Immortal Samsara: Parte 1 (2022)

forcing to be happy ending with logic with 2 special episode

CONTAIN SPOILER ONLY FOR WHO ALREADY WATCH

forcing to be happy ending with logic with 2 special episode

the drama scene looks like combining eternal love, ash of love, love and redemption scene, but has a slightly different story,, jump and blind like eternal love, tragic love and punishment like ash of love, forbiden love like love and redemption

The first 18 episodes were very boring for me, I liked when they went to the mortal realm(around eps 18)
actually the story is good too bad, the acting is actually quite good,but the editing make me speechless

The storyline is very weird messy, it makes me keep thinking, why is it like this, so I can't focus on watching, what's the point of watching drama if you don't understand the story? and give high rating just because a little romance?

i really cant give high rating just because a little romance, nothing special romance just
can only be accepted if you are a beginner watcher ,i already watch alot of drama like this and more focus with the details
the story of lead CP is one of them accepts one of them refuses continuously kike that until the end of the story.
I enjoy the friendship of yumo, yandan and yinyuan,
yumo at the beginning looks very nerd, but I like the character, love but not force, envy but not hate

and for the another support CP, i like them too,,but their acting and story still looks very newbie, it's good enough


I am very impressed with the directors and editors, they destroy people's work, the edits are very obvious reversed in the scene,, inconsistent in the use of words in each dialogue, loopholes everywhere,,I AM VERY SURE THE EDITOR IS VERY SLEEPY WHEN EDITING OR NOT INTENTION

the story is boring at the beginning, a lot of new things keep popping up plus the editing are very messy, it seems that all things happen suddenly for no clear reason,, even they explain it later about heaven demon war, but the story sequence is very messy, and not only that,, Inconsistent dialogue or mispronunciation but the director was not aware when shooting, and inconsistent scenes ,, are they not briefing before shooting ?
I want to pretend I didn't see it but to much,
I don't know how many times I sighed and wanted to drop this drama, BECAUSE THE LOOPHOLE IS SO OBVIOUS!



🖊(1) MESSY CHAIN STORY,, WRONG SCENE,,BAD EDITING,SHUDENLY SCENE
1. Sixuan, her betrayal story is only short story,but in my opinion the sequence of scenes is very chaotic, its better if she appeared first and then gave the scene she betrayed, but its not! and it seems that Yinyuan has a relationship with Sixuan but it's not clear what.

2. ‎the effect of skill not match with the action they do, and sometimes dont understand what they do for

3. ‎the demin and heaven war part, really really mess, the story sequence should not be like that, although it will be explained later, it's still unacceptable,, war begin shuddenly, end shuddenly

4. ‎ep 26, tang zhou's master left two objects, the hairpin and magic weapon, that magic weapon is one of the 7 magic tools to be burned when yandan pretends zhixi to catch the traitor which should have been burned

5. ‎i know yumo know about ziling identity,but i shocked when yandan know about it too, when? they both not look well from the first.
when ep 21,, 5:21 , i think yandan already know the real body of ziling,,,but why 23:11 she look like she didnt know about that and joking him just a little turtle

7. ‎ep 22, heaven emperor said to make yinyuan easier to investigate the case, he will have all his memories, but when reincarnated to mortal, luming said yinyuan celestial power and memory will be seal by celestial armor, but in ep 47, they said again that the memory that should be kept is manipulated by someone

8. ‎ep 33,,when attacked by shengde,, yandan said "quick, i can't hold it anymore" but they havent told tang zhou to eat the pills zhao yan gave first,, i think the scene was reversed, i was confused why suddenly told to be hurry, what action to do ?apparently told him to eat the pill

9. ep 56,, what?!I'm sure this is wrong,, isnt the 3 神器 (celestial artifacts) already stolen by the mastermind? the editing show yinyuan healing with 3 stolen artifacts and its go in to his body again,but the remaining artifact (dizhi) they have not in there,,
proved by ep 57,, 10:39 the stolen 3 celestial artifacts come out from MASTERMIND body, and yandan get it back the 3 artifacts



🖍(2) PRETENDING STUPID AND USELESS ACTION
1. yandan go to ask luming to help her find a book that can help her practice to protect herself from yinyuan, luming said all the book in yanxu palace, and her dont want to borrow with yinyuan but all the book is her punishment and she can access all the book

2. ‎ep 6, Yandan was punished for writing heaven's rules with a very heavy pen, she lifted up very hard, she but could laying sleep by biting the pen, isnt it pinched?

