Cang Lan jue

This Chinese version of Beauty and the Beast is romantic, funny, dreamy, heartwarming and heart-wrenching. The artistic CGI enhances the fantasy feel. I was blown away by the stunning music, beautiful set design and the heartfelt portrayal by the cast.

Dylan Wang nails a challenging role of the heartless and ruthless but inadvertently funny and loveable Supreme Lord of the Moon Tribe, Dongfang Qingcang.

Esther Yu as lowly Fairy Orchid Xiao Lanhua is initially annoying with her high-pitched, whiney, babyish way of talking but she eventually grows on you once you realize Lanhua is really a baby immortal, just 1500 years old compared to Dongfang Qingcang who is more than 30,000 years old. Now, before Xianxia newbies get dismayed at this age difference, it will be noted that Xianxia is a genre that deals with immortality and reincarnation, thus aging happens differently. In any case, Lanhua does grow up, becoming much less whiney and babyish as the drama progresses. However, she retains a baby's innocence and purity of heart, making her one of the most admirable female leads I've encountered in CDramas. Instead of the usual revenge-driven grudge-keeping CDrama characters, Lanhua sees the best in everyone and is quick to forgive and forget. She does not hesitate to come to the rescue of other people, with no thought of her own safety. Her pure heart, kindness and courage melt DFQC's heart, or rather, restore his emotional tree.

Roc Chen's sublime background music, also featured in Royal Nirvana, soars, a fitting accompaniment to the exquisite artistic visuals. The other musical pieces are equally stirring.

In summary, it's a beautiful and powerful drama that dares to make viewers believe in the supremacy of love.

I loved Dylan Wang in this series, his character was well written and very charismatic. The only eyesore was Esther Yu, who, despite of being reasonably pretty, and playing the role of a 1500 year old fairy, just had to behave like a 5-year old! Her acting was thoroughly irritating, and though in the later episodes she did start acting a bit mature, I just couldn't digest her kid dish behaviour. The story was interesting for fantasy genre, and the second male lead acted well too, I even liked the villain more than the female lead! I guess saying this is enough to say how bad she was! I wouldn't have watched it if it wasn't for Dylan Wang.

This drama is so good. I haven't felt this feeling since watching Korean drama Goblin. The director know how to tell a good story. He remember never to leave out any details, he always go back to it and explain it afterwards for the viewers to understand so you never have to feel left out. The chemistry between the two leads is good. The soundtrack is superb. Visually is stunning to watch. This drama kind of remind me of beauty and the beast, in terms of describing the relationships between the male and female leads. The characters development overall is good. Overall is a masterpiece. I'll say is worth checking it out if you're into fantasy/romance.

What a great show-I started a couple of weeks ago not realizing I had to wait a week for a new show - so I stopped until all the episodes were on Netflix and just made a night of it - LOVED every second of it- Dylan Wang never disappoints and fell in love with orchid . I love their love story - this show reminded me of ashes of love which is my ole time favorite show to watch (watched it 3 times already ) I know I will be watching this one again soon - It was such a beautiful story wish I could find the book in English - Give us more magical love stories like this - so well written - the plot was great and the actors were absolutely amazing - truly great show.

It's one of those shows that you hope will never end while you lose yourself binge watching it. I was drawn in right away. Some have called this show cheesy and that the main girl was annoying... but to each their own. I thought all of the actors were extremely talented in their overall abilities, and emotions they displayed throughout the show. Standing ovation for certain. The storyline wasn't as predictable as I expected and left me wanting to keep watching instead of going to sleep at a normal hour. If you like these kind of shows, you won't be disappointed! Hands down my favorite show I've watched in 2022.
