Amor entre Fada e Demônio (2022)

Forbidden Love in its purest form

I dig this. The acting, wardrobe/hair, CGI, and plot, are all outstanding even just the 10 eps in. I personally am fond of the lead's performances that perfect the dynamic of good vs evil, soft vs hard, dark vs light.. People are attacking the FL over her portrayal of innocent annoyance, but it is all in line to what this story is about. FORBIDDEN LOVE/ROMANCE/FRIENDSHIP amongst opposite personalities from opposite worlds.

This is only the beginning [ep 10/36] and I already am rooting for both sides through the treachery hidden in the god's and the devil's circle. Both have to watch their backs over their own people . I want Dongcang to protect Orchid from Rong and the king, and I want Zhang heng to redeem himself in her eyes. I want her to stay in the devil realm and also go back home.

This emotionally puzzling feeling of rooting for both sides (but mostly fl/ml) is really exciting. Dylan Wang's skill in body language, eye language and expressions are dangerously good in playing a dark lord. He is the standout for me in this series. Also, Though Esther has to play such a role, she does it well and quickly grows on you. She is lovely, brave, and good hearted... There is so much more story to unravel and I'm excited waiting on each ep drop.

I am rating this 9.5 simple because it's not over yet.

I LOVE IT SO MUCH

Ahhhh i love ittt!! It's really cute and light. I love how ML is already the strongest, and can save the FL. He's different from other male leads. To be honest, the SML in here resembles most xianxia male leads - that good guy who has big responsibility to protect the realm etc etc, the good-natured guy who should protect the world before his woman etc.

I just love it! DFQC is so baddass and handsome and XLH is so cute. I personally love Esther's voice. I find her 'naturally cute', unlike others who look forced to me.

The chemistry in this drama is ?!!! Chef's kisses. They look so perfect together and harmonious, if
y'know what I meant.

I love the music in here. It all fits my taste.

The CGI is top-notch. The drama looks colorful and visually stunning. Also the costumes, is just pure perfection for me.

I'm certain I can watch this nonstop all over again. I've been rewatching the episodes while waiting for the next release.

This drama may not be everyone's taste, but this fits mine, so yeah! This is 10/10 for me ;))))))

Quite boring

Honestly, when i started to watch this drama i had a great expectation, the scenery is pretty and the acting is quite good. But as long as i watched more episodes it just felt like i was watching the same one. Then when they got into the human world it started to feel a lil more excting, but then the flower semeed to be another person, her personality changed a lot (at least, that's how it seemed to me). I got frustrared at some point that i coudnt keep going on, really dissapointing. I won't say every thing is unworthy, as i said before, when they entered the mortal world it was cool, but still not enough to save it.

My Favourite Chinese Drama

I was not even a fan historical/ultra fantasy dramas before but omg.. watching Love Between a Fairy and a Devil while also simultaneously watching Alchemy of Souls has blown my mind. I am seriously in awe and now I NEED MORE 😍

The plot was amazing and they couldn't have chosen a better cast, yeah in the previous few episodes it got a bit slow because there were more scenes of others but between the last week and this week, they more than made up for it! The chemistry between leads is phenomenal, I really want to see them together in more dramas. Lastly I wish we could have gotten a little more in the ending or like a bonus episode but still, overall, I LOVED IT 🤌

Best Xianxia Drama of 2022

I don't usually write reviews for the dramas I watch, but LBFAD just deserves the praise and recognition. I have a hard time getting into xianxia dramas, and I usually end up dropping them halfway. So far, the only exceptions I have to this are Ashes of Love, TMOPB, and now, LBFAD. Esther and Dylan portrayed XLH and DFQC perfectly. Their chemistry is off the charts and their acting in the emotional scenes were done really well. LBFAD is a really enjoyable, lighthearted watch especially for the first few episodes. The story gets a bit angsty around episode 30 to 34 but is still pretty good. They tied up any loose ends quite nicely in episode 35, but felt that the ending was a bit short. 😢 I was hoping for more sweet moments between the main couple in the end. Aside from the story, the sets and costumes are also very beautiful and the drama OST is so good. I've been playing it nonstop for the past few weeks now. Overall, LBFAD has become one of my favorite shows and is definitely worth a rewatch.

