My dream came true for Baitan couple to finally reunite to film a drama, however short it is. As long time friends, their on screen chemistry is very natural and comfortable. I didn't have too high of an expectation since it's just 8 eps, but it's beyond what I expected. Perhaps bc it's only 8 eps so the drama didn't drag, but most importantly in such a short amount of time the drama was able to tell a whole story without feeling rushed. The script, plot and directing was well executed, along with amazing acting. I can see the gradual character growth and maturity of Xiao Dong, and the passion of Siqi in helping the villagers grow economically to keep up with the technology of the time. What I loved the most was the relationship growth of the two leads. They had their misunderstandings from childhood, but as they were able to talk about it and get to know each other more, their relationship changed for the better. I loved the sweet moments between them, especially the inner dialogue they have in their minds, it's just hilarious. This drama has a great balance of comedy, romance, growth and hardship of village life. I just wish it was longer than just 8 eps. Bai did great for comedy relief! Love Seven, her acting I can always count on.

Anticipating Seven and Wangkai's collab. Two amazing actors.

You's obviously never watched Go Ahead lol. I wsnted ti smack the mom in Go Ahead. So if sny character can beat this mom character then she's something. I haven't felt that yet since aren't there yet

Ok, makes so much more sense! I watch it without eng subs since I understand Mandarin but xianxa/fantasy language is another level of understanding.

But who appointed her as chief, especially since she's the youngest and was weak before she got her magic

I watched first 2 eps and reslly didnt like it. Decided to dropped it and lster pucked it up again, but starting from ep 16. So far not as bad as I had thought. One problem I have is the random falling madly in love from ml. I skipped the first life, so idk how or why they fell in love, but 2nd life of ml just randomly likes fl just doesnt sit right with me. There's 0 build up as to why he would like her. He didn't even show low at first sight kinda thing. He just randomly showed signs of infatuation and he only met her. From all the xianxa dramas ive watched, this is the only one where the origin of love from ml didnt make sense. It just came out of nowhere, no back up story. I think thats why i felt 0 chemistry between them. I mean, even Miss the Dragon, however absurd the loyal love from ml, at least fl saved him so he kinda had fond feelings from that. At least that's something. I think if they wrote a better love line between the two in ALP, reviews for this drama would've been better

Oooh. But, i dont get why she's referred as Highness. Seems like shes royalty. Also, it said she's leader of the gods.

I watched eps 16-19 straight. Theres still some iffy stuff but I can look past it. It's getting morr interesting. I will definitely go to those epd you mentioned once im finished with the current

Ok i see. Tysm

Oooh. Then ehat about shanggu? Is she one of the 4 gods?

Does the story ever explains the origins of Shanggu, such as why or how she became the leader of the 4 gods. Was she just destined to be born into the role? like her birth right? who are her parents.

ooh ok. Thanks! Another question, why is Donghua weaker than fl? In Eternal love series, donghua is very strong, one of the first gods. Unless they changed his character history. I'm actually very disappointed with this chosen actor as Donghua. When I first saw him I was like "who the heck is this white haired guy, the only white haired god I know is Donghua"....and then he revealed himself as Donghua.

So, I decided to give this drama a try again, mainly bc there's no good dramas airing that has caught my eyes. I started at ep 16 and am a bit confused. I know fl sacrificed herself and reincarnated, but what about ml? did he die or he went into hiding as another identity....but looks the same.

I decided to give it a try again, but started from ep 16.

Have you dropped ut or continued? Ive dropped it. Even thoigh i hesrd it gets better after ep 16. But i just dont have the patience to watch it all the way through. Maybe when Im bored I'll skim through

This drama at least can guaranteed to be better than Miss the Dragon

I've watched up to ep3. Had decent expectations, especially since it's Xukai (he did great in Court Lady) and I heard Dongyu is known as queen in the movie industry. I'm not going to talk about her acting. Instead, I find the editing really choppy to the point it confuses me. At one point they are inside and then next they are on top of a tree fighting. I'm like "did I miss something...I just looked away a few secs". So far, I don't see any chemistry between the leads. Doesn't make sense for the ml to suddenly fall in love randomly so quickly. I hope the story, editing, acting, and cp gets better as the story develops more.

unfortunately, it's July 9th for Bc Have Home

I just watched a scene on ig and im shocked at the new revelations.

I always thoight Ling Fang is way too soft to be a villian or antagonist. He's more for comedy relief
