Interesting plot and great cast poorly exploited
I watched this drama for Xu Kai Cheng, perfect as usual and I also like Xing Fei, the FL.However, if the plot (TT) is attractive and the first episodes are very catchy, the last third of the series is quite disappointing. The director wanted to drag the FUCK out of the plot with unnecessary and boring narrative arcs.
PLOT: FL, a young aspiring designer of the 21st century, is projected into a parallel (historical) martial arts world via a meteorite. She finds herself in the bed of the ML, heir to the most important sect, who also has a meteorite for TT later on. They will learn to know each other, trust each other, love each other, to face rivals together (villains of all kinds, evil sects, etc.)
PROS:
+ an excellent CL (but too many fake kisses).
+ some tasty scenes linked to Time Travel.
+ good support actors.
CONS:
- Here we find all the clichés of the TT, at the beginning well exploited, but which become boring by their repetition: the bad guy who wants to dominate the world, the rival and jealous half-brother, the obsessive lovers, etc.
- the last episodes are painful and require FF to get to the end. The arc “he disappears into space despite his desire to return” is poorly exploited.
=> This series could have been excellent, but the potential is wasted by a poorly written story.
***********************************************************************
J'ai regardé ce drama pour Xu Kai Cheng, parfait, comme d'habitude et j'aime bien Xing Fei, la FL.
Cependant, si le plot (TT) est attrayant et les 1ers épisodes très accrocheurs, le dernier tiers de la série est assez décevant. Le réalisateur a voulu "rallonger la sauce" avec des arcs narratifs inutiles et ennuyeux.
PLOT: La FL, jeune aspirante designer du XXIe siècle, est projetée dans un monde parallèle d'arts martiaux (historique) via une météorite. Elle se retrouve dans le lit du ML, héritier de la plus importante secte, qui possède également une météorite. Ils vont apprendre à se connaitre, se faire confiance, s'aimer, pour affronter ensemble les rivaux (villains en tous genres, evils sectes, etc.)
PROS:
+ un excellent CL (mais trop de fake kisses).
+ quelques scènes savoureuses liées au Time Travel.
+ de bons acteurs support.
CONS:
- On retrouve ici tous les clichés du TT, au début bien exploités, mais qui deviennent lassants par leur répétition : le méchant qui veut dominer le monde, le demi-frère rival et jaloux, les amoureux obsessionnels, etc.
- les derniers épisodes sont pénibles et nécessitent du FF pour aller au bout. L'arc "il disparait dans l'espace malgré son envie de revenir" est mal exploité.
=> Cette série aurait pu être excellente, mais le potentiel est gâché par une story mal écrite.

This could have been better! I have seen better!
My friend recommended this drama and so, I embarked on it with anticipation and excitement. The beginning of the drama was truly pretty enjoyable! However, as the drama progressed, things started to go downhill.What I liked (at first):
- The start was intriguing and interesting. The part about the magic meteorite was quite refreshing.
- The male lead was so tall and handsome. He carried the show.
- The plot was quite engaging and interesting at first.
What I didn’t like (later on):
- Fair Xing wasn’t that likable in this drama. I have seen several of her works and I’m quite a fan of hers but this drama made me feel that she hasn’t grown as an actress. Rather, her performance has deteriorated. I couldn’t understand her push-pull with the charming male lead. I felt that she should have acted like a mature woman. She behaved like an immature little child.
- The plot changed from interesting to bizarre and fairly confusing.
- There were hateful characters like male lead’s younger brother and others.
Overall, I think that this drama is okay to be missed. Watch Fair Zing’s other dramas which are much better.

In This Drama, You Can Enjoy Both Modern Society And Historical Society
In this drama, you can enjoy both dramas of modern society and historical society. Usually, I don't watch historical dramas much, but I don't miss any drama of Bai Lu, Zhao Lucy, Zhao Ling, Xing Fei, Liang Jie. Be it historical dramas or modern dramas.
Xing Fei is one of my favorite actresses.❤ I never skip Xing Fei's dramas, and if it's with Xu Kai Cheng, there's no question of skipping it.Xu Kai Cheng and Xing Fei are my dream couple. I never thought they would act together.
Love Is An Accident is a drama that can be watched by young and old alike.The funny scenes of this drama were worth watching.You will not feel any lethargy watching this drama.Every episode is very energetic and funny.I enjoyed the fight😂 scenes of Xu Kai Cheng and Xing Fei the most.😂I can't believe it's finally released! Usually I hold out till all episodes are dropped for a total binge. But I can't stop myself! 😩
It's an enjoyable drama. It's funny, the actors are great, they have chemistry so I would recommand it.

Even My Leg Hair Is Beautiful
"I'm the most beautiful and lovely fairy. Even my leg hair is beautiful." -FLUpdated at the end:
What can I say? This drama appealed to me more than "The Eternal Love" did. The ML has real "good guy" energy to him, and so does our FL. I have seen this ML in a number of other dramas, wherein he had all the charisma of a chair (made of wood). Not so with this drama! The FL and ML worked so well together that they won me over. I didn't even have Second Male Lead Syndrome for once. Their PDAs felt authentic and they msde each other interesting as characters to watch. Excellent casting choice here.
I love that the item that allows the characters to time slip is a meteorite stone. Haven't seen that used in a drama before.... or in any story, now that I think about it.
The story is nothing new. It's full of tropes, but I am very entertained, which is all I can ask for in a fluffy drama like this one. Oh! And the quote above that the FL said; I copied it out and will be repeating it as an affirmation.
So... this drama crashed and burned after the 20th episode. 20 episodes was all it could handle before running out of ideas and running off the rails into melodrama city. Should I take the rating down for this? I think in this case, the core charm was so strong that I will just pretend there were only 20 episodes to this series.

