PROBABLY THE WORST SHOW WITH THE BEST CAST!!!

I'm really sorry Sanha, Chuu, Junghoo and Arin... But this show was probably one of the worst shows I've watched and honestly it felt like a ragebait. Forget about comfort show, I'd watch this to curse at others. But first let me just start with the good thing I have to say about this show.

For a matter of fact, I loved the acting. and some of it's comedy made me laugh too. This was Sanha's first time as the main ml because he had been ml before but as a side ml and he did a fantastic job being Yunjae and making me angry even though I love him and Chuu too... My girly is an angel irl but portrayed Minju perfectly. Junghoo was my comic relief and made me sad too with his acting and Arin was really good at acting even if she might've cringed at her own acting because she had to play "a girly girl" where the girl has to do aegyo and shake her shoulders to feel like she's a girl in the scriptwriter's eyes but, apart from the bad one-dimensional writing of her character, Jieun, Arin did a pretty good job bringing the character to life.

But this show overall was both homophobic and mysogynistic as well as misandrist. Yunjae didn't even like Jieun for herself, he just liked the fact that she was a woman. He was a real red flag who had no boundaries and in my opinion, his poorly written character was an insult to real men. I already talked about Jieun just being a character who is like how a man would fantasize women to be like coz she was submissive, did not have a backbone and would cry all the time-- exactly how a mysogynist would like to decribe a woman of his dreams. Minju too was no different, portraying women as man-stealer and jealous as well as a seductress who's evil but wasn't it Yunjae who let everything happen one after the other just because he can't say no, has no boundaries and even lets his own girlfriend get insulted by Minju? The only chill character was Jihun but that's just Jieun if she were a man in the director/ scriptwriter's eyes. He's no different.

It's like the scriptwriter or the director was a misanthropist. They hated people in general. I'm really sorry if it sounds like a hate comment but I can't defend it in any way...

Romance so soft, that it forgot to break my heart!!

The drama is set against the backdrop of a war period, and oddly, it feels very light and almost a little too blissful. The central story revolves around Rati, an interpreter from France and Thee, an aristocrat in Siam, and the second couple, Mek and Dech, explores the theme of class divisions in society.

Starting with the positives, the show is screensaver pretty. The wide shots of the river, the whole period theme and cultural touches were to the point and really helped set up the whole mood. You just can't stop taking screenshots.

Another strength of the drama is the chemistry between the two couples.. Rati and Thee are the softest and sweetest things. The moment they saw each other, I felt they knew this was it. It was all sugar, sparkles and heart eyes.
Mek and Dech were very different from them. Their love story felt a bit realistic or less fairytale-ish. I loved their strangers to friends to lovers arc and the intimacy they had. There were no grand gestures here, everything between them just felt natural and meant to be.

But it isn't without any flaws, and ironically, its biggest “strength” also doubles as its downfall. For a story to unfold in such a turbulent period, there was surprisingly very little tension. It felt too polished and happy.
The romance of the main couple was dreamy, and I somehow missed that forbidden love hesitation and tension. Here, that edge was softened and I thought it would pick up in the later episodes once the angst hits but it was lukewarm and all the issues resolved too soon. Don't get me wrong, their chemistry is really evident and good but I was maybe expecting something soul-shattering.
And I got all I wanted in the second couple, but they were not given enough screen time. Their love story had so much potential. Mek was really grounded and Dech has that softer side of him, and every scene we got of them hinted at something deeper than what we see on screen. It was a wasted potential to me.

I felt they played it too safe and far from the reality it was set in. I don't mind bending a little to accommodate the story, but maybe with an ounce of realism. No one in that time period would have gotten away if they acted like Thee or Rati. The build-up around family opposition, social divide and cultural barriers just glossed over the real and required tension.
And while the ending was heart-warming and very GMM style, but it was sadly too neat for this.

Acting-wise, it was very convincing across the board. Great and In had beautiful chemistry, but I really wished we could see them in their angst era more. Aou and Boom were fantastic too and it's about time they get the series as main leads.

