House of xianxia & wuxia dramas

COMPLETED

This was beautifully made! The CGI was just perfect. I think this drama was the first one to break through the CGI standards, and since then I've seen better CGI in xianxia dramas. ALP set the bar so high, I even heard that the female lead is the highest-paid actress in the industry and that she only accepts one drama in 4 years. It is so impressive; kudos to the casting team! Believe me, this drama is time worthy.

COMPLETED

This one had the most effect on me. I was stuck for so long and couldn't get out; even my 8-year-old brother cried watching this. The love-hate relationship was so deep, I never cried for any other drama like this one. It's also the first time I've seen Luo Yunxi in a drama too; he was dazzling. Until today, this drama still is in my recommendation list if you asked me for recommendations. 

COMPLETED 

This was so good, I watched it thrice, I think. I bawled my eyes out for this one. Yang Mi is such a good actress; not only good, she's excellent in her job. I love the plot and everything about this. I was so invested in Bai Feng Jiu and Dong Hua Dijun's side story too; they are so cute together. I love every character in this drama, and it's also the first ever xianxia drama for me. 

COMPLETED

The storyline was so-so, but the OST was so good I still sing it to this day. I'm not sure if the drama has a remake, but I've seen one with the same title, and I haven't watched it yet. However, this version is also not bad; I cried watching it too. 

COMPLETED

I watched this years ago, so I kinda forgot the storyline but the rating I noted down as a first impression after watching it won't lie. To be able to get a 6/10 from me, it must not be so good, but you can try in case it wasn't my type but could be yours.

COMPLETED

Although I don't remember much, I remember questioning the existence of this season, and therefore I didn't continue the 3rd season.

COMPLETED

This one was so-so, teacher-student relationship. It was worth it to try if you like this type.

COMPLETED

No comment, I remember nothing about this, didn't leave much impression I guess. 

COMPLETED

I waited years for this to come out; it was kinda worth the wait. It's a spin-off from Eternal Love. I love the couple so much.

COMPLETED

I remember this being so painful to watch but also very worth it. Get your tissues ready!

COMPLETED

I honestly don't remember any of this lol. I probably left me a very good impression after watching but isn't lingering.

COMPLETED 

I explained everything in part one. Just remember that it was good.

COMPLETED

My rating for this is gonna be pretty controversial lol because everyone seems to love this. This was good but didn't get me addicted; I dropped it once and picked it up again. Worth a try tho!

COMPLETED

I dropped this twice but picked it up, and it was good. The rating was because it didn't really get me hooked.

COMPLETED

This one was so-so, not so good but not bad either. I can't remember much but you can try.

COMPLETED

This was damn good! One of my top tiers, this one still lingers the way Ashes of Love did to me.

COMPLETED

I just finished this, and it was so-so; I think it's even a bit too overrated. Another teacher-student relationship. Watching this just felt like I was going in a loop.

Spoiler: You must have a lot of patience to finish this because some characters are just annoying. The happy ending was worth it!

COMPLETED

I'm writing this as soon as I finished it. It was sooo good; idk why I keep on seeing comments complaining about the plot. To me, this drama teaches us a lot about life, "good and evil". This was beautifully written for me; it's a blend of many flavors: sadness, happiness, and fun. Highly recommended. I think this is the best one so far of my watchings in 2025.

Note: I lost counts of how many times I screamed "so cuteee" throughout the whole thing.

COMPLETED 

A MASTERPIECE INDEED! omg, idk where to start, but this has again set my standard higher. The chemistry of the actors is insane. I laughed one second and then cried again the next. The CGI work was brilliant. I watched this with already high expectations due to the high amount of recommendations, but it has set my bar even higher. YOU SHOULD NEVER MISS THIS! 

COMPLETED

Tbh, I lost count of how many times I skipped. However, regardless of the ten thousand skips I did, I found it quite fun to watch; it just wasn't really my cup of tea. The storyline was beautifully written, especially the characters; they are so human. Xiao Zhan's acting is top tier; I've never watched nor followed him before, but this one got me falling deep for him. Despite skipping a lot, the storyline is simple enough for me to grasp the whole picture of what is going on; excellent acting and plot! What I love most about this were the relationships; it made the character look lively and human.

COMPLETED

I love this so much! It brought me both laughter and tears. I love that it isn't just a romantic drama but also emphasizes the relationship of the family members. The love-hate relationship between the members is the beauty of it. I love everything about it—the pain, the sorrow, the happiness. The ending is wrapped up so well; I love it, although it could have been a bit better, but this is okay. Don't miss this!

COMPLETED

I have too many things to say that idk where to start. THIS IS ANOTHER MASTERPIECE! I've never watched any drama that would talk about relationships this deep. I love the analogy of the deity-human thing with the real society of powerful and powerless people. I love that every pain makes up each character's development and that there is always a cause to a decision. Bailu's acting is insanely good; she made me believe every pain and suffering Ruyue was going through. At the end of the day, love and communication are the main concepts of the whole drama, whether it's self-love, selfless love, selfish love, or conditional & unconditional love. Any relationship would only work if there is communication; small things like 'please talk to me what you're going through; we're in this together' could save the whole relationship and heartbreak. Another thing I've learned from this is that time doesn't wait. Time will always flow the way it flows; it doesn't give us a second chance to change what we've done, so do not leave any regrets. 

I have post-drama syndrome after finishing this! I don't usually have it unless the drama is really good. It was short, but the storyline flowed so well, at the right pace and with the right amount of information for us to grasp. Sima Jiao left a huge impression and raised my standard in male leads. Like, omgggg, bro, you're so smart! The storyline might seem plain, but there's more to it once you start watching. I usually skip a lot in the dramas I've watched, but this one got me so hooked that I didn't dare to skip; only a few dramas could do this to me. I love this so much! If you're looking for something not as complicated and addictive, watch this; you won't be disappointed.

I don't wanna discredit the hard work of the production team; I know they all worked hard to produce this, but the shabby edits in the few episodes at the beginning made the first impression not so good. The sad scene was supposed to be sad, but it's not as sad anymore when you keep spotting the flaws. The edits in the mid-episodes are good tho, even better than some other dramas. The plot is so-so, more of a cliché with nothing new. One good thing about this drama is the male lead. I've never followed him, but I'm sure I've seen him a lot, and he's excellent at conveying the character's feelings. The show also has many flavors in it that make it entertaining and not boring. The characters and their development are excellent; it's like you're seeing them growing up. I wouldn't say the drama is awful, but for a 2025 standard, it's too simple, especially with better competitors. If it was released 3-4 years ago, I reckon it would be a big hit. Maybe it was supposed to be released years ago but wasn't. Overall, it wasn't so bad; it's worth a try. 

Edit: I did some research, and yes, it really was supposed to be released years ago, but there were some issues with the female lead, so they had to reshoot and do AI cuts in some scenes instead. Considering all the issues they went through, the final product came out so well then.