3. ‎ep 11, yinyuan craving a lotus burning pot to yandan, but yandan She didn't realize he knew who she was

4. ‎ep 12, yumo can check Yandan's lotus heart only half, but yinyuan can't?, even though he has no doubt that it wasn't zhixi who helped him, and he believes she was yandan, but he didn't prove it by checking directly ,even he has that ability to check

5. ‎ep 16, 14:30 ,when zhixi see yandan stuff, the blue bottle she gave her,, how can the note at the bottle? ,ep 13 11:09 the brokenheart yandan already keep the bottle with the others one in the locker, do you think her mood at that time still in the mood to write that note?

6. ‎ziling afraid the others 妖 know about his real body,but he is in human world for long time ago and he show his skill in the other when fighing so why they dont know?

7. ‎Yumo who thinks Tangzhou is the reincarnation of General Huode is very forceful, even though he has seen Huode, and even though there are only 2 people left who have participated in 2 wars, War of Genesis and God Demon War ,how can?! I'm speechless

8. ‎ep 18,,,what makes me wonder is, if after cutting the horn can perish, why did he do it? if he perishes he unable to find yandan, what's the point? does he know zhaolan will give him elixir?

9. ‎ep 40,, does yandan not eat antidote from tangzhou?, if they eat why do they still think the frog is from the lake? and if she have eaten why not heal? so that thing cant be called antidote

10. ‎ are all who reincarnated from "yewangchuan" not born from zero? yandan just lose her memories, does it make sense? many souls are reincarnated through yewangchuan, if all of them go down to mortal realm in adult form wouldn't it be very strange?even though yandan was forcibly passed down but the main reason she cant reincarnation is because she can't forget her memories,she should be born from zero.
ok, lets talk about the other route, from the heaven portal, yingdeng and yinyuan seem like reincarnation from the zero, from child,, but yinyuan betrayer servant go down in adult form?! ARE YOU SERIOUS?

12. THE LAST AND IMPORTANT ONE,, IF 2 SPECIAL EPISODE IS THE ENDING, TO FORCING, WHY? PRIMODIAL LORD,RANQING ,SACRIFICE HER PRIMODIAL SPIRIT TO MAKE A SHIELD BETWEEN DEMON AND HEAVEN REALM ,, IF YINYUAN CAN BE REVIVE SO RANQING CAN BE REVIVE TO EVEN IF THEY SAID STILL HAS A LITTLE SOUL SPIRIT LEFT LIKE THE HEAVEN EMPEROR ,,, IF YANDAN CAN BE REVIVE TOO ,SO ZHIXI NO NEED TO GIVE YANDAN HER HALF OF HEART.



🖌(3) WRONG WORD
1. ep1 yingdeng said her real body is dizun (emperor) (帝尊) lamp wick, ep 4 he said that he used to be a subordinate of dijun, and also the lamp wick on his desk,and this is the true,,, ,wrong word

2. ‎ep 5,, female servant said her age is young but she can write the stoey "war of genesis(创世之战）"then yinyuandijun reply"是她写的创世之战"（she is who write the story war of genesis?）， but he asked to see the script,,if he said like that i think he is know about that story script first and ask someone to find the writer,if from beginning he dont know about the story he should said "她写的是创世之战？"(she wrote about war of genesis?)

