literally amazing, worth all my time! the plot is also very interesting and not like those other dramas. this drama is on my favs as a "picky" watcher (i dropped a lot of dramas) there are a few sad scenes (mainly ep 8-12) and it literally touched my heart.. their acting is top notch! despite the sad scenes, this drama is still has many romance scenes, and the FL is not really cringey. one thing i love is that the ML is super introverted but once he met the FL, he became soo clingy and extroverted (only w her tho) 1000/10, LOVE THIS DRAMA!!

No matter where you are, or what you have become I will always find you in every lifetime.

I started watching this series because the drama is adapted from a novel written by Jiu Lu Fei Xiang . She is the same author of the novels of Love between fairy and devil, Back from the brink and The blue whisper. I absolutely loved all the three dramas and when I heard that another novel of hers got adapted into a drama I immediately decided to watch it. So, I have already read the novel and I can say that it's quite different. I guess I am not surprised since this has been the case for back from the brink and the blue whisper too. But regardless of what others say, I personally liked the drama a lot more than the novel.
Reasons to watch:
1. Their unwavering love trust understanding and devotion towards each other. Both the male and the female lead unconditionally love each other and is willing to sacrifice their own life to save the other.
2. Lots of cute and romantic moments between the leads. For me this was a good blend of romance, comedy, action, adventure and angst.
3. The female lead is absolutely no damsel in distress. It may seem that the fl is weak as compared to the ml but that's not the case. She has wits and doesn't cower away when it comes to the safety of her loved ones. Also, they added a backstory to the main leads which was not there in the novel. It was to add the element of mystery to the drama.
4. Main cp were a lot more affectionate than the novel where they quarrelled a lot.
5. They added quite a few side characters to add depth to the story but except for the sml no one is annoying. And even the second male lead redeems himself in the last few episode that you might actually like him in the end.
6. Anyone who watches it carefully can figure out some the parallels between their lifetimes. So it was fun predicting what is about to happen in the future.
7. No matter what the haters say, this drama had quite a lot of screen time for our main cp as compared to some other popular xianxia dramas. It was only in the last 2-3 episodes that they got less screen time.
8. Lemme spoil it, every one got their own happy ending.
9. The cast did their best especially the male lead and the villain absolutely slayed their role
Cons:
1. A lot of people were saying that the fl cannot act. For me, she did pretty well. Her crying scenes were the only part where I felt a bit of improvement was needed. But she's young and I believe she will definitely improve in the future.
2. The first few episodes felt a bit draggy, because their first lifetime involved a lot of politics and the sml's scheming. But it quickly caught up around episode 12-13. In the end, I felt the main villain took quite a lot of screen time with his schemings but ig that was to show how evil he already was and how he was willing to commit even greater atrocities because he was greedy and had inferiority complex.
3. A last minute happy ending. Even though I am satisfied with the ending but it would have been even better if they managed to show us a few more glimpses after they reunited or at least focused on the male lead more. BUT THE ENDING PROVIDED PROPER CLOSURE TO EVERYONE and that is what is satisfying to me.
4. They chopped out a lot of scenes but you can actually find all of them

Also the cgi and the ost's were pretty good. Whenever the bgm called emotional vocalization was played, it made the scene so much more powerful.
SO NO MATTER WHAT THE HATERS SAY, IT'S STILL A 10 OUT OF 10 FOR ME

Seven Dramas in One!

I was looking forward to this drama for many months. I read the book partially and didn't finish it because I wanted the ending to be a surprise.

I can't compare the ending of the drama to the novel obviously but I will share my thoughts on the drama as it's own.

The Main Leads:
Their chemistry is amazing. They have many cute and adorable moments both on and off screen.

The Story:
It's an amazing concept of finding one's true love again. However, I feel that may an extra 30 mins, a episode or a special clip would give a better insight about the ending-It's not confusing but as a viewer, you want a proper closure and not just one where everything wraps up in 2 mins with the leads.

I think this is a problem not unique to this drama but Cdramas as a whole. That's why I gave it a 9.5 stars when I've been giving every episode a 10 star up until the semi rushed ending.

The OST:
There are some nice OSTs in this but I don't know their names. Without any spoilers, my favourite is the most dramatic sounding one so guess it.

The Shengling Duo:
I just wish we got more time with these two on screen together.

Endurances:
You have to endure the annoying prince aka Xiu Ming. This guy is handsome but I don't want to be distracted in the drama plus I didn't like his character but I did feel sorry for him once or twice.

I couldn't care about Jin Lou's love story tbh.

Would I watch this again? Probably
I just wish there was more episodes for each lifetime because honestly, each lifetime would've been epic as a separate drama.

I am so looking forward to watching this pairing in another drama.

