Well Written-- Best 'Costume' Cdrama Of 2023
Top-notch story aesthetics, unlimited flow of scripts, and super sweet light comedy--Love You Seven Times became one of my favorite dramas this 2023. The scenes are beautiful, the makeup and costumes are beautiful, the special effects are cool, and the OST is super nice. Every single song is worthy of being played on repeat! The plot has a tight rhythm and a lot of details. The acting skills of all the casts are top-notch, especially Ding Yuxi. His acting skills are delicate, layered and immersive, and he perfectly interprets the role of Chu Kong. And Actually This is the first time I have watched a drama about Chaoyue, and I feel that her acting skills are not as bad as they said, and she is still very good but yes she needs to work with it a little more but it's still not bad....My Highlight Comment✨
There may be many parts/stories about immortal kings and fairies, and about going to mortal world to have tribulations, but Qi Shi's script is a unique infinite flow loop, which is very interesting and innovative! it made this drama more interesting! I'll definitely miss Them🤍

"Whether it's now or 30,000 years ago, I was fated to find you."
In this captivating drama, the intricate interplay of past love, lost memory, and enduring reunion takes center stage, amidst a backdrop of tribulation that spans across lifetimes. The narrative revolves around two souls whose fates have been entwined through ten thousand of years, torn apart by tragedy and bound together by a love that transcends time. The story unfolds as their memories of each other are erased, yet an inexplicable magnetic pull guides them back to each other, prompting a series of poignant reunions. As they navigate challenges and trials unique to each lifetime, the depth of their connection is unveiled through their unwavering support, sacrifices, and an unspoken understanding that surpasses conscious memory. Love You Seven Times skillfully navigates between different lifetimes, weaving a tapestry of emotions and various contexts that enrich the narrative and reflect the complexities of love's endurance. Each reunion is laced with both the joy of rediscovery and the heartache of their repeated seperations, creating a captivating emotional rollercoaster for the audience. As Chu Kong and Xiang Yun confront obstacles and tribulations, theirs' growth and evolution add layers of depth to their connection, highlighting the transformative power of enduring love. Through the thematic exploration of love's recurrence across lifetimes, the drama leaves viewers pondering the idea that true love persists despite the trials of existence. Ultimately, this poignant tale invites audiences to reflect on the notion that love's essence endures, even in the face of forgotten memories and the tests of time.They are really the epitome of I am ready to sacrifice myself as long as the one I love lives well. Whether it's 30.000 years ago, in the mortal world, or after they reunite again, they keep protecting each other at the cost of their own lives. Watching Chu Kong send his last soul to prevent Xiang Yun from perishing is so sad. He couldn't keep his promise to be with her forever, but he did this because what was important to him was keeping his beloved one alive. The last line, when he asked her to look around the world so they could meet again, became a sliver of hope for Xiang Yun that one day he really would come back to her side. Whether it's in the past or future, whether it's another lifetime or another timeline, she makes sure to find him again. If we connected it with the novel ending, we could imagine Xiang Yun going back and forth to find him, collecting every sliver of his soul, and finally being able to meet the one that she has been waiting for. The one who promised her a forever life together.
"They say love is so powerful that it can make death not scary at all."

I really really hate useless FLs
I really like the plot tbh. The whole premise of having to undergo 7 love tribulations with an almost stranger is interesting. The lives (2 so far) have been interesting as well.The men in these series (as with almost every series) are intelligent, charming and borderline scheming which makes for good plot. I originally didn't like the 2nd FL princess as she was overbearing and entitled but i have changed my mind after this 2nd life. I have nothing against the actress for the FL and her acting. But the way they wrote her.... I was internally screaming with frustration. If not for DYX i might have just dropped the show.
*Spoiler*
One of the most useless FLs in the beginning. I really hate it when they write FLs that do nothing but cry. In the first few episodes she even praises herself as a genius. Stupid people who don't know they're stupid are the worst. I'm writing this review in rage after finishing the first 12 episodes.
