The fact that she was able to walk upto the emperor and ignore regular etiquette was my favorite part

[@QuynhNguyen-gp3te]

That was surprising and fun effects tbh.. like I know this is totally not logical but then I enjoyed her character so much! 😂😂 it was a weird feeling but yes one of my favorite as well.. like naturally slowly we just accept her character! This is our Anle

[@littlefairy9696]

So true re the scene where Anle just walks in & behaving so casually when meeting the Emperor for the first time. Her head would be rolling on the floor if this wasn't a drama. 😂

[@AW-xu6es]

I waited for this drama for 2 years. I respect AvenuX’s review because they’re precise. Acting and looks wise she didn’t say they’re bad. It’s all about the production and writing…

[@cirene2143]

Im actually enjoying this drama...and how the chemistry between the main caracters its growing

[@adoremeux]

I respect avenuex's review. She's very precise when it comes to technicalities, so I expected her to be harsh when it came to the CGI and production, and very few on the actors, however that didn't dissuade me from the story. currently only ep 14 of Legend of Anle and I'm really enjoying it. I especially love the dynamic set between the three main leads. I'm going to continue watching because I'm intrigued to find out what's going to happen. I'd day this is my favourite summer drama so far

I've only seen 4 eps so far but I find the FL very refreshing compared to most C-drama FLs. I've dropped so many C-dramas purely because I can't handle weak, silly, naive, clumsy and stupid female lead characters that behave as if they are five years old (or at most ten). If they are not annoying, they are just plain boring. Here we have a FL who is smart, competent, clever, bold, shameless, and a lot of fun to watch. Is it super well written or produced? No. Is it entertaining, so far? Yes.

[@Ushondle]

Correct

[@Thecrkartist]

Totally interesting and cute romance FL chasing the elusive prince only to actually fall inlove with him. The prince coz of his childhood love, didn’t want to admit he’s already smitten with Anle. Can’t wait to watch the entire drama.

I agree. I love her character. While she can be annoying to the ML, she is who she is and she is very refreshing compared to most FL's in C-dramas.

[@thecritic6977]

Agreed, this is a refreshing FL, even if it's not the best drama

[@QueenXKnit]

I actually really love it! Except the bad cgi and some discutable directing choice àd bad lighting, everything else work! Its a plot and character driven story, with good actor and thoughout characterization ❤

[@ritlua]

This has honestly been my favorite in a long time. Doesn't have the same polish as Long Ballad, but I'm digging it a lot so far.

[@deyayona]

I was seriously disappointed with the first episode and almost gave up due to the horrible special effects. Later it got better. Watched 15 episodes and its quite predictable, nothing extraordinary but watchable drama. If they continue to air everyday, I will watch everyday. If they don't, I won't miss it. Enjoying the main 3 actors' performances, especially Dilraba's spliting personality while playing flirty Anle and serious DZY. And how tall is LYN? I knew GJ is tall and LYN is even taller!! 🤭 ... New unit of measurement - 5 ancient detective to Nirvana in fire.. 😆 Looking forward to Imperfect victim's impression video from Avenuex.

[@gracenana8538]

TLOA is my cup of tea! Love Reba and JunJun chemistry and the tension with the cool fight scenes. 👌

[@suyv4079]

I enjoyed it as my daily drama after work. I like how it's balanced between serious, comedy, sweet romance & heartbreaking moments. Nothing heavy but not crappy & the pace is just right. Both Dilraba & GongJun portray their roles perfectly. Their personalities are polar opposite but when they're together, their chemistry is beautiful. They have their own missions & both are not easy to be manipulated 👍🏻 I like GongJun's portrayal of crown prince who's introverted, gentle but upright & actually smart. The story keeps getting more interesting as the "mission" proceeds, with revenge, guilt, (forbidden) romance.. I heard the plot is going to be "torturing" soon (especially for the ML), looking fwd to it. (in the words of AvenueX, we're psycho in that department 😂) But gotta agree that ep.1 was quite a letdown. But I'm glad ep2 onwards, everything turns better & makes more sense ! Not sure what's Youku thinking when they release TLoA- airdropped with no airing schedule, airing schedule was only released few days later but only half schedule & lackadaisical promotion for a "summer drama". It's a little obvious both Dilraba & GongJun accepted this drama to reciprocate Shanghai Theatre Academy & Youku respectively (while LYN accepted it later on as a gig). Meanwhile, STA & Yk (who are involved in TLoA production) are using these lead casts popularity to bring in exposure to the junior actors from STA who are acting as various supporting roles in this drama. I find it funny how sometimes the supporting roles have so much screentime, better filter, better cgi & better backdrop than the lead casts 😅

