[XinXia] [Enemies to Lovers - Cursed love with NO redemption]
I watched this after Love Between Fairy and Devil because I saw the comparisons of DongFang Qing Cang and TanTai Jin...so I watched it to compared the two Devil Gods....they are both loved equally...I am sorry. HOWEVER, the main FL, Li SuSu is the most frustrating character if it weren't for TanTai Jin I would of dropped it. He carried the drama hard. It gives the Devil God who didn't have a choice but to be born "evil" he goes through all this tribulations in the mortal realm because he is supposed to be the DG. Can you imagine the pain and infliction a human must have to endure that? He is pitiful and shameless but you can't help but root for him. If you love seeing the ML to receive injustice, be misunderstood over and over, hated on, betrayed, hurt, mistreated and have not a lick of redemption...this is for YOU!Luo YunXi's acting in here is amazing, he really dives into all of his characters he plays in this drama (Ming Ye, Taitan Jin, Jiu Min, and the Devil God) effortlessly. They are ALL distinguishable and great. His micro expressions with his eyes are quick and impactful.
Bai Lu always does great with her role to make you feel something on the screen. She serves all her roles without dropping a sweat. She played Li SuSu well, however, a very distasteful character at that.
[SPOILER]
The two main leads have amazing chemistry despite the fact that I despise Li SuSu and her...literally gr8ping TanTaiJin and MingYe...twice. Is insane to me. TanTai Jin will literally go the end ends of the moon for YeXi Wu/Li SuSu...without a doubt. This Xinxia will make you feel, you will cry, you will cuss at the screen. The ending is honestly one of the worse way to honor him and his tribulations he had to go through to bring peace to all realms...there is no true redemption for Tantai Jin at all. The only person who truly trusted that he was meant to be good, and deserves to choose his own path is his master whom he was a disciple for. The fact the even Li SuSu couldn't love him and trust him enough like her uncle in insanity. I would NEVER rewatch this series again, only clips.

Awesome drama
I absolutely loved this drama and this was my first ever drama and it felt amazing to watch it. A big thank you to everyone who made this drama happen. This was a masterpiece. I would have given this drama a 10/10 but I didn’t because there was an open ending. There is no conformation that if there will be a second season of this drama, I am requesting Youku to air a second season because I want all of them to reunite as a family in the second season. But overall it was awesome and their chemistry was worth watching. They are so cute together. Hoping to see them together in a different drama in the future.Was this review helpful to you?

best cdrama of all time.
THE BEST CDRAMA IN XIANXIA OF ALL TIME. TTEOTM is one the first cdrama I have watched and this one is my first drama starring BL and LYX, and I could say their chemistry pretty much clicked.what I literally quite like all of the elements: production, plot, acting, cgi, ost — these hit me really hard in the heart once you get deep into it. PLUS thr character development?? I LITERALLY CRIED MYSELF AT TANTAI JINS STORY. LYX acting was on point too! tantai jin may appear ruthless, hollow — a demon. BUT once you really know the story, you would soften for him. NOW, on how the fl and ml progressed throughout when ml was still locked or powerless, i really liked the pacing of fl; the effort. cause naturally, ml is cold towards flmat the start but eventually warms up.
I dont really remember much as I'm writing this review in 2026 when I watched this in 2023 lol ( yes i dont rewatch dramas, not even 1 drama💔) but overall, I would keep recommendng this drama. Even though it has been almost 3 years (2023-2026) since the drama was aired, i think none could compare — not even in the slightest, for me. Cause TTEOTM hits hard especially when its one or the first cdramas you watched, it sets the bar HIGH .

A drama that will never leave your mind.
I thought I knew what I was signing up for when I first started this drama. I had never been so wrong.I had heard countless of reviews and recommendations for this drama and since I was having a hard time moving on from LGIEF, I had decided to give this one a shot after having put this off for so long since I heard about the ending. I thought I had prepared myself mentally enough to face the ending when I reached it but I still cried like a baby when I got there.
The story itself is something I had never seen before and it leaves a lot of hints at the beginning of the drama that you would never understand until you reach the ending and realize just how everything was so well planned and thought out. The two main leads are also so breathtaking in terms of visuals and also acting. Luo Yunxi played Tantai Jin so well and it had my heart physically ache for him while Bai Lu was so ethereal as Ye Xiwu that although I know I should be a little mad at her for always misunderstanding Tantai Jin, I just can’t blame her at all.
I did find the Dream Arc to be quite stretched out and I feel like it could’ve been 3-4 episodes instead and it almost made me lose interest and drop the drama. Thankfully I decided to push through with it and I’m truly glad I did because in the end, I ended up really caring for both Ming Ye and Sangjiu and really rooting for them. Still could’ve been shorter though which is why I deducted a point in the story rating. As for rewatch value, although I did love the drama , I don’t think I can put myself through that pain again HAHAHA but who knows maybe in the future I might just because I love them both.
The OSTS are also beautifully made and really fit the drama and scenes in which it were used. It really elevated the drama to another level and it is still saved in my playlist. Kudos to Luo Yunxi and Bailu! They were amazing and the VFX effects were also spot on. I had finished the drama during January of 2025 and I still haven’t moved on from them even though months have already passed.

