Everything in this xianxia was perfect!!!
I really really admire the fl!!! She's so so hot, sexy and pretty!!! I also super like Zhao Ming emperor styling!!! Gosh those purple long hair was suits Zhang Binbin so much! It's a crime not to have longer screentime with that aesthetic. Anyways enough of that.I love the pacing. It wasn't too fast or too slow.
I want to thank the writers for not introducing a side chick second fl who is crazy in love with ml. I'm glad they're just besties. Although the second ml was crazy too, I understand that he doesn't understand emotions or whatever. His storyline was so sad towards the end, I even cried and sympathize with him.
I love all the side characters like main couple, secondary couple, and Fate. All of them have interesting stories and past life.
I felt sad for the story arc of the girl who kept reincarnating.

SASSY saintess of the dark ❤️ NOBLE lord of the immortals
this drama had me hooked for the first 25 episodes—like, I genuinely thought I had discovered something better than the cult favorites like TTEOTM and Unchained. The storytelling, the characters, the intensity—it was chef’s kiss. But then... (sigh) someone really needed to tell the writers that less is more. Instead of wrapping it up in 30 episodes, they decided to give us filler arcs we never asked for. But anyway, let’s break this down properly because I have thoughts.1) Interesting Characters – No Basic Good vs. Evil Trope Here!
This drama didn’t serve the classic hero-villain formula; instead, it explored the angels and demons within each character. We got a main lead who starts as an immortal sect leader, then becomes a saint emperor, and finally, a demon lord (talk about career progression). The side lead? He starts off as a timid little guy but slowly reveals his morally grey shades.
But let’s talk about the real star here—our FL. She is:
✔ Sassy
✔ Smart
✔ Bold
✔ Straightforward
✔ Funny
✔ A queen who pursues her man without hesitation (no unnecessary pining here)
✔ Takes responsibility for the people she loves
Honestly, I wouldn’t be exaggerating if I said she’s one of the best female leads I’ve ever seen. And she stays consistently amazing till the very end, which is RARE.
2) The Plot – A Full Buffet of Genres, But...
This drama gave us romance, comedy, suspense, thrill, adventure—basically, everything packed into one show, and it was well-balanced. No genre overpowered the other, which is usually hard to pull off. The sweet romance and cute comedy moments were adorable. BUT…
❌ Too many filler arcs. Do I really need to know the backstory of every single character, from a bodyguard to a noodle seller? NO.
❌ Lotus of Life arc dragged on for too long. We get it. Move on.
❌ The goddess and her lover’s curse arc—completely unnecessary. I still don’t get what purpose it served in the grand scheme of things.
❌ Too many reincarnation parallels. I understood why the saint emperor, Pearl, and Fate had past lives—it made sense. But why was the royal bodyguard reincarnated too? I’m sorry, who asked for this?
And then there’s this plot hole: Xie Xuechen from the present goes back in time to help Mu Xuanling and dies, only to be saved by the Chaos Pearl. But what happens to the Xie Xuechen already existing in that timeline?? Crickets.
3) The Cast – Just Perfection
Sun Zhen Ni is already a favorite, thanks to TTEOTM, and she absolutely killed it here. Her voice modulations? On point.
Vin Zhang? Hottie alert. I’ve been obsessed with him since Rattan.
Wang Duo (Sword and Fairy) and Zhang Ya Qin (Ancient Love Poetry) added to the magic.
Special shoutout to the child actress playing young Mu Xuanling—she was insanely talented!
4) The Costumes – Fashion Goals
The Saintess of the Dark costume?? ICONIC.
Every single outfit was next-level, but the Demon Lord’s, Fate’s, and Goddess Pearl’s outfits were just wow.
The accessories? From chains to crowns—perfection.
5) OST – Small but Mighty
Unlike Guardians of the Defang and Love Between Fairy and Devil, which had an entire playlist of bangers, this drama only gave us one standout OST. But you know what? That one song was enough.
6) Set Design – Dark Abyss Was a Masterpiece
The details in Dark Abyss were stunning, and the lava valley VFX? SO REALISTIC.
That said, Snow City could’ve been better. I expected more from them on that one.
7) Why Wasn’t This in Full HD?!
I don’t know if they intentionally kept the quality low to hide set flaws, but even on streaming platforms claiming to be HD—it wasn’t true HD. And that’s a crime because I couldn’t even fully admire the details of the FL’s stunning accessories.
8) Action Scenes – An Absolute Feast for the Eyes
The first 15 minutes of the drama alone gave us a high-intensity Xie Xuechen and Mu Xuanling escape sequence. And that was just the start! Every action scene was flawlessly performed and choreographed.
9) My Favorite Takeaways
✔ Going back in time to meet your GF as a kid and getting jealous of your future self. (Peak romance!)
✔ Lip bite and love bites. Enough said.
✔ She fell hard, but he fell harder.
✔ Even after becoming the Demon Lord and suffering 10,000 years of punishment, he still couldn’t hurt her. The jealousy levels whenever he saw her with Fate?? Priceless.
10) The Ending – Satisfying, But…
They changed the course of time so that the Demon Lord never even existed because he willingly accepted his punishment. It was a good ending, but deep down, I wanted the Demon Lord to have his own closure.
Final Verdict:
This was an incredible drama that I will 100% rewatch. The first 25 episodes were near-perfect, and even with the unnecessary filler, it’s still one of the best fantasy romance dramas out there.

