my favourite Chinese drama and the only long c-drama besides the untamed that I've finished watching.

plot 9 : I lost my interest after ling xi's death, I felt she was so wronged and hated jiu chen. the rebirth was weird to me. but the plot overall wasn't bad so I continued watching. plot has some lackings unfortunately but overall it's pretty solid compared to all other dramas I'll say.

acting : 10 Ni Ni and Chang Chen y'all. are you kidding me with less than 10? also the rest of the cast- li dong xue (jing xiu), zhang zhi xi (qing yao), leo li (yun feng), Hai ling (yuan tong), na guang zi (shi san), Patrick zhang(si ming), guan xin (bao qing) and everyone else acted well,everyone deserves praise. thanks to their good acting I didn't cringe (ok I did, a li'l bit very few times) which happens for me in most cdramas.

there are many parts I want to point out of the drama and the actors.

1.Ni ni's slow speech after gaining ability to speak and still being awkward with it 👏👏👏 As after rebirth initially she was deaf and so she couldn't speak. brilliant acting as lin mo by Ni Ni. I was very very impressed,also because of Lingxi and lin mo's kindness, selflessness and good nature. it's not typical dumb girl bs. ling xi was playful yet kind but when she was reborn as ling xi, she became more calm and confident. I just loved how ni ni portrayed all these changes for her characters. you can just see how detailed her acting is! Can't fall for her more.

2. Chang Chen's acting is good. I gotta check out more of his works.
Jiu chen loved Ling xi and showed it through his actions rather than vocalising it but mf never says anything important to ling xi when he SHOULD.
he blossoms peach flower, peaches in the tree he planted/created in the house ling xi is staying at knowing that she loves it. he keeps remembering his days with ling xi... I get that he cares about ling xi, he loves her BUT how do you explain constant lying to her and leaving right before wedding while ling xi knows nothing? she'll move on?really? every freaking single time he makes decisions by himself that includes ling xi. always lying to her, hiding everything from her, playing with her feelings, forcefully kissing her and all the empty words, I just can't like this ML... even if he does lingxi favors he ends up upsetting her as well.
0/10 for ml for me no matter how much he did for her,for a god that old he should have had more decisive and strong personality. also jiu chen makes her feel betrayed during her last breath every freaking time, just explain it to her or leave her alone!!! the forceful kissing need to be gone from dramas. it's really really not cute, I hated every fckn kiss from jiu chen to ling xi and lin mo.

3. Jing xiu... I actually quite liked him. sad that he turned out to be evil by the end of the drama. but it's true that he was always a shrewd person even with his occassional nice personality. his and ling xi's friendship was cute though... hated when he killed ling xi's mother and bao qing...also his underling killed hua yan. I was on his side till then but after that, he was officially evil beside yuan tong,for me.

4.I hated when the two men kept pushing themselves on ling mo in the name of proving themselves to her and how uncomfortable they made her feel with their constant tricks and manipulations. not cool. don't like it. LET HER DECIDE whom she wants, don't pressurise her!!!

5. Yuan tong character was quite impressive, till the end she was vicious. I thought probably she'll stop scheming but no, she didn't. even after losing her immortal bones. her acting, expressions were good. feel bad for her brother though who wanted good for her, she actually got many chances to redeem but she kept on being how she is. kinda feel bad how she turned out in the end..

6. qin yuan and bao qing's moments were cute but short lived. sadly. all these unfortunate pairs were the essence of this drama. Coke Lee (sang nan) was good as well. like ling xi and her mothers reunion was also very sad as how short it was.

7. Qing yao was a solid female character in the drama,loved her. zhang zhi xi acted very well. her and yun feng's chemistry was good. their brother, cheng yan was good too!

the ost's are so so beautiful especially the one's by zhang bichen and Jane zhang!!! the bgm timings was perfect. I loved it.

This drama, the actors were robbed!! can't believe the drama and Ni Ni didn't get any award!!! also the supporting characters deresved awards as well.
