I Said I Don’t Like Romance… and Then This Happened
This drama actually made me like romance. I almost regret ever saying “I’m not into romance,” because either this drama hit different or it just had that much of an impact. This is also the first time I fell in love with this kind of FL. Usually, I’m all about the strong, badass female leads in historical dramas—but here, she completely won me over. I loved how she explained modern things to SMJ, like what laoban means or even the “okay” gesture. And the best part? She wasn’t out here trying to master magic or power-ups—she just wanted a vacation. Relatable queen.
Three lifetimes, and they’re still loyal to each other. That’s the kind of love story I’ll sign up for. And what I really appreciate is how there wasn’t any deep, ridiculous misunderstanding like we usually see in other xianxia dramas where couples are out here trying to kill each other over miscommunication.
Wang Ying Lu—girl, I need to see you in bigger productions because your acting is too good. Thank goodness she’s slowly getting more recognition. And this was also my first Chen Fei Yu drama (my first CFY experience!), and now I’m already waiting for his upcoming projects. Same goes for the supporting cast—they really did their thing.
For me, this is my first best xianxia drama of 2025 (so far). Let’s see if the rest can compete. That last episode had me crying though. Imagine Sima Jiao in that world without LTY, and her friends living on after she left—heartbreaking. Honestly, I wished they had flipped it and let SMJ and her friends transmigrate into her world. Wouldn’t that have been such a fun and satisfying outcome?
Anyway, this drama gave me everything—love, laughs, tears. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
