Entangled by a magical fate
That was a really good start for 2026 modern dramas!
“Love between lines” was honestly something I found out about a very long ago but I actually forgot about it. The reason being is that I never understood what it was about. Therefore, I wasn’t interested in it as much as other upcoming dramas. I’m glad to be back just on the right time when it was airing. Now that it has finished, I think it is just the right time for me to write a review.
First of all, I’m a huge fan of Lu Yu Xiao but I never watched Chen Xing Xu’s work. His first impression was very well and I’m looking forward to his next show. As for Lu Yu Xiao, I have watched many of her works and she is such a talent. Her expressions go from playful, cute to fierce at once. I think this is what I like the most about her work. Both talents were met by a good script, it couldn’t be more perfect!
I was drawn to this drama from beginning till the end though I would say the best episodes are in the first half and in some of the last episodes. I love the Virtual reality game concept they used, it just allowed us to see more sides to their relationship. It creates a two side of the relationship, one so magical set in Republic of China filled with mystery but also that sparkle of love and playfulness. The other side of their relationship is more like mature and real love but also with playfulness. I think that the love story in the VR game is like a half of the heart and the rest of the heart belongs to their chemistry in the real world. I imagine it that way and it couldn’t be any better.
In general, what I really love about the characters is that, they are very supporting of each other. Whether it is Xiao Zhi Yu who helped Hu Xiu achieve her dream of becoming an architect or Gong Huai Cong secretly and openly helping Lao Zhao to successfully run her café. I just really appreciate the sense of close friendship they gave us between the two couple.
Love triangle. This was such an intense love triangle because I had hard time picking. Mr.Pei could have been a good boyfriend material if it wasn’t for his intentions from the beginning. But I love all the 2nd MLs, they add a hint of jealousy which leaves us with some funny scenes of ML being jealous all over.
I’m not a CGI expert but it all looked good in my eyes. Especially the scene in the haunted house. It had such an intense romantic vibe. The most handsome NPC playing outside of his role just so that he can protect you from ghosts and turn them into petals or fireflies? Perfect, freaking perfect.
EXTRA thanks to those who made the BGM. My most favorite song is definitely the one in the opening credits. It has very mystical and magical vibes. It is the type of opening credits that I never want to skip. The scenes they picked for this part are so beautiful.
Another EXTRA thanks to all the lovey-dovey scenes they gave us. They felt very real and every moment of it felt special. Crazy to think that they had 27 kiss scenes according to some of the comments I read. Every single hug, words and acts of affection was heartwarming.
Ending wasn’t a wedding as I have expected but I found what they gave us to be much better. Just thinking their first meeting was in a game where he was the Main character and then it ended with FL being the main character was actually something sweet. Love it from start to finish. ∞/10. I would love to come back and watch it again.
