Um...A Drama DOES NOT WORK On Any Level... Love You 7 Times [CC] 

just finished this series and I loved it, I took it as a light-hearted pretty fantasy drama without trying to look too much into it. it was very colourful, pretty and fun, it was a surface level drama. this is the kinda drama you wanna watch when you can't be bothered watching a drama drama.

I'm enjoying the drama so far. I actually like the colorfullness in the Heavenly Realm and the costume to jewelry is nice. The storyline is somewhat different where two main leads slowly falling in love while going through their love trials in the mortal realm. I actually kinda like the storyline. The casting is okay not too bad. Actress Yang Chao Yue's acting is much better in this drama. She is improving as an actress.

As a huge fan of LBFAD myself, I'm still really enjoying Love You Seven Times. The concept is very novel - I mean, it has almost every single xianxia trope I love in there: soulmates, red thread of fate (!!), secret past relationship, mortal love tribulations, not-so-innocent Heavenly realm, not-so-evil Demon realm, etc. I really believe anyone who enjoyed LBFAD will be able to enjoy this drama. Plus, it doesn't hurt that Ding Yuxi is one of the prettiest men out there. I really hope he gets his breakout role soon - he deserves more success. His performance in Episode 12 was outstanding. I haven't heard of Yang Chaoyue before this drama but she seems to be doing just fine. They're both very pretty and the chemistry is great. Plus, obviously, the set design and costuming is amazing - as expected from Stellar. I'm seeing and hearing a lot of critique for this show and some of it is valid. But I do believe that had this show been aired before LBFAD, it would've done a lot better. LBFAD has raised the standards for xianxia dramas (and we love that for the genre!) but we can't expect every new upcoming xianxia to live up to that hype.

Love you Seven Times was really good! All actors did an amazing job and the two leads had a strong bond. Each series had important points and I was entertained the whole time. 👏 ❤

This is a very light drama so far. Lots of hilarious scenes. I'm liking it.

Simply, Love between Fairy and Devil had set the bar too high. Nothing recently can come close to it!

Sometimes we just need to sit down and enjoy the drama without sitting to criticize it or judge it from beforehand. Of course my comment is not directed to you, you are a critic but to anyone who's doubting, give this drama a chance. I absolutely loved it & personally enjoying it better than a lot of high rated dramas

Im sorry but after a year in kdramas and cdramas im totally in love with this one... Like i dont even care about the casting (exept for the elder bro of the ml -hes kinda weird to me-) and the script is getting so much better after those few first episodes. To be honest I started watching this drama bc I it was the only cdrama on a budget that I could find and didnt watch already, so I was like "okay imma suffer thru few episodes, if it wont get any better imma change the channel" but after 29 episodes I can tell you that this drama is better than Love Between Fairy and Devil, at least in my book it did waaaay better in going thru with the story giving few pieces along the way and if theyll keep it up till the end (I hated the end of LBFaD) I will be going back to this drama just to rewatch it over again. And I dont agree with you on there being too much of colours, I loved the variety of different colours you can see on the main female. Plus the said characters that are important to the story have so much more screen time and their own stories after those 14 episodes. There are 38 episodes packed and stacked with informations and everything if you would include everybodys stories they would have to make this cdrama over 50 episodes long. Characters get as much screen time as they are relevant to the story. As the saying goes dont judge book by its cover.

To me Mysterious lotus casebook is the best drama I have ever watched. Profound and thoughtful. Funny yet … Beyond words

I LOVE Love You Seven Times! Ding Yuxi's acting is so good as always

Mysterious Lotus Casebook was hands down the best drama of the year for me so far. I don't think I've been this obsessed since Word of Honor. Drama-wise, it was in fact better than WoH. And for a drama that is not written, produced or marketed as a danmei, it has a lot of "censored danmei" vibes... which for me is a good thing. And if you're not into that, this drama is simply a cracking banger of a drama that you will enjoy anyway. The humour, the characters, the acting, the pacing, the writiing, the plot... there are no draggy parts, it's just consistently exciting and good all the way to the end.

