A movie that will leave you breathless, melancholic, and lastly longing for a love that can last for a lifetime. A love that knows no bound, a love that transcends through time.

Love When the Stars Fall
3 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
The greatest gift of all: LOVE
This is a story of all kinds of love seen in the world:1. A love of a sister
2. A love of a friend
3. A love of a father
4. A love for another soul
5. A love to mankind
A heroine that was born as a jinx to mortal, supposed to be crown princess to the darkness, an empyrean consort of immortal, a crux to all 4 realms, and a reincarnation as one of the twin flowers of ganoderma of vein. Yetan suffered, schemed, defied and sacrificed all she got with her sister yet both lived a few years of mortal life.
Her sister, her companion since birth, her partner and her pillar of support: Qingkui, the better half, sister and a friend. She showed Yetan that humanity is worth dying for - to love, to forgive and to sacrifice happiness for duty and for peace of all 4 realms.
Two sisters - two life intertwined and destined for greater prophecy.
If you like to watch a series - full 40 episodes with 45 minutes screen time each and asked if it’s worth it.
If you like the hero ready to sacrifice the world for the heroine.
If you like the heroine who was initially thought to be bad but wholeheartedly sacrificed herself for others.
If you like sister-love and all family angst, problems with their father.
And, if you like to cry buckets of tears starting episode 30-40. (Each scene of redemption, sacrifices, the prophecy and vengeance gave me an itch until I finished the series)
This is your story, your series. For they not only portray the perfect role, I also saw their development as actors and their characters as well.
“This life was given to me by Ye Tan. I will live for her for the rest of my life. If the four realms accept her, then so be it. But if they don’t, I will take on the entire world.” - Youqin

Because This is My First Life
4 mensen vonden deze beoordeling nuttig
This drama are stories of people (and animal) who had taste of life. Those who have fallen in and out of love, people who are in a turmoil relationship, people who are scared of trying and cats who deliberately left alone when their master is away from home. At some point in time in our 20's, we will experienced these kind of pain, happiness, sadness, hope, agony, bereavement, and love. Then, we will be like these characters: getting frustrated, doing unnecessary mistakes, hurting ourselves and one another, hoping for the best to come, and lastly learning to fall in love amidst all those events happened. That's the beauty of life, you have time to redeem yourself and be well in return.
"Everything will be okay in the end, if it's not okay, it is not the end." - John Lennon
Best beginning and best ending in all dramas so far.
Sweet dates are fluffy. Kisses are great. Confessions are the best.

I just want to add my two cents in here...this was certainly one of the best drama ever made and I watched this for a second time already.. I love the technicality of editing skills (especially on ending scenes), of the way the director emphasized the difference of life of royalties, gisaeng, as well as slaves.The main point in this drama was revenge and it was brutally portrayed all throughout the series..from a simple petty misunderstandings to a bloody killing spree. All the artists in this drama were top class! they showed so much talents that I almost forgot this was only a pigment of fiction from a certain facts about King Suyang and General Kim Jongseo.
***FROM HERE ON: MILD SPOILERS CAN BE READ***
There's only one thing that's bugging on my mind though..the storyline was far-off from perfect for it had similarities between the two household rivals: Montague and Capulets. A tragic story in which two star-cross'd lovers were caught between crossfire of their own families. Likewise, the two protagonists of these series resembles them with only the throne as the sole motive of the riffraff of the two families: one ambitiously covet the throne, the other wants to uphold the throne to the rightful owner. From a marriage proposal to the death of the reigning King, all hell breaks loose. It was carefully written BUT the character of Shin Myun was the only thing I can't stand, not because he had no backbone to begin with but due to his lack of background.
Why did he hate Seung Yoo so much?
Did he really loved Se Ryung? OR he just loved her because she was her consort-to-be due to circumstances?
Was he really ambitious and selfish to begin with?
I emphatized with his loss, but his loyalty was so questionable that it became false to me. What really drove him mad? what'll be his gain after this war? Pardon me for ranting but I really want his character to be developed, for the viewers to see his side on why he allowed such heinous acts on his brethren.
All in all, this was a good drama to invests with. 24 episode was a good number to summarise and pack-up all the things that needed to be ended.

One of the greatest rom-com-youth-love story in China Dramaland. <3
P.S.If you are SINGLE then be ready to feel the loneliness of being single and later on, you will ask all gods to grant you a JIANG CHEN or BU SONG in your life... If you are IN A RELATIONSHIP then congratulations because you have a person to hug so better tell your hubby/bf/lover/companion when you are watching this because after this show you will have so much sweetness you eventually want to kiss your partner. If you are recently HEARTBROKEN/BREAK-UP...DO NOT WATCH THIS....FOR NOW...PLEASE...or else you will be bitter and will not finish this great drama and you'll curse all the saints why they're so cruel to your fate...
TRUST US WHO HAVE BEEN VICTIM OF THIS PLAGUE.

THIS MOVIE IS NOT FOR MINORS and must be warned beforehand (don't worry you can watch this after your 18th birthday). All in all, this is a masterpiece that transcends through time. This is like a perfect cup of coffee with perfect blend of sex, humor, romance and drama. The only regret that I had is I'm too late for "The Panties" bandwagon.
P.S. Ji Sung is incredibly hot in this movie, a must-see!!!
P.P.S. You'll get addicted to the song Hyun Seung (Ji Sung) composed and sang at the later part of the movie *wink*

This is my take for this ultimate-once-in-a-lifetime-destiny.
It ended so fast. Fifty-six episodes yet it is not enough to portray all necessary conclusion at the end. It has all important recipe in a drama to have so much impact in an entertainment world however some of the episodes where drag and some are ended so fast.The mortal realm life is enough for someone to drop the series because they gave importance to a side-character that at the end they didn't used very well (yes, that's you QingTi, sorry brother). Despite having a good chemistry of both ML and FL, the story stretched as far as they can just to established that DongHua is vulnerable once he's mortal. Yes. It's important however some of the clip can be emitted and it still will be that good.
The reunion after mortal life is also a good foundation for their relationship and IMO is a good transition from draggy episodes. I could not ask for more.
The Dream of Aranya is also one of the best plot in the story and it is the beginning of their unfated love story. THIS part is climactic yet something is also missing. Maybe because the story itself is complicated enough in the book. This is where DongHua realise that he can love after millions of years. It so sweet once he accepted his fated love and its almost sweeter when FengJui reciprocated his feelings.
The great war, this is for me is the downfall of the story. DON'T GET ME WRONG, I love this part that it saddens me to say that this could have been better (I think the writers had memo that the drama will be shorten or that they lack sleep because why they do this to us?). This is where all sacrifices, redemption, fate and trust plays and is crucial to have a mind-blowing impact because it will sealed the fate of the story of DongHua and FengJui. But in the end its a HEA!! But as I said, it could have been better. (I JUST WANT A REAL WEDDING FOR DONGHUA AND FENGJUI!!!)

Why did I let this go?
Easy, because 14th prince deserves better. The character of 14th prince is written very well. From an ice-cold-don't-care facade to a man who learn to fall in love however with his brother's wife. He redeem his self many times that you can't help but empathized with his character. For me, he really stolen the show and it really made me mad for him to be partnered to a woman who has no principle and conscience. Even if at the end she will changed for the best, the relationship of MingHui and 14thprince (YingTi) is not destined to begin with. HE DESERVES BETTER!!!!Vond je deze recentie nuttig?
