So, now to my review. Imagine someone who puts together different, already existing parts of pictures and wants to paint a masterpiece, but in the end it turns out that the ‘artist’ can't really paint. That's how I feel about the result of screenwriter Rao Jun's work. What's worse, he was only 25 or 26 years old when he wrote the script. What life experience did he have to describe and explain great emotions? Apparently none! And you can see that very clearly throughout all the episodes! It's really sad for the story. So you have to watch in disbelief as the main female characters run blinded after the wrong men and commit crimes in their obsession. Men, on the other hand, are allowed to openly commit murders and other crimes because they are always pursuing a just goal. The end justifies the means, at least for men. Rao Jun, I hope your image of people, especially women, has improved 10 years later, but I have little hope.

The Journey of Flower is heartbreaking and heartwarming in a way.
It's just wow, amazing,.. even I don't have words to describe this beautiful drama.
Gu is very cute..
Sha jie jie I just love him.
Wonderful drama
Must go for it.
The Journey of Flower is one of the Great Chinese drama I've ever watched. Can't say anything other than I just love this drama. I can't move on from this, I wanna watch it one more time. Actors did a solid job, the story is also great.
Really loved this drama. I never expected to be the way it actually was. I especially loved the last episode, It was fantastic with a very unexpected ending. I really recommend it if you love Chinese drama.

Not sure. You'll never understand what I mean unless you try watching it yourself.
I'm not sure how to describe how I feel about this drama to be honest. I started watching this last year but then dropped halfway through because I was so frustrated, annoyed and felt many things I can't describe due to the fact that it looks like the drama main plot was how to torture the female lead in different ways [which is a typical cdramas theme if not mistaken] however I fell in love with most of this drama's ost so they are on my playlist until now, so last weekend, I have nothing better to do so I gave it a try again and it's safe to say, I'll probably watch this again if I'm feeling empty because I'm sure it will awaken emotions and might save me money for therapist.Was this review helpful to you?

Had lots of potential but not sure what happened.
Okay there are spoilers in this but I honestly liked this drama in the beginning. You know unique storyline for that year, great actors and the ost is really good.But there are a few things that really bothered me.
- one thing that really bothered me is the fact that Qian gu gets punished for the smallest things. While other characters such as man tian, mao yan etc kills and does things way beyond what is seen as bad/evil, yet their doings are all justified and put on qg. QG never killed or intentially wanted to or harmed anyone. Even being controlled by the great evil force. That was so annoying.
- I mean we are talking about a righteous sect yet the co leader and student does everything they’re not allowed to. Then qg does one tiny thing that gets misunderstood and gets SEVERELY punished. (…???) apparently everything she does is wrong even if it’s for the good.
- dramas are full of lack of communication issues. But this one jeez. Everything could have been avoided if they all just you know spoke their own truths and not hide it from anyone. Yeah I know it was ancient china and people weren’t as open but still. This one takes the cake for it.
- I’m not exactly sure when BZH started to fall in love with QG. The fact is they met when she was 16 and he’s like few thousand years old but looks mid 30s is a bit eh. It reminds of of goblin with the age difference. Of course you wouldn’t even know he loved her romantically until the very end. ( but the actors are similar in age so there was def an odd child/parent chemistry then lovers)
- it’s hard to tell when BZH fell in love with QG but he did care for her a lot throughout the series. I’ve seen some complaints about him not showing any emotions. However actor does a great job showing emotions through reactions and his eyes. They’re subtle but you can see the care he has for her.
- so in the beginning the master of changliu tells them they fall in love and have emotionally attachments. Well it seems like it only applies to BZH while every other immortal can. I don’t even know.
- I did like the fact that zi xun was able to turn around in the end. I mean she’s supposed to be a few thousand years old too lol. But that’s good character development while man tian just goes all buck crazy over nothing and continues going down the wrong path.
OH YEAH EVERYTHING could have been avoided if BZH accepted that he loved QG and told her. Literally if he wasn’t trying so hard to never show emotion everything could have been avoided.
- a few plot holes but I feel like that’s all dramas.
- actors and ost were excellent in this.
- I’ve seen some people compare this to ashes of love. It’s similar in that it’s a xianxia drama and that’s about it. In AOL characters show way more emotion and remorse etc.
One more thing
The journey of flower 2015 on IQIYI is the second season. Don’t even bother watching it. I did a review and yeah it’s terrible lol. Not sure wtf they’re thinking and whoever did the translations were on crack.

Forbidden love
This is my fav wuxia drama. I rewatch it regularly and listen to ost almost daily. I like raw emotions this drama stirr in one's heart.Anyway, lets get to the review. If I were to sum up the story of this drama in two words, then these two words would be - Forbidden love. I think that would indicate what sort of things will happen without the need for me to give whole story away.
In short, the hero was just and kind. His kindness became a rope around the heroine's neck. It slowly strangled all the good things, leaving behind only the debris of innocence. He only realised at the end that she was most important to him but it was too late.
Despite above words I wont call it a sad ending. In the end they did managed to live happily ever after. Well sort of. Its just that production team didnt do justice to the hero. His scenes were cut down. So his side of things werent as clearly explained. The cut scene are available on youtube. So, at the end watch them. It will make the journey better.

