    I think a lot of xianxia drama fans, mostly watch it because they want the stereotypical plot lines. Anything new is just a cherry on top, but people just want to see these star crossed love stories, all these lifetime and reincarnations and pining for love. And I think most importantly, people want to see the male leads spit up blood and get jealous! Lol! At least that’s the gist I’ve gotten over the past few years.

Crying is natural for all people and men crying is ok.. do you grow up being told that crying is not for boys? Anyways, the dramas plot is quite sad and angsty, hence why he cries multiple times but then again his character is a cold guy so when he cries it shows the weight of the situation

    I love this drama, The storyline is fast but smooth. The story is interesting and some scenes had mesmerized me. The cinematography is superb. I love all the characters. The acting of all actors are also super, they fit for each of the character. Xu Kai is very handsome and charming in Xianxia costume. I love every aspect of this c-drama.
    I have watched so many c-drama and many of them are too draggy. I often skip some scenes. But watching this, I never skip any part of the drama. I watched every second attentively. The story is really interesting and captivating.

    I think it’s unfair review. My opinion it’s best 2021 cdramas. I have enjoyed watching it, you said it’s too boring. Because of Similar to other dramas! in this era its very hard not find similarities between dramas. I have found some unique in this drama. I liked the female lead she doesn’t ’ exaggerating her acting it’s normal. the character she is weak and strong which she did it good job. What i have found this drama is doesn’t have a many plot twisting you don’t bother guessing next scene it’s like a story telling, if you flow the story line definitely you will enjoy watching. You compared some other dramas if pay attention its way different than dramas so far in first half. If you mean the demons and tribulations etc that is a fantasy world not the story.

    I don't watch many c dramas as they don't attract me much. But this one was one of the best to me. The actor, actress playing different roles than usual shows that how good as an artist they are. Don't know about the novel, but I loved the way both of the leads have portrayed their characters. U can see the character development & change in acting & their styles based on story progression. The musics r so good. Some points seemed so natural to me- like waking up from sleep after a dream. These small things really made the drama beautiful.

    I think what really sets this drama apart from other xian xia (花千骨, 三生三世 etc) is the strong female lead! I really enjoy how she was the one to kabedon the male love interest and say she’d take him as her bride while discussing what bridal gifts to give him lol. The reason why I enjoyed reading the peach blossom novel is since the lead was similarly strong but then the drama version cast yang mi… who is as girly as all the other xian xia drama female leads and so the character lost her charm. I think the relationship dynamic in Ancient Love Poetry is pretty rare and interesting.

I don’t think anyone could have exuded such class, power and kindness at the same time. Xu Kai did an AMAZING job with his character as well. The fact that Boxuan Bai Jue and Qingmu feel like different people just shows how much of a great actor he is. Generally I feel all the actors really understood the assignment. All the gods and even her friend Yuemi

    I’m on ep. 20 and I am still enjoying ALP. I don’t think there was a miscast, as I compared them to the drawings I saw I online. The actors and actress did a pretty good job. What I think is wrong is the storytelling. The series of events are happening in a linear fashion. If I was to re-edit the story, I will start with the story of Qingmu and Houchi. And create a storyline where they both come to learn about their past, redemption and move forward. I think starting the story at the beginning took away an important aspect of character development. I also think the characters fall in love to fast, their are no motivations into how they fall in love, just leaving it up to fate just was not convincing enough. But I will continue tread on as I absolutely love Xu Kai.

She also used clones to downvote the original BL book and upvote her book. Eventually, the mod of the forum tracked down those clones and their IP all led to one person.

    I'm new to the Chinese drama world especially the Xianxia genre, and that is the reason why I don't mind the tropey scenes so much. The plot is like a paraphrased version of different xianxia dramas, (Ten Miles and Pillow Book) that again, I don't mind. I watched Ancient Love Poetry not for the cast or the plot but for the CGI. There are tons of xianxia or even wuxia dramas out there that I don't want to watch because of the production set ( Miss the Dragon). Although I'm new, I can say that there are dramas with less than desirable CGI, that's why I'm so fascinated with ALP because it is an eye candy. Wish they could've added more color and diversity to their wardrobe though and for goodness sake, bring out all the fancy and elaborate jewelry, they're gods, they must be filthy rich.

