Miss The Dragon (2021)

Light entertainment

Perhaps it's because I'm new to C-dramas and Xianxia, but I don't get all the negativity about this show. Yes, the script is iffy with plot holes everywhere and a lot of repetition, barely justified by the fact that we see the main female character going through four different lifetimes with recurrent elements in each one of them. However, I found this drama entertaining for the most part. It's fantasy after all... does it need to make perfect sense? More attention to detail would have made a big difference though.

The acting is a bit stiff to start with but it evolves throughout the story and it isn't nearly as bad as I was made to believe. I imagine that was how the actors were asked to portray their characters. I came here after watching Love Between Fairy and Devil and I can see glances of Dylan Wang's Dongfang Qing Cang in his portrayal of Yuchi Longyan, aka the Dragon King. The second storyline involving another couple's love story could have been interesting but it dragged on for too long without giving us much information. I liked the character of Xue Qian Xun [Lord of Luofeng Pavillion] but his counterpart Qing Qing came across as childish and a little bit irritating at times.

I thought that I wouldn't enjoy the third story arc when the female lead is a General. The idea of a war, political plotting and fighting wasn't that appealing to me... But this part became my favourite in terms of the storyline and the acting. I think they should have ended the drama after that somehow. Instead, we're dragged into yet another life that was supposed to show us a superior level on the "cultivation" journey of this woman's soul but rather felt like a regression to the first, naive incarnation of herself.

The visual effects and characterization aren't the best, especially compared to those of LBFAD (since I don't have much else to compare it with). Some of the early fight scenes remind me of a video game when you chose a weapon to unlock powers while the character stands stills doing nothing. But this story is based on a video game after all.

It's unlikely that I would rush to watch it again. I'm sure there are better fantasy stories waiting for me in Dramaland. However, if like me, you want to see more of Dylan Wang or any of the cast's work and fancy some light entertainment, give it a go - it's not terrible.

Storia romantica e rilassante

Un vero peccato che questa storia di susseguenti reincarnazioni non sia stata sviluppata in modo + approfondito con + puntate ovviamente. Ci sono parti mancanti che si devono supplire con l'immaginazione. Malgrado la scarsità di ambientazioni e comparse, il drama è molto piacevole, rilassante e romantico., Da guardare fra un drama impegnativo e coinvolgente ed un libro altrettanto tosto da leggere. Il finale è inaspettato, del tutto non scontato e questo è molto apprezzabile. Sulle prime può non piacere ma poi a pensarci bene, è assolutamente godibile. Mai come loro due, parlo dei protagonisti, sono e rimarranno immortali ed eterni per sempre. Anche la storia secondaria è stata carina a parte il personaggio di Qing Qing che sebbene incarni un uccellino, non è detto che un uccellino debba essere cretino. Ma passiamoci sopra. SE qualcuno si chiede cosa mai possa avere trovato il Re Dragone in una mortale qualsiasi, il Re dragone lo dirà: lei è il suo destino, Risposta perfetta. Parliamo della recitazione: purtroppo è stato evidentemente richiesto ai 2 attori protagonisti, data l'età millenaria, di essere imperturbabili ed algidi come dei pali della luce, e alle due protagoniste femminili, una di sbattere gli occhioni e di agitarsi quando dorme in modo convulso e all'altra di comportarsi come una bambina stupidella. Da altri drama è evidente che questi attori e attrici sanno ben recitare, mentre qui li vediamo in ruoli stereotipati e a volte ridicoli. Peccato, Avrebbero dovuto dar loro modo di esprimersi di più ed in modo più naturale. Ad ogni modo è un drama che anche data la brevità dei video, ho visto in 4 giorni, molto carino e me lo sono goduto. Rilassante, romantico, godibile! Ben fatto il lavoro dei traduttori italiani.

It's a love story

In truth it's a love story. What's endearing is how our heroes manoeuvre the confusing ways around love. And that sacrifices and patience are definitely included when it comes to love. It's a love story worth watching what with the beautiful OST. I love the calmness in Yuchi as he goes through many lifetimes for the love of his life which started off by wanting to return the favour she gave him. Instead of returning the favour only, he ended up being by her side, protecting her for lifetimes. And in Xue Qianxun's case his cold demeanor is no match for a bubbly blue bird. And watching him changed around her was also a joy to watch. There's a lesson to be learned in this drama as in any dramas too....but hard to learn when you're already in love....that is not to simply do whatever your loved one asks of you. That's what Yuchi did when LiuYin asked him to save her mistress....and this starts off the many lifetimes they both had to live through before having a chance of being together.

Excellent drama Fantasy

Romance entre un Roi Dragon (Dylan Wang ❤❤❤) et une mortelle, interdite pdt 3 vies. Très beau mais assez douloureux tout au long de la story.
Les acteurs sont géniaux, les décors superbes, les OST très soignées et les effets spéciaux au top. Le couple 2aire est aussi très cute.
Bref, un très bon drama Fantasy, avec ce qu'il faut de Dieux, démons, mortels, punitions divines,etc. Je regrette juste qu'il n'y ait pas de réelle happy end (c'est cohérent avec l'histoire, mais on a tellement souffert avec eux tout au long du drama, qu'on aurait bien mérité une récompense :)

The love story of a girl and a dragon! I will love you for 4 lifetimes !