She had AT LEAST 3 chances to stab the prince. She couldn't even do it right when she finally did. I nearly threw my phone. She threatens to kill herself then proceeds to push the ML away for trying to save her. Not to mention the fact that they're all in that situation because she decided to try and be self-sacrificial for nothing. She went in as a glorified hostage and didn't even exchange her parents' lives for it. Didn't even kill the person who indirectly forced them to take their own lives. Just sat on her little safe pedestal and did absolutely nothing. Girl, what value do you bring to anyone at this point? Just extra motivation for the ML to get himself killed for you. My goodness. His one wish was to marry you and you gave the evil person just that... Like... Imagine someone going "I killed everyone you love so you will only love me" and the girl going "Yes, you killed all my loved ones but i will give you your wish anyway" ???????????
*Rant end*
That said, the music is 100/10. Love all the OSTs!!! The CGI and the costume designers did an absolutely amazing job. One of the prettiest CGI sets I've ever seen. I want it as my desktop wallpaper. The costumes I can't help staring at the intricate details. It's not over the top and clunky like most xianxia costumes. It has a lot of fine details that make it look expensive. The design of their headpieces are amazing!!!
And the other actors and actresses did a good job. I really liked all of them. Even the evil prince dude at least had the determination to see things through until the end. The writers did a horrible job with the main FL... just another damsel in distress drama only worth a casual watch for DYX. Disappointed.
My friend says it gets better so i will continue to watch it for the plot. But i will probably skip all the FL parts from now on. She only pisses me off LOL
TLDR: what could have been a 9/10 or 10/10 drama with amazing set, music and cast was reduced to a mere 5/10 due to the writing.
Edit after watching it in full:
The later episodes are much better even though the writing for the FL is inconsistent. Her personality changes throughout each of her 'lives' while Chu Kong's doesn't even through the memory losses. The villain was also very one-dimensional and wasn't a complex character. Otherwise, I really like the FL as Cang Hai. She was a badass who knew what she wanted and went for it. I think apart from the 2nd life, the subsequent scenarios weren't too bad. It is still a casual watch for me. I will 10/10 go back for the beautiful CGI scenery and OST moments. The funny bits were also quite well written. The actors and actresses did a really good job! My fav would be the 3rd life - it was funny and Chu Kong's sect leader costume looks amazing on him even though i skipped most of the dumb misunderstanding moments.
There are quite a few rewatchable moments in this show but i still think it's a pity that the writing for a few of the parts are lacking i skipped quite a bit of the 2nd pair's arc. This could have been a 10/10 drama if the storyline details were more ironed out and less draggy in some areas.

"But on a Wednesday in a cafe, I watched it begin again"
This one lyric comes to my mind when I finished the final episode. If you watch it, you would get what I mean. Their love stories started from that place. I would not spoil it so you need to watch it. This drama was about how a fated couple found their ways back to each other bcs they were destined to be together.ML, Chu Kong, the God of War, was a man who was devoted to his duty to protect the six realms and lived just for that. He was intelligent and very good at fighting ofc. So to him, he didn't have time for pesky emotion like love. But supposedly, he needed to go through the love tribulations to enhance his damaged primordial spirit so he just acquiesced in the name of fulfilling his duty. So he just settled with FL since they were entangled and thought he could get over this "task" fast. Times spent together, he was moved by her actions, love for him. Chu Kong as a man in love, treasured Xiang Yun with all his heart, he just willing to do anything she said, just happy at the sight of her and willing to die for her.
FL, Xiang Yun or Empress Cang Hai, was a fairy that also devoted to her duty at Marriage Pavilion. She was willing to use any trick to save the Marriage Pavilion from being destroyed. ML being the God Of War was valid to be angry at her trick so somehow they got entangled together to help him recover his primordial spirit. She was wary of ML and fear of him coz he was God Of War, so she also thought to get this thing with him over with. But the second love tribulation, I hv to mention his name coz this version of him was still part of ML just... buried deep I guess. So in this lifetime, Lu Changkong was sincerely in love with FL, he was so sweet and understandable that made her wavered and she fell in love with him. She didn't regret dying for him and just wish she cld be with him forever. It was a start for their relationship, bcs back in the heavenly realm, ML didn't disappoint although there was still up and down in their relationship after that.
