The Starry Love (2023)

Xanxia Drama's
The FL and her sister are flower spirits.
Strong FL and ML
The ML is a prince from the Heavenly Realm where he is expected to rule with little to no emotions at all. Also, the ML plays several versions of the same character.
The second ML is from the demon world.
soulmates, star crossed lovers, opposites attract: you name it.
and finally, the ML & FLfight against all odds for their love.

There is a love story of someone from the Heavenly realm falling for a person from the Demon realm. Both have beautiful visuals and a theme of opposites attract, unlikely romance.

- Heavenly emperor wiping out the ml's memories
- The fl being known as a jinx by people
- Heavenly realm and demon realm
- Strong ml and fl
- Ml is the heavenly emperor's son
- Ml forgetting the fl because of the heavenly emperor

Similarities:

- Historical fantasy fiction dramas
- The leads sacrifice themselves for their people
- FL is like nothing (weak) but grows to become powerful
- Immortals, Demons, and Mortals [World]
- ML reincarnates
- Marriage
- Cold ML turning to Warm ML after falling in love with FL

Differences:

- In "The Starry Love", there are two princesses while in "Ancient Love Poetry" there are no princesses
• Therefore, there are two female leads in "The Starry Love"
- "Ancient Love Poetry" focuses more on the immortal world side while "The Starry Love" focuses on all worlds equally
- "The Starry Love" has multiple couples
- "Ancient Love Poetry" has 49 episodes while "The Starry Love" has 40 episodes.

They are both fun to watch, Shen Li is focused on one romance, Starry Love has multiple romances but the main focus is Empyrean Xuan Shang and Ye Tan's story. All of them are cuties. Both ML's fall hard once they accept that they can forgo the weird teachings and are allowed to fall in love.

Different telling of the same story.
During the Tang Dynasty in Yangzhou, two beautiful ladies are due to marry on the same day. Du Bing Yan will wed the seriously ill Qi Tian Lei, the third and prodigal son of the Qi Mansion, while Li Yu Hu must marry the bandit Yuan Bu Qu, who recently kidnapped her martial artist father. En route to their respective grooms' homes, both brides visit the Temple of the Mountain God, which suddenly erupts into flames. In the ensuing chaos, each boards the other's marriage sedan! How will they deal with the consequences of this mistake?

The Starry love and Divine destiny are similar in three genres
-Wuxia
-Romance
-Fantasy

They both tell the tale of struggled love and hardship to find a path of belonging. And they both have interesting characters, so I recommend this.

Both stories of demons/spirits
- hate /love and painful stories
- Gorgeous cast
- outstanding styling & costumes

Watch this drama, it is so good. At first I thought it will be waste of my time but NO IT IS REALLY GOOD. THE STORYLINE, CAST, ACTING,and male lead, female lead . They are so good. Waiting for Season 2 . If you are C Drama lover also love fighting then you can watch this.

The plots and settings are completely different, but if you like to see women supporting women and healthy relationships, these are the shows to see. The FLs have had hard lives but find support in the women around them, while the MLs are used as weapons and have rocky relationships with their fathers. Both dramas call out abuse and show how people can help each other heal.

- sweet bickering between leads;
- mischievous ML & FL;
- ML plays mahjong;
- capable leads;
- stubborn FL

- the same director;
- great fantasy dramas;
- not perfect, but nice CIG;
- reincarnation;
- good-looking leads;
- nice ML;
- FL's been mistreated;
- multiple couples;
- SML (from secondary couple) is of similar type

Lovers from two different places, doomed to not succeed but they will :). Super funny and strong FL and compassionate / caring ML. Multiple characters of ML, well executed.

The Longest Promise and The Starry Love both have

- A strong female lead who is eager to learn.
-The female lead in Starry Love is looked down by her peers, like Zhu Yan.
- Cold yet very warm and caring male lead
- In The Longest Promise, Shi Ying was 3 days with only the memories of him being a crown prince, this reminded me a lot of The Starry Love, where Yetan goes to find Shaodian Youqin's soul shards and has to make all 3 soul shards fall in love with her.
-The male lead help the female lead to learn spells.
-Overall vibe is very similar

This is a must watch after The Longest Promise!!!!!

Both are the part of the 'Sweet' trilogy... Both are costume Xianxia dramas.... Love when the stars fall will also be made by same director Andy Liu.... Who also made Ashes of love....