I love wang he di!! So of course I will watch this drama!I must say overall its a good drama. This gave me the vibes of Love of three lifetime, going through love and separation.

The love story of a girl and a dragon. The female lead saves a hurt dragon which she mistakes as a snake. She takes care of him and they build a relationship . The female lead has this strong ora that can help to repair the torn " Sky net" from letting the evil creatures hurt the humans. So the heavenly deities are after her, but the male lead does all he can to protect her. The male and female lead have to be separate for 4 lifetimes before they can be together. In her first life, they try to change her fate she marries a guy who can help her. She also gets her memory wipe away., but she slowly remembers the male lead and their love story. She drinks the forgetting potion and starts the second life. In the second life she is a farmer's daughter and eventually becomes the Sky girl who helps make it rain for her land. The third lifetime she is a general., and the fourth lifetime she is reborn into the Kun lun sect and trains to become a hunter of the evil creatures.

To be honest their story got a little bland, because it was mostly the male lead protecting the female lead from a distance. He truly loved her, which was very touching and heart breaking.

The second leads story was what kept it going I liked both the second male and female lead. The second female lead is a bird spirit. She is the best friend of the female lead. The female lead saves the bird spirit and they become friends. The bird spirit aka second female lead was there for all of the female lead's 4 lifetime. The bird spirit has a really cute love story with the second male lead who is charge of helping with when people die and their spirit gets reincarnated. He is an icy cold character compared to the bird spirit ( who 's cheery and cute) .Their love story is also bittersweet.

In the end it takes a sudden turn and someone who you dont expect to be evil is evil!!!

The female and male lead makes a cute couple but their kisses arent convincing, with the exception of the last kiss... More like a plant on the lips then kissing....

Bel drama fantasy!

Bel drama fantasy di quelli dove tutto è possibile,persino i draghi,i demoni e che nasca amore tra un drago e un umana.
Ambientazione xianxia in posti incredibili e con meravigliosi costumi.
Protagonisti un drago e una ragazza e una storia d'amore che ne dovrà vedere di tutti i colori,con sofferenza e ripetute reincarnazioni.
Purtroppo nonostante la bella storia risulta un po' lento il racconto.La coppia e la sua storia e bella pero si perde un po'.
Bella anche la seconda coppia con la sua storia più semplice ma bella con un bel lieto fine.
Il finale del drama sinceramente non mi è piaciuto,non è un finale triste ma mi sarebbe piaciuto diverso.
Piacevole visione nonostante la lentezza di certe puntate.

If not for the sad ending I would have given it a perfect 10

First of all the Dylan wang factor made me watch the show, I didn't follow any recommendations whatsoever. The other cast was also excellent but Dylan is my fav ... As far as story is concerned, I am not impressed but not disappointed either . Few stances felt like bit of a drag ..like she had to live four lifetimes before she can stay with him .. honestly speaking it was boring . Though It was a love story but the romance was lacking ... Their chemistry was indeed awesome still I couldn't find many happy couple moments between them ...it was sad and heart breaking ... secondly the repeation of fireflies,fallen patels, butterfly and fireworks scenes was too much ..I mean like come on! man! give us some variation she is living four different lives and you are showing everything pretty much the same.
Parallel leads story was much more in focus for first 20-25 episodes.
the character of female lead is quite weak and has given very less importance ,like it was all about her yin soul other than that her role in the show was not much influential. In fact the parallel female lead stole the show for me. She is bubbly and sassy I loved her. Still I must say both actresses were beautiful and very much loveable.

After that comes the fight scenes and VFX ..those were great .. Chinese dramas are best known for the VFX/fight scenes anyway.

Music was lovely ... It was soothing and very apt for the them of the show.

Parallel leads and side actors were equally talented .. each and everyone of them (from parallel lead's side kick to cat demon ) delivered the best.

Last comes the ending ... See! I don't mind sad ending but for this one I wanted a happy ending ...no !! Seriously !! Let me explain ... I don't feel sad when characters who happened to be living as lovers shared some moments get seperated... But in their case it was prolonged wait ... Suffering , regrets and feelings of missing each other ..for freaking 200 years he was waiting ... She also was subjected to four lifetimes just to be with him ....IF THESE TWO DON'T DESERVE A HAPPY ENDING, I DONT THINK ANYONE ELSE IN THE WORLD DOES.

It was sad blame it on the writer who screwed the ending just because he/she wanted to showcase his/her experimental mindset ..( GO TO HELL ! writer)

So everything was perfect ... But story itself written by an average writer who I don't know might be thinking of himself as Shakespeare.



Drama is totally worth a watch and rewatch as well

Not a perfect xianxia drama, but fairly entertaining.

