My precious
I watched it because I saw a clip, which reminded me of LBFD. I was *what?are they imitating it? It looks cheaper*.So I gave it a try. And as a lot of viewers I was smitten.
-I like both leads.I think they are talanted enough.
-I liked the salty fish thing.Refreshing.
-It is 33 eps but first 24 fly by .Then til 30 is the hard times. 31-33 they get to wrap things.
I was suspicious because dramaland often is serving pretty but tasteless dishes. Good ideas, poorly executed.
But this show suprised me. It was light, it was funny(not cringy fun), it was heartfelt.
It is a happy end. Maybe better than LBFD and LGEF. It could be better but...
People are talking about 2 season but is too soon. Maybe as the trend goes - a new drama with same leads in a modern times.
I don`t think is retelling or copying LBFD. I suspect someone maybe tried to learn form major hits. I think it would be smart thing to do,especially if it is smartly executed.
I was suprised by the Romance.It is a well done, a superb chemistry and a lot of tastefull skinship. Is it a c drama? Wow.I feel cheated by other dramas. Why are you sleeping instead of doing something like that? If you are making a romance story do it properly.That includes choosing the right actors. Most viewers do not expect some ultra explicit scenes. I understand that some actors are not comfortable in those kind of roles. But Romance genre is what it is.
There are so many moments which will stay with me .They make this drama rewatchable.
I love their first/last meet. I loved the otter thing. I liked how they made him competent and capable for the most part.A lot of times after some eps they make the ML completly helpless. I know why but still. At least do not prolong it. Here when he was a human, she was there to ptotect him. A lot of times the vilains are always one step ahead. Here I think its the good guys a step ahead.
I could find problems with the show but it is nothing major.
I saw people liking the costumes.I though that some were OK but others were bad.They combined reds and blues and very few were likable.I liked his early clothes - dark and mostly plain. The red ones sometimes were clashing either with undrelaying ones or with each other colours. I dont know for sure .Am I the problem or am I right?
Compared to LBFAD it looks cheaper. But WDBTD is beating LBFAD in the romance and skinship . Way more than LB...
I am unsatisfied with dramaland oferings these days so I almost missed this gem.

Rollercoaster of Quality
Finally finished this one and I have so many different feelings about it that the rating was quite hard.The first 20-what episodes were a real suffering. The acting was bad, the settings were lame, camera, editing and direction were a shame and don't get me started with the dialogues.
Moreover, the FL who's supposed to be from the modern world had no trouble living in a totally different world, not missing anyone or anything, got used to her new surroundings, never felt like trying to go back and just went with the flow. Despite that, she was always a fun character to be around.
The ML's actor... Man, he lacked so much of what was needed for that role he played. Never had that murderous, crazy vibe about him... He always looked like a grumpy kid with constipation. And the weirdest thing of all was his smile. It always felt like the actor forgot, that his character needs to do so and suddenly the corners of his mouth jumped high. And it was always the same, no difference whatever the situation. The whole performance seemed to be one of amateur actors.
And then there was the side cast's acting. I don't even want to lose words over it... Exaggerated, lame and noob-ish.
What kept me watching was the story itself actually. Even though until that certain point I would have never guessed that I could be touched by the main couple's romance.
And then, the second life time started, and the third. And I got absorbed. The setting got better, the acting was, well not perfect but acceptable, better. The change in the characters' demeanor was refreshing. And what the ML lacked in the beginning... Oh, he can't smile in different ways, but certainly got a knack for painful longing (within his capacities). There was definitely a change in his facial expressions. As if he tried harder and actually got a bit better.
Thanks to that I enjoyed the second half way more and even cared for the main couple's destiny. Though acting of the side cast was still mediocre. And the plot itself felt totally rushed by then. I missed explanations, I missed the feeling of "alot of time has passed". One scene right after the other and they wanted to sell me a "many months have passed". There was no time to get used to the emotional and situational changes in the story.
And the weird camera direction and captures also remained, even though CGI was somewhat satisfying.
Overall a rollercoaster of quality. It could have been so much better with certain changes in everything. But do I regret watching it though? No.

