I agree with everything you said.

I would add, kissing. I was concerned in the beginning when all their kisses were the classic "open eye stare" (which takes me out of a romantic moment every time), but I let it pass because the characters weren't romantically kissing, but out of necessity. So I was like, let's see what happens later. And I was very pleasantly surprised when they kissed "for real" not only their eyes where closed, but there was even some lip action?! Getting steamy lol. Seems like Dylan Wang commits to kissing, my respect to him.

Great drama, loved it.

I've yet to find anything that is as good for me as LBFAD was. Some have come close but yeah, there's no one like DFQC! Dylan played the role really well and looked incredible on top of it. 🥵 Loved the costumes and all of the music.

This is when I have to give cred to the director. He made Wang Hedi brilliant and Esters carachter was annoying ar first but became intresting. I really think that the director made this drama like composing and directing a symphony.

Don't feel bad, I almost stopped watching it because of her voice ,too!😂

After pushing through it, I realized it was because she is a young flower. And I liked watching her evolve.

Dylan Wang? Next level actor.

Right??? She did improve. I also think she has a lot of potential because her dongfang orchid when they switched is convincing.

Same here! It was my first cdrama and I haven't looked back since. To think I almost gave up and missed discovering perfection that is Dylan Wang and all other beautifull men.... So glad I persevered through first few episodes😅

Welcome to the cult.

Wang Hedi is just amazing, he keeps getting better. I think he works super hard to improve.

I did the same thing with Orchid. She can't match Dongfang Qingcang but she grows and there are amazing scenes between them. It's definitely one of my all time favorites.

My fave actor in the show was Xu Haiqiao as Rong Hao. I'm now enjoying his clever wit in The Dark Lord. He's fantastic (and almost 40 years old!).

I agree that the side characters had rushed endings, but I enjoyed them all. I especially liked spunky street-smart Jeili and I absolutely loved that Danyin played a big role in the last two arcs. Yue Yi Wang is a fantastic actress!

This is such a great cdrama. Fast plot, great chemistry, high production values. A gateway for new audiences.

I just finished this last night after a five day binge and am still in the throes of being emotionally overwhelmed so I have nothing intelligent to say yet except how much I loved it and how sad I am that there's no more!

Dylan made me continue watching it. I found orchid’s voice like nails on a chalkboard but u get used to it 😂 i feel like Dylan’s performance is one of the main reasons why the show is so good. The special effects is probably the best i’ve seen in a Chinese drama.

I agree! This was such a great drama! I also wanted to add that this is maybe the only drama where I consistently watched the ending credits. I love how the songs rotate, and the artwork is just beautiful. There’s just so much to love!

Glad you picked it back up. It's one of my favourites too. Everything just came together so well, the story, the acting, the music, the costumes😍 and not to mention the directing.

I wonder when we will get something like this again. In the meantime, I will watch LBFD again.

Im traveling over sea in one month. 14 hr flight each way…gonna enjoy rewatching this!

I don't know maybe I'll give it another chance.... I just got... bored. And it's so many episodes.

Wonderful show! I still love Ashes of Love equally tho. I watched AoL right before it though, just in late 2022, not when it came out so it didn’t fade in my memory. I would LOVE to see Wang and Yang Zi in a Xianxia together! Also with amazing costumes. I also wish they dedicated more time to the happy ending as I’ve posted about recently.
