BIG DISAPPOINTMENT
It has a great cast and backgrounds and environments are excellent. What isn't? The plot and story. At first it was great. I really enjoyed the first 5 or so episodes. But then... NOTHING SEEMED TO BE HAPPENING. I started getting bored around episode 15 and after that everything became so much more frustrating.If the writers couldn't write a plot, they could at least have shaved it down to half of the episodes so it was more compact and didn't drag on too much. It's funny because it simultaneously mocks terrible plots and is one at the same time. I've watched similar shows before, it can be done well. How not to do it well? Have the characters just lounge around going to parties and stuff where NOTHING HAPPENS.
WHYYYYYYYY?!
There's also issues with the characters. Other than the ML mostly EVERYONE IS STUPID. And the second FL? I hate her guts because WARNING!!!! The second FL attempts to s*x**lly assault the ML! (That doesn't count as a spoiler, right? Just a warning?) WHAT?! And the main FL was great up until around episode 14 or 15. She wants to do good... but she's like "let's kill x!" SHE NEVER LEARNS.
I just couldn't take how STUPID all but two - and then went down to ONE - were being. AHHHHHHH!!!
SOMEONE get the producers to write a fix it for this!!!! PLEASE!!!! (Actually that could be pretty cool. A transported to another world inside of a transported to another world).

Not what I expected
Going into it, I was expecting something similar to Guardians of Dafeng in the sense of humour, pacing, and action. I was met with something different. This is a film that can sit by itself, though it would be hard to follow along if you didn't know the lore of Guardians of Dafeng.This is a quiet movie about struggle. The ending made the difference of how I viewed it - from a 7 star rating to an 8.5.
There were a few things that I was a bit confused about, namely when it was set. And if I remember Guardians of Dafeng correctly, this film might have created plot holes regarding where characters were and when.
If there ever is a series sequel to Guardians of Dafeng, I will be even more excited to watch it just because of a certain character in this I will be looking forward to seeing.
GREAT acting.
GREAT cast!!!
No Dylan Wang cameo, so don't be disappointed.
A beautiful story. 8.5 stars just because of the ending. I bust into tears.

I LOVE IT!!!!
At first I wasn't sure whether I would like this. This is different to a lot of c dramas I have watched but I quickly fell in love with this series. It has the perfect blend of amazing characters, great acting from Dylan Wang, immersive scenes & effects, and mystery. Without the silly moments which add charm to this series, this would be much much darker and the darker moments wouldn't have as much weight.This was a great watch. I stayed up a few nights just to continue watching. I REALLY want a season 2 with another lot of 40 episodes. And I can't wait for Guardians of Dafeng: No One Like Me.

BIG DISAPPOINTMENT but the acting and cast are excellent.
There is no plot. Why is the ML out for revenge (which is told in the first episode)? We don't know. I watched 11 episodes and BARELY ANYTHING seems to have happened. They're just jumping from one place to another with a kinda-motive.I watched the first few episodes with !..25x speed by accident and only barely kept watching. I kept thinking that SOMETHING would happen. It's such a shame. If there was plot this would have been epic. Especially because it's got Dylan Wang which is a great actor and the other cast members seem to do well, too, there's just no way they could show the emotional range in this drama.
I would recommend this to people who just want a slow romance and doesn't care about plot.

BIG Disappointment
I was looking forward to watching this and had it on my to-watch list for a while. Ultimately I was disappointed. The drama didn't take anything seriously for the first few episodes. It was annoying. These scenes were very stupid-silly with terrible acting - which is strange because these are BRILLIANT actors, so it must be intended that way. Finally the drama was real around episode 8.I think they were aiming for something similar to what Guardians of Dafeng did, a mix of silly and serious. Unlike Guardians of Dafeng which did it perfectly (the silly being a breath of fresh air), Love You Seven Times just got annoying.
I can't keep waiting for the good bits. I dropped it after 10 episodes.
HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT.
(The acting in the more serious scenes of Love You Seven Times was done very well. They are great actors. It's a shame the script didn't give them more chance to shine.)
