Some wrote a very biased review because of their favorite LBFAD which also occupies the same timeslot as Immortal samsara. (Of course, a competitor fan indeed!) As a fan of both series, Immortal Samsara is worthy of watching too. It perfectly portrays the elements of a xianxia drama. I can see the hardwork and effort of the cast as well as the entire production team. Give it also a chance so you will see the beauty of the series. I hope they will also win a lot of awards for their hardwork. I truly believe that the cast and the entire production team deserves an award too. I rarely finish a drama but when I do I will stick and be addicted to it like a gum. I'm starting to shift from LBFAD to IS..hahaha.

This is the only drama with no filler episodes.. I enjoy watching the entire show.. There is a sense, flow, and the story is well written. Usually the mortal realm part is boring but in this drama, I enjoy watching it.

I believe the people who gave this series a negative biased review are the fans of the previous CP of the leads in their previous projects, fan of other "competitor dramas", or basher of the leads. I know it because I'm like that too in the past but now I become maturer and respectful of other peoples hardwork.

I pray Cheng Yi and Yang Zi will have a third collaboration as the leads in the near future...Fighting!

Immortal Samsara is such a GORGEOUS, romantic, magical, fantasy Xianxia show! Love love the Hanfu (Traditional Chinese Clothing) costume, and the beautiful cast - especially Cheng Yi, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi, and Li Xinze! The traditional Chinese heaven palaces and places are well, heavenly, and the special effects are STUNNING.

If you love Ashes of Love or Love and Redemption, you will love this show!

You can find this show on Youku (advanced viewing) and Youtube. You should definitely watch it! :)

At first, I was a little bit surprised to see the rating of 'Immortal Samsara' got in IMDb. Knowing that it had been on my watch-list for quite sometime, I was so ready to watch it anytime soon. Yet, seeing the low rating made me postpone watching it. It was disheartening to see 'Immortal Samsara' did not get proper recognition in China. As an international fan and a big fan of Cheng Yi and Yang Zi, it was quite sad to see they did not get what they deserved.

A few days ago, I could not wait any longer, so I started watching it when I had free time. I really wanted to know what made some people did not enjoy or appreciate this drama series. Frankly speaking, I enjoyed a few episodes in the beginning as it was very funny to see how the two main characters, Yin Yuan and Yan Dan, played by Cheng Yi and Yang Zi, always had things to bicker about. For those who had watched Cheng Yi in 'Love and Redemption' and Yang Zi in 'Ashes of Love' would probably think 'Immortal Samsara' as the combination of those two, and I must admit I felt it too. However, it did not stop me from enjoying it and see how things would end. So, if any of you have a plan to watch it, my suggestion is please do not read any reviews of it beforehand.

I was not sorry at all for spending my time watching this amazing series, with total of 59 episodes and 2 special episodes of 7-8 minutes each, I felt very excited as well as blessed for being able to witness Cheng Yi and Yang Zi's beautiful chemistry and fantastic acting. Superb! Great work!

I was waiting for this drama to air since its filming was complete. I looked forward to this series because of the story. I also trust that Yang Zi and Cheng Yi could do justice to their characters. As expected, they didn't disappoint. Whenever they are in the same scenes, they tell the story of two fated lovers' sweetness and sorrow. They are able to draw the audience into their characters.

Even though the series is based on Taoist and Buddhist religious framework (e.g. People or objects achieve deity status through cultivation), the overarching theme is to love and care for the world, an essential teaching of Confucianism. The latter dictates the main characters' behaviors and decisions. For example, Ying Yuan's name literally means "answer to the deep (the world down below)." As a deity of high rank, Ying Yuan is not aloof but very into the well-being of the world.

The ending of the story came as a surprise to me because it was unlike the other series of Xianxia genre (a combination of Chinese martial arts and folklores or classical stories). As I thought more about the character of Ying Yuan, his choice for the love of the world than his own was reasonable. Yan Dan grew to know his heart and understand his cause. At the end, she forgave him and supported him. Her decision to follow Ying Yuan was understandable. The ending is actually very uplifting. All Ying Yuan's life, he thinks that he didn't deserve to be alive because he was born of a sinful father. However, his very own existence became the salvation of the world. He answered this world with his love even though he had to give up his own.

I love how Yangzi and Cheng Yu portrayed their characters in this drama. I earnestly hope that they can collaborate again.

Based on the novel Chen Xiang Ru Xie by Su Mo, Immortal Samsara follows Ying Yuan (Cheng Yi) the Sovereign Lord and protector of a fantastic heavenly realm inhabited by deities and spirits who live long, peaceful lives above the clouds, and Yan Dan (Yang Zi), one of two rare four-leaf Lotus Blossoms who just wants to live a care-free life.

When both lives entwine, consequences, misunderstands, secrets and conspiracy is the name of the game, and romance can be what breaks everything in between.

A strong romantic fantasy drama with brilliant character performances, visually stunning CGI and cinematography as well as a beautiful romantic storyline, many great action sequences and some serious tearjerker moments thrown in!
