Wow, this is such a wild start for xianxia C-drama Love Game in Eastern Fantasy with Yu Shu Xin and Ding Yu Xi. The first Douban ratings are out and it’s a very high 7.5, higher even than the actual rating considering it’s a xianxia drama and the genre usually scores lower than traditional period works. For comparison, Yu Shu Xin’s summer 2022 hit Love Between Devil and Fairy with insanely positive word of mouth and is considering close to an explosive hit for the genre now sits at 8.2 on Douban even two years later, while Ding Yu Xi trying to do the same with Love You Seven Times (same writer as the Devil Fairy novel) fared poorly and the drama has 6.2 on Douban. This is great news for Love Game and can only help the drama more to start off so strong. And for those likely to ask, same day premiered Tang dynasty C-drama The Story of Pearl Girl does not yet have its Douban rating out.

Oh that is a good opening and they must be confident about it.
I am enjoying it very much.
I'm glad it's doing well.
I started watching it after a huge bunch of people praised so I must say that I'm hooked in totally. I'm loving it too much so far. It does help the fact that so much stuff are stuff I enjoy in other dramas I've watched before including one my favorite animes Inu Yasha.
I bought WeTv's 1 month subscription and the drama's express package.
Congrats to the cast and crew! Hope they can keep it up. Glad they're going with 32 episodes instead of the usual 40.
Wow! Congrats to the crew. Been a while since I've been addicted to a long show since AJTL. Love how all the main characters get along and there's no rivalry between them. I'm really happy things are going well for Ding Yuxi. He deserves it!
The production reminds me of LBDAF. Please finish strong.
It is reminiscent of the original Chinese Paladin too, with touching stories and fitting OSTs. I'm going to keep an eye on the future works of this drama's director and producers, they are very good at crafting the scenes.
Aw should I give a shot again? I read good words about the drama. But the genre is really not my thingy and Esther's voice/visuals....sigh. I like the ML though. He can act.
her voice and visuals actually suit the role. And I noticed that she subtly lowers her tone and softens it a bit so it is not as grating but still a little nasally at times but much better. The comedy and heart is so addicting though. Keeps you in anticipation and episodes buzz by so quick that it leaves you wanting more. Not sure if we will get a well executed ending but for now it is so good.
How many episodes did you try? I did read a comment somewhere that they thought it was nothing special the first 1-6 episodes but it picked up for them after 7. I liked it from episode 1 though, so maybe don’t trust me 😂. I prefer happier dramas that are low stress most of the time. You seem like grittier and more complex characters so it might just not be for you, which is fine too.
It's been cute and pretty heartwarming. I'm liking it more now that the ML has softened to her. Haha
Deserved, I like it from ep1, the comedic timing and heartwarming scene in between. Hoping for Happy and satisfying ending for later.
