Really great TV Series
Love the story, love the cast! I didn’t expect too much, but this TV show pleasantly surprised me in every way! From the very first episode, I was captivated by the intriguing storyline and the depth of the characters. Each episode leaves me eagerly anticipating the next one, and I find myself emotionally invested in their journeys.The writing is top-notch, delivering clever dialogues and unexpected plot twists that keep me on the edge of my seat. The chemistry among the cast members is palpable, and their performances are nothing short of outstanding. It's refreshing to see such a talented ensemble, and they bring an authentic and genuine feel to the show.
Moreover, the production values are superb, from the stunning cinematography to the well-designed sets that transport you right into the show's world. The attention to detail is commendable, and it adds to the overall immersive experience.
At this point, having watched 12 episodes, I can confidently say that this TV show is an absolute gem. It has everything I look for in a series: compelling storytelling, brilliant acting, and a perfect balance of drama and excitement. I can't wait to see how the story unfolds further, and I'm already recommending this show to all my friends. If you haven't started watching it yet, you're in for a treat!

This series will surprise you.
I started this late because I didn't think it will be interesting for me. I decided to watch it while watching The Legend of Anle just to fill my time waiting for next episode of TLOA. It didnt grab me at first episode and actually left it alone until i again ran out of selection to watch. Loh and behold, I now favor it more than TLOA. I just completed episode 14 and felt the need to drop a review to those considering this series.I am guilty of not entertaining this series initially because the artists casted here are not ones I am familiar with let alone the concept of 3 men after one lady. They are all equally good ones so far so I cant even decide yet who I favor to win her heart.
It is not just about romance and getting there. The story is told so far in a well balanced manner. I enjoy the fantasy aspect of it too.
Give it a try. You may end up surprising yourself loke I did.

Excellent series
I started watching Lost You Forever after seeing A Love So Romantic. I'm new to these shows but love them. In Lost You Forever I thought the acting and story line was very good. I'm hooked and will look to see all 39 episodes. I'm at 36 now, waiting to finish w the Eng translation. I feel like the main Princess character is an excellent actress. I've seen comments where some don't think she s pretty enough. I think she is and her personality shines through her work. This love triangle of her, Jing and her brother is interesting. I really like both male roles and feel their acting is really good too. Jing (Deng Wei) is so diverse in this role. So many things pushing his life around. Anyway Im interested to see how Season 1 ends. I hope we don't lose too many of the main characters as they all figure in immensely . I have not read the books and won't til later as I don't want to compare. Anyway I would recommend this one but not sure what typical Asian viewers enjoy, but I think it's great and the costumry, the acting and story line is really good. One more thing a girl taking on a male role in the beginning episodes due to story line, that hooked me, it's hard to do, and I think she really did a good job, but then totally transfurmed back into this beautiful princess role later and to me was just amazing....Thank you.Considerați utilă această recenzie?
Stirs up your emotions
I greatly appreciate the depth the actors bring to their characters in this series. I have a particular fondness for Tushan Jing among all the male lead roles. While I understand that he may not resonate with everyone, I personally think he's doing an incredible job in his role. The interactions between Tushan Jing and Xiao Yao never fail to bring a smile to my face. Their chemistry is truly captivating, and I find their scenes heartwarming. The thought of them working together in another fantasy romance series brings me joy. I am eagerly anticipating the second season to see what unfolds next.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Game of Thrones
Overall it was a good series. I enjoyed watching. However, there were exaggerations in some places, and things that should not be in other places. We watched Yang Zi. as a male for the first 20 episodes. It was like a different episode. Afterwards, the series fell apart a bit. When it was learned that she was a woman and dressed in this outfit, she was surrounded by three men. Everyone took advantage of the girl as if they were getting honey from the flower. It didn't happen to me. Such a female figure does not suit her. Someone is sucking your blood. He takes it the way he wants. beating. It's dragging. Another is acting like a slave. Another does not remove hair from his nose. Then the immortals were supposed to be, but the girl died, the man she loved died. They were resurrected. It has become the fantastic of the fantastic. These were exaggerated. Now, if it is not right for a woman to act against someone who saves her and bring her back to life, the fact that the woman who treats her well is bad, but the fact that the person she calls her brother has an egotistical approach to kill her without knowing her, causes the woman to become attached to this man at the level of love. A huge discord. Opposition. I couldn't form a bond. People have little conscience. Availability of women is another matter. I didn't like these. I loved her devotion to Jing, and her inability to connect with her grandmother and the person who was touted as engaged was irritating the story, so to speak. The woman is cheating. Even though Jing knows that he is trying to kill the Prince, he does not go into those matters. She doesn't make a point of her brother trying to kill her. He remains a spectator to the woman's relationship with him. Which your brother's wife was going to say, but I think she was killed. We didn't see it. They said that he does not look like a child, but that intelligent and spiritual personality never awakens. Could such purity exist? What kind of a leader is he, as well as a very smart, intelligent, personality, wise person. In other words, these were not taken into account when processing the characters. The pen is gone, the screenwriter. And let's come to the main topic; The Kingdom of Xiyan has become a complete Games of Thrones. My clothes were stolen from them. Second, they became like members of their government. Clans. Approaches of men and women who are related to each other. Your grandfather's behavior and clothing in the same figure as those Kings. It's Chinese work, there's no glamor to it. Where are those silks? A dark palace has been created. Suitable for him are sons, grandchildren, princesses and so on. I thought I was watching Game of Thrones. It's very obvious. I think it will be the second season of the series. Cang became King. He was also surprised. I think the fights will continue. Just like in Game of Thrones. Of course, if I'm lucky, I'll watch that season too.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Wuxia done badly
This drama draaaaaaags and has zero propulsion. Everything is foreshadowed. I mean what are the chances that all three male leads just happen to converge at that particular town at that particular moment? Come tf on. I tried so hard to stay with this but it's so fucking boring. Can I also say just how low budget the set design is especially given this is Wuxia and most of the set could have been computer generated? That palace was empty af. Sigh. I just didn't like any of the male leads and I wanted XY to fucking stop smiling in the face of abuse and unending degradation. How was this even a popular book?Considerați utilă această recenzie?

