Yu Jiao Ji

Allen Ren impressed me deeply in Miss Crow With Mr. Lizard. So here I am with my 4th Allen Ren drama. This turned out to be a gem.

Dilraba Dilmurat as spiritual master Ji Yun He and Allen Ren as merman prince Yuren Changyi prove their worth by keeping this angsty drama engrossing. The acting, not only by the leads, but by the supporting cast as well, is compelling, drawing me in to a world where supposedly upright celestial immortals try to keep unruly earth immortals in check through police-like squads composed of spiritual masters.

Ji Yun He, as one of the best spiritual masters or demon tamers in Thousand Flower Valley, is assigned to tame merman Changyi. Their love story develops amidst upheavals in the immortal realm that could have devastating effects in their world. How Ji Yun He and Changyi, along with their allies, prevent devastation is a fascinating adventure.

The writing, three-dimensional characters, sets and OST gave me vibes of my favorite cdramas Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms and Ever Night 2.

This drama was really enjoyable, the effects are amazing and the music is gorgeous.

The plot is good and intriguing and there's sweet moments throughout the show ( from all couples). I love Dilraba and I have watched all her dramas and her role in The blue whisper although not bad didn't do her justice, is a bit too bland for her.

Was my first drama watching Ren Jia Lun and I liked him so I will look for more of his work.

They had chemistry together but in my opinion their relationship had more potential and they could have develop it with more depth and passion, but it was good overall.

The greatest thing about this drama is that the stories of the other characters and couples of the series are as interesting and fascinating as the main couple's( if not more) so it doesn't ever get boring.

I have only a couple of things I didn't enjoy as much. The first is that Dilraba's character spends half of the show sick so there's a point where it feels a bit draggy and you actually want her to die so the story line can start changing and getting into action.

The second is that there's not a lot of change in the scenery so most of the episodes happen in the same 4/5 places and this also feels a bit repetitive.

The end wasn't bad but a bit rushed and not very detailed so I had to watch it a few times and read my dramalist comments to understand it fully.

Entertaining! Watch it!

This is a good drama with good acting and a good story line. Dilraba becoming more ethereal the longer Ji Yunhe suffered. You won't be dissapointed in watching this drama, it's just fantasic.