All a Setup for Romance
This starts off very strong, the story is actually quite dark and handles some heavy topics decently.The leads are definitely the focus and their acting is great.
The concept is interesting, and i was looking forward to how it played out and how the characters developed.
However as far i watched, they don't develop or grow. ML is all powerful, and FL is weak slacker. They each take turns getting hurt, rescuing each other and end up in an intimate embrace. Repeat.
FL has the grandmaster as her mentor, and yet true to her motto, just slacks off from beginning to mid point, no motivation to develop her skills even though she repeatly gets hurt. While entertaining at the start, this is quite dull by midway.
Don't get me wrong, the scenes are great. However theres no balance, there's no growth. The Centuries Old Snake with a mindset of a child is annoying too. Not sure if it gets better as i am dropping this.
If all you are after is intimate Romantic scenes sucking face between the leads, then this drama is perfect for you.
Every scenario is to setup for a Romance scene. Haha. Perhaps this is why the drama is rated so high?

A Great Xianxia Poetry!
Shock! Delight! And terrible regret! Regret that I had to part with this wonderful xianxia poetry. And I really didn't want to!Sometimes you look at a book - a strange cover and an even more ridiculous title, you don't know the author. But out of boredom you take it from the shelf, sit down in a chair and begin a simple reading, thinking that a cheerful, slightly silly novel awaits you, just right to while away an evening with tea. With approximately these feelings I began watching "Offering of Salted Fish to the Master". Expectations - zero. But how wrong I was...
Under the colorful tinsel and bright colors, a real journey awaited me. A journey into a wonderful, sometimes funny, more often sad xianxia ballad about great love, capable of everything: changing and warming a crippled soul, overcoming space and time, separation and finally death itself.
The image of the Great Master, Sima Jiao, is grandiose and majestic. He was born for a great purpose, his enemies were the strongest immortals and Heaven itself, he carried within himself a great blessing and at the same time a terrible curse. And with this burden, Sima Jiao languished in prison for 500 years. He has long forgotten what simple, sincere feelings are, he does not know such a concept as pity for enemies and compassion. Time and circumstances have hardened his heart to the extreme, making him suspicious and gloomy.
But when Liao Tingyan appears in his life, everything changes radically...
And then the real magic begins. Thanks to the amazing chemistry between the actors, the talent of the screenwriter and director, we see how the most ordinary, banal plot turns into a cinematic masterpiece.
Chen Fei Yu's incredible performance gave the character of Sima Jiao that greatness, that power and depth that made your heart skip a beat. Goosebumps from the Great Master!
Wang Ying Lu also surprised me a lot! How she plays! As if she lives. As if a beautiful, immortal, all-consuming love for Sima Jiao really blossomed in her soul, like a beautiful lotus flower. And what a magnificent development her character received. At the beginning of the drama, funny, a little awkward, but so sincere and open Liao Tingyan changes as the plot progresses, becoming more and more self-confident, and in the end acquiring greatness equal to her powerful lover.
The plot develops interestingly and logically. There is not a single empty episode, not a single stupid or unnecessary dialogue. All 33 episodes the viewer's attention is literally riveted to what is happening on the screen.
I definitely recommend watching the drama! Personally, it evoked so many thoughts in me, so many important questions were raised here. But above all, it is a story about a beautiful and eternal love through time and space

Great for the romance lover
If you only LOVE a sweet devoted romance, this is for you.This is a very romantic drama focused on the strong bond between two individuals. That’s it. Yes, there’s evil and obstacles they must overcome but this really is just about their devotion. There’s lots of kissing and sacrificing for each other.
The main lead’s relationship is the main focus. Everything else fades in the background and does not develop much. This includes the plot which feels kind of surface level. There’s lots of sugary sweetness.
The visuals and costuming were rich and beautiful. The scenery in the mortal world was a feast for the eyes. I especially loved the palace scenery when they’re were on the bridge and the camera was angling upwards towards them.
This drama is perfect for those who love romance.
For those who may want a more engaging plot and development of other characters, this may leave you unsatisfied.
Pros:
Visuals: Scenery, backdrop. Props, costuming. They did a good job to make is visually delightful. The cgi was also quality. There’s a little animated creature that she turns into and it was pretty cute.
Lots of affection between the main leads. Their actions aren’t silly either. Two grounded individuals.
Cons:
Other then the main couple’s love, everything and everyone else feels left behind, under developed, or neglected.
Neutral:
Music - it’s very melodramatic. Some may like it because it feeds into the romantic vibe of this drama.
Acting - overall, it’s decent but at times, I just don’t feel the depth. For example, the angst they display after a tragic loss is deep but the plot moves along like clockwork. It feels like acting. Hoping this makes sense.

