Love and Destiny

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.

A good drama means that it has to be good. If it imitates another dramas, it will lose a lot of points. The beginning of the drama has a snow scene similar to The Legends. At the end of the drama, the male lead returns home and knows that he has a child, similar to the end of The Pillow Book... The segment of eating peaches lasted several episodes. Many unnecessary details. The conclusion is not convincing. The deposit of a Ghost Boss spirit piece in the female character seems to be a bit copied from Harry Potter. The scene where the fairy temporarily reincarnates as a person is too long and not new. The scriptwriter was so greedy that all styles were brought into the film. Therefore, the film is discrete and has no climax. It's annoying to see 60 episodes where nothing goes on. There is an expression: "Cover your ears and steal the bell". Do you think if you cover your ears, no one knows you stole the bell?

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!

If you like character development and a slow-building love story, than you'll absolutely love this show. Personally, I loved it so much that I've seen all 60 episodes in just 3 days, despite the fact that I started watching the show with the assumption that "I will most definitely get bored by it".

There were a few things I didn't like, such as the costumes and make-up of some the secondary characters (namely the old guys). Plus, some special effects could have been done better given today's expectations. But the overall story was so good that it simply eclipsed any minor issues the show has.

There are also plot twists, which personally I found predictable, but I didn't mind that at all because they were the logical conclusion of a longer story development. And having another twist would have been poor taste on the writer's part.

Btw, if you expect non-stop action on the length of just a few episodes, then you'd better orient yourself to something another show cause this ain't for you.

I'm not really sure why it's rated below 8.0, but this show deserves at least 8.5.

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!
