O Jogo do Amor em uma Fantasia Oriental (2024)

My first CDrama that I got obsessed with

This is the first review I’m doing as I would like to give my thoughts on this one. I’m someone who tries the first 2-3 episodes of a drama and decide if I shall continue. This drama gets its story done on the first few minutes of the first episode and got me hooked. The part that made me decide to want to finish this is the entrance of our beloved ML which has this boss anime music theme (that song rocked).

Upon his arrival and the snickering antics he shows, I guess the ML is the sole reason why I was able to finish and got intrigued with the story.

For the actors, this is my second Esther Yu drama as I’ve seen her LBFAD and liked that one (but not a huge fan). I don’t hate her cute voice as I have respect for her craft especially that she’s an idol/singer and actress. I like how she does her own dub and being a cute and bubbly character suits her so well as this is her own irl persona. I’m just happy she was able to distinguish her role here as Ling MiaoMiao and her Orchid character in LBFAD.

Now for our ML, this is the first drama I’ve seen of Ding Yuxi and made me a fan of his. I actually saw him on Reels and thought he looks handsome with his eyeglasses, but boy I did not know HE CAN ACT SO WELL. His eyebrows, eyes and lips are all acting with his micro-expressions that few actors can pull.

Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi’s chemistry is on fire with this one that it works like magic. Would definitely like to see them in modern adult/mature like collab for their 3rd one if this can happen. Also, they sung some of the songs in the dramas OST. Talk about having that more emotion when that song plays on a scene.

For the story, as someone who is not a fan of dragging plot, I could say episodes 1-20 are so bingeable that you can finish them in one sit and the rest of the episodes are a drag and made me want to sleep sometimes. How I wish we can see more romantic scenes of them after that 99% affinity. I felt robbed after episode 20 as this shifts to the background story, saving the world and the support characters.

I hope they release special episodes where we can see more of their romance as everyone wants more. People even watch their first tandem, Moonlight because of this.

Nevertheless this was a great pleasure and fun to watch albeit the 2nd half’s drag as this was truly an enjoyable story that I’ll remember for a long time.

review wars

I often wondered why in one website’s ratings of a drama is high and another is low? The same show……………I think it’s related to the age groups of the audiences that is watching…….

This drama, in my opinion is not very good……Esther Yu acting is ????????????? She think she is a barbie doll and portrayed as such….she tried acting cute but came out doltish. Ding Yu Xi became a better actor now, He have one of the most attractive and expressive lips in the show industry………..but he has the ugliest fingers…..stop bitting your nails Yu Xi, does not do anything for your image!!!!!!!!

The drama itself is also lacking….. too much graphics and not enough stories…..it is not one that you can’t wait to see the next episode……

If this kind of drama is your cup of tea, go for it....in the mean time, I rather watch something else but will come back if nothing else is attracting my attentions.

Fun and exciting drama! I am absolutely adoring it to bits!

I have been eagerly waiting for this drama for a long time. I have enjoyed every single episode.

The acting of all the cast is impeccable and top tier. The story is so much fun, suspenseful and adventurous. The chemistry of all the  cast members is excellent.

The male lead and the female lead is doing really good job portraying their character. Their love relationship is so beautiful and heart warming. I like the positive character development of the main characters.  They have learnt to wholeheartedly trust and rely on each other and be truthful and open their hearts to each other. I have enjoyed how some characters' past stories have unfolded very cleverly. The whole plot is very intriguing.

The costumes, sound/visual effects, cenimatrography, environmental sets are very good.

THIS SHOW ATE

At first I found Esther's voice annoying because it sounded like a child for me but here I am, 20 episodes late, Loving her character, her voice and acting. Completely obsessed with the show and I loved how it was an enemies to lovers trope and Mu Sheng is and absolute softie for her and I can't help but start blushing and giggling like a fool every time they come on screen. The design and editing is great too and the outfits are just so pretty, I love how the hanfu's are really flowy and light and the hair accessories aren't too extreme like in some dramas. Obsessed about everything about the show and I love the side couple too! 10/10 recommend!!

Mission: Steal My Heart - 100% Complete!

To start this love letter of mine, I would like to say that I came in completely oblivious to the plot and drama genre. I had seen tiny glimpses of Xuanhuan dramas before and thought that they would never be my cup of tea. It's safe to say that I couldn't have been more wrong, and I'm so happy that I gave this show a chance.