Their love tribulations after that were touching to me. There wld be times that he wld sacrifice himself for her but she could not bear to be without him so she did something shocking in order to be back by his side.
I love all the important characters: Our other couple who went through so much, the kind and loyal Zihui and the ruthless but need some love Jin Luo. Jin Lian who had character developments. Our 2ndML, Prince Xiuming, you were my type of 2ndML the one who love FL from afar, willing to help her and know how to move on. How I wish I could see who you end up with, you deserve to be happy after all the suffering. Shout-out to the Red Thread Master, Immortal Li and Immortal Sun too.
I actually decided to watch this drama just because. I didn't expect it to be a bit related to Love Between Fairy and Devil. There were a few things related to it but that was it. It just funny how I just finished LBFnD before this drama and somehow then I chose this drama randomly to watch after it. I also was curious about ML since the last time I watched him was in TRoTnR.
I love love love all the different sets, outfits, dresses and accessories, stories of different lifetimes. It just so amazing and different to me that it could be this way. Myb it could be bcs this was my second Xianxia drama.
I love some of the OSTs too, "Only Love", "Grief Record", "Break Through" and I definitely need to find who was the singer who just sang with her voice, just AaaAaaAaa (idk what the term is used here) signalling the end at each episode.
Tbh the happy ending was not my type of happy ending coz the moment of the ML and FL's happiness was so short (I ranted about it a bit in my review of LBFnD too). I might lower my rating if I rewatch idk but for now, considering the plots and the lifetimes, I will give it this rating.

"One Moment of Impulsiveness, Seven Lives of Unluckiness."
My actual rating : 8.7/10. Finally completed my fifth xianxia drama in 2023. Took me a week to finish this one. Actually I could finish it earlier but keep delaying the inevitable because I don't want it to end (T.T). This just shows how much I enjoyed this drama. LYST remind me much of drama LBFAD because they had similarities in the hair ornaments, color palette used, the realms settings and the OST style.◇The plot: 8.5/10
I thoroughly enjoyed the plot. If you're a devoted fan of xianxia like me you will enjoyed it regardless of how many times you see the same plot device was used in the drama (:D). The plot starts when our main leads during a banter accidentally tied the ancient love knots on themselves which the result required them to go through seven lifetimes together to untie each knot. They called it as mortal love tribulations. I enjoyed pig x tiger , childhood friends turned lovers, the prince x the empress lifetimes the most. Lifetimes I enjoyed the least which I think quite boring were the master x his disciple and the bodyguard x the princess lifetimes. My most favourite plot is the demon realm storyline. As usual , the bad guys and the good guys here are not as what it seem like. The mystery aspect here also nicely done. Now about that ending scene urgh not again! -SPOILER BEGIN- They just love to end it that way huh. Same ending as in almost xianxias if you know what I mean (I am looking at you Love Between Fairy and Devil, Back From the Brink, The Longest Promise.... ) This is the cliche I did not enjoyed watching in xianxia. Is it too much to ask them to end it with a romance scene between leads. Not just they finally meet ,stares and smiles then the end . Although this one had little improvement where one of them talked and teased the other with question. But I need them to at least hug each other after all the hardship they went through, both of them deserved that hug..... *sigh* -SPOILER END-
◇The angst: 7/10
Just 7 because I don't think this drama is angsty enough. Just contained only few moments of angst here & there especially in the master x his disciple lifetime. Considering our main couple maintained healthy relationship thoroughout the story and honest to each other hence this had low angst meter.