Xing Fei is the greatest of this era
This era of actresses we have Yang Mi, Ju Jingyi, Dilieriba, Yang Zi, Bai Lu, Zhao Lusi who all are in brilliant dramas....Where does Xing Fei rank?.... my opinion Xing Fei what doesn't elevate her the top of the rankings is her smaller fan base, but why do these ladies have bigger fan bases?.... it's their ability to draw in people to their concerts, these ladies are excellent live performers but the acting level of some is just okay.... Some of their dramas are unwatchable.... I have given up watching Yang Zi & Ju Jingyi dramas....
Xing Fei might not be good singer, not be great dancer but her acting skills are the best.... it the cute smile, the cute sad faces, the charm she has.... She has the ability to get the best of the cast she works with especially the male lead... Xing Fei has been in like 5-6 classics. Most popular actresses are only in 1 or 2 classics....
Lin Yi, Daddi Tang & Xu Kai Cheng are male leads who are in alot of bad dramas....
Hu YiTian was in ALSB which is a modern classic & few other decent dramas so will cut him some slack but think think him being with Xing Fei in Sharpshooter was what he needed as some dramas he was Main Lead during that time were hit and miss.... Point Xing Fei elevates these guys to another level with her pure skill & charm....
Xu Kai Cheng was in Young & Beautiful with Crystal Zhang which was a horrible drama.... Example of an unlikeable Male & Female Lead on-screen now to this drama both leads being fun & likeable....
Xing Fei best drama for me was 'Miss Crow & Mr Lizard'.... why?.... We have a grand master in Allen Ren possibly one of the best actors of this era alongside Xing Fei which both delivered a classic.... am I surprised Allen Ren wanted to do a second drama with Xing Fei? No.... That performance elevated him to the top & he won't forget it was alongside Xing Fei....
Allen Ren is happier now might get released sooner as possibly wasted his time filming with Song Zuer & after that scandal she was part of , now that drama might never get released....
What makes this drama good?....
I think it's the comedic storyline that is perfectly executed by the cast & especially the leads.... this is seriously non-stop laughs....
Xing Fei is leading the comedy with the humour & Xu Kai Cheng is complimenting the humour with the comedic reaction to Xing Fei.... seriously it's perfect.... I watch heaps of rom-coms were the humour is never funny.... some of these actors/actresses need to watch this drama to see how to properly execute it.... surely the director & writers happy seeing the comedy come to life way they intended it to.....

His love for FL is amazing!
This drama is quite interesting, the villain is trying to break them both. ML will win her back because his love for her is overwhelming. The ML is a versatile actor. His voice movement gestures and facial expressions described his excellent expressive skills. both of them ML and FL are good pair the level of their acting skills are the same.Both of them try their best to deliver their acting naturally. We have to consider that they never had any intimate connection with each other they have their BF and GF so delivering false intimate emotion is hard too. But they did a good job.

It had great potential but it didn't work for me
Let's start with a fact: I only became interested in watching this drama because of Xing Fei.I love her and her dramas, so, even though I don't really like historical dramas and i don't often have this genre on my "tbw" list, I decided to watch the drama while it was airing. Just because i was curious about these two actors together.
Okay. I want to say that I enjoyed a lot their pre-couple dynamic, and I think that although there were several plot holes, like ML quickly learning to use technology and FL's parents being so "understanding" about the presence of an unknown man Inside the house, I decided to just not think too much, not take it too seriously and just have fun watching. Until it started to not be that fun, and it became repetitive.
The "CON" side:
1. ML being extremely jealous to the point of being exaggerated: I really didn't like the restaurant scene. I understand the clichés, and I know they flirted, etc., but it still bothered me. I thought he was a bit controlling to a certain point.
2. Annoying SF: I always complain about this, but I can't take SF or SL anymore. I just think it's almost 2024 and that doesn't happen in real life. Sorry, it's so outdated.
3. Annoying young brother: There is already "the time" complication, in my opinion, it wasn't necessary to place ML's younger brother as his "rival", you know? He seems like just a boy who didn't have much love and recognition in his life, FL was just someone who gave him what he needed and he mistook that for love.
4. Repetitive plot: that's it. We just watched the same things again and again
5. Bad kissing scenes: Despite the good chemistry with the ML actor and good acting, Xing Fei's kiss scenes are usually bad, and in "Love Is An Accident" we have the same situacion. In my opinion, the actress seems very mechanical in this type of scene.
6. Too much episodes
The "PRO" side:
1. Carismatic FL: I love Xing Fei's acting, and in this drama, she did a really good job.
2. Really likeable SC's
3. Amazing chemistry between the leads
4. Romantic story
5. Really beautiful scenery
6. Light and funny, overall
So, that was my review.
I don't think it was a bad drama, I just think it could have been better.