HOLY SMOKE WHAT A DRAMA

This drama was really amazing and sooooo well done that i binged watched over a weekend!!!

I loved everything about it the leads the costumes the story line the plots the scenery everything that it had i LOVED IT.

Love Between Fairy and Devil is a xianxia drama, which narrates the story of forbidden love between a devil and a fairy., boy did DW pull off the whole Devil look to the highest point, his acting his expressions his costumes everything he did in this drama well worth and possibly more than a 10 . I also love how the drama sets a certain persona and design for each tribe and realm meticulously. For instance, in the fairy realm, the gods use bright and light outfits and headpieces with overexposure to the lighting. The fairy realm has a very heavy element of the Chinese culture, meanwhile, the demon/ moon realm has a hint of medieval elements in its location, outfits and more. The drama team also paid attention to those small actors/extras like the guards, their outfit is not sloppy, it is fitting to the overall persona they set. Such as the moon palace guards has dark and big outfit which looks intricate!

OSTs [10/10] —
One of the best parts of this drama is those musical scores. There is one for every situation ;)

◍ "Parting Love" (诀爱) - Faye Chan (the stunning illustrations we get for this intro song and the voice! I have never skipped this honestly, it turns out to be my favorite song from this drama, everytime it's played for the leads, it adds a special magic to their chemistry)

◍ "The Oath of Canglan" (苍兰契) - Li Changchao (the song for both Dongfang hellfire and orchid's first powers as well. I love how the singer shifts to a different pitch in middle and the upbeat music behind is just my style, my second favorite)

◍ "Loss of Memory" (失忆) - Yu Shuxin
◍ "Looking For You" (寻一个你) - Liu Yuning
◍ "Shore" (彼岸) - Jing Long & Jing Di
◍ "Longing" (念) - Shuang Sheng
◍ "I Still Remember That Day" (我还记得那天) - Shen Yi Cheng
◍ "I Want To Be With You" (想和你) - Yu Shuxin & Dylan Wang
◍ "Remaining Love" (余情) - Zhou Shen (smoothly ending every episode with his angelic voice)

The Visuals were amazing and set the tone of each episode or character that was been played at the time every realm is uniquely detailed and fleshed out, from makeup to forms of magic used to costumes, interior design, architecture, and customs.

Overall: This drama well worth watching if not for DW but for the story in itself ... Think i will do go a rewatch, as i have not come across any other of this type to grab me so..

The ultimate love story between a fairy and devil who's tribes are enemies.

My second c-drama after 'The Starry Love'. If you enjoyed the second lead couple from that drama, I feel that you will really like this one. We have an innocent girl and a bad boy with a good heart type of vibes. The main focus of the drama is the relationship between the main couple so if you are craving lots of cute romance - this drama is perfect for you. I absolutely loved the chemistry between the lead couple and all their romantic scenes + over all development of their relationship. There is so much humour in this drama which I very much appreciated but it also delivers well the key sad/emotional moments.

The beginning of the story is a bit strange so you really have to give it at least 3-4 episodes to really shine. I read that some people find the female lead's voices annoying and I must say it's a little odd at first but you get used to it. Besides, it really fits her character and the vibes.

In terms of plot, I find it a bit confusing after episode 31 - it seems like everything was suddenly rushed and that's why it's not a full 10 stars for me. But overall it's a beautiful story visually and emotionally and totally worth the watch.

Best Xianxia drama of the last t years

I am not good with words. So sometimes saying little is best. I am not exaggerating by saying is the best drama in it's genre for a while. The time spent for the cinematography is well spent, the actors went above and beyond, I think the best roles they have done in all their careers. Anyway it is a drama worth watching and re-watching. The story is really well written and it is perfectly told in it's length.

Anyway I wish that Esther and Dylan do another drama together their chemistry was off the charts and its been a while since I saw a couple so comfortable with each other.

Totally worth the money spent!!

Wow!!! what great drama..loved every bit. The acting the main leads were fantastic. They did justice to the characters.

My first time watching Esther, she was great!

Dylan...boy oh boy...his acting has improved tremendously...he portrayed his character so well, the emotional scenes really tugged at your heart...he makes you cry with him...his character switches were done so well too.

I am going to miss this blue eyed devil and the love of his life..little orchid.

Time and money well spent. 🥰🥰

I hope to see them both again in another drama.