[@arlenekarim8903]

Yes agree you,the supporting role get many screen,good filter,better cgi and better background😌 While main leads get the worse filter especially Reba😢so unfair...But still love the drama bcause of Reba❤

[@pengdubit]

I am enjoying this drama so far. Up to episode 11. The pairing worked on me...is it a masterpiece nope am I forgiving a lot yep....but I am interested in the leads pairing so I am hanging in there. Also I like when anle is forward with the prince. So refreshing to watch. She is talking a big game ...i hope they have her back it up😂

[@s-classpop4057]

I like the dynamics btwn the main CP, and the shameless antics of brute Anle towards our elegant Han Ye. I love watching Reba being THAT flirty & the fact that it's an act makes it sm funnier. I laugh saying "shameless!" at least thrice per episode. I also find the young Dili Reba super cute and befitting of her role. The plot is simpler than that on the actual novel and it's okay. It's just that the dubbing with lines totally diff from the lip movements is too distracting to the point where I had to look away from the screen to avoid unwanted feelings aka annoyance/irritability huhu

[@junisoehardjo]

Appreciate the time and energy you give to review dramas, AvenueX. Stay fabulous with your traditional wardrobes and hairdressings ❤

[@sraevixa1442]

I am actually enjoying the drama so far. I know it's a bit slow but I understand they (mingxi and anle) have a plan brewing and acting too fast/rushing it could end up ruining the plan and stop it from succeeding. This way we also get to know about the other characters but i hope anle/ real ziyuan continues her revenge and doesn't stray from her main goals due to getting close with the people in the capital.

[@tornado12193]

I like Dilabra so that is why I waited so long for this. What upsets me is they didn't use their voices. if you look it up or just simply listen that is not their voices. I just don't get it, especially with her voice which for me is iconic. Yes things aren't consistent but it is interesting. I love how she comes at him and he acts like a scared bunny rabbit.

Im watching every 1 and then 2 episodes as they are being released these days and its currently at episode 15. I think that its very entertaining, Im not looking for a grand mystery and political masterminding with this drama. Although most people are thinking that after episode 17 airs today the plot is going to build up and I am excited for that. I suppose the most interesting part about this drama is the different variable characters that are going to inevitably pull the main leads apart. Luo Mingxi, the fake ziyuan and guard, and the beiqi royals undercover in the capital. My bet is that the fake ziyuan is only going to get much worse from here on out and really ruin whats left of the Di familys name. And speaking of the Di family I dont think that she is truly the last member....👁👁

Now that Lost You Forever has started airing, I'm waiting to see your first impression on that in comparison to Legend of Anle. I really didn't think I'd pay attention to it since I've never read the novel but I find myself captivated by it at the moment.

[@lusiabournet8216]

The history plot not have strong engagement but how Gong Yun portrayed the shy prince are so interesting, Reba did a good job but sometimes I felt sometimes she overdoing it as lively and intelligent woman. As I see she made Ziyuan a little sentimental character and Anle always playful n lively by ignoring her feeling. In basic Anle and Ziyuan are the same person. I don't see why she portrayed as two character, but she just change her name. The more engaging plot was Their love story development that I found strong. And how Gong Jun put it I love it. Yeah dubbing thing so out of dated n Cdrama still use it

[@thechronnocle4990]

Agree with your thoughts. The drama gets better whenever she was DZ, since she was overdoing being Anle. It's not easy to act as one person who pretends to be another person with different personality, as much as I love her in other dramas, I think she's not that deep yet. Hopefully she will get better.

