Chen Xi yuan

Absolutely fabulous costume drama, love story! Chang Chen's performance as God of War Jiuchen was over-the-top incredible! Hopefully, his entrance into a TV series like 'Love & Destiny' will have him opting more of these C-dramas in the future. He is just amazing! Likewise, Ni Ni's performance as God of War's love interest Lingxi was so adorably charming and alluring: I was mesmerized by all her expressions! Both actors complimented each other perfectly to create a breathtakingly brilliant drama: really beautiful chemistry! The CG and world building was undeniably fantastic! Wonderful story, great writing and exceptional entire cast & crew! Bravo! Loved it!

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.

Great main male and female leads! Acting from those two really made this series so enjoyable. After watching I am a big fan of Ni Ni and Chang Chen. Chang Chen as God of War was perfect. So much charisma. I normally dislike the cliche cute, innocent, kind female leads in Asian dramas but Ni Ni made her character so believable. Can't help caring for her as Jiuchen does. I could not finish very popular ten miles peach blossom (although the male lead is good but not as good as Chang Chen to me in that series. I found the supporting characters annoying and the female lead/character also not as good) but love this one. Better supporting cast and stories as well. Can understand antagonists' motivations more, not just pure evil. If you don't know much about Asian mythology it may be a bit confusing story wise and who's who. Just minus one star since I felt the pacing could be slightly better. A little draggy in the middle then felt a little rushed at the end.

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.