Interesting story of Jiao-Liao couple!!
When destiny brings the demon, Imho, is a complete package. The story line is pretty interesting with a male lead who is super powerful and the last surviving heir of their clan, who crosses paths with a weak(powers wise) yet innocent and naive female lead who is transported to the world of Sima Jiao.The plot, though slows down in some episodes, but keeps you intrigued for the next episodes. I felt that the plot could be much more serious with less dragging moments, but anyways it is quite watchable.
Chen Feiyu as Sima Jiao did an amazing job. From being domineering and powerful to showcasing his loving, caring and gentler side, he has really outshined in every moment. His costumes were also very good👍
Wang Yinglu was a pleasant surprise for me. Her acting and costumes were good.
All the other cast did excellent work in portraying their roles.
The costumes, cgi, action scenes, were excellent.
I loved the immortal arc more, to be precisebut the remaining 2 are also worth watching.
Finally, a good xianxia drama that will definitely entertain you and keep you glued to your seats. 👍👌

A Rare Xianxia Treasure
I want to share my review of my favorite C-drama. The story is very much character-driven. For example, Sima Jiao transforms from someone who doesn’t care about others—who even thinks about killing and wishes to die—into someone who finally wants to live, all because of her. On the other hand, the female lead, who never wanted to harm anyone, learns to stand her ground and defend herself.Some say the plot isn’t that strong, but I completely disagree. To me, the storyline is powerful because it shows how love can transcend timelines. The so-called “minor plots” actually make the main romance even stronger. What I loved most is how the couple actually talked through their misunderstandings—something rare in xianxia dramas. As a xianxia fan, I’m used to endless angst, blood vomiting, and miscommunications. But this drama gave me something different: pure, genuine love.
Both leads fully embodied their roles and delivered romance so beautifully. It was the main couple that captured my heart the most. It’s rare to see this kind of love in xianxia, and I adored how the male lead was always one step ahead, never easily manipulated. He truly chose the girl over the world—a refreshing change compared to many others.
This drama will always hold a very special place in my heart.