3. ‎yandan when find out yumo is the black fish, she said apparently you're the fish i raised for 800 years,, what? didn't yandan just become human form for 500 years? and worked for beiming for 200 years?since the beginning the black fish lived in the pond of beiming place for long time ago when the war of genesis

4. ep8 ‎funeral of the dijuns, said wrong name ,ep 7 when war the emperor said wanyue,, but when funeral the announcer said wanyun ,the right one is wanyun

5. ‎ep 16,, 26:56 when yumo cut his horn,, zhaolan read the book, she said "剜角之人灵力盡散而亡" but the book clearly write ""剜角之人'多有'灵力盡散而亡" obviously just memorize the script, she can just read the book

6. ‎ep35,,37:41,, yandan said this place is the place to find memories that the old woman(老夫人）said? the right one is 老人(the GUY who save liuweiyang),,, im wondering which old woman told to them about memories 😲😲😲




QUESTION
1. is there no different time of between mortal realm and the heaven realm? ep 18 the narrator said ‎"花界一日凡间数年，3界重分之后，人妖共存一界" ,if they in one realm why can flower clan 1 day human view years? they are in same realm! ,,so if the flower spirit and human in one frame so how many days go? 1 days or few years? ,but when yinyuan go back to heaven it seems no there is no time difference between heaven and human realm,
and ep 46 zhixi said 20years ago heavenly annouced yinyuan death
which is true？


note : the last 2 special episode maybe just for comfort? i dont know how is the novel but if this 2 sp eps is the ending it not make a sense


If I wrote something wrong, please comment, but politely

First of all, let me say that it was a series that I loved watching. There were times when the level dropped. There were a lot of repetitions. Sometimes there were places where I said that was enough. Especially the bad woman ying yeng, the curator. I have never seen such a curator. Probably because he was in the heavens, he took root in the whole heavenly realm. It was very strange that someone in charge of the exhibits, which we will call the warehouseman, let someone who has a godly power leave what he did not do. Come on, you've finally sent this woman into exile. Mashallah, while the good ones were creeping up, this bad woman again took root in the nation. She kills whoever gets in her way. She is ruining. Others are watching. We passed that too. This woman is dead. She turned into an ice sculpture. He resurrected again and did evil. Oh, now I waited until the end of the series because this curator would come out from somewhere. I didn't particularly like these parts. I did not find it suitable for the series. I had a hard time understanding why. Then we should have said that even if you made a strong God, it was a strong personality you were dealing with. It didn't happen. Congratulations to the lone player. He portrayed evil so beautifully. I hope he doesn't get stuck on these roles. Other than that, I took it a little more normal. After all, it's a fantastic series. I especially liked the actors. It's a team of very good players. It was like a celebrity parade. When I saw the very good, very beautiful and handsome actors together, I wished it wouldn't end. I especially liked the young actors, especially Yang Zi, Chengi Yi, Ray Chang. I laughed a lot at Marshal Huo. Congratulations to Li Yu. Let's not miss our director together with the actors. I can say that the management was close to perfect. The view is magnificent as always. The ending did not satisfy me a bit, but it was as if they died and were reborn, but found each other again and were happy. Or something similar. It was as if it was left to the imagination of the audience. But I still get the result. It is satisfactory from my point of view. I expect such beautiful series from our directors and producers and new works with such a group of actors.

One of the best, heart wrenching drama of all time

I’m giving the drama a solid 9.
The story and plot is a mash up of multiple xanxia-verse so there isn’t much of an element of surprise on the plot but Cheng Yi oh boy Cheng Yi is a gem - His acting carried the show. The pain, anguish, regret and suffering portrayed looked sooooo real that I feel like Ying Yuan myself. He’s such an incredible actor that successfully made pain even more PAINFUL than it already is. I must commend that Yang Zi, despite her bubbly and girl next door image also did a fantastic job alongside Cheng Yi. The scene with her damaged and bleeding foot at the river destroyed me. Whyyyyyy??
The drama wouldn’t be as impactful without the stellar performance of our ML/FL. I think they’ve given all the characters justice.

