This is only season1, so the rating is incomplete.... and we know that season2 is ready, but chinese new regulations for release of second seasons is at least one year gap.. so I'm just rating this one... the story is obviously not rounded up, there are multiple loopholes and it looks like a messy catastrophe of human relations.... characters are complex and thought provoking....the white clad villain is slowly getting in touch with his heart,as he falls deeply in love with XiaoYao and will amend for his past cruelty towards her......on the other hand we've got her childhood friend and kind of 'first love ', who chooses to be king with 9 wives, but end up being lonely.

Honestly, I have always been a big fan of Yang Zi ever since Ashes of Love. However, I do see that it doesn't what the storyline is, her acting is repetitive. She plays similar roles in many of the drama. I can't deny how well she does emotionally though. She's definitely the queen on that. The storyline makes since if you actually read the novel. Though it still questionable who is the actual main male lead.
Few things I think it is overly unrealistic is these four main lead all like one girl. Like seriously. I wouldn't give this a 10/10 simply because, the main heroine is all over the place. Her relationship with her cousin/first cousin/similar to a brother is actually quite gross. For the cousin/first cousin to have develop romantic feelings toward her remind me of that episode from Friends when Rachel dated a guy name Danny and he was super close to his sister which is a bit distributing. Realistically, even in a fantasy novel/drama romantic feelings shouldn't even be written about between two cousin. The female character is also selfish, her feelings is all over the place and that is what is confusing. She supposedly like Jing, but cannot see him another woman and she get piss off about it or act like she simply don't care. Then she will jump around leading the third male lead to develop feelings for her, questioning her own feelings whether or not she have feelings for him. Like she seriously rebound whenever she feels lonely or hurt, but she is also hurting the other male lead character. Was the story confusing? Not too much if you do read the novel, but per not reading the novel you will somewhat get confuse.
The writer did a good job writing the script just like it is in the novel. Cinematography the drama was shot beautifully. Some of the scene was really touching. The music are beautiful and compliment well with the drama and the scene. Acting between the characters are well portray. I do no find Jing to be boring like most people claim. I honestly felt that Deng Wei actually portray this character really well. The best of his acting I have seen so far. Tan Jian Ci is definitely did well on the personality of a cold hearted demon. Beside the unrealistic and over doing with the four male lead liking one female character, I say please do give this drama a chance. It's not as bad as it seem, but also not the best of all either.
I will love to see Yang Zi play more different characters maybe someone who can transform, different characters personality all in one drama might be interesting.

Remarkable cdrama that stands as a shining example of character-driven storytelling at its finest. This emotionally charged and intricately woven narrative pulls you into a world of passion, sacrifice, and complex relationships that will linger with you long after you stopped watching.
What truly sets Lost You Forever apart is its unapologetic willingness to delve into the complexities of human emotions. Our main leads choices are never simple, and the drama doesn't shy away from depicting the consequences of their actions and sometimes you will hate them for that.
At the heart of the drama are its characters, each meticulously crafted with imperfections, realness and rawness and flawlessly portrayed by the talented cast.
There's a clear willingness to explore the gray areas of morality makes the characters and their dilemmas all the more compelling and I enjoyed that a lot. Not everyone HAS to be all good and forgiving, and not the bad guy is all bad.
I won't ever understand so many negative reviews criticizing Yang Zi as XiaoYiao/WenXiao, she literally nails the portrayals of the characters, acting both like a cheeky uneducated man and also like a noble born lady, and you will watch her transform herself before your eyes and see her pain, feel her love and every other emotion she goes through, a worthy performance.
Also have to mention that Tan Jian Ci playing Xiang Liu/FangFeng Bei, was the perfect cast for the tortured soul yet filled with love and compassion Snake demon. There were so many scenes where not a word was needed for this actor to be able to make us feel the pain and love of his character through the screen.
I am a converted fan. I am looking forward to watch him in the second part of the series.
This drama is a tour de force of character-driven storytelling that transcends the boundaries of typical dramas. Its exploration of love, sacrifice, and the human experience will completely captivate you.
Come my way second part!! ( as soon as possible I beg you)

One of the best drama for 2023 🤗
wairaicute3 August 2023
I have finished reading the novel last year and really loved the story. When i started to watch the drama since episode 1, im bring hooked! The casts, plot, cinematory, CGI, OST and directing are all on point! Tong Hua, the writer of the novel is also the screenwriter for this dtama, thus it is no suprise why the drama turn out to be great and follow almost the storyline of the novel, particulary the highlight of the storyline which are significant to the novel readers. I would suggest to read the novel before watching the drama so that you can understand more on the plot but it would be a spoiler then 😬 nevertheless, so far im satisfied with the drama and really can wait to watch it until the end and continue in Season 2.
Amazing Drama.
marioreyna-7253928 July 2023
Amazing Drama. Recommended. Beautiful history, incredibly performance. Excellent chemistry with actor and actresses. Yang Zi surprises me with her role of the main character. Is really a drama that makes you cry and laugh. Great adaptation from the book. Yang Zi impression of her character makes her awesome. Each chapter or episode has a unique detailed from the book. Fascinating, excited, great panomaric scenes. I watched so many dramas but I really consider this one as a masterpiece. Is is worth it the time you see this drama. Maybe in the future more dramas like this should be made. Amazing.

