Very enjoyable fantasy drama!

Trully such a nice surprise! I started watching it as I usualy like stories with definitly opposites main charaters. So the title seemed accurate :). And I really found some of " Beauty and the Beast" vibes - with an interesting background story that unfolds . Characters are smoothly sliding from comedy to deeper tones very easily, and leads are all doing great job in portraying their characters. Some time versatiles, some time hilarious.
Even if it's not a high budget drama, actors direction, and the visual directing is very much willing to give us some sensitive and poetry (dark or light) lecture of the story.
I enjoyed it fully. Laughed a lot , and was quite thrilled too.

This drama is as good as reading an interesting tale... I recommend! :)
Will surely rewatch it as such.
Happy watching to you too, cheer!

Hello! Just finished this serie, and here are my first impression :)!What a journey ;p !

1.The story got me so interested, that I will read Tong Hua book to get all the essence of it (and continue the journey to it's ending...).

2.The characters and their relations-connections are sufficiently researched to make me, (allow me) to wonder about my own inner desires, love goals, the background of the life garden seed. Also on how to give it or not a go/what it involves, for the best it can result on.
For the happy ending we, audience all exptect to see, to have too. :)

=>After all: In "Lost you Forever" the FL have lived as a boy/man for decades and think she can detect what she needs from mans when she switch back to woman form . The first chilhood relative is not an innocent like at all, the nine headed demon is by all means as dangerous as to meet a handsome version of Nosferatu and makes you dangerously feel that some part of you (your neck? :p) is just like he is- waiting for a thrill to feel even a bit alive..., and the fox-kind man is like a fragile, porcelaine god of purity, an absolute container of kindness. He's character is innerly very feminine and rafiné (refined).
But that said, each of them trully have some parts that matches our female male lead. Be it, for her male or female inner self. They are all multi dimensional, So is this show. I love it <3!

I was very reluctant to watch this show because Harem/Palace settings are not at all my "thing"...But as soon as it started, it
dived me in completly!.

- Characters, historical attention to details (Qing dinastie), Ost, plot, ...everything got me in just within few minutes and I didnt care anymore for those 70 episode lenght :D...

Every single character is deeply portraited, and even the evil ones are so well written , acted, that you simply sympathize, and are fully driven to understand with each of them :
Each woman has it's own tool to outshine others, and none are stupid-like or meaningless. They all have something very personnal to express ( my favorites are Empress Fuca Rongyin and Gao Ning Xin ). The main female lead is a pure joy to watch dealing with each impossible situation she was forced to step in. While never forgetting neither herself or her goals. While always progressing.

-Wang Mao Lei who is portraiting Yuan Chun Wang is so subtil that whenever I see again this actor in other drama, I just cheer to see him again...

I Gave it not a full 10 just because I wanted her to - after all she have been trought - end up with her first and protective love, rather than the Emperor.
But trust me...this historical drama can be taken as an exellent farandolle of 70 cup of tea !
Enjoy :)