What I love -
Brilliant first class acting by both leads!! We can hardly get performance like this anymore as they’re too many newbies in C-Ent and good looking actors/actresses without the real acting chops getting casted
The development from Ying Yuan and Yan Dan 1.0 vs 2.0 version of them - both have grown, mature and learn to love more u conditionally, so beautifully
The parallels between Ying Yuan & Tang Zhou/ young Yan Dan & demon Yan Dan - love how the tables were turned as they learnt the importance of living for yourself (for YY) and duty and responsibility (for YD)
The precious friendship between Yumo and the 2 Leads are beautiful to watch.
How Zhi Xi redeemed herself in the end - I love the twist to it
If you forget you have watched Eternal Love, Love and Redemption, the storyline is acceptable
Sexy Xuan Ye daddy is soooo sexy

The bad:
Some of the supporting cast - not exactly their fault but there’s so much repetition with some actors so it doesn’t feel as impactful. This is like watching Love and Redemption 2.0 in a way.
The editing could be better. Felt that the last few episodes were too rushed and could be laid out better for viewers
Too much focus on anguish and pain to a point it doesn’t make too sense - Yan Dan is willing to die for Ying Yuan, gave him her heart (literally and figuratively), suffered for 800 years but she’s not willing to be with Ying Yuan 2.0 just because he once chose duty over her. Err?? Like you’re already so in love with this person that you’d give him your life, why allow your ego to be in the way for smt so petty?
The 2nd ML - Yumo’s character is interesting and could have so much more potential if it was better casted. His acting is stiff and awkward which made whatever he does for Yan Dan very forgettable by the audiences.

This story is nothing new!

I watched this xianxia drama cause it had like a decent ish..rating..but my what a draaaaag&a waste of time.... this show didn't need more than 30 episodes. The ending was crap and it felt too rushed.

I loved the main leads. Their acting was great the story line however been there done that. I feel like this story has been done before over and over it is getting a little too boring now. I even skipped some episodes cause the show was getting too boring.

Costumes: I loved YuMo and Ying Yuan's clothes. The rest didn't really appeal to me even though i like sparkles and pearls.

I wish there was more depth in the series. 还有the time limit: if the crew producers were given a certain time to finish the show. Why did they have to disrespect 😤us the viewers by giving us such crap at the ending. I mean what the hell was that. We got no explanation qnout how the two lead characters ended up despite them vanishing..but they just showed up in the second last episodes. The same vigour they had in starting the series they shouldve done that with the end.

Characters: as usual there was nothing new or groundbreaking in immortal samsara. It is just repeated tropes. There were bad characters&good characters..the only difference was that YuMo was not as obsessed with YD unlike the demon king who loved a woman who was obsessed with someone else. Also lots of spitting blood, some hectic sacrifices and misunderstandings for like 900 years. The tv characters in chinese series need a therapist to help them communicate effectively. Cause misunderstandings seem rife in these series.

The music: 我喜欢about two or three songs 🎵 the rest was meeh!. I also didn't like how they placed the songs in certain scenes. It just wasn't matching. This series just used songs to cover up for the parts they were too lazy to do something about in order to manipulate emotions. As i said before, there were series like Eternal Love (Yang Mi&Mark Chao) which did better with the series ost.

Rewatch value: Naah! maybe certain scenes like Zhaolan's enthronment and Ying Yuan's heavenly return, the rest.. i felt it was a waste of my time as I was waiting for the series to get better. Also i only watched it cause i fing Cheng Yi attractive...other than that..naah.

DON'T SKIP THIS!I REPEAT, DON'T SKIP THIS!!

Immortal Samsara is the first fantasy historical cdrama I would watch (personally I've not really gotten into historical dramas not to talk of the fantasy ones). I decided to watch this only because of Yang Zi (never got to know the actor until I started this) knowing fully well that she has great acting skills and can create a good chemistry with her male leads.
Episode 1 got me totally drawn to this dramadrama
I am not surviving this drama because I just want to support Yang Zi. I am totally addicted to this and I'm literally loving the male lead(his voice as tang Zhou omg😍😍😍😍)
Every character's acting in this drama nailed it and I'm definitely not dropping this and this has made me know that fantasy dramas could be interesting not just the modern ones
I highly recommend this
This just have a low rating generally because of the unreasonable haters
This is a good drama to watch

