Story - Even though we have few this troupe , This is some what different where I felt it would be good and continues in the real at least 10 or more min
Actors - I really Love all the characters and their acting , They all really look good in their outfits
Chemistry - The couples in the drama has good chemistry , may it be First or Second and I really Like when they have group in dramas and we have another best group here and the bamboo boy is too cute .
On the Whole the drama is light hearted where it concentrates on Individual characters than deep Revenge and the places in the drama is also good and Dust Demon stole my heart ( Cute <3 ) . The music with the scenes was wow , It is really cool and gave good feeling .

I wish I could rate this drama in parts - a 9/10 for the first 20 episodes or so, and an 8/10 for the latter half. The first part had almost everything I wanted in a xianxia, and it was unexpectedly hilarious, touching, and romantic. Props to the cast, but especially Esther and Yu Xi who really played their roles well.

Perhaps because the first part was so good that the latter half fell short for me - the plot moved much slower, and moments between the two main leads lessened a lot as the focus was more on the background of the second leads and ML.

Overall though, this was a really nice, feel good drama.

A Well-Paced, Heart Warming Watch

I went into this drama, expecting something that would help me pass the time. By no means, did I expect myself to be so enamoured, that I would wake up early every morning to watch the newest episode. Not a single scene had been skipped while watching.

I think many people brush over the real charm of this show. While, yes, there is great romantic chemistry between both lead couples (I giggled through every scene), what stood out to me, and what is severely lacking in other romances, is the platonic chemistry between all five cast members. Yes, I know, you're telling me this is not entirely uncommon. What sets LGIEF apart, however, is that every character is given a chance to shine, WITHOUT taking away from the protagonists story.

To see other characters fleshed out, in my opinion, makes the world feel all the more real.

Finally, while I agree with sentiments that "the latter half was not as enchanting as the first", it remained infinitely more interesting than your average drama. I, personally, enjoyed it completely, and urge others to not be discouraged. On my part, the only reason I've taken away points, is for how explicitly rushed the last few episodes were. Another episode, or two would have been great.

I'm absolutely smitten with this C-Drama! It's the first time I've seen a plot like this, and it's a breath of fresh air. The open-ended finale was brilliant; it leaves room for imagination while still providing a satisfying conclusion.

If you can't get enough of Ding Yu Xi and Yu Shu Xin's incredible chemistry, Moonlight is the perfect next step. It's a delightful and heartwarming continuation of their story that will leave you smiling.

the acting, the story, the characters, music, the chemistry between the leads were all 10/10!!!!!!
this show was just PURE escapism, completely pulled me in and it only took me a few days to finish the entire thing

Love yourself before loving someone else

Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is your typical isekaid drama where the Female Lead transmigrates into the world of a novel she left a bad review for . In that world, she inhabitants the body of the Second female lead who's supposed to be secretly evil. Her mission is to save the world and conquer the heart of Mu Sheng, who has a complex personality.

The drama is very funny and the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I enjoyed it for the most part. It feels like I'm watching an anime but with Chinese mythology, the stories of the demons are also interesting in the beginning at least. I feel like the drama lost its momentum a bit in the 2nd half.

It started becoming more and more boring towards the end and many plot points didn't make sense, it felt like they were added just to increase the time span. Many arcs were utterly boring but the magic that Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi create by being together was interesting enough to continue. The supporting characters were not memorable except Cuicui and his grandpa.

It's essentially a drama about self love and how we should be kinder to ourselves and the people around us. How we shouldn't judge people by their status if they are demon or human. Both can be evil or kind. We shouldn't fixate too much towards endings, it's the journey that counts. Although these messages and theme are beautiful and made me cry a bit, especially how they portray the beautiful bond of friendship and romantic relationships. But i felt the execution of these themes could've been better.

Overall, it was trying to be something more but it kind of failed to be but the romance was incredible, I wish we had more moments of them and the comedy is also brilliant. Despite all the flaws, it's actually a pretty good drama to watch once.

