absolutely wonderful
this is my first Esther Yu drama and it absolutely didn't disappoint, now i want to watch more of her dramas, this drama is a wonderful introduction to all the artists in it cause it will make you want to watch more of their works.Story: the plot of this drama was wonderful, it was very interesting and fun watching it, there might be some flaws here and there but they are totally overlooked. the drama balanced between comedy and romance and sadness, i enjoyed watching it so much. it is the type of plot that anyone will like.
Acting: the acting of all the characters was perfect, especially the leads, they felt so genuine and real, they absolutely brought those characters to life, and their acting skills just made me want to watch more of their dramas, they know how to make us forget that we are watching a drama and that these are but characters they are playing, they felt absolutely real.
Music: i enjoyed listening to all the music in the drama, they put the right music at the right time and it just made the drama better and the watching experience better.
Production: the drama in a high end drama, it shows that the budget wasn't low, the special effect were so nice, they felt almost real, but what i liked the most is the fact that they change clothes and accessories and hairstyles quite a lot, which made watching the drama a better experience.

OVERHYPED
Great start, but fell off in the middle. It just became kind of boring and lost the charm. There was WAY TOO MANY scenes for the 2nd lead couple I ended up skipping so much of their parts. Zero chemistry. Their acting are soo wooden, like where are the facial expressions?? Esther's portrayal of Ling Miao Miao was basically the same as her character in Love Story Between Fairy & Devil, and Sword & Fairy. That cute, slightly dumb, naive, clumsy, wide-eyed leading girl it's just so exhausting to watch which is a shame cause she was good in the drama with Zhang Linghe. First time watching anything Ding Yuxi and he's actually not bad here. Overall i'd give it a 6.5/10Was this review helpful to you?

˚ʚ♡ɞ˚ Love, Laughter, and Fantasy!
OverallLove Game in Eastern Fantasy is an engaging isekai drama with a strong narrative voice, diverse arcs, and compelling characters. Miaomiao's journey, her chemistry with Ziqi, and her standout performances make it a memorable experience.
Story
I really enjoyed the story. The isekai into a fantasy world with an occasional narrative voice makes the story so much better because you can relate to Miaomiao constantly. The arc and plotlines differed from each other as well as different characters' backstories and values were explored!
My least favorite arc was the Princess arc but that was solely because I don't enjoy Second MLs & FLs. On the other hand, my favorite arc is tied between the first and the last arcs! In the first, Miaomiao is constantly killed and disapproved by Ziqi but they still have lingering chemistry. The last arc was between Ziqi and Miaomiao because their love was tested by Ziqi's 'Aunt', then Again by the system in the last episode. I truly love Ziqi as a character, even when he was just a kid he remembered so many small details about Miaomiao and always kept looking for her.
Acting/Cast
Esther Yu. usually plays those cute high-pitched character voices and she completely embodied Miaomiao! From their mannerism to facial expressions she did a wonderful expressive job at Miaomiao.
Ding Yu Xi, was amazing! His subtle expression changes of sassy & pissed off was very pleasing to watch.
The chemistry between both Esther Yu and Ding Yu Zi was outstanding, Esther brings charm and depth to her role, while Ding Yu Zi adds a cool, calculated energy. Together, they create a captivating dynamic that makes the drama truly enjoyable. I hope to watch Moonlight after this because of how much I enjoyed their characters together.
Zhu Xu Dan and Yang Shi Ze deliver great performances in Love Game in Eastern Fantasy.!! Zhu Xu Dan brings a mix of grace and strength to her role and is a great sub-villain because of possession! Yang Shi Ze captures the charm and depth of his character, making their chemistry shine. To be honest, at first, I was worried they were going to be basic one-sided NPCs but I actually heavily enjoyed their characters and their facial expressions are in my sticker collections forever!
Other great characters were Cuicui (played by Lu Yu Hao), Guo Xiu (played by Shao Tong) & Lu Huai An (played by Morning Chang!)

