Her Fantastic Adventures (2024)

An adventure to find yourself

Her Fantastic Adventures is a drama that finally aired after finishing production, four years ago. This drama is an adaptation of the novel entitled The Crazy Adventures of Wu Gate by Ying Zhao. The main characters is played by Song Yiren as Qi Chun Jiao, Gu Qing Qiao and Guo Jun Chen as Duan Yu.

Synopsis: This drama tells the story of a female athlete who accidentally travels to the past, when she was at the lowest point in her life.

Note: this is not the first Song Yiren's drama about time travel, although of the year it was produced, it is the first. The other one is Different Princess which has been broadcast first.

Plot:
The drama is set almost entirely in ancient times with occasional flashbacks to modern life. In ancient life, Qi Chun Jiao reunites with four men she knows in modern life, namely the man she likes, Duan Yu and his younger brother, Shaoyi, her best friend, Lu ZiZheng, and her team doctor, Ruan. With them, she underwent great challenges and adventures.

My opinion:
Even though recently there have been many dramas in this genre, it seems like The director was trying to take a different approach. If you don't mind spoilers, please keep reading.

The adventures she went through are like an escape from her heartache, disappointment, fear and despair. But is everything running smoothly? No, she must fight to survive and quickly return to real life.
When she finally comeback, they didn't go into more detail about what happened to Qi Chun Jiao's athlete career, but when she woke up from a coma, mother embraced her with love. And life goes on, as the story moves forward to five years later. It turned out that the five of them were still in close relationships with each other. And in my opinion, the main female character has moved on from all the feelings that shackled her and has become an independent businesswoman. However, it cannot be denied that this time Duan Yu and she have to face their unresolved feelings in the past.
In conclusion, everything that happened in ancient times was part of a dream that had no direct impact on real life because the people she met in ancient times did not experience or remember these dreams. It's just part of her inner struggle and personal growth process.

Closing:
This is definitely not Song Yiren's best drama but her acting never disappoints me. The main couple's chemistry isn't the best either, but their chemistry is better in modern life. Song Yiren, Guo Jun Chen and Li Jiu Lin show good acting, especially towards the end of the drama. The background music and songs are good and pleasant to listen to.
This drama could be an option for those of you who are fans of time travel, as well as a drama filler. Don't think too hard and don't expect too much.

The relationship between the leads is kinda adorable.

I went into this expecting a typical Ireine Song drama. She is one actress that gets typecast for such roles and I don't mind watching them once in a while. But, I do wish that her agency or she would choose to portray some somber characters that are not to be messed with. I loved her in the different princess. She was perfect for the character, she always looks like a mischievous imp having fun in all her dramas and we get to see her enjoy it. But I want her to break that mold.

Ep 1 to Ep 10: This drama has been fun so far, the leads are adorable. The other characters not so much. The story is pretty tame and I wouldn't have watched this drama had it not been for Ireine.

Ep 11 & Ep 18: Okay, I kinda expected this plot to go awry because of her being prophesized to be his family's destructions. But whoa, that was angsty as hell. Once we are past the angst, we get some boring episodes.

Ep 19 to Ep 24: Things aren't picking up. I want to see how it ends so I am holding on, but I have to skip most parts of it. Qiao is again in jail and Duan Yu is of no help again.

Ep 25 to Ep 32: So Lu Zi Zheng is the enemy, not really surprised by that, but I'm shocked about the carnage at the Xiling sect. He thinks everything will reset once the FL goes back. I don't think things are going to go his way. As of now, I'm just watching it for the sake of watching. The story or the atmosphere created isn't immersive enough. I just focus on what's going on with the the leads and a few other characters.

