The most beautiful Xianxia drama
Yes I am not refraining from giving that title despite it's minimum flaws. Because when I watch other Xianxia dramas each has it's own flaws, but I am always turned off by acting especially by main leads, but Ancient Love Poetry for the first time a xianxia drama that don't have this flaws.
Acting
Haters said Zhou Dongyu is not pretty enough for Xianxia, well I don't care if she is pretty or not but she is one of the best actress out there, very natural and raw in her emotions. She carried her character to the fullest potential and I cannot see any other actress who can pull off what she did in Ancient Love Poetry. Her portrayal left a deep impression on me in every progress of the plot, that no weird costume design or make up could take me away from understanding her character's growth and the twist and turn of emotions. Sometimes in the plot the concept appeared simple but she acted it out so delicately and convincingly that the scene became impactful.
Another actor being targeted by haters by calling him fat and paralyzed face acting. An obvious sign that those who said this did not watch the drama at all. Xu Kai played the three character Bai Jue, Qing Mu and Bo Xuan so distinctively that you felt like this are different actors but at the same time as the plot progress there is a need for the combination of some traits from different character he made it possible. His gift is his eyes expression, he can emote so well with eyes to differentiate between the three character. He blew me away in the last scene, solidified that he is a young actor that I would be closely watching from now on.
Storyline
I always long for a storyline that did not create crisis for the sake of settling it as soon as it appeared. No background no reason why it happened. But Ancient Love Poetry storyline intertwined it's plot so well connecting the early episodes plot to the later plot and they string this together using character growth, significance weapon and supporting character's involvement. I appreciate that they included in some nostalgia in some scenes, it makes this drama more unique compared to other dramas.
I really recommend everyone to check this drama out. It brings out a different presentation of Xianxia drama on the table.
