Going on my all-time faves list
I absolutely adored this drama. I started watching after several friends watched and enjoyed. Thankfully it was finished airing because I flew through all 36 episodes in less than a week. It would have been even faster if I didn't have to work. It was a wonderful mix of humor, epic romance, historical fantasy elements and heartbreak. I won't spoil how the ending but if you're worried about it ending tragically, don't worry. If I hadn't known that little tidbit, the last few episodes would have broken me. They still did to an extent, but they were so beautiful too and so well acted by Dylan Wang and Esther Yu. I'm going to re-watch it at a slower pace so I can savor it. This drama has cemented its place on my all-time favorites list.Was this review helpful to you?
DRAMA OF THE YEAR
I just can't put into words how amazing this drama is, but all I can say is watch this drama and you'll know what i mean. From the beginning till the end of the story, I was never bored at all and always excited, because every episode was full of overflowing chemistry between actors, and that will make you love this drama.Every week, not only waiting for new episodes, but also waiting for new behind the scenes. In this drama, for the very first time, I found sweet yet strong FL. The fact that her opinion matters to ML, and the healthiest relationship in a xianxia drama so far, will make you love this drama even more. Their costumes are just beautiful and unique, especially the moon tribe. I just fell in love with their costumes. The CGI of this drama is on another level. Honestly, at first, I didn't expect so much CGI from this drama, but when I watched the drama, it was beyond my expectations.LOVE CHEMISTRY BETWEEN DYLAN WANG AND ESTHER YU:)

Dongfang QingCang and Orchid
It's so good and worth it to rewatch. Maybe people will hate bubbly voice of Esther Yu, but I like it. Her acting is so good. I don't think that combination between Esther and Dylan will be so good and perfectly match. I can't get enough for 36 eps cause I wanna see Orchid and Dongfang Qingcang married and have children. The music is so good too. We can feel the message even though we don't know chinese.The story is about love. Love is about time. You have to be sincere with everything that you had before that "thing" is gone. Dylan is succesfully portrait himself as Dongfang Qingcang. He always get role dominated male lead, but in this drama you'll see another version of him. This drama will make you have high standard on him or another Xinxia story.

Best Visual Effect this year for Xian Xia Drama
Randomly pick this drama and my first impression from the poster is : oh another Xian Xia Idol drama because it’s only have 36 episodes and have lesser high profile casts. But uh oh… when I watched the first 3 episodes, I’ve changed my mind! It really took me by surprise ! Everything about this drama was so epic : the cinematography, special effect, prop, backsound and what impressed me the most is Dylan Wang’s acting skill! The scenes when he had to swap body with Orchid was very convincing, from his gesture, mimic and reaction it was beyond my expectation. Whether as a Demon King or Orchid in a male body, he really nailed his role and blend well with his characters. All the emotions were perfectly portrayed, from cold and domineering Demon Lord to Timid and cute Orchid. And his dubber voice was perfect, l doubt it will have the same effect if he use his own voice for this drama, his voice is a little bit childish for me lol not suitable for the mighty Demon King. But…. he is slaying hot with his black costume and that magnificent head piece of him. I wonder how many female fans drooling over him now LOL. And for Esther Yu her voice was perfectly fit for her character, cute and bubbly with her pouting mouth LOLAs a xianxia drama lover, what i enjoy the most from this drama is its visual effects and artistic background design. The money really well spent In this aspect, for me it’s useless if you have an A List actor/actress in a drama but the visual effect look cheap. Ofcourse the acting is the key point too, but it will drag a drama down if the visual is bad. The world building in this drama was portrayed so beautiful and mesmerizing with smooth graphics, hands up for the production team to give more attention for this. I hope this will inspire others production house to follow the same road with them.
The story itself is simple and not new for xianxia drama, all the xianxia trope were here : Cold Male Lead, Bubbly Female Lead, one of them sacrificing for others, Hidden Identity of the Female Lead, etc. But what makes it enjoyable to watch is this drama doesn’t have unnecessary filler scenes, except for the twin sister revelation. It feel too rushed and have no point, maybe because the actress who play Dan Yin Role has an issue and all her scenes were deleted from the drama, that’s why we feel it that way.
There is one thing that I think can make this drama more epic : the war scene at the end of the drama, it feels like an anti klimaks for me, it just too low key and quite. Maybe if this drama have more episodes the ending wont feel a little bit rushed. But overall this is a MUST watch drama for Xianxia lover, you will get hooked from the first episodes and get fascinating by it’s visual aspect

Love is the Panacea.