Fate is evil or is it?
Fate is evil or is it? Moral of this show - You can't change fate or can you?Wow. The writing in this story was just amazing. The twists and turns and how it all connected and came together. The OSR was amazing and really fit what was happening on the screen. The leads were amazing as well. There were some slow parts but the story and acting kept me watching and rarely fast forwarding. Watch this one! One of the best dramas of 2025 so far, for sure.

Why should we watch Blossoming love?
Blossoming love plot line is just perfect and exciting to watch. Male and female leads have strong chemistry so that non of any part of the drama is boring,but so thrilled and worth to watch. Female lead is perfect for the character (strong, flirting and cunning). When it combines with male lead's coldness, drama is more trilled to watch. After a long time, can have a drama with unique storyline.❤😍Was this review helpful to you?
Personal opinion but I think this C-drama is alright
Many might disagree, but I think this show is alright compared to what I've watched so far, and it also might be my own personal opinion + preference. So do not take this review to heart.The start of the show was interesting, and it might've caught my interest, but further down the show I felt it was a little bit boring as the storyline felt quite cliche to me and there wasn't anything that caught my interest. Other than waiting for the ending and seeing how it all ends, I would've dropped the show.

Love vin zhang, in almost every I’ve seen him in . Took a minute to get into this series, but now I’m hooked. Love pretty much all the characters in the series thus far. Hope 2nd ML will find his own love, otherwise things could get a sad or even bad due to inrequiteed love. FL can be a little annoying with constant chasing the ML. I know she made a great sacrifice for him the first life , even the don’t remember I guess she loves him just as much. That’s the one of the things I find rather troubling in these Asian movies/series the desperation the women usually show wanting a man so bad, even if his taken or his prior arrangement s with someone else. Sickening

Good one
The Blossom Love is a love story where a man and a woman are deeply entangled, with their births and childhoods mysteriously connected. It’s a bit complicated to explain, but after watching 10 episodes, I believe things become clearer.The male lead reincarnates twice, and in each of his lives, the female lead remains connected to him. The story revolves around love, misunderstandings, revenge, and the battle between good and evil souls.
I particularly liked the male lead’s character when he turned evil—his attitude and performance were fascinating. Overall, I enjoyed the story, but the ending was disappointing. I feel it should have had a more complete closure.

Stand and talk
Stand and talkVery attractive actors, including the well-known Vin Zhang. However, I usually quit a drama early if the lines are delivered while the actors mostly stand still (whizzing around or so-so CGI are extra). Because Zhang’s other works are good, I’ll keep watching. My favorite actors incorporate small gestures, expressions and in-hand props to increase complexity (Zhang Wan Yi) and I don’t see that yet.