Overall, while I did enjoy the overall romance and visuals, I feel the execution fumbled the bag a bit. The themes were crying to be fleshed out more to give us a perfect historical BL without time travel. It's not exactly ground breaking, but it partly does get things right.
Will I recommend it? Yes, I will but think of it more as a fantasy historical drama that doesn’t sweat the historical accuracy.
7.75/10

Well, the series as a story is still new and the acting is good and so are the heroes, but when I feel that the ending is perfect, I wish that the boy would return to his body again and the grandfather would ascend to heaven, and when the boy returns, he works on improving himself and being better. He saw what happened, so it was better for him to change himself, but the author had another opinion, which was for the grandfather to continue, and I think that the ending is not better for me, because the grandfather lived for 70 years, and for this reason he knew a lot, and that is why everyone loved him, but the boy still learning

Warm

If I could sum of the first two episodes in one word, that word would be warm. The color palettes setting, characters, and the story itself is just really warm and beautiful. It all feels so cosy and relaxing. It's pretty easy to get invested, and the show doesn't demand too much of it's audience. It's too soon to tell, but so far, it seems like just a pretty simple idea with a neat and well-tailored execution. It's nothing groundbreaking or particularly special, but its vision is clear and it plays to it's strengths. It's pretty enjoyable so far, and I have a feeling it'll only get better.

A sea of emotions and nostalgia

This is a sweet movie of friendships, hardship, and I guess a bunch of ships in a sea of emotions.

Life is not always easy, while the story starts out more or less fluffy and youth, puppy love ish... It does take a dive in the depths of the ocean.

Our leads do a phenomenal job conveying each and every emotion, they broke my heart several time and offered a back story that I guess had to be told. The contrast between the youthful, innocent cheer and the darkness is done really well. It is constantly there lurking behind without robbing the youthfulness of the story.

A great combination, well executed and with gorgeous cinematography and just enough hints of the past to make this old lady smile. .

When Destiny Brings the Demon: Beautifully Made, Fatally Unoriginal

I made it to episode 25 before finally giving up on When Destiny Brings the Demon. The drama started well enough, lavish visuals, solid world-building, and a promising setup, but it quickly unraveled into clichés and recycled ideas.

The female lead is disappointingly flat, offering no real depth or growth, which made it difficult to care about her journey. The predictable amnesia arc drained what little momentum the story had left.

Worse still are the overwhelming similarities to Love Between Fairy and Devil. The dragon companion becomes a cobra, the ML reads thoughts instead of emotions, he retreats into years of seclusion after her “death” much like the 500-year dream in LBFAD, and the same inner-fire power dynamics reappear. The parallels are endless and hard to ignore.

The one major difference lies in its anticlimactic ending, predictable, constrained, and ultimately hollow. It raises the question: if certain themes and resolutions are so heavily restricted under current industry restrictions, why keep producing dramas that follow this formula, knowing the conclusion will never truly satisfy? Even with an impeccable ML performance and polished visuals, When Destiny Brings the Demon ends up as little more than a beautifully wrapped disappointment.

Mostly boring and bland with stunning pictures...

As usual that was a top notch GMMTV production with very pretty pictures and overall exceptionell production quality. But as usual for GMMTV it was a very bland and partly boring show. It does cater to the fangirls but I could not care less. Also as usual the side-couple was more fun :)

This thing with french speaking was also a sore irk because they are all not "David Asavanond" (playing Ratis adoptive father) who has a french background and you can't expect someone to learn to speak fluently in three months or so. While they really tried, it breaks the illusion.

The most boring part was the finale... man that was a chore to watch through. So yes, this was a fantasy BL but I did not feel for the characters at all. AomBoom were the comic relief I expected and which made the series more enjoyable. The badies, (Thee's) grandma and (Dech's) father were very two dimensional. There was not much character growth and overall GMMTV had not the balls to make a BL with a bad ending. So they all live happily ever after or so. Besides pretty pictures the show has nothing going for them, so it's an average show in the end.

What I thought of the series: I started watching this series when it was released. I was hooked right away and thought 8 episodes were too few and hoped there would be a season 2. I didn't know they had canceled the series. So when I saw that there had been so many new episodes, I was surprised. It has taken me a while to watch all the episodes and I still like the series very much. So I'm glad I continued watching the series.

You can find more of my reviews on Instagram. :D See my homepage about my Instagram account. Some of my reviews are under five hundred words so I can't post them here. (*^▽^)/★*☆♪(*^-゜)vThanks!

MIND BLOWING

I have to admit, I’m not usually the type of person who enjoys watching documentaries. Most of the time, I find them a little too slow-paced or not engaging enough to hold my attention. However, when my sister recommended this series to me, I decided to give it a chance, even though I wasn’t entirely sure it would be something I’d enjoy. To my surprise, right from the very first episode, I found myself completely drawn in.

At the beginning, I was watching with mixed feelings part of me was curious because of my sister’s recommendation, but another part of me wasn’t sure if I could commit to an entire documentary series. Yet as soon as episode one started, I was hooked. The storytelling was captivating, the pacing was just right, and the way the narrative unfolded made it feel almost like I was watching a drama rather than a typical documentary. It was eye-opening, emotional, and at the same time, extremely engaging.