Love between Fairy and Devil is a really beautiful package full of charms. This drama is highly entertaining. Every episode is fast-paced. Overall, this drama has its own charisma, and a strong, undeniable charm. This drama definitely deserves international recognition.Yet, the title is a bit misleading. The main male lead is devilish and truly evil only in the first 2 or 3 episodes. After that he transitions to a mild borderline anti- hero for just another twelve episodes, and from episode 16 onwards, the moon supreme ( main male lead) starts to soften up into a gentler version of his former self with occasional spells of bad temper & deception. This is so different from the portrayal of the devilish, anti-hero demon king in the original story, Cang Lan Jue.
The demon king in the novel is completely invincible, and almost invulnerable, and acts, thinks like a proper anti-hero at appropriate moments, most of the time uptill the middle & final sections of the novel. In the novel, the existence of the demon king's powers isn't dependent on some other factors such as removal of emotions. Those powers are always there whether or not he gets emotions. But, when the demon king gets back his heart, his appearance & powers improve for the better( which kind of gives a good feel while reading this part in the novel).
So, as a fan of the novel, watching the main lead portrayed this way with his set of emotional problems & weaknesses, and introduction of a second male lead in the drama version of the story was a bit disappointing. In addition, some adventurous episodes narrated in the novel got omitted. All these modifications kind of took away the beauty of the original story. This aside, little Orchid is more astute & less naive, at times, than she is in the novel. Her love for the male lead is less unconditional than in the novel. So, because of this, I felt the "opposites attract" theme kind of got toned down or diluted a lot in the drama version of the story. Overall, the plotline in the beginning had more potential which could've been fully realized in episodes, 35 & 36.
Despite all this, the drama version of the story is really addictive & gives the viewer feel-good thrills.
Later, as the plot progresses, just felt bad for the tragic character Ronghao and his love story with Chi Di Nu Zi, former goddess of war, but the love story of this master and disciple is ten times better than their love story in the original story, Can Lan Jue. I'm really glad this drama production team gave Ronghao character room for redemption. I just wish the script writers gave Ronghao & Chi Di a happy ending of their own somehow. But still glad to see the small villian making the right choice in the end after being tempted by the big villian. Now that's called character!
I also don't understand why the hypocrite, too strict & rigid heavenly emperor , Lord Yunzhong character was designed & written in a way as to be spared punishment in the story of this drama.
This drama presents a happy ending. The only problem is that the happy moments lasts only for a few fleeting seconds or a minute or two.
It left me wanting more of those happy ending -moments between the main leads. Perhaps a scene could've have also been included towards the end in the drama where goddess Xi Yun shows her little orchid side of her personality towards Dongfang & her friends, and Dongfang returning as Moon supreme with goddess Xi Yun as his moon queen & wife to take over the reigns from his brother, Xunfeng to rule his realm, Canglang Sea.
So I need a short second season. The two epilogue-like episodes are really cute and really sweet, but most of the scenes were already shown in the previous episodes. There was nothing really new, nothing really additional shown in the epilogues. So, the epilogues gave a feel-good vibe, but those were a bit disappointing at the same time.
Watching this drama is truly a charming, magical experience. The way the plot unfolded in the first 32 episodes is absolutely smooth, perfect! Episode 26 is worth a thousand times of remembrance & reminiscence. There is almost an epiphany moment for both the main leads in episode 26 which will shape the nature and tone of story ending --- whether it's to be happy or sad or bittersweet --- from then on.
The only problem is there are a number of events in the last four episodes, especially in episodes 33, 34 & 35 that can put a dampener on a viewer's heightened high expectations & emotions.
Yet, there were lot of epic moments --- of both sweet and serious tone in episode 35 & 36. The visual effects in episode 36 for the battle scene were amazing! And so were the visual effects for the tense atmosphere build-up for the battle preparation scenes in episode 31. The death scene( in episode 31) & resurrection or revival scene of the female lead ( in episode 33) is epic & the visual & special effects used to portray these scenes & the mood of those scenes are epic!
The voice actor who dubbed the voice of main male lead did an extremely amazing job! His voice fits the persona of moon supreme completely!