8/10

A pleasant surprise!

This drama exceeded all my expectations. Such drama is usually not my alley abd I only plan to watch this one for fun but oh boy, I was so wrong. I was in for a ride, waiting for the next episodes to come. Honestly, I don't plan to make a review for this one if not for the spamming behaviour.
Pacing is surprisingly good. They didn't dwell too long on that damn bracelet.
Comedic timing is on point. The lightning, fake end credits, dust demon missing a decimal and Miao miao dying several times to offer medicine are funny.
Ding Yuxi is so good! His eyes are enough to express emotions. Yu Shuxin is good too. I cried during the father scene.
Script is the best selling point of this drama. The scriptwriter made changes that I actually appreciate, such as Miao Miao not being too clingy to Fuyi for the mission. I also appreciate how Miao Miao's remarks resonate with me as a viewer.

Drama of the year

The drama excels in its plot, costumes, and the performances of the actors; everything is truly impressive. The chemistry between the cast is exceptional. There are many humorous scenes, but there are also deeply emotional moments, particularly when Miaomiao meets her father, Lin Yu, who resembles her real-life father; it was incredibly touching.

Very Heartwarming and heartfelt

one of the best of c dramas I've watched till now with the perfect chemistry of the protagonists. loved the scenic vfx with the perfect addictive storyline. Would have loved to experience the same as the protagonist.thus drama kept me so on hooked that I couldn't focus on anything else.
would love to watch similar dramas by the author. The beautiful female lead and the handsome male leads were the most of the life of the show which kept me up.This fantasy world is perfect for someone like me who wishes to escape this reality and just enjoy another world of adventure and romance.

my feelings towards the show

I wish there was a better way to describe this show, but all I can say, it was special. I enjoyed it, I felt immersed into the plot, characters, ost, (just everything about it) it was perfect, I'm sure many people would disagree, yes there weren't many romance scenes such as kiss scenes compared to the 2nd lead couple, but I love them. Ziqi and MiaoMiao was special, each time I see them together on screen I couldn't stop myself from smiling. They had such excellent chemistry, though I wish we had at least 2 or 3 extra episodes, either way the ending was bittersweet. I still hear the song playing on repeat in my head, over and over again. I don't want to move on, I want to stay in their world where humans and demons could try to stay together in harmony. Become a part of the four bamboo forest masters squad :(
I will miss that feeling...

The moments I love

LOVE GAME IN EASTERN FANTASY
💗 The moments I love 💕 (Ep.1)

This series boasts a multitude of beautiful moments that I prefer to highlight rather than review the series.

Note 3 moments from the first episode.

🎮 When Ling Miao Miao initially entered the game dimension, also known as the parallel world, Ling Miao Miao unknowingly failed at her quest twice. The series' cinematography is notable, as it seems to guide viewers through the scenes alongside Miao Miao, much like the experience of playing an MMO; and so, we begin, game on. 🎬

☄️ When Mu Sheng first appeared, it was at the pivotal moment to rescue Miao Miao from the Mirror Demon's evil act. As I watched the series to its conclusion, I recalled this scene and grasped its subtle message. This is a veiled message from Fu Zhou (also known as Zi Qi), the author of the novel "Demon Catcher". Fu Zhou composed the novel to create his own world where he could show to Miao Miao that he can protect her. That's why the first time they encountered each other in the parallel world, he rescued and protected her. ❤️‍🔥

💗 The moment that brought tears to my eyes was when Ling Miao Miao met her character’s father in the game, who shared an identical appearance with her late father. Her emotional reaction was a complex mix of shock, delight and profound joy. I believe this was a heartfelt gesture by Fu Zhou/ Zi Qi, who had thoughtfully preserved this element for Miao Miao. He was aware of the immense love and longing she felt for her late father, as well as the remorse she harbored regarding his passing. As a result, he intentionally designed Lin Ngu's father to bear a striking resemblance to Miao Miao's, thereby creating a moving and comforting experience for her within his world. 💝
