Amor e Redenção (2020)

Wow, just wow, step aside american, Chinese will take it form here!

Romance, Action, Magic, 3 realsm, xianxia, wuxia, convincing story and chemistry what am i forgetting? Never mind, this story has it all!

At first sight, i was skeptical about warching this drama since i am not into ancient, but i am glad i tapped the ep1!

I got hooked at 1st ep. The couple was cute at the beginning but didnt cobtinue till end since the plot got serious, but unlike many dramas, i didnt mind. it got me hooked the more!

I love the setting and fight scenes, they are so enjoyable. and the magic spells were ....woah!

The ost certainly got me in the mood to cry, feel iconic and even sing along!

And i got to commend the story writer, it was a unique plot. Because at first, i thought it would be a remake of ashes of love, but no! Its unique! Infact i loved this drama more than ashes of love.

I cant praise this drama for long because i might be carried away...
Good character, chemistry, love story, xianxia....everything! I highly recommend this drama , give it a go and im certain you will love it as much as i did..

Si tu ne l'as pas encore vu, tu peux te lancer!

Je ne pense pas qu'il soit encore nécessaire de plébisciter Love and Redemption aujourd'hui. Néanmoins, il s'agit là du plus gros coup de cœur que j'ai pu avoir pour un drama à ce jour. Je me devais d'au moins rappeler à quel point il vaut le coup de lui donner sa chance.

Il va être difficile d'aborder l'ensemble des points sachant qu'il s'agit d'une histoire très dense et complexe. Si tu n'es pas initiée aux Wuxia/ Xianxia ou Historique avec de la politique, je déconseille de commencer par Love & Redemption. Je pense que pour pouvoir l'apprécier de son mieux, il faut s'être familiarisé aux codes des dramas historiques + fantasy chinois. La quantité de personnages, de lieux, les titres honorifiques etc.. est vraiment conséquente. C'est pourquoi je dirai que c'est son point faible, il n'est pas facile de rentrer dans l'histoire car au début tout est un peu confus.

MAIS! Par la suite, je garantis que le reste en vaut la peine.

Si Feng est mon personnage préféré tout drama confondu. Son histoire d'amour, l'ensemble des actions qu'il mène, son passé, tout est extrêmement bien écrit. Le personnage féminin est aussi très intéressant et j'ai trouvé qu'elle se distinguait des autres personnages qu'on peut voir dans les dramas chinois qui sont parfois un peu nunuche, niais. Elle a su se détacher de ces stéréotypes tout en gardant les codes du genre. Les personnages secondaires, les méchants sont tous excellents de par le jeu d'acteur ou du scénario.

Il y a de nombreux rebondissements tout au long de la série, des moments plein d'émotions, du suspense... C'est une série complète qui n'a pas encore trouver son égal. Je ne peux que vivement conseiller de tenter au moins une fois en gardant à l'espirt que le début est un peu compliqué à prendre en main mais une fois familiarisé, ce n'est que du plaisir :)

BEAUTIFUL~!! Chaotic yet Fascinatingly Heartwarming and satisfying. <3

I don't know where to start. This drama's probably the longest for me to finish but also one of fhe most worth while of all.

Lemme start it by giving my earnest feedback; It all started as a very mysterious and adorable that gradually ended with so much schemes and fighting (Which I love as well). The thing here is that as time passes by you'll start to hate the supposedly 'Good People' due to their over judgement and hypocrisy and that very reason made me felt that bitter hate and distate. Thankfully this drama do provide justice and 'redemption' so almost all of those issue dissipated eventually when it neared its finale.

Secondly, I love how this drama served us different variety of feelings and emotions. It truly entails and showcases different ways and path of life and thought us/me how to look on the brighter side although it may look ridiculous. I feel like this production delivered in every aspect it possibly touched and has successfully handled them accordingly.

Of course, 'NO' drama is perfect and all of them mostly has flaws and broken holes but I feel like this story deserves to be place on a different level; separating it from the rest of it's origin. It is that impactful to me and it has successfully secured a great place in my heart.

Story - 10, The story is a continuous roller coaster of events that can make you feel differently each time but it surely is with a purpose. A well written drama with great plotd and overly irritating Minor 'Supposedly' Protagonist and Main Antagonists. It also overflows with love and tenderness coming from various individuals and their relationship towards the people around them. So much lesson to learn and way of life to appreciate and adapt to.

Acting/Cast - 10, SPECTACULAR!! i love all of the artists in this production. All of them truly delivered and expressed the greatest extent of emotions and actions their characters should present and I can't ask for more. I'm truly moved and triggered. Hahaha~ Special mention to Liu XueYi, as this is the first drama of him that made me hate him to core. Also wanna shower some love and appreciation towards the main leads and the minor leads. They're all splendid.

Music - 10, No discussions needed. Music is Perfect from the first Track till the end. Each and every Music touched and moved me to their own rhythm and melody. I enjoyed it the most among all of the OSTs of over 60+ dramas I watched this year.

Rewatch Value - 10, Solid 10. Highly RECOMMEND! Everything about this drama is spectacular and lovely in it's own way and deserved nothing but recognition, love and support. I would watch it a gazzilion times if needed.

