This drama is good for those that want to watch it in their spare time and not for binge watching..

Reasons:
1. Story- i like how unique the story is and that it is adapted from a novel. Usually a story that is adapted from a novel turns out to be great that is why i was hooked from the beginning until the end. This drama is a so-so for me. It is not that great but it is not bad also. I didn't felt compelled watching the whole 36 episodes in one sitting. I just watch it in my spare time and can still enjoy it.

2. Acting/cast- The actors here are amazing. They portray their roles really well, especially the three main cast.
Usually when there is a love triangle, i always felt bad for the second male lead but here the male main lead makes you wish that you met him in real life. His love for main female lead is unconditional, he always want to sacrifice himself for the sake of his lover. This kind of role is usually seen on the Second ML. Although the second ML is also likeable because of the things he did for female lead and also want to sacrifice himself for her the only difference is the second ML wants her love in return while the main male lead just do it without expecting anything from her.
The villains here also did a job well done. They are not pure evil but becomes evil only because of the circumstances that they experience. All in all.. clap clap for all of the cast's hardwork..

3. Music- The music is astounding. I usually skip the opening and ending song but here i was smack by the incredible songs and background music they use. Even though i didn't understand the lyrics the melody itself works its magic.

4.Rewatch value- Like i said, i only watch it because of the unique story but i think i will only watch it once. Because i know the whole plot already it is enough for me ..

5. Ending- I can't say that it is a happy ending but a good ending.. I expect more from the ending because i watch those many episode just to get a satisfaction of the ending but i am quite disappointed with it. Maybe some viewers felt satisfied with this ending because some chinese drama has a more tragic ending than this. It is still good and it is still worth to watch.
It is just a preference if you watch it or not. But just a piece of advice for those that wants to watch it.. If you like the first 5 episode of the drama continue it until the end. Because this kind of story is for you. But if not just drop it, it might be a waste of time for you.
I hope this review will help you.. ^_^

It is a really great drama worth to watch in your spare time. I binge watch it for a total of five days .. But if you have more time to spare watching it will be like 2-3 days because the first few episodes will really hook you in watching all of the 46 episodes. I am not a fan of long episode drama but this drama is definitely worth it.
Here are the reasons:

1. Story- the storyline here is superb. I think they really put an effort into making it. I feel that there is no filler here(maybe a little bit of flashback here and there). The story doesn't just make one character shine but all of them.. Every episodes are amazing. So if you think of skipping some episodes please don't you will regret it..

2. Acting cast- The actors here portray their role very well. Even the side characters, supporting characters, antagonist up to the main cast. One of the reason i watch it is because of the handsome actors and pretty actresses. Also, love the couples here.. not just for the main couple but also the supporting couples..

3. music- i feel that they only use 1 music here(the opening song) through the whole 46 episodes. even in scenes for action and sad scenes.. but i don't know why the opening song still fits on the scene.. maybe because i am just hook into watching it hehehe..

4.The Ending- i think most people will see it as a happy ending.. But some will see it as a sad ending if you are into romance because the male lead doesn't end up with anyone here.. You know the typical chinese drama.. If you are not into death don't watch it because this drama has a lot of it. I am not a fan of death too but i think those deaths are required to make it more exciting..

Overall... it is a must see drama that worth spending your time in the 46 episodes.

First of all.. this drama is amazing in a certain way..
But i will only recommend it to certain people..

Here are the reasons:

1) Story- The story is composed of good storyline if you are a fan of fantasy, romance, school with super powers kind of drama. But if you only watch it because of the synopsis/summary where i think the female lead is strong don't watch it because it will only disappoint you. Another thing is that the story line is good at first turning into ok and then ahmmm?? I must admit that i only finish the drama because of the cast hehehe..

2) Acting/cast - The actors and actresses here is very pretty and handsome but if you ask me about there acting, i think they play it well. But there roles? I'm kind of uhhh.. because i think they deserve more but i don't know who am i supposed to blame (director/ writers/myself?) The main male lead is strong, handsome and smart which i like. The second male lead is cute, kind, loyal and strong too but we all know how 2nd male role play right? They are the one who always need to give way so that the main couple will be happy and the one who always sacrifice themselves to protect their love one, which you can see in this drama. That is a minus for me. Even though i know that he will not be with the female lead i still root for his happiness because of everything he did to the girl he deserves more.

All of them are really likable except one, the female lead.. I don't blame the actress because she is good in acting but i blame her role in this drama. She is one of the reasons why i almost stop watching this because she is too self centered here without knowing herself.
- The fact that she is too irritating in a way that she gets to a university for free but you can't see her working hard in her studies and only sleeps in class or always finding her savior.
-She hates the main male lead at first without knowing that it is her fault in the first place but in the middle part she stalks him and fell in love at him even though he has a gf, i know he didn't love his gf but they still have a relationship and because of the female lead they broke up.
- She is taking advantage of the second male lead. Because he is kind enough to help her in studies and everything that she needs help but i don't remember her feeling any gratitude at all. She even has a gut to get mad at him only because the second male lead almost beat the male lead in a fair competition. Its like she wants him to lose for the sake of the main male lead which i find unfair because that competition is important to him too.
- it is a little < spoiler>i am expecting a lot in the female lead in terms of superpowers but i only see a tiny bit of her powers in the last episode

3) the music is very addicting. Usually i skip the opening song but in here i must admit the song is very captivating that i ended up listening to it.

