A Noiva do Dragão (2021)

Not exactly what i expected with an unexpectedly good ending

I had high expectations for this one after i saw a clip of it in Stairway to Stardom (2017) and had been waiting for it from the time i saw it was supposed to be a thing but unfortunately it failed me really bad. The only good thing that came out is the ending and 2nd couple story. VERY LONG REVIEW ALERT!!!!
In short, it starts off well, is a mess for eps 10-30, last 6 eps are amazing.

Story: Honestly, the theme of love that transcends over several lifetimes is particularly appealing and beautiful so i expected better. After watching hits like EL and L&R, i was disappointed in how a similar plot was executed here. Granted that this was not a high budget drama like them, but that doesn't exactly explain this terrible mess of a story for the main couple, though it was way better done for the 2nd couple. Now, someone tell me why the hell did the dragon king fall in love with the FL? It started with the ML trying to bring something to become a powerful immortal, but ended up injured and became a snake and got saved by an innocent Liu Ying, the FL. Our ML wants to pay back to the FL for saving him and then boom! He is in love with her. Why? He literally gave up whatever he was doing or supposed to do, went against everyone, got hurt a million times to save our damsel in distress of a FL, sacrificed everything possible for her. The FL kept repeating her pitiful lives, and falling for him everytime. Their love story was rather boring and repetitive. He keeps watching over her for 3 lives, saving her, and then she dies and forgets him. And it repeats again.
On to our 2nd couple. Like everyone else, i loved the 2nd couple story, chemistry and characters a lot more than the main leads. Their story was actually very well written with a constancy. It was understandable how and why they fell in love and it was interesting to find their past. It was a show stealer for real. Sometimes i even felt that the 2nd story is the real plot, using the main story as a cover.
About the antagonist, he was a complete shallow and evil a-hole.

Ending: Was that ending written by someone else? Like the main couple's story got a lot better towards the very end. The 2nd couple got their happy ending. The ending was amazing and really a redeeming factor for the whole drama. Spoiler: they technically died, but SML sent them to a different world with only them two there, with their pasts, memories and forever.

Characters and acting: I didn't like the main couple's characters. They weren't even written properly. The whole time the ML was arrogant with little to no expression on his face and it looked like he was angry and questioning "why did i take this drama again?" The ML had practically nothing to do other than save the FL and sometimes kiss her. The fl was always a pitiful little girl and she does that well. The 1st and 2nd lives roles suit her more than being a mighty general in her 3rd life. (Actually im just a little biased because she keeps reminding me of Xuannu from EL, so i just don't think she suits a brave heroine role well. Don't come at me, im not spreading any hate). there wasn't much chemistry as well between them.
Now to my beloved 2nd couple. They had a cute chemistry, their acting was very well done, they had nicely written characters with a good backstory. It didn't seem like it was just his debut for the SML, he was that good. The SFL was charming and cute.
i loved the bromance between the ml and sml more than the 1st couple romance. In fact the ml's interactions with everyone had a lot more emotions, but with the fl, he felt like a robot.

Music and production: The music was good, cgi looked really fake but pretty. Costumes were very pretty. Oh and did those wolf demons had to have such funny doll like appearance? 🤦🏻‍♀️ all other demons were in their human forms but some demons looked so silly and funny.

I'd not rewatch it. This story should've been about the 2nd couple with the 1st couple story as a side story. As for the main couple, can watch it, or skip their parts, but do watch the bits of the 2nd couple. Anyway watch it or not, you won't be missing on something great, because its merits don't outweigh the flaws.

I want season 2 with same cast

To be honest I don't expect it in the end what happened. It connected me with all my emotions. Acting skills of all the cast are just superb there is not only a single flaw it was just perfect but i really want its season 2 with same cast. Let them live freely and happily this time . Dylan Wang and Deng Wei you two seems to be perfect for your roles sometimes rude and cold and sometimes fallen in love whole heartedly. Both of you are holding a killer smile feels like uuffff i wish I could meet you once in my life. Zhu xudan and Pan mei ye you two are the prettiest girls I've ever seen.
Both of you have finest features and perfection in every of your act. Amazing brilliant performance I'm anxiously waiting for season 2 please please please continue it further

Beautiful Drama but Lacks Soul

I watched this drama for Dylan Wang which got me through the 36 episodes. It wasn't bad per say but it attempts to have the same success of Ashes of Love but doesn't do it as well. The costuming, acting, and music wasn't bad but I didn't enjoy the plot that much. The chemistry between the leads wasn't that good which is bad because this is a love story across lifetimes... Some of their scenes were better than other but I often left the chemistry and story of the second leads outshined them. The latter have also felt rushed which was annoying because it felt like it was supposed to be climatic but it wasn't. I just wanted to skip through it to know how it all ended. I wouldn't really recommend this unless you really like one of the leads like I do.

Not boring and a very lively story.

I loved the development of the relationship between Xue Qianxian and Dragon King when they were trying to learn about mortal love. It was comical in the beginning and slowly got serious. On and off the second female lead will still be funny. The competition between two male leads is really interesting to watch and the scene where Xue Qianxian and Fate immortal pretended to be Ayu, was priceless.
The character of Xue QianXian as a cold Lord,played by Deng Wei is quite impressive. Love the OST.
It is worth the time to watch.
The story goes on for decades and crosses lifetime but don’t let that dissolution you because it’s written really well that it’ll be enjoyable. I personally don’t care for story crossing timeline but this is different.

