Great Love Story
The story feels shallow in the beginning when the ML fell in love so easily to FL, without any in depth exploration. I think it has to do with the attachment that he grew up with red camelia since he was young, not being loved by the parents, and the strict disciplines he had to abide by. I think the story would be more solid if they explain and explore the background story better, and also tell the story why the red camelia was special compared to other floral deities surrounding the ML.The ML and FL were good-looking and their acting was good, plus beautiful soundtracks making the show enjoyable to watch. For me this is an easy watch when I can pay less attention and not have to worry about missing anything.

A beautiful and lovely Xianxia drama
My first impression about this drama is that the setting, costumes and the cast are all beautiful, which I enjoyed watching very much because I love flowers and fairy stories. My second impression is Liu Xue Yi who portrayed his character perfectly. After knowing him from Love And Redemption, I wished to see him in a role of a great God and my dream has come true. In my point of view, Liu Xue Yi is the best actor for the God role. Other actors and actresses also played their characters well. If the story was well written and the drama was not re-made, this could be a hit. My rating is mainly for the acting of the cast and their effort to remake this beautiful and lovely drama.Was this review helpful to you?
Boring
Love Never Fails is another stylized xianxia with no new ideas - a stoic ML, a childish FL, immortals - good, demons - bad, and so on. I didn't expect much from it, but in the very least, I expected to be entertained. That wasn't the case here.Hong Ning is a flower demon. Jin Xiu is an immortal who must restrain his feelings. She wants to be his queen and seeks immortality while he struggles with his growing feelings for her. It sounds like a promising start to an epic love story that will transcend time. Instead, I had to sit through episodes of immortal beings acting like two awkward teenagers running circles around each other with nothing much happening otherwise. The writers spent too much time trying to create a not-so-funny comedy, instead of writing an interesting plot with compelling characters. I really liked Liu Xue Yi in other dramas, like In Blossom, but here his character fell completely flat. FL was pretty forgettable too. I found nothing interesting about this drama to continue watching past episode 6. Pass.

POOR LIU XUE YI
I felt bad for Liu Xue Yi, a talented handsome actor has to endure partnering with a new actress Hu Yi Xuan (camellia demon Hong Ning) not just bad in acting, annoying childish voice, not to mention weird hair styles. Who did her make up and hair-styling? Very sloppy, doesn't compliment her, she appears between wild nymphs and gnomes. Long wavy frizzy hair, big flat nose, oversize red dress. When they met again, bound by love, trials and destiny....I am choking.I think the only person to take good look at is Liu Xue Yi.
His character though as a reserved immortal that kind of boring. I don't think he's looking to the FL and think 'I love this demon wholeheartedly and want to spend my immortal life with her'.....because his eyes doesn't express it. His eyes is like saying 'let's get this over soon.' I know I can't read his mind...but that's the expression I got.
Other actors are barely has acting skills...as far as I watch the drama. Wouldn't recommend this drama to anyone. Safe your valuable time for something else better...