◇The acting: 9/10
This was my 3rd drama of Ding Yu Xi and I remembered enjoyed his TROTAR which leading me to watch his Intense Love after that. But only after watching his performance in LYST I'm totally now his fan. I was impressed with his acting here as Chu Kong/ Lu Chang Kong . I could see he gave his all in every version of Chu Kong in those 7 lifetimes. Ofcourse my favourite version of Chu Kong was him as a cat demon <3 . Can't get enough of his divine looks! I feel for his character the most. His undying love for Xiang Yun . His pain when they need to separate. His smugness when he achieved what he wants and the way he exhibits his playful nature . He succesfully captured my heart with his acting here. To compared with his co-star Yang Chao Yue's acting, he's definitely x3 better. I've watched YCY in The Journey of Chongzi (dnf) and Fireworks of My Heart before and my opinion of her remained the same. She is pretty especially when she smile. But her acting is just okay to me. She's great at acting cutesy but when the scene required her to act with more depth I ain't see that. I'm not feeling much when she cried d/t heartbroken. Most of the times it just felt superficial. If only she put more depth & detail into those scenes it would be perfect.
◇The romance : 9/10
I have no complaints. Totally enjoyed the romance here. Great chemistry displayed by both leads. I could see they feel comfortable around each other. Like when friends turned lovers. The romance is sweet and not spicy at all.
◇OST: 10/10
Great! Great! Great! I'm so in love with the OST . My most favourite :Till the End of Time by Liu Yuning. (I love almost all ost sung by him . A king of Cdrama OST indeed) . I rarely mention BGM in my review but I'm totally in love with the BGM here especially that Dadadada Melody which often appeared in sexy scenes between leads and that war chant in fight scenes.
◇CGI & Cinematography: 9/10
I have nothing but praise. Beautiful and pleasant CGI & cinematography. My favourite settings : Marriage Pavilion, The Star Platform. Love the pastel colors background. Love everything.
◇ Hairstyle &Costumes : 10/10
Dazzling. Elegant. Mesmerizing. My favourites: Chu Kong in his cat demon attire (gotta love that grey hair, forehead mark, adorable vulpine ears, hand accesories & furry outfit!) & Xiang Yun in her colourful red -yellow -brown outfit. Their make up also perfect ! Yang Chao Yue looks so beautiful & Ding Yu Xi so good looking like he just came straight from a manhwa. I like the fact that they didn't overdid it when applying lipstick on him, all natural looking unlike LYX's lips in TTEOTM. There I said it ,the truth.
In conclusion, I really enjoyed this drama to the fullest. Totally recommended if you're a devoted xianxia fan or a beginner to this genre.

Wibbley Wobbley Time Wimey with several shots of Caffeine
Rated= 6 ~ 25/50 ~ 5RPG Scene // Fairy buzzing around my head on the Mountain Pass. Trying to swat them with an axe.
For my review of White Cat Legend, I hated the cgi cat face and paws and gave a description of what I would have preferred, and damn, I love being right 😂I got a little bit of it in this one. He looked great 👍
Plot - I find some people hate the Immortals going to the Mortal realm plot so the creators of this one laughed and added several mortal realm journeys as the entire point of the plot lol
We open with the story of a great evil empress, Cang Hai who was defeated by the God of War and now there is a prediction that she may return. Our God of War, the ML, is isolated and moody. His primordial spirit was damaged in his battle with Cang Hai, and he suffered memory loss, and has gone to the mortal realm for numerous different trials in an effort to heal it but nothing has worked. With the prediction that Cang Hai will soon be resurrected by her vengeful clan, he agrees to the trials he hasn't tried yet. Love Trials.
Enter our FL. Once a cloud, she was brought to form and raised by the Red Thread Master, the master of the Marriage Pavilion, responsible for match making in the human realm. Our FL is coerced into taking on the responsibility of finding a woman to go through the love trials with the God of War or the Marriage Pavilion will be destroyed. She auctions this role off to the God of War's many admirers to raise funds and in the process of tying the red thread of fate to the sleeping ML's wrist, accidentally gets tied to him as well, thus beginning the trials.
