I'm on episode 11 and for some reason I just can't bring myself to like Ye Bing Chang (she just seems fake for some reason and her constant weak and pathetic appearance is rather annoying). I also don't really care about Xiao Lin. As a result, their boring relationship is also something that doesn't hold my interest at all. I suppose it could be the lack of screentime or the lack of chemistry between the actors portraying the characters.
The relationship between Pian Ran and Ye Qing Yu has potential to become more interesting. I hope we get to see a bit more of them.
Obviously the main couple gets the most screentime and I like the chemistry between Bai Lu and Luo Yun Xi. Their casting is on point. They bring their characters to life incredibly well.
So far this drama has been very interesting to watch. It's also undeniably visually stunning, which is always a treat.
This isn't a great drama, but also by far not a disappointment. It had its moments, mostly in the funny and cute scenes. One of the reasons why, is because the ML fit in those cute scenes. He played the part of the cheerful, cute and innocent very well, but in turn did not really fit playing the serious, calm and mature parts. His age was only partly responsible for that (seeing as he was around 17 at the time). The biggest issue is charisma. He doesn't have a very strong screen presense, so he can't pull off a character who's supposed to be charismatic and magnetic.
The story itself is rather predictable and repetitive and there's an abundance of the usual tropes and annoying characters.
Where the story shines, as I already mentioned, are the cute moments.
Given how short this drama is, it's worth a one time watch.
This drama is the silly, funny and cute type. I really liked it until around episode 17, when the story went into a strange direction. I think it might have worked if they presented or edited it better, but starting from episode 17 it felt rushed and the story stopped making sense. All in all, I did enjoy it for the most part.
Whether it's the manga, the anime, the movie or the drama version, this story has always been very warm, pure and calming to me. It's not flashy or overly dramatic and focuses on the relationships between very different people who are somehow going through similar experiences. The relationship between Sawako and Shota develops naturally and grows from mutual respect and admiration, which is beautiful to see. The friendships that the characters form are pure and supportive. This story shows that you can keep things simple and straightforward and still be engaging. I'm glad I got to watch another adaptation and get to know the characters all over again.
Even though this drama definitely had it's shortcomings (most of them the same as other short dramas), I must admit that I still enjoyed this. The reasons are the main leads. I liked the characters and their story was actually interesting (based on both seasons, since the first does not tell their full story)
I liked this more than I expected. It's cute, funny and silly. I really liked the fact that the drama and the cast embraced the silliness. It made me laugh and was entertaining throughout. I actually ended up loving it.
This is the best short drama I have seen so far. The story is coherent and focused, the acting is good and the editing was smooth. I also really enjoyed the story. It may be the usual "lovers for three lives" type of Xianxia, but the way it was told and the storylines they chose in the mortal world were actually interesting.
This acting in this drama is not great, the make up is terrible and the editing is sloppy. Most of the characters are annoying on top of being the usual stock caricatures in short dramas. This drama could definitely benefit from a more focused plot, given how short it is. They should have just focused on the couple and cut out a lot of the side characters, because they didn't really have time to develop them anyway. I felt like it was trying to do too much and ended up not doing anything well. All in all, not the greatest short drama out there.
I love the novel, so this drama is definitely going on my to watch list. I hope they come out with the official cast soon and I really hope that they cast it appropriately.
It would be great to see Wu Lei and Jiang Yi Yi as they both look young enough to pull off the roles (the characters are teenagers) I love Wu Lei in historical dramas as he fits those roles and his acting is good. I've only ever seen Jiang Yi Yi once in a small role, but she seemed very lively on screen. Whether she will be able to pull off the character of a mature woman in the body of a teenager remains to be seen, but we'll only find out once the drama comes out.
Started watching this one. I'm only 3 episodes in and even though most of it was pretty much just character introductions, I'm loving it. The characters are interesting and very distinctive, so even though we got introduced to a lot of them in a short amount of time, they're recognizable and memorable. Not really sure where the stroy is going yet, but I'm definitely here for the ride.
Ok, all done. Very good. I like the romance, and that little bit of comedy sprinkled in there. So, in the last…
As far as I understand, she was never absorbed into the Soul Lamp, because it was taken away by the Jade Deity. Instead, most of her soul dissipated and only a small part latched on to the coriander plant. It took her thousands of years and the blessing from Qing Heng to cultivate a human form again.
The reason the twin flower spirit had to enter the body of mortals in the first place, was because they were almost destroyed. I think it's similar as to what happened with Su Zhi. The flower was almost dissipated, but thousands of years later, it was strong enough to enter the human body and become stronger. It's possible that it was always meant to take on human form, but wasn't given the chance. As for how they will look, once the spirit entered their bodies when they were babies, it could've dictated their looks, so once they take a human shape again, they will look the same and essentially be the same person. Obviously, this is just what I think, so it would be wrong.
It's sad because he was really into her and if she could've let go, she'd be the heavenly empress. That's getting…
Exactly. That's what worked in this drama so well. All the choices the characters made, no matter how tragic or wrong, made sense. It was easy to understand why they did wha they did.

That's possible, but I don't think it was likely. Even if their powers were never awakened, she still had the goal of reviving her clan and would have found out they were all wiped out. I think the last straw may have been the fact that she found out that the souls of her tribe were destroyed and she basically spent all those years trying to revive them for nothing. On top of that Ye Tan chose not to kill the Heavenly Emperor, essentially denying her revenge.
The relationship between Pian Ran and Ye Qing Yu has potential to become more interesting. I hope we get to see a bit more of them.
