Better Than I Expected
First of all I have to praise Zhou Ye, I recently watched her drama Back from the Brink and loved her performance so watched this film. From this two her film and drama, I see her solving the last problem and she tried hard to save the ml and she succeeds. Both are similar in this regard but her acting was better. I saw her playing a very serious role in this film & this is my first Chen Feiyu film. He acted appropriately! There is nothing wrong with the performance of both of them. I just like the script a little less.How time traveled with candle is not explained easily, you have to think well to understand.Chen Feiyu can kiss very well even in this film I saw but the kissing scene was only 1/2.New variations in time-travel drama! Fate can change

Because this drama is not a Xianxia genre, many people may not put it in the fantasy genre. But it is not that bad as a wuxia drama because the female characters here are strong but some characters are not smart.
I thought I would be a bit disappointed as I don't like Dilraba in flirtatious characters. But surprisingly she didn't disappoint me. And for the sake of those who thought her character was unnatural at the beginning, she acted infront of Han Ye but this is not her true form. So, some thought of the acting as overacting because she did it on purpose and that's what Ren Anle intended be. Everything as Ren Anle is acting of Di Ziyuan.
Han Ye's character is very complex. Many people are commenting on him. Why is his character so pale? But when deeply comes to think about it, he wants a solution for both her family and his lover's family injustice. His family is chaotic and he also has responsibility towards the family. He is righteous but finds it hard to accept when it is his own family who is the culprit. Doing something against his father is equal to rebel.He may be seeking justice but his father is the emperor so he can't able to solve it.
Liu Yuning is acted very good as Luo Mingxi. Despite all this, I will say that I have not seen any decline in this drama in terms of acting.
Liu Yuning's character is smart when he does what is necessary and shows off his intelligence.
Anning and Di Cheng'en these two characters are a bit boring.
The best part of this drama was the casting selection done well.Even though this drama has weak direction & script writing and production problems, I will say that even though this drama has lacking, there is something in it that makes it worth watching. The story is captivating. The visuals of the main lead are amazing!
CGI didn't seem so bad as everyone was saying. In fact, if you adapt the novel, some scenes can't be reflected in reality. And this drama is also about war, so there is not much use of CGI except for first episodes and some scenes. There may be war scenes in the future. I like political things. Some things are better if they are less complex. That thing I like
This review based on 27 episodes. So, i don’t know what happening next.

Xiao Zhan's fashion sense is very good ... The thing I like most about Xiao Zhan is transformation. And in this drama, I liked it very much.Xiao Zhan has performed very well in the romantic & emotional scene.
It would have been better to explain some things, such as the issue of transfer is somehow avoided, some scenes like this have been avoided beautifully.
Yang Zi has done very well in emotional scenes .. In some scenes she has been shown to be very immature... at least at the age of 20's she needs to have a little more maturity. As example Zhixiao went to bar at night with her friends on the other hand, her father was sick & he will be worried for her,she doesn’t even care at this time. Any father will be worried & will be sick if they has daughter like her.
Some of the supporting roles were very annoying. E.g. San San, Gu Xiao,Shao Jiang etc.
Since my favourite is Rom-Com genre drama ... I have seen a lot of such dramas, so from experience I can say that there was no shortage of romance in this drama --- there was also comedy. This drama is worth watching, of course. It is foolish to look for logic in drama. So I took the illogical issues positively.

It is a fairy tale type drama so there are things that are unrealistic but nothing exaggerated
And the acting of the actors and actresses is quite natural as it is hard to expect from this kind of drama.
Although it is said that Shen Yue always plays the same type of character, there is no doubt that she is doing well in whatever she does.I never felt she was overacting.
Chen Zheyuan, the character of Xiao Wudi is also very enjoyable. He is lively, withal,cute, he is not a romeo type character but caring enough, a bit naughty but not really bad. He suits his role well.
The second lead actor is good looking but the character seems to be very strict at first but later it turns out to be sad, his character is changing, but I don't like this kind of extra romeo character, I don't like to think of myself as a failure if I fail in love.
The 2nd female lead character is pretty good. Second male lead loves her so much even though she doesn't understand!
Nan Xing's mother who plays the character doesn't look like a mother but a friendly demeanor!
I'm already sick of seeing female characters look childish in Chinese modern dramas, at least I don't see it in this drama for now.
Fantasy dramas are characterized by dramatic elements amid unrestrained fancy, extravagance, caprice, eccentricity. This drama is not very logical so if you look for logic you will not get real pleasure but other than that everything is fine.
But the most positive aspect is the chemistry between the ml and the fl.
