Chen Xi yuan

I liked the show very much except I am unable to see the show to the end as the sub titled shows seem to end around episode 50. I was watching it through youtube. However the show itself is very sweet and I enjoyed the acting as it was not meant to be an Action show but a Love story. On that basis it achieved it's goals.

I love this series. I have watched it at least eight times and intend to watch it again. I am addicted to this series for good reason:the actors, all of them, were convincing. This is one of the best Cdrama love stories ever produced. The storyline is good and the cinematography is breath taking. The lead actors NiNi and Chang Chen gave superb performances as the God of War and his love interest, Ling Xi. Their chemistry was off the charts and yet so natural. I was touched by their performances. This series will make you laugh, make you cry and sometimes make you angry. This is one of the most spellbinding series I've ever watched. Kudos to the writers, director, and actors for a job well done. This series is well worth the watch. Encore!

Firstly, clarify that "Love and Destiny" never copies from any other drama, Chinese Mythlogy is a large background and system, and can generate a lot of ART styles and stories. "Love and Destiny" is an orginial created drama, sourced from Chinese Mythology in ancient times, and its drama plot, lines and values are really full of positive attitude, comparing to such many other myth drama, it spread justice and beautiful willings and creature's right for life. 2ndly, As per those actors and actress in this drama, all of them are really awesome in this drama, not only the leading ones. They do not only have beautiful faces, they do understand and melt into this drama world and the roles. 3rdly, for the main actor and actress (Chang Chen and Ni Ni) their performance with layers, further and further with naturals and logical. And their love does trully touch me, no 3rd one, no ridiculous and always focusing.

The plot gathered from many sources, without its own identity. 60 episodes too long and ended too quickly. Chen Chang was wrong to choose to act in this movie. Ni Ni's makeup is not beautiful. Watching is not impressive at all. Boring. I have watched and understand why the high scores but few people see and comment. See once no times later.

If you like character development and a slow-building love story, than you'll absolutely love this show. Personally, I loved it so much that I've seen all 60 episodes in just 3 days, despite the fact that I started watching the show with the assumption that "I will most definitely get bored by it".

There were a few things I didn't like, such as the costumes and make-up of some the secondary characters (namely the old guys). Plus, some special effects could have been done better given today's expectations. But the overall story was so good that it simply eclipsed any minor issues the show has.

There are also plot twists, which personally I found predictable, but I didn't mind that at all because they were the logical conclusion of a longer story development. And having another twist would have been poor taste on the writer's part.

Btw, if you expect non-stop action on the length of just a few episodes, then you'd better orient yourself to something another show cause this ain't for you.

I'm not really sure why it's rated below 8.0, but this show deserves at least 8.5.