    The youtuber Asian Drama News reported that people were unfairly giving it bad reviews on Douban (i hope i spelled that right) so much so that it even bleed over to the international audience doing it on My Drama List. In the reviews people were calling Xukai fat and the female lead ugly. Asian Drama News never said why they were flooding it with bad reviews but now i know it's the book readers.
    Book readers get on my damn nerves. They always do stuff like this. They don't like the way an adaptation turns out so they get upset and do stupid things like attacking the actors in the drama or giving it bad reviews after only watching the first episode so the ratings will drop. One would think these people would know by now that an adaptation is NEVER gonna be perfect and the source material is ALWAYS gonna be better. The adaptation doesn't ruin the source material at all. If you don't like it you can always re-read the damn book. Attacking someone's appearance is dirty, these people should be ashamed of themselves.
    I'm not addressing the people who genuinely wasn't feeling the drama. If you don't like it then you don't like it.

      😂You don't understand the unique situation in China itself. Many TV series producers do not want to restore the things in the book. They don't respect the good points in the book. They do not treat screenwriters preferentially, but focus on praising their own company actors. Filmmaking has become a tool for making money rather than satisfying the audience. This prevailing trend has caused the quality of Chinese film and television to decline year by year. TV series like to copy existing works rather than innovation. This drama is too lazy that they just copy Ten Miles of Peach Blossom dressing style. Inferiority cycle. Thus, the classic works that Chinese people like the best up to now are still from the last century, such as hongloumeng(1987), shendiaoxialv, sanguoyanyi and so on. 😭

    I used to really be swayed by her Review of a drama on whether I would pick it up or not, and most of the time her recomendations are good. But since she recommended Unforgettable Love I have to rethink that, since that drama is so mindnumbingly stupid, cliche and contrived that I wonder whether Ancient Love Poetry isn't so bad after all. After all it has Xu Kai in it and I usually love his performances. On a different note, I think it is kind of unfair of chinese viewers to critizise the stiff acting of the ML and the unconvincingly childish acting of the FL when all the roles for chinese actors are basicallys the same. Cold emotionless ML and dumb, sunny golddigging FL. I mean how can they expect to see range in acting if the characters are basicallys one note and any realistic movement of facial muscle makes the actor run the risk of being called ugly and unperfect by viewers. I mean please have some realistic expectations of the actors and actresses. And start writing nuanced and varied characters. Though I don't think Dramas weren't so repetitive if viewers didnt want to see the same shit over and over again.

    People have been creating gods in the image of humans and our world since antiquity. A perfect example of this is Ancient Greece. Their stories of the rivalry of gods behaving in very human ways and meddling in human affairs inspired one of the greatest epics in history, The Illiad. It has inspired artists not only in antiquity, but also from the Renaissance to the 19th century. Humans have always created their gods in their own image. The kind of “other” conception of immortal beings with impressive powers living in a world not patterned on our own is really the purview of science fiction and fantasy. Rattan had a bit of this, but because the alien beings were by that time part and parcel of the human world and the ecology of the planet, they were forced to interact with it and make their way in the human world. Maybe the success of Rattan will open up productions of more daring science fiction stories. The caveat, as always with Chinese entertainment is whether, or to what extent the censors will allow such stories to be told in the way they should be told.

I love how this show started with showing all the gods with highest power and came in the apprentice and then when catastrophe happened those apprentice were the highest and the gods were the lower than them with interesting twist how remnants of their power is scattered around the lower realm.

Even though the leads go through some difficulties, it's to develop their characters (and their cultivation) and things are often quickly resolved. The relationships the FL has with everyone are great (e.g.: no ridiculous love triangles) and her personality is so endearing, funny, and caring.

