Love and Redemption (2020)

Before you watch this drama make sure to control your emotion.

The drama start with Chu Xhuan Ji FL ( a god) which was emotional less created by Hao Chen in a illegal way and send into the mortal world .later on she meet the ML Yu Si Feng which help her to regain the past memories and emotions . While he suffered many obstacle on the way .
I don’t know why people don’t judge by looking at their deep intension .The way all the sect people tourture Si Feng and wronged him every time makes me heartbreak .Sometimes I often thought of skipping the episode but at last i watch it all.Hopefully he didn’t hold the light of the devil.
I don’t think all the people become bad without a reason.The character Wu Tong wasn’t bad at all .At the beginning though he did some mistake he can be improved but all the sect people tried to kill him rather then giving him a chance or to improve.Later on he doesn’t have any option rather than to become evil. Somehow it shows our society how they pressure other people .
Although the ending is good but was it worth it for Yu Si Feng to endure all the pain for Chu ji? The pain was too excessive from the beginning till last .

The music are also good.

Acting - I love the way Cheng yi acted the most with all the scence very pertect while the supporting role also did thier best .

A beautiful story about two lovers overcoming hardships and staying true to each other.

If I had to sum up this show in one word, it would be: BREATHTAKING.
I loved everything about this drama. Starting from the world, the costumes, the scenery and the characters. I was in love the moment I started watching the first episode and was immediately captured by the story revolving around Xuanji and Sifeng. Starcrossed Lovers doesn't even come close to describing this tragic couple. I normally don't cry as much watching tv shows as I used to but these two rendered me speechless and turned me into a sobbing mess at times. Sifeng is one of those characters you can't even help but adore and love. Cheng Yi did an incredible job in portraying a tortured young man just trying his best.This self sacraficing cinnamon roll didn't deserve any of the shit he went through, giving up everything for Xuanji so many times. He went through torture, a world of ice, numerous lives being reborn in the human realm while getting killed by the one woman he loves more than himself, seemingly destined to die in each life when he gets even remotely close to said woman. I cried with him, for him, for their tragic love. Crystal Yuan as Xuanji was impeccable as well. Their chemistry on-screen was phenomenal and thus I melted a little every time Sifeng gave Xuanji one of his rare smiles or looked at her in adoration.
The side characters made this drama even more enjoyable, especially Linglong's side arc. I kind of saw myself in her a little and really felt for her. Sifeng's familar, the snake girl (I forgot her name) had me feeling frustrated at times but all she did was for the most selfless reasons and it made me sob.
The soundtrack was perfect and fit each scene incredibly well, especially the emotional ones.

Yeah well, to end this review: This show is a sobbing feast and everyone should suffer the way I had to suffer :)))

Flying under a radar!

I didn't know this will turn out to be something i can't put down and will be glued to it. I was sad that it got over. Initially i was annoyed with FL as she took everything for granted or acted naïve. But later on she gets better slowly. Also our FL i found it plain looking and not so beautiful whichever angle i see it from. This is a slow burn romance, it takes it's time to get there. I thing i remember clearly is chemistry is off the charts for the leads. Story plot is complex and if you don't pay attention you can easily miss it. I don't write long reviews and dissect each part but that is becoz i don't have the skill :)
I only like to write about what struck me the most and stayed with me after watching this few months ago. Definitely go for it if you are like me who enjoys Chinese wuxia dramas.

Do not snack while watching

Sifeng was easily the best character in the show. He was loving, patient, loyal, and had convictions. The writers did a good job developing his relationship with Xuanji. Although, she was frustrating at times due to her cluelessness, it wasn't completely without merit. She was missing her six senses, so it was natural for her to not understand love. But, she understood friendship and bonds that brought people together. And, due to her bond with Sifeng and his help to get her senses back, she gradually fell in love with him.

