I really wanted to come back to Immortal Samsara and LLTG but I caaaan', I caaan't! there are reasons why I stopped watching them and I can't make myself finish them, I dont know what to wwatch *siiigh* This drama oficially ruined every other drama for me...
I can finally do something like a review for this amazing gem of a drama! I clearly remember the moment I feel in love with ot and it consumed my thoughts - it was ep. 9 when DFQC showed a power that we neeeever see from a ML, when the most magical first kiss happened and they used a mix of an ethereal BGM and the most beautiful song from the entire OST- The Other Side. That music captivated me so much, it honestly surprised me, I was like "wait, what am I watching, why it is so good, can this be real? Is there reeaaally such an otherworldly drama ? Is this finally it?!?" I was totally unprepared for this, it caught me in my pyjamas late at night, I was just giving it a reluctant chance because Immortal Samsara was somewhat dragging but I was totally going to return watching it, wouldn't I? Right?Right???? But that moment, when he slowly went to her in the depth of the lake, like a big dark shadow, like a creature from somewhere else but with such a bigger than life aura, with a presence like an underworld prince learning about another life form that he finds so confusing but so tempting to just...taste...I was afraid to replay that magical moment for fear that the dark magic would disappear the second time but...alas, I replayed it a hundred of time and was totally converged as a fan of only this.one.show Honestly, from first ep it was evident that this drama is different. Every xianxia we have ever watched has the same setting and art design, same tropes, same costumes of the actors, same world-building...it repeats itself and repeats and repeats and repeats. Neither Love and Redemption, nor Immortal Samsara or Ancient Love Poetry escaped from this cycle of dry well-known overall concept...when we think of xianxia we think of the white robed immortals, the same old white big Heavenly realm hall, the demons, the bound by inner suffering ML aaaand the not so good CGI. LBFD just completely overturned this with new art design, original places, different colors used, even different hand gestures when using their immortal power! This is not just light or dark smoke, it was a s serious level up, more dynamic and colourful. The interior of the Moon Palace was not just the same as the heavenly Realm but darker, it was a different style, a ClEARLY different culture. It looked like the palace of a powerful sultan, of a desert ruler that has the world's most opulent treasures. And the clothes! The clothes were so well made, especially those of DFQC and the dresses of the FL after she went to the Moon Tribe. So intricate and majestic. The headpiece, the metal decoration on his battle clothing .so original! Like nothing before, I thought in xianxia they would never support artists' imagination and ideas but this was like they turned some young artist's amazing sketches i to reality. It was like a high fantasy Western show good, it escaped the genre's self-imposed boring norms. I see a big part of the budget was put into giving life and making the creative ideas real and as beautiful as they were on paper. Complete freedom of talent! The music was what elevated many scenes and gave a soul to the plot. Sooo good songs and melodies! The lyrics themselves could make you feel the enotions of the characters. Especially in episode 31, as the sun was.coming up and he was taking her to see it ,.the song was telling their story in that moment - Would you give your whole life for this infatuation dream tonight? Telling the message that the sweetness of love is the deepest desire of every being for which they would sacrifice I also absolutely loved the acting! Havent watched Dylan nor Esther before but they put so much emotion in their roles. In the last episodes especially their talent shone through, there were heartfelt and soo realistic scenes that conveyed the inner world and sometimes devastation of the character. Im praising Dylan the most, for such a young actor he created an unforgettable Dong Fang Qin Cang and set a standard for MLs! One negative thing - the HE was cut short, they tried to appease us by a series of kisses. For every emotion, for every scene, there was a specific kiss in the last two episodes, they stopped with the words, who needs them lol
Again ,incredibly beautiful illustrations, special effects ..it turned into a fairytale, not a normal tv series but something out of a magical story. For me this is the best Xianxia ever created, no doubts, it's a new genre all in itself and is the greatest love story in C-dramas till this moment
Do people think Can Lan Jue is going to make people more interested in this drama or less? Worried it's stealing…
I was eying this drama even before the release of LBFD because I like "vilalin" MLs and am drawn to good and original costuming and art design and a darker feel. LBFD turned out to be sooooo good but it's a separate drama, I dont see how they will affect each other. Maybe only in a positive way like in my case - I want a similar ML and am (im)patiently waiting for the next gem of a story ( I hope so!). But they are very different still so Im excited for this, I dont really like too much comparing
I know the ML here from Ashes of Love and while I didnt like his character there I did think his acting was great. And in the stills I see from this drama he looks soooooo different from AoL, so Im pleasantly surprised, he looks very good as Tan Tai Jin! And Bai Lu also looks like she would totally be a fitting FL foe this drama
Goodbye, My Princess made me listen to its OST for like ..a year already :) It was too good, soooo beautiful and…
Omg 😅 I mean, Im sure we grow as people from these experiences, it's a forbidden fruit and youll love it for the most part ...im sure. Only when you're ready and take care! Im with you!
Goodbye, My Princess made me listen to its OST for like ..a year already :) It was too good, soooo beautiful and…
I was avoiding for years, it was the most tempting but fear-inducing drama for me....finally I watched it and I...survived 🙂, now I think about it soo often, it leaves a trace in you
Goodbye, My Princess made me listen to its OST for like ..a year already :) It was too good, soooo beautiful and…
Yes, the gut wrenching OSTs are just the best, they tell of long-forgotten story, in a world far away and hold so much painful but beautifull feelings..ah If you havent watched these dramas I advise you to watch them, they were very original, especially good was GMP ❤️ be prepared and watch in a good emotional state only , good luck 🤞
Currently so obsessed with the ost, it's on repeat since yesterday. Which dramas do you guys think have some of…
Goodbye, My Princess made me listen to its OST for like ..a year already :) It was too good, soooo beautiful and emotional! ❤️
Also, the opening song from Bloody Romance. Like - painfully beautiful, it tugs at my heart still, it makes me feel soooo many feels ❤️ i just heard it in my mind and shivered, omg Im really into sad OSTs ,they hold more power and beauty
So what now that it's over? What to watch after this ??
I think I will basically spend my time replaying the kiss in ep. 35 and coming back to this feed just to read how much people love the drama, that would feed my primordial spirit for now 🙂
Someone plant me until a new good drama comes. Hope its not after 500 years 😭