[@lusiabournet8216]

@@thechronnocle4990 For Reba later I found out on her interview it is indeed two character. So it’s the writer n director that miss cause how Anle with this traits got recognized by HanYe, Anning n Wan Shuo as Ziyuan. Anyway these Anle traits : smart, little mischievous, carefree, cheeky, demonstrate her likableness are often use in Wuxia. Not easy to play cause often they fail to adjust onto these traits that indeed charming and not over play or exaggerated traits. I think the director didn’t give her enaugh time to get into this role. Btw Gong Jun gives remarkable performances as Han Ye all his pain or conflicting emotion, his shyness traits delivered very well. I am painful n my heart shattered as his and I want so bad the sad ending so they part away.

[@hobiscult]

I waited 2 years and after seeing alz.. I wish the two lead actors (gj & reba) were able to collaborate on a better script and direction. maybe a contemporary drama would have been much better than alz.

[@duckraft]

I was totally down for a pirate princess and liuyuning... But after a couple episodes I just sort of forgot about it. I don’t mind bad if it’s fun/ny. But it’s got to be really fun to keep watching.

[@ymkprod]

Was i disappointed by the CGI and weird camera angles? yes. Will i keep watching? YES. Because what really got me so far is the leads' dynamic and their story. It was all fun and full of sugar at the beginning but then you learn that it's all an act for Anle (until it isn't) and then we have Han Ye who couldn't help but falling for this girl. This kind of dynamic is not new or original but still Dilireba and Gong Jun really hit it so well together for me. Idk, their chemistry wasn't sth i expect to enjoy so much lol They both interpreted perfectly An Le and Han Ye in my mind from the novel. And I gotta say that some scenes are very well filmed, from the fighting scenes of An Le and Han Ye back to back to more emotional ones like when An Le helped Han Ye to get the decree for Di Ziyuan to get down from the mountain, Han Ye's conflicted emotions, bc at that moment he realized his feeling for An Le. That scene plus the BGM was just heart-wrenching, Gong Jun eyes delivered all of what Han Ye couldn't say out loud. I just watched the latest eps and holy moly the angst is hitting me hard. So i can say what this drama does right is the casting of the leads (including LYN) and to be able to build such an engaging and heartpulling love story between the leads. It's not going to be easy for them and it'll hurt but i'm ready for the angst, i want to see them overcoming all odds to finally have their well deserved happy ending. Hopefully more people can give it a chance bc it really has its own worth! ^^/

[@angelasoWA]

I don’t know who directed episode 1, but this drama does get more interesting. The whole spider man holding the rope is so wrong, where did that rope come from? Also the speed is fast, a lot of how things came to be is not there but I realize they have a 40 episode limit in China. I know a lot of folks hate the focus and plots of characters other than the main leads, but it's good to also develop and show case other up and coming actors and share the wealth. I also want to mention that I like the pace of the romantic development of the main leads, where they gradually get to fall in love. I also like to mention that I very much dislike cutsie, infatuated, clueless female lead roles so in my opinion, I feel that Dilraba has improved since playing Feng Jiu in that regard. For Gong Jun, while I haven't read the book, my guess is his character will get more interesting around the time he figures out who the real Di Zuan is.

Dilraba should do a full-on evil vamp role in modern time, I think that'll be something novel for her, not this 'I fell in love while taking revenge in fantasyland' bs, rather some morally grey manipulative businesswoman.

[@MidnightPrru]

Been stalking weibo for the past week. Anle Zhuan is doing great in china despite the sabotage by their production company, Shanghai films. Little back story, word around weibo is they purposely halted promos and gave the leads (Dilireba, Gongjun and Liu Yuning) poor CGI in order to promote their supporting roles. Fans have noticed this when supporting roles have been getting a lot more screentime and their scenes also have better CGI... Youku and the director were against this and wanted to keep to the original set work that's why there's been conflict and that's why only 17 episodes were released on the calendar. Supposedly Shanghai films own the rest of the episodes. That's why Yk randomly dropped 1 episode and keeps to that schedule as there's a lot of confusion. However the drama has achieved 10000+ youku heat index for over 3 consecutive days, No 1 hot drama according to Aiman and top 3 and top 2 in Vlinkage, also supertopic no 2 and CP supertopic no 1. Dilireba has the highest female popularity character index this year and 3rd highest overall after XZ and YY. Don't let haters persuade you into thinking this drama is flopping or average. It's doing very well despite setbacks and passerbys have been praising dilireba for her acting. The only criticism I see is the poor CGI and filter (All production related) otherwise people are loving this CP and drama. Remember folks, Chinese Ent only cares about what Chinese public think, not what international folks who hate for free think. 😉

