Synopsis:
As a ten-thousand-year-old immortal, Bo Yan should have had plenty of experience keeping the affairs of the mortals under his care in check. But when the ancient immortal accidentally mess up a number of marriages within the mortal world, he has no choice but to accept the consequences of his actions. Demoted from his post in the heavens, Bo Yan is sent to the mortal realm to experience the trials faced by the humans he spent so many years watching over. Falling from the sky, Bo Yan finds himself crossing paths with Shangguan Ya, known more as "Xiao Ya", the owner of a successful matchmaking business, in a most unexpected way. A quirky young woman with a quick wit and a brilliant mind, Xiao Ya isn't sure what to make of Bo Yan at first. In order to blend in with his newfound circumstances, he takes the name, Chu Ye. But as they begin to spend more time together, it soon becomes apparent that they're tied together by more than a mere coincidence. Sharing a desire to save the world's marriages from chaos, Chu Ye and Xiao Ya embark on a journey to do just that. Working together towards a common goal, the two begin to realize their feelings for each other have changed dramatically since their first encounter, but can a human and an immortal really be each other's destiny? @MDL
Non-Spoiler Thoughts:
A fluffy, cotton candy Xianxia in the mortal world where a matchmaker struggles to do business after the village makes it illegal to be in a couple. The premise was silly, but I jived with it, and if you can suspend your disbelief (and embrace the ridiculous), the drama is fun. The leads had good chemistry, though they weren't exactly on their acting A game. Shangguan Ya (FL) could be annoying at times, but I really liked her bangs, so all is forgiven. The grandmother's character was a hoot and the secondary couple was fine.
Story=3.5, Acting=3, Production Quality=2.75, Enjoyability= 2
Why I dropped:
Some of the comedy elements were too slapstick for my liking
Didn't hold my attention
The drama has a very similar vibe to the K-Drama, The Matchmakers, so if you are in the market for something similar, I'd check that out.