May our love last every lifetime
When destiny brings the demon 2025 (16.08.2025-01.09.2025)Review
When destiny brings the demon appears to be a classic transmigration drama but there are several reasons that it stands out from the rest. At first, this drama was not my priority because I had many other plans like “Legend on the female general” and “Shadow love”. Surprisingly, I only watched this one because it was the only story that could captivate me. Just like that it moved to my top priority drama.
The drama is about a girl who is a regular office worker. The fate is unpredictable and she transmigrates into a fantasy land filled with immortals just before a car crash. While she is learning new things about the world surrounding her, she comes across the Grandmaster, Sima Jiao who has been in seclusion for 500 years. In reality, Sima Jiao is a victim of 8 palace heads, who sealed him away to use his blood for cultivation. Everyone hopes to kill him or use him. In the time where everyone wants to harm him, why is she an exception? These questions make him wonder about her ulterior motives. Female lead, Liao Ting Yan on the other hand has no wish to kill anyone and just sees transmigration as an opportunity to go on “vacation” or a chance to slack off, “salted fish” in terms of Chinese.
The story is introduced with amazing CGI. It actually reflects something you would call a fantasy. Just like the main character, you feel like you have also fallen into this strange world. The plot is very balanced both romance and angst wise. Witty dialogues, although don’t last long, leave a memorable impression. I remember each comedic scene by heart.
The drama is divided into 3 eras: Immortal realm, demon realm and mortal realm. There the main characters go through different obstacles but one thing remains the same, they will fall in love with each other over and over again!
Not to say other eras were bad (They were all amazing), but among them all, immortal realm is easily the best. Angst, romance, comedy and discovery of soul bond. All together happens there and perhaps this completes it as the best episodes of the drama. Besides that, we get to see Ting Yan helping her Master Sima Jiao. However, at a times I wonder who the true master is because Jiao Jiao let’s her slack off often times. I need to also talk about truth spells, it is not for getting the truth out of people but to hear Ting Yan’s unpredictable thoughts. This scene is especially my fav:
- Look at them all. Each one would be a figure to be feared outside. But look at them now. How pathetic. What are your thoughts on this? *Truth spell*
- Your waist is so slim.
- What?
- I think you must have been locked away too long and starved into this shape
- You are not wrong. The pain I have endured will be repaid.
Another favorite scene of Ting Yan’s unpredictable thoughts:
- So you don’t want to come with me?
- It’s not that I don’t want to.
*Truth spell*
- Why don’t you want to?
- I’m afraid I might see dead people.
- A person from the Demon Domain is afraid of dead bodies?
Little does he know that she is from modern world.
The amount of truth spells used is quite a lot but Ting Yan pulls the UNO reverse card on him.
Honestly speaking, I’m glad that he has a truth spell. He is a very wary of his surroundings and suspects everyone. Not only that, the spell also adds a comedic sense so why not?
And the soul bond? They already mention it within the drama that it is the most intimate bond and I could not agree more. It is beautiful.
The second arc happens after all the angst and during that time Ting Yan loses her memories unfortunately and sees the villain as her father. Yet something inside her believes that it is all fake. Although, she doesn’t restore her memories even after trusting him, she knows that he only wishes the best for her and simply melts my heart:
- But I have lost all of my memories. Surely you have ways to help me recover them, don’t you? So why haven’t you done it? Wouldn’t that get you what you want much faster?
- True. But you deserve to move at your own pace.
- What if I can never recover my memories?
- It doesn’t matter. We have plenty of time. We can start anew.
The second arc is just not a memory loss but also a plan of their beautiful wedding.
- What is there to celebrate?
- How about a marriage between an immortal and a demon?
- Are you proposing to me?
- If you think of it that way, I cannot deny it.
Unfortunately, Sima Jiao’s life wasn’t meant to last long and Ting Yan’s life was in danger. Sima Jiao gave up his life to her.
He had a chance to live, but did she choose to save him at the cost of suffering the pain of spirit fire?
Yes, she did.
In this arc, Ting Yan had a character improvement especially after gaining power.
Then the story moves on the mortal realm arc where Sima Jiao is a crown prince without any of his memories. And now it was her turn to revive his memories. This arc could have had the best ending but on their wedding day Ting Yan gives up her life. To eliminate all the evil for him, just so he could live carefree without any worry just like how he protected her in the past.
She wakes up in the hospital room, confused whether all of it was a dream or a reality. Nevertheless, her job doesn’t wait but the person she was assigned to meet is Sima Jiao?
- I found you again.
- Do you know me?
- Of course I do
They say those lines with the brightest smile ever
This is meant to say that, in all lifetimes they will find each other once again and their heart belong to one another in every life.
This is the best ending they could give us since the censorship and I don’t complain because it leaves a little room for imagination. The favorite scenes I wrote above don’t sound touching but when you really see their acting, expressions, you will realize how deep it is.
Characters:
Liao Ting Yan
Definitely a sunshine characters. A Female lead who is very comedic and it is not forced at all. She is such a foodie. Her character is pretty unique to me because she is simply a salted fish. The actress did an impressive job considering it is her first xianxia/costume drama. Her longing expressions will stick with me for a long time.
Sima Jiao
Overpowered character but the plot balances it out. However, the superior power is what makes him the bloodthirsty and cold character. As Ting Yan said “cool king” as he is, he is also a major sacrificer.
“If I don’t let you die, you won’t die”
This man proved his point three times and he would do thousandths of times if needed. He is a very smart character and I noticed it from the start. He always plans ahead. He has suffered a lot, in the past in present yet he was able to contain it all to himself. Concealing his injuries. He appears to be a villainous character who kills for no reason but he had every rights to kill those people. Knowing his backstory, I would join “The dark side” too. The actor who played as Jiao Jiao is the first time I saw him and I’m looking forward to his next show. This should explain it all.
Eight palace heads
The real despicable people. These people are ruthless. They have been using the Sima clan, sealing them away for years, drinking their blood. Lucky for us, the first 10 episodes already contain some of their death which was satisfying but Shi Qianlv deserved much more worse death than just a simple quick death because he started it all, he was the one plotting behind all the time. He never truly cared about people’s sacrifices at all. This pathetic only thought of surviving and getting revenge was just a part of his plan. He was blinded by power.
Love story
I don’t have comment anything about it. It is simply done perfect and I myself watched it for this aspect. Every single interaction, kissing scenes are done to perfection. The way they both had wedding rings and how Sima Jiao learned to use her modern words!!?? Simply sweet!
Plot
Yes, expect a lot of potholes if you observe too much. For me personally, it was enjoyable without skipping a second. It wrapped up beautifully as well. I love xianxia with a good romance and I enjoyed it to the fullest
Costumes, CGI, make up, every single details is awesome
The song? Amazing. Love the fact that they put the same song in their first meeting and during their first meeting in mortal world. Same song different feelings and it was portrayed beautifully. It is my 2nd ever time loving the intro song. Something about this song is beautiful.
Ending- the best outcome for them. There is a little hope that Sima Jiao has his memories and it ends just like and the rest for our imagination. 10/10