Guys if u haven't watched Mysterious Lotus Casebook then you are probably missing something...for me soo far the best drama of 2023 The actors were terrific in their respective roles, the plot specially the twists in the end were terrific and tge fight scenes OMG the main leads were soo good with wireworks🔥🔥

😅 I remember one of your critiques of xianxia drama is that the gods should look differently at love than mortals ( which I agreed). The gods in this drama treated the love tribulations as a daytime soap or guilty pleasure and I see it as a refreshing take on this. The main people in these love tribulations treat it as chores they need to get it done, which is also a different take on it too. I am enjoying it and I think the FL actress is doing a fine job. What’s happening to them right now, seems to be out of hand. People should enjoy it for it is, a romance comedy full of tropes, and don’t expect a great masterpiece from it.

I'm glad that a lot people here have watched the LYST and loved the drama. if you don't like it maybe the problem is you, maybe you just need to relax and enjoy the drama without the need to criticize or judge it.

I cried so much when Yang Chao Yue's character died in their first life. But when they returned to heaven after, the emotion of their future deaths just disappeared. Why should I get sad when they are just going to come back? 😂

I am actually like it. Mb bcs I didn't read the book. The costumes and decorations and overall filming r just too pretty to skip.

BEST 2023: Stay with me, Mysterious lotus casebook and Lost You forever! ❤❤❤❤❤

Unpopular opinion: one should not have to get to ep 10 or 12 for a show to get good. If by ep 5-6 my attention is not grabbed, the story telling didn't do a good job.

Mysterious Lotus Casebook is great fun; Cheng Yi is wonderful as LL/LX and the fight scenes are pretty good. I watched every minute of Lost You Forever which is unusual for me - I didn't ff once. These two are the best dramas of the summer imo. Chinese audiences are not always fair; ep 30 of LYF was weak, and ep 36 was too much talk, but the other 37 eps made up for these weak spots.

So far Mysterious lotus casebook is the only GOOD drama this summer imo! Good acting, good written charachters, good overall script it's really is the best one so far... I also heard that Lost you forever is good but i haven't watched it yet

Mysterius Lotus Casebook is the best wuxia drama for 2023

I feel that the actors and actresses in this drama except FL actually do really well. The FL is not actually bad, but she's only doing average at best. Her acting can use some improvements. Her acting cute is fine, but her sad and dignified acting needs more honing. Her emotions hardly conveyed to the audiences. I can hear her crying but I can't see the sadness in that face. You can see the difference between her and Ryan Ding or that Xing Zhi who even only with red eyes already enough to tell us what they're feeling deep in their hearts.

my fav summer drama now is Mystrious Lotus Casebook. the drama is fun like the interraction among the leads, how they solved case is fun, but they have great fighting scene too

you could try Mysterious Lotus Casebook (Lian Hua Lou), I was impressed by everything, for me it's the best drama this summer (some BL hints, really interesting)

Liking this drama so far. They got those first 2 lifetimes just right imo.

Have you watched Mysterious Lotus Casebook? I am very picky about dramas (since so many crappy ones get released each year), but this one is def one of the top tier ones in terms of writing, acting, everything.

Lost You Forever is definitely the better period idol drama. I love it as much as Cang Lan Jue!

I really love the coral-like accessories in their hair, it’s just damn gorgeous tbh :3

Why do people say the FM lead is bad at acting? She is a great job and so beautiful. Her beauty is beyond compare. She has the classic beauty with a mixture of youth, innocent, yet an aura of wealth and elegant. Are people jealous or something?

I'm enjoying this, a lot of funny lines from support characters. If it the best out there, no however, sometimes one needs to not over think everything they see and just enjoy when they need to escape into fantasy.

I ABSOLUTELY love this drama. I read the novel Love You Seven Times so I already knew the plot somewhat and what to expect, but I adore the fact that they add new details and characters to the drama - makes it unique on its own. Fun to watch - despite some minor illogical details here and there. I laughed and cried so much.

I don't know if its just me but I don't like any dramas with this female actor

I think no dramas can compare to the success of Love Between Fairy and Devil and Dylan Wang this summer. 💜💜💜

Maam just finished the drama.....personally really liked it. Just give the time to story to cath up. And all the plot does makes sense

Is there a reason you're not reviewing Mysterious Lotus Casebook? It's like the highest rated drama on iQiyi this YEAR. It's a bit weird you've barely mentioned it lol

Mysterious Lotus Case is best drama 23. Other drama i can fast fwd 😂

He looks so good as the Cat Demon character. 😻😻😻 Probably my fav costume of his in this drama.

