Where did they go? I saw that video of them on a plane earlier.

Now that the drama has ended, I want to pose this question. Except for Bai Lu's (because I know many here are fans of hers, including me, and she plays the central character in this drama), whose performance stood out to you the most? I'll start... As much as I love Ao Ruipeng, and those who have interacted with me know that he's a favorite of mine, it was Dai Lu Wa's portrayal of the borderline psychotic Fu Ling and Bai Xi that really caught my attention. It's not easy playing this type of character so kudos to her. Honorable mention is Liang Xue Feng as Chen Ye/Qi Feng. He is such an emotive actor. I now find myself looking forward to his future projects.

It did end happily because according to Sa Ding Ding's character, "Heaven", everyone who sacrificed their lives for the greater good will be given another chance to come back in another life. That is why Fu Ling told both Bai Shou and Chong Zhao that in the next life, they will be together again. They don't show it in the drama but you can assume that they will be reborn and find each other again. Maybe you just wanted a different happy ending that's why you can't call it as such.

Yep. Try to rewatch the episode where Jingyuan comes back and he has a conversation with Bai Shou and later on, Fan Yue.

The actresses usually wear platform shoes underneath their hanfu and they stand on additional platforms for close-ups and kissing scenes.

Perfect Match will be available on Netflix worldwide, I think.

I also got bored when they introduced the love interest and I was watching that on an illegal site since I don't have a subscription to WeTV so it wasn't exactly convenient. Blossom is on Netflix and it's relatively shorter.

I still haven't seen Blossom so I'll check that out. I also need to finish Guardians of the Dafeng. I had to put that on hold because I no longer had time to juggle two dramas.

This! I also like the second couple. Heck, I love Dai Lu Wa as Fu Ling. I never hated her character because I was waiting how things would turn out. If written and acted well, she could definitely be redeemed. I also never thought of Chong Zhao as a useless and annoying character because his earlier personality actually reflects that of his origins and divine mantle. And I never complained about Bai Shou's arrogance and brattiness or Ao Ruipeng's emotionless portrayal of Fan Yue because I thought maybe there was a reason for those things. Turns out I was right about these four characters. Fu Ling had a very good reason for doing the things she did, Chong Zhao is the Hidden Lord Mo Li so his attachment with Bai Shou was merely a continuation of his obsession with Xingyue. Bai Shou went through significant character development and Fan Yue had every reason to act cold and distant. But when faced with death and the idea of losing Bai Shou, he broke down, showing considerable anguish. Ruipeng also proved he has the acting chops and "chemistry" with Bai Lu as Jingyuan. Some people have taken back what they've said about him. lol Sometimes it doesn't hurt to keep an open mind.

Is it still increasing?

One of my favorite Chinese actors is Wang Kai because I fell in love with his role in Nirvana in Fire, and Tony Leung is one of my all-time favorite thespians. Older actors are more my type actually. These pretty boys are just eye-candy. I love them for their youthfulness and personality.

I will give it a try if I have the time. I have so many pending dramas right now I can't keep up! lol

I think it's an East Asian culture thing. In Japan, they also prefer to use "suki" which means like instead of saying, "aishiteru". In Korea, they would often say "johaeyo" instead of "saranghae". It's because there's a difference in the gravity of those words. When you say "aishiteru" or "wo ai ni", it has a more intimate and deeper meaning. They only say that when they really really mean it.

I'm not overly fond of melodrama or romance, and that is why I tend to avoid xianxia. I dropped Immortal Samsara and Love and Redemption even though I love Cheng Yi. I couldn't get through Love You Forever although I also like Tan Jianci. And I don't get the fascination for Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms. It's just not my genre. But I do like a good high fantasy story so I give xianxia dramas a shot from time to time to see if they catch my fancy.

Ikr?! But that series was my guilty pleasure. Damn, I miss it! lol

If you find it nonsensical, then it's not for you. Different strokes for different folks, I always say. I suggest you find something else to watch because it will only stress you out.

Whenever I read comments about how many times Fan Yue dies, I can't help but chuckle. I'm guessing these people haven't seen Supernatural and known the Winchester brothers. lol No shade, I just find it amusing.

The Jingyuan that saved Bai Shou was half of his divine mantle while the other half went into Fan Yue when he was born. He tore his divine mantle in half when he died because he searched for Xingyue's mantle. This half found a young Bai Shou and saved her along with her sister. It finally joined the other half in Fan Yue when he fell off a cliff at 15 years of age and that's why he suffered from amnesia. It also explains why Fan Yue suffered another amnesia years later and became Mumu. Jingyuan explained all this when Bai Shou asked him and told him that the one she loves is Fan Yue and not him. The gods never truly die, they are always reborn unless they are completely killed by the divine bow.

They looked embarrassed watching themselves kiss. 😂
