Now bacck to story, although some start episodes are funny but if u read the novel then u know how sad drama is and the people who saying shuxin voice is like childish , i am just gonna say the directors give her role because they know she can fit and all the dramas she starring all use her original vice because they know her voice is best for her roles i just say shuxin always get sweet dramas but if u know the song( amnesia ) she sang for drama then u match if the voice is sweet or not u must not .people quikly u know they work so hard to pleased the audience and when audience reply bad about her how hurt she is . The role of shuxin fit for her if u read the novel then u know how perfect she was doing . The plot of drama is perfect . Overall story is soo good and perfect .
The background, graphics,ost is so amzing that it makes people to fall for it.
I hope if someone saw this review must watch this drama .
The haters always say because their actor or actress also got bad comments so they deliberately makes bad comments for other actress or dramas.

Underwhelming Plot, Impressive ML and Annoying FL
After watching the drama, it is safe to say that it had its ups and downs. The Male Lead's acting was quite impressive, while the Female Lead's portrayal was annoying and immature throughout the majority of the drama. However, her acting did improve slightly in the last four episodes.Unfortunately, the story itself was not very interesting, and the FL was often portrayed as a fool. Despite this, the production quality was good, and the visual experience was enjoyable.
All things considered, this drama was average, with some good and bad elements. While the ML's acting was a definite highlight, the FL's portrayal could have been better, and the story itself could have been more engaging. If you are looking for a drama with good visuals and solid acting from the ML, but are not overly concerned about the plot, then this drama might be worth checking out.

It's neither a good xianxia or a good romance drama.
(Disclaimer: I have read countless xianxia novels & I like the romance genre)This is quite possibly the most overrated cdrama I have ever watched. Love Between Fairy and Devil is -unfortunately- neither a good xianxia story or an entertaining romantic comedy.
Xianxias typically have various elements that I like, for example cultivation, action scenes & a large number of bads either dying or getting some serious face slapping etc etc.
Here most of that is not really there. The character I hated the most is basically not dealt with (Heavenly Emperor? guy) at all. The strong ML is also getting constantly nerfed for really stupid reasons. The xianxia main plot is a watered down version of other stories i've seen/read before, It's really not very good, though there is very little of it overall. Had the romance been better on the account of the plot being so string thin, then I could have still enjoyed the drama..
..However the romance doesn't work very well for me at all. The whole thing makes no sense. Forbidden love is a popular topic in fiction, but it's really hard to justify it here for a number of reasons. We could talk about how Orchid is basically a baby in immortal realm terms, or how from her perspective ML is not only ancient, but also the manifestation of pure evil, also openly plotting to destroy her home, but ultimately I don't care all that much about these. The main problems are the following, the progress is super slow & jittery, there is very little excitement in their relationship and the show is lacking in comedy as well.
To add insult to injury we barely had any happy fluff content in the 36 episodes.
For example "Eternal Love - Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms" has a similarly uninteresting Xianxia plot, but oh my gawd it's like 30 times funnier & there is so much more emotional impact overall. I could only describe the romance in this drama as lukewarm.
There are more genre independent script-writing problems. For starters the whole drama feels rather boring, because the storytelling is not only excruciatingly slow, but also the presentation is too juvenile for adults to really immerse themselves. Furthermore there are a very large number of insane plotholes & contradictions. As often is the case the writer is counting on her audience forgetting the minutiae of what has happened 2-4-6-10 episodes ago. Disrespecting the audience like this is not cool! There is also the ending, if I had to rate the final 2 episodes I think I would go with 2/10. It's not the worst ending I have ever seen, but it's in the bottom 10.
To talk about some positive things too, I think the drama had superb visuals in this genre. Also the acting is wonderful. It's annoying how much talent & effort went into creating a grand production from a script like this, it's a tremendous waste that's what it is.
As for Esther's baby voice? Well, this is what the production team wanted & she did a great job.