The first trial is accidental, short and funny as they take the form of a tiger and a pig, which becomes a running theme throughout the show.
Each life is different, furthering the romantic plot. The 2nd life or the first 'official' life is the longest running, starting in childhood and going through to the characters eventual deaths. Each life gets progressively shorter in episodes as we start building the momentum.
Back in the Immortal realm, the leads eventually find out that by the FL sacrificing her life for the ML, she is giving him her own primordial spirit as they share the same origins. This leads us back to discovering what actually happened in the famous battle with Cang Hai and who the real villain is.
There is an interconnectedness that I really liked within the plot. As some characters keep reappearing in different lifetimes, casual mentions of previous life characters to give us a sense of time between each life, as well as a side plot unravelling with a secondary couple. It feels like one big web and I like when writers do that as it creates connections between the different segments and helps the flow of the story telling when you are using several very different characters, environments and backgrounds.
We see an array of sets and designs in each life, from middle class life, sects, royalty and demons. And each one with it's own aesthetic that mirrors the lifetimes of the characters.
Unfortunately, I found at times, the plot dragged. The thing is, I felt like the pacing was fine. The first life had to be the longest because it was the one that built the feelings the ML had for the FL. But every time we got back to the Immortal realm, I felt like the writers had hit a wall. There was a sudden drop in momentum. That's the problem with using several different stories to create one larger one. The viewer spends time getting wrapped up in the mortal realm arc that when we go back to the 'real' plot, we almost feel like what we just witnessed didn't matter. Although there is some essence of history repeating it's self, there's nothing more than the romantic element. In one life, the FL commits suicide knowing that the ML won't be returning from battle and decides to just say 'hey, I'll see ya back at home'. This hurt my feelings a little bit. The first one dealt with this well, in that yes, they return to the Immortal realm but the mortal lives they lived will be forgotten. The body dies, the person ceases to exist ever again. There is importance placed on their earthly lives but then after that, they just forget about it. Afterwards, there was perhaps too much of a casual approach to the mortal lives.
There was also a joke about cooking a pet pig for dinner. Not cute. I was very annoyed. The little pig lived but was forgotten once that life ended.
Another reason for the drag brings me to my next point.
Acting - Ding Yu Xi has beautiful, cat like eyes, and a very expressive face. Unfortunately his co star, our FL, is not quite on the same level. I only call out actors when they stand out specifically and I'm afraid Yang Chao Yue stood out for all the wrong reasons. Her character started off with that really annoying, pouty, childlike voice that Chinese actresses are sometimes made to do. Thankfully as the character evolves, she loses it but she is severely lacking the 'umph' to pull off the emotional scenes. I was actually skipping through her death scenes, scenes that were meant to be emotional, were just really grating my nerves. She was more annoying as an actress than as a character, and that doesn't happen often. I was drama kid, I can give actors some room to grow but wow, this just felt awful to watch. I haven't seen any other work from this actress so I'm willing to make it a directional problem but there were just too many times where her portrayal just felt so wooden and dry, like she was on her 100th night of a touring show. The emotional crying scenes were painful, like a child pretending to cry for attention. Ding Yu Xi managed to counteract this with his own quips and quirks to keep me watching but he shouldn't have to and that's just sad as a performer.
Music - I quite enjoyed the music to this one. There were two specifically that stood out. The dramatic one and the bah dah bah one that played during the cute moments.
Rewatch - The romance in this isn't particular intense and the kisses are simple, which may have contributed to the feeling of drag for me, when we returned to the Immortal realm. It feels as though, even though the leads have had lifetimes together, the romance never leaves that teenage phase of hand holding and promising to be together always. It is however an enjoyable watch but I did skip scenes so I'm unlikely to watch it again.

