Yun zhi yu

This is a remarkable original story with a superb quality production. It was spectacularly well made.

A work of art, literally. The sceneries, backgrounds customs, music, fight choreographies.... Everything about this drama speaks quality.

The script is fantastic and the dialogues are tell you just enough. This is the kind of series where you cant event trust what you see, because you never know if what you are seeing is the full picture or just part of it. The art of deception.

At some point You will think you have everything figured out and that there's holes in the plot and how the characters are so dumb to have let the villains deceived them for so long.... and them the plot twist comes!

I honestly didn't expect those turns of events at all.

The weakest part about the drama was unfortunately the main leads.

I was looking forward to finally watch Ester Yu in a drama where she wasn't just winning and talking like a 3 year old baby the whole time ( she has only dramas like that) but to my disappointment playing this character she had one expression the whole time. It was extremely monotonous to watch. You didn't feel a difference between her scenes at all. I could not perceive any emotions from her.

My favorite character was without a doubt the elder sister Zi Yu, played by Jolin Jin, what a performance, she literally lighted up the screen everytime she was on. What a personality.

And the second male lead and second female lead ( Lu Yu Xiao and Ryan Cheng) stole the show with their chemistry, gazes and interactions, it was very powerful to watch.

Many people are upset about the ending, and if we are being honest they could have continued for a few more episodes and gave us proper closure, BUT, to me what they told us in that ending is clear and makes sense, so im satisfied with it.

Amazing series, go watch this jewel.

"The Journey to You" is a refreshing blend of espionage thrill and personal journey. Yun Wei Shan is not your typical spy - she's layered, filled with complexities, and yearns for a life beyond deceit and disguises. Her infiltration into the Gong residence is a mix of suspense and profound character development.

The house itself, with its secrets and dangers, is brilliantly portrayed. Gong Zi Yu, the rebellious nobleman, brings in a fresh dynamic. Their relationship, though starting on rocky grounds, evolves into one of the series' strongest points. The narrative is mostly tight, though some episodes feel stretched.

The cast performs admirably, with the leads showing a wide range of emotions. While some secondary characters feel underutilized, the main storyline keeps the viewers invested.

Overall, "The Journey to You" is a recommended watch for those who want a drama that offers more than just romance and action. It's about growth, discovery, and the choices we make in the face of adversity.

From its compelling storyline to its remarkable cast and breathtaking cinematography, this drama offers an unforgettable viewing experience.

The plot is intricately woven, filled with twists and turns that kept me eagerly anticipating each episode. The character development is outstanding, and I found myself deeply invested in the lives and struggles of the protagonists. The lead actors' performances are nothing short of phenomenal, bringing their roles to life with passion and authenticity.

One of the standout aspects of "Yun Zhi Yu" is its stunning visuals. The picturesque landscapes and beautifully crafted sets transport viewers to a world of enchantment. The attention to detail in the costumes and the overall production design is commendable, adding an extra layer of authenticity to the story.

Moreover, the drama's exploration of themes such as love, sacrifice, and the pursuit of one's dreams resonated deeply with me. It not only entertains but also leaves you with valuable life lessons.

In summary, "Yun Zhi Yu" is a masterpiece in the world of Chinese drama. It combines a gripping narrative with outstanding performances and exquisite visuals to deliver a truly unforgettable experience. Whether you're a fan of romance, fantasy, or simply great storytelling, this drama is a must-watch that will leave you enchanted and inspired.

Totally worth the watch! I am surprised how little I've never heard of this drama until I watched it.

The plot is innovative, the romance is subtle and without the standardly overused c-drama tropes; and due to the censorship in China it is, of course not physically explicit.

It has impressive acting, leads and supporting roles included. The fights scenes are well-balanced, eloquent, and entertaining. Great overall visuals and cinematography.

I do have an issue with the ending, which is too open-ended and unsatisfactory. I believe the characters and storyline deserved a better ending, and there is currently no season 2 planned or even being whispered about.

Other then that - a great piece!

I liked the series as a whole even if the ending is unsatisfying. I loved the setup and world building, I thought the acting of most actors was decent and I loved the story. This is why I gave it a seven.

I gave it only a seven because I had a problem with the actress playing the sister. What was the purpose of the older sister's role anyway except as a comic relief? Even as a joke she was truly terrible. I'm not sure if it was the actress herself or the acting directions but the result was embarrassing and actually unnecessary.

If the whole side story of the sister was cut off through the editing, nothing whould be missing in the story. She was loud, weird and looked deranged at times.