Ending feels a bit lacking?
The drama has a nice and exciting plot, and the characters are really well-developed, making it easy to get invested in their stories. However, the ending feels a bit lacking. It doesn't tie everything together as well as I hoped, leaving some loose ends that could have been wrapped up more satisfyingly. Overall, it was enjoyable, but I wish the conclusion had done justice to the buildup! ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀Was this review helpful to you?
Love yourself before loving someone else
Love Game in Eastern Fantasy is your typical isekaid drama where the Female Lead transmigrates into the world of a novel she left a bad review for . In that world, she inhabitants the body of the Second female lead who's supposed to be secretly evil. Her mission is to save the world and conquer the heart of Mu Sheng, who has a complex personality.The drama is very funny and the chemistry between the leads is amazing. I enjoyed it for the most part. It feels like I'm watching an anime but with Chinese mythology, the stories of the demons are also interesting in the beginning at least. I feel like the drama lost its momentum a bit in the 2nd half.
It started becoming more and more boring towards the end and many plot points didn't make sense, it felt like they were added just to increase the time span. Many arcs were utterly boring but the magic that Esther Yu and Ding Yuxi create by being together was interesting enough to continue. The supporting characters were not memorable except Cuicui and his grandpa.
It's essentially a drama about self love and how we should be kinder to ourselves and the people around us. How we shouldn't judge people by their status if they are demon or human. Both can be evil or kind. We shouldn't fixate too much towards endings, it's the journey that counts. Although these messages and theme are beautiful and made me cry a bit, especially how they portray the beautiful bond of friendship and romantic relationships. But i felt the execution of these themes could've been better.
Overall, it was trying to be something more but it kind of failed to be but the romance was incredible, I wish we had more moments of them and the comedy is also brilliant. Despite all the flaws, it's actually a pretty good drama to watch once.
8/10

Emotional Rollacoaster
This is the first time I have finished a Chinese Drama with 32 episodes, but it was worth it. Depending on the genre you like, you will either love or hate this drama. The story of Love game was so beautiful and would bring happy and sad moments. I would recommend it to people who are into fantasy and real-world ancient-type shows. Honestly just wish there was a scene where the FL and ML faced together in the real-word.Was this review helpful to you?

Overall a very good drama but the ending…
Overall this drama was very good. The acting, Cg, costumes, music and the overall story was all great so I still rate it high even tho a part of the ending was pitiful. First of all the last episode was pretty confusing in my eyes, when Miao Miao died and turned back time and then the author thing I don’t know it just felt very messy in a sense although I guess it went with whole theme of the drama but when they came back into the real world that was when I started to like the ending. Yes it’s not a spelled out ending but I’m pretty sure they met back up after Miao Miao name was called so I would call this an happy ending for me at least. For me personally I wouldn’t be able to rewatch it since it’s so unique but I can see how people would want to since the visuals are great.Was this review helpful to you?
IT WAS ACTUALLY GREAT and i typically don't like reborn into book "isekai" dramas
Definitely do not pass this one up! The ending managed to be wholesome, even though everyone wished for more.Story: FL is a mega fan of the author who wrote this fictional book Love game in eastern fantasy. She dreams of it one night and experiences an epic adventure as the main character of the book.
To be honest, i watched the first few episodes and thought it would be really cringe. But i kept going. And i'm so glad i did.
At the end, i was sure they would botch it up. How could they tie up the historical love story with real life ? Basically, you will find out the reason the author wrote the book this way and why FL dreamt of it. As well as why Male lead felt like he never had a mother.
In summary, the soundtrack was great, special effects were high quality, acting was great on all parts, and the story had lots of good themes.

A wonderful and hilarious adventure with lovable characters
Wow, what a journey! This drama was a breath of fresh air. It was hilarious and heartfelt and wonderful. The fantasy elements and world building were superb, the characters were so lively and I cared so deeply for them. I really, really loved this drama and the FL was so cute and funny, I really liked her and she was the perfect cast. As were the rest of the main characters too, they were perfect. This story was well written and I loved it, but it drag a little towards the end and took a bit more time to finish than the first 20 or so episodes which I absolutely flew through because I could not stop watching. Be sure to give this drama a chance if you like fantasy and demons, enemies to loversesque relationships (although not quite enemies, just a bit of the dynamic) and found family!Was this review helpful to you?

It's Review time
Okay so let me get started ,this drama kept me hooked but i felt like last two episodes were rushed ,i was waiting for the MLs to have a proper interaction in modern world .About Acting
as always esther yu has swayed it and i just love her bubbly nature ,her acting is versatile ,the way she portrayed 3 characters and you can still tell them apart just because of her acting ,the way master Mu,Lin Yu and MiaoMiao differ is visible and it's all the way esther acter..as for the male lead the development of his character ,traumas and overcoming past it was just awesome.
relationship development
the way ziqi and miaomiao's relationship developed with each episode was incredible ,the story line was perfect until it was in ancient time....
Story line
i was a lil disappointed when i saw that they kept the ending open instead of clearing it was showing a happy ending ,they kept all the characters hanging in the past ,i loved lil shoot cuiui he is adorable and the present one was just cherry on top..
overall it was better but could have been best if they didn't rushed it and showed a lil of modern era too..
Love you all..