JUST WATCH IT!!
First of all, I don't ever watch these costume dramas. I just put it on because I couldn't find anything to watch, and I let it play in the background while I did my homework. This is one of the best shows I have ever watched, and I have watched a lot of Cdrams and Kdramas. This is giving a mix of little "Scarlet Heart Ryeo and Alchemy of Souls" and much more. This one will change your mind even if you say you don't watch costume dramas. You know a show is good when you finish watching it, you look up the actors and try to learn about them, watching TikTok edits.Was this review helpful to you?
The story is not as good as the cast and their acting
1- these dramas need to cut short to 30 or less because there's always alot of unnecessary scenes and side characters, i like the less the better or they should be likable2- the couple is so good that I decided to watch this even when I don't watch this genre
3- story is just ridiculous
4-when y'all writing so much suffering in ml life why don't give them a good or happy ending?
5-many cdrama are not satisfying as others ,the author really doesn't know what audience likes
6- too much blood spitting way too much even more than anime it reminded me of anime but even in that it is less it ends atleast this one happens so many times and it's hard to watch and even they say main dailogues with blood on face 😭how to watch that
this drama portrayed negative emotions well it has more sad vibe than happy
i decided to give this 10 after watching their BTS , it reminded me it has alot of good parts , not just bad ,it has both of them and I focused on the bad more since I'm always watching kdrama or other they have happy ending so I was disappointed by this ,i like that even if it has bad parts it actually has alot of good scenes, good romance,and less side characters story focus more on mc , and I really like the 2nd couple part they play where FML is sang jui their story was perfect there sad it was just a dream 😭 outside dream story is good too but just with 0 development of characters ,till the end the misunderstanding ...
10 for actors but 1 for the story writing,so much poorly written, i have never seen this kind of ending in fantasy story,the devil wasn't the devil but others were more devil including the female lead , the plot is so much repetitive, romance is like salt sprinkled, there more action,war, bullying, dying,than the actual romance,also they argued and hated eachother more than loving eachother this is shown more,the amount of time they die and still survive?and FML never trust ml until the very last chp only in mid last 10 she did,i only watched because I liked the actors if I was reading MANWHA which has plot like this i dropped long in the start,every character dies literally the mc dies 3-4 +times ,if he turned normal why he becomes devil again ? that doesn't make sense if he was fated to be devil then why the time travel and change him for what the past repeats ,only she survive rest die ? and he dies is what changes ,poor guy even changing he couldn't live , i though of dropping so many times because it was repetitive i thought atleast ending would be good the story is mainly of 20 eps the other 20 is same thing repeated, this could've been better if the misunderstanding was less , you can't drag misunderstanding literally till the end ?, i actually like the the story but alot part was badly written and was repetitive and could've given them a happy ending i don't even understand what happened at end , the story is really touching,it got me teary many many times because they fight so many times and always sacrificing for eachother so many times also they die many times ,it is normal only 10% for a while then they start fight,argue ,hate ,this is 90% story , I wish the romance was more and better it okay to start with love hate but it should end ? already not to drag till end
my favourite couple, i liked their other drama so watched this only to see this kind of ending? this is hard to re-watch i would definitely re-watch their other drama, The amount of times I have changed the rating of this I also feel both love and hate like the drama for this , the romance was good,goes good but suddenly the opposite? suddenly they're hating and dying, and ending is also shit , I had expectations from this but the story is ridiculous

best xianxia drama of 2023
honestly watched it because im a diehard fan of bailu! her acting here was great, as well as the ml! their chemistry is really amazing, same as when they acted together as the main leads in "love is sweet". this xianxia drama was overall quite touching, how the fl was actually seeking revenge on the ml yet the ml falls for her and their relationship deepens. their wedding scene was literally my fav part of the show and the saddest i think? i'll try not to spoil it im sorry lol. i honestly wouldn't want to rewatch it since the drama is quite long like 40 eps long, took me a week to finish. i would def recommend this for those who watched "love between fairy and demon" since idk why i find these 2 dramas pretty alike.Was this review helpful to you?

The never-ending push-and-pull
Finished it — 7.5/10.All 40 episodes in a few lines:
Her: “He’s evil. I hate him."
“Wait… he is not. I love him.”
“Actually, he is the devil lord. I hate him."
"He doesn't want to become one tho. I love him."
“umm.. you know what? guess I still have to kill him and save the world.”
Him: “Please just kill me. I love you."
The drama was good enough to not drop it. the second half bored me so much. Starting from 23-25 th episode it got so messy. Too many exhausting flashbacks and way too much push-and-pull. All that for what? A ending like that? Ugh
The music, costumes, CGI, acting, and cast were all really good honestly, almost everything worked except the story, which is kind of the most important part.
A decent one-time watch, but if I had known I wouldn’t end up liking it that much, I probably would’ve skipped it.
Just not for me ig.

one of the best fantasy dramas to have ever been produced
Once you start watching it you won't be able to stop , The amount of scope it has is unrivaled by any other drama like It has everything : heartbreak, angst , romance ,betrayal , unpredictable story line , the CGI and the visual effects are top notch , the screenplay and the cinematography is of high quality , it has incredibly high production values with excellent costumes and set design and the Osts are pretty satisfying to hear .there's a strong cast of actors who put on tremendously great performances .you'll hate some characters to the point you want them to die and you'll love some characters so much that you wish they should live forever but they'll die suddenly , the chemistry between all couples is insane.
I highly recommend it , it’s one of the best fantasy dramas to have ever been produced .

I never liked a drama like this except for view
I was only curious about thos drama cause it was so popular back then. And i watched it on-going. Believe me i rewatch this for like, five - six times already. Bcs of thia drama, i become a fan of Luo Yunxi. Big applause for him and his acting. The effects and cinematography are top notch. I love the world building & the relationship between characters. One thing that let me down was, i hope ye xiwu / li susu would trust Tantai Jin more so the unnecessary misunderstanding wouldn't be there. I rarely watch cdrama. Rarely finish one till the end episode without skipping. This is one of the cdrama that i finished watching without any skip, along with Reset, Go Ahead, and Hidden Love.Was this review helpful to you?
