The genuine confusion you feel when almost the entire world loves #LoveBetweenFairyandDevil and you detest it to the depths of your very being. 😆 🙃
But that's par the course for me - I tend to dislike very popular dramas. Disliked Ashes of Love too. Two things are deal breakers for me: An infantile female lead & terrible acting.
When you have both together, well, that show doesn't stand a chance with me lol.
I am on episode 2 of #LoveBetweenFairyAndDevil and I am like... Why is this rated so highly??? Omg the lead actress can't act to save her life, and worse she has this squeaky anime voice that I detest.
Uh, I think imma gonna just dive into a recap instead of enduring 36 hours 😅😝
Even though the #loveBetweenFairyandDevil spawned so much praise earlier in the year, I couldn't really get into it, and I think some of it has to do with the way Chinese God stories (XianXia?) are produced in Live action.
I think that I will like the story better animated, especially since things, like the main character saying she was a plant, can be illustrated instead of just mentioned.
@Rozzychan Ooh, it took me a few episodes but I ended up liking #LoveBetweenFairyAndDevil a lot. I just watched the first few minutes of this and I might have to stick around for the animated version too, it's already pretty fun! Thank you for linking!
I watch all kinds of international stuff including European detective shows, #Kdrama, #Jdorama and #Telenovelas, but I have never gotten into Chinese dramas. Every time I start one, I quit after an episode or two. Is there something really good out there I am missing? #cDrama
@cs If you like costume dramas with a supernatural element (xianxia genre), perhaps #LoveBetweenFairyAndDevil with Dylan Wang and Esther Yu might interest you?
Only upside of being stuck in bed for 2 weeks with chest infection is time to watch more #cdrama. #TheStarryLove is outstanding - 2 intelligent female leads - comedy, action, angst, romance and lots of entertaining other characters. Best #xianxia since #LoveBetweenFairyAndDevil for me. In particular #ChenXingXu and #LandyLi make me laugh and cry. Also #CaoBo as snarky and long-suffering sidekick steals every scene he’s in for me.
I watched this show out of order, and wasn't much into the genre, so I didn't think much of it at first, but when I heard that the real strength of the show was character development and change, I realized that I needed to go back and watch it from the beginning. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2KdPiLT9MwE

Hi! A small #introduction. I'm a (burned out) IR phd student by day and avid tv watcher all day every day. I get obsessive about shows I like, the more they make me squee the better. I'm main human and second human to two very cute cats and watching my houseplants grow brings me joy. Social interaction makes me really anxious but I promise you I'm trying! I'll be tooting in English here, I think, but maybe I'll reply/boost in French sometimes.
