Excellent drama seen in recent times
Firstly,the female lead,Ji yunhe,has a very strong personality and she is a very individual, daring and confident woman.Thats what I liked much abou this drama.The storyline was good.No unnecessary plots and scenes are there.the costumes,CGI,music were good.All the actors acted very well.
Ren jialun as Chang Yi is very good.
Dilreba as Ji yunhe was excellent.
Cristy Guo as Fairy Shunde could be as disgusting as she is.
And all the others characters and actors portrayed excellentlly!
The flow and pace were good.Emotions were well crafted and also portrayed.
Season 1 ended with Chang Yi saving Ji yunhe.
Already watched season 2 also.
Overall I can say,Ji yunhe is a very inspiring woman.I really liked her.👌👍

Visualmente lindo e bem produzido.
visualmente lindo e bem produzido.Achei a história confusa de entender no início, meu personagem favorito sem dúvidas é Chang yi, ele é tão profundo e lindo seja amando ela incondicionalmente, seja achando que a odeia incondicionalmente. Algumas partes e personagens ficaram esquecidos e por se tratar de muitos personagens fica massante, acho que deveriam focar apenas no principal, e portanto entra minha curiosidade do que há por trás de toda a situação com mestre imortal e a história dele, e o que isso tem de importante para o enredo principal. Nesse caso só assistindo a parte 2.

The beginning was very boring, especially the first episode. I think it’s better to start near the end of episode one where things start getting interesting. Really liked the show also pretty sad!

Changyi is a merman who appears in the Valley, courtesy of the cruel Princess Shunde. Her Royal Highness commands Yun He to make the merman speak human words, grow human legs, and be loyal. But there is a catch! Yun He must enlist the aid of Lin Hao Qing, her adopted brother and sworn enemy. Keeping company with the merman has Yun He becoming closer to him. In time, she will have to make the fateful choice between the demon‘s freedom and her very own.
The chemistry between the lead actors is so good. They did justice to their characters. From displaying various emotions naturally. The costumes are so womderfully prepared and carried well by each cast. All the cast have done justice to their respective roles. Overall, the drama is a must watch.

Highly Misunderstood for having bad chemistry
Instead of a fully comprehensive review, this is more like a review that addresses the most common issues that viewers have with the drama and my take on them.First and foremost though, I have to give a massive shout-out to the producers and singers of TBW's OST. This is objectively one of the most well-balanced OSTs released so far this year across Kdramas, J-Dramas, Thai, and C-dramas. Not only are the songs wonderful to listen to, but they also perfectly suit the theme and story of the drama, and all have that fantastical feel to them, which just enhances the fantasy aspect of the production. Kudos!!
Next, I want to address the production/budget/CGI. I must say that this drama has the best NINE-TAILED FOX animation that I have ever seen. Furthermore, given the looks of the costumes and original sets, this is clearly a high-budget production. My personal favorite CGI moments were the mermaid tail for Chang Yi, the nine tails for Yunhe, and the prison in which Ji Yunhe was imprisoned. There were some tiny parts of questionable CGI in a couple of episodes, but they were pretty forgettable considering the fact that I can't even pinpoint the episodes that had the aforementioned slightly poor editing/CGI.
Now for the concerns: One of the major complaints I have seen so far is that the two main leads have no chemistry. I completely agree to a certain extent. At the beginning of the drama, for the first 11 episodes or so, the two leads have no chemistry. However, it is important to keep in mind that this is because Ji Yunhe doesn't love Chang Yi as deeply yet. She is tricking him and a lot of her affection for him at that point is still a misguided sense of guilt. Unfortunately, our boy Chang Yi had already fallen deep for her by episode 4. It is clear as day that he likes her but she doesn't like him. Now imagine feigning chemistry with someone you dislike and have imprisoned? I, personally, would have no chemistry whatsoever. At this point, the show was a 6/10 for me. But as soon as YunHe was imprisoned, and Chang Yi had his personal growth arc, it was clear as day that they loved each other. This is when I realized why the main couple had no chemistry yet. It's because their love story lacked a very important thing: ANGST. However, as soon as the angst was introduced, this drama instantly jumped to an 8/10 for me. I enjoyed the arc where they pinned after each other but couldn't admit it. Ji Yunhe was being eaten away by guilt and her feeling of betrayal for pushing Chang Yi off the cliff. And Chang Yi too was heartbroken but hated the fact that he still loved her despite her "betrayal". NOW, THIS IS WHAT I LIKE TO SEE HAHAHA. THE ANGST WAS GOOD. Though I do have to say it was slightly dragged out, but this is how the novel goes so can't help it. From episode 21 of season 1 to the end of the show in season 2 though, the chemistry is there. Especially when he gives her the Merman mark. This is show is slow burn not in the sense of how long it took the leads to fall in love madly, but in how long and arduous it is for them to get together given their star-crossed lovers status.
The next concern is how people argue that Lin Haoqing better suited Ji Yunhe. I have to disagree here. I am someone who frequently suffers from Second Lead Syndrome, but this time I wanted Lin Haoqing to intentionally not get the girl. I say this because while people argue that he did everything to keep her safe and protect her, the way he treated her still didn't sit well with me. You don't treat loved ones like that. Chang Yi loved Yunhe enough to cut his tail off for her, but LHQ didn't love YunHe enough to respect the fact that she wanted Chang Yi to keep his tail. LHQ manipulated the then innocently in love CY to cut off his tail despite Yunhe telling LHQ to stay away from CY. If I loved someone, the first thing I would do for them is learning to respect their wills and wishes, and not do as I pleased.
Lastly, people complain about Ren JiaLun's lack of character but that is also coming from a grossly misunderstood root. I have never watched him before, but he did Chang Yi justice. However, you couldn't really see the depth of his character until he was pushed off the cliff. This is important because it added another dimension to his character. Now he could not only love but also lie if need be. The last 10 episodes of season 2 perfectly highlight CY's development throughout the season. Heck, his character develops until the very last episode. He learns to trust Yunhe again and he lets her go. In fact, he entraps her in the volcano himself because she tells him that she will come to find him when the time is right and the demon dies. He accepts it, and that for me was a testament to how far his character had come.
So in conclusion, TBW is a drama that has a huge payoff, only if you have the patience to let its slow-burnesque trials and tribulations play out. It is a beautiful drama and I thoroughly enjoyed it. In fact, my enjoyment was deeply enhanced by the fact that the OST fucking played at the perfect time every time. Chef's Kiss for sure!!

