Back from the Brink

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.

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^

What can I say about this??? This is SO GOOD!!! It has become in my favorite Wuxia so quickly and undoubtedly!!! Ashes of love have been always at the top ( Deng Lun may have or have not A LOT to do with that) and I still love it but after watching this I am just OBSESSED.

My absolute favorite thing about this drama is the female lead, her character is SUCH A BADASS. And I think thats why this has taken the crown as my new favorite against many other Wuxias. Usually female leads are written as such useless characters, waiting for the rescue of the male leads, this one is not waiting for the rescue of ANYONE!!! She is strong and so ready to fight everyone to save everyone she loves!!! She has ideas and is smart and witty!!

Also! She is so brave and feisty!!! Love her so much.

I never watched the actress (Zhou Ye) playing Yanhui before but I am a fan! She is absolutely killing the role! And she has so much chemistry with Neo Hou as the Dragon King I have been following him for a while and watched him already in a few dramas ( my faves when we where Young, and a Girl Like Me)

My least favorite thing has to be the dead fish kisses, but im so used to about them in asian dramas, I don't have tears to cry anymore.....

Everything has just so much quality, but specially the story. Is so original, fresh and absent of clichés.

Filled with multiple characters with different personalities which gives to the story a lot of angles and flavors. There's a lot of comic moments and lighthearted scenes between the drama so it doesn't get too heavy.

Also, there's not just one plot, there are so many different ones, and when one finishes another one starts and there's subplots and backstories as well. Nothing repetitive at all. Is just so entertaining. Not like other dramas dragging the same plot over and over.

Effects and CGI are awesome too and main leads have loads of changes of clothes and costumes which are beautiful, you can tell is not a low budget production.

No rushed ending and no cliché either!

Watch it! You won't regret it.

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.

Summary: If you're looking for a quality fantasy series, skip this one and watch 'Love between fairy and devil' instead.

This show started off excellent and it was interesting till' around episode 26-27. After that, it just got completely ridiculous. The biggest disappointment was the evolution of the main leads, especially Tianyao, which was completely nerfed and they made him into a joke all the time starting from the episode 27-28 and till the end, which made me lose all the interest in the show.

Also, they added a lot of unnecessary scenes and even recycled many of them, which made the show boring and repetitive. Starting from the episode 28 and so on, I skipped a lot till the end and watched the 40 min episodes in just 5 and I didn't feel I missed anything :)

Such a huge disappointment, just like 'Till the end of the moon'.

Finally, the romance/love story is dull and pretty messed up, not emotional at all.

Definitely not recommend this one.
