Kai Xu Min

Interesting story plot though it's just a mini series. Good to see Chen yi Xin again from My Neighbor Can't Sleep. Downside of this drama aside from being short, definitely a slowburn and lacks skinship. Highest I can give is a 7.5

Looking forward to watch this. Love both leads😍 Happy to see Zhai Zi Lu finally on a lead role. Liked him already since Lucky's First Love drama. This is quite heavy drama though. Used to watching both of them on romcoms.

Just like everyone, this is definitely the best Xianxia drama for this year. Everything is spot on...from the cast, visual effects, ost, story plot, fast pace, costumes, no super irritating villain and most importantly, a beautiful love story. Am so a Zang LingHe fan, but Dylan Wang just captivated my heart in this round.
Like every drama, there's a bit of a flaw, which is the rushed ending. Who would not want to see DFQC and Orchid have that grand wedding and kids?!!!! And yeah, more lovey-dovey and skinships. So I am also one of the hopefuls for season 2 or special post drama episodes.
Overall, this drama is super highly recommended!

Love Xu Kai Xin too. 😍 You may check out the drama In Love with your Dimples. Xu Kai Xin is the ML there. First loved him in Lovely Swords Girl though he's just a supporting role there or should I say 3rd ML.

I didn't watch season 1 of this drama and decided to check this out due to its high ratings. Story is just okay for me. Not that much interesting. Lots of draggy parts, specifically on the first quarter of the drama. Not a fan of both leads. Didn't felt much chemistry between them. This is another SML syndrome for me. I was really looking forward for them to be together as I felt more chemistry between FL and SML. Btw, LYT's character is really despicable from the start. Just by looking at her I am already irritated. She really has that look that's quite irritating to look at. Definitely this drama has a potential. Great visual effects and swordsmanship skills presented. However, the romance is just lacking. As I see it, there were no happy endings on the couples involved in this drama. And for me, BGY should be the ML. He has the looks and charisma of being the ML. Anyways, highest I can give for this drama is a 7. I think this drama is kinda overrated. Not my cup of tea I guess.

Well, being black mailed for a poison antidote is not a valid excuse for me. People who have good hearts always have pure intentions. Expectedly, she will have a character development and will feel guilty towards the end. Besides, her mind is all about money and I don't like that.

oh well, probably her character wants most of us to put her in jail. 😂 Got mis spelled her name too on my comment , as I don't like her either , so I won't bother correcting it. 😁

Okay, the only drama so far that made me put on hold Xu Kai's on going drama. :D I wasn't really a Dylan Wang fan from Meteor Garden to A Rational life until I watched this drama. And my main reason for watching this is Zhang Ling He, but now find myself liking Dylan for portraying his role so well. This drama literally got me hooked from ep.1. Didn't touch the frwrd button either. Looking forward to the last remaining episodes. Hope they give the happy ending that we all want.
And yeah, I never liked Jeili from the start, So I feel sad for Shangque. He deserves a better woman than her. And this drama deserves a higher rating too. :)

Finally completed this drama after binge watching till 4am. Quite a progress on the story plot on part 2 compared to part 1. The highlight for me here was ep. 38. Where LBY was flogged as ordered by Emperor and CSS cried out loud to stop the flogging as part of LBY's scheme to prove CSS love for him. Definitely not a fan of the massacre part, though I love the part of the Cheng family invasion. Felt sad on the Empress last farewell before her passing. A very touching moment indeed. Also felt sad for Yuan Shen for his unrequitted love. Hope he was given at least a partner towards the end. Love also the Song QiQi couple, specially the part on the prison cell and of course, happy for their marriage and kids. Overall, superb acting by the entire cast specially the leads. The story plot was just okay for me. Not really a fan of it, as I still find the sweet moments of the leads too lacking, not too mention the skinship too. The kiss is not quite convincing for me either. Obviously, this was done too conservatively. The ending was just okay too, still I would prefer a wedding and having a kid too. I still like CSS character for being able to hold her ground on not to forgive LBY too easily. In reality, what LBY did for me is considered a red flag and not quite a husband material for someone who killed massively for the sake of revenge. And for the Emperor being biased and just gave LBY a light sentence for his crime is not an ideal decision for me. with such crime, usually it's also a death sentence. Well, for the sake of having a happy ending, things shoud turn out that way. Still, I'm a fan of the Emperor for his fun and cool side. I liked the character development of CSS mom towards the end, including her relationship with CSS Grandma and how a badass she was as well in the warfield. I'll be missing LBY's black armoured entourage wherever he goes. hehehe So, this drama is quite enjoyable despite that it is slowburn and as I mentioned too lacking of skinship.

Oh well,I have to be biased about this. Am so a Jeremy Tsui fan so it has to be Be My Princess. 😍 Story wise, this drama didn't focused much on the amnesia trope which I liked. In terms of chemistry by the leads it has to be Be my Princess.