Nice drama to start in 2025
I went with negative expectations into this drama. I read bad reviews here but I finally started because my fav YouTube editor said it’s good. So I thought to give a try. Initial 10 minutes I didn’t know what was happening and was confused at start. But after 10 minutes I picked up the plot and understood what was happening, it was real fun ride since then. I binged 6 episodes on official YouTube channel and I had to stop watching because of sleep. Story: there is plot, mystery , comedy and heartfelt messages. Loved characterisation of female lead a lot. She is kickass in this drama. ML is righteous but the actor portrayed very well. All the actors even the little girl bao here are top notch in acting. Some moments bring u tears especially the spirit clan excruciating pain. Once again love the FL a lot. The leads brought the story to life. Hoping rest of the drama is as good as the start.Was this review helpful to you?

Que mistureba gostosa!!!
Uma história com protagonistas cheios de química, estourando na tela, é claro que a história começa muito mais picante do que o final, afinal, a história vai tomando proporções que dificulta a piada constante, o que é até bom, é um pouco chato, quando o mundo está acabando e o roteirista fica metendo piada o tempo inteiro.Uma história dentro de outra com outra dento...
É um jornada impossível contra o universo para viver um amor... Acontece uma mistureba de conceito?! Acontece! rsrs
Uma droga de antagonista que faz a gente ter pena dele, nossa protagonista é e não é filha do vilão... Do nada mete viagem no tempo, um vilão com redenção, um novo vilão surge e depois não é mais o vilão.
E então o vilão vira o universo... e então todo mundo se uni contra o universos numa batalha do protagonista contra o protagonista, tem uns dois episódios que fica contando a história de um menino que não tem relação com nada, que viveu 10mil anos para nada. Mas bom, é muita coisa numa história só?! É, mas isso não estragou nada, porque?! por que é fantasia!!!
E eles conseguem fechar a história redonda sem ponta solta, viagem no tempo, digamos que aqui é viagem no espaço-tempo, mas bom... é viagem no tempo, isso favorece um final feliz, e quando ao menos tem coerência entre começo e fim, não tem como da ruim...
E o Bin Bin, está sensacional, SENSACIONAL... caramba!!! depois de vários dramas modernos seguidos, ele caprichou! Aqui ele é de tudo um pouco, ele é serio e integro, depois ele é apaixonado e viril, depois ele é apaixonado e bobo - ao ponto de achar que ira resolver tudo sozinho, depois ele é apaixonado e integro (no passado do passado, do passado) ai ele é mal e sedutor, para enfim voltar a ser o integro e apaixonado.
Sim... tudo isso... é Bin Bin de todas as formas... vai dizer que não vai valer a pena ver o Van Zhang de todas as formas possíveis?! É claro que vale... até sem camisa ele fica...
Bom, é isso, uma amor que luta contra tudo, um monte de clã com preconceito sobre o outro, cirando guerra, conceitos como pecados sendo retratados como o pior mal do mundo, vários beijos e cenas cheias de química e um final feliz...
Ufa.... não tinha veneno aqui kkkk ;)
Xoxo

