastante solida respecto a eso.
acting / cast:
⸻ fue mi primera vez viendo actuar a neo hou y a zhou ye, así que fue una grata sorpresa, tienen química juntos, pero por alguna razón sentí que les faltaba un poco, por ejemplo, hay otros actores que logran cautivarte desde el primer momento y que su actuación parece natural, como crystal liu y chen xiao de a dream of splendor, que la simple imagen de verlos juntos te transmite algo, sin embargo, con neo hou y con zhou ye, no sentí esa chispa, lo hicieron bien, por supuesto que sí, pero me hubiera gustado que sus interacciones se hubieran visto más naturales y no tan forzadas, detrás de escena se ven cómodos, así que me pregunto que fue lo que les impidió mostrar esa quimica desbordante que tienen fuera de cámara mientras estaban grabando. de los otros actores no tengo mucho que decir, todos lo hicieron bien y considero que interpretaron de la mejor manera a sus personajes, me interesa ver más a chen xinyu, la actriz que interpreto a xian ge, quien fue mi personaje favorito.
ost:
⸻ el ost me pareció bueno en general, tiene canciones como free-floating de zhou shen, uno de los cantantes chinos que más me gustan, también tiene otras canciones buenas como the passing wind de liu yuning y qing ming xing del mismo neo hou, etc., me parecieron canciones buenas y que le daban el plus a cada escena, me transmitieron también todas las emociones que es lo que yo busco en un ost.
rewatch value:
⸻ volvería a ver muy pocas escenas, solo esas que significaron algo para mí o con las que sentí emociones fuertes, o algún tipo de resumen o compilación de tian yao y yan hui, pero definitivamente no volvería a ver todo el drama completo, no siento que disfrutaría verlo de nuevo, fue una experiencia agradable pero a la vez frustrante, sé que si lo veo de nuevo, tal vez me concentraré solo en las partes que no me gustaron y lo poquito que saque de bueno desaparecerá.
overall:
⸻ en general fue un drama bueno, con calificación media, me gustó pero le cambiaría algunas cosas y definitivamente quitaría el triángulo amoroso entre yan hui, tian yao y bai xiaosheng, dejaría todo el drama que se formó a la mitad, pero trataría de enfocarme en recuperar las partes perdidas del cuerpo de tian yao y no dejaría eso fuera de la línea principal. me llevó el recuerdo de un tian yao y una yan hui felices y que se reencontraron, al igual que una xian ge tan bonita como siempre.

Crazy about Asian dramas

Not bad one
Starting of the story I liked it then 2,3 and 4th episodes ,I didn't like it. For a while I thought drama is for kids . Too much animated devils looked fake . After 7th episode I guess story picked up and I started liking the story . For this story one's needs patience. Actors were good and acting too . I like the lead male acting more when he become kid. He acted so naturally that it looked like that he actually became kid.Indirect happy ending had been shown in the drama. But I am not happy with the ending.

Love the visuals of the main leads!!
Before I start my review, allow me to show my biggest admiration for all the great music themes of 'Back From The Brink' has. The opening song of this series is one of the reasons I like watching the series from the beginning till the end, and knowing that the male main lead, Hou Ming Hao/Neo Hou also sings one of the tracks from the ost gives me more excitement to watch it and let me tell you, his song really fits the moments between the two main characters (Tian Yao and Yan Hui). Every time his song is played during their moments I cannot help myself from not falling for his soothing voice.Honestly, I have never seen the works of these two main leads (Hou Ming Hao and Zhou Ye) before and I must say that pairing them up together in this series is an undeniably great choice. They look cute as well as sweet together and both obviously have amazing visuals. They are still young and I believe with their hard work they will become megastars in the future.
I hope people will stop comparing 'Back From The Brink' to other series as we all know each series has their own plus and minus. For me, personally, there are some scenes or moments I think that's really unnecessary in 'Back From The Brink', but they don't stop me from watching this series, and for the record, I just finished watching it last night. I think the ending is a bit satisfying although I hope there's more explanation to some things that I find them odd to figure. In spite of that, I'm quite contented with the whole thing.

alurnya ngeselin dikit
Pas nonton, aku nggak berekspetasi banyak. Muncul di home Viu waktu itu, karena penasaran jadi coba nonton trailer dulu baru ke youtube buat cari-cari lagi. Setelah akhirnya aku memutuskan untuk nonton, nggak nyesel sama sekali. Alurnya seru, comedynya dapet. Walaupun agak ngeselin karena banyak banget salah paham disini. tapi nggak papa. Yang penting semuanya terjelaskan dan salah paham nya hilang.Soal acting, aku awalnya agak kagok ya lihat acting mereka, cuman lama-lama jadi biasa aja dan suka. Paling suka di scene pas Tianyao hilang, rasa frustasi Yanhui dapet banget disini. Hampir nangis untung enggak 😅 Overall, recomended. Seru, menghibur, cuman agak ngeselin dikit alurnya hehe

Total schöne Serie
Beide Hauptdarsteller "Zhou Ye und Neo Hou" harmonierten super schön miteinander, auch alle anderen Schauspieler in dieser Serie waren super.Schöne Serie mit jeder Menge Romantik, Tränen und Herzschmerz, ihr sollten unbedingt Taschentücher bereithalten.
Diese Serie werde ich mir mit Sicherheit nochmal anschauen.

had all the feels
this is part of my top favorites xianxia and wuxia cdrama Back to the Brink, Lost you forever, till the end of the moon, are probably my top three most favorite! although I enjoyed love between fairy and devil and I’m already halfway I just couldn’t finish it.. I don’t know why. Anyway the chemist from Back to the brink is so good, The only time I disliked Zhou ye the female lead was in her other drama I instantly dropped it (everyone loves me)back to the brink had me bawling my eyes out, it also made me laugh numerous times, had so much butterflies during sweet moments, had me so mad with some effectively annoying antagonists.
The only thing I hoped for, some flashbacks kept of resurfacing, ending felt rushed. it was a happy ending but I hope they had more time to somehow made it more meaningful, seeing them reunite with friends, and the kiss was so short. other than those it was such a good xianxia cdrama.