It's very rare to find a drama with such a captivating storyline and rich world full of unique, lovely characters. The acting and overall production quality made this an immersive experience that kept me in its warm embrace until the end. Every plot twist and moment of character development was built in such a meaningful way. In a nutshell, I felt connected, and that's no easy feat.

As I'm at a loss for words, I'll just let my tears speak for themselves. Almost feels like I'm saying goodbye to a dear friend now that the drama is over. We had such an adventure together. It was full of laughter, love, hope and sorrow. We lost loved ones and learned to face hard truths. Most of all, it was a journey of growth. It changed me, and that's how I know it was one heck of a ride.

Finally, I cannot thank my fellow reviewers enough for convincing me to dive into this drama. As most of you promised, it truly stole my heart. Mission 100% complete 📕

"This book is for a girl. She saved my world twice."

I have never been a massive fan of Esther Yu's dramas because of her high-pitched voice, so after hearing about this drama's release, I was planning not to watch it at first but still decided to give it a chance as the plot looked promising. After watching the first ten-ish episodes, I was completely hooked on the storyline and acting, and cinematography. I also started to get used to Esther's voice which made me start to like her and lowkey kinda made me regret not giving her other dramas a chance. After watching the first few episodes I was completely convinced the entire drama would be amazing 10/10, but after 20 episode it started to get kind of messy and I couldn't keep up, and I wish they did a little more for the ending. Despite the flaws though, I still overall loved this drama, it's just the last few episodes that kinda fell off. Overall 9/10
P.S. the ost in this drama makes me feel like i'm ascending

Good drama

The story is good, and the OST is great too.
The only thing I hate is the ending. They didn't even hug each other, and Liu Fu Yi and Mu Yao didn't even come out at the end. I also wish Yu Shu Xin would try making more serious dramas. I know she's cute, but it's too much for her. I wish for Yu Shu Xin dramas more like thrillers, like "My Journey To You." That's all, and it's also highly recommendable to watch.

It's also recommendable to watch "Moonlight" after watching "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy" because Ding Yu Xi is also an author there, and it's like a continuation of "Love Game in Eastern Fantasy."

The Love Game in Eastern fantasy is truly one of the most fantastic dramas of 2024! It's chaotic, energetic, and surprisingly emotional at times, creating a rollercoaster experience for viewers. The graphics and visuals are stunning, really adding to the magical vibe of the show.

The chemistry between the leads is absolutely adorable, and their interactions keep you hooked throughout the story. However, the ending might leave you with mixed feelings—it’s an open ending. If you’re optimistic, you might find it hopeful; but if you think of it differently, it might feel a little bittersweet.

Regardless, this is undoubtedly a must-watch drama of 2024. The storyline, visuals, and performances make it worth every moment. Definitely give it a try!

Fabulous show all the way

Love game in eastern fantasy,is an entertaining, engaging,exciting drama from the beginning to the end.It strikes a right balance between love,hate,friendship and siblings bond.
Firstly,Ling Miaomiao,the female lead,is taken to ancient times to play the role of Lin Yu,a character from the novel she is currently reading, written by her favourite author,Fu Zhou.There she meets,Mu Yao,Mu Sheng,Liu Fuyi and Cui Cui.The rest of the story deals with how these team of five eliminated evil and restored peace in the world.
The friendship between these five is remarkable and deserves to be the main asset of this drama.They stand by one another,do not give up in any circumstances and are willing to go to great lengths for the rest of the four.Thir bond stands out as the main highlight of this drama.
The plot is well written and executed with a load of twists and turns that unfold at right times and keep us glued to our seats from the start to the end.The plot is very good and strong too with an excellent pace and screenplay.
Esther Yu,is excellent in her role of Miaomiao,She is vibrant,lively,active,caring,loving, amiable,and responsible too.I really loved her character and also her portrayal.She is another main asset of this drama.Be it her cute or confused state,or romantic expressions,she nailed them with perfection.For me,she is the best character in this drama.
Ding Yuxi,Zhu Xudan,Yang Shize and all the other star cast were perfect in their roles and excelled in bringing life to the roles they played
A special mention of Lu Yu Hao,who played Cui Cui .He was cute,helpful and friendly.His affection towards his friends is remarkable.
The costumes were excellent.They matched each and every situation perfectly.
The settings were too good and were very bright.The visual effects were also perfect.
Finally,it is really one of the best dramas I have watched.It is a very very interesting and engaging drama with good comedy also to lift up your moods.A highly recommended drama with a different concept.
A MUST WATCH !!
