Story: weak point
It seems like in China there's the trend with the adaption of (internet) novels, but many are failing either due scriptwriting or directing . Like many of the novel adaptions always got a happy comedic beginning and the dramatic second half/end with very simple to no plot. Problem is the also the overused bad written time travel plot.
Acting/Cast: wasted cast
The cast was actually pretty decent with their acting especially the main leads are doing a great job and had good chemistry.
Music: There was nothing outstanding to me. I liked the OP theme song.
Overall: A teenish romance drama with strong leads but weak plot.

so-so ending

I've just finished and here is what I have to say about the drama
first of all, great male lead ! he is so handsome and you can feel his love for the female lead just by the way he looks at her, his expression, the way he talks and act around her! it is so heart warming <3
BUT the female lead can be annoying, for one she can't make up her mind on who she really wants to be With and she is selfish because she always argue with the male lead about not wanting to be with him but always runs back to him whenever there's problem and use him then leave him again! I have anger issue and I can't handle stuff like this. ugh I have so much bad things to say about the female lead but to put it short SHE'S CONFUSED.
but the overall story was "ok" not reALLY my type. it's not boring but it doesn't excites you either. the only reasons why I kept watching was because the male lead was so good and I was waiting for a turn away for big and exciting things to happen which never did.
the ending was a happy ending but i believe they could've made it better.
I feel as thought it was disappointing because even till the end the male lead was still painted as a villain even thought he had never personally harm anyone and the female was selfish and never really had consideration for the male lead. it was always about what she wanted or how she wanted, not what can I do to help him or to benefit him and give him justice. overall personally it was trash for me. the male is still painted as a villain and hated by everyone, he lost everything to save dumb female lead and he is now powerless . all he got in the end was a trashy ass useless female and justice was never serve, he never even got the chance to avenge his mother. I just wish they gave him more than that.
a better ending.
I personally would not be re-watching this anytime soon. it was kinda boring and the ending didn't make It better.

Truly A beautiful love story

I went into this drama cringing every 3 secs because of the female lead's stupid actions. I didn't expect much from it since all the reviews were saying that this drama sucks. But I kept watching because I was intrigued by how this drama would develop. I HATE rewatching dramas no matter how much I like them and I rated this a 4 for rewatch value, that speaks ALOT. I found myself crying multiple times while watching this pure undying love. I'm just a girl. This is the type of love i dream about, Shangguan Qiu Yue truly sacrificed his EVERYTHING for the female lead. The love story between Fu Lou and Yousi also made me cry a river. ITS SO BEAUTIFUL how they loved each other unreservedly. Like Yousi said, Love is when no matter what you look like in everyone elses eyes, in his eyes you are special. I just love the male and female lead's chemistry. I love everything about their interactions. I love how he vowed to change himself for her. I love how he loved her with everything he had in him. I love the concept of her sacrificing her immortality for true love. Living a short life with the love of your life is truly better than living forever without ever feeling loved. PLEASE WATCH IT. yes the female lead's voice might sound annoying at first but it gets better towards the end, she drops the baby voice. ♡♡♡

*trigger warning. read at your own risk*

Ok look. I took off a ton of points here because the main character just pisses me off. idk why she's so obsessed with xb because he's a total dick. the acting was great. especially li hong yi- he legit carried this series. im just pissed at how fmc keeps defending xb and always thinks the best of him despite him literally willing to sacrifice her for a nut. a freaking nut.
and can we talk about how it took 2 ppl DYING for her to realize what an asshole xb really is? that's in epi 26 btw. anyways, zhao lusi is great in romance of tiger and rose (传闻中的陈芊芊)- so go watch that.

also, ik that someone's gonna get hella sensitive over this- so just bear in mind that everyone has different opinions. if u want romance, this is the drama for you. if you want a story with a fmc that actually thinks for herself? this ain't it.