it's a fairy tale
children may enjoy this ,if kissing scenes were removed . it was fairytale . seven times love means they birth seven times im mortal realm . it was sort of love story . i liked the starting of the drama , it was little funny too because they reincarnated into pig and tiger form that was funny , What was more funny that he felt embarrassed when he changed into pig form and because of it they he ignored was funny . some stories of their reincarnation were boring and some were good. Acting was good . Happy ending for two couples.i liked it .

milkymochi is speaking
《How about the storyline, the videography and Costume?》From the first episode until the last episode it's absolutly beautiful storyline, very clear and there is on point. There is no plot twist but it's really good and I'm watching with smile. This is very light and there is no tricky matter. 38 episode it's perfect and fits. Good ending and well done.
The videography is of a high level, the professional editing on the green screen makes for a beautiful sight and I commend them for their excellent workmanship.
Costume? Don't ask again. It's very beautiful! Tbh I more like ML (Ding YuXi) costume when he become Chu Kong, it's fits with him like the costume is really making for him. I think their budget deployed for clothes, the detail is no kidding.
《What's the most interesting?》
Pigs and tigers, symbols of their love and always appear in each of their reincarnations, even until the end of the episode. They are very thorough and detailed.
Last 4 episode, when Chu Kong go to the supernatural world (underworld) and become a cat demon. The iconic and the cutest ever.
《Why is it bad?》
The story seems rushed and chased as I remember only 38 episodes.
《What about the actor/actress?》
Ding Yuxi as Chu Kong suits him very well and he plays very well in this drama. I watched LYST for Ding Yuxi tbh.
Yang Chaoyue as Xiangyun and Cang Hai. Honestly, I was a bit skeptical when I saw the female lead because of the previous drama but I really liked it in LYST. She looks more mature and even better acting.

Good xianxia drama
I started watching this mainly because of Ding yuxi after watching his white cat legend drama.This is the story about love between a fairy and God of war .The story though starts off in Marriage Pavilion in heavens,it quickly proceeds to the entanglement between the ML and FL,after which the both of them set off to their tribulations.
There is a suspense and mystery waiting to be solved which has been buried for 30,,000years.
I liked the mystery segment and the way how it was solved.I can say this is the best part of the drama.
All the seven lives which they underwent were interconnected to each other and also helped the main protagonists in solving a heavenly mystery.
Ding Yuxi as God of War is impressive.As i already said,his acting skills are good.
Yang Chaoyue was also good in her role.
All the other actors,sets,costumes were good.
You will not feel disappointed after watching this drama though it proceeds on a lighter note but may not impact you on a higher note emotionally.
Overall a good drama to watch.

Great show, captivating leads
I really enjoyed this show. The leads are excellent and have wonderful chemistry. They live several different lives and so play different versions of themselves and each was as convincing as having a whole new actor play the part. The story was great, the characters interesting, the visuals were vivid. I enjoyed some episodes so much that for a few days after finishing the drama, I just went back and rewatched them. The only thing I would complain about is a spoiler so i'll leave it hereWas this review helpful to you?

Pairing is the best thing, but hey, it's a romance story at the end of the day
To me, Love You Seven Times never aspired to claim the title of the best drama of the year. It didn't set overly high expectations, yet it managed to provide an enjoyable and satisfying piece of entertainment.I've noticed that many readers of the novel were left disappointed with the adaptation. While I believe the novel might offer a more finely crafted story, I haven't read it, which could explain why my assessment isn't as harsh.
Let's begin with what garnered the most discussion about this drama: the acting. Ding Yuxi undeniably delivered an outstanding performance. He immersed himself in his character, breathing life into it in an admirable manner. It's fascinating how, across different lifetimes, he portrayed subtle distinctions while maintaining consistency in his character. His portrayal was both concise and brilliant.
On the other hand, Yang Chaoyue's acting didn't reach the same level. While some viewers disliked her portrayal, I found it to be passable. She's neither a standout actress nor a terrible one, just somewhere in the middle. The issue may have been that she was placed alongside an exceptional actor, making her shortcomings more noticeable.