4) the ending is...
somewhat disappointing, confusing with a little bit of cliffhanger

First of all this drama is worth the watch. At first, i was hesitating in watching this because of the long episodes. But the first 5 episodes hook me up immediately and i can't wait to watch the whole 58 episodes.

Reasons why i like/ love this drama.

1. Story- It is not your typical story. The story is on point that makes you hook up immediately. Plus, the twist and satisfying ending. The action, CGI and the romance is a super plus for me. The only thing that makes me disappointed is the long episodes. I think the story can still be great even without those filler scenes just to make up for the 58 episodes.

2. The cast/ Characters - The cast and characters are superb and a big thumbs up for their spectacular acting. I can't think of anyone who can portray these characters more better. From the villains to the main leads are awesome, especially the romance of the 2 main leads and the side characters. Making you wish there is a sequel for this drama. The cast for this drama are amazing making you want to watch there other dramas.

3. Music - i like the music use for this, making you feel a lot more emotional in the scenes that need it.

4. Happy ending!! - I really despise those drama that makes you hook up from the beginning and left you hanging in the end. This drama won't disappoint you. Even in the middle of the long episodes you feel that the main leads are not going to end up together or they have a miserable life. Don't lose hope and continue watching because the two main leads will get there revenge for those people that hurt without being the bad one. They get their revenge in a good and just ways.

I would really like to recommend it to everyone... This drama made me feel all kind of emotions: love, hate, anger, sad etc.
At first i am at doubt to let myself dive in to some historical Chinese drama with loooong episodes... sad ending.......
But this drama made me realize to give chinese historical drama a chance.. I am not disappointed that i watch it.
Here are the reasons.

1. The story is superb.. Although at some point i curse the script writer for always making the female lead suffer but later on i'm loving it because it makes her more stronger and more smarter. I like how she solve it all and make those people who try to frame her suffer the backlash.

2. The cast is amazing. They portray there own characters well, from the main lead to the supporting characters, even those bitches and antagonist. I love the romantic moments of the side characters making me root for them.

3. The Ending.. I will not spoil anything but i will tell you that it is a bitter sweet ending. I am both satisfied and unsatisfied with the ending.
* Reasons to be satisfied:
-all the antagonist die
-main leads ending up together with a child (extra points for me)
-There is peace throughout the land
* Reasons that i'm not satisfied:
- antagonist die a sudden death, i want them to suffer more that to die easily for everything they have done to those innocent people.
- what happened to supporting couple in the story? Did they get married? I'm confused
- I want it to have a second season. There is so many questions that i haven't get any answer.

I really really want to recommend this drama for all those people who were tired of those cliche plots that make you angry with the characters and sometimes blame it on the scriptwriters. The word that can describe this drama is 'perfect'.

Let me start with the story.
Some people compare it with the drama, 'itazura na kiss' from japan , 'its started with the kiss' from Taiwan, 'mischievous/playful kiss' from korea.. so i thought it will be just a remake that is why i am quite hesitant to watch this. I've seen a lot of drama where the guy is popular and arrogant while the stupid and weak girl is head over heels to the guy same thought pop into my head as i read the synopsis but my guts tell me to give this drama a try and good thing i did because now this drama is one of my favorite drama as of 2018.

This drama makes me feel happy to the point where i laugh so hard that my tummy aches.. Good vibes for those people that are depress like me hahaha..
It also makes me sad that i cried so hard that it swell so much in the morning. Although the plot is sometimes predictable, i don't know why i still feel sad watching the scenes that you know what will happen already. This makes this drama very addicting.
It also makes me scream at the top of my lungs (screaming while hugging the pillow to prevent my neighbors from getting angry at me because i am so loud) and squeeze whatever things that my hands will get on because of those romantic moments. Those romantic moments are very common( walking together, holding hands, 3 seconds stare, almost kiss scenes) but i don't know why i still feel like screaming all the time that my heart will soon burst out of my body. That was just the common romantic moments.. Imagine the two main leads kissing scenes, i would die of too much sweetness and mushiness..

Actually i don't know how to explain my roller coaster ride with this drama.. Only those people who have watch the drama will understand me.


PS. For those people that are hesitant like me because of the comparison to other drama (mention above). Please don't hesitate because this drama is different. It makes you addicted from the very first episode to the last. Although it has a satisfying ending, the addiction that i have in this drama makes me want it to have a season 2.

Reasons why i love this drama:
1) the story might sound cliche because i already seen so many drama that looks like this but all of those plot holes from the previous drama that i watch makes me unsatisfied and the drama 'a love so beautiful' filled those holes and completed the story that i have in my mind.

2) the cast/characters are very lovable. You might think that the main lead jiang chen and xaio xi are your typical stereotype stupid/poor/weak girl love the campus crush/popular/genius/ arrogant boy. But don't judge yet because there characters might be different from what you think they are. First let start with :

*Jiang Chen the popular guy known for his looks and high grades. Because of this characteristic we might think that he is the arrogant main lead who doesn't treat the female lead right. But a big no for me! Maybe sometimes he treats the female lead poorly but it is just because he doesn't know how to express himself. With this kind of plot sometimes you will root for the second male lead but Jiang Chen is different, you will root for him more especially to those jealous scenes which i find cheezy and cute. One thing that makes him more lovable for me is his one liner sentence in a pokerface. (sometimes sarcastic, cringy and sweet)

*Xaio Xi, a cheerful girl who doesn't study much, but that doesn't mean she is stupid( just average) is expressive about her admiration towards Jiang Chen. From the very first episode the male lead already know how Xaio Xi feels for him. She is not the typical "doesn't do anything good" type of girl because she is good/talented at something.
