My absolute favourite for 2025 (Unbeatable until I change this title)❤️✨


Among all the dramas that blend this unique mix of genres—fantasy, romance, and wuxia—this one for me rose above the rest.
Well!! Yes!!! Till the End of the Moon had its charm but it suffered a lot from repetition, 🫤 Back from the Brink left me unsatisfied with its underwhelming and tragic ending,😔and The Blossoming Love's magic is being compromised in the middle episodes. 😕

But this drama felt very consistent from the beginning to the final scene. 😁
Every element was well-crafted and it became an experience rather than just a show.



🌸🌸🌸🌸 But before I begin—a big shoutout to 🎙️ Sa DingDing 🎙️ for the ethereal background score “Flower Falls Without a Trace” — currently my ringtone and fits perfectly to the mood for this story.
Her voice is like blessings to the audience's ears
🌸🌸🌸🌸



1) Plot – Smooth as Silk, Gripping Like a Spell 🪄

The story flowed effortlessly—no dull patches, no unnecessary fillers.
It maintained a steady rhythm, unraveling one event after another while gracefully introducing new and intriguing characters. 🏄‍♀️

There wasn’t a single moment when I felt like pausing, skipping, or even considering dropping the show.
It held me captive in the best way possible and every episode left me wanting more. 🤌



2) Characters – A Tapestry of Purpose and Emotion 😌

Yes, the series had a long—very long—list of characters.
But not a single one felt unnecessary on the screen.

Each character was like a brushstroke on a grand canvas —distinct, meaningful, and deeply connected to the larger picture.
They weren’t just names in the script; they felt like real people with real emotions, and every one of them left a mark. ✨

My personal favorites:

Bai Shou ❤️❤️❤️ – The perfect blend of light and strength.
She was cheerful, kind, intelligent, and incredibly rational. Never annoying, never weak.
Despite being human in a world ruled by gods and demons, she kept rising—steadily, powerfully—until she became the strongest of all.
A truly inspiring character. 🤩

Fan Yue 🌙– The quiet storm. Bf
On the surface, he seemed arrogant and aloof, but underneath, he was gentle, fiercely loyal, and deeply protective.
Whether in politics or personal affairs, he stood like a pillar—calm yet unshakable. 💜💜

Bai Xi / Fu Ling – Oh, my heart.
A demoness, a sister, a soul weighed down by tragedy.
It’s rare to feel sympathy for someone who has taken lives, yet I wept for her. 😢😢😢
Her pain, her story, her end—it shattered me. Very rare for me to cry characters' death but here I cried rivers for multiplesof you can ears characters.💜🖤💜🖤💜


Other characters like Tian Huo (guardian of Bright Moon Palace). 💕, Ling Long (fox clan saintess) 🧡, the 1000-year-old turtle 🐢 , and Mu Jiu 🤍 brought so much charm and substance.
This wasn’t just the leads’ journey—iyt was a rich, layered tale 6 even the side stories glowed.


3) Cast – A Galaxy of Talent 💫

A huge ensemble, yet not a single weak link. Each actor brought life and soul to their role, making the world of the drama feel real and immersive.

Bai Lu – My all-time favorite 😘😘, and she absolutely delivered.
Playing both the bubbly Bai Shou 🎀✨ and the composed Lord Xing Yue 🌙🏹, she managed to separate the two roles beautifully—no overlap, no confusion. Just brilliance. 🤌

Ao Rui Peng – His dual portrayal of Fan Yue 🌙 and Demon Lord Jing Yuan 💜? Heart-wrenching.
I rarely cry over character deaths—but he broke that rule. Twice.

Others who stood out:
Lu Wa (Fu Ling), Hua Sen (Mo Li), Zhang Xin (Tian Huo), and Yi Lun (Rong Xian).
Every performance added something memorable.



4) Music – A Symphony for the Soul 🎶🪉The soundtrack was simply enchanting, went straight to my playlist. 🔁




5) Costumes & Styling – A Visual Feast that fits perfectly in the mood 🪽🎀🌸

This drama had some of the most stunning costume designs I’ve seen in a long time.

Fan Yue’s look—sleek hair tucked behind the ears, paired with delicate, wing-shaped accessories🪽 —was effortlessly regal.
It’s clearly becoming a trend in xianxia (Love in a Pavilion used it too), and I’m loving every bit of it.

Bai Shou’s evolution through styling—from sweet and cheerful to the dignified grace of Lord Xing Yue 🤍🩷—was beautifully done. And Fu Ling’s shimmering facial art and floral details? Absolutely breathtaking. 🦋🦋


6) VFX & Action – Refined, Balanced and blended seamlessly , nothing felt overdone or out of sync.




In a Nutshell… 😌

If we set aside Guardians of the Dafeng (since it started in 2024),
this would easily be my top pick for 2025—hands down. 🩷💜🤍💫

But if I count both?🤫
Then they stand together—side by side—like two 👑 in the same treasure chest 😘