Good Fast Paced Drama

I get it if people dropped it however for a fantasy low budget drama this actually gets a good review 👍👍

Bambi Zhu as Female Lead really nailed her part as well as Wang Hedi as Male Lead

Acting, can we really score these 2 leads down? Answer No. The story really set the tone early. This is a love story that goes over multiple re-incarnations. Meteor Garden yes bigger budget and bigger cast but failed to set the tone between the leads for a good 40 Episodes. This drama only took few episodes to really set the right tone and direction with Bambi Zhu & Wang Hedi.

Bambi Zhu is an excellent actress, her record with major dramas speaks for itself. Wang Hedi one of most charismatic actors I have ever seen, only 23. This combination is a hit. No Surprise they are pairing up again in another drama.

This is a fast pace drama which you will fly through in a good 4 days, not rushed either.

How Was I Supposed To Know A Little White Snake Could Talk To Me? I'm Not A Snake, I'm Dragon King!

I Am Going To Admit On July 8th, 2022 I Watched My Very 1st Chinese Drama Which Was This Drama "Miss The Dragon" I Watched A Short Where Lui Ying Found A Little White Injured Dragon, Yes I Knew He Was A Dragon, Not A Snake. That Is What Caught My Attention, And That Is What Brought Me To Want To Watch This Drama. I Didn't Even Know The Male Lead Yet, But When They Finally Showed Him He Is Cute, So Gorgeous... (My 2 Most Favorite Actors Whom I Love, And Adore So Very Much Are Wang YiBo, And Xiao Zhan. But I Have So Many More That I Love Too...) Wang HeDi The Very 1st Chinese Male Lead That I Started Liking, Whom I Now Love.
I Didn't Like The Story Line Very Much, I Hate That She Had To Live 3 Life Times... Her 2nd Life, And Being All Alone By Herself, ANNOYING!!! And Even The One Time She Remember, It Still Didn't Go As Planned. The Little Sparrow, Her Boyfriend Got The Raw End Of The Deal, Getting There Memories Taken From Them Just Because They Fell In Love, Then She Got That Meteror Mark On Her Forehead. The Girl That Played The Sparrow Girl Was So Adorable, I Though She Herself Was So Cute,, And Adorable.

The Acting And Everything Was Great, And Awesome... I've Read People Complaining That Wang HeDi Was Lifeless, With No Facial Expressions... He Is A Dragon King That Has Lived For 100's, And 100's Of Years, He's Been Tortured, And Turned Back Into A Baby Dragon. He Can't Even Be With The Girl He Wants To Be With, And He Has To Wait 3 Life Times, And Even At That, Everything Is Still Not To Expectations... So I Think His Faceless Expressions Were Perfect...

I Though That Wang HeDi, And All The Other Actors, And Actresses Did A Wonderful Job Acting. All The Roles, And Parts Played Were Portraited Very Well By All.
This Is My Most 1st Drama I Ever Watched So It Will Always Be One Of My Favorite's And When I Accidentally Come Accross It I Will Watch It, Because It Is Very Fun, Funny, And Exciting.
I Will Admit There Are A Lot Of Twists, And Turns That May Come As A Shocker At The End. Anyways If You Love Wang HeDi, And Dragons, Then Thie Is A Good Movie For You... Like I Said The Only Thing I Didn't Like Was The Story Line... Everything Else Was Great, And Wonderful!!! Even When Wang Hedi Dragon Character Was So Cool, And So Awesome!!!
I Watched All 37 Episodes In 3 Days So If That Doesn't Tell You How Addicted I Was To It, I Don't Know What Will. Just Because I Didn't Like The Story Line Doesn't Mean It Was Not A Fun, And Exciting Story, Because It Was.

Its TRASH. Dont waste your time!!!

So I watched this c-drama a couple of months ago and thought I should do a quick review before anyone else wastes their time on it. there are about 37 eps I think and it had a lot of potential but.,. This cdrama wasted 29 eps of my time. I don't even know why I stayed for that long like I should have just dropped it. It was so repetitive and I urge you not to waste time. long story short - the girl and dragon have many lifetimes and in every one of them, they can't stay together because I think the dragon brings misfortune to her. Anyways I was tryna stay hold thinking it will get better like if you have ever seen any lifetime cdrama you know it's not that bad. It's the same fall in love, can't be together x3 and then happy ending. But NO in this one they fall apart 100x lol. anyways ITS A WASTE OF TIME DONT BOTHER WITH IT. only the first 10-15 eps were okay-ish. I gave it 7/10 only for the beginning and the ost. It was trash. bye.

Too much heartache for me

First off - I wanted to complete this drama, I love Wang Hedi. He is perfect for these characters who start out emotionless and who develop deep feelings after a time. I don't know how his portrayal could have been described as a 'plank' - you can see the feelings in his eyes. He and the FL had chemistry - not the kind that blows your mind with passion, but a quiet kind of soulful connection that makes you long for a happy ending for both of them. After all the hype I read about the second couple, they were just so-so for me. She was flighty and silly most times, and he was more the plank than anyone. Still, I would have liked a better ending for them too.

I'm not bashful about wanting happy endings - they are why I watch these fantasy dramas. If I wanted real-life, I would stick to historical productions (which I avoid unless they are not filled with tragedy and endless violence). So, I left while the going was good and while I could still imagine them living through another reincarnation and finally having the happiness they deserved.
