THE MOST DRAMATIC COUPLE!
I finished this yesterday, and it feels so empty now. I still can’t believe it’s really over… Mingyi is so pitiful, but Jibozai suffered even more. He didn’t even know that his savior was the one who abandoned him before. Poor Ji Bozai… Please, bring back my days with MINGZAI the most dramatic couple in the world!Every scene gave me that constant butterfly feeling… I was so excited every day waiting for each new episode. And now that it’s ended, we’ve parted ways. I really love this drama, but somehow the ending feels like something’s missing… yeah, that’s right — it’s TOO SHORT! Ahahahaha!
Hao said he wants to collaborate with Yuxiao again, and I really hope that happens soon in the future. Thank you for all the wonderful days, MINGYI x JIBOZAI.

TRULY EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS!!
I started it because I really loved the chemistry of both ML and FL, and wanted to see more of them. Their acting goes beyond my rating scale and I could literally feel the emotions portrayed, bypassing my screen and reaching my heart and eyes. It happens for very few dramas. For the first few episodes, I will agree that I couldn't keep up with the storyline, everything felt so overwhelming and confusing. Like they were trying to build mystery but was very much scattered. I would like to pass it because during this time, the way they built all the side characters and all, was truly commendable. It is like I can watch any episode as standalone. Every episode will be like a whole package in itself.The OSTs, the costumes, the background sceneries, everything was on point. The dialogues and their perfect execution is the key to this drama's success for me. I personally loved their spirit animals, their friends at Jixing Abyss, Ming Yi's (FL) father and ML and FL ofc! It was such a heart-healing drama, like even though there was a cruel plot cooking at the backend, the drama never let go of it originality and wholesomeness. I was really disappointed when Ji Bozai (ML) couldn't recognize Ming Yi as Ming Xian even after so many episodes and hints, like how can a ML be so dumb!? But then I completely understood the whole point and storyline after that. It was just a different form of love they had each for each other and at times, I would fail to understand its depth but once understood, it will truly well up my heart.
The whole drama is like a vintage wine which just gets better with time (more episodes). I think after ep 20, you will truly fall in love with the drama and its characters and storyline. Because till then, all the characters and sub plots would mainly be set in place, and now you'd have got complete picture of all the plots in the drama. There are very subtle plot twists and revelations, not your usual "it blew my mind" moments. Also, what makes this drama different for me is: Firstly, the first drama where I have actually seen FL being in so much pain and sacrificing herself for the hero, usually its the opposite. Secondly, there is no such concept of hatred between them. They both are in themselves such strong and independent characters, so wisely acted out their roles. There was no unnecessary or immature or dragged out scenes. Everything made sense and even their childish moments or be it their starting "husband-wife pretending" moments, they were so fun to watch. Thirdly, not any of the good side characters die at the end, it was in true sense a happy ending which is very rare in chinese historical dramas, where usually side leads are killed or sacrificed at the end to bring out sympathy or provide a melo end to the drama. But here I was truly happy with the ending.
It was truly the justice served right. I loved how all evil characters met their doom one by one, and what a powerful message the whole drama portrays. More than sacrificing yourself for the lover to save the world, you both should together save the world and live together or die together. It didn't glorify sacrificing oneself for the lover but taught us a different way where both ML and FL can trust each other and the capabilities, and are willing to join hands together. Like it was such an inspiring and comforting moment. Overall, I personally loved the characters' chemistry, the humor, the war scenes, the pain, the sacrifice portrayed, the emotional depth and so many micro-lessons from every episode. It gave me a whole lot of memories and happy moments. Truly a comforting and dopamine-boosting drama! Be patient, trust the storyline and the plot, you will automatically get connected to its characters and will really enjoy such a wholesome and heartful drama.
LASTLY, I LOVE ML AND FL CHEMISTRY, THE OSTS, THE PLOT AND THE ENDING!!!

Two tricksters becoming the ultimate couple to ride or die together
How to review a drama, that left you more than a little star struck, because it was just that good?Where to begin?
A central part of my elation about the show is based on the excellent acting shown by both main leads but also their supporting cast. HMH often gets prejudged because of his extraordinary handsome face. Yes, he’s good looking. But so are most of his acting colleagues.
And there is a reason, he more often than not outshines the leads, if he is only cast as a supporting act in a production.
He gives his all while acting, and acts through his eyes, his mimics, gestures, body language. And can switch between a decadent lascivious persona, a ruthless calculating cold or a warm loving personality seemingly effortless. It is a joy to watch when he unfolds his skills on screen.
And our female lead LYX was a match for him in acting skills and chemistry!
Add the performances of the supporting cast into the mix and it deserves well 10/10.
The storyline and the multiple character developments made sense and progressed at a good individual pace well balanced between main and supporting characters without delay from start to finish. I loved, how they connected vital moments during their journeys in replays to either show the development and final conclusions or their steadiness in feelings and positions.
The CGI was a mix with moments I would have loved to see on a big screen in a cinema, and parts, where the deeper background reminded me of older animated movies. LOL. But these were negligible flaws in my book.
Overall the visuals were stunning and beautiful to watch.
** Potential spoiler **
A word about the final villain:
He might not be the most charismatic villain in drama history, but his story arc was well written and executed. So no loss I my opinion.
While I increasingly despised his character with a passion and was satisfied with his ending, I still appreciated the moments of grace shown towards his character by our main leads, especially by the female lead. It was deeply human and honorable and a wholesome part of the storyline. Thank you, writers.

