Boring
Love Never Fails is another stylized xianxia with no new ideas - a stoic ML, a childish FL, immortals - good, demons - bad, and so on. I didn't expect much from it, but in the very least, I expected to be entertained. That wasn't the case here.
Hong Ning is a flower demon. Jin Xiu is an immortal who must restrain his feelings. She wants to be his queen and seeks immortality while he struggles with his growing feelings for her. It sounds like a promising start to an epic love story that will transcend time. Instead, I had to sit through episodes of immortal beings acting like two awkward teenagers running circles around each other with nothing much happening otherwise. The writers spent too much time trying to create a not-so-funny comedy, instead of writing an interesting plot with compelling characters. I really liked Liu Xue Yi in other dramas, like In Blossom, but here his character fell completely flat. FL was pretty forgettable too. I found nothing interesting about this drama to continue watching past episode 6. Pass.