Choisir et faire fleurir sa destinée...
The Blossoming Love est une gentille déclaration à l'amour qui fleurit sur le temps, au travers de différentes expressions. C'est un xianxia peu original, néanmoins efficace avec des personnages intéressants pour la plupart, notamment son trio principal. Cela dit, si la première moitié est formidable, l'histoire perd de la vitesse dans sa deuxième partie avant de recouvrer un léger souffle, mais échoue avec un final plat.Tout d'abord, Mu Xuan Ling (Sun Zhen Ni) qui redéfinit la séduction dans le genre. J'avais quelques craintes de la voir réduite à jouer de ses charmes pour obtenir ce qu'elle veut, mais ce n'était pas le cas. Elle flirte ouvertement, mais cela apporte une séduction nouvelle au personnage. Mu Xuan Ling n'est pas une demoiselle en détresse qui use de ses beaux yeux. À la place, c'est une femme puissante qui sait ce qu'elle veut. Sun Zhen Ni m'avait marqué dans TTEOTM, aucun doute qu'elle fait sensation une nouvelle fois, tant du côté du bien que du mal. Les contrastes entre ses personnages et sa façon de les interpréter étaient excellents. J'espère que l'industrie chinoise sera capable de lui donner les rôles qu'elle mérite, évitant de la réduire à une belle paire de jambes.
Ensuite, Xie Xue Chen (Vin Zhang), un personnage charismatique, mais aussi plein d'incompréhensions face au monde qu'il protège. S'il est un immortel sans surprise, il possède de bonnes nuances. Il est puissant, mais pas infaillible, bien qu'il se relève toujours. Malgré la déchéance du monde, il ne perd jamais espoir de le voir s'améliorer. Il reste pleinement digne de son statut, peu importe le temps qui s'écoule. Vin Zhang est un bon acteur, même s'il ne m'a jamais donné l'impression de chambouler l'écran. Néanmoins, c'est la première fois que j'ai tant de plaisir à le voir, peut-être aussi parce qu'il s'est retrouvé dans les deux camps, permettant de développer différentes facettes.
L'alchimie du couple est amusante sur la première moitié. Par la suite, c'est devenu plat, parfois répétitif, mais cela ne m'a pas dérangé pour autant. J'aime cette romance parce qu'elle s'étale sur le temps et s'avère bien plus profonde qu’une centaine de baisers inutiles.
Enfin, Nan Xue Yue (Wang Duo), l'homme qui a volé mon cœur, mais aussi la vedette. Dès sa première apparition, l'histoire change d'angle. Nan Xu Yue alimente le doute quant à ses motivations de part son calme et sa patience. Est-il aussi bon, mauvais ou neutre qu'il le prétend ? Agit-il pour le bien du monde ou seulement ses propres intérêts ? Après tout, ne faut-il pas se méfier de l'eau qui fort ? Nan Xue Yue est un personnage énigmatique captivant qui aspire toute la lumière lorsqu'il apparaît dans une scène. Je n'ai même pas honte de n'avoir vu que lui la plupart du temps… Wang Duo dépeint un personnage profond, torturé et d'une délicate sensibilité avec une palette de nuances ravissantes. De sa gestuelle à son regard passionné, il éclipse tous les hommes de ce drame pour moi. Il était fascinant de le voir évoluer, même s'il a perdu un peu de vitesse dans la dernière partie de l'histoire. Néanmoins, aucun doute que Wang Duo a offert une force unique et mémorable au personnage.
Le reste du casting était excellent, dont l'adorable A Bao (Li Zhi Mo) qui était une petite touche de douceur dans ce monde chaotique. Cependant, en raison d'un grand nombre de personnages, tous n'ont pas le temps de se développer.
L'ensemble de l'histoire est intéressante. Certes, les grandes lignes (et même les plus petites) ne sont pas nouvelles pour un xianxia, mais c'est cohérent. Cependant, voir ce qui est arrivé 10 000 ans auparavant sous la forme d'autant d'épisodes a rendu l'histoire trop longue. Les personnages sont puissants. Pas infaillibles, mais d'une telle puissance qu'il leur suffit de plisser les yeux pour faire courber l'échine de quelqu'un. Mais ils discutent. Beaucoup. Ce qui a rendu le final plat à mes yeux. En temps normal, c'est une bataille épique qui s'engage, chargée d'une lourde émotion, mais c'est l'une des rares fois où j'attendais juste le générique de fin.
La musique était sympathique, mais le thème principal a été surutilisé. Les décors et les effets étaient beaux. L'ajout des particules a rendu l'ensemble plus vivant. Les maquillages n'étaient pas parfaits, notamment ceux de Xie Xue Chen qui paraissait toujours un peu malade. En revanche, les coiffures étaient très stylisées. Les différentes broches de Mu Xuan Ling et Nan Xu Yue étaient sublimes, tout comme les chaînes en guise de mèches. Quant aux costumes, ils étaient parfaits avec de très belles couleurs, mais aussi des styles différents.
En bref, The Blossoming Love n'est pas original dans son scénario, mais connaît des personnages puissants, tant par leur force spirituelle que par leur performance respective. S'il perd de son dynamisme dans son milieu et fini par traîner plus qu'il ne le devrait, il délivre plus d'une forme d'amour qui fleurit même sur les terres les plus froides.