The drama is amazing. I even join YOUKU to watch it from Australia. I love it.

Something I don't think you touched on is that this drama will have to be VERY careful with its time distribution to even finish successfully. The first lifetime does have purpose in setting up the couple's symbolism of the pig and tiger, but its VERY short and its clear that the drama invested more time in the second and third lifetimes. So thats three lifetimes we're down to and its almost more than halfway through the drama, so we have 4 lifetimes left plus the heavenly realm's shenanigans. So while I've been enjoying my ride through this drama so far, to find out its only 38 eps has me a little worried ngl

I like this drama, I find it a lot of fun

I'm on episode 16 of Love You Seven Times and I'm enjoying it. The same thing happened with TTEOTM.

Have you watching Mysterious lotus casebook?can you review in that drama?I just curious for your point of view on that drama.

The love I have for love you seven times is unexplainable, I hardly go back to dramas but I casually go back to love you seven times

I avoid practically everything with this FL...however Ryan did very good , finally he looks like a grown up man and not like a baby.

I like drama I am Enjoying drama if don't like drama don't watch then why are saying this not good I like Yang choyue acting also

Oh my god, yes! I tried to give this drama a chance but the writing is just baffling. The contrast with Lost You Forever couldn't be more stark.

Gosh. I dont know if I can dislike anything with Ding Yu xi. He is my period piece actor of romance drama. Just watched Twin flowers and Tiger and Rose again. 1/17: i finally watched until ep 23, its bad. Ding yuxi tried its almost so sad watching. I plan to finish it, but the face of fl is no expression almost dead.

ohh...love you seven times is my favourite drama..really i like the colorfullness of this drama and the actor's and actress's costume is very good..i love this drama type..actually this drama is very good...and the drama lovers must watch this drama, they musn't miss this drama...ding yuxi's and yang chaoyue's acting is perfect too..they are so match for this drama..if there anyone that they didn't watch this drama as i think they are very unlucky...and there is nothing to say a bad thing about this drama... this drama is my favourite drama forever

Please watch and review 莲花楼！I was watching Mysterious Lotus Casebook, Lost You Forever, and Legend of Anle at the same time. The only drama that had me continue watching till the end was MLC!

I literally just created an account so I could comment on this video and disagree with you. You can tell everyone who worked on this drama put a lot of effort into it. Especially Ding Yuxi was fantastic at every iteration of their lives, he had a new interpretation of the character. It was my first time watching him and I'm so impressed. Not to mention the scene you said youd be surprised anyone would have any emotion for (the death scene at the end of the second tribulation) was filmed painstakingly over 2 days. Ding Yuxi really brought me into that scene that could have come off boring, but his emotional investment was phenomenal. I'm so impressed. You should watch this drama to the end if youre going to provide reviews like this, its really unfair to the staff who put in so much work and effort.

Kind of unrelated but curious if we gonna see a review for Mysterious Lotus Casebook from you.

I have now watched LY7T up to 28. I must say that the story improved after episode 20 so I am glad that I didn't give up. The story is more complicated then I originally thought so I am quite satisfied with the turn of events. For those who gave it up early, do give it another chance.

I think Mysterious Lotus Casebook is the best so far this year and I am not even a fan of any of the 3 MLs, their rapport with each other was excellent. I sort of half agree with you on Love you 7 times. I loved the first life they had as a pig and tiger cub, it was so unexpected and cute so it got my hopes up. The second life was as expected but I did cry at the death scene. After that I watched Love between Fairy and Devil again for the third time. You are right about the casting and storyline of LY7T, they are a far cry from LBFAD. I have watched 18 episodes and if it keeps going with rinse and repeat lifetimes then I will give it up. I have given up on so many already because the FLs aren't cast right in my opinion. I didn't like the FL actresses in Unchained Love, Long Promise, Journey of Chongzi. You are also right about Simon Gong. He was great in Word of Honour but disappointing in everything I have seen him in since. Legend of Anle is also on my try to finish list.

