Amor entre Fada e Demônio (2022)

I know many people won't agree with me but I didn't like this series that much. I loved & enjoyed TTEOTM more than it.

Story is good. So was all of the actors acting. This is the second series of Yu Shu Xin I watched, her acting in this series is much better than Amazing Boyfriend. She overacted in Amazing Boyfriend or maybe her character don't know.

I skipped a lot of scene after they enter into mortal realm.

I liked Dylan Wang acting, especially when Orchid & Dongfang Qing Cang swapped their bodies, his acting as Orchid is very cute & funny . Didn't expect the turn of even of Jie Li & Dan Yin. Dongfang Xun Feng was irritating.

confesso que comecei assistir pelo dylan, nunca havia assistido dorama de fantasia então no início estranhei um pouco, mas logo me acostumei com a coisa toda. esperava q fosse sim um bom dorama, mas não esperava tanto! o dorama simplesmente entregou TUDO! história intrigante com atuações maravilhosas. a cada episódio a minha cabeça explodia com novas informações e com teorias. os efeitos especiais? figurinos? os locais, ambientes? simplesmente impecáveis. tô de cara!
ost’s perfeitas, foram todas pra minha playlist.
enfim, são 36 episódios mas vale a pena cada um deles! 10/10!

Couldn’t finish it

I enjoy slow development of romance as that’s more realistic. However, not sure how people can rate this so high.

ML did great and I seen other of his series and I think he did the best he could in this series. FL was annoying with her child-like acting. The child-like pouting and voice was over the top. It got more and more annoying each episode to a point where she looks like a dump and ignorant. I just don’t understand how people can think it’s cute. Some part where it’s supposed to be funny and cute, instead you’re thinking is the girl really that stupid. Storyline wasn’t great but wasn’t bad. I think pushing the child-like FL lasted too long for me.

Music was good. Overall, I think it could be a better series if I didn’t get so annoyed with FL acting. Please directors, stop with the overacting of child-like characters.

So - So

The title saids it, it’s okay, so so. Don’t know what the hype is about. I watched Eternal Love, Love and Redemption, Immortal Samara, Ashes of Love, they are way more interesting in story plot and character development. Seems like this is an easy pass for teenager audience. It doesn’t make you cry, just light humor here and there. CG and music is good but then what? Have to drop at episode 11. Pretty cliche to me that a cold emotionless man pretending he doesnt care and then. fell in love with a bubbly girl character. And they both pretend they are aren’t falling for each other…typical. Acting is alright, not a fan of calling good acting just because you can make funny faces or crying out loud like a big bawling baby as top tier acting skills.

beautiful plot and more beautiful settings

I love the casts especially dylan wang as the devil dong fang qing chang.

Scenery and settings of the story are breathtaking. Personally, I think the Arbiter Hall is the best designed as the setting for grooming love between the fairy and devil. m

the costumes are quity pretty too and distinctive when xiao lan hua is in the moon tribes.

I think the only cons is that I wish to see the supporting role more entertaining. The main leads did a good job though.

its only 16 episodes out of 36 in iqiyi now! wish i could read the novel!

edit: I just finished 36 episodes in this drama. damn I love Dong Fang Qing Chang character so much. Dylan Wang acts really good as him. Xiao Lan Hua character is lovely, but Esther performance is just alright as her. Somehow, there are scenes of her that is quite cringy and not as powerful. Aside from that, I have to give applause to actors that play Rong Hao and Chi Di. Their facial expressions and the way they carries themselves is top notch for the characters they play.

cons is probably ending is too abrupt! and too many rebirth and deaths of the lead roles hahha. it was really entertaining drama, love the plots and twists :)

Watched most of the episodes but could not bring myself to finish just yet

It started out kind of too cutesy for me and thought it would be like Ashes of Love but thankfully it was not that.

I was laughing aloud multiple times first several episodes. Some of the best comedy anywhere in C-drama. Script is top notch. And the acting by Dylan and Esther was done with great chemistry and skill.

It's one of the few dramas where the ML as bad guy truly makes you understand the vastness of his power in the first 2 episodes. I don't think any other fantasy c-drama has shown this level of depth for a character that starts out bad. Most of them tend to be too cutesy or just full of angst all the time.

Esther was great in this role. I also watched her in Moonlight and enjoyed her there as well. I do not have any problems with her voice. She plays cute girl roles and this fit her.

Dylan was really good as the ML. I watched him in The Rational Life and that is such a great show as well. Here, he plays someone without emotions in the beginning and slowly transforms. I find him more interesting in the first 1/2 than the 2nd half. But then again, I have not finished it.

There are multiple dramas that I watched while they were ongoing that I stopped towards the 2/3. Immortal Samsara, Love like Galaxy, and this show. I think after a while, we viewers just get tired of watching the same type of shows. I probably will finish this along with the other 2 one day. In the meantime, I watched and finished some other shows.

Being bad can be good. Surprisingly good!

I was pleasantly surprised by this gem. It is so entertaining, I don't have words to describe it. The acting is amazing! Everyone is perfect but special mention to Dylan Wang who plays the cold-hearted devoid-of-emotions devil, the devil with all his emotions, and the fairy (body swap) extremely well! It's Dylan Wang's best work yet ♥️. Dylan plays them in a nuanced manner and is extremely charismatic. Esther Yu's portrayal of the fairy's character development is subtle and brilliant. I love the small details, like changes in her mannerisms, voice, etc. Just great! This drama has laudable CGI and visuals-- artistic and elegant. The drama has the right mix of angst, comedy, bromance, and romance. Love it!
Please do give it a chance, you won't regret it. (Especially if you're not a fan of this genre)
For once, it's hard not to be on the devil's side. The bad boy deserves to get the girl.
If only they could have elaborated the ending... I love a happy ending, but this one seems a slapstick ending that was rushed, just to wrap up the drama on a high note... It's just 36 episodes. What's another 1 more...or 4... or 10. Just give us a season 2!