This is the most Chinese drama I've ever watched. I love the storyline, it was very nice. The acting skills of my two favorite Chinese actors Li Hong Yi and Zhao Lou Si. They have a very nice chemistry. I also watched Prodigy Healer but I prefer this one. The music was nice, the acting skills are excellent. That's all! Hoping for another C-drama with the both of them. The graphics was also good. I was very touched at the last ten the episodes. It literally made me cry haha. I salute the director of this drama also the staffs who helped a lot in the making. I realized that Li Hong Yi matured a lot. Well, I can say this because as I watched Master Devil Don't Kiss Me, I think he was very young at that time , so yeah. I recommend for y'all to watch this C-drama. I gurantee you that you will not regret watching this. Thank you:>

I have to say that I used the fast forward button quite a lot to finish this series. The storyline is pretty weak with lots of unbelievable and boring scenes. The only saving grace of this series is Qui Yue, the most likeable character despite being the leader of the Demon Sect due to the ability of Li Hong Yi In portraying his role. He is able to express deep and complex emotions through his eyes and subtle bodily movements. I like Chun Hua at first but get a bit tired of her character towards the middle of the story. Really not impressed with this series as a whole but the acting of the ML and the chemistry between the main leads keep me going.

Li Hong Yi as Shangguan Qiu Yue is Love! ❤️We always have a soft spot for a bad boy!

*** Spoiler Alert (PERSONAL FEEDBACK)
Title : Love Better Than Immortality – 2019 (Complete 40 Episode)
Personal Rating : 8/10

Li Hong Yi as Shangguan Qiu Yue is Love! ❤️We always have a soft spot for a bad boy!

Shangguan Qiu Yue (Played Li Hong Yi) is the leader of the Demonic Sect. He is cold, ruthless, and full of scheming (the bad boy type), but he is also a lonely person with a soft spot for the woman he love and a bit clingy for me (which I like).😁
Chun Hua (Played by Zhao Lusi) is a cheerful active immortal girl from the far future who chooses to experience and feel true love than being immortal.

This drama is about a woman who lives in the far future travels to the martial world to experience true love using the Tianei Program. After waking up in a completely different world and having been told that her true love will be the first person she sees when she first opens her eyes in this new world, Chun Hua believes that Xiao Bai is her destiny. She also falls into a complicated romance with two vastly different guys. Shangguan Qiu Yue from the Demonic Sect and Xiao Bai from the Feng Ming Manor who claims to uphold the righteous side. (They are sworn enemies)

Chun Hua believing than Xiao Bai is her true love always try to be him to fulfill her dreams. She always tries to have a “couple thingy/couple scenes” with him. On the other hand, there is Shangguan Qiu Yue who initially used her to get something from Feng Ming Manor, lied to her proclaiming that he is her brother and slowly falling in love with her.

Shangguan Qiu Yue did everything for Chun Hua. From always being with her and protecting her to saving her life which Xiao Bai couldn’t do. Shangguan Qiu Yue is the bad boy type and has done a lot of evil deeds so Chun Hua is having a hard time believing and trusting him but when she starts falling for him, she can’t leave him anymore.

Overall, this time travel drama is good despite having a low budget. You can see from the make-up and all. The storyline is not that great, but the romance scenes are the best. There are lots of kissing and flirting scenes. Li Hong Yi and Zhao Lusi chemistry is good too. Honestly, I watched this because of Zhao Lusi but Li Hong Yi stole the show here and I am not even complaining. Hahaha!!!

Shangguan Qiu Yue is so beautiful and captivating. For me, it is a happy ending since they are together till the end.

P.S – I really love guys with white hair. Try to watch they’re behind the scenes it’s all cute and funny. Hahaha.

GENRE – Wuxia, fantasy, Costume, Romantic, Comedy,

LEAD CAST – Zhao Lusi , Li Hong Yi

A nice wuxia drama without the usual tragical ending


With long dramas, I usually get bored and skip a few episodes, but with this one, it wasn't the case.
Even though the storyline isn't that amusing, it somehow kept me intrigued and didn't make me want to skip some parts of episodes.