    I'm liking it, the only xanxia i seen so far are ten mile of peach blossom and ashes of love, and i think it took a few eps for me to get into them. I didn't see anything wrong with the logic though, shangu was being taught by those gods close to her and they could not help her due to spoiling her, so they ask for an outsider to help her develop her power. From my understanding, the real story won't start until later episodes, this is just an introduction to ml and fl and to establish their relationship. For the casting from novel fl was describes as a young girl, so zdy fit her image well, those who complain are nitpicking cause they don't like zdy look.

I would say this drama had the most epic deaths, even of evil characters. I literally rewatched some death scenes 😁 Great plot, kinda the first time in xianxias when I could partially accept why one character hides truth from another. I am glad I did watch it ✌

    I remember watching the Empress of China some years back and I was amazed by the hair styling in that drama. I know is not a wuxia/xiaxia drama but they had so much imagination with the hair, colors and accessories for that drama. That's the kind of aesthetics I would like to see again. When I think of Gods and heaven's from Chinese culture I think they should be depicted as more flamboyant than average mortals.

I appreciated that the FL didn't look like the typical FL. They also let her ugly cry, which she pulled off brilliantly. The actress was great at making us empathize with her. Xu Kai also surprised me with his range. He played both serious and playful very well.

    I actually disagree with you on this one. Yes, the costumes aren’t as interesting and vibrant, but I think it’s a welcome change from the tacky and overly colourful costumes we’ve been seeing from the rise of Low budget dramas recently. The story can be confusing and a little boring at the beginning, but I find myself enjoying every bit of it later on. Nobody is truly dumb in the drama, everyone plays their character as they are portrayed in the book, the transition from the backstory to the main story could have been better presented but I do think that overall the show has sustained my attention with its amazing CGI and the romance keeps getting better! I am really enjoying it. I also think the backlash from mainland Chinese netizens have been overly harsh and frankly, quite superficial. Criticism about how both actors are ugly or fat faced are completely unwarranted and disrespectful. Love Xu Kai and his portrayal of Bai Jue and the other characters he plays in the drama. I think he really fits the Xian Xia look well. Pleasantly surprised by Zhou Dong Yu as well. She acts well and has an adorable face. Don’t understand why people think she is ugly. Anyway please keep watching and give it a chance! I think you might come to enjoy it more in the later episodes.

    There's nothing else that could make this drama endearing to me. I have never read the novel, and even the actors couldn't make it enjoyable. Hence, it got boring and frustrating to watch.
    Also, it's such an insult for a significant partner to bear everything in secret and decide for you just because he/she thinks you can't handle it. If it's going to involve the life of another person, have the decency to give them the choice whether they want it or not.

    I was looking forward to this when I heard the casting. It's such a random pairing and considering how Dong Yu has previously said in an interview that she would not take on these kind of roles. Either her company wanted her to do, which doesn't really make sense since she shouldn't need to do these kind of roles, or she changed her mind. Everything about this drama is on par with the other xian xia dramas, but CGI is much better. They could have done better styling on the two leads. They're both good looking and could have probably gotten better reception had the styling team was more creative.

But well, I'm a sucker for Xianxia genre and thirsty for another xianxia after LAR so i picked it up again. Turned out the story gets better later and it became my xianxia of 2021! It may be the same plot involving three lives time but i like its unique story line of revealing villains! I saw many people dropping at first few episodes but trust me, the story gets better. And about zhou dongyu, AvenueX's saying of her being not cut out for her xianxia genre. But i love how she portrayed at the peak scene when she's suffering the most! Well over all, even though it might not be as good as Three miles of peach blossom, it's the one for xianxia of 2021!

    Actually this idea of gods/demigods having different priorities to humans is done quite well in Hindu mythology..

Like there is this story about a god(literally taking on the form of a bird) on a river bank who strikes dead 6 of 7 brothers for just drinking at his river bank and proceeds to ask the seventh brother an intellectual quiz where each answer brings back to life each brother as a reward..

Dongyu captures her role perfectly precisely because of her different approach - I completely disagree w your assessment of Xu Kai’s performance. Lastly the costumes are also
    Perfect because their simplicity is like a frame for each character who you can focus on instead of being distracted - the set provides the grandeur and awe. So I had to come back and respond to your review which I respect but completely disagree with.
