A messy story out of focus
The drama is a downer. I was impressed by Yang Zi in Ashes of Love and had watched several of her dramas since. But not this one. LYF has been promoted so much by Tencent compared with other drama productions done by the company (e.g., the highly acclaimed The Longest Promise that was premiered before LYF without any promotions nor any announcement about the date/time to premiere). Given all the resources from Tencent to invest in LYF that was adapted from a popular novel written by a famous writer, I had very high expectation over this drama. Not only are there intense promos done by the production team prior to and post the premiere, there are also a huge cohort of book fans to hype it up. But after watching 18 episodes, I felt like wasting precious hours off busy work schedule on a draggy and sleep-inducing boring drama. Not everyone had read the book before watching the drama. Therefore the plot should have had some highlighted focus to give ordinary viewers intriguing points to follow. There's not enough suspension in each ep to invite me to look forward to watching next ep. I gave it a shot but ended up fast forwarding each ep A LOT to skip those lackluster and confusing scenes. There're no stunning visuals in the drama as how the novel described the main male leads should be. I'm disconnected to their acting either. The only thing I can rave about is YZ's crying scenes that were convincing and touching. The plot so far is badly scripted, chaotic here and there, and leads you to a rabbit hole. I just don't get this multiple love lines between one heroine and the 3 or 4 ordinary-looking MLs. In particular, that white haired demon sucking blood out of the FL disgusts me a lot. It's so awkward and not convincing.If the storyline had been better scripted and directed with an interesting plot development at a faster pace, I might have been able to stick to the drama by overlooking other flaws mentioned above. But without reading the original novel, I was completely lost in the first few eps. I stuck to see perhaps interesting arcs emerging and also for YZ's sake until ep 18. Nope!
It's not worth continuing. I quit after that.

Game of Thrones
Overall it was a good series. I enjoyed watching. However, there were exaggerations in some places, and things that should not be in other places. We watched Yang Zi. as a male for the first 20 episodes. It was like a different episode. Afterwards, the series fell apart a bit. When it was learned that she was a woman and dressed in this outfit, she was surrounded by three men. Everyone took advantage of the girl as if they were getting honey from the flower. It didn't happen to me. Such a female figure does not suit her. Someone is sucking your blood. He takes it the way he wants. beating. It's dragging. Another is acting like a slave. Another does not remove hair from his nose. Then the immortals were supposed to be, but the girl died, the man she loved died. They were resurrected. It has become the fantastic of the fantastic. These were exaggerated. Now, if it is not right for a woman to act against someone who saves her and bring her back to life, the fact that the woman who treats her well is bad, but the fact that the person she calls her brother has an egotistical approach to kill her without knowing her, causes the woman to become attached to this man at the level of love. A huge discord. Opposition. I couldn't form a bond. People have little conscience. Availability of women is another matter. I didn't like these. I loved her devotion to Jing, and her inability to connect with her grandmother and the person who was touted as engaged was irritating the story, so to speak. The woman is cheating. Even though Jing knows that he is trying to kill the Prince, he does not go into those matters. She doesn't make a point of her brother trying to kill her. He remains a spectator to the woman's relationship with him. Which your brother's wife was going to say, but I think she was killed. We didn't see it. They said that he does not look like a child, but that intelligent and spiritual personality never awakens. Could such purity exist? What kind of a leader is he, as well as a very smart, intelligent, personality, wise person. In other words, these were not taken into account when processing the characters. The pen is gone, the screenwriter. And let's come to the main topic; The Kingdom of Xiyan has become a complete Games of Thrones. My clothes were stolen from them. Second, they became like members of their government. Clans. Approaches of men and women who are related to each other. Your grandfather's behavior and clothing in the same figure as those Kings. It's Chinese work, there's no glamor to it. Where are those silks? A dark palace has been created. Suitable for him are sons, grandchildren, princesses and so on. I thought I was watching Game of Thrones. It's very obvious. I think it will be the second season of the series. Cang became King. He was also surprised. I think the fights will continue. Just like in Game of Thrones. Of course, if I'm lucky, I'll watch that season too.Esta resenha foi útil para você?
Wuxia done badly
This drama draaaaaaags and has zero propulsion. Everything is foreshadowed. I mean what are the chances that all three male leads just happen to converge at that particular town at that particular moment? Come tf on. I tried so hard to stay with this but it's so fucking boring. Can I also say just how low budget the set design is especially given this is Wuxia and most of the set could have been computer generated? That palace was empty af. Sigh. I just didn't like any of the male leads and I wanted XY to fucking stop smiling in the face of abuse and unending degradation. How was this even a popular book?Esta resenha foi útil para você?
OVeRHYPED. SILLY PLOT
I am impressed with myself for managing to watch 20 episodes of this show, all thanks to TJC. Although the beginning was good, the story went downhill later on. I must say the actress did an outstanding job portraying her character, but the plot was disappointing.1. It made no sense to develop a romantic relationship between CX and XY when they were shown as bro-sis from the start. They had no chemistry.
2.TJ was a dead weak af character. I tried my best to like him, but I couldn't.
3.XL was a better match for her (but he too was a big red flag but all of us love a red flag), but knowing that he was not the endgame stopped me from continuing to watch the show.
Sorry to say but this goes in my list of worst cdramas.
*** This is my opinion you don't have to agree with me. ***