[@LN.23]

Note for international audience - weibo super topic , vlinkage ,aiman etc pure traffic based system it has nothing to do with the quality of a drama . Traffic stars uses various techniques to trend and this traffic is used to top various charts ..Youku index,Tencent index etc are only hypes.,you will see various news that it broke 10,000,23000 , etc etc but none of this is factual,it's just hype to manipulate the audience. There is no female or male charts,and there is no female top or male top in vlinkage . There is only top covering males and females. Douban ratings is another fake system where all the antis go and vote to being down drama they don't like. It's only a fan based voting system, not an expert rating system. Since international fans don't have sufficient know how regarding these fake charts and systems they will share these data to make the audience believe that thier star is the star and all others are shining low. Since they cannot manipulate international fans that much or international ratings systems that much ,the lies fall apart in front of international audience. 😊 You can observe that many dramas which are breaking many charts are nit even getting attention from international crowd. Our opinion matters to them , but they will fake it otherwise

[@Sutrisnocf]

Thank you for sharing the drama within the drama. I think that Dilraba looked relaxed and natural with Gong Jun. They are comfortable to watch. The story seems to pick up after Episode 10.

Anle is a bad drama.,Avenuez is also agreeing on that ,she is not continuing it either. She criticised the drama but diluted and diluted it. She even added that , may be the last episodes will be more dramatic etc so that audience continue watching it . 😅 The positive comments here are added by dilrieba PR team . This is a flop drama ,everyone knows this already from day 1.

I pleade ignorance, never been to China, but nor do i buy into the propagsnda. I love, always will love. Chinese fantasy drama and my chinese friends, we are slk the same, all. I would love to visit China, love their rich history. I believe thats where Elven lore came from , their beauty, dress, regslia. Forever my love. God bless us all. One under God. Untamed is still my favorite. Ive stopped counting how many times i watched it. Now im watching Promise of Love.

[@user-qd6vd1co3g]

This drama is definitely the kind of drama you would forget about if you don't watch a few episodes, I was hoping that at least this show would be good considering how bad 'The Longest Promise' was BUT I was disappointed once again.

[@uditamohanty7928]

What? Longest Promise didn't do good either? I was planning on watching it- I thought we already have all the winners of Summer Drama this year... what are they doing..?

Longest promise explosive drama best on data

[@BTS-Sommy]

@@uditamohanty7928 longest promise did very well both on local tv and Netflix. The effects were top notch, so ahead of its time and very believable and the actors were excellent, their emotions on point and the message they wanted to pass was understood. The storyline was great and straight to the point. It did very well and even tecent gained 4.9million subs just on the first episode. I watched it and I recommended it to my friends and sister. Anyone who said its bad actually didn't watch it or didn't want to watch it wholeheartedly because in their shallow minds they believe that the actress/female lead is not beautiful like dilraba. So to them its a flop, but since when is judging a drama base on shallow beauty standard? Because to me she was super cute, fresh and beautiful. Please watch it, you will surely enjoy it. Episode 1 will hook you in.

[@user-qd6vd1co3g]

@@uditamohanty7928 I started watching this show like most people for xiao zhan but, the initial episodes were so bad ( considering the fl's bad acting, basic plot, boring second leads, annoying baby voice, etc.) so I put it on hold until it ended so that I could see everyone's reviews, but I'm honestly just waiting for AvenueX's review because she is the only one I can trust to give me honest reviews

[@Patsy154]

Wow! ... These days the comments section of AX's channel is more interesting than many of the dramas she reviews! 🤣 I'm Irish so really don't care about 'idol' & 'traffic' stars These people are just humans ... I also don't pay any attention to all the 'cr*p' online (I'm a grown-up) & I'm pretty sure most of the International audience don't either ... Much of it is just unbelievably ridiculous & petty to us ... We like it or we don't! I've watched this channel for several years because I appreciate the level of detail that AX goes into & her different take on 'reviewing' compared to other review channels ... She has her bias & her reasons ... So what?? I have mine & don't always agree but I can make up my own mind whether I enjoy something or not (I have a mind of my own) & I'm not going to hate on her because we differ in our opinions on certain dramas ... I'm not going to say who I think is a good or average/bad actor/actress ... I will say that there are many not so well known, 'beautiful' or popular actors & actresses around who are way way better than some of these 'top' stars I'm waiting for TLP to finish dropping on NF ... same for TLOA on YT before I start watching ... & I'll give both the same consideration I recommend Ancient Love Song, Butterflied Lover & a Familiar Stranger ... Dramas I've watched while waiting for others to finish airing ... Take Care & Happy Weekend ☺🖤

