Never in my experience that an intern can achieve such a thing that the FL achieved in this drama. Academic and real life these days are so wide apart. Every intern and new employee needs intense training before they can be let go to work independently on project.

This drama is based on fantasy ......
Yeaa, I heard also that it is based on a book. Perhaps old novel. And this kind of FL perhaps quite popular in those days.

In my opinion the story will be much better if we can see how the FL really strive to the best version of herself. At least, I will be able to see how hard work matters in the end. But, no. All I see was dumb FL that seems to never be able to get better at all, not to mention become such a doormat in her romance relationship.

Just read your review. Wow, you have lots of frustration, hahahaha

My problem with this drama mainly is FL characterization. I just cannot bring myself liking this kind of woman. She has everything that I hate and I striving to never become. I didn't and still don't understand why such a high achiever ML could ever liking this kind of woman.

That is also the part that made me questioning the reality that I live in, hahahaha. I was thinking whether intern should have that kind of authority and responsibility while looking on the intern working in my place ......

Hahahaha, no problem. I commented the same thing while the drama was still airing. I personally think that criticizing actor/actress acting skill should not be seen as bashing them. In the end, we all want them to improve so to bring more enjoyment to us as audience.

There was someone who said the exactly the same as you in douban forum discussion. The discussion followed that statement was not pretty though.

I agree with you that Ding Yu Xi has better acting skill here, especially in emotional department. In some emotional scenes, I saw that an un-balanced emotional ouput from both characters.

That one from Liu Yu Ning and the one from Faye are my favorite. I have them in repeat. So beautiful!

Yes, this current trend of OE is really disappointing. I just want a proper ending. BE or HE, the scriptwriter just need to choose one. I don't like it when they choose OE so they will not offend audience pro BE and pro HE. Well, in my opinion, sooner or later they will end up offending both.

Ding Yu Xi is certainly a gem. Of course he still has lots to improve, especially in emotional layering. But, at his age, this level is already very good. And I love his voice. Happy that he use his real voice here. Moonlight also has his real voice. I am looking forward for his future work.

My Journey to You is within my plan; after I finish Moonlight. I already emotionally invested in that drama, so I will finish that first, hahahaha.

Yeah. I thought the ending to be HE, too. I hope we can have more obvious HE. Just what the hell with all this open ending ...... It is somehow become a trend now.
Just, Cheng Yi acting was too good so I was drown in Li Lian Hua somehow depressing life situation.

And then I tried to watch this drama to look something sweet. Actually one thing drew me to this drama was the OST sung by Liu Yu Ning. Ding Yu Xi was a nice surprise for me here.

Even though this is xianxia, still Chu Kong soul was already dissipated. He is dead in the very sense of immortal here. Except the screenwriter can explain that part of his soul survive somehow, then the ending is not logical. Not to mention, he retained memories as mortal. This is even more confusing.

Cang Hai rebirth is explained clearly. Her soul was protected by Chu Kong spirit, thus she can rebirth as cloud, and then come back as Cang Hai. Chu Kong case is completely different.

The lighting of God of War star does not answer anything. The very problem is "why" Chu Kong can come back thus making the star lighting up.

Hahahahaha! Nice to see another Cheng Yi fan here. I think we miss each other in MLC discussion forum. I kind of "depressed" after the ending so I don't return to discuss the drama further

Me, too. It just show lazy writing in my opinion. I watch drama to see a story within someone else head. Why I should imagining and thinking about the ending myself?!

I really hope they can follow a bit from the novel where Chu Kong lost his memory and even a bit stupid (because his soul is scattered). They can give us like 2 full episodes of this so to give us a fuller HE.

ALP is definite HE. They also explained how Bai Jue can return. The ending perhaps just not long enough for us to truly savor it. But this drama ...... perhaps even the screenwriter did not understand how Chu Kong could be resurrected in the end.

Yeaa, I hear people praise her acting skill. Perhaps she took too many cute character that somehow unpleasant for me ....

I plan to watch My Journey to You later after enough number episodes have aired. Currently, I am watching Moonlight. Seems this is the drama when Ding Yu Xi somehow perfecting his skill in acting as tsundere, hahahaha. I just cannot get angry at him, no matter how childish he acts.

MJTY? What is this stand for?
Romance of Tiger and Rose, I have watched in sparse before, but not really interested at that time since I ..... had my reservation about Zhao Lu Si acting. Will try watch that later on after I finish with Moonlight

I can never praise the costume designer for Chu Kong costume often enough. Love them so much!! I also plan to watch Moonlight right now. The clips look good and the romance seems sweet

Just hang on. ML has lots of good scene with great acting on the back. I have never seen someone can act cute as endearing as him.

His acting is quite good in this drama.

Agreed on the costume. Especially those blue clothes collection for Chu Kong as god of war and as 2nd Prince of Qilin. Ding Yu Xi looked so gorgeous in those garbs.

Well, to be fair, both Xiu Ming and Chu Kong are love brain somehow, though Xiu Ming is the worst.

I agree that the 2nd live with Lu Chang Kong and Song Xiang Yun took too much screen time. I think they can cut it and give more screen to "General & Princess" instead. Also, I will not reject if they can expand on the last life. Perhaps explain more how Chu Kong can come back. For the last life, I truly hoped that they can adapt the passages in the novel ..... Alas ....

This drama makes me hate open ending very much. It is as if the screenwriter just cannot do their job in writing the ending properly so they just write some random scene and let the audience think about it themselves.

As a light drama, this is good enough. The best part in this drama in my opinion is the OST and the production. OSTs are heavenly, especially those from Faye and Liu Yu Ning. The costume and make up are beautiful.

Acting wise, I think Ding Yu Xi and Xing Ze are the best. This is my first time watching Ding Yu Xi drama in full. I have to say that I am surprised with him, especially lots of actor that I approve of regarding acting skill, already above 30 years old. I hope he can further improve himself in the future.