"The agarwood didn't extinct, instead, its fragrance floats to four seas"

Immortal Samsara is another classic xianxia drama that contains themes we've seen in previous xianxia dramas. Despite the repeated themes, I still enjoyed this drama as it's such a beautiful love story. There's great character growth with the main characters: from the funny bickering scenes at the beginning to the heart-warming scenes of them falling in love to the heart-wrenching separation and finally their reunion. Both main leads were great with their performances. They sure know how to deliver on those emotional/angst scenes. Their relationship has a lot of angst (very typical of xianxia dramas), but it was never one-sided.They both equally suffered in their love by each other's rejections but they never stopped loving each other even though they're unwilling to admit it. They were separated for early 900 years yet that love never died. I love the idea of the butterflies always flying around our main leads. Their journey together has taught them to learn how to love better and trust each other.

A MUST WATCH XIAN XIA DRAMA!!! If you want to feel the pain/ heart-wrenching.

Lets talk about Yang Zi as Yan Dan/ Bai PiaoLiang (you will laugh when you heard this name)
Yang Zi has portrayed this character really good, maybe this character is similar to Jin Mi (Ashes of Love) Jin Mi and Yan Dan almost has the same personality, carefree, helpful and generous to everyone. I will make a comparison between these two.

Yan Dan is really smart, especially with Weiqi game (Chinese Chess) even Ying Yuan (our male lead, Cheng Yi) praised her that she's one of a kind. Even though she doesn't care much about Cultivation like her twin sister (Zhi Xi) but she is a fast learner, she values love and friendship. Unlike Jin Mi, since birth she doesn't what is Love because she had the 'Unfeeling Pill' thats why she doesnt know what is Love.

For Cheng Yi as Emperor Ying Yuan /Tang Zhou/ Xuan Ye. This is my first drama watching his portrayed. I would say his emotions, his character, everything fits this actor so well. I have no ideas how many times I cried watching this Chinese drama. I watched Good Bye My Princess, I was sad for days. But for this one, throughout the drama since the beginning to the end, i cried a RIVER!!! maybe after this drama, i have to watch Love and Redemption, Cheng Yi as Yu Sifeng. I have to be prepare again T_T

Guys, if you hesitate to watch. I would say please give it a try for the first 10 episodes. Because you will love their chemistry and plus you guys HAVE TO GO THROUGH WHAT I WENT THROUGH!!! ALL THOSE EMOTIONS, SLEEPLESS NIGHTS, THE LAUGHS EVERYTHING. yeah im joking but i love love this drama so much. I come back and forth watching my favourite scenes.

Yang Zi and Cheng Yi are good together

I stayed up until 5 AM two nights in a row because I was binging this show and finished it within ~3 days. This is the 6th xianxia I have watched in entirety, for your reference (not a whole lot compared to some seasoned viewers but maybe more than a new drama watcher). Having seen other xianxias, it's natural in my mind to compare this to my previous xianxia viewing experiences.

The main couple Yan Dan (Yang Zi) and Ying Yuan (Cheng Yi) is superior to their popular xianxia couplings in the past - Jinmi and Xufeng from Ashes of Love and Sifeng and Xuanji from Love and Redemption. They have great natural chemistry and we get to see the couple spend a lot of time together. I literally felt myself grinning during some of their fluffy scenes. As for the angsty couple scenes, they did them well. I think they may have become my favorite xianxia pairing.

I have an affinity for Cheng Yi after watching Love and Redemption and I really enjoyed watching him here. It is much less painful to see him as Ying Yuan and Tang Zhou compared to watching Sifeng. He got a promotion basically. I think he's hilarious. So even if a scene wasn't necessarily supposed to be funny (like when he's creeping and looking at the FL from a distance), he gives me life.

Yang Zi is a great actress. Of course like a few other xianxia, there are moments when you wonder why the FL is thinking something dumb, but overall Yan Dan is a strong character and much more likable than Jinmi.

