I actually think this series is really overhyped and the story itself was somewhat mediocre. The production and acting were both very good to excellent. I think there are other series that are far more deserving of more attention. However, it's good to see a kdrama doing so well internationally. Also, great job on this article.
Their native names or screen name everyone views during their dramas should be used for identity on mdl. Many actors may have an english name but who searches for it? Do we even know it? I had to actually go to some of the actors dramas to even find them. Search Yang Zi for instance and search results are negative. I speak english as a first or native language but have never once tried to find a celebrity online from what is essentially a nickname.
I picked Hotel Del Luna as one of my votes. Man-wol seemed to be a strong female character throughout most of the series. I love her and the story. However, after seeing the whole story I have to question the way most of us see her. Was she a really strong character? OR Was she actually much weaker than most perceive her? For a starter - It took her 1300 years to begin to be a better person or even attempting to be truly understanding. This alone makes me wonder if i should have voted for this series as a SFL. What are your thoughts? Do you think she was strong or not?
It seems strange to see that so far he isnt listed in a lead role after an excellent performance as Feng Bufei. If i remember correctly he also stood out in Queen Dugu.
adding to saoki’s comment, love and destiny takes place yearrrs before eternal love :) so before ye hua was…
Interesting fact, thank you :)
Love and Destiny is my favorite love story of all time from any genre, category, culture, etc. The series story as a whole was very good and a favorite even though it had some room for improvement. I really liked Ling Xi & Jiu Chen's story and imo there is no better story of love out of any I have personally seen in tv or movies.
I'm 20 episodes in and I think I'm gonna just skip around until the end. As much as I love Ni Ni, her character…
I felt similarly in the first few episodes but I changed my opinion quickly and she is among my all-time favorite characters. I really like Ling Xi.
Only one character seriously annoyed me in this series because he could have been much more imaginitively written. Imo Jing Xiu could have been made very interesting but he was written very cliche. If they had developed him in a more creative way and made some minor adjustments to other antagonists the story would have moved from excellent and among favorites to best in genre. Perhaps greatest of all time.