Lost You Forever is a QUALITY PRODUCTION
iamspringfairy3 August 2023
You know a production when it is screaming QUALITY and this is LOST YOU FOREVER. I always love the novel and I am so glad that the drama delivers the chapters in the novel with justice. I beg to disagree with other reviews here that Yang Zi acting ain't good. She is brilliant as well as the the three male leads. It is the way how the novel described in writing now in motion the characters here. The cinematography is just so high level that I have not seen for years. I am glad that the drama depicted it better from the bovel. Naturally all the novel chapters will not be depicted in a drama but they showed the key chapters to deliver the story completely. Plus, this is S1 so the continuation of the story will be in S2. And, just remember this is a fantasy tragedy drama so there are really quite twist of events . Conclusively, over all for me this is really a good quality production. Don't be sucked with those reviews that give negativity coz that's not really the case .
Is it worth watching ?
tanthina29 July 2023
I will try to be impartial as I'm a Yang Zi fan , for me , as an international fan of kdrama , cdrama and tdrama , I find a lot cdrama corny. I'm also not a fantasy fan as I find a lot of impossible nonsense of some acts and plots. When I first heard that this is a book adaptation which is a lot popular , I was very hopeful and since Tong Hua personally supervised the shooting , I began very hopeful. Soon , I'm watching the 1st episode and I was hook already , why ....... because of the setting , the vivid colors of the setting are one of the most beautiful I have ever seen except in Hollywood films. Regarding the actors , especially as I never seen them act before , ZWY , TJC , DW ... they really suit the characters . For 2023 , this is only the 2nd drama I love and for me the best yet... 1st drama is My Starry Love for the lead female role of being the badass. YZ here is very good as expected but the emotions the role needed is really in another level. She really gave a very very great performance , they all do . It may not be perfect but I can't imagine any other who can give justice for the characters the role need. Congrats to the whole LYF family
the role of YZ is a badass as she can overcome all hardship and rise to it on her own. No revenge , no hate , but SELF LOVE , a person's journey.

Warning: Spoilers
It moved me. Actress Yang Zi's acting are very superb. I feel her joys and sorrows. The story is very attractive. I am very interested in this story. In the wilderness, people, gods and demons live together, and the three kingdoms of Xiyan, Chenrong and Haoling stand. Ji Jiuyao (Xiaoyao), the king of Haoling, who was exiled in the wilderness, experienced a hundred years of suffering. He not only lost his identity, but also lost his appearance. He settled in Qingshui Town and became a "nowhere to go, no one to rely on, and unable to protect himself". He hangs a pot to make a living. Sun Yanxuan, the king of Xiyan, who used to be Xiaoyao's childhood sweetheart, went to Haoling Kingdom to make protons. Even under the hedges and hibers, in order to find Xiaoyao, he walked all over the wilderness and came to Qingshui Town. The days in Qingshui Town were plain and warm. Wen Xiaoliu accidentally saved Tu Shanjing, the dying son of Qingqiu. In the morning and night, the two fell in love with each other. Wen Xiaoliu did not know each other with the nine-headed demon Liu, and cherished each other and became a confidant. Ren Xiaoliu and Yanxuan didn't know each other. After several twists and turns, they finally recognized Yanxuan and restored Wang Ji's identity.
My Personal Favorite Novel Plus TV Series
limen-5091829 July 2023
I'm a huge fan of the novel and really enjoyed the original book as well.
I was worried about how the remake would turn out, but this drama didn't disappoint. This novel is not the love entanglement of four men and one woman as mentioned in other comment areas.
Every man in the novel has his own career, ambition, and standpoint, and the heroine's childhood experience is very painful, so this drama is also the heroine's own salvation.
I saw a lot of people commenting on the actress's appearance in the comment area, but I don't quite understand it, because many of us are immersed in the stories in the plot instead of seeing how beautiful the heroine is. She is not a beautiful woman, even if her appearance is restored in the later stage, the original book does not say that the heroine is a beautiful woman.