Luxurious Cinematography, CGI, and Costumes---Screenplay Sold Separately.
First and foremost, I'd like to thank the fan subbers for doing this entire part for us. Without them, we'd still be waiting. They made it possible. I will be reviewing the parts separately as I don't want one to influence the other. I watched this series because Dilraba is one of the people I follow.Pros: The only reason this drama is getting a higher score is because of the absolutely stunning cinematography, CGI, luxurious and richly colored costumes, and some of the OSTs. Production spared no expense there. The last time I saw a production even closely resemble this one was ELOD which also starred Dilraba. But this one clearly went full steam with the richness of each location and their gorgeous and bright colors.
While I liked Yunhe and her complexity as a character; I felt she had way more chemistry with Lin junior as I nicknamed him; the one she called older brother. His love and protection of her though falling short many times, was raw and real. I liked him more after I learned his secret and how much he wanted to save those who he cared about most including the entire Wanhua Valley. The man, whether he succeeds or fails in part 2 is already a hero in my book.
Other decent characters were Kong Ming for steadfastly standing on Chang Yi's side and helping him along the way. Head Immortal is a good antagonist and he's evil enough where while you can't stand him, you also understand he's a necessary evil. Can't say I liked old man wheelchair though he didn't need a wheelchair, but when he died and Lin junior was grieving; that was one of the few times in part 1 that tears came to my eyes. The man was a horrible ruler, father, etc and yet....there was always that yet. So a decent character.
Mediocre characters that were confusing and I'm not sure where to place them yet were the peacock that was released from underground, Li Shu, and San Yue; perhaps in part 2 they'll do better. So I'll leave them alone for now. Also immortal bodyguard Cheng Ye and the kid emperor were decent and I hope to see them evolve more as well.
Cons: When I wrote screenplay sold separately, I wasn't kidding. It was a mess. A zillion characters whose names you don't remember nor want to. Every single relationship between every couple was essentially sadomasochistic. Lies, betrayal, secrets kept, scheming to either harm or protect which 9 times out of 10 backfired. I didn't know if I was coming or going. The character Chang Yi didn't offer much; it was disappointing. I didn't feel his chemistry with Yunhe was beyond friendship that was clumped together haphazardly out of thin air. He always looked either constipated or stoned; I hope part 2 shows something more from him.
The annoying butterfly maid drove me batty. In the first 5 episodes, she had more lines and screen time then the leads. And she would yammer nonstop. I legit ffw when she would start. Also the other big bad was Shunde? Really? All she did was throw her weight around and whine. Yes, she's vicious and ruthless but I couldn't take her seriously as a proper villain when she acted like a drama queen and diva 99% of the time. Gorgeous costumes on her but her character was just roll-your-eyes worthy at best.
I don't remember any of the others because they were really that forgettable. It wasn't just one plot with maybe 2 subplots but about 76 of them all running amok where I legit felt like I was in the twilight zone. What the heck were these writers thinking? Just focus on a few things maybe from a few angles but don't confuse the audience with a zillion failed love stories and doomsday scenarios. The best way to describe it was a luxurious mess.
Would I recommend it? If you're a diehard Reba fan, then of course as she embodies Yunhe well and the cinematography is beyond stunning. But in general this is for people who like busy plots with lots of different characters all going in some direction from center. In any case, decide for yourselves.