As for the cast, and regarding choice of the actor who plays the main male lead, personally, I would have preferred some other actor who looks more like a demon king or moon supreme lord to portray the role of the moon supreme lord --- someone who can bring out the cold, demonic , devilish aura & fierce vibe with not just breathtaking lethally handsome looks but also the right body build. Dylan wang has good looks, and all those fierce expressions, fierce eyes apt for the role of moon supreme, but the actor's body build didn't match that of the description of the body build of the demon king in the novel.
However, as I watched episode after episode of this drama, it made me realize how good the acting skills are of the actor who portrays the main male lead in this drama. Dylan Wang's acting skills are excellent in this drama. The main lead actor successfully displayed all subtle emotions on his face especially in episode 18 & in episode 36( when he confronts evil god, Taisui). Also started to notice how naturally fierce his eyes & expressions are --- so apt for the moon supreme role. And I also noticed how handsome Dylan Wang looked in certain costumes in certain episodes. The actor looked really convincing as the sexy, powerful, cold, devilish moon supreme in episode 19! I was taken aback by my own admiration.
There was just one particular black costume worn by moon supreme in the initial episodes & finale episode, the cloak part of which looked a bit funny & made the main male lead actor look thinner and more like a woman.
Had that particular costume & suitable matching hairstyle for that been carefully designed, Dylan Wang would've have looked more convincing as moon supreme and especially more devilishly handsome in every episode!
Yet, I felt the main male lead actor, Dylan Wang really looked quite hot when he made his appearance as evil Tai Sui with silvery white floating hair, emanating a cold, killing, devilish aura, wearing a plain, loose, black costume. I really loved that costume & that cold, devilish aura/vibe very much. I would've preferred to see the main lead actor sport that look throughout the drama.
Another thing that I love about this xianxia drama is its conscious, persistent focus on the theme of love. I really, really liked that kind of focus on the love theme --- how love makes everyone subconsciously change into the best or a better version of themselves. This is an important moral in the drama repeatedly reinforced through the final actions & choices made by both anti-heroes, and heroes, and heroines in this drama. This reminded me of the classic Beauty and Beast western fairy tale. But this drama is an oriental fantasy version of the Beauty & the Beast classic fairytale, and viewers will find it equally good or thousand times better in terms of overall plot.
In addition, the dialogues are all deep, poetic, lofty. A few examples:
i) "Everything in this world is fated except love"
---- goddess of fate, Siming's advice to Little Orchid.
ii) " She has left traces all over my heart"
---- Dongfang Qingcang's revelation to evil god, Tai Sui.
iii) "Let alone these illusions, even if he put you in thousands of identical orchids, I will find you in an instant."
----- Dongfang Qingcang's retort to Little Orchid.
iv) " Even if you run to the end of the Memory Loss river and the edge of the world, I can still find you. "
----- Dongfang Qingcang's veiled threat to Little Orchid, but which sounds more like an epic, intense, classy love line. ☺
I also enjoyed watching the following scenes very much:
1) the appointment on the bridge scene ( I absolutely loved the way the shot was taken to show how steadfast Dongfang manages to keep his promise. The style of that particular shot of him slowly climbing up the stairs really made the surprise event more delightful to watch! On top of that, Faye's ost played in the background as bgm gave an epic vibe to the whole scene. )
2) Dongfang exhausting his primordial spirit to sustain his beautiful dream in episode 32 (The visual effects & the whole sequence of shots had me mesmerized , spellbound)
3) the beautiful, fabricated dream of moon supreme Dongfang in episode 32 (The Other side/Across the Shore ost sung by Jing Long & Jing Di in the backdrop as bgm had me hypnotised).
4) a number of intense, steamy, domineering kiss scenes (episode 13), and a number of epic, soulful, glamorous kiss scenes in episodes 35 & episode 36.
So I shall be rewatching the whole drama especially episodes 1-32, ( and one particular glamorous kiss scene in episode 35 & and all kinds of epic emotional as well as epic battle scenes in episodes, 31, episode 36) when it releases on Netflix .
However, because I'm a fan of the original story, the novel, Cang Lan Jue, I would like to see someone make a beautiful xianxia drama which closely follows the original plot in the novel, Cang Lan Jue without any alterations to the story (and with a different cast this time). If that happens, I would find that drama more satisfactory to watch.
Come to think of it, it would have been more satisfactory to me if this drama had a mix of all the best parts of the original story, Cang Lan Jue, and all the best parts of this drama version of the story too.