Normally, a slew of misunderstandings would be frustrating. But, here, they were necessary to show character development and Xuanji's struggle to reunite with Sifeng and to get him to forgive her. I liked that the writers did not just make Sifeng take her back as soon as she showed up. She had to work for it and she never gave up. This showed that her love was as strong as his, which I liked.

Now, the worst part of the show was the constant blood spitting. We really need to go away with that. It's disgusting and completely unnecessary. Characters don't need to spit blood in every fight or with every physical injury. It looks forced and ridiculous. Watching the show completely destroyed my snack time.

I also did not care for most of the secondary characters. Linglong was spoiled and annoying. The sixth brother was boring. Wu Tong falling in love with Linglong was completely nonsensical and poorly written. If the writers went down the redemption route and wrote Wu Tong as less of a psycho, their relationship could've been interesting. None of the sects had any redeeming qualities. They were narrowminded, pompous, and thought very highly of themselves while committing atrocities. The demons were a lot more relatable and sympathetic.

Because I absolutely hated Hao Chen/Bailing for his continuous meddling and self-righteousness, I wanted to see him die a horrible death. But his defeat was rather underwhelming. He just realized that he was wrong and was demoted. I thought it was anticlimactic. I wanted to see him defeated in battle like the villain that he was.

Overall, I could watch this show again because I absolutely loved the love story.

It was a struggle to get all the way through to the end

My man didn't have 10 lives. He gotta go through 90 lives, because he had to have 9 lives for each life.
How many times can you die without dying? Sifeng: Yes

lol

I tried really hard not to hate the FL the entire time, but it was frustrating af. I kept yelling, "AHHHH! JUST GIVE HIM TO ME THEN FFS!"
Luckily, the ML carried.
Once it finally got going, the chemistry was 🔥 Thankfully.

Also, if I had $1 for every time someone said 'Sifeng' in the show, I'd be a millionaire. I stg, I was hearing 'Sifeng, SIFENG' in my sleep for days while watching this.
My husband even nudged me asking me who this 'Sifeng' was because I said his name in my sleep. Show gonna get me in trouble! LOLOLOL
Was just so repetitive 😂😭

I'd rewatch again, but definitely would skip through 2/3rds of it if I did.

nice drama

This drama started off really nice and got me hooked from the beginning episodes... the middle was okay and the ending part was awesome, the episodes of misunderstandings felt too long and the male lead sacrificing himself every time was somewhat exhausting but i really liked the drama... although i did skip a lot (i always do with very long dramas), i didn't skip as much as i usually do. many of the characters here are likable. female lead is one of the most bearable chinese dramas have given us in a while (she had only a few episodes of stupidity ONLY). Although the villans were annoying, have to admit they were good looking lol..... the ending was satisfying imo everybody got what they deserved.
overall drama quality is up to par with Ten miles of peach blossoms and ashes of love which are my favorites in this genre. the music was lovely as well.

The story is well written. It was will organized and has quality without the drama garbage. There are bits of humor, romance, and tragedy all mixed with cultivation involving the three realms adding some magical/spiritual/divine beasts. I am glad there was some efforts made to create a happy ending and all bits and pieces of the story eventually merged together in a most satisfying ending. The actors did a great job in bring the story to life. The music scores blended well with the story in creating the right emotion and atmosphere without drowning the dialog which I find disappointing in some dramas. I binged through the whole drama but it would be quite awhile before I would watch it again but it was definitely worthy of watching at least once.

Poor character writing.

Starting off a really promising romance, the story gradually got bogged down in misunderstandings and thereby sacrificing the characters in it. The way the characters are written is the worst. Them disregarding the consequences when making decisions despite knowing they could possibly involve or harm other innocent people (FL), them making morally stupid decisions without a blink or repentance (MinYan), them sacrificing themselves despite all the risks and bodily harms inflicted (SiFeng), them imposing what they want on others (stupid dad), ... All of them are pushovers, especially FL when she took an oath to appease her dad (ep41).

My overwhelming feeling while watching is frustration, which outweighs the heart-fluttering, roller-coaster moments i had for the romance.