Actully I like this type of series in which main actriess suffers a lot of pain badly and then she becomes too powerfull and mature, so that is why I liked this drama too much.
But what I don't liked was, from starting they said that Qing Gu is Zi Hua's fathed calamity but from due to their belief mostly Xi Zun did lots of thing to kill her or created mess. Hua Qing Gu don'nt did any thing wrong . But its ok , I thing they tries to show that this was already writen to happen..

I enjoyed this drama. I think the characters are well developed, even all the side characters. The relationship of Bai Zi Hua and Hua Gian Gu reminds me of Yang Guo & Xiao Long Nu. Everyone misunderstands them, and condemns them, and in the end they cannot admit they love each other. I was BAWLING my eyes out, crying in the last two episodes. But it was refreshing to see the ending here. The other characters in this drama are complex. A lot of them ended up in misery, due to their own doing and obsessions. I can name several characters that caused their own downfall. Another refreshing aspect is that this drama doesn’t have ONE main antagonist. I was trying to predict the ultimate bad guy in the end, but was surprised about how it went about & how in the end the “bad” sect turned good!
Overall, it's a pretty good drama. I cried, I laughed, and binged watch this. I felt Zanilia and Wallace didn't have too much chemistry/romance because their characters were probably not allowed to. Even in the end, I didn't feel "it." But still an enjoyable ending.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but at the end does it sound like Sha Qian Mo would come back, maybe a season 2?

If you are into romance stories, this is a must-watch.
Wow... An amazing combination of romance, wuxia and fantasy, this is a must-watch. I place this drama in the same league as Ten Mile Peach Blossom.The story development was filled with twists, turns and revelations throughout. The double twists in the ending were both heart-wrenching and beautiful. The script writer did an excellent job with the ending. I am a sucker for the underdog - for the couple who had gone through so much denial and trials... I shall not reveal too much of it. I felt really good after watching it and highly recommend it.
I love the music pieces especially the ending theme song, and the instrument pieces written for the zither and harp. The instrument music is very calming and the ending theme song is very sentimental.
And of course, the dashingly handsome Wallace Huo definitely mesmerises. He looked so cold throughout the drama until towards the ending when he broke down and a torrent of other emotions emerged. Zhao Liying was great too - you see her character develop from a playful silly young girl into a mature smart woman. MaKe was also very outstanding with his portrayal of the demon king.

But don't worry. It does not have a bad ending.
*I think*.
I'll leave it up to you to decide whether it's a good ending or not. But for me, it was!
If you're someone who hates stubborn characters then this drama is not for you.
You'll get annoyed easily midway through the drama. They are stubborn characters but not annoying.
My review will be based on the below points:
1) Plot/story- is okay for me. It's not spontaneously great nor boring. It was a story that just made me wanna keep watching based soley on the fact of suspense and mystery that i wanted to unveil in the story.
2) Acting- AMAZING!! The acting of these talented actors and actresses has been one of the major factor that made me enjoy watching this drama. They were all spot on in portraying their characters realistically. Especially the main lead girl did a great job of potraying a strong innocent pure hearted girl.
3) Character/ roles- I love the characters. Each one of them are distinct and each has personality. I love how the drama portrays the story to the extras and second leads instead of just focusing on the two main leads.
The main lead actress character is something to look forward to because her character isn't a damsel in distress waiting for her knight in shining armor. Her character potrays a strong independent woman who has a pure heart and is willing to go to the ends of the earth to save her prince charming.
*You heard right*. She's not gonna wait for Prince Charming to save her. She's gonna save herself and Prince Charming.
The main lead guy did an incredible job of potraying an emotionless emperor of the good realm that looks after the world. I loved his acting so much to the point of hating him for his character. *You'll understand once you watch the drama*
4) Chemistry- I felt it between the leads. Their chemistry is subtle but it hit me. At first their weren't barely anything but as it went on, i got hooked and was convinced that they were real couples.
The love that these two main leads potray in the drama is a very pure selfless love. Therefore, don't expect too much kiss scenes and touching scenes. BUT despite the lack of kiss scenes, i was still so surprised and intrigued by this drama.
Conclusion
- This drama is amazing because of the suspense and mystery of the drama plot. The characters just made the drama even more enjoyable to watch and despite the lack of kiss scenes, i was still so surprised and intrigued because i love how pure and innocent their love is. I've never come across a drama that truly potrays a true innocent pure love. It's so beautiful that it made me watch the drama till the last episode.
Note that this is the first Chinese drama i have watched till the last episode without skipping. ?
