Some wrote a very biased review because of their favorite LBFAD which also occupies the same timeslot as Immortal samsara. (Of course, a competitor fan indeed!) As a fan of both series, Immortal Samsara is worthy of watching too. It perfectly portrays the elements of a xianxia drama. I can see the hardwork and effort of the cast as well as the entire production team. Give it also a chance so you will see the beauty of the series. I hope they will also win a lot of awards for their hardwork. I truly believe that the cast and the entire production team deserves an award too. I rarely finish a drama but when I do I will stick and be addicted to it like a gum. I'm starting to shift from LBFAD to IS..hahaha.

This is the only drama with no filler episodes.. I enjoy watching the entire show.. There is a sense, flow, and the story is well written. Usually the mortal realm part is boring but in this drama, I enjoy watching it.

I believe the people who gave this series a negative biased review are the fans of the previous CP of the leads in their previous projects, fan of other "competitor dramas", or basher of the leads. I know it because I'm like that too in the past but now I become maturer and respectful of other peoples hardwork.

I pray Cheng Yi and Yang Zi will have a third collaboration as the leads in the near future...Fighting!

Usually I dont like shows with such length. But Thank God I watched it and my time was totally, totally worth for it.

Although you may find 8th to 14th episodes a bit draggy but trust me first 15 episodes are the foundation of the future events and are crucial for the upcoming episodes.

And once they come in Mortal realm you will watch the episodes by replaying it again and again. Such is the storyline, execution, cinematography, casting , their sizzling chemistry and superb acting.

Talking about cast :- Cheng Yi - Oh his eyes do all the talking. He has perfectly act 3 different roles in this very single show. And I am totally in love with these 3 different characters.

Yang Zhi - She is fabulous, charming, adorable, pretty, smart, bold, funny, great actress as always. She is like life of the show. She balances the seriousness of this show with her charms.

Story:- As the name says it all, Immortal life's tragic love story. Their story holds you even though sometimes it is painfull to watch. But not that painfull that you wanna drop it instead you long for more. That kind of show is this.

Why it surpasses AOL in terms of plot ?

• AOL plot was straight and predictable with great acting. Whereas this show is unpredictable in terms of storyline with also great acting and its thrilling when you wait for " Aah what will be the next thing ?"

MUST WATCH for XIANXIA FANS.

Immortal Samsara is such a GORGEOUS, romantic, magical, fantasy Xianxia show! Love love the Hanfu (Traditional Chinese Clothing) costume, and the beautiful cast - especially Cheng Yi, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi, and Li Xinze! The traditional Chinese heaven palaces and places are well, heavenly, and the special effects are STUNNING.

If you love Ashes of Love or Love and Redemption, you will love this show!

You can find this show on Youku (advanced viewing) and Youtube. You should definitely watch it! :)

Immortal Samsara is the best xianxia fantasy drama ever. If you like Love and Redemption and Ashes of Love, you will love this drama. The drama starts out slow, but it gets really addicting from episode 6. Cheng Yi and Yang Zi's acting in this drama are outstanding. I'm so blown away by how well they portray their characters, I can feel the pains that they're going through and they have amazing chemistry. They are the best male and female lead duo. Cheng Yi was born to play an immortal deity who gives it all up for love and ends up being hurt by it. I can already imagine those tear-filled scenes.

I was waiting for this drama to air since its filming was complete. I looked forward to this series because of the story. I also trust that Yang Zi and Cheng Yi could do justice to their characters. As expected, they didn't disappoint. Whenever they are in the same scenes, they tell the story of two fated lovers' sweetness and sorrow. They are able to draw the audience into their characters.

Even though the series is based on Taoist and Buddhist religious framework (e.g. People or objects achieve deity status through cultivation), the overarching theme is to love and care for the world, an essential teaching of Confucianism. The latter dictates the main characters' behaviors and decisions. For example, Ying Yuan's name literally means "answer to the deep (the world down below)." As a deity of high rank, Ying Yuan is not aloof but very into the well-being of the world.

The ending of the story came as a surprise to me because it was unlike the other series of Xianxia genre (a combination of Chinese martial arts and folklores or classical stories). As I thought more about the character of Ying Yuan, his choice for the love of the world than his own was reasonable. Yan Dan grew to know his heart and understand his cause. At the end, she forgave him and supported him. Her decision to follow Ying Yuan was understandable. The ending is actually very uplifting. All Ying Yuan's life, he thinks that he didn't deserve to be alive because he was born of a sinful father. However, his very own existence became the salvation of the world. He answered this world with his love even though he had to give up his own.

I love how Yangzi and Cheng Yu portrayed their characters in this drama. I earnestly hope that they can collaborate again.