I am a fan of the book. But I'm also a fan of the actor and actress. The drama is fun, fresh. It makes you laugh as well as cry. I understand that they need more "contents" to make the drama so of course they can't completely follow the story of the book. So instead of judging and hating, please enjoy the drama. It's pretty well made. Give yourself a chance to be happy, instead of being miserable because something isn't the way you expect it to be. I only came here to leave this comment, also give this video a thump down and I don't give a F* of what you have to say. Your opinion is not everyone, so save everybody some wasting and don't post this kind of negative content anymore. Seriously if you could spread hate about something, I'm willing to do the same thing on your youtube channel.

My nominee for a summer drama that has made a big splash is "Stay With Me".

the novel has so much potential imho. but i think it was too short to be made into a drama so i understand why they change so much. but still:"

THE MOVIE IS A MASTERPIECE PERIOD!

You were literally the one who said you were tired of the white clothing from xianxia dramas but now that it’s colorful you don’t like it .😂

I see that people who read the story are very disappointed, and I hate when that happens. But as someone who didn't read it I am enjoying it. I feel like we are watching the same drama, but two different adaptations because I have never disagreed with you more. First of all average? I'm not crushing on the secondary character men, but with the exception of her script writing best friend who isn't supposed to be hot,they are all incredibly good looking men. The first life as animals was a complete mistake, they tripped and fell. They both had their memories intact. The second life she wanted her memories because she thought he hates her and she wanted to be careful to not piss him off for when they got back to the heavens. But she did get caught up in her mortal life, she did get attached to everyone, and there were consequences when she went back to heaven. She fell in love with the mortal version of him and truly mourned the loss. Now in their third life she has no memories and he does. His plan was to be in control, and ooops he's falling for her. I'm sure the next life they'll both either drink the amnesia water and sparks will fly. I actually like that they view the time in the mortal realm as a means to an end. Because the truth is that's what it is in most of the drama's that use that plot device. It's like if I played the Sims with someone and then held what happened in the game against them later on. It's not real life for them, they go to get power. I also liked the reveal that it may not be real, but their real personalities always shine through. So it's making the lead suspicious of his "friends". Which is a nice change. Instead of them being blind until they literally get stabbed in the back, the lead is seeing how their friends actually operates under pressure and it's making him reevaluate his friendships in his reality. Is the drama flawed? Absolutely. The power exchange causing her a loss during the trials is a huge plot hole, and whoever added that (because I heard it was not in the "book") needs to be slapped because it's beyond dumb. Most of the drama is very light hearted, and there are so many funny moments. I am not a fan of the FL but she's doing a good job, and the ML is killing it as always. I also like the side characters. His shady best friend, the spoiled princess, the rock who actually has a personality and isn't totally naive, her teacher who won't tell her her origin story, her idiot bestie. I am curious to see what is really up with the bad guys and if the King of the heavens is actually shady. The coloring doesn't bother me. It's cartoonish, but so is the story. It's a turn brain off and enjoy a complete and utter fantasy drama.

I dont know why real actresses in cdramas are placed in supporting roles and those who are novice or still with awkward acting gets the lead which most of the time destroys the quality of the drama no matter how good the story is. In kdramas, the leads may look average sometimes but they make their roles as true to life and relatable as possible or simply good acting is always a prerequisite.

I actually enjoyed the drama even though they changed A LOT from the novel. There are parts from the novel that I wished they kept in the drama. Both main leads got chemistry and FL is definitely better here than the previous drama where I've watched her. Atleast it was HE though.

Folks, the drama is amazing. It is very fun and great story. Yes, it is not exactly like the book but you have the benefits of both. Again, don’t be bias or listen to someone opinions.

trying too hard ? too much colors ? i think You Are trying too hard criticising this drama, it was quiet good and the acting of both the main actors was on point with a perfect chemistry, sure the writing could had slightly been better but i wouldn't blade the "acting" of any of the leads, 7.5/10 worth watching

Currently watching this drama it's good to watch

For my sanity I'll hold from watching this review since I'm loviiiiing this drama but easily swayed by opinions haha.

i'm currently chasing this drama. it's not good but it's not that bad. for me it's still watchable. it's just that the drama has no spark if that makes sense. watch this if you got too much time on your hands, because it's quite funny.

