Legend of Fuyao

This is the kind of the series that you would watch when you are not busy doing something important. Just a little warning, If you are then don't even think about starting this series. It's damn addictive. There was not a single episode that I didn't like. It would've been perfect if they explained the ending in one more episode. That was the only drawback i could find in this series. I've been a fan of Yang Mi after seeing her work in Ten Miles Of Peach Blossom. Her chemistry with actor Ethan Juan is as amazing as it was with Mark Chao in TMOPB. She just never fails to amaze me.

I could NOT stop watching this! From start to finish I was completely mesmerised by the story and the characters!! After watching several Chinese fantasy drama's, I must say this one is my favourite! If you're looking to find something similar, I'd recommend the Three lives three worlds, Ten Miles of Peach Blossom! It's got Yang Mi and Mark Chao, and the chemistry between the two is also amazing! Ashes of Love is another one!

This is ground breaking, a female Chinese lead who is intelligent, not wishy washy and who makes legit decisions fast. She is also strong and although she likes the female lead shes not afraid to tell him what she thinks of him to his face. She doesn't love blindly but look straight at what he is and loves him anyway. What can I say about the male lead? Ladies we all know that Ethan does not disappoint but somehow he has managed to take it to a next level i mean..that shot with the smirk on the dragon bed...and that kiss..*you know which one*. But his character goes beyond that, strong powerful, complex and a realist...my gosh ...I can't say enough about this drama..it is a welcome relief after moonshine and valentine..started out promising with a great storyline but got messed up along the way and ended *rolls eyes* thank goodness for Fuyao!

Here for Yang Mi & Ethan Ruan. God both are awesomely brilliant actors and together they are just mind blowing. Their acting, their explosive chemistry & their respective characters, I just love love love. This drama is bloody awesome so far, great characters, story, plot, pacing, beautiful cinematography, aesthetically pleasing fight scenes & romance. This drama has it all, great heroine, who is smart, intelligent, uses her brains to make up her own mind, not a puppet or a damsel in distress, who just keeps fawning over the hero. She's got wit, courage, integrity and strength of character & personality. The hero is bloody awesome too, he's smart, intelligent, witty, cunning, devious, naughty, strong of both character & personality and his smile is just to die for. All the other characters are bloody awesome too .

ONLY WATCHED TWO EPISODES SO FAR, but it already has that good drama feel.Will update as time goes on. Have high hopes. Edit(22/06/18): 8 episodes in and its still great. It's not too rushed but it's not annoyingly stagnant either. They are slowly building up the story which I love. Compared to other dramas that move too quickly which causes the story to lose its novelty. This seems very much like people are putting a lot of thought and passion into it. Edit (30/06/18): (16 episodes in)It's really gaining momentum now and the story seems to be developing quite well. I realise I can't give away too much without using spoilers so I won't be updating this review often but I can definitely say this is an entertaining watch. Another thing to note is that this isn't a sappy romance and the characters aren't weaklings. Love, love, love this so far. Edit (14/07/18): so for quite some time the story seemed to be straying away from Fuyao but hang in there until about episode 30. Resolution for deep water nation does not disappoint me. Edit( reaches episode 42): it is a confusing time in the drama and some people don't like it but I am really enjoying this. I am still wondering what's going on with Fuyao and her stuff though (trying to be as vague as possible so I don't give out spoilers) Episode 56: YESSSSS. YESSS. SO CLOSE (21/08/2018)Final thoughts: I would definitely recommend this drama. It is well thought out and the characters are well developed. The actors, costumes and set were all amazing. The storyline is very balanced. Whether happy or tragic, this is a good watch.