Ep 33 to Ep 36: Whoa, now that was fun. They should have had this do over thing before and let us enjoy this second lifetime a bit more. maybe the drama would have been more interesting. But with only 2 episodes left, they'll have to wrap up things in a hurry. It was one of those dramas that won't leave a lasting impact. Something of a filler you watch while waiting on other dramas. I did the characters in ancient settings compared to the modern times.

decent fantasy/modern mix

At first it was confusing took a few eps to kind of understand that it was all in Qi Chunjiao's head when she got knocked in the head by the falling sign and had been in a coma so she dreamt of one of those fantasy style type worlds which felt real and had those she loved appeared as her fantasy characters. It was interesting seeing them do a mix of reality vs fantasy showing moments of her real life as the girl who had 3 men like brothers even though 2 of them Duan Yu, Lu ZiZeng were the main male leads who both loved her both in the fantasy and real world.
LZZ though he was and felt more protective brother but he lingered for her to love him as more than that even at the end he hoped she could see him as something more than just someone she can ask for help with even though both of them knew at that point their love wasn't the romantic type, the fantasy version of him was more in love with her though not as a brotherly way but desired bc of some mystical fate he learned that she was meant to be his bride and changing their fate was his way of trying to be with her but failed at the end when she changed it by finally waking up from the dream. Felt bad for him dude is good looking and in both worlds just like in costume and regular looks he slays both versions so well. Wanted more of him hehehe. He was bad ass and tough on the outside in the fantasy world wit the martial arts stuff and in the real world he like a teddy bear who was there for QC.
Duan Yu SMH that boy the real world ver was just (I like Guo JunChen he's a good actor) but character-wise felt pitty for him bc dude is smart rather be more academic and shy towards QC that he missed his chance with her, QC really had her heart set on him but he chose to run to America to study rather value the love he had from her, even the talk with LZZ at the end he knew he made the wrong choice to run from her like that back then and now he wanted to go forward but QC moved on from him she just wanted to live whether as a single person for the rest of her life, DY was a coward but the fantasy ver DY seemed clueless when it came to love too but he went along with it, he was drawn to her and she brought her real world habits into it wit the rings as being symbol of love she can have wit him that she didn't have wit the real DY and experience the pain of being lied to and hurt by him too when he prisoned herand tortured her which like damn was cruel but the fantasy world wanted that ver of her to suffer bc she was like some kind of curse to the Duan liniage and he had no choice but to do it til he took her out and they both felt heart broken mostly her when she left and DY started to see he was falling in love with her as they were separated and when they met again he wanted to win her back which showed and even when bad ver of LZZ changed the fantasy both met again their love was still there no matter the change they would find their way back to each other but her fantasy became reality and she saw that DY was just the love she knew she couldn't get in the real world even though he knew her love for him was there but she just ended up wanting to live in the moment not tangle in love.
Ruan SiQiong oh sweet gentleman in both ver, fantasy ver also martial arts man but also a medicine man who cared for her, real world ver just a doctor and smart also cared for her just a nice man overall, sad the fantasy ver lost his life twice one when the sword was pulled out and changed bc of LZZ but that 2nd ver he was more of regular man who had no martial skills so bad LZZ killed him overall. He was like a big bro to her who could see DY loved her but wanted to protect her from him, the real world ver didn't really have much scenes so hard to say but he still a doc overall.

If your looking for something to pass through this would be one of those and if you like the mix of the modern life vs fantasy costume world this seemed decent enough had moments of LOL's and 4 good looking men who you can stare at and wonder if they should have their own drama lol, it has that romance not heavy but subtle with the fantasy ver of Qi ChunJiao as Gu Jing Qiao and Duan Yu, the fantasy world was more interesting than seeing the modern world though with the martial arts scenes and weapons fight and seeing the men in the costumes, not that the modern ver of the men weren't good looking but something about the styles worked better for them in costumes. Irene Song was an interesting choice as lead, she seemed to have a good amount of chem with each of the guys enough to watch how funny she can bring moments alive with some giggles but the dubbed voices not sure worked as well, cant tell if they all had voices dubbed by themselves or done by another voice actor but its weird when real voices vs non can feel hard to like. Dont get me wrong not sure if the actors actually did use their real voices or not sometimes its hard to tell in the dramas since some actors use voice dubbers due to production or so.
