This is an amazing 2017 drama.
Note: I'm not a particularly picky person. So my ratings may be more generous than others'. I'll admit, I was probably a little harsh in rating the story. ?
☆☆☆☆☆ First, the storyline was pretty good. I said "pretty good", but it wasn't the best. Of course, this is a 2017 drama, so I think it's exceptionally good for a drama filmed 5 years ago. Ig you can say that standards back then were "lower" than today's because production has advanced over time, so there are a lot more dramas better than this one in the following years. The only thing I think that brought the story rating down for me is that it was I dare say- childish, almost. It's all about "magical powers" and love. But I really liked how they constructed the characters. Their personalities are kind of what kept me watching.
☆☆☆☆☆ Tbh, the cast and acting was the only reason why I decided to watch this drama in the first place. I love Xing Zhao Ling and Liang Jie A LOT. They make an amazing duo, and I fell in love right after seeing them once in "You Are My Destiny" from 2020, and coincidentally, they filmed many dramas together, and this was their first one I believe. The producers did really well in this aspect, and honestly, it can't get any better.
**(sidenote: Liang Jie was pretty impressive here, where she had to act as Qu Xiao Tan and Qu Tan Er, who had completely opposite personalities.)
☆☆☆☆☆ Music... music is so important. I really love music in general, and thought the music chosen in this drama was excellent. It was fitting, and I don't have much criticism to give on that part. ?♀️
☆☆☆☆☆ Overall, this drama is amazing. I would totally recommend it to anyone who hasn't watched it yet. Personally, I like modern dramas more than historical dramas, so I think I'd like the sequel to this drama better. Speaking of the sequel, I wouldn't rewatch this myself because I'd be watching The Eternal Love 2 instead. Anyways, if you haven't watched this yet, I would definitely recommend it!