I would give my soul to experience this all over again
I've never watched a drama whilst ig was still airing but I couldn't stop myself for LITC and I DO NOT REGRET IT ONE BIT 🙏Honestly speaking I was glued to my seat from start to finish, the chemistry between HMH and LYX was so captivating in every scene, and everytime I would be on the edge of my seat waiting for the next time we saw a scene with just the two of them. As someone who's watching past works from both leads, LITC was a whole other level!!! I've never felt so attached to my drama lead characters in my life, feeling their pain and love so deeply 😭 but LITC made me feel like I myself was falling in love just from watching the leads dance around each other and evolve alongside one another. Simply put, the romance in this show was different from other types of romances I've seen in dramas, while theirs did start from a fake dating setting, it grew past anything I had expected, and by the end of the show, I felt like a proud parent who had watched their child achieve the impossible. Also, I'm always a sucker for an every matched power couple, and that's exactly what Mingzai are 🥰, they don't just match each other in raw strength, but character, and I love them so much for how far they've come by the end of the show.
Not to mention, the settings of the scenes were all so GORGEOUS, I'd give my life savings for a tour around the entire of the 6 realms if it existed XD.
Costume department also absolutely knocked it out of the ballpark, every outfit was so beautiful, and Ji Bozai, especially, in his dark, elaborate clothes...🤭 The contrast between Ming Yi and Ji Bozai in their outfits was straight up ethereal to me, and they never cease to take away mg breath when they debut in a brand new outfit! The costume department were honestly like fairy godmothers in this, I am not even joking 😭 I have no idea what they're on, but I need it.
Lastly, the cast beyond our leads were also absolutely delightful and might I say, fine eye candy themselves 😉, by the end of the show, I'd grown to appreciate and love the dynamics between the cast. Every person has their part to play and they don't just stay stagnant, but develop alongside the cast, and the actors just really did a great job fleshing out their characters and endearing themselves to me, each in their own, special, unique way ❤️
TLDR; This whole experience (of watching) was simply breathtaking and I hope everyone gets to enjoy this as much as I did. This show will definitely be staying among my top 2 for the rest of my life, I don't doubt it. To anyone reading this, please give it a try or a chance if you've dropped it!!

Not your typical fantacy series
I usually am not a fan of fantacy series because of too many visual effects and unrealistic background sets, but this one was different. The visual effects were kept to a minimum required, and there was not too much of water and fire flying in the air and unrealistic colors and things like that :))the story was interesting and the acting was very good too. The ending was satisfying for those who like triumph of good against evil type of stories.

NOT CLICHE BUT!
finally i finished litc and this drama ABSOLUTELY one of the best drama in this year (so many good dramas airing this Q3 im gonna cry), the acting the chemistry on top, i wont comment about that. But i'll comment the production, huft ik that there are some troubles about the production like from changing the director at the time of filming (cmiiw?) then it affects on the story and what i found some edits not clear enough. From the start the story is solid, but then at the end of the episodes there are some clues that suddenly it comes? (i guess that's the effects of episodes that shorten from 40 to 36). SOOO this drama would be more more perfect if its not rushed, it's fine to take a time for a while and airing next year (i'll wait). And yeah, i read the novel and it's kinda feel diffirent about the world building some fights that don't come up in the drama. But for me, THAT'S OKAY cause w this drama we come to the new plots of xianxia dramaWas this review helpful to you?
Attention grabbing drama
I don’t normally go for fantasy wuxia dramas, but this one grabbed my attention and didn’t let me go. (From start to finish binged in 3 days.)A lot of cute moments between the main leads especially in the beginning which was refreshing. So much to giggle about. The chemistry between the main leads was really good. And the acting felt real. Didn’t take me out of the drama.
The visuals were amazing. The special effects looked very good compared to other similar storyline dramas. Not to mention the costumes. Those were really pleasing to look at with the makeup and hairstyles.
The storyline was strong. A lot to enjoy, but unfortunately i thought the last episode was lacklustre compared to the beginning of the drama.
In conclusion, a very good drama to watch. Plenty of comedic moments. A lot of romance. With some tearful moments. Would recommend.

I Tried One Episode for Fun and ended Up FINISHING THE WHOLE THING!?
I usually don't watch historic chinese dramas just cause the effects are sometimes so fake or there is too much history, BUT let me just say. OMG. This drama was worth every second of my time!? I saw an edit on tiktok and then decided to give it a chance, and watched one episode. Soon I was on the next episode, and so on, and then I finished it in 2 days!? It's so good!! I loved the acting, and the instrumental music. Truly a master piece. I suggest you all give it a chance, you deef won't regret it! The main leads had such good chemistry, and their eyes acted so well too. I love when an actors eyes says everything you need in scenes, and that's what this drama was like! LOVEEEEE!Was this review helpful to you?