Two heart throb as leads and an intriguing story to match
With two heart throb, Dilraba and Ren Jia Lun as lead acts, you can imagine how awaited this drama was. Not all dramas which employed high profile actors/actresses were necessarily well produced but this drama lives up to expectations. I had only completed Part 1 and am eagerly waiting for Part 2 to be released.Ji Yun He (Dilraba) was a powerful fairy living in the Floral Valley. Her job was to capture delinquent demigods and her biggest strength was the ability to win over the hearts of her captive delinquent demigods.
She and her rival adoptive brother Lin HaoQing were assigned to make a captured merman ChangYi (Ren Jia Lun) speak human words, discard his tail and grow legs, and hand over his ‘mer-pearl’ to demonstrate his loyalty by the cruel Prince Shunde. Shunde was sister to the Heaven Lord and disciple to a powerful wicked Deity who spoiled her for a hidden reason.
YunHe was often tortured by the master of Floral Valley and was told she was to rival her brother to toughen him up. She had been poisoned and controlled by the frost poison which caused a person to go through deep freezing when the antidote wore out. Although appearing to be her arch rival, HaoQing had actually fallen in love with her. While attempting to convert ChangYi, YunHe and ChangYi fell in love. YunHe was determined to help ChangYi and herself to gain their freedom.
Eventually they discovered who was really behind the frost poison and more mysteries unravelled. ChangYi turned from loving YunHe to hating her, partly due to HaoQing and largely due to YunHe keeping the truth from him. Would this couple have a future and would they be able to combat the evil forces lurking in the dark? You can watch the drama to figure out the rest as I do not want to release further spoilers.
What I like about this drama?
- The leads led me to watch this drama and they had excellent on-screen chemistry.
- An interesting story with a lot of twists and turns.
- The supporting cast was also very good. China has a lot of acting talents. As the second couple in the story, the cat deity courtship of his love one was very funny.
- Lovely back drop, beautiful scenery and cinematography.
- Special effects and gracefully fighting scenes.
- Beautiful costumes and interesting make-ups.
Chinese dramas typically do very well with the above.
What I do not like about this drama?
There is very little I do not like about this drama. But I must say it is always the same recurring themes which are rather strange and weird to me. I could not understand them and wonder whether it is a cultural thing. Story lines tend to be the weaknesses of Chinese dramas.
In this drama the theme was Yunhe pushing ChangYi away to save him and then hide her good intention from him. She could do this for the moment to quickly achieve what she wanted. But to keep it a secret later was unconceivable. It was a very awkward and unoriginal way to add suspense.
The same went for the nine-tail fox fairy mistress who played down her contribution on saving ChangYi. Don’t claim merits when they were not yours. But merits should be due when it is due.

Engaging on so many levels!!
The story is good but what takes it to the next level is the way the story is told - kudos to the director and producer for bringing this fantasy xanxia world to life so realistically!CGI is one of the best I’ve seen so far and their blue screen is almost faultless. Combined with gorgeous costumes, sets and props, this drama had me binging till 3am.
It was so endearing to see the ML fall in love with the FL and heartbreaking when his innocence was stripped away when he thought he was betrayed. Great chemistry and the FL’s acting was second to none.
I didn’t expect the second couple’s love story to be so moving and shed many tears for them. Most dramas don’t really have a strong storyline for the second couple but this wasn’t the case here.
The story for Blue Feather Bird caught me by surprise and I liked the twist in it to show us how things are seldom what it seems.
All the different storylines and plots were interesting and woven together very nicely. I can’t wait to see Part 2!!!

Prepare your tissues..........
This review covers both parts of The Blue Whisper.The show, in many sites are shown as 1 with a total of 42 episodes but it's separated into 2 parts, first part is 22 episodes and Part 2 is 20 episodes. The entire series is a recommendation, if you love fairies, immortals, mythical beasts etc. The storyline is nice and amazing, alot of teary parts - hence the reminder to prepare your tissues. Throughout the whole series, both Part 1 and 2, there are alot of emotional moments that somehow feels like it could just rip you apart. There are also many funny moments to be found but alot of sad and betrayal moments.
The casts did a splendid job on this series, both the Male and Female Lead are superb. They really did a great job portraying their characters, especially the merman. The innocence along with all the other mix emotions from happiness, sadness, betrayal etc has been portrayed remarkably by Ren Jia Lun (Male lead). Dilraba also did a remarkable job - at times, you don´t even know if she really meant what she said or was it just a plot to get things done.
The soundtrack for both parts are quite nice. Although the beginning song for Part 2, in my opinion, was just too shrilly. I love the song that Ren Jia Lun sang - The merman song - but unfortunately couldn't really find that song with him singing it instead of the original singer.
I would recommend to watch, if you like the synopsis after reading it. Rewatching wise, well, that would really depend on individual opinions. But I have watched it more than twice already. xD

Simply amazing writing and acting. You will feel as if your watching real life!!
Between episodes 1 -12You will cry so much, your heart will break so much, but it will all be worth it.
Because there are 30 more episodes to go, and that will give you hope. It's either S### going to hit the fan or justice will be served either way it's worth the wait.
And the music OMG I don't even speed up to the other episodes lol 😂 I let the music play each episodes 😅 especially the music at the beginning.
So far 10star for me, any drama that can get me to put my phone down while watching is a 10 as I only speak English so I have to read the subtitles to understand therefore if I am on my phone means the drama is boring.
I literally had to pause the drama to give you a report, lol 😆
I love it.