Lastly, to all the people who bullied YCY for her acting, she has improved and just because you are behind the screen, it doesn't give you the right to do that. Critic, yes. Bully, no!

the headline is just perfect the plot it just perfect.

I love the chemistry in them this couple should do more acting together they are so comfortable with each other but still waiting for happy ending the music is also my taste the music match with the movie so much I would rewatch this if it has a happy ending the story is just amazing for them so many kissing in each tribulation also every tribulation end with sad ness and mess but I still have it they try to hide their feelings even tho they still show it,CK in the white outfit and white hair is just my type,the outfit that they give CK THE ML is just perfect for him it matches him so well they also give the FL out the also matches with her she so pretty and everything she just matches the role, the age gap (in the movie) is just to much not my type she 47 younger than him overall was just perfect.

7 lifetimes

Really love it, currently my favorite cdrama. I'm so addicted by the characters each lifetime. No boring episodes, the chemistry of the cp is so good. I can rewatcg this after it is completed. I love the cast too. Hopefully they will have another drama together. I jusg love them so much. Hopefully this would not be a tragic ending, Chukong and Xiangyun deserves happiness after those tribulations they've gone through. Also, the villainous characters did their job because I was really annoyed at them. LOL

loved every second, not rushed

oh man. this is such a good show. evenly paced, good storyline, ending only slightly ambiguous but not completely confusing or frustrating.
ahhh
yes
this is the type of drama I love to watch.

I’m really satisfied with this drama. it’s going to be hard finding another drama to watch after this one.

ML I’ve always liked watching him in other shows. I felt like he got to really shine in this drama though.
FL I’ve only seen her as a supporting role in a modern drama so she is new to me. but oh my thread was she cute! And the chemistry! it was just so good. I would watch them again in another drama for sure.
Supporting cast were all above average, none of them sucked horribly. I don’t want to say any spoilers, so I’ll vaguely say there is this one tribulation where the supporting cast had the most fun dynamic. I wish there was more of that but alas there are only 38 episodes (half joking).

the flow was really good considering how many pieces of the story there was to complete but they did a good job doing it without being confusing. the ending didn’t feel rushed which is a big deal these days.

A new favorite of mine!

As someone who enjoys the work of Ding Yuxi, I decided to check this show out and I absolutely loved it!

The two leads have so many sweet moments together throughout the show, there was never any huge misunderstandings between them - which is rare in the drama world.

This might not be everyone's cup of tea but if you want to watch a sweet and cute show then this is for you! Plus you get to see our two leads fall in love several times as they go through love tribulations - hence the name of the title!

The show is definitely easy to watch and easy to follow along. Some people may not enjoy that the two leads have to go through the tribulations together repeatedly, but I began to enjoy seeing their love blossom in different dimensions and that's why I enjoyed seeing so many sweet moments between the two leads.
If you're looking for a show to watch, please do check this one out!

💕💕💕

Seven Lives, Same Love

Imagine living seven times, falling in love with the same person each time, and then one of them dying EACH TIME.

The OST was a-mazing, but why is it every cdrama a character gets hurt they cough up blood one time like…?

I enjoyed this. Some of the lives were just too long such as the second one, but I loved the animal life, the last one… I think I enjoyed it more when there was fewer episodes during their tribulations.

Also, I loved their friendships. I’m glad Zihui is okay and I would love a side story based off these characters with everybody making an appearance. And you can tell Chukong loves Cang Hai so much. I love his character. And he’s FINE- he almost looks like the spitting image as Neo Hu who played Tianyo in Back from the Brink.

I've Signed IQIYI VIP Just for this and It was worth it

It's rare for a couple to be truly companions and that happenned here.
They do everything for each other and they trust each other.
It's a pleasure to watch every life of them, no matter how brief they were, it got me entangled with the characters and their history.
My main point here was Ding Yuxi. I've been appreciating his work since Intense Love but he really did Great in this drama. I was stunned by his looks, hurted by his tears and melted by his sweetness. The couple had so much chemistry and they both shone in the diversity of their characters.

I will definitly put on my "Must Rewatch" List and on my "Fluffy" List

Multiple love trails hehe

Overall 10/10
🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟✨

An incredible drama! This is definitely my favourite fantasy Chinese drama if not my top favourite after Hidden Love!!!
(I have since watched LGIEF and mwah) Everything about this drama was so alluring and I truly fell in love with all the characters. The concept of falling in love in seven life times was so beautiful to me and I loved every lifetime. The side characters also really brought the whole story together, every single life time was captivating. However, my favourite life was definitely the life in which they went to the demon realm! (I started the drama because of Ryan Ding but stayed watching because of Yang Chaoyue.) I HIGHLY recommend watching this especially if you love fantasy dramas. It is so stunningly beautiful from costumes to the set to the ost... I truly appreciate everything about the production of Love You Seven Times!
(Definitely my favourite OST of all the C-dramas I've watched)
