Miss the Dragon

The director did a good job emphasizing how emotionless the Dragon King and Ice Star are. Neither have experienced mortal emotions, and both are falling in love with females. Dylan Wang and Yang Dong act this perfectly.

The scenery and costumes are beautiful, and the dragon is long, typical Chinese type, that looks like Dylan. The sound is disconnected, like old movies sound, but doesn't mar the experience. One thing I like about these actors is they have natural looks, NOT the huge eyelashes, basketball boobs, and big fish lips.

I've seen criticism of the actors for underacting and overacting. Those are both typical of fantasies. The characters matched the original story. Many people either don't read the book, or don't realize that actors are directed--they emote the way the directors tell them. They also do multiple takes of each scene. An actor may be asked to raise an eyebrow or move differently, or the script changes. Then the desired takes are pieced together to make the show. Please people, look at some outtakes and reshoots before watching a main story so you understand that this is not real.

As the tile says, I watched the other series and was looking for something that closely resembled it. This has the same mean male lead, and had some similarities between it. Overall, I enjoyed the show. There are definitely things that could have been done better but it's a cute fantasy romance drama. I got what I came for out of it. I wanna be in love with the Dragon King too so mission accomplished.

I do like that these episodes were only about 35 minutes long so I was able to watch the entire series within a weekend. I enjoyed the two romances and all of the main characters throughout. The costumes and settings were done well as well.

If your first thought when reading the synopsis is that a story about 3-lifetimes of (mostly) unrequited love sounds tragic, tedious, and mono-chromatic, then you're exactly right. Admittedly the cast and filmography are gorgeous, and each of the FL's incarnations were moderately interesting, but it was hard to care when the main plotline (the love story) just kept repeating. Eventually there is progress and some resolution, but 75% of the story feels like you've already been there, done that. On top of that, although there are several prolonged kiss scenes, it's hard to sense much passion, so that's kind of a let-down too. In short, I'm sure there are plenty of folks this type of story would appeal to - I myself just don't happen to be one of them.

I watched this after watching Love Between Fairy and Devil, which was epic. These are the only two c-dramas I've ever seen. They were strangely similar, the exact same tropes expressed in the exact same way, but Yu Long was like a very very rough draft of Fairy/Devil. The first couple of episodes were laughably bad - the acting wooden, the chemistry between the romantic pair nonexistent, and the makeup lines on their faces visible. But they started to warm up; and half way through, it was like they changed director and writer. The show becomes engaging. I would like to know what happened during the making of this series, how they turned the ship around and if someone said 'we could make this good' and then went on to do Love Between Fairy and Devil.

This drama is excruciatingly slow and repetitive with a microseconds of humor here and there. Perhaps its the character dragon (dylan wang) who is suppose to act cool and emotionless most of the time... makes it hard to find a romantic chemistry between the 2 leads. The story spanning 4 life times was very redundant. Was expecting new and exciting, full of action packed stories from each of the lifetimes but sadly every lifetime was almost the same as one another. This drama fell short in my books. Still struggling to finish the last 3 episodes. This drama compared to Love between fairy and devil is night and day. With Love Between Fairy And Devil I binged watch because it was so good. This one.....Im almost calling it quits but feel obligated to finish it since I have already invested so much time into it. Another thing that turned me off about this drama is the soundtrack....its horrible. Music is suppose to bring out certain emotions during certain scenes, but i find I have to turn it down when the music starts playing because it is really that annoying.