A magnificent surprise that became one of my favorites
There's everything I like in a dorama. Wonderful chemistry, interesting story, well-developed and explored characters... it held me from beginning to end! There was no winding episode, they were all essential and perfect! For me, there could be many more episodes! What a fascinating story! The supreme of the moon is one of the best characters I've seen so far! It left a little warmth in the heart and also a hole for being over! I recommend this dorama to everyone!Was this review helpful to you?
A good drama
The thim of drama is goodBut everything else is average
Acting - male lead character are ok female - she need to take some supplementary acting classes
Chemistry - A typical Chinese love triangle,
Although they tried to depict Nave , cute , lovely female character they somehow ended up making dumb character for female lead.
Graphic - most of motion are in straight line,
They don't even try to hide the fact that they are using rope for flying scenes ( characters posture look like they are being drag by rope)

An Unforgettable and Moving Story with Captivating Themes of Love, Triumph, and Transformation!
This show was absolutely phenomenal, captivating me from start to finish with its stunning visuals and emotional depth. Several scenes moved me to tears, and the storyline was rich and intriguing, keeping me fully engaged throughout. The casting choices were spot on, with each actor bringing their character to life in a way that felt authentic and compelling. Dylan Wang’s performance as Dongfang Qing Cang was nothing short of phenomenal. He effortlessly portrayed the intensity and depth of his character’s journey, while Esther Yu’s portrayal of Orchid beautifully complemented the ever-evolving nature of Dongfang Qing Cang. Their chemistry on screen was magnetic, creating a dynamic that was both powerful and heartfelt.The show’s exploration of themes like self-discovery and healing was deeply resonant, setting the stage for even more complex themes such as redemption and forgiveness. Watching the male lead undergo multiple stages of transformation, each one more challenging and painful than the last, added a layer of realism and emotional weight to the narrative. The way the show symbolized pain as an essential part of the healing process was brilliantly executed, offering viewers a profound look into the intricacies of shadow work and personal growth. It was refreshing to see a story that doesn’t shy away from the hard truths associated with healing but instead embraces them in such an artistic and thoughtful manner.
Ultimately, the rebirth of Orchid and Dongfang Qing Cang was a powerful culmination of their journeys. Their transformation into a couple who emerged stronger and more united after facing numerous trials felt incredibly rewarding to witness. The show beautifully illustrated how vulnerability can become a source of strength, and the evolving relationship between Orchid and Dongfang Qing Cang highlighted the transformative power of opening up to one another. Their love story wasn’t just about romance; it was a story of growth, acceptance, and mutual healing.
This show exceeded all my expectations. The script, cast, and soundtrack came together to create a truly immersive experience that left a lasting impression on me. It has become one of my comfort shows—one that I return to again and again, simply because it’s that awesome! The emotional depth and artistry displayed make it a must-watch, and I can’t recommend it enough!

Best xianxia drama in recent years
This drama has just proved that xianxia drama can be magical when it’s perfectly done.Seeing all the efforts behind the scenes, they have put so much effort to do it right from production to visual effects to soundtracks to the script to the acting part, there is really no flaw to point out.
What I particularly love about this drama- the romance is well done although it’s cliche, and most importantly, the chemistry between the casts can also be felt both onscreen and offscreen. The logic and small details and clues in the script is also really well done. Yu Shuxin and Dylan Wang have superb chemistry even off screen and they are really shippable . Not to mention the stellar visual effects, especially with DFQC’s scenes really elevated this character’s almightiness as it should be.
There are a lot lot more good points about this drama and it’s highly recommended to watch!!

Masterpiece.
I started watching this series with not many thoughts in mind, but ended up finishing it with my eyes bawling and feeling that emptiness after finishing a good series/movie. "Love Between Fairy and Devil" is simply a great drama for whoever is a hopeless romantic. It not only changed my perspective in love, but also how Dongfang made my standards in men even higher than before. He is not a green flag, he is a GOLDEN flag. Please watch this chinese drama, you won't regret it. I promise.Was this review helpful to you?
dropped, rewatch and love it!
I started watching this show when it first came out and didn't like it after 1st episode. I didn't felt like the CGI, acting and all was the kind of xianxia I would enjoy. Anyway, i decided to give it a go again and surprisingly love it a lot! I personally think this show was Esther Yu and Dylan Wang's best work out of all their other shows.This show really grow on me the more I watch. First off, the storyline is very refreshing and new, although pretty predictable but i think the FLML will surprise you time to time! The development is great. I know a lot people might not like FL's character or her voice but trust me, it gets better. This show is considered fluffy and very straightforward to me - female lead doesn't throw useless tantrum or go on extreme hate mode after finding out "the truth", which i love. She trusts what she sees in the male lead even though he is a devil/ is evil in their world. Male lead although known as the "bad guy" is an absolute sweetie when in love. He is always there for the female lead and never allows her to get hurt. To me, their characters is one of the best I have seen in xianxia dramas. I like their relationship progression and even with the 2nd ML's involvement it was never toxic or anything. I also enjoyed 2nd ML's story/pov a lot and the show will really make u love both the male leads. The pace of this show have shown that with just 36 episodes is good enough for a xianxia drama with good development! I just wished that they could have ended with another 2/3 episodes so the ending wouldn't be so rushed :(
I am taking away 1 point from the ratings because the ending was too rushed. For people thinking if they should start watching, i highly recommend this!
BONUS: i realised there are a lot of goodlooking people in this show, it's a total eye candy! also, the soundtrack is very nice!!!