[@crickety4ever]

I was really looking forward to this drama but I just can't take it seriously as the characters actions just do no make any logical sense. It feels like it's trying to be Nirvana in Fire but it's like an empty shell of it. I will still try to continue and see how long I can last.

[@mehek..creation5461]

I like this drama so much

[@jenfries6417]

I've watched up to ep 8 and couldn't figure out what's wrong with this drama. Now I understand. This is an obligation project adapting a weak story to begin with. That explains a lot. There's so much money obviously spent on sets, props, etc., and so little effort obviously spend on the photography, lighting, styling, etc. The camera work is really disappointing, veering between boring and weird. 8 episodes in and I'm still waiting for the revenge plot to appear, aside from people talking about it. It has that uncomfortable vibe of a team contractually bound to do a project that the studio decided to sink a lot of money into, but which has a really lame story. I will keep watching it for the main leads. When they're allowed to work off each other in a scene, Gong Jun and Dilraba seem to have good chemistry and rhythm. But I don't have high hopes. Oh well. They can't all be winners.

I think your over thinking it. The ten miles of peach blossoms Raba's acting is a young girl trying to get her love, different acting style is required for this by Raba and she nails it, and it's nice to see her smile, her dunce silly acting is excellent, most actresses just look stupid and childish, Not being chinese, I love all the period custumes of all the dramas their all just so beautiful, so much color vividness, I dont have to be so technical and analyze the visual because it just looks beautiful to me. I'm Sad this is going to have sacrifices at the end, I'm a happy ending person, so I'm now going to wait for the last episode and watch it backwards I dont understand why these beautiful actors and actresses are not in relationships? going home to an empty house empty bed, don't the men want children??...? Why hasn't a Chinese actor, director snatch Raba up?

Liked that you said fantastical as that is the exact word that came to my mind, lol. I didn't notice the top of the boat, haha, as I was too taken aback by everything else that didn't make sense, such as how Han Ye didn't get run over by ALLLLL the other boats and jumped into the fight a while after it started also ALLLLL dry, 😂. Tbh, I am only watching because of the leads. Also like what you said, for me it doesn't have depth....a feel to it that we can immerse in, like Pearl Eclipse, Love Like The Galaxy, Sword and the Brocade, Princess Agents, The Autumn Ballad, The Story of Minglan, Rebel Princess, Legend of Fuyao ...... rewatchable dramas that I go to when there is nothing else I can sink my teeth into. They have a FEEL about them, if that makes sense? I do like some of Ren An Le's dresses tho. And Linlang actress is doing well as well as Anning actress. I like her better in this role than her role in A Girl Like Me, she impressed me with her capability. Other than feeling like I am being handheld in the story (obvious dialogue to make sure the audience is following along the story), it has caught me enough till her reveal and her family's matriarch. Surprised it passed review, and others lately, as it talks about how leadership should be righteous with Integrity, 🤔. 😂

I am so with AvenueX. You are right on again. As far as acting goes, I think LYN has some potential. However, I find Dilraba's acting is boring and always the same in every single drama she plays. The way she delivers her line is just so lacking depth. I think she is one of the most over rated actress in China. Gong Jun was ok.

I think she briefly covered it in one of her recap videos, she said she watched the first few episodes and it wasn't enough for her to come back and watch more. She already didn't like it, so she'd give a negative review, and then his fans really would go crazy, and all she'd get out of it is having to deal with irate netizens and watching a drama she didn't enjoy.

He slayed that role, so I thought maybe that was his acting breakthrough. It seems not. Dilraba is OK, but I just find her role a bit silly. To me, it seems like the entire budget was spent on sets. The wardrobe looks like it was, for the most part, hired from a shop selling party costumes. I'm not a great dressmaker, but I think even I could raid my local curtain store and produce some of those men's costumes.