Overall - 10, Any scores lower than 10 is absurd. This drama may not be perfect but there's no such thing as perfect drama and this one is like a cut from a very expensive and royal piece of clothing. Must treasure and protect.

IF you find my review helpful please let me know.

unconditional true love , excellent acting ,masterpiece art work.

you are going to regret if you miss this drama . i have seen 100+dramas but never seen such a wonderful one .story revolves around yu si feng first leader of lizae palace and chu xuan ji daughter of sect leader chu. si feng and his fellows are restricted to remove the given mask or make new friends and never plan of marring. where as xuan ji is a loveable youngster without 6senses .there meeting and unusual bonding between the both leads to tremendous new series of problems . later they realize that their relationship and fate is not something new but a tragedy that has been tangled up for a thousand of years .unexpected plot twist and mind-blowing identities makes the series more enjoyable are interesting .more over by the end you will surely fall for the ML and its actor cheng yi. the love that si feng shows for xuan ji and trutha about false reality ,freinds and relationships make the show wonderful.

The C-drama has an amazing storyline and never gets boring!

I am only up to episode 13 but it is so good! Already from the start, the chemistry between the lead characters is amazing and sweet ❤️ This Chinese drama is very different and new to me. It has an amazing storyline and it never gets boring. So I really recommend others to watch this drama! ☺️?
This drama’s lead actors is the first time I’ve seen them. The ML has a certain aura about him which makes his character different from many others. The FL is so cute yet clueless about feelings. Haha. I have seen many Insta videos about the drama and I just decided on a whim to watch and I don’t regret watching! ?

Only just begun

I can't say that a series has started and continues to satisfy it's viewers more than this one has! I'm finding that from the acting, cast chemistry to the sets, nothing but excellent production and effort by all. I'm falling in love with all the couples and all the characters are solid with depth! There's tons of cute moments that just have you smiling and I'm thoroughly loving this series especially with Xuan Ji and Si Feng as the MLs. The secondary couples/characters also draw their own share of love from me. <3 It reminds a little of Ashes of Love but Xuan Ji's actress portrays her well, with well thought out expressions that feel/flows so naturally - you don't feel any disconnect between actress & character when you watch her perform. We get great progression and so far, I'm only on episode 16, nothing seems too rushed. Though for Si Feng, there's a slight shift in the span of 2 episodes earlier on that quickly does away with his language difficulty. It was cute & could have stayed around a little longer.

Now back to the series! I hope you enjoy even more than me :)

Worst characters ever written

Sorry to whoever likes this show but this is not for me at all.

I tried giving it a chance. I truly tried. I hated it right from the 1st episode but I told myself, you know what, let's give it some more episodes, after all, we're only at the first.

But holy hell. There is nothing redeeming at all about the characters. If you pick all the worst traits of every fictional characters and put them together, you get the main and few recurring characters.
They are so horribly written, I couldn't focus at all on the story or the visual effects. I couldn't continue at all.

Sorry but I really hope people write better characters in future works. I really don't think it's fair to the actors and actress to play such horrid characters.

original

A thousand years since the battle between the demons and heavens took place, the souls of the Star of Mosha and the God of War are sent to the mortal realm to serve penance.

In the mortal realm, Chu Xuan Ji, daughter of the Shaoyang Sect Leader, is deprived of her six senses. At a tournament, she meets Yu Si Feng, a skilled disciple of Lize Palace who was born on the same day as her, and the two develop a friendship. Promising to meet again, Si Feng returns to his sect, where he is punished for breaking the rules and forced to wear a mask that could potentially harm his life, while Xuan Ji leaves her home to train in martial arts.

Four years later, their destinies intertwine anew. While traveling together, recovered memories from their past lives surface, revealing secrets and conspiracies involving themselves and the three realms; demon, heavenly, and mortal. These revelations have a profound impact on their relationship, creating an imbalance in all three realms.

this story is soo soo beautiful at first i was maybe i shouldn't watch it or you i might not like but yall it's worth the watch it is such a beautiful drama and they get a happy ending. I loved both of the main leads acting especially the male lead. In mh current life right now I would want someone just like him. This drama is good I recommend you all to go and watch u won't regret it. I loved the supporting cast too but the one main thing I hate in this drama is the hairstyles for the women specifically the main lead and her sister for the first couple episodes that the only thing i actually didn't like but everything else was good and though the songs were good/fine for this I just wasn't feeling it for this drama but overall it was good.

Predictable ending

For highly rating drama, I didn't enjoy this drama as its score review. Perhaps I am fed up with male main roles who has cool style from other titles, so I think this one (Yu Si Feng) is no different. I came to Love & Redemption, only to see Crystal Yuan, because I like her role as Mo Shan Shan in Ever Night. Chu Xuan Ji is different character, but I like her as well.

The acting is good, but not special. The story didn't offer shocking scenario, so it will not really make you feel too sad, too angry, or too excited. The notable characters in my opinion are Wu Tong, Yuan Lang, Liu Yi Huan, and Teng She.
The other characters I like are Zi Hu and Wu Zhi Qi.

