Amazing chemistry!
I loved this, I really did. However, I have found the misunderstandings/miscommunication trope is not my favorite. This whole drama is based on that so if that is not your thing then don't watch.Also, I lost count of which villain and storyline we were on.
But the CHEMISTRY. OMG I lived for the romance here. This cdrama has the most kissing/passion/steamy romance scenes I've seen in one yet.
Plus both of the leads are gorgeous to look at as well as the side people.
LASTLY, some of the xianxia dramas I can't get past when the people and swords start flying and it just looks cheesy and hilarious. This, however, was done right. Perfect costumes, perfect music, perfect fantasy elements that look super cool and not cheesy at all.
Although not perfect this one is DEFINITELY worth watching.

One of a kind masterpiece
This is a tale of a love so deep it transcends time. I cried, I laughed, I had my heart broken over and over again to finally having the pieces put back together In a painstakingly way.If you are wanting to watch one of the most epic love stories that will speak to your soul for forever time, then this is a must watch.
The ONLY reason I can’t give this a full 10 is because there were so many times I was SO frustrated with the FL pushing him away and not realizing how he felt. They could have saved themselves a lot of turmoil. But then again we wouldn’t have had the most beautiful 20 episodes.

A masterpiece
I don’t give out 10/10’s lightly…this one will forever live in my heart. Every part of it was wonderful. It was a unique story and the writers did such a good a job. The actors were phenomenal and had me crying in many scenes. This is one of those that I will replay over and over in my mind. Truly the perfect love story done right.Was this review helpful to you?
An emotional masterpiece
This emotionally gripping perfect masterpiece of a love story is everything I didn’t know I needed. THIS is the epic love story that I wish I could watch for the first time over…and over…and over again.Also, we all need a Bai-Jingting boyfriend. Every green flag in the world. Plus…his looks are fire.

Leads were hot plot was not
While this was an interesting and unique plot it just didn't hit for me. It got really confusing towards the end. I feel it was rushed at the end trying to explain everything and put the puzzle pieces together which left the viewer confused.But the leads were hot...
And the NC scenes were hot.
So, worth a watch if you want to see that

Loved this miniseries
This was one of the best mini series I've seen. And it's always so nice to watch the handsome Cheng Li.I usually have to skip over boring filler scenes but there really wasn't any here.
The romance, chemistry and kissing was top tier.
It also had a little reveal that I wasnt expecting that was a nice add in to the story.
This is definitely one worth watching.

A heartwarming feel good romance
This was a really cute romance. The chemistry was natural with a lot of kissing and affectionate scenes which I always appreciate in a mature adult relationship drama.The story of remembering and being in love from 4th grade and never dating anybody else is a little unbelievable. I hardly even remember who I went to school with back then haha. But if you overlook that as being weird and just accept it’s a cute, lighthearted romance, then this is a feel good drama to watch.

Heartfelt and Hilarious
One of the few dramas with actually laugh out loud comedy done right with amazing acting.At first it was a perfect mix of comedy and then pulling at your heartstrings and bringing all of the emotions. The first half was perfect.
But then it went downhill after that with being so melodramatic it completely took out any lightheartedness and comedy like it had in the beginning. Then it was just depressing and a trudge to get through.

Only loved episodes 1-12
My review is based solely on episodes 1-12. I just didn't love it as much after she was revealed and they went to the mortal realm. I have so many questions why he never learned compassion and empathy from the decades he spent the first time in the mortal realm.Also, how did she go from trying to kill him all of the time to "OK let's spend 10 years in the mortal realm together."

Dylan Wang Stole The Show
Dylan wang stole the show with his exceptional acting skills. He's hilarious, serious, emotional, villain...he is truly a versatile actor. I felt all the feels during this drama because of him.The only reason I can't give it a 10 is because I really wish they would have chosen a less annoying fl. I don't know what he saw in her. Also, I wish there had been more chemistry/romance/kissing to enhance the emotions that should come along with watching a romance drama.

The wrongs he was wronged
So like....I liked it BUT...THE WRONGS HE WAS WRONGED was really hard to get over. She made me so mad with how she treated him. Also 59 episodes was ALOT. Towards the end was a lot of unnecessary dragged out political stuff that I felt could have been shortened.Also I will be hearing SIFENG!! SIFENG!! SIFENG!! In my nightmares for awhile.

Nothing memorable for me
I might be in the minority but I honestly wasn't that impressed. The only redeeming quality for me was Nam Joo-hyuk was SO cute and adorable. This was my first drama of his I watched and he made me want to go try his others that he's in. Sure, he's not your typical "super hot swoon worthy" type but his mannerisms and smile and character make me love him so much. PLUS he does have a really nice body to look at.TW:
There were a lot of things in this that made me uncomfortable. The physical abuse and literally SEEING it happen was a bit much for me.
Also the whole weight loss thing was not handled well imo. She CLEARLY is in shape and even the Dr notes her muscle mass and healthy bmi, so why is he still pushing weight loss? This, to me, portrayed a poor image of body positivity and was pushing weight loss for an already healthy person.
Side note- I know a big portion of this was supposed to be "slice of life" for most of the characters but I honestly found a lot of the side arc boring and skipped a lot.

Pleasantly Surprised
Ok so I PROMISE if you can get past the weird 1st episode it’s totally worth it. I seriously contemplated stopping after the 1st episode. But I’m SO glad I didn’t! I was pleasantly surprised with this show. I usually skip around on boring parts in a show but this one I didn’t really. Every part of the episode was important to know for the whole story. At the end it brings all the puzzle pieces together into a nice happy ending.Was this review helpful to you?

Good first half
I’m only giving this a high rating for all the episodes before he went to prison. It was a great slow burn romance and I love how they did it with “the bad boy” and “the good girl”. But holy moly after he got out of prison he was the most verbally and emotionally abusive person. But then you would see her smiling with him in the next scene? And he never apologized for his behavior? I would have loved to see something like - After prison he was trying to push her away because he felt like she was too good for him and he didn’t deserve her- but he never explained why he was so awful and atrocious to her. And then she just loves him no matter what? I don’t like love stories where the mall treats her like crap and she still loves him anyway…But anyway the first part before he goes to prison is the only part worth watching.

Just meh
This story was just meh. Kind of slow. No humor. No kinship really. It was supposed to be more of an “slice of life” show but storylines weren’t even that interesting as well. Also what was that ending?!? Some of my favorite actors are Ji-Chang wook and Shin-Hye Sun so I had to give it a chance. Hey-sun was better in Mr. Queen and Chang wook in Healer.Was this review helpful to you?