Finally, this drama has an influence of diverse cultures --- everything from its West Asian & western style props, costumes, styling, music, special & visual effects right down to bgms.
The different kinds of background music (bgm) are truly worth listening to especially the ones played in the backdrop of epic scenes seem to have a combination of South Asian, West Asian, Western influence & worth listening to.
There should be a separate compilation of bgms of this drama on YouTube for bgm lovers because the bgms are so good!
And four of the osts:
1) The Other Side/Across the Shore by Jing Long, Jing Di
2) Faye's Farewell Love
3) Esther Yu's Amnesia
4) Looking for You by Liu Yu Ning.
are worth listening to. It gives an absolute pleasure!
In addition, I absolutely enjoyed reading & understanding the meaning of the lyrics of the ost, "Looking for You" by Liu Yu Ning.

torn between tears and wtf moments lol
I’m torn - I both hate it and love it.This drama had me crying one moment and laughing out loud at how ridiculous it was the next. They really just kept making shit up as they went along. The highlight for me was how it could make me sob because the love story was so beautiful, and then immediately make me laugh in disbelief at how ridiculous things got. I was literally in tears while also saying, “WTF is happening?” It’s stupid, but at the same time, I was completely in my feels. Some of the lines were devastatingly painful in the best way. But at the same time, I couldn’t believe some of the plot choices.
The visuals and the romance are definitely the strongest parts of this drama. The OST is iconic too. Honestly, my 16-year-old self would have eaten this up without question. Even now, I could see myself rewatching it purely for the love story, because at the end of the day, I’m a sucker for a good romance. But I can’t ignore the many faults.
One big issue for me was the way they handled “good” vs. “evil.” It felt childish and cliché - the fairies in white/light colours, the moon tribe people in dark colours as if they were automatically the villains. My biggest problem, though, is the female lead. I just couldn’t stand her. After about 20 episodes, I got somewhat used to her, but the overly “pure, innocent” character type isn’t for me. It lacks dimension. Add to that the childish voice and behaviour, and I was constantly frustrated. The side characters didn’t impress me either.
Another note: I really disliked the drama until around episode 10. It only started to hook me at episode 11, and the best stretch is probably between episodes 20–30.
In conclusion, I don’t think this was a great drama overall, but the romance is strong enough to overshadow its faults. I understand the high rating - people love a good love story, and so do I.

When love is strong enough, it can even cause fate to change its course
This quote by PC Cast definitely encapsulates the story of Love Between Fairy and Devil.Overall the drama is well pace, have great chemistry, and gave us what we always wanted — happy ending for our Little Orchid and Dongfang Qingcang. This also has the best performance for Esther Yu and Dylan Wang, both of which have been accused of Over the top (Esther), and Wooden acting (Dylan). *lol* Xiao Lanhua’s nickname for Dongfang Qingcang is so fitting. LMAO
|Great chemistry and believable romantic development|
Recent dramas usually use the shortcut of love at first sight to establish the plot which is very unrealistic. I liked how LBFAD started Little Orchid and Dongfang Qingcang as reluctant partners with their prejudices, to friends, and eventually to lovers. But from the start, you can already feel the palpable chemistry between the FL and ML because of Esther Yu’s and Dylan Wang’s chemistry. This palpable chemistry is also the reason why we are eager to follow the story of the OTP because we can’t wait for them to be together. It’s also nice that the drama also showed that both the ML and FL both don’t know Love at the beginning — the FL confused gratefulness with love, and the ML removed love from his heart. In most dramas, it’s usually the FL teaching the ML to love but in LBFAD I think Little Orchid and Dongfang Qungcang taught each other to love.
|Well paced plot and no unnecessary court dramas|
Most xianxia are bogged down by unnecessary drama between the deities and never ending reincarnation plot from heavenly realm to mortal realm and back again. What I liked about LBFAD is that they limited the drama to scenes that are actually relevant to the development of FL and ML character and story arc. Their advantage was that they also retained their bodies/memories so they’re not pushed around in the mortal realm because of the limits of mortal bodies. Also we must give the team props for limiting themselves to 36 episodes, because D*ang those other xianxia’s have 40-60 episodes and they can’t even retain our interests in all the episodes.
