Not done watching, but a minor complaint
For the most part, I think this series is great. The main characters have great chemistry. The supporting characters also mesh well. The storyline is great. My one small complaint is actually pretty common in a lot of these dramas. I think it's gross when they make a female student fall in love with their master. For one, the student/teacher relationship is already questionable. However, it's worse when the teacher raised their student because they're much older and have assumed a parental role. In this case, Ming Xiu fell in love with Gu Han Jiang and even though he never outright reciprocated, you can clearly tell he feels the same. She was literally a child when they met and he was already a man. For me, it's just gross when an adoptive parent falls in love with their adoptive child and vice versa. Pedo, anyone? These dramas need to stop romanticizing these type of relationships. Just because they aren't blood related, doesn't mean it's not gross.Was this review helpful to you?
A very beautiful game adaptation drama ??
I would describe this drama in one word, perfect. From any aspect, I didn't find any flaws that could reduce my interest in watching. Lovers of this game definitely very happy. ❤️?❤️?❤️?The acting of the cast is extraordinary, especially the main actor Xu Kai who plays two characters and Esther Yu who with her intelligence makes Yue Qi very comfortable to look at to the point that I feel that she is my precious child and I would love to make her egg noodles all the time. The storyline is also very entertaining and to be honest, even though I already know what the storyline will be like because of the game adaptation, I am still tempted and looking forward to the next episode. This is one of the legendary dramas.

Haters, leave this wonderful drama alone
The original soundtrack, which flawlessly encapsulates the tone and ambiance of the drama, is similarly amazing.The opening of the drama is beautiful. The characters have chemistry and naturally come together.
The actors really gave life to their characters
The banter of Yue Qi and Yue JinZhao makes your heart flutter that you also want to pinch the cheeks of Qi too.
The comedic tone of the drama captivates you at the very start to want more.
The drama deserve a very high rating for it's unique plot.
I'm sad that a certain cult mostly Zhao Lusi Fans would not stop delusional war in almost all china celebrity fandom.
They attack this by rating every episodes even the unreleased one. They stoop petty low.
Don't bring your delusional that your idol is the only great one. Let others enjoy other drama.

Amazing
Just like Sword and Fairy 4, this drama looks like a Final Fantasy game too. I'm surprised in first episode the ML already met FL. So they were like brothers and sisters at first. Their chemistry is good. I just love when the OST plays. I know that Zhou Shen is one of the singers of their OST especially on the opening damn that vocal is so impressive. Very fit in this drama. Then goes the mysterious Zhaoyan. Even she acts a man there, she's really beautiful. I don't know but I love her character more than Qi. Qi is cute but I dunno, I wanted her some improvements in acting. Her voice is, I know it's normal but yeah, hope I will get used to it. Also, I like Xu Kai's other character Bian than Jinzhao. I'm surprised to see Jia Nai from The Last Immortal here even though she's only a guest. I just wish she can be a support role but yeah that's how it is.I just wonder how SNF6 will be talking about sword or fairy as in its title drama. Or is there something important artifact in the future? Maybe in future episodes. Highly recommended too especially to those games and loves adventure stories.

I don't understand the hate this is getting...
The plot is quite original, the characters are well rounded, there are adventures, emotions and battles... even a slice of romance gets invited! I laughed, I fell in love, I cried (so many tears but no regrets)...I have to admit it helps if you like Yu Shuxin in her favourite role type (woman-child with character growth).
Bonus point to Xu Kai playing the first male lead... and the second male lead. Very confusing if you like to root for one couple only haha Anyway, once you understand why Xu Kai had to play two characters, you see how brilliant it really is.
This drama deserves so much better, give it a chance !

A very Exciting and Sweet Adorable Main Lead stars
Yu Shuxin and Xu Kai potrayed their roles perfectly as Yue Qi and Jinzhao / Bian Luohuan. They have a very good onscreen chemistry and great acting capabilities. The OST's and fighting scenes are amazing and well exexuted too ! Highly recommended to watch out for this 2024.Esther Yu being able to show the character of Yue Qi as a bubbly, innocent, kind, and strong Lady Yue Qi. Yu Shuxin also the one who dubbed her own voice in Sword And Fairy 6 that's why she's really a very talented actress and singer who sung the two OST's of this action, romance, fantasy, adventure drama series.