“Every lonely journey ends with a fated encounter.” ✨
Story:It's hard to rate this one because let’s be honest: the plot isn’t groundbreaking. It’s your standard xianxia-transmigration setup with uneven pacing and arcs that sometimes feel like three different dramas stitched together. The cultivation lore is interesting, but the real magic lies elsewhere. But...Despite all the flaws and the typical rushed/open-for-interpretation-ending issues, I found myself enjoying the ride more than I expected — mostly because of the romance.
Acting/Cast:
Liao Tingyan (Wang Ying Lu): Relatable FL and easy to root for. Her character may come off as “ambitionless” to some, but that’s how her salted fish character is written. What really matters is her endurance and resilience, which sneak up on you as the story progresses.
Sima Jiao (Chen Feiyu): His portrayal of a trauma-heavy character was refreshing. Instead of the usual stoic, emotionally unavailable xianxia ML, here we get someone who isn’t afraid to be vulnerable, to communicate, and to wear his heart on his sleeve. More MLs like him, please.
Romance & Chemistry: ❤️🔥
This is where When Destiny Brings the Demon absolutely shines. It nails that rare trifecta of angst, romance, and comedy in a way that feels fresh for the genre. The romance is swoony, passionate, and refreshingly healthy. No endless misunderstandings, no cold-shoulder tropes. Just two people who talk, connect, and sweep you right along with them. Their chemistry carries this drama on its shoulders, with just the right amount of humorious moments. If I’m rating this one high, it’s not because of a brilliant plot or innovative storytelling; it’s because the romance made me grin, swoon, and root for them every step of the way.
Production:
CGI: sometimes “so-so,” but never immersion-breaking.
Visuals: strong overall, with a few odd shots that you’ll quickly forgive once the leads start interacting.
Tone: uneven across arcs, which can feel distracting, but with a limited episode count, it’s forgivable.
Overall:
If you want a swoon-worthy romance with a male lead who breaks the usual mold, When Destiny Brings the Demon is worth your time. Just don’t expect groundbreaking storytelling or a fully satisfying ending. The FL character might stretch your patience and make you roll your eyes more than once, but the passionate romance, healthy communication, and Sima Jiao’s unforgettable character more than made up for the flaws.
Actual rating: 7.5 upped up to an 8 because despite the obvious shortcomings, I enjoyed the emotional beats and the love story.

Great chemistry and fun to watch
From the very beginning, it felt fun, light and easy to watch but at the same time it had depth in the characters and story. I liked how the FL is funny, kind, and down-to-earth while the ML’s past makes him more complex and interesting. Their chemistry worked so well that I found myself smiling at their sweet moments and the romance didn’t feel awkward or dragged out.The balance between the fantasy plot and the emotional side of the story was just right, so I never felt bored.
The production is also quite nice, the costumes, settings and fight scenes make the drama enjoyable to look at, even though a bit of the CGI could’ve been better. Toward the end, the pacing got a little rushed and the ending had a bittersweet feel, but overall it still left a strong impression on me. It’s the kind of drama that makes you want to keep watching and think about it afterward.