I totally agree with all of the comments you just said, but I am still watching it anyway for Ding Yuxi

The director and script writer did a bad job for this drama. 😢😢

I quite liked the novel and this was on my to-watch list. So it was disappointing to hear that the drama adaptation was not good

I don't those heart wretching drama that you have to deeply feel the sadness to remember that significant scene. I think this drama is full of hopes and love without torture. It's actually one of very few series that doesn't bore me. Instead of one significant scene to remember, I love that it has so many sub-stories to catch revive my attention. The fact that ML and FL has memory in 2nd and 3rd life is also useful in my opinion, because, it give them oppotunity to reflect how they truely feel about the other side. (They think they don't love the other one but they still can't resist to save the other one despite knowing it's all just a game.) at the same time, they get to observe how the other one love and treat them so well purely and innocently without memory.

The Untamed had set the bar high for me. I can't think about anything anymore. 😏😤

Young Blood 2 is the only costume drama I’m watching. Although there are some problems with the direction and post production work, but the script, action and acting save the day. And the last couple of episodes plus the finale are simply epic. I like the way there’s a post credit scene on the final episode that soothe the emotion of the fans.

The novel for this drama is one of the sweetest, heightened emotions Xianxia novel you can read! It's a story that has a very comedic overall tone but will also hit you with gut-wrenching scenes. It's not tropey at all in fact it is almost sarcastic (makes fun of the tropes). The drama is sadly disappointing, not to mention they changed so much. I urge everyone to please give the novel a try and not to let the drama ruin your perception of the original novel.

I have kind of a like-hate relationship going on with this drama. Things I like things I hate and then in between there is some enjoyment.The very first thing that is on my list that grates me ycy's dialogue delivery. It is not good especially for a costume drama. Second would be the added character of that prince who is always there grabbing screen time ruining things. Things I like is Ding Yuxi, also I do very much like the beautiful styling.

I have read the novel of qishijixiang and i have seen the drama. I LOVE BOTH. the drama is that kind of slow burn that you'll have to reach a certain episode to fully like it. If you have gone past episode 20 you will know what i mean. to each his own ig

I personally love this drama compared to "devil and fairy." "devil and fairy" failed in the action department. "love you seven times" succeed in the action department. I'm a hard-core wuxia and the fight scenes are to my standards. it also has more comedy. in other categories, I rate both dramas the same.

Wow we are same review of this drama 😂 im bored too to watch next episode, im hooked to Lost you forever!!

NOOO I FREAKING ADORED IT (and found a new actor I was previously unaware of to keep an eye out for 👀 lol), especially like the first 70% or so (towards the end I did feel like I liked it less/it was rushing to end? Something like that, I liked each tribulation less than the last: overall chu Kong is the bestest boy ❤ followed by Lu Chan Kong, then the sect master etc etc, each iteration was less loveable than the last, imho); but I haven’t obsessively binged anything THIS MUCH (finished it all in like 3 days 😂) in a while!! (And I cried A LOT 😭 LMFAO)…the closest I got to binging a drama that religiously as of late was probably Who Rules the World (I have yet to finish it though, in comparison; it’s good, just saying I didn’t complete it like my life was on the line lol; I binged like the first half then took a break, eventually went back for a few more episodes…will finish it eventually 😂 currently binging Back From the Brink, almost done lol 7 more episodes left after binging nonstop once again for like two days lol and before that Dream of a Twin Flower (have a few episodes left of that, it got shelved until I complete BFTB for now lol)); IT IS ALSO BEAUTIFUL TO LOOK AT, haven’t seen costumes (and environments too, but ESPECIALLY the costume designs, and the wigs looked so natural and good!! As compared to the usual frizz or more fake look I’m used to seeing in dramas) that look THAT GOOD probably like EVER!! (May be a slight exaggeration lol but definitely one of the most beautiful dramas I’ve ever seen looks-wise) ❤ the costume designer deserves a raise, especially for the outfits of the lead pair (and ESPECIALLY for Kong kong’s heavenly outfit 😍😍)

The MAIN reason I'm not watching this drama, is due to the FL Yang Chaoyue. I've seen drama's with her and she just isn't Actress material to me. She seems to fall short in her character, facial expressions .. pretty much everything. I don't' know if they are having her act with these more upper class actors to boost her reputation... but in order for that reputation to flourish ... she needs to show it with her choice of career and that's acting. Which in my personal opinion, she needs to return to the acting academy. Plus I saw the trailer and that indeed showed that it would be a waste.... pretty sad.