One of the best love story!
This drama truly portray classic love story and all the feelings are mutual and it especially emphasis true love do exist which is done beautifully without any cliches and cringeness. That's why many of us feel so in love with DFQC and XLH due to their pure love. Two lonely soul finally become a soulmate and they way the speak/action are from heart which is seldom can be seen in the drama nowadays. We cry, we laugh and fell in love with DFQC and XLH over and over again. Many said XLH is childish and immature but once we lost her after she is reincarnated into Goddess Xi Yun everyone is sad together with DFQC and we want to old XLH that love DFQC with all her heart.They give us peak of comedy, romance, heart break and give us hope love conquer all feeling and makes this drama is truly a gold. Definitely this drama going to be one of the classic fantasy drama love story that should be recommended through generations.

A romance that burns your entire existence
This drama is a typical XianXia. It's got everything; from romance to gods, evils, mortals, hardships, and magic.If you're a romance lover, be prepared for a battle of the hearts. But, in the end, your heart will be so full that you want more :)
The story
As my experience with other high-quality Cdrama xianxias, the plot has 3 stages:
1- The first encounter, happens between the immortals and gods. This is the base of the drama. There has a been war years ago, and the villain was captured, who happens to be the heartthrob Dongfeng Qingceng. We get to know two polar opposites with broken pasts come in contact. And, there is a love curse involved( romance lovers: this curse is the core here :)
2- The second stage happens in the mortal realm. But this time the leads are not there for hardships or examinations. They are there to really learn the meaning of their existence. This is where they truly fall in love( or at least we see it for ourselves).
3-The final stage is Sacrifice in my opinion. True lovers Sacrifice each other for their beliefs and their loved ones. Everything is wrapped up quite well and there are loose ends left, which is phenomenal.
Acting
All did well in my opinion. Even the villains are portrayed and depicted well. You can clearly feel their motives and the reasons behind their sadness or hardships.
Music
I'm a sucker for OSTs. just by reading the Song's meanings, I figured out how meticulously they chose the songs to match the atmosphere and the leads' love for each other. The background pieces used were marvelous. Hope they release an album soon can't wait!
Overall
A very pleasurable Cdrama. If you're into romance, action, wars, hatred, magic, and misunderstandings, this will keep you hooked till the end. You will be craving more each episode, as the story goes on.

Light Hearted and Funny Fantasy
There are a lot of reviews for this, this review will be another drop in the ocean. Its a light youth fantasy CDrama for Xianxia diehards.Is it mind blowing? No.
Does it have many plot holes? Yes, its Xianxia for god's sake.
Is it entertaining? Yes.
The characters for the most part are entertaining and the acting for some of the actors have improved. Dylan Wang from Meteor Garden and that other dude who was the ML in Maiden Holmes have improved from their wooden performances. Both of those shows had these actors as the ML, I couldn't finish those shows. Esther Yu's fairy character is cute but was super annoying in the beginning. BF repellant annoying, nails on the chalkboard annoying.
The enjoyable parts:
The fairy and the devil have a body swap, it was entertaining to see the performance of the gender reversal. The fairy goes from the clueless naïve fairy to the cold hearted demon and vice versa. It was good they didn't drag it out through the whole show but it was entertaining for the first few episodes. The kissing for the soul swap wasn't necessary, too gratuitous, and was sort of stupid, would have been better if that was cut out.
The mortal realm was probably the most enjoyable part of the series; the storyline is really different from Ashes of Love but for both shows; the best parts were the time they spend in the mortal realm. It was hilarious with the hijinks due to the jealously, how clueless the SML was since he had no prior recollection of his immortal past, and how things just went completely wrong at each turn.
The gradual love which blossoms between the fairy and the devil. The chemistry between the leads is pretty good. Funny banter and face palm moments. They did a pretty good job with that, none of that instalove stupidity. There were some jokes cracked on the fairy's plain appearance and how it was no match for the Demon Lord. It seems to me the Demon King's looks are pretty plain too.
If one is looking to procrastinate from studying or whatever it is, this is a good enough show for that distraction.