I am loving this.
I watched this primarily because of YZ, she's my favorite chinese actress. But love it the more i watch the episodes. Love the story (simple but with depth and heart). The cast is amazing even the young xiayao and xuan and the other actors in episode 1 are all great. Yang Zi has matured a lot in her acting, more depth and understanding of the emotions she's expressing. The male leads did not disappoint either. Love each of their characters. Love the set design, cinematography, the script. Kudos to all involved in the production. Can't wait for the next episodes.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Wasted potential
I quit this drama around episode 10. I pondered this decision for a long time, because in terms of cinematography, costumes and, most importantly, set design, the drama looks far above average. I abandoned this drama because of the plot, which literally and figuratively is torture.You know, I have nothing against violence, suffering, good torture scenes, but what's too much is unhealthy. Tormenting someone for the sake of tormenting someone is just boring and unpalatable. I think by the third episode I was already fed up with how the creators non-stop emphasize how miserable and tragic FL is. That's the only theme of this drama - she is unhappy, lonely, betrayed. Instead of a healthy relationship between the four main characters, we have BDS&M. Literally. I tried to like any of the 4 main characters, but I can't, because there are more negative traits in any of them than positive ones. In the first episodes I got curious about Little 17, in the next episode they show that he's an asshole. You know, showing the hero's journey from bad to good is cool, but not when all 4 main characters are bad from the beginning. I can accept that I haven't learned the motivations of each of the 3 men so far, but not that I still don't know the motivations of FL.
There are no dynamics here. Every scene is shot at exactly the same pace. It doesn't matter if they are fighting each other or talking at a table, if she is running away through the woods or he is erotically sucking the blood out of her - everything is devoid of dynamics, as if in slow motion, which is tedious and annoying. The pace should change, give the viewer some adrenaline, then a moment to calm down to attack again with something dynamic. Monotony kills interest.
In conclusion - technically the drama is nicely done. I very much appreciate the open air (but the green screen is bad). The plot could have been interesting if it wasn't so monotonous, depressing, beating around the head with the idea of "you're supposed to love FL because she's had a hard life and is so weak that she couldn't even save the cat" (save the cat is the motive). If the pace and characters of this story were varied, more dynamic instead of torturously pathetic, this drama would really be excellent. But it isn't. It is boring. On top of that, the music, which is average and of which there is simply too much, is terribly tiresome. I've watched 10 episodes and can't recall a single pleasant scene. I don't see any point in torturing myself further.

Story Disconnected Ep 1 to 2
I am lost watching this story. It starts out with nice costumes, beautiful effect and settings. Then the woman involved with 4 men. As a Chinese born in the Chinese Opera, I know of a good and bad story. Most Chinese movies and drama have been concerned with kung fu and fighting. But they don't focus on making story strong as Korean Drama.Chinese productions are very choppy and too much talking that dragging forever. What is the story? What happened t the little girl the gap between she left and grew up in a man clothes?

