I watched two episodes of Immortal Samsara and bounced, considering I couldn’t even get through Ashes of Love which is objectively a pretty good xianxia and a much better made drama that this. Jin Mi annoyed the shit out of me in AoL and I didn’t have the patience to get to the point she mentally grew up but here at least leads Cheng Yi and Yang Zi are not playing annoyingly written characters from the outset. I just found IS so dramatically pale as a narrative, the story and characters didn’t hook me and the struggles felt like facsimiles of prior xianxia dramas but not in any interesting fresh way. It remains one of the three hit dramas of the summer of 2022 along with Love Like the Galaxy and Love Between Fairy and Devil so I guess it is true that whatever Yang Zi is in will sell even if no one really loves the story all that much. I only heard that IS finished this past week from the howls of fury, frustration, and anger from the fans of the drama who took to social media en masse to complain. I hear you peeps, that was me last weekend from Alchemy of Souls. *solidarity fist bump of anger*
This year 2024 has been a slow year for K-actress Suzy in terms of her…
There are weird casting choices and this one is weird from both the leads itself…
Well this is an interesting pairing, setting aside the age difference at least I can…
I swear I just wrote about Song Joong Ki having his first baby and then…
At the end of the day, the core of any good drama remains the Story,…
If I didn't know this drama was a romance set in space and done K-drama…

Oh yes! I just binge watched the last episodes and it’s terrible! Absolutely dumbfounded at this ending. I’m not even a fan of Yang Zi but I have a super soft spot for Chen Yi, my that man suffers so beautifully that I can’t take my eyes of that handsome face. I haven’t watched love like a galaxy but I’ve seen love between fairy and devil. That was a really good show with a short but satisfying ending, good story, great soundtrack and actors.
You should watch love like the galaxy if
You need a humour, family, romance, slice of life and political palace drama
Agree. LLTG is The best drama after A Dream Of Splendor.
I haven’t seen the ending but curious now why people are mad. I have sort of enjoyed the drama so far
**spoiler**
It’s more because people expect a happy ending after all the couple went though and that didn’t happen. However, there’ll be a surprise sept 7th.
I quite enjoyed the drama, especially the mortal realm arc. Typical xianxia drama, dragged here and there, but what made it popular was probably the acting and Yangzi and Cheng yi’s awesome chemistry.
Love like the galaxy highly recommended
I should have known the ending would disappoint. But, definitely watch "Love like the Galaxy" it is great story & actors!
Immortal samsara is not so good but the acting of the two main lead is undeniably great..yang zi and Cheng yi compliment each other there chemistry is very nice,sweet and hot...
I have been following IS since day 1 n can't wait to see final episodes. Wish got happy ending. I dont understand why dramas must end badly bec we watching as entertainment not reality. Some more it is a fantasy. Actually been watching Love like Galaxy, Love between Fairy & Devil too all 3 same nights. But my sequence is IS, LLG n LBFD...I eagerly await IS first bec the other 2 are more or less predictable. This one very interesting with so many characters
Agreed! <3
Firstly,sad ending is not bad ending . Ying yuan personality decided he going to use his life to save the world to mend the barrier(block devil from enter the heaven) that destroyed by the bad guys while Yan Dan hold her promise that while ying yuan protect the world , she protect ying yuan,hence yan dan need to die in order for her real body to protect his spirits after he kill himself. So that after thousand year, they able to turn into human form and together forever .
I really want to continue watching it but I end up watching Love between fairy and devil
Kind of bummer cause I enjoy the oath of love and love and redemption
it is really a goud drama, and fabulous performance of the team. I wish to see the final episodes. I am waiting for each second to going. I think the love between ying yuan and yandan goes more intresting, i wish to see a hapoy ending.
I love watching IS and always waiting for the new episode every week,thanks season 2 didnt have to wait for another year to watch T.T . This drama fill with lot of adventure and i really love the storyline. I love Yan Dan character, she is clever, beautiful and lovely person. This drama is worth to watch and you will fall in love with demon king compared to love between hero and heroin. Wahahahaha
I watched 3 of the hit dramas of the summer and Immortal Samsara ranked last IMO. CY and YZ were carrying the whole drama by themselves while the director and script writer were smoking weed and getting high at the back of the van.
