Love and Destiny

I love this series. I have watched it at least eight times and intend to watch it again. I am addicted to this series for good reason:the actors, all of them, were convincing. This is one of the best Cdrama love stories ever produced. The storyline is good and the cinematography is breath taking. The lead actors NiNi and Chang Chen gave superb performances as the God of War and his love interest, Ling Xi. Their chemistry was off the charts and yet so natural. I was touched by their performances. This series will make you laugh, make you cry and sometimes make you angry. This is one of the most spellbinding series I've ever watched. Kudos to the writers, director, and actors for a job well done. This series is well worth the watch. Encore!

Great acting by leads along with a strong supporting cast and a well written storyline makes this drama worthy of its 2020 International Emmy nomination. Yes, it has similarities to other fantasy dramas, namely Eternal Love: Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, but I think the story and lead performances are both better in this drama.

Chang Chen as God of War is exceptional. NiNi is great as usual (check out Rise of the Phoenixes if you haven't already!). The story moves effortlessly from one world and one lifetime to the next, keeping audiences engaged. Highly recommend!

Firstly, clarify that "Love and Destiny" never copies from any other drama, Chinese Mythlogy is a large background and system, and can generate a lot of ART styles and stories. "Love and Destiny" is an orginial created drama, sourced from Chinese Mythology in ancient times, and its drama plot, lines and values are really full of positive attitude, comparing to such many other myth drama, it spread justice and beautiful willings and creature's right for life. 2ndly, As per those actors and actress in this drama, all of them are really awesome in this drama, not only the leading ones. They do not only have beautiful faces, they do understand and melt into this drama world and the roles. 3rdly, for the main actor and actress (Chang Chen and Ni Ni) their performance with layers, further and further with naturals and logical. And their love does trully touch me, no 3rd one, no ridiculous and always focusing.

The plot gathered from many sources, without its own identity. 60 episodes too long and ended too quickly. Chen Chang was wrong to choose to act in this movie. Ni Ni's makeup is not beautiful. Watching is not impressive at all. Boring. I have watched and understand why the high scores but few people see and comment. See once no times later.

No great performances, just a messy clone. The drama has no central circuit, many improvised development details, unreasonable. If you have watched many dramas, you will see many familiar scenes in this drama. It is unbelievable that the drama received such a high score. By the way, I like Chen Chang's other movies, even though they have much lower scores. Skip this drama.
