Immortal Samsara

Some wrote a very biased review because of their favorite LBFAD which also occupies the same timeslot as Immortal samsara. (Of course, a competitor fan indeed!) As a fan of both series, Immortal Samsara is worthy of watching too. It perfectly portrays the elements of a xianxia drama. I can see the hardwork and effort of the cast as well as the entire production team. Give it also a chance so you will see the beauty of the series. I hope they will also win a lot of awards for their hardwork. I truly believe that the cast and the entire production team deserves an award too. I rarely finish a drama but when I do I will stick and be addicted to it like a gum. I'm starting to shift from LBFAD to IS..hahaha.

This is the only drama with no filler episodes.. I enjoy watching the entire show.. There is a sense, flow, and the story is well written. Usually the mortal realm part is boring but in this drama, I enjoy watching it.

I believe the people who gave this series a negative biased review are the fans of the previous CP of the leads in their previous projects, fan of other "competitor dramas", or basher of the leads. I know it because I'm like that too in the past but now I become maturer and respectful of other peoples hardwork.

I pray Cheng Yi and Yang Zi will have a third collaboration as the leads in the near future...Fighting!

Immortal Samsara is such a GORGEOUS, romantic, magical, fantasy Xianxia show! Love love the Hanfu (Traditional Chinese Clothing) costume, and the beautiful cast - especially Cheng Yi, Yang Zi, Meng Ziyi, and Li Xinze! The traditional Chinese heaven palaces and places are well, heavenly, and the special effects are STUNNING.

If you love Ashes of Love or Love and Redemption, you will love this show!

You can find this show on Youku (advanced viewing) and Youtube. You should definitely watch it! :)

At first, I was a little bit surprised to see the rating of 'Immortal Samsara' got in IMDb. Knowing that it had been on my watch-list for quite sometime, I was so ready to watch it anytime soon. Yet, seeing the low rating made me postpone watching it. It was disheartening to see 'Immortal Samsara' did not get proper recognition in China. As an international fan and a big fan of Cheng Yi and Yang Zi, it was quite sad to see they did not get what they deserved.

A few days ago, I could not wait any longer, so I started watching it when I had free time. I really wanted to know what made some people did not enjoy or appreciate this drama series. Frankly speaking, I enjoyed a few episodes in the beginning as it was very funny to see how the two main characters, Yin Yuan and Yan Dan, played by Cheng Yi and Yang Zi, always had things to bicker about. For those who had watched Cheng Yi in 'Love and Redemption' and Yang Zi in 'Ashes of Love' would probably think 'Immortal Samsara' as the combination of those two, and I must admit I felt it too. However, it did not stop me from enjoying it and see how things would end. So, if any of you have a plan to watch it, my suggestion is please do not read any reviews of it beforehand.

I was not sorry at all for spending my time watching this amazing series, with total of 59 episodes and 2 special episodes of 7-8 minutes each, I felt very excited as well as blessed for being able to witness Cheng Yi and Yang Zi's beautiful chemistry and fantastic acting. Superb! Great work!

Immortal Samsara is the best xianxia fantasy drama ever. If you like Love and Redemption and Ashes of Love, you will love this drama. The drama starts out slow, but it gets really addicting from episode 6. Cheng Yi and Yang Zi's acting in this drama are outstanding. I'm so blown away by how well they portray their characters, I can feel the pains that they're going through and they have amazing chemistry. They are the best male and female lead duo. Cheng Yi was born to play an immortal deity who gives it all up for love and ends up being hurt by it. I can already imagine those tear-filled scenes.

This is the first c drama that actually moves me as much as Ashes of Love ( I miss Deng Lun so much!) It gives me the same vibe a d you can tell the quality of the production.

The Effects are basically exceptional, one of the best i have seen in c dramas, and also the fight choreography is great, although its more about supernatural powers rather than actual fighting but it is very enjoyable because it doesn't look fake at all.

The script os also very original and unique and it is not predictable whatsoever. The stories and characters keep surprising you and the amount of twists keeps you hooked.

It is quite an emotional story and I am not going to deny it, I found myself invested emotionally many times! I felt the love, the anger, the frustration, the the tenderness.... All their feelings of friendship, lovers, family and of course enemies.

I liked the acting too! I have watched a few dramas of the main characters and I have enjoyed them a lot, this one didn't disappoint either.

I have to mention the Costumes, makeup, hair pieces and hairstyles are very beautiful too, and of course the photography and scenery of the world they have created is fantastic.

All round is a 10, the only thing I felt was rushed was the ending. I have the feeling the ending was going to be the episode 59 but they regretted it and they made a quick fix with the two short specials to change it.

I'm not complaining but felt lacking on details and depth. Other than that, perfect.

Watch it!