The show isn't without its flaws but I know I stayed up to watch because it did some of the drama really well (wow, peak tragedy!) and I was eager to see what would happen. Somewhere in the middle I see where it may seem like it drags and is almost filler-like, but at the same time I appreciate how much time we are given to enjoy this universe. So to me, 59 episodes isn't too long.

Is Immortal Samsara better than Ashes of Love and Love and Redemption? I mean, in some ways, yes and in some ways, no. Yes on the main couple front for sure. I think Immortal Samsara is worth watching if you like xianxia.

A drama worth to watch from mature perspective

1. After I've finished the series, I really love how Yingyuan doing his responsibilities. I love how realistic some things can be. Love is not everything, even though Yingyuan seems burdened but he still doing his job well as Sovereign Lord while keeping his love. I love how the director make his character a responsible person and not forget his duties even while he fell in love. He really doing his job well.
2. I personally think we should understand the story as a whole because there are some details that are connected either from past or future like the War of Genesis and Celestial-Demon War. It can be confusing at first but it's worth it after we understand.
3. The value of 'Things can't be the same after what happen'. Well it's pretty realistic even in real world. No matter how we try to go back to past times, it's won't be the same.
4. There are some parts that I'm annoyed/can't get over but it's just a small black spot out of this masterpiece. Realistically, every drama has pro and cons itself. This whole drama becomes better as the episodes continue.
Honestly I hope people can watch this with open mind and try to understand from each character perspective.

Worth all 59 episodes!

Like some others, I nearly dropped the drama after watching the first few episodes and I wasn't clicking into this xianxia world. The various character titles and their roles was very new to me. Still, I kept on because I love Yang Zi and she did an amazing job in Ashes of Love, then Cheng Yi in Love and Redemption. It wasn't until I made it to about episode 8 that I was finally hooked and stayed for the entire drama. The beginning was really a slow burn and in hindsight, it wasn't necessary to take 8 episodes to provide the build up to the 'big event' in episode 8. Then I finally saw the love for this drama. I honestly prefer Cheng Yi here with Yang Zi. They both convey soundless pain in the best way possible. You find yourself aching for their character, ache for their destinies and irreversible choices. I also enjoy seeing some of the actors/actresses from Love and Redemption here and a toss in of someone from Ashes of Love. It wasn't too draggy in the remainder of the series. It could have been maybe just 50 episodes if they shorten the beginning and reduce some scenes in between that wasn't necessary.

Cheng Yi portrays a certain character here (not his main role) with a distinct taste. And if the viewers get their wish, we may be able to see Cheng Yi in a future role of a similar aura. Definitely worth it.

This review is for Season 1, 2, and 2 short extra episodes!

Season1 @ 2: This is a wonderful drama in matters of production, cinematography, beautiful costumes, faithful to Xianxia’s theme of heaven, mortal, and back to heaven realm plot and setting, fantastic CGI’s and action sequences, and great acting from most of the cast. The OST’s are good but the drama could’ve had some scenes in which using just sounds and rhythm would’ve been a better choice since there is a lot of metaphorical dialogue on this drama. ChengYi (as Ying Yuan) and Yang Zi (as Yan Dan) did a great job portraying their character. They truly delivered their emotions well and they have good chemistry throughout their interactions. The reason the drama is not a rating of 10 is because of how Yan Dan’s character was written. Although Ying Yuan made mistakes in the first part of the drama (Heavenly Realm) that gave Yan Dan a painful and heartbreaking experience, he was equally disconsolate and miserable as he was also harsh toward himself. As much as Yan Dan loved him to the point of sacrificing herself, she wasted precious time with him. She forgave others with ease and warmth, but her demeanor and harshness toward Ying Yuan made her character insufferable and nonsensical, almost to the end. Still, taking in consideration that these characters and plot are intrinsic to Xanxias, theses drama is excellent and very entertaining. Enjoy it! (PS: The 2 short extra episodes provide closure to many characters and bring a happy ending to the drama)
