"Love Between Fairy and Devil" works best when its primary focus is on the love story between the two leads. This is why the first 1 - 9 episodes feel like 5 minutes long. We get to see a two people who should be enemies - and are seemingly ill-fated - fall into a pace and companionship that will lead to authentic love. The story suffers when it spends too much time on its antagonists and when it introduces random subplots that are never followed through properly. But this is mostly a problem during the last third of the show although its impact is glaring because the ending felt rushed and unsatisfactory. I enjoyed the journey between Orchid and Daqiang, but I wanted the resolution to be much more concrete. Instead, it left more questions than answers.

Great chemistry between Dylan Wang and Esther Yu though.
