Haixia isn’t naturally like that. He’s been poisoned. Hailou is absolutely the snake. His mistakes are what clipped Haixia’s wings and eventually destroyed him.

the censorship feels soooo excessive here as well. not even allowing a hug when they reunite after Haixia comes back to life? Cutting out them sitting on the roof together? come on.

they also refer to each other as ‘friends’ all the time and ‘my friend.’ not something you generally do to someone you view as a literal brother. not that your brother can’t be your friend, but that’s just not the language used most of the time.

this is so funny to me because if they were really brothers, the show wouldn’t have been forced by censorship to cut so many scenes of them being affectionate together.

I really don’t see any issue with the FL

I thought this was just fans of certain traffic stars mad that this drama hit 10k and theirs didn’t.

yeah I saw that. I was just wondering if the show had gotten negative review bombed because of that whole fiasco.

this is actually pretty decent for a modern (I’m not usually into them). is the rating so low for any particular reason? I read about the attacks on Yu Shuxin last week and so wondered if it was some carryover hate from that.

the ending is not as resolved as I’d like, but it’s still an HE and imo a beautiful ending

this person is like this in reply to whatever thread they’re in

where did you get that it was supposed to intense? the first big trailer literally started out with Dylan doing a dance number. it’s been clear from the getgo that this is a comedy. not the show’s fault you didn’t watch the trailer apparently.

She’s not ditzy or an airhead at all. She’s clever and thoughtful. You all just see ‘cute’ and ascribe negative traits to it.

1) Overall not as well developed or fleshed out in the romance department as LBFAD, but still really lovely and sweet.
2) GREAT chemistry
3) I wasn’t fond of a couple one off characters, but they’re only there for an ep or two. Leads and major supporting roles are all likable.
4) Well paced for the first twenty eps, meanders a bit for the next ten but is overall still decent. Last two eps are great.
5) Would liked to have had more time for a few later plot lines, a bit of fleshing out of some emotional moments. Miaomiao gets kind of shoved to the background for about 24-30, which can be frustrating. I think a lot of people wish the main couple had more skinship, and that the epilogue could have been a bit longer. I’m obsessed with both it and LBFAD, but LBFAD is the stronger show. LBFAD easily has the cleanest, most well placed arcs and characterization of any xianxia I’ve seen, as well as the most well fleshed out romantic relationship. LGIEF is not on that level, but it is still REALLY delightful!! I highly recommend it. Don’t expect it to be LBFAD2, but you’ll still have a great time with it, and the couple is very sweet.

Yes.

for me the only xianxia drama I’ve enjoyed more than this one is Esther’s other xianxia, Love Between Fairy and Devil

there is absolutely buzz, discussion, etc. it’s still accumulating a lot of views and it’s still doing very well in China. It’s a hit.
The tail effect is good and the douban rating just went up today. The variety show based on it is airing right now, and it’s doing very well. The internet does not consist of just the MDL comment section.

also it wouldn’t have aired alongside Blossom anyway. They’re both Tencent.

what did they do to Didi? Crazy they would mistreat either Didi or Esther considering LBFAD is one of their biggest moneymakers in years

can’t speak for outside of China, but in China itself by numbers, buzz, social media, viewing numbers, etc., yes LGIEF is absolutely a bigger hit than Pearl Girl.

They make out like six times in LBFAD, and they’re often long, quite passionate kisses that they both get into. Honestly some of the best kisses in Cdrama land. Moonlight has a lot like this as well. I’m not sure why you’d blame Esther for this. The writers just made a choice.
