From an Indian boy’s perspective—I absolutely loved it.
Let me share my thoughts from an Indian perspective—and also from a boy’s point of view, if that matters. I recently completed Dance of the Sky Empire (Hindi dubbed), and I absolutely loved it.The series features a strong male lead—Li Xuan—who genuinely loves the female lead, Su You Lian. His dedication and sacrifices for her deeply moved me. I was literally in tears during Episode 13, when he pushed Su You Lian out of the Heavenly Realm, knowing he’d be trapped there forever. And when she said that if that was the case, she wouldn’t want to leave either—it completely broke me. Their love felt raw and sincere.
Another heart-wrenching moment was when Li Xuan’s father took his own life to protect his son. That scene was powerful and emotional.
While there were a few cheesy or exaggerated moments, they’re easy to overlook. My only real complaint is the background music—at times, it leaned too heavily into metal or rock, which didn’t quite fit the historical fantasy setting. A more appropriate score would’ve elevated the experience even further.
One more thing I truly appreciated was the character of Princess Long Wei’er. She was a strong, independent woman who gradually fell for Li Xuan. I genuinely wish her storyline had been explored further—at the very least, she deserved the chance to confess her feelings. Apart from the main couple, her character stood out to me the most.
In conclusion, this drama gave me exactly what I was hoping for—a happy ending. I’ve often avoided Chinese dramas because they tend to end in heartbreak, with either the male or female lead dying after a deep emotional buildup. That kind of ending really affects me. But Dance of the Sky Empire gave me hope, warmth, and closure.
Thank you for reading this. Have a nice day, wherever you are!