Initially, I'm so hear for Zhang LingHe. Surprisingly I got hooked from ep. 1. Another great Xianxia drama! Awesome acting of course by Dylan Wang. Really made me laugh. :D And he's the evil one that you would really love. Kinda feel sad for LingHe's character since he's the SML. Still, happy to see him again in a drama. Looking forward for more laughs and hopefully, level up chemistry by our leads. And no more body switch if I may add. hehehe

I don't think you're watching a good romance drama if a girl is uncomfortable with a kiss. it only means she's not portraying her role well. Romance dramas always intends to make their viewers fall in love, so kisses should be more realistic for people to watch it. there's no such thing as being comfortable with each other. In the movie industry everything is just being portrayed, so if the couple doesn't look comfortable with each other when portraying a role and kiss it only means they're not portraying their roles well.

I just don't see it that way. Wu Shuang perceives to be special to Yunqi simply because she was the only friend he had during childhood. That's the thing with dramas, people tend to entertain the thought the leads are already in love even if they're not simply because they portray the lead role and they should have that chemistry. already. I think you got it wrong for Fengling. Yunqi is not only suspicious of her brother but he is suspicious of Fengling's character herself. You should watch the drama more closely. Even am not so into it I still know what's going on between the characters. I think you should consider watching more romance dramas so you'll know what real romance is all about. You may start with the drama The Sword and the Brocade, cultivating each ones feelings is very well presented there. And the definition of how a guy to be sweet is very much presented there too.

I think you should rewatch Falling into your Smile and see how real kisses should be done. Checkout the kiss scenes when Xu Kai and Cheng Xiao are in the bus and theatre together. Definitely that's not just your typical lock lips as you call it. Adult couples who are in love can do this casually. Now, if you're just into sweet kiss as you call it, i think you should watch youth oriented dramas and you'll get the sweet kiss that you want there.

Oh, I don't compare guys in the modern era to republican era. Am just stating facts about reality. Besides, I've been watching lots of Historical Cdramas in which should be more conservative than the Republican era, surprisingly, guys are more intimate and expressive during those times and need not marry the girl outright. Yunqi's character depicts a guy who has never fallen in love and was focused on studying abroad. So learning from the western culture, what he knows is that dating is necessary before marriage. So, I don't think he knows how to be sweet at all. His treatment with Fengling as expectedly would be different as he sees her someone suspicious and not really as a friend. Another thing, Yunqi wasn't suppose to go back to China at all as he hates the system of the Sect if it not for his Father's telegram asking him to go home. So definitely Wu Shuang was never the reason why he went home. Therefore, it is still hard to understand to have that romantic feeling in the beginning for all Yunqi and Wu Shuang have are plainly childhood playmates memories.

Same thoughts....a different genre though, but his kisses are way better in Falling into Your Smile than here.

My theory though is that the writer of this drama was forced to incorporate romance in the story since majority of the viewers would be Xu Kai's fans, however, romance is really not the writer's turf obviously. Even the poster is misleading since romance is not the main theme of the story. Anyways, I love Xu Kai, but am gonna put this drama on hold . I'll shift to Zhang Linghe first and watch Love Between My Fairy and Devil, romance is way better there than here.

Probably, but I just didn't felt the connection. Wu Shiang was described as a childhood playmate/friend based on the flashback. It was never described that she was a childhood crush, so it's really hard for me to understand about Yunqi having romantic feelings that soon. I would understand more of brotherly care, since they didn't communicate and seen each other at all after so many years.

Yeah, that's what I don't like in Cdramas. Romance always have to do with childhood friends in which is not so relatable since not all has childhood friends that you would fall in love with. I do have childhood friends but I never fell in love with them so to speak. hehehe I guess the signals that you mentioned depends on who interprets it. I did see all those but I wouldn't interpret it as a romantic gesture. I've known men who does all the sweet things but they're just technically being nice. and it doesn't mean they have feelings automatically with the person. Sometimes, writers do miss out that in reality it doesn't happen that way. About disbanding the sect, Wu shuang is part of the reason but not mainly because of her. I believe it's more of what happened to Yunqi's parents that he wants to disband it. And for the kiss, am not up for it coz I know Xu Kai can do much better like what he did in Falling Into Your Smile...that kiss in the bus and the theatre is the real deal for me. ;)

I was able to watch already up to the most recent episode. Yes, it was explained but I can feel his feelings hasn't deleoped yet when he rejected the marriage. Like he mentioned, he prefers the modern way of dating first before marriage. But as the story requires, they don't have the ftime for it. since romance is not the main focus of this drama.
Like it took 20+eps for him to realize his feelings. 😁
This just seems not my cup of tea.. Still prefers wuxia, xianxia romance dramas. Just holding on for Xu Kai per se.