What stood out the most to me was how well the story was presented. Every detail felt meaningful, and it left me wanting to know more after each part. I think that’s the biggest compliment I can give because for someone like me, who doesn’t usually sit through documentaries, to actually look forward to the next episode says a lot about how well this was put together.

Now that I’ve finished watching, I can honestly say I wish there was more. The ending left me curious and hopeful, and I truly believe there is so much potential for the story to continue. If there’s ever a season two, I’ll be the first in line to watch it. This series has completely changed the way I look at documentaries.

✨️ The Left-Footed Phoenix °6.8° °good&bad°

The 2-sentence review: This is a show for lovers of 🇨🇳fantasy. It's a tasty snack for the initiated, but it will not win over new fans to the genre.

“Hell hath no fury like a woman scorned,” wrote William Congreve. It's a good thing I looked it up because I thought it was Shakespeare. Anyway, women scorned are the primary conflict generator of this show.

DotP Follows the 🇨🇳fantasy template of Immortals, or Cultivators (think ancient superheroes), sailing through the sky over ethereal blossoms, bamboo forests & bouyant waterfalls. We will see many warriors, men and women alike. Their swords can act like both magic wands and flying carpets.

There's plenty to enjoy in DotP, however, it is still one the lesser 🇨🇳fantasy pieces I've seen. If I watched this before Love Between Fairy & Devil-8.9; Douluo Continent 9.4; Handsome Siblings-8.7; Ancient Love Poetry-8.6; or Love and Redemption-10, no doubt, I would have loved it. Stacked against the greats, it doesn't measure up.

At least, that's what I wrote in my original notes. But I never finished the review and a couple years went by. I put the show on to brush up on some facts now that I'm circling back to reviews I never finished due to extreme illness, and I got sucked right back in again! Clearly, I didn't dislike it as much as I first thought. I initially scored this a 5.8, amended it to a 6.3 but now I see this as closer to a 7. I've also since watched a couple 🇨🇳fantasy shows that are much worse (The Legend of White Snake-4.9 being an example). Fantasy fans will want to see this. There's many great elements. It's a shame there's a flaw to match every positive. On the 2nd watch, I realized this show is marvelous through the mid teen episodes, at which time it slows significantly and loses its spark.

Meng Yuan is in medical school, but not for long. We don't get the details until the show's nearly over, but she was magically transported to an alternate reality and now lives in the personage of Feng “Wu” (Yang Chao Yue of ‘Love You Seven Times’, who looks quite a bit like a female Xu Kai with her round face and full cheeks). Wu was born with ultra powerful & rare phoenix blood. The only other person who carried the same power was the legendary hero, Mu Jiuzhou who conquered the demons but mysteriously disappeared just before he obtained immortality.

So, Wu's a child prodigy. The family wasn't able to keep it on the down-low. She garners lots of attention; not all good. When Wu was young, her father passed away which ushered in bullying of her & mom. Wu walks the forest one day in frustration over it. What's this? 😮 She looks down to see a strange ring in the middle of the forest. When she looks up, a man is standing before her! Mu Jiuzhou's spirit was in that ring! He offers to be her master - he'll teach her how to cultivate power and protect her mom. Why? Mu was the last person to live with powerful Phoenix blood. Wu is his spiritual heir. Soon, Wu's one of the most talented & powerful young cultivators on the continent. There's only 1 other woman who can rival her. Unfortunately, that woman doesn't want a rival. She ambushes Wu & steals the Phoenix Blood by dark means. Then she kills Wu.

Or did she?

Wu woke up! She's in the forest with no memory and no cultivation base and Master Mu is watching over her. First things 1st: To restore her power she will need to restore her base. For that, she'll need the Nine Transformations Spirit Restoration Pill, which is made from the Celestial Fruit. (Nobody outdoes the Chinese when it comes to naming things🏆). Mu continues his info dump, but all Wu is thinking is: “Who IS this weirdo?” Memoryless Wu simply has no clue! Wu must snatch a fruit that ripens every 60 years. It won't be easy, as every cultivator on the planet will be after it. Even if she gets it, she won't be allowed to keep it. She will go in disguise. Before any of that, she needs to /understand that she needs it/. She brushed off most of what her master told her; it was too.much to process. The show does a poor job with the exposition, but this is likely when the soul switch occurred - this is when her personality completely changed. It changed so drastically that her family sent her away to live in a hovel near the border. Everything about Wu's life is now a mess. She resorts to selling medicine at the border town. For some reason, she now has a passion for medicine.