THIS STORY IS A BOP I PROMISE Y'ALL DON"T LISTEN TO ALL THE STUPID REVIEWS THAT TRY TO BRING DOWN THIS BEAUTIFUL STORY
amyrarosbect28 July 2023
This drama is really great, i love the cinematography and the effort of the production to make adaption. The story is about Xiao Yao and four men that she encountered that hold special and different place in her heart. When she was still kid she and her cousin which is the male lead of this story Cang Xuan lost both of their parents to the war and family conflict. From that moment they promised always be there and protect each other however they need to part their ways due to the conflict of their royal family, when Cang Xuan finally went to search for Xiao Yao, he learned that Xiao Yao already escaped to look for her mother, but the destiny is so cruel Xiao Yao end up in the hand of bad guy and get tortured for years, that incident affect her mentally and physically cause her to lose forget who she really is and change her identity to a man name Xiao Liu. She does not pretend to become a man, but she is a man, i really dont know how to explain it but those who have read the novel wil understand what i meant. She lives happily in Qing shui Village for years as Wen Xiao Liu but that happiness doesn't last long after she met those who will change her live forever......
What i want to said is don't listen to all these stupid reviews, go watch it i swear it's worth it because the acting of these actors is magnificent and will move you to the core of the bottom of your heart.
P/s: WATCH LOST YOU FOREVER FOR A CLEAR SKIN XOXO.

A very good drama. Everything just beautiful (except the eagle's cgi. Lol).. Haters take their time to write a long review just to put this drama down. Chill guys. Enjoy your life in a good way. Be good to others.
The plot in this drama very slow, but not a big problem for me, i can enjoy watching it. The blood need to be more real. Yang zi not as beautiful as the other actress, but her acting just so good. I don't like xuan's wig when it shows his long hair. Xiang liu sometimes act too much, but his storyline with xiaoyao is the best so far. Shiqi makes me feel sad everytime i see him. Haha..

Drama from famous Chinese writer TongHua
yasasaya29 July 2023
This drama teach you how to rely on yourself. Because nobody will help you, except yourself. All actors portrayed the character very well. This drama not only about love but about family, friendship and power. This still ongoing but i like how Yangzi portrait Xiaoliu without burdened as idol. She really want to Xiao Liu look like mid age man. If you ever read the novel i promise that you will not disappointed. Almost all the detail in the novel you can find in the drama. The crew of this drama is so careful and this make us a viewer really enjoy watching this drama. Well, this looks like 4 males chase 1 female. But this drama more than that.
Fantastic music and theme, really attract me
zoumj28 July 2023
It is based on a novel that is very popular in China and most young people have read it. The soundtrack for this TV series is fantastic, with typical Chinese romantic symphonies. Although the theme is tragic, there are some funny little moments inserted into it that will make you cry for a while and laugh for a while. The performers are great, and each individual person seems to live as if he or she were living with us, real and complete. The sceneries recorded are so beautiful, ther're just like my screen pictures.
Btw, the plot is really good, I don't understand why so many idiots say they can't understand it.

samtcling28 July 2023
There seems to be quite a few people who is trying to black this drama by giving ridiculous review and rating. I personally think those real reviews are like us. The ones who really watch the drama.
Yangzi's acting has always been one of the good actresses i have seen. Been watching her dramas since Ashes of Love. Watching her is never disappointing. It is the same for this drama.
Just started watching 5 episodes and it has been pretty good. It tells you of the start of each character that would eventually evolve into a greater story later. Excited to continue watching as i think it will get even more interesting.

The storyline is confusing
Cythina28 July 2023
Warning: Spoilers
I've always had a favorable impression of Chinese costume dramas for their imaginative and mysterious oriental allure. When a new TV series aired, I eagerly started watching it as usual. However, I'm finding it difficult to continue with this show. Firstly, the storyline is quite confusing, and I'm struggling to identify the leading male actor. Secondly, the choice of actress for the leading role raises questions. In a female character related to all four male characters, I would expect her to either be a beauty like Helen in Troy or exude charm. Unfortunately, after four episodes, I don't see these qualities. The acting feels bloated and flamboyant, giving the impression of a woman disguised as a man, yet with feminine makeup that's hard to ignore. Furthermore, the male characters lack masculinity with their prettyboy makeup, unlike the more authentic portrayal seen in Korean costume dramas.

I have read the novel and very happy with the drama.
I like jing who is very loyal to xiao yao, xuan who still looking for xiao yao even though she is infront of his eyes, xiang liu who is always xiao yao's protector, a nian who is the spoiler sister.
This drama is great, wonderful story, great writer and screenwriter and great director. I realy like everyone in this show.
Lately i've seen a lot of people giving bad reviews about this drama even though they haven't even watched it. If you don't like the actors, just close your eyes and don't mess with the drama. Good drama deserves good result. It was everyone hardwork for months. Don't judge drama base on your favorite actors and insult drama that aren't your favorite actors.