Story:
Is a pretty simple multiverse (?) travel drama, with an antihero as ML.
I would've liked it better if they somehow intertwined her original timeline with the one she was in.
They didn't explain much about the machine or the "time travel" thing or her time and I was expecting more about it. The only premise we have is the one that is in the synopsis, which they reveal in the first episode, nothing more. But I guess is because they just wanted to focus on her journey to learning what true love is. It's interesting how her character develops from her idealization of "love" and "the one" to reality and why it's better than immortality. Like this, they just made justice to the title of the drama. It actually makes sense and is a bit profound.

Acting:
The acting was amazing. I must agree with most of the people here that Qiuyue stole the show. I knew about him through this show and I must say he is so freaking talented. Plus breathtakingly handsome, which made me want to keep watching him. Hahah!

About Lusi, this was also the first drama I watched of her and I loved her. Can't wait to see more of her dramas.

Ending:
It was a happy-okay ending. It could've been better, but according to the story, it was okay. It's not like those ones where you feel you wasted your time watching the drama.

Overall:
If you want to enjoy the world of wuxia without the tragic ending, this is your cup of tea.
Somehow light hearted romance with your typical antihero that wouldn't help but loving.
But if you're here because of the "time travel" thing, welp, go look for another one cause this is ain't it.

Peak main couple chemistry, but not much else

Interesting premise that was never brought up again after the first episode. That said, this is an okay drama that you only really watch for the main leads’ acting and chemistry. The 7 stars is generous and it’s mainly for them, tbh I wouldn’t have watched this at all if I wasn’t already in love with Zhao Lusi. The writing is so ridiculous that it’s hilarious how cringe the dialogues are, you don’t even get annoyed atp you just find yourself cackling with laughter.

Despite the low budget, makeup mistakes and some other minor flaws, this drama is wonderful. I especially like the chemistry between the lead actress and the actor ... it seems so real, like love in a real life. The story is common, thus a travel story about a girl who wants to find true and unforgettable love and her Mr. Right with whom she will spend her life. It would have been one of many similar stories had it not been for their amazing chemistry. Given that he is the lead actor and singer, who often sings the opening or closing song in his dramas, so it is here. He has a nice voice and I like him, but that’s not my type of music. Everything together is well composed, only the end could be worked out in a little more detail, unless they plan to record another season. I really like it anyway. And that’s why they have my highest grade.

Read synopsis of drama before starting watching drama because starting of drama didn't synchronized well , full story revolve around longevity and searching of killer who killed medical sage which I found little boring but the love story between Qui ye and little china well portrait which balanced the whole drama ,first time I didn't felt bad to see love triangle because third character didn't bring the emotions as well as expression well. In whole drama I love watching Que ye (male lead character) his expression ,when he smile ,his eyes even says a lot ,so much stability in his expression that all the time connect me so well with the character though he did bad a lot in his past that's why little chua is upset and that part is justified but when he fall in love he listen everything what she told to him ,he respect the love and his commitment towards her ....He totally devoted towards his love for her ... He did amazing acting ,superb ..Rest I like Qin Liu Feng acting also though he is in supporting role but he did great acting. Rest I want to see their marriage too and having two children which they always spoke about..But one thing I didn't get it that when she got her true love then why she not come back to her world.

Chemistry between the leads made me a super fan of this drama. Got a litte bit depress after i finished it and so ive rewatch it after just a day. I've even watch a lot of their BTS cause i cant have enough. Hong yi is so charismatic and lusi is so bubly. Hong yi's feelings for lusi melt my heart and even though he is the bad guy i cant be mad of him. And for lu si i love her acting and she is perfect pair for hong yi on this drama. I write this review to encourage everybody to watch it! It may be your typical romance drama but this is different.
And for the 2nd male lead i hope they get someone better. Didn't had any second male lead syndrome beacause he doesn't appeal to me...
