good story and romance!
I liked this! I was craving anything remotely similar to Alchemy of Souls, and I found this. I think this is the first CDrama I’ve ever watched lol. But what a great introduction!
The first thing that really drew me in was the production and visual aesthetics of the set. The imagery is so so beautiful. I also reallly enjoyed the acting here! Especially Esther Yu and Dylan Wang. Their chemistry was amazing and I loved orchid and dongfang qiangcang together.
The plot felt somewhat predictable, but there were still a few twists and turns that made things enjoyable to watch. Like I did not expect Jieli’s betrayal lol. But I think the way characters acted made sense and there weren’t any glaring loose threads that still needed to be tied up by the end.
I also enjoyed Danyin’s character/the actress’s performance— at first was giving mean girl but I liked her arc overall. I wish her being half moon tribe half fairy tribe and being sisters with Jieli would’ve been explored more but ig after the truce and also wrapping up the story in 36 eps it makes sense they didn’t do that.
I went into this thinking 36 episodes was so long but once I started I literally could not stop and now I wish there were more episodes lol.
But yeah back to Orchid/DFQC their progression and love story is one I won’t forget. It lived up to the hype for sure