A messy story out of focus
The drama is a downer. I was impressed by Yang Zi in Ashes of Love and had watched several of her dramas since. But not this one. LYF has been promoted so much by Tencent compared with other drama productions done by the company (e.g., the highly acclaimed The Longest Promise that was premiered before LYF without any promotions nor any announcement about the date/time to premiere). Given all the resources from Tencent to invest in LYF that was adapted from a popular novel written by a famous writer, I had very high expectation over this drama. Not only are there intense promos done by the production team prior to and post the premiere, there are also a huge cohort of book fans to hype it up. But after watching 18 episodes, I felt like wasting precious hours off busy work schedule on a draggy and sleep-inducing boring drama. Not everyone had read the book before watching the drama. Therefore the plot should have had some highlighted focus to give ordinary viewers intriguing points to follow. There's not enough suspension in each ep to invite me to look forward to watching next ep. I gave it a shot but ended up fast forwarding each ep A LOT to skip those lackluster and confusing scenes. There're no stunning visuals in the drama as how the novel described the main male leads should be. I'm disconnected to their acting either. The only thing I can rave about is YZ's crying scenes that were convincing and touching. The plot so far is badly scripted, chaotic here and there, and leads you to a rabbit hole. I just don't get this multiple love lines between one heroine and the 3 or 4 ordinary-looking MLs. In particular, that white haired demon sucking blood out of the FL disgusts me a lot. It's so awkward and not convincing.If the storyline had been better scripted and directed with an interesting plot development at a faster pace, I might have been able to stick to the drama by overlooking other flaws mentioned above. But without reading the original novel, I was completely lost in the first few eps. I stuck to see perhaps interesting arcs emerging and also for YZ's sake until ep 18. Nope!
It's not worth continuing. I quit after that.