Before we get too ahead of things, let's check in on Wu at the Tea House enjoying a nice snack with her friend when AHBL (all hail breaks loose). A monstrous creature (The Firecloud Giant Hawk, which looks part dragon) raids main street. The cultivators come in to expel the threat, but just before they're about to clip the Hawk’s wings, it snatches up Wu and flies away with her. Jun was there. In fact, when he reached his hand out to summon his sword, Wu put her hand in his thinking he was offering to help her up. He shook it off like she was covered in slug slime.

So much for first impressions.

Jun follows after Wu. They end up in Frozen Forest where the Celestial Fruit is. The whole forest sequence does not feel unlike a Harry Potter book; there's even dementors. Cultivators are already wandering around looking for the fruit. Jue's rival, Mingye, the casual, almost cheerful evildoer, is there. He gets the most enjoyment from competing with Jun, but he actually takes no glee in anything. "In the best case scenario, I won't kill anybody on my birthday as a way to celebrate it.". He does what he does and there doesn't seem to be any difference between doing it or not doing it. His heart just isn't in it. He seems like more fun than the CP, Jun, with a more complex character. While in the forest, he falls for a plain girl (Wu in disguise) based on her personality and tenacity. (True, he saw Jun help Wu. It seems Jun cares for Wu, therefore, he MUST have Wu for himself. It next turns into true feelings). He wishes he had met her earlier in life, before he was tainted by what he was forced to do while growing up. He's also sincere about Wu. It might be a better story if those two had ended up together. No kidding. By contrast, CP-Jun is a little dull (though handsome and decent); Wu will have to be the life in the relationship. He may be a bit boring, but he does have true passion for Wu. She is adorable, and she makes the show fun, but I'm not always convinced that she loves him. The secondary romance is just straight glazed icing. It's a sweet light cover over the feature.

Reality is cracking and demons are wreaking havoc, we learn. Wu has a vision in which the Firecloud Hawk (in the form of a tiny bluebird) talks to her. These are dangerous times, and she must figure out a way to wake up Master Mu. He gave up the last of his Phoenix blood to save Wu's life, so he's in a coma.

As for the players, Xu Kai Cheng (Novoland: Pearl Eclipse) portrays Jun. At 30, he's alittle old for the role and it shows, but he does a good job. He's so serious! In Well-Intended Love-7.5 he seems stern at first, but he's an affable goof. He & Wu were engaged before they ever met, but Jun canceled the engagement a few years back. As for Wu's rival, elegant beauty, Jinna Fu (Heroes, You Are My Destiny-6.8), plays Zuo Qing “Luan”. Usually the most beautiful woman in any feature in which she appears, this is the 2nd time I've seen her land in 2nd place for the affections of a man. In some ways, she represents outward perfection. The ML passes on perfection, favoring the more human-fun-down-to-earth woman. Luan makes quite the descent in the course of the show, from a perfect goddess to a hardened mean girl who cannibalizes her own heart. It started when she couldn't contain her jealousy.

The king is silly and overestimates his own importance. He seems to believe all the nonsense that people say in his presence. On the other hand, the queen is diabolical. In some shots it's easy to tell that the Queen is a beautiful woman. However, they managed to make her look creepy. She's never in a truly flattering color or hairstyle. Her lipstick is too dark for her face, her ghastly makeup is caked on but colorless without the accent of rouge, and weirdly, her teeth look the same color as her skin. The effect is unsettling in a way I've not seen before. In all, the character molding is weak and ill-defined early on, but things take shape as we reach the halfway mark.

They go to magic school! Located in the capital and more like a grad school, Junwu Academy is the most prestigious of all schools. This is where the mean girls kick it into high gear. (Jun is such a starched shirt. He cannot believe his 😲 eyes when he looks across the row and sees Wu sleeping in class!) Not everyone is a fan of Junwu. The Dark Knight Court is opposed to the place and actively fights against it. This goes beyond mere school rivalry - it's racism, too. The DKC is composed of demons, and in Chinese fantasy, demons are merely another race. Most shows expect the viewer to accept or already know about the tension between humans and demons. In another fantasy show the explanation is that it takes much more time and effort for demons to cultivate. One shortcut is eating humans, as consuming one human is worth decades of cultivation for a demon. Some demons succumb to that temptation and the whole race is tarnished by it. No one wants to trust a demon.