LLTG is the best followed by LBFD. LBFD is a total surprised for me who never took Dylan seriously as an actor especially after certain dragon drama. But he really redeemed himself in LBFD.
Lbfd was number 1 followed by lltg. Last time it was lltg but the lbfd was grow higher. But is was just small amount .
I meant it by my personal ranking....haha. I love LBFD but it's just a pretty feel good drama unlike LLTG where the story and everything are deeper and more complex.
LMAO!...hahaha....you just nailed the IS director and script writer smoking weed and getting high at the back of the van while CY and YZ were carrying the whole drama by themselves, so TRUE! love YZ and CY but damn they really wasted this two actors talents...tsk tsk..a shame really... Me watching IS is like watching AOL all over again when Yandan the heroine comes in and then the male lead makes an appearance and suddenly it's like I'm watching LAR again...istg! had to pause sometimes just to clear my mind that this is IS I'm watching....even the other characters, drama atmosphere, the concept, the feels are so like AOL and LAR! *sighs*
Agree with you! I really love LLTG best drama, it's my top 1 next to LBFAD and then IS.
Dylan in LBFAD was so good here I was impressed ,my only complain is Esther Yu.
I don't have anything against her it's just that she'd gone bananas overboard with the CUTE act..I mean c'mon gal you're cute already.... she doesn't need to slap and forcefully convince us that she has an overload of her supposedly cuteness that borders on being cringey and ended up being fake ,artificial and just too much annoying to me...she should have tempered and should have known when to limit or stop being overly cute especially in certain scenes in LBFAD.
So all of u don't know that there is a scene left and they didn't release it.If u are a person who always watch the series and watch the updated news about this series u will know that at the end they both meet again and kiss and that scene was leak on internet.I even found it on Instagram and there is also a rumour(I am not very sure but many pages who uploaded immortal samsara post it)the last scene will release in 7september.
So u are writing an article about a drama after only watch two episode. Am I correct?And then judge the whole thing.Well,for me as a person who watch from first to last esposide and not missing a single episode even know which episode is good and in which their acting needed and their acting was good and you only watch two episode and judging Wow.And then write about the fans go crazy and disappointed because of the ending.To be honest I feel sad and angry because I already see the scene where they both meet again and (yes this was not in their dream which show in the early eposide) they didn't add the scene that what I angry about.But u not even watch the whole series and writing an article about that well I think that was not good.
He had to die for three reasons. The resurrected clansmen will also disappear at the same time if he died, and the Three Realms would be safe. He loves the common people, so he does not allow himself to be the possibility of harming the common people. He was worried that he would lose control and kill Yan Dan again
For me the 1st to 20th episodes were amazing but when they were in mortal realm it became dull and lousy already and it dragging so it will just reached more episodes. I like Yang Zi just came from the oath of love she's so amazing there and i love the story. Love like galaxy is sooo amazing Wu Lei and Zhao Lusi are the best and love their chemistry must watch 👌
That bc of that bed climbing bitch....
me too I really really like LOVE LIKE THE GALAXY...Leo Wu and Zhao Lusi were so great in it even their "Ooohlala!"CHEMISTRY are LIT and heavenly LEGIT...love them two so much and this drama is the best for me!
sadly for IMMORTAL SAMSARA for me it had so much an ASHES OF LOVE and LOVE AND REDEMPTION atmosphere and vibes to me...or is it me only thinking this? ...or maybe because LOVE AND REDEMPTION and ASHES OF LOVE series were so dear to me that I can't unsee CY and YZ characters...
and If only LOVE BETWEEN FAIRY AND DEVIL didn't broadcast same as IMMORTAL SAMSARA , 'çause I can't help but like and prefer LBFAD so much more so than IS.
Everything Yang Zi is in sells? You sure? Ratings were awful, especially considering the amount of money invested. There were no hits this summer, as per Datawin so it's useless to try and push this. It was a bad show from start to finish and Yang Zi was bad in it. CY was better but the poor guy sure suffered abuse for it. Smh
Shut up, Dougan release a statement that most of them are fake reviews