AvenueX please make an impression video on Mysterious Lotus Casebook...It definately deserves it

You watched 14 episodes and you just Cant give judgement like that we don't need your recommendation for this drama we can watch of our own sorry for impoliteness but I will say you don't have taste if you don't want to see then don't see we don't care but you can't judge this before you complete this drama

Wow thiis is the second time that i disagree with your review, the first one was your review of HiddenLove. This drama quench my thirst of watching a good c drama with right chemistry between the 2 main leads.

As an international fan, I can only say that it's been a pleasure to watch Love You Seven Times. I've seen countless films and series and dramas, I've read many reviews about the most varied cultural objects, all of them with the following characteristics: description of the object to be criticized (a film, a series, a drama, a book all completely viewed and completed) then presenting the negative and positive reviews, centered on that object, without comparisons. I don't see anyone as a pseudo god of criticism, whose word is the absolute truth. Therefore, I will continue to watch dramas that awaken in me some aesthetic and emotional sensibility, that are impressive. Then I will be prepared to read different points of view and add this other points of view.

Please review Mysterious Lotus Casebook!

Currently watching this drama and Legend of Zhuohua. I like Legend of Zhuohua better. Love You 7 Times is getting better. Things are starting to make sense.

Lol. I have the time to watch it, although I acknowledge it's not LBFAD. I like our LM's costumes.

I love watching your reviews! Sometimes when I watch several dramas over the same period, I will jot down short notes to keep character names straight. I have only watched 8 episodes of Love You Seven Times, but the last comment that I wrote was, "Very Boring."

While i do kinda agree with smthings you said ..i cant believe u called them averagee😂..like howw besides the 2 mcs there ws the prince, the twins and the stone heart guy...how r theyy averagee😭😭

I watch and enjoying so far.... it's still fun to watch although the casts is not so visual. I've also finished watching MLC and LYF S1. I love watching xianxia/wuxia genre compared to contemporary drama which is mostly does not makes any sense. Anyway, thanks for your review although sometimes everyone have their own preference.

Great review but just to update that you should continue because it does get much better after episode 17 when the plot starts moving and the characters gets more built up especially the ml. Great music and outfits..

The animal arc was the last life. They added so much it doesn't even resemble the original novel. 7 lifetimes was meant to be a punishment for having a fight in the matchmaker gods temple and messing up all the strings tying couples together 🤦

guys, the drama is really really good. most of the negative and hateful comments you saw in socmed are usually from haters so don't judge the drama unless you watched more than ep 18 of the drama. Yang Chaoyue is good in this drama, her acting really improve so much, ding yuxi also did a very great job as always, and the chemistry is slaaaaying.🥰 if you like all angst you will surely enjoy this drama.

Love You Seven Times had so much potential, when i read the book, i really thought we could have a drama that was even better. This was a story that would be best translated as a comedy, why would they even try to compare to Reset? The whole they're leaving to the mortal world is actually a punishment they're both enduring, the fact she was always scared of Chu Kong totally killed the personality of ML who at first kept trying to kill him because she remembered him? If they wanted to change something, they should have used their last lifes.

Thats too bad - you were hopeful about this one. And hence was I. I wish there was something good to watch this summer!!!

''walking on the chongqing's street, you can easily spot people on the street looking better than these actors '' got me!!😂

I like the drama and the story, clothes etc

Another idol drama... I really have to look for the non-idol drama list somewhere. Are they iexist? xD

I think lost you forever is pretty good so far it's just that the director and the script writers messed it up by changing some scenes from the novel. Lost you forever worth it, trust me you guys

I like Ding Yuxi a lot and I hate that he's had such crappy luck with dramas. Really hoping his next project with Yu Shuxin will hit big and give him better resources

Probably first time I strongly disagree with you on your review. 😂 maybe going through a Xianxia drama without much assumptions would help you make your review slightly more balanced. It indeed a lot of issue such but overall I find most life times well written, they are all unique in its nature and serves a purpose to move story forward. Something that was mentioned in 1st life become suddenly significant in later lives. There was little repetition and interesting supporting characters too. Although the ending was a bit predictable, overall I really enjoyed it. ❤ people who enjoy Xianxia should give it a go!
