I first started this show last year but gave up in the first episode because of the FL. I just couldn't like her character and stopped watching. I decided to pick up this show again while waiting for Immortal Samsara to finish airing & i can only say the only regret i had is watching this too late.

LAR from start till end is absolutely beautiful. The love of Si Feng ML and Xuan Ji FL is one of the BEST I have seen in all c-dramas (atleast it tops all the xianxia i've watched). FL's character really grows on me because I thought she would be immature but she never once blame/doubt ML first before waiting for his answer. She trusts the ML completely and vice versa. ML on the other hand loves only Xuan Ji and will do anything for her. Although there are a few misunderstandings in between, i really liked that each time, Xuan Ji tries to hear from Si Feng. They also have a very touching love story that started way back from their past lives. In addition to this, the evil one this show (aka. hao chen shi shiong) is very annoying because he is always there is break them up. Thank god the supporting characters for this show makes it very bearable to watch - Xuan Ji's family including his dad, sister and sister's love line which is her senior are all very nice people which really wants the best for her.

I see a lot of people compare this is Ashes of Love and I can really see the similarity in this two. As a big fan of AOL, i do think that overall LAR has a better plot, love chemistry and character development. For both shows that has more than 50 episodes, LAR is very well distributed in covering all aspects and it makes my heart full as we get to see a lot of love moments and a lot of their own couple time. Their love felt more natural in LAR and i get to see it develop each time they interact. However, I didn't think Bing Yan (FL) did well in terms of acting. Her character was well written which carried her more. Her sad scenes didn't felt impactful while Cheng Yi (ML) acted really well!!!! (would already rate a 10 for ML)

In my heart, both drama have its own place and I would rewatch both anytime! So if you haven't watched this drama yet, please watch it because you won't be disappointed! It's one of the best xianxia.