OVeRHYPED. SILLY PLOT
I am impressed with myself for managing to watch 20 episodes of this show, all thanks to TJC. Although the beginning was good, the story went downhill later on. I must say the actress did an outstanding job portraying her character, but the plot was disappointing.1. It made no sense to develop a romantic relationship between CX and XY when they were shown as bro-sis from the start. They had no chemistry.
2.TJ was a dead weak af character. I tried my best to like him, but I couldn't.
3.XL was a better match for her (but he too was a big red flag but all of us love a red flag), but knowing that he was not the endgame stopped me from continuing to watch the show.
Sorry to say but this goes in my list of worst cdramas.
*** This is my opinion you don't have to agree with me. ***

I am loving this.
I watched this primarily because of YZ, she's my favorite chinese actress. But love it the more i watch the episodes. Love the story (simple but with depth and heart). The cast is amazing even the young xiayao and xuan and the other actors in episode 1 are all great. Yang Zi has matured a lot in her acting, more depth and understanding of the emotions she's expressing. The male leads did not disappoint either. Love each of their characters. Love the set design, cinematography, the script. Kudos to all involved in the production. Can't wait for the next episodes.Considerați utilă această recenzie?

Wasted potential
I quit this drama around episode 10. I pondered this decision for a long time, because in terms of cinematography, costumes and, most importantly, set design, the drama looks far above average. I abandoned this drama because of the plot, which literally and figuratively is torture.You know, I have nothing against violence, suffering, good torture scenes, but what's too much is unhealthy. Tormenting someone for the sake of tormenting someone is just boring and unpalatable. I think by the third episode I was already fed up with how the creators non-stop emphasize how miserable and tragic FL is. That's the only theme of this drama - she is unhappy, lonely, betrayed. Instead of a healthy relationship between the four main characters, we have BDS&M. Literally. I tried to like any of the 4 main characters, but I can't, because there are more negative traits in any of them than positive ones. In the first episodes I got curious about Little 17, in the next episode they show that he's an asshole. You know, showing the hero's journey from bad to good is cool, but not when all 4 main characters are bad from the beginning. I can accept that I haven't learned the motivations of each of the 3 men so far, but not that I still don't know the motivations of FL.
There are no dynamics here. Every scene is shot at exactly the same pace. It doesn't matter if they are fighting each other or talking at a table, if she is running away through the woods or he is erotically sucking the blood out of her - everything is devoid of dynamics, as if in slow motion, which is tedious and annoying. The pace should change, give the viewer some adrenaline, then a moment to calm down to attack again with something dynamic. Monotony kills interest.
In conclusion - technically the drama is nicely done. I very much appreciate the open air (but the green screen is bad). The plot could have been interesting if it wasn't so monotonous, depressing, beating around the head with the idea of "you're supposed to love FL because she's had a hard life and is so weak that she couldn't even save the cat" (save the cat is the motive). If the pace and characters of this story were varied, more dynamic instead of torturously pathetic, this drama would really be excellent. But it isn't. It is boring. On top of that, the music, which is average and of which there is simply too much, is terribly tiresome. I've watched 10 episodes and can't recall a single pleasant scene. I don't see any point in torturing myself further.

Definitely must watch over and over again
I'm hooked they really did a great job portraying each of their character very well! From the story, their visuals, bgm, cinematography effect and especially their acting! Can't contain my happiness how close the drama from the novel... It was the same as what I imagined while reading the novel last year and I did reread the novel for 5x already... The novel was beautifully written and the drama is perfectly done... The minor changes gave justice to the drama story flows... The FL is the best among the rest... She doesn't care about her own image or visuals to gave life of her character and no questions ask about her acting she really nailed it, it's getting better and better from one drama to another she did from the past. She's great!The male leads also did a wonderful great job... Love them all...

Story Disconnected Ep 1 to 2
I am lost watching this story. It starts out with nice costumes, beautiful effect and settings. Then the woman involved with 4 men. As a Chinese born in the Chinese Opera, I know of a good and bad story. Most Chinese movies and drama have been concerned with kung fu and fighting. But they don't focus on making story strong as Korean Drama.Chinese productions are very choppy and too much talking that dragging forever. What is the story? What happened t the little girl the gap between she left and grew up in a man clothes?
