This has become my favorite xianxia.. I laughed l, I cried, I love so many characters here.

Tian Yao and Yan Hui are the epitome of true love. Their devotion and loyalty to each other are unmatched by anyone else. They would do anything for each other, even sacrifice their own lives. Their love is so pure and powerful that it transcends time and space. They have a bond that connects their hearts and souls. You can feel their emotions and their pain as they face countless obstacles and enemies.

You can also feel their joy and happiness as they overcome them together. You admire their love and wish you could find someone who loves you the same way. They are your role models and your inspiration. They are everything to each other. They are not just lovers, but also best friends, partners, and soulmates.

I hope there will be an additional special episode ^o^

Before I start my review, allow me to show my biggest admiration for all the great music themes of 'Back From The Brink' has. The opening song of this series is one of the reasons I like watching the series from the beginning till the end, and knowing that the male main lead, Hou Ming Hao/Neo Hou also sings one of the tracks from the ost gives me more excitement to watch it and let me tell you, his song really fits the moments between the two main characters (Tian Yao and Yan Hui). Every time his song is played during their moments I cannot help myself from not falling for his soothing voice.

Honestly, I have never seen the works of these two main leads (Hou Ming Hao and Zhou Ye) before and I must say that pairing them up together in this series is an undeniably great choice. They look cute as well as sweet together and both obviously have amazing visuals. They are still young and I believe with their hard work they will become megastars in the future.

I hope people will stop comparing 'Back From The Brink' to other series as we all know each series has their own plus and minus. For me, personally, there are some scenes or moments I think that's really unnecessary in 'Back From The Brink', but they don't stop me from watching this series, and for the record, I just finished watching it last night. I think the ending is a bit satisfying although I hope there's more explanation to some things that I find them odd to figure. In spite of that, I'm quite contented with the whole thing.

It's refreshing to watch a drama where the main leads actually work together as partners to overcome their adversaries instead of killing or betraying the other for the sake of fate or destiny, or some mission they have to do.

I love how open and honest the female lead is with her feelings. I love that she's not this fearful and coy female that needs to be rescued or to be protected all the time. There are times when she even does the saving or rescuing.

The side characters and second leads are likeable as well. The main leads have great chemistry and all in all, a very good looking cast.

I just found the series a little bit too long though. Otherwise, it's a really good show.

The story is about the war for power, ambition, selfishness and ego of the people of a land where different races live side by side, humans and spirits.

Among the humans, there are tribes that destroy spirits just for their own desires and wishes, and among the spirits, there are evil creatures who want the pinnacle of power in their hands.

In the meantime, a simple girl is accompanied by a dragon until a love is formed between them, but obstacles and battles for power and revenge begin.

The special effects are not very defined. The acting is not bad and the chemistry between the lead couple is acceptable, but in 40 episodes of this series, we do not see a good and real kiss, and unfortunately, the negative characters of the story are very exaggerated and constantly kill everyone, and no one criticizes or stops them especially about Suying who murders every creatures she desires just to revive her lover and no one even the tribal chiefs Both the lead characters (the heros and the villains), die and come back to life several times, which makes the audience very tired. And the end of the story, although it is good on the surface, is very childish and illogical.

In my opinion, this drama is only suitable for teenagers and the age group of 14 and I give it a score of 6 out of 10.

Romantic-comedy in xianxia setting, with a good plot and decent acting. The series offers a light-hearted romance with a sense of adventure and themes of equality, friendship and looking beyond the already established prejudices of a world where the lives of spirits/non-humans is taken for granted by the mortals/humans. The nemesis of our male protagonist, a centuries-old dragon immortal is a well-trained and strong-willed female who is the head of one of the sects, willing to do anything to abide by her understanding of the world and love. The female lead is also depicted as rational, strong and independent, who leads the plot of story.

It's a light watch if you're not looking for some heavy drama and romance, like TTEOTM.