Initially, it looked a bit nonsensical, but it got better from around episode 18-20 onwards, when Liu Ying was reincarnated as Feng Chenyue, a brave general. Actually, it was a refresher, as the previous 2 lifetimes: Liu Ying and Ruan Ayu looked like damsels in distress (which bothers me!) And the chemistry between Dylan and Bambi stood out at that part. Otherwise, the main parts were pretty meh :( I prefered seeing their offscreen interactions. They would have much better chemistry in a modern drama, like Tom and Jerry type.

I think that the writers of MTD wrote Dylan's character as an eye-candy than an actual protagonist. This doesn't show his true potential. He's a much better and a more expressive actor than what is shown in MTD (although he was expressive in his and Deng Wei's scenes).

The show savers of the show were actually the funny scenes here. Like, when Qingqing often catches Yuchi Longyan and Xue Qianxun in an awkward position whenever they argue XD and many more XD plus the trio: Yuchi Longyan, Xue Qianxun and Qingqing, when they interact! Lol they put me to splits XD XD XD and ofc, the Feng Chenyue part, which was the most interesting and the best written part. And I have to add: the chemistry between Dylan and Deng Wei (I wish this was BL though).

The second leading couple also had good chemistry and were very entertaining. I wish the main cp was as well written as them.

Out of all the characters, my favourite is Qingqing and Feng Chenyue. They are the only characters which stood out.

All of the actors did a decent job in their performances.

The writers needed to do better. The plot had loopholes, some scenes made me cringe a bit, a lot of parts were cheesy, but I liked that sudden twist in the tale. This is not a perfect drama, but according to me, it's a good one-time watch, although the trailer showed a lot of promise.
And overall, if you are expecting a lot of entertainment, like pure entertainment, some comedy, then this if for you. If you're looking for serious logical xianxia drama and not eye-candied characters, then it's ok to give it a miss.

Master Piece of 2021

Cast is amazing. It really interesting cool drama makes us cry and laugh. Dragon King's love is really a rare beauti thing in this show. Specially love the friendship b/w the 1st lead &2nd lead. I like this story (also for the 2nd lead)bcoz of this two main lead char has never misunderstood each other.
The drama was good but I really don't want to support it becoz of it's unsatisfied Happy ending. I really want 1 more episodes from the production for a proper happy ending...
Love the 2nd lead (a lonly star& blue swallow),hope they stay together forever.

A bit frustrating but beautiful overall.

I read the comments on this and nearly gave up on it, I'm glad I ignored them. I loved this. (I had hints the ending was bad, but it still nearly gave me an aneurysm.) The love story between the main leads is both heart-wrenchingly beautiful and sad. Not gonna lie, after everything they went through, I wanted more from their ending. But apparently, this is a thing in cdramas so I'll be careful if I decide to watch more (already caught The Wolf but can't watch it because I know it'll make me cry too.) It's the same for the secondary couple as well, since they aren't the leads their love story was a bit slow to develop, literally happened while the female lead was going through 4 lifetimes, but their background did make me tear up. There are just certain people you wanna beat up for their idiocy (such as a certain heavenly emperor who's clearly terrible at it, these immortals need a democracy or something.)

As for the villain that supposedly came out of nowhere, I'm usually dense about this kind of thing but even I figured he was sus pretty early on. So it hurt, because I knew it would hurt the leads, but the twist was honestly expected.

What I really wish we got more of was interaction with the world and with more characters, because a lot of those feel like loose threads. From the first life alone we never learn what happens between the FL and the woman she worked for as a maid, they were as close as sisters but after her mistress had to face a crisis, there were no scenes of a reunion between her and the FL, We just got a fast-forward to the next life. The first few episodes especially is almost exclusively the male and female lead with other characters sprinkled in here and there. While I understand why, since the focus is the love story between the leads and time was limited, it was still irritating because I wanted to know! What happened? Were they still close friends? Did they talk at all? That was the only place the story felt lacking for me.

I loved watching the cool fight scenes, as far as I care both male leads are total yandere characters for their female lead. I'm also not usually a fan of 'lifetimes' stories, I tried it with web novels and gave it up, but I surprisingly loved this. Maybe because everything was always connected.

Romantic story with unexpected ending

This story is very beautiful between Dragon king and human. Story talk about 4 life of human and dragon keep take care and help her all of her life. The story has both drama and romantic that is interesting ! Plus, the character in drama is cool ! every character is charm of itself no nonsense character anymore.

Actors is very good especially Female Lead Bambi Zhu ! She changed her character every life and she made people del her pass life completely that is very talents like Xian Ji in Love and Redemption. Moreover, her improvement of character is very good.

Personally, I think male lead some scene is not nature. I knew that his character is keep cool but second male lead can do it well. However, he did it well overall.

Ost. Is the best and link with all life of Liu Ying !

However, everything go well but in the end made me and other disappoint. I hope that in the last ep. will be so sweet and very cute ending.
