Ancient Love Poetry

My favorite movie of summer 2021. I have watched it over and over 10 times, each time amused by a new discovery about movies.

First thing first, I'd like to show my biggest appreciation to the writer/s who gave the role of Shang Gu and Bai Jue to Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kai. They both portrayed their characters successfully and I give them my enormous respect for that. In the first few episodes, I was a bit reluctant to continue watching the series since I could not find the chemistry between the two of them. However, I pushed myself to continue it and by the time I reached episodes 20 above I got myself hooked on it once again. And that's basically the success of Zhou Dongyu and Xu Kai as each of them played two characters (Shang Gu/ Hou Chi) and (Bai Jue/ Qing Mu).

This was my first time watching Zhou Dongyu and I must say I like her a lot as she could express her sadness with her eyes only. Her chemistry with Xu Kai was also on point and I hope they both could work together again in the future. Another thing that I like most in this series is the soft colour combinations in each costume. They did not need to use complicated accessories to match up the costume, the simplicity itself makes the costumes look attractive and elegant. I just love to see Xu Kai in all costumes he's wearing here. He looked very charming as well as handsome on all of them.

Overall, if you are a fan of Chinese Wuxia or Xianxia series, "Ancient Love Poetry" is something you definitely can't miss. I believe you all will enjoy it. Thumbs up!! Cheers!!

I really enjoyed the series Ancient Love Poetry. The slot story is amazing, the CGI are beautiful, and the actors' acting are very good.

The story made me feel very touched about love story of Bai Jue and Shang Gu. He has secretly loved and protected her for 60,000 years. He just wants her to have a peaceful and happy life even though he has to accept many sacrifices.

The film also showed me Shang Gu's growth journey, from a mischievous, carefree God to a responsible person who knows how to protect the peace of the 3 worlds. Shang Gu's love for Bai Jue is very pure and very deep. Her simple dream is to be able to join Bai Jue every day to practice swords, drinking and fly kites. That love touched me because it was so simple, sweet and painful.

Xukai and Zhou Dongyu had impressive performances. I cried and laughed together with their stories. The actors really worked hard and made an effort to create an excellent work.

I recommend everyone to watch this series, it's really great!

The story is beautifully told and the CGI Comparing to the other cdrama is quite adequate although it lacks a little in some places. You can truly feel every emotion with the character as the writers spend time developing them. But the primary emotion that strikes hard is grief and separation. The common theme in the show revolves around love and sacrifice, which is a beautiful message to convey especially if your protagonists are powerful Gods. Xu Kai charmingly potrays Bai Jue with sincerity and Truth, Zhou Dongyu perfectly captures the playfulness of a young person. Some other Notable performances that must be praised are Liu Xueyi and Jenny Zhang respectively. You will be hooked from the start and end up binge watching it within a day or two.

I am in the status of sinking into every details of the film because of the story, acting and graphics and vfx. Everything is beautiful and emotional though happy or sad thru the line. You will find out lots of details that tell you abt the love and sacrifice among Shang gu and male lead, the performance from the casts really stunt and touch your heart, you will not be regretted to spend time with this film.

Worth to enjoy!!