What I found interesting in this drama
I started watching this drama because of Xu Kai. I wanted to watch a drama where Xu Kai had that energetic, free and fun character. So if you're looking for one, this is it. It doesn't have those misunderstandings, betrayals, schemes jealousy and all of those ugly stuff you would usually find in a drama. It doesn't even have a villain! But still, I couldn't stop crying throughout the entire drama, this is literally a roller coaster of emotions. This is a very sad story but at least, it has a happy ending.What I really liked about this drama, is that the drama doesn't entirely focus on just the ML and FL. The character development of all the main characters here are very detailed and emotional. I particularly liked Ming Xiu's character development most. The main ML and FL love story is great, but I personally liked the second couple more. I found 3 characters especially pitiful. Bian Luohan, Luo Maiming and Xiaoyuan.
Xiaoyuan was just a child who didn't know anything but, just like that, she lost all of her close ones, and left alone. She really doesn't deserve it.
Some might argue that Luo Maiming was a bad person, but I can't really see it. The only bad thing he did was to slaughter the entire Luo family, but if you think about it, he made the best choice possible. Once Maiming breaks the blood-binding, the Luo family's water source would be gone. Then the entire Luo family would suffer. Worst case scenario, they might find someone else to do the blood-binding again. In my opinion, Luo Maiming was just a closed off and sensitive, yet attentive person who took good care of the ones he loved behind the curtains.
Bian Luohan, I don't even need to explain. Bian Luohan is Bian Luohan, Yue Jinzhao is Yue Jinzhao. He remained strong and forged through to the end. He didn't deserve such a death, let alone become entirely forgotten. But at least, Ying Xuwei still remembered him till the end.
Overall, you should definitely give this a go!
Thank you for reading this long review to the end! ?

Special
I have always been a fan of xinxia/wuxia dramas, with series like UNTAMED, Eternal Love, Love and Redemption, The Starry Love, and Word of Honor captivating my attention in the past. Now in 2024, a new drama has taken the top spot in my list of favorites - SWORD & FAIRY. From the gripping ost to the intricate storyline and the stellar acting, this drama has truly captured my heart. Xu Kai, who portrays the characters Yue Jin Zhao and Bian Luo Huan with incredible depth and emotion. His portrayal of these complex characters has truly impressed me, and he has quickly become one of my top three favorite actors in China—I wasn't initially a fan of the him, despite having seen him in "Falling Into Your Smile" multiple times (lol), I have now found myself completely enamored with him. His portrayal of both JinZhao/Luo Huan was truly incredible. There were moments where I found myself rooting for Huan, and other times where I was firmly on Jin Zhao's side. Their friendship and shared journeys were so well-developed and heartfelt, it was impossible not to be drawn in. Every single character in the series, from the main protagonists to the supporting cast, delivered outstanding performances. I have to give credit to everyone involved in the creation of this series, as their hard work truly paid off. "Sword and Fairy" stands out from other stories or series I have watched before. It doesn't rely on tired tropes like families torn apart by conflict, or protagonists pitted against each other due to their opposing natures. There is no betrayal among the characters, which was a refreshing change for me. I appreciate the unique and refreshing take on the xinxia/wuxia genre that this series brings to the table.Watching Sword and Fairy was a deeply emotional experience for me, especially when it came to certain characters who really touched my heart. I found myself shedding tears for them, feeling a connection that I didn't feel with the more villainous characters. Each character in the series seemed to have their own unique purpose, and even those with negative intentions had motivations that I could empathize with. One character in particular, Ming, really stood out to me and brought me to tears.
The OST of Sword and Fairy also played a significant role in my emotional connection to the series. Among all my favorite OSTs, the songs from Sword and Fairy, especially "MIRACLE" by JS, have topped my list. There's something about that song that resonates with me on a deep level, bringing to mind memories of my mom and melting my heart with its poignant lyrics. The lyrics speak to the power and beauty of love, reminding me of the importance of connection and resilience in the face of challenges. Lines such as, "Love is the most beautiful meaning in life" and "Love never leaves and is not afraid of ups and downs of reunion" When I listen to the OSTs and read their translations, the effect is truly unique and indescribable. I found myself unable to skip past the intro and outro of each episode, as they helped me understand the deeper meaning behind S&F. The OSTs really captured the essence of the series and added another layer of emotion to my viewing experience.
There was something truly special about it that left me yearning for more, even though I understand the impossibility of extending its storyline further. It's natural to want to hold onto something that has brought us joy and entertainment, and in this case, I find myself wishing for just a few more eps/special eps to delve deeper into the characters and their journeys. The ending felt like a bittersweet farewell—Perhaps, in an ideal world, there would be a few special eps to tie up loose ends and give fans like myself the closure we crave.
