when everything comes together perfectly ... magic happens
I had been craving for some xian xia drama and I came across one of the reviewers pick of LBFD - I have never been a fan of dylan wang's acting (more miss then hit for me ) and esther yu's earlier works were okay-ish .But *magic happened * ;)
I admit Dylan wang was the highlight of this show but it would not have been possible without the rest of the factors
1- esther yu's perfect embodiment of her character as fairy orchid
2- zhang ling ke's role as an endearing second male lead
3- the amazing array of supporting cast
4- a very well written script - kudos to the writers (though it did wobble towards the end of the series but thankfully it pulled back in the last couple of episodes)
5- brilliant OST - for me this is another highlight of the show
6- and of course the entire VFX / CGI team for this series - what a visual feast !! the conceptualisation , the design , the actualisation on the screen (considering that we have marvel fatigue nowadays, this really was breath of fresh air for me ) and I thoroughly enjoyed it .
Good thing this drama took a different route then the original novel cause believe me dongfang cingcang from the novel is not a likeable character ... lol .
Overall this was one was a very fortunate lucky strike for this whole team that came together - word of honor days ;) .... anyone remembers ...lol
Hope I get to see such masterpiece again in the future especially in xian xia genre

Another dump from GMMTV *facepalm*
The only palatable part of this entire show was the healthy friendships within the group and my now new favorite couple Tan- Fang .I had liked Aou in Be my favorite - He had an amazing support role in that show and a very likeable character .
But now I have become a fan of Boom - throughout the series his acting was measured and appropriate as per the context of the situation - Nothing over the top acting and so on - such a pleasant surprise .
And the Tan - Fang couple dynamics was so grounded that it was refreshing which also credits to the both the actors ability to understand their characters and act accordingly .
The rest of the show was meh - the remainder couples were just copy paste of their previous shows.
Good thing I waited for the whole series to be out to watch it at one go .

Not bad for the relatively new Daou-Offroad pairing
This drama had a promising start with a unique premise and as we have already seen that the lead pair have good chemistry from love in translation which should have added on the favorable side of the series - But this drama quickly wobbled in the mid episodes and had a okay-ish ending.I would have loved to see the story and characters more fleshed out during its runtime instead of making some really potential characters just some disposable plot devices.
I was very excited for this story over the currently airing not so good JBLs .
Anyways - nevertheless this pairing has good potential for future projects as both the actors have improved considerably in their acting - Looking forward for their new projects .