Despite the imbalance between the leads, I wouldn't trade their pairing. Their on-screen and off-screen chemistry is one of the drama's highlights, convincingly portraying them as a loving couple.
One aspect I thoroughly enjoyed was the visual aesthetics. This drama boasts some of the finest costume and scenery designs I've seen in a while. They fully capitalized on the opportunities presented by the Xianxia genre, resulting in a stunning production, from the celestial Heavenly Realm to the vibrant Mortal Realm and captivating Demon Realm. All three were a feast for the eyes. Additionally, the soundtrack was delightful.
The comedic moments were numerous and highly entertaining, with Yang Chaoyue shining brightest in these scenes.
The theme of multiple lives and the unwavering choice of each other in each one resonated with me as a sucker for romance, providing a satisfying narrative arc. The way these various lives intricately wove together and explained events as they unfolded was enjoyable. The one exception was the princess/general storyline, which felt rushed and out of place. I couldn't even form an attachment to that setting before the characters returned to the Heavenly Realm.
The third life and the Demon Realm arcs were the highlights. They both offered many elements that I found highly enjoyable.
The heartwarming relationships between Chu Kong, Xiangyun, Qian Mou, and Qian Ren, especially the latter two and their amusing yet endearing friendship, were satisfying to witness. However, I felt that the development of an equally strong friendship between Zihui and Jin Lian was lacking, leaving me expecting a rekindling of their bond that never materialized.
Turning to the aspects I didn't appreciate, I must mention the rushed romance. While I loved the leads' relationship, their sudden intense love for each other caught me off guard. It felt abrupt, almost as if I had skipped an episode and missed a crucial development between them.
The villain and overall conflict in the story were lacking depth and intrigue. It's challenging to pinpoint specific shortcomings because they simply failed to engage or offer anything novel or captivating.
Xiu Ming's character was particularly bad. I found him more detestable than the main villain and was genuinely disappointed when he received redemption at the end. His initial annoyance persisted, and he largely remained inconsequential during the middle parts until his sudden return to aid the leads.
The ending left much to be desired. I've grown weary of one of the main characters dying only to miraculously return in the final moments without any explanation of how, why, or when they managed to rise from the dead. While I understand that this may sometimes be a workaround to censorship, it's disheartening that the writers couldn't devise a more innovative solution to this recurring issue.
In conclusion, Love You Seven Times is worth watching. It may not become your favorite piece of media or a life-altering experience, but if you're seeking an enjoyable Xianxia romance, it's a solid choice.

Love through seven lifetime - beautiful drama
I really love the concept of this drama. I love romance and this dramas gave it. We got to see them falling in love again and they were so cute together. They also have good chemistry and they were together for lots of of episodes in my opinion compared to other dramas. There was no misunderstanding, no break up also.They loved each other so much, they were truly fated and it’s was beautiful to see also the past when they first meet and fell in love. All the details too, like the red string and the soul protector spell. I absolutely loved that
I really loved the ML, he was so cute and handsome. I love his acting. The FL was good too.
It’s was sad and beautiful, made me cry, smile and laugh. The second couple broke my heart too.
CGI and costumes were beautiful. love the ost
Some negative point for me :
- the kissing scenes were horrible
- the second lead was so annoying for most of the drama, I just wanted him to go away and die. He was always in the way and he was delusional if he ever thought he had a chance. At least he got useful at the end.
- happy ending, but I hate 1 min happy ending, it makes me mad. Like the ML died early in the episode, the could have show a lot more of the happy ending of the main leads. I didn’t care about the others and the people in the heavenly realm, they showed too much of them. I read somewhere that in the novel they get married in the end, we needed more. Also, all the talk about completing their wedding, travel together, etc and we got nothing
- also the ending for the second couple, why ? It’s like an open ending, I wanted him to recognize her and run to her. They both left their way.
- so I don’t know in general the ending wasn’t good enough for me, so…. had to give 9,5 and not 10/10
I would recommend this drama
