Love Between Fairy and Devil

Superb sci-fi drama I've watched recently! It delicately, ingeniously, and diligently interpret the prominent beauty of the ancient Oriental. As an Overseas Chinese, it allows me to see the great virtue and morals from the interactions/chemistry between characters. It was mind-blowingly great! Not to mention the editing of it is extraordinarily aesthetic! In my opinion, the editing of this show is comparable to the Hollywood movie. You will regret it if you don't give it a shot 😉

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.

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.

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.

I finished rewatching this series for a second time.

Dylan wang is flawless in his performance. He has such a charismatic presence. Netflix has brought many interesting shows outside of American TV to my feed that I appreciate since American tv has been pretty boring for a while. There are not many actors I feel Interested in following their career., Other than Henry Cavill. His biggest appeal is his personality being, he is a self proclaimed nerd. I don't know much about Dylan wang but seems like many Asian actors are more fun and less entitled than many American actors.

Dylan wangs performance feels closely to Henry cavill in the Witcher. He demonstrates strength but also flexibility. A dynamic performance that kept me watching. I decided to watch meteor garden after watching love between fairy and devil. I really enjoyed his part, but really all the male leads were fantastic. He definitely grew as an actor from each role. His annoyance look is by far my favorite from any actor I've watched. He can look so annoyed but also concerned. When he smiles, it's infectious and adorable. He's very believable as a ML. I'm hopeful to see him in more roles. The FL in this I felt like did a great job as well. The swapping of roles each was great. I didn't love the high pitch voice but she was sweet and made the change easier to separate. My biggest gripe is that Netflix didn't add in the extra episodes after the finale that is available to other networks. This show is a must watch. The storyline never felt boring. So much happened and I wish we had just a little more to end the series. Wish they had a season 2 to keep it going but that seems unlikely. Great show and definitely one to rewatch.