|Great side characters that actually make the OTP shine|
Other Xianxia’s have so many top billed actors/actresses that they have so many “main characters” that you tend to loose track of who is who and what is happening. LBFAD, even though it’s a Xianxia, knew who the star of the drama is — Little Orchid and Dongfang Qingcang — so they gave just the right amount of characterization to characters that actually affect the story of the 2. I also liked that they gave an arc for Jieli and Shangque but it’s not so complicated that it takes time away from the OTP. I’m a bit torn if I like the arc for Rong Hao and Chidi woman but I guess it is still relevant to make the story move forward.
|DISTINCT key locations unique to LBFAD, beautiful cinematography, costume, and production design|
I only saw an episode of the LBFAD animation, and I can say that the drama did a great job in recreating the world of Heavenly Realm, Cangyan Sea, and Yunmeng Lake. Most xianxia’s maximize the use of Hengdian studio sets so they usually have similar looks/locations. For LBFAD, I like that they gave us the unique Artbiter Hall, they have special “court” and look for the heavenly realm, and the Moon Tribe realm also looks unique. The costumes are lovely and the accessories of the heavenly realm make them more ethereal and the moon tribe more exotic. I’m not sure if it’s because it’s on iQiyi, but I love the color palette they used which is mostly iridescent pastels in the heavenly realm and rich hues in Cangyan sea.
In the end, I think LBFAD is a one of the best xianxia of recent years in terms of chemistry, plot, visuals, and OST. Will I rewatch it as much a my other top dramas (7x for The Eternal Love 1/2/3 or 3x for Love Better Than Immortality) maybe but maybe not as much.

It got me exccited and had subscribed for the first time in iqiyi to watch it.
I had never review any drama i watched before so
I want to recommend it to everyone, you will enjoy and will not get bored on LBFAD. Overall I still rate it as 10/10. I love the Esther and Dylan on how they portrayed their characters.
I have followed and watched their drama but I have never felt this way, I can't explain my emotions and waited every day for the release of the next episodes.
Hands down to all the casts, directors and all the people behind LBFAD.
The OST are very heartwarming and sound so good.
Still hoping that there will be an episode to showcase more their happy ending.

What mash up
I had lot of expectation but its enjoyable not some thing extraordinarystory of innocent and kind girl falling in love with a KIng/ZGod?powerful man is old now we have seen in many dramas before.
A female power is hiddent damage is also old nothing new there
ok first let me tell u what I liked here Acting and personality of two main leads they carried the whole drama on their shoulder through out . Impressed with both. Costumes and set were good .
problem was narrative it goes well but midway didnt know what was happening
How come ny one can come and go in Moon kingdom Jiali comes and go to Haishi and no one cares
Some of the girls are so thin that i was really worried if they can fight
Cheng hang acting was better when he is in mortal realm, his costume as God of war looks like plastic tubes
I didnt understand why Chidi was revived when she dies within two episodes of her revival and who was God of war after she was revived
So many things were left answer I m giving it 8 just for Dylan and Esther . Good point it was only 36 episodes and after 25 I have been watching it at a faster speed

Really took me by surprise.
In the first couple episodes I was kinda eh about this drama. It seemed to just be one of those easy going types with not too much going on. But wow this drama surprised me. It’s the first time I’ve seen the actress and she’s perfect for the role as well as her real voice. I really was not expecting myself to enjoy it as much as I did. Overall new dramas this year have been eh a bit of a disappointment to me. But this one def turned it around.Excellent character dev as well. I remember Dylan Wang in miss the dragon. You can def see his growth in this and how well he is able to act. I think he got roasted pretty bad for miss the dragon too. Just great chemistry

Huge flare, not much substance
Behind heavily overused CGI there is not much going on. Plot and angles are incredibly obvious, and super simplistic. Pace is so slow I fell asleep 3 different times while watching. If you look closely at the production you'll see they didn't have to invest much in sets, or extras. Not much of fighting or any kind of choreography. Costumes are bland. I'm at the 6 episode and I think everyone forgot this incredibly powerful criminal has escaped. They all just loll about aimlessly.Mean girl trope broke me. If you didn't like the beginning, trust your instincts.

This drama revived my emotional root.
Thank you Drama Deities for this Masterpiece!Have been watching drama and anime since the 90s and have never left a review, but I want to put a lot of love out in the world for this amazing show.
Is it absolutely perfect? Nothing is,
(not even Goblin) but hot damn, did the stars still align for this one!
