A Xianxia Masterpiece
Xianxia is a controversial genre. It is entertaining to watch because of the fantasy elements. However, it is often executed poorly due to fragmented storyline and terrible character relationships. While Xianxia dramas are difficult to film, Love and Redemption is a masterpiece and sets the bar high for future works of this genre.
From the first episode, you are immediately immersed in Xuanji’s world. You are hooked from the start because of the awesome action scenes, good CGI, and exciting plot. The backstory of Xuanji’s identity keeps you addicted throughout the show. You follow the characters as they try to rescue themselves and the world. By the end of the show, everything turns out to be one religious allegory. The show is not just for entertainment but also discusses morality and prejudice.
On top of the groundbreaking storyline, the acting surpasses many other dramas. No one other than Yuan Bingyan could have portrayed Xuanji. She starts as a senseless sixteen-year-old with no exposure to the real world. Later on, she matures into a brave woman who moves on from her past to save the people she loves. Likewise, Chengyi does a great job displaying the stoicism and heroism of Sifeng. They have some of the best couple chemistry that I have ever seen. Besides the fantastic main leads, I have also fallen in love with many of the supporting cast members. The antagonists are some of my most favorite villains ever.
The first forty episodes are nearly perfect. The impressive integration of comedy, romance, and adventure makes the show addicting to watch. The later episodes start to lose that kind of magic. The actions of supporting characters become illogical. The director’s editing is off-putting and not as well-paced. Thankfully, the very last few episodes somewhat redeem the show. Despite the less stellar episodes toward the end, I still think this show is highly worth watching.
What I love most about Love and Redemption are the lessons learned along the way. Pursuing happiness, keeping an open mind, and being grateful for living. The show beautifully expresses these messages, which are especially important during recent times. I hope that the drama can positively affect others as it has done for me.