A Phenomenal Dream Lasting Three Life Times!
"When Destiny Brings the Demon" was quite an unexpected drama to say the least. There was two other dramas i began to watch simultaneously, but only WDBTD was able to enthrall me into this universe. The concept of this drama isn't new, but I usually do no gravitate towards it, however, because i was a fan of Chen Feiyu's acting aka Arthur Chen I gave it a shot and was hooked from episode one onwards!WDBTD focuses on Sima Jiao, a powerful cultivator, and his fated love aka cultivation partner - Liao Tingyan.
Sima Jiao, played by Chen Fei Yu, was initially a cold-blooded murderer, but he is actually a very misunderstood grandmaster. He doesn't kill for the sake of killing, he kills because he can't trust anyone outside of his circle. Too many people are literally out to get his blood because of how powerful his bloodline is. His blood helps cultivators level up in their powers hence it's very sought after to the point that they won't even let him die. He was trapped and suffered for 500 years until Liao Tingyan came into the picture. Despite his tendency to murder anyone who did him wrong, in the end, Sima Jiao learned to cherish and love Tingyan and will only care about her rather than those around him. He is both a red flag and green flag, but more thge latter than former as he learned from what he has done wrong. He's willing to change, and protect Tingyan even if it means sacrificing himself. Chen Feiyu did an amazing job as Sima Jiao, I really enjoyed his microexpressions, cheeky smiles to snarky smiles, the murderous glares, ugh you can differentiate each and every expression- it's just a chef's kiss. Someone mentioned he also acts with the way he moves as well, and I do agree that the movement he portrays ties everything together! I've been a fan of CFY since Evernight S1, and I have to say his acting has improved a lot since then! ^^
Liao Ting Yan is from the modern timeline who was thrust into this xianxia world while unconscious. And boy, this dream of hers was amazing to watch! I quite liked her character because of the way she's very nonchalant about this xianxia world. For exmaple, she doesn't care about gaining power, she just want sto live life without bothering too many people, and she talks about being overworked a lot, and needing a vacation - Her little monologues makes it quite hilarious imo. It's more funny when she uses modern vocabulary and SIma Jiao would be like, "What?" But he soaks it up with judgemental comments. With the help of Sima Jiao, Tingyan eventually grew to be quite strong and became Sima Jiao's cultivation partner. And of course, his fated love through three lifetimes. Despite her nonchalant personality, she is very sweet, and caring towards Sima Jiao. She has a strong love for Sima Jiao and it shows when she's able to pull through despite losing control of her mind and body at times. Love trumps all! I think Wang Yinglu did a great job portraying Liao Ting Yan through each lifetime. This is somewhat my first time watching her. I did saw "I Am Nobody" briefly with her acting as Feng Bao Bao - she was amazing there - and here she's a total different person. It shows she has range, and I love when actors or actresses play roles of different personalities and traits because it showcases their acting ability and what they can or cannot do. I am looking forward to more of her dramas from now on!
The drama would've been flawless in my book if it weren't for Bao Jian Feng's acting. It just seemed like the actor did not embrace his character very well - it felt like he was in a play rather than the actual character himself. I was more irritated by his acting more than the villain itself. LOOL It was very much like a typical old school xianxia villain type acting.
Overall, I quite enjoy the story, and the love story between Sima Jiao and Liao Tingyan. It would be amazing if they continue another lifetime in the modern timeline and finally settle down and have children. ><
Happy ending? Yes and no, more so of an open ending since they met up in real life but one doesn't know the other so it's like they're starting over again.
Would I recommend? Definitely if you enjoy watching romance, fated love, xianxia dramas, and transmigration - go for it! :]

When Power Bows to Love — A Tale of Strength and Surrender
Let me tell you, I seriously started watching this C-drama just for the ML. 😅 Of course, with the number of episodes, it did feel a little tormenting at times. But I actually liked it — the period setup, the cast, the cinematography — everything gave me that nostalgic “Alchemy of Souls” vibe I’d been missing (though it can’t really be compared).There were moments when it felt a bit dragged, like they could’ve gotten to the point sooner, but it didn’t bother me much since the humor kept things light. Honestly, my mind stayed glued mostly because of that ML smile — he portrayed his character with such grace, majesty, and quiet power right till the end.
The FL did equally well; no regrets watching this one. What stood out to me most was how the ML, being this all-powerful sorcerer dominating realms, would throw away everything — power, principles, even his life — for the woman he loved. It perfectly captured that idea: “A hero would sacrifice you to save the world, but a villain would destroy the world to save you.”
That’s exactly what this drama was about. And that’s what made it worth it.