Insane chemistry between the leads, solid and compelling writing (oh, how we’ve missed you), gorgeous cinematography and a beautiful performance by Dylan Wang that can only be described as inspired by the muses.
Have never finished any of Dylan’s dramas before and Holy Heck his portrayal of Dongfang Qincang has got me wondering where he was keeping all of THAT. His “micro-expressions” (ugh, buzzword, but had to) and body language are masterful and nearly every shot of him is a work of art. I kept on pausing and rewinding just to marvel at his beauty. It’s hard to play emotionless characters without coming off as wooden, and Didi succeeds here where so many have failed.
It begs to be said that DFQC is an amazing character. Smart, powerful, straightforward and unshakeable in everything he puts his mind and heart to, he’s a demon who gets things done. He’s so expertly layered that we quickly find there’s more to him than an evil guy who just wants to kill everyone for no particular reason. And when he falls in love? Good God. Tell me when you’ve watched THAT SCENE.
Have never heard of Esther Yu before this, and like many others I was bothered by her voice and cutesy acting in the first episode, but thankfully I was tided over by Changheng long enough for her to grow on me.
Again, cute and naive characters like Orchid are hard to play or get right in writing, but Esther and the drama somehow nail it (after ep 1 for me, heh). She’s also got the layers going on—not just a dumb, crybaby female MC but a positive girl with a big heart that has the capacity to love everyone and treat others with kindness. Orchid in love is a force to behold, so unlike most female MCs who run away at the first hint of a challenge. I think she revived many jaded viewers’ emotional roots when she displayed an internal tenacity and steadfastness that a lot of female MCs sorely lack. Please tell me what you think when you get to THAT PART. The chills.
And don’t get me started on the kiss scenes. So sweet and natural, never lusty (nothing wrong with lusty, but well executed “pure love” kisses are hard to come across in dramaland). And the way DFQC looks at her! I know it’s called acting, but calling all Dylan Wang experts: is he like that in all his other dramas and BTS?
The story itself is simple but effective. I usually wait for dramas to end so I can binge but I couldn’t do it with this one. I just needed to see all the episodes that were out there, and while I was waiting for the new ones I rewatched from the start. I couldn’t even watch other dramas to pass the time. It just keeps getting better.
The soundtrack further elevates the drama
with some epic orchestral BGM pieces and surprising rock moments that breathe fresh life into the tried and true ballad-paloozas.
Costumes were fantastic, especially everything the Moon Supreme (lol does his title remind you of pizza) wears. I can see why the headgear and armour were criticised, but you can also see where the designers were going with it, and eventually…Dylan pulls it off, lol. Sorry, Shuiyuntian gods. Moon tribe threads ftw.
Some well-executed, refreshing special effects to be enjoyed here. I won’t spoil the big ones for you but I especially enjoyed the way they teleport, and the Hellfire…!
And as with any xianxia, there will always be parts that look artificial, some awkward wire work and inescapable tropes, but none of these take away from what an amazing drama LBFAD is.
Thank you to the LBFAD team for giving us this beautiful gem!
[Still reading? Why hello, fellow fan, thank you for your time.]
HERE BE MAJOR SPOILERS!!!!
*****
*****
There are some things that I think could be better, but didn’t want to mention lest they spoil it for others:
After DFQC’s epic agony at losing Orchid, I think she could have cried and shouted more when she lost him…? Why couldn’t she follow him while he was drifting away? And is it just me or would you be shouting “I love you” repeatedly when your loved one is dissipating before your eyes? (see: Goblin)
I also couldn’t get past her Christmas tinsel Goddess scarf thing. It bounced obnoxiously while she walked.
Was also confused by IQIYI translation of Orchid’s conversation with Xunfeng about whether or not DFQC will come back. The subtitles kinda say flat out “no” (but we know he does) so I asked a native speaker to translate. Turns out Orchid doesn’t say “no”, she says “it’s hard” but that there are “miracles”. So in short, it was really a yes, she believes he’ll be back.
Finally…I wish we could have had a slightly longer ending! A more magnificent comeback for the Moon Supreme (given how he brought Orchid back) and a bit more reunion time / happy montage for our leads.
Still, I’m grateful for the happy ending and that kiss, which is infinitely better than, “Qian Qian, come here.” (See: Eternal Love)
Looking forward to seeing Dylan and Esther work together again!
