Best xianxia in 2020
This is the best Xianxia drama I have watched in 2020. Highly recommended if you only want to watch 5 wuxia/xianxia drama in 2020. To me, this drama is of the same level as Ten Miles Peach Blossom and Love and Destiny. Will definitely bring you on an emotional roller-coaster ride.
The story developed well and the rhythm is great. Not too fast or draggy. The director spent a lot of time to make sure every dot of the story is well connected and that the audience can follow the development. I have watched too many dramas where dots are not well connected and audiences are left with wide gapping holes. Love and Redemption is definitely one of the better dramas where a lot of efforts on logic and rationale are made to avoid audience losing track of the plot.
The casting director did really good job in casting the characters. I love xianxia drama that gives a very contemporary and modern look. All of the good and bad characters in this drama look really gorgeous. Even the small and insignificant actors/actresses look really good on screen. They didn't just find any Tom, Hick or Harry. The casting team spent a lot of time to make sure the ppl who got their roles look amazing on screen, making this drama really pleasant to watch. The funny thing about this drama, both the lead actor, Cheng Yi and lead actress, Crystal Yuan, aren't the prettiest in the drama. I especially like the persons who played Hao Chen and Chu Ling Long, really good looking, even more than the main leads.
This is the first time I am seeing Cheng Yi and Crystal together. They look nice onscreen. It's rare when you find both main leads aren't the best looking persons in the drama hence they don't have to carry the baggage of 'idol' when they perform. As audience, you get to enjoy their pure acting talent and be taken away by emotions that the script writers have scripted. This is a nice feeling as an audience, to feel the high and low of the story without having to worry that about the pretty face of your idol.
The martial arts choreography is AMAZING. The person who taught them the martial art movements really deserves a prize coz all the martial arts movements in this drama is so swift, crisp and beautiful. We can hardly see any flaws or awkward movements and there were a lot of fighting scenes, all looked so perfect.
The funniest character in this drama goes to Teng Se, zhuan ji's pet. He is hilarious 😂. I won't mind having a pet like him as well.
After finishing the drama, I watched it twice again because I find the story line so beautiful.
The set is beautiful, with a lot of details, the production team spent effort in picking outdoor scenes, many scenes look really nice and pleasant to the eyes. The studio set looks great too. I especially like Shao Yang's Mansion, ie, Zhuan Ji's house. Every room, garden, hall look so crisp and comfy. Not at all cheesy or cheapskate.
The costume was OK, just nice for this drama. Ost was good too. Songs were contemporary. I am a big fan of Li Qi and he sang one of the sweetest secondary songs so I am quite happy. The CGI in this drama was a bit 'oppfff' but I guess it didn't matter too much coz the characters looked really good.