Lovely Drama

I have to admit I started watching this drama because the episodes of "Immortal Samsara" are slowing being translated into English and I needed another drama to fill in. At first I was not impressed with the the way the story line was going and I found the FL's voice a bit irritating. I decided to keep on watching and I am so happy I did. FL's voice grew on me and the storyline is now so interesting and enjoyable. The ML, Dylan Wang is terrific. I am not a familiar with any of the actors except Xu Hai Qiao who also acted in "Dream of Splendor", which I loved. He plays an excellent villain. I cannot wait to watch episode 11 and see what else transpires. By the way, all the main actors are so good looking and the scenery and costumes terrific. I would definetly recommend watching this drama. Just remember, it takes a few episodes for it to be enjoyable.

Disappointed in the Drama

I was looking forward to watching this drama only to be disappointed. The main Female Actress Ruins the drama for me. This is my second attempt to watch this drama because Yu Shu Xin’s voice is irritating and quite annoying. She seems to perform the same childish performance in her other roles and films. Every time she opens her mouth, it makes me cringe. I’m curious how she’s able to land lead roles. Li Yi Tong would have been a better fairy because she can portray an annoying person without being childish. I feel sorry for Dylan that he has to act with an ungroomed and untrained actress. It doesn’t seem like he’s putting much effort into this drama as with the other dramas he’s done. Can’t blame him. Although the drama had a weak start the storyline and script got better and more interesting after episode 15 but it still could use some improvements. The special effects were ok. I’m not sure if I’ll have the patience to finish this drama.

Magical Immortal Idiot Tour

***This is my honest opinion after watching the first six episodes. You can disagree, but you can't impose a totalitarian ban on my thoughts and freedom of expression. I am not a pop idol fan, and I approach my reviews not as any kind of stan, but as a person with training and experience in film and television. There is no cause for animosity towards me just because I uphold a certain standard for what I choose to watch. You can't stand Esther Yu being critiqued by me, then don't read my review. Simple.***

I knew I was going to hate this as soon as I heard Esther Yu's awful, whiney, cutesy voice as narrator. She's an entertainer, not an actress. I don't know what she trained as, maybe she is a pop idol and that's why she gets FL roles, but with that voice, that lack of acting ability, and her usual cutesy stupidity she brings to every single role, here's another drama for her to render completely unwatchable.

I've said this so many times, and I will continue to say it, innocence and stupidity are not the same thing. You can be a young woman who is naive and innocent, and still not need to be saved every few minutes, or constantly trip over yourself to make you more "relatable" by making you appear quirky. There is nothing endearing about behaving like a toddler, and anyone who finds that kind of Mary Sue behaviour endearing needs to grow up.

In this drama, she finds herself swapping bodies with Dylan Wang the ML, intermittently. All she really does to become the ML, is put her head down, and stop smiling. That's all she has the acting ability for, as she isn't a real actress. She doesn't even look like a FL, as she looks very ordinary, like Zhao Lu Si, another overrated actress, except Zhao can actually act if she is put in a comedy, but not in a drama.

I'm sorry to be hard on any FL, but I can't stand the Mary Sue trend. I don't expect women to act more like men, all I ask is that they act like adult women, that's all. I don't understand what is so good about watching an adult woman behave like a toddler.

The ML is forced to mimic the stupidity of the FL when he switches bodies with her, which he does quite well. The fact that our FL is being acted in the body and voice of the ML is a decided improvement over the FL being herself. Dylan Wang seems to enjoy this chance to be both the colourful anti-hero, and the out of body FL.

The impressive acting is coming by way of newcomer Zhang Ling He, and Xu Hai Qiao. Zhang Ling He impressed me when I saw him in, "Maiden Holmes". Xu Hai Qiao is an actor with a doughball face, not unlike Esther Yu's own. He is an average looking guy, but with talent! Unlike this FL, he stands out because he can actually act, so it doesn't matter that he may not look like a male model like many of the male cast in this drama. What I guess I am getting at here, is I am not about to lower my standards when it comes to the level of acting I expect from a Chinese drama. I think that would be a disservice, and I want to believe that just because casting pop idols as actors is trendy and popular, doesn't mean that they should be allowed to take the place of real actors who have trained to become actors. That doesn't mean that no pop idols can act, but a lot of them can't, like Ms. Yu.

Anyway, after forcing myself to watch 6 episodes of this, trying to skip over anytime Esther Yu appears or opens her mouth, I can conclude that this is another Xanxia that is going to drive me absolutely crazy because of the clichès. The fairies are feminine in the worst possible way (both childish and bullying each other, gossiping, doing all those stereotypical female things, but always being really stupid at the same time). The males are stoic and somewhat boring, though, ZLH and XHQ created characters that were beginning to interest me, and I would have wanted to watch more, had the FL been even slightly tollerable, but she isn't. Dylan Wang's character, though he is supposed to be a demon, and therefore the most colourful of all the characters, I found him to be missing any real personality so far, well, except for when he is playing the FL, but then he has to play her as annoying and dumb as she is. It's possible that his character becomes more complex and interesting later in the drama, but I can't really tolerate any more of the FL than I've already forced myself to watch.

Edit: Dylan Wang just keeps getting better and better! He has the best comedic facial expressions here. He's stopped being stoic and it is so pleasant to see a ML that is so expressive, even when it is played for laughs. Dylan Wang needs more colourful character roles, less typical stoic ML roles.