The soundtracks are good, both opening and ending. But I am not interested to singing along.
Overall, I can say this drama is fit for those who expecting happy ending. But still ok to watch for those who seek for conspiracies because there were some conspiracies even though predictable.

The Good:
- Their wigs are really nice. Hairlines look great and the hair looks real.
- The chemistry between our main couple is strong. Some skinship and cuteness abound fairly early on in the series and even in her innocence, those scenes give me tingles with how sensual they can be (and by watching Sifeng react to it). Their angst is also equally explosive, and I can feel their yearning, love, and hate viscerally.
- Cheng Yi. He smiles a lot more in this than he did in the last series I watched him in (Stand By Me) and is generally more expressive in his emotions, which I love. It's a shame his smile is so often guarded because he has a gorgeous smile that totally transforms his face. I also like that he gets to act a little off-kilter sometimes, like when he's embarrassed or unsure or transfixed by Xuan Ji's close proximity - it breaks away the otherwise cool-monotone exterior he tends to display and I really like seeing that.
-Motives are clear. I understand why the good guys do what they do, and why the bad guys do what they do. It's not muddled in misunderstandings and weak writing.
-Plot twists are really good. I found my excitement renewed a few times with each twist.
-The small bits of comedy are great. I love Teng Shi, the heavenly beast. His physical comedy cracks me up. Sometimes it's a little cringe, but I'll take the good with the bad, haha.
-Whump. Whump. Whump. It's yummy. I'll never get enough of Cheng Yi in physical or emotional pain.
- The chemistry between our FL and ML is great. They look genuinely in love, and their misunderstandings and grievances are warranted and painful to watch. I really enjoyed them as a couple.
- The villains are formidable, despicable, and easy to hate.
- WHAT BLESSED BL IS THIS?! Episode 55 + Hellllooo? Lmao. We stan for it.

The Not So Good:
- Have patience with the first quarter of the series. Misunderstands are pretty rife between our first and secondary characters.
- Have patience with Zhu Xuan Ji. Her ignorance without her six senses can be very frustrating.
- The Lover's Curse mask Sigeng has to wear is h i d e o u s and covers his face for way too long. I was itching to skip past the episodes where he wore it (dying to see his face again), but for the sake of not missing any story, I trudged through it. It takes a hot minute before you get to see his face again, but for the sake of not spoiling the plot, I won't tell you when, since its important to the storyline.
-The Lover's Curse mask is supposed to have certain consequences and it seemed like there were continuity issues with it in the storyline since there were instances that should have definitely called for it to react and it didn't.
- The CGI is Power Rangers lvl bad, but honestly, I'm used to it with the xianxia-fantasy series, and I was able to look past it for the sake of a good story and great casting.
- How many packets of fake blood do these poor souls have to put in their mouths and spit out? (I'm looking at you, SiFeng). It lost its effect after a while (and that's saying a lot for a professional Whumpee like me). I also had an issue with some of the close-up shots of the actor's and actresses' faces in regard to their makeup application. I could often see the double-lid eye tape under makeup, circle lenses, foundation lines, and lipstick (like when SiFeng was especially sick and wore that ghoulish pastey lipstick).

Cliche, Cringey, Boring development with a Stupid FL

I am on 11th episode.. this show is so cringey... predictable... and boring...... After finishing "love between Fairy and devil"... or so... I don't know.. but this show doesn't not deserve it's 8.8 rating. people who blindly rate 10/10 are just stupids. It's so boring and cliche... i can't feel emotionally connected with the FL... the development between FL and ML is so poor. I don't care if FL fell in love with 6th senior or 2nd senior, that's how the development is. There is no positive point in FL... ML is forced to fell in love with FL... there is not much development shown.... no strong points.

They took too much Liberty in changing characters story... ... The plot is about reincarnated Yusha (Goddess of war) and a Devil (star of mosha). Till now.. there is no developments for that... ML is being an idiot oogling crappy FL.. her character setting is too weak. ML has to be an idiot to fall in love with her, when he is one of the most powerful disciple in his sect.

Instead they are in a cringey development for love or romance between these two arch rivals.


I am thinking if i should continue this shit or drop it and rest.

*Spoiler from synopsis
This show has lots of logical errors... It introduces FL as a past hero reincarnated as a girl who lost all 6 senses. But they are so stupid or did they think we are stupid? What is meant by losing 6 senses?
She is able to hear well, she express her emotions of suprise


For more critical review look down:

For your information,
6 senses include
1. Taste
2. Smell
3. Vision
4. Hearing
5. Touch (sensitivity of the skin)
6. Self awareness
6a. emotions,
6b. realisation of existence,
6.c ability to differentiate good /evil,
6.d intuition,
6. e ability of Self-control over bodily desires,
6. f believing in existence other than them (God, ghost)
6. g ... ETC

So basically if you loose your 6th sense... U will be like a dumb creature. But here
The FL is able to hear and feel emotions of suprise.. sad.. disappointment.. expectations.

FL doesn't have any charm... And the developments between ML and FL is not believable... even if she die in the next episode.. i won't care.. it's like that.




Should I continue or drop this draggy shit?.....
