A Viagem da Flor (2015)

For my totally uneventful weekend, I planned to spice things up with what I thought would be a breathtaking fantasy romance. I also love both leads from other dramas so I knew that they can act.

Here I am at 1am at the end of my weekend, and after a marathon of watching I have to say I was insanely disappointed.

Story:

The story is so insanely dramatic, if you are the hopeless romantic type (lets face it most of us are on MDL) you might forgive lapses here and there in certain dramas *cough*Boys over flowers*cough*, but here its too constant, that you feel your intelligence is insulted. Everyone is in love with the main lead and she is 2D throughout the drama and not at all relatable. Then the love triangle eventually morphs into a love octagon, which is too convoluted. If that wasn't bad enough, the love that they express and the decisions they make with that love in mind should have them in straightjackets! I think the whole cast could probably benefit from a reeducation on love, especially script writers.

Acting:

I like the main leads acting, I just wish the script hadn't let them down. I couldn't help but get annoyed at the fact that Bai Zi Hua didn't really get any character development until the last 5 episodes of the show. Also Hua Qian Gu was nicely portrayed but the character wasn't created with much depth. The rest of the cast were highly irritating from the forced constant laughs, repeated draggy scenes, unrealistic love portrayals and lack of emotional depth.

Music:

Music was probably my favourite it flowed well with the show.

Rewatch value:

Rewatch? I would rather tap dance on my kidneys!

This drama series was not all that hard for me to rate. Did I like it? Sure, I did but it took a while for me to actually get into it.

STORY:

Why I liked it:
1.) The Journey of Flower has an interesting story.

2.) Sha Jie Jie was the best character in the whole drama. (That's about it!~)

3.) Everyone played their role good.

Why I didn't like it:
1.) Hua Qian Gu's purity and innocence was annoying. She had no backbone whatsoever and was too forgiving. Also a big downfall about her was that she was too wimpy. I've seen other girls in different dramas who did the whole "pure & innocent" role way better. At least they weren't wimpy in their role. This is not to say, that I didn't like her at all, I did but those moments were few and far in between.

2.) I thought Bai Zi Hua was a d*ck for almost the whole series. He only redeemed himself in my eyes in the last 5 or so episodes.

MUSIC:

7.5 / 10 Nothing bad to say about it.

REWATCH VALUE:

Would I re-watch it if given the chance/ or should an opportunity arise? No. That is a big NO for me. 50 episodes with an ok and super wimpy female lead makes me cringe. I would cry so hard if I had to see it again. Watching it one time through was enough for me.

OVERALL THOUGHTS:

The story was ok. Tha acting was alright. The music was good. CGI was bad at times and both leads could be aggravating at times but you should definitely give this drama a watch. If you are like me, then you should be able to tell with the first few episodes if you will continue with the drama or not. I know that this drama will not be for everyone.

The male lead was just not worthy...

I dropped this because I could not handle the toxic relationship between the FL and ML--or the fact that everyone kept blaming a teenage girl for having a crush on a grown man SHE WAS SENT TO LIVE WITH ALONE! And then when he willingly banished her into a place where (it was implied) she was sexually assaulted by a group of bandits and then he had the gall to say it was best for her to be there--I was done. Especially since the SML was a thousand times better person than the ML (even if he was supposedly evil). It was just too ridiculous and I couldn't take it any more.

in the drama the end is happy ending, but not detail as in novel.. so many viewer still hope for the season 2 for this drama.. but I love this drama because Zhao Liying perfectly play the role as Hua Qian Gu, so I I really enjoy to watch this drama.. in china when this drama is airing this drama become the Highest Rating even winning from The empress of China (the drama with High budget and Play by most famous actress Fan bing bing) but the Journey of flower is winner than this empress of china, because all the character in the journey of flower is really perfectly cast, specially my Xiao Gu.. I love the actress a lot she play so well as Xiao gu

Those who love wuxia/romance drama should watch this! This was my first Chinese drama as it was popular in China and Taiwan, so I decided to give it a try. I ended up watching all of the episodes in 3 days. The opening and ending of this drama are perfect including the lyrics! They are a few times/scenes that made me emotional/cried. It's really worth watching as I haven't watch as much episodes as other drama before! The acting in this drama are superb even though the CG effect are not good enough! Became a fan of Zanilia Zhao and Wallace Huo after watching this!

P.S: Please correct me if I have made a grammatical error, thanks!