Definitely must watch over and over again
I'm hooked they really did a great job portraying each of their character very well! From the story, their visuals, bgm, cinematography effect and especially their acting! Can't contain my happiness how close the drama from the novel... It was the same as what I imagined while reading the novel last year and I did reread the novel for 5x already... The novel was beautifully written and the drama is perfectly done... The minor changes gave justice to the drama story flows... The FL is the best among the rest... She doesn't care about her own image or visuals to gave life of her character and no questions ask about her acting she really nailed it, it's getting better and better from one drama to another she did from the past. She's great!The male leads also did a wonderful great job... Love them all...

1abuse for the sake of abuse.
Although the acting and the production value of the drama is good, and Yang Zi has a really strong performance, it doesn't change the fact that this romance drama sensationalizes female abuse. We are shown in careful detail how a bunch of men who are trying to fight each other instead end up beat up the FL every time, since she's stuck in the middle trying to help everyone. And she forgives them over and over. What a dreamy scenario.Every two episodes contain scenes of torture or violence against the FL that really aren't necessary for the plot. Two out of the 4 ML basically cause her injuries almost every time they meet. One NPC man tortured her in a dungeon for years. What's more the drama shows that she forgives the abuse and depicts her abusers as romantic, especially for one of the ML.
It says a lot about the societal values of China that so many people are into both the book and drama version of this kind of story.

Epic Novel, Hope Drama is Equally Epic
I watched a few episodes for Tan Jianci. Was curious and ended up reading the translation of the novel by Koala's Playground - TWICE. OMG, am now obsessed with LYF and Xiang Liu. The writer Tong Hua is also doing the screenplay and so far the episodes have been pretty good. I prefer this to TTEOTM and LBFAD, both of which I dropped halfway.The drama isn't a straightforward romance. There are issues of identity, abandonment, ambition, envy, and plenty of imperial intrigue and maneuvering. Hope the drama lives up to the novel which is just fantastic.

Histoire incroyable
Lost you Forever est de loin, l'un des meilleurs dramas que j'ai vu, voir même LE meilleur.Le début est un peu lent, c'est là qu'on apprend à connaître les personnages principaux et que les bases se créées, mais à partir de l'épisode 8 ou 9, c'est là que tout devient de plus en plus intéressant. J'étais addicte à ce drama et ne pouvait plus m'arrêter de le regarder, restant éveiller jusqu'aux petites heures du matin juste pour finir un épisode!
L'histoire est très riche et complexe, mais pas trop non plus, elle est quand même facile à suivre. L'histoire se déroule sur plusieurs centaines d'années, dans un monde où les gens ont des pouvoirs spéciaux leurs permettant d'accomplir pleins de choses différentes. Certains dramas fantastiques de ce genre ont tendances à être très complexe à suivre, mais Lost you Forever a une direction artistique claire qui permet aux locuteurs de bien suivre le courant des choses. L'évolution des personnages est très intéressantes à suivre également. Xiaoyao/Xiaoliu est un personnage pour lequel on s'attache rapidement. Sa personnalité est attachante et son histoire est très riche et contient de nombreuses facettes dont je ne développerai pas, pour ne pas donner de spoilers. Même les autres personnages sont également tout aussi attachants. L'aspect "romance" de ce drama est également très intriguant est très bien abordé. La romance ne tombe pas dans des clichés "ringards" quelconque, c'est vraiment naturel. Je pense que l'aspect "naturel" de ce drama est ce qui le rend aussi bien. Tous les personnages ont simplement l'air VIVANTS et RÉELS. D'ailleurs, aucun aspect de l'histoire a l'air forcé. que ce soit des aspects positifs ou négatifs. Si un rebondissant survient, on ne va pas avoir la sensation que les scénaristes force trop l'histoire dans un sens, c'est une histoire très bien écrite.
Une chose qui m'a grandement marqué est le talent des acteurs dans ce drama. Je remarque rarement le talent des acteurs lorsque je regarde une série, mais cette fois-ci, c'était vraiment frappant! J'ai rarement vu des acteurs aussi talentueux, ils savent partager les émotions de leur personnages même au travers de l'écran et c'est si naturel. Pendant les scènes les plus émouvantes, je me retrouvais même à pleurer, étant très peu émotive comme personne, ce drama a réussi à m'émouvoir.
Je n'attends que la saison 2 maintenant où j'ai grandement hâte de voir où l'histoire peux bien aller!
