Plenty of kisses but I dislike FL and drama length
I was recommended this drama on reddit I think because the discussion was about steamiest scene. This is my second Liu Lan Bo drama and it is my first time watching Xiang Yun Jie.What I liked:
1. Romance - OK the FL and ML are not shy about KISSING AT ALL. Their first kiss was very spicy as it involved tongue & was done in public. Great kisses in terms of quality and quantity. The couple was also affectionate with each other.
2. ML styling - Great outfits which then elevated Liu Lan Bo's handsomeness . I like the black jacket & black wide leg trousers.
What I disliked:
1. Common arcs - I am tired of common arcs such as jealous sister, abusive ex, lost / kidnapped child. The ex got too much screen time. I wish the drama had told a different story.
2. Length - The total duration of this drama is close to 3 hours 12 min. After reaching second hour mark, it was draggy so I fast forwarded so I could mark this series as complete.
3. FL characterisation - I wasn't fond of FL as I just felt she was two dimensional despite the long duration of this drama. I don't feel like she really loved ML in her past life because of her actions. When given second chance, I felt she said she loved him because she was afraid in the past & behaved stupidly around him. To me, it felt more like gratitude because I didn't see emotional buildup of their relationship.
4. Acting - I assumed FL was 25 years or younger because ML was 25 years old. I don't like childlike / immature FL so yes not a fan of Xiang Yun Jie's approach to the character. I felt she was outshined by Liu Lan Bo's aura & acting.
5. FL styling - Not a fan of FL's clothes. Too high school-ish. However the light blue dress was gorgeous from the back and from the front she looked like Tinkerbell.
Favourite scene
When FL told ML about her dreams & they had honest conversation about their relationship

"Seal of Fire"...known for its smothering hot french kissess!!!
This drama was a unforgettable experience!!! WOW!! In the past life the FL hated the very smitten ML, she thought him hateful and arrogant, they spent a night together and she hated him afterwards-this night resulted in her getting pregnant. Over the course of that story she ends up getting burned scars on her face and body which results in self hatred. ML locks her up in his home and makes love to her every night, proving through his passion and devotion that he still finds her desirable as ever...alas she never trusted him. To blinded by self hatred. That life sadly ended tragically with her dying and him dying for her. Only then does she realize how this beautiful Male hero lived and breathed his love for her...she vows to love him as devotedly and passionately if given second chance...which it does and she did indeed get reborn in his embrace!In their second life time she redeems herself...drawing light onto the Male hero`s world, unloading all her love and passion and embracing his heart and soul in return. I found it so natural of him being so sceptic of her "sudden change" towards him, but he could not for the LOVE OF GOD resist her, despite his fears and insecurities. And his total heartbreak when she told him about their tragic past life, ah i cried buckets!!! Lanbo is so beautiful as a Male hero on-screen, i mean the charisma and sensuality this man execudes, his voice and his soulful gaze! The way he kissess his female heroines,ahhh man does he take my breath away everytime!!

It's in his kiss
Wow! What a fantastic vertical drama! It had everything... hot, steamy kisses (and French kisses at that) a great romance, let's not forget a stunningly gorgeous male lead, a female lead that wasn't too irritating especially once she was reborn, great suggestive laugh out loud scenes.All in all a vertical drama that is well worth the watch. The only thing that could have made it better would've been being able to watch it on a major streaming site like Viki with better subtitles.
If you want to know if you should watch this I'd say it's in his kiss. If you like a gorgeous male lead who isn't afraid to give a kiss (not the kind we usually see, you know the smush the lips together and pray viewers find it oh so romantic) His kisses were of French design, toe curling, spine tingling, pushed against the wall, gasping for air, the tempted to call your significant other in the room and hope they take the hint kind of kiss. Then give this one a shot you may really like it.
However if you like your dramas with a lot more teeth then you should look elsewhere. This drama is basically all about the romance and the heat.
This was my first time watching Liu Lan Bo, I will definitely be on the look out for more of his dramas.

Completely turn off by their gross kiss
The plot is actually interesting and i never disguised with kissing scene (they did french kiss but it looked so gross) by both of the leads that make me avoid their drama at cost for a while. Personally i used to see Xiang Yunjie as common actress but her image and her portrayal of Female Lead make me turn off and questioning my self if i was too lenient for her. Liu Lambo shattered my way of seeing himself as good actor even his styling was on his peak. In this drama the disgusting kisses are make me stop watch the drama halfway. Dropped.Was this review helpful to you?
