The characters and story were not very memorable.
To be honest this was the first Chinese TV show I ever watch and it is very average not that good if I am being honest.What saved this show was the good actors, the good music and the good lighting. It's not something I would ever watch a second time.
The action scenes were good but I feel like the characters were not developed enough and it was hard for me to care for them or love them.

I just wanted to finish it and for it to end in the last 10 episodes.
I don't know this show started out strong but towards the final 10-12 Episodes it got super boring and I wanted it to end.The episode where the boy calms down because he feels the main female lead is calm and they both like each other was powerful and good. The main male lead notices this as well and he concludes ai translation does lack human emotion and they conclude that human translation can be good in some situations and AI translations can be good in other situations and both are necessary. This is the best way this should could have ended.

Xin Mei and Lu Qian are well written characters
So I'm 30 years old and this is only the third Chinese Show I've watched in my entire life and out of all three Fate Chooses you is by far the best. I like the story they reveal character motivations and back stories slowly not all at once it is evenly spread out amongst episodes.The fight scenes are beautiful and intense, the sets are beautiful with good lighting. I love how the immortal sects, humans and demons all have good people and bad people in them this makes the story more believable and not black and white.
Most of all I love Xin Mei's character she is a feminine women. Xin Mei's braveness to stand up for people who are weak and suffering is very appealing to me. I am born in the West and in the West we don't write good women characters like this any more, nowadays it's just a bunch of arrogant and rude feminist women protagonists that hate men. Also Mr. Lu Qian's character is also very likable he grew up with a bad nature and bad environment but he tries to fight against his bad upbringing to be a good person I love characters that try to do what is right and have morals.
The one thing I am saddened is physical media like DVD is not an option for this show because I love rewatching shows and owning a real copy I can keep in my house. The only way I can get a physical copy is from people who pirate the show but I don't want to give them my money. This is a little unrelated but I hope there is legal DVD options for Chinese Shows in the future so we have another way to support the people who created the show besides streaming.

Slow and steady
very slow paced but they do seem to be introducing the character's back story and their motivations which could potentially be worth it for the later episodes. We will see. I like characters who are naturally good and think for themselves instead of being told what to do so I will complete this show I just need time to do it.Was this review helpful to you?