DofP is truly wonderful in the opening episodes. The first pothole we encounter is in ep7. Wu's cousin is jealous. She loses her mind one day and attacks Wu (Dong Yan from Sword Snow Stride is Feng Liu). They were using the scene to awaken some of Wu's abilities, but it's ham-handed. The saddest thing is that for every good element there's a handful of problems. It's sloppy and lackluster. They took shortcuts, cut corners, and didn't tie up loose storylines. There's poor, or unrelatable motivations, characters acting out of character. The problems lead to dead ends and unnatural cutoffs. There are unclear origins for some of the plot devices - things spring out of nowhere, and that is NOT an example of good writing. In the 1st couple episodes, Wu is under an ugly curse. The way they represent that in China is, sadly, by darker skin, freckles, and bad hair. They caked on the bronzer. It's quite a contrast to the other actors who are almost as white as their silk robes. Ah, tan skin, messy hair, and freckles - arguably, that version of Wu is cuter. This millennia's old light-is-right mentality has roots that aren't as deeply planted in ethnic hatred as they are status. Working in the fields is associated with darker skin and therefore a lower status. Not all the old ways are worth perpetuating. The overall effect is emotional flatness. In fact, toward the end, it became too difficult to maintain focus. Riveted to the screen, I was not.

The art, costumes, sets, are very pretty. There's nice camera work. From a technical standpoint, the directing is good. There's no lag & the timing's good for half of the show, Their first (intended) kiss, for example: She turns. He catches her hand and pulls her back as the camera looks way up at their silk & locking lips from a mouse's view.

Some special effects are clunky and nearly antique appearing, which is evidence of budgetary constraints rather than skill. The demonic beast in ep10 is fantastic, but more of the effects are distracting in their lacking. Generally, one has to put up with this to watch Chinese fantasy shows. As every other element is magnificent, I find that quite easy. What I don't find easy is films in which all the money goes into the effects and the plot and dialogue are awful. (Deliver me!) There's some fun, positively catchy music. The old school bell is magnificent.

Suspicions abound. Wu seems very suspect to Jun. Part of the conflict is Jun working through his feelings while wondering if Wu will turn out to be evil. Evil is even closer to home, though. Sometimes this dynamic is funny: When Wu is being questioned by Jun in front of Bai, the ancient potions master, she fake-cries. Bai's expression is priceless. He is astounded at her boldness and doesn't seem to think she has much chance of convincing anyone. They keep suspecting Wu of being in league with DKC, especially after she befriends Mingye, but it's another bigwig who is working with the villains. “No matter how chaotic the world is, be kind and don't stoop to evil’s level,” Mu tells his student.

After watching twice I'm still conflicted. Guilty pleasure? Don't think it qualifies. 1st of all, it doesn't give one enough to feel guilty about, and the pleasure trade-off is not enough, either. Guilty pleasures are something that is generally panned or disliked, but you just like it. You like it enough to watch it again. Maybe again and again, even though you know it's bad on many levels. This is a show that is mediocre part of the time, fun part of the time, and exciting part of the time. The worst thing is that the very ending is lame - it's awfu/l❕ I have to pretend it didn't happen.


QUOTES🗣️

It's good to be kind. But kindness without principles and bottom lines is just cowardliness.

Don't argue with those who are nothing like us

No matter how tough a man looks, he must have a soft and vulnerable side.

Addition, subtraction, multiplication and division decide the universe.

Re-📺? My first thought is NO WAY. But, eh, never say never. I love 🇨🇳fantasy. My ratings aren't my personal favorites list. I can like a show that I've given a 7 rating to more than I like to show I've given a 9. At the end of the day, technical confidence matters but ultimately, it doesn't have a chance against what touches the heart. Once a show is in the 6's I would probably never want to rewatch it… until this one. I liked it more the 2nd time around. This show is like a dirty diamond. It still has plenty of sparkle.

A Rare Xianxia Treasure

I want to share my review of my favorite C-drama. The story is very much character-driven. For example, Sima Jiao transforms from someone who doesn’t care about others—who even thinks about killing and wishes to die—into someone who finally wants to live, all because of her. On the other hand, the female lead, who never wanted to harm anyone, learns to stand her ground and defend herself.

Some say the plot isn’t that strong, but I completely disagree. To me, the storyline is powerful because it shows how love can transcend timelines. The so-called “minor plots” actually make the main romance even stronger. What I loved most is how the couple actually talked through their misunderstandings—something rare in xianxia dramas. As a xianxia fan, I’m used to endless angst, blood vomiting, and miscommunications. But this drama gave me something different: pure, genuine love.

Both leads fully embodied their roles and delivered romance so beautifully. It was the main couple that captured my heart the most.