After reading all the reviews and trying to watch the drama , I'm totally shocked with the low quality in this drama ! The drama is very draggy and slow, even 2x speed on YouTube is not fast enough!
The actress as main heroin may used to be a good actress but unfortunately throughout the years her acting skills has gone down the hill . Very exaggerated acting style , with big movement and wide eyes .... in this drama , she is supposed to pretend to be a guy at the first but her portrayal of a street guy /gangster makes me cringe 😬, you can tell she exaggerated all the movement to make people think she is a guy but it is way too much that just her looks weird and too intentional . Also , I couldn't understand most of her lines/dialogue unless I look at the subtitle ! No wonder there are both English and Chinese subtitle for this drama on YouTube.
Unfortunately for her look , it is not very convincing to have 4 male leads fall head over heel over her !
The main actor , one of the guy not only his look is pretty ordinary but has a very dull facial expression. I couldn't tell what feeling he is having based only on his facial expression, is he sad ? Angry ? Happy ? Disappointed?
Personally I don't think it is worth wasting your precious time on drama like this one , so many other good dramas out there with better looking casts and acting skill !

I'm a fan of the novel for a long time. Its one of my favourite story for a long time. I don't believe that the FML looks like this. It's toally ruined by her appreance for the first look. I know there are lots of beauties in CDrama, so why her!
Secondly, i know it's a super long story around 80 episodes. But the pace is so slow and plain. The big scene with plots was ruined too. Till today it's been 10 episodes already, which only tells plots for 5 episodes.
Moreover the MLs are also awkward. They neither acting proactively nor vividly, sometimes looks like blinded. When playing maigic, it's not like a magic but a idolt.
In a nut she'll, Im very much disappointed and lost my patience.

Honest Review
oanh-0335328 July 2023
Hi guys, I've read some of the reviews that was written and shame on the ones that haven't actually watched the drama that rated it one star. I know you know who you are. Just because your bias didn't have great results in their work this summer does not give you the rights to bring others hard work down just because they are killing it in all the charts from not only their fans, book fans and passerby.
P. S if you guys feel that your bias acting in threaten by Yangzi and the crew than continue to blacken the drama. It's pretty good to have free advertisement.
Anyway, to the review from what I have watched so far which is ep 1- ep 12. I only have these words to say: how am I going to survive till the end of first season than torture myself in waiting for the second season! OMG I literally cried in every episode so far and it's just the opening/introduction to the actually drama it self.
If anyone who had read the novel like I did than you know how close the first arc of the series ties into with the book. I've seen some complaining about the slow start, but for readers and drama viewers to understand what's going to happen in the later part of the drama they have to pay really close attention to all the things that is happening right now because there is going to be a lot and I mean a lot of foreshadowing going on. Also, unlike a lot of other drama out there, especially the newer ones seem to always gloss over what causes their character to act a certain way or why their character decision on certain things.
I want to write a whole 6 pages plus essay about this drama, but I want people to actually go and watch it and experience it themself. Also, for those who are being mean and cyber bullying Yangzi about her look than same on you. Can your bias act and willing to actually focus on their role vs trying to alway look beautiful in scene that require then to look realistic?
P. S if you guys feel that your bias acting in threaten by Yangzi and the crew than continue to blacken the drama. It's pretty good to have free advertisement.

A MUST SEE

I don't understand some of the reviews here w/ poor ratings, which obviously a deliberate , malicious attack to the drama, or the reviewer doesn't know how to appreciate a masterpiece because was blinded by hatred/jealousy. By far one of the best Chinese custom drama I've seen, the attention to the details, the cinematography and the plot , kudos to all the cast and to the behind the scene crews. I love Chinese custom dramas, but it only takes a few ones that i will stick watching it till the end and this drama is one of those that I anticipate to watch the next episode. I highly recommend you to watch it, all the cast are In sync with each other, their storyline and characters are on point, I can easily follow, its not one of those confusing storylines.
So forget those hate comments, Congratulations to the cast and crew of Lost You Forever.

Leading male role is not good enough

Personally, disappointed on the leading male role - not good looking enough for a costume drama. First 1-2 episodes are boring which almost turned me off.
High expectation on Yangzi initially. Her acting is ok, but I don't get her look this time and her face looks differently in this drama. Not as good as Yangzi's past several costume dramas.
Disappointed on ALL male roles. Tangjianci is just ok but others are either ugly or with poor acting skills.
Storyline is kinda of slow and boring. Don't understand why basic background needs almost one episode to describe. Not a fan for the original novel but seems not attractive enough for me.

Best drama 2023

Who rate one or low this drama who are hater or anti to the actress who act because they thinks their favourite actress is better but they are blind in real didn't and keep jealous. Anyway highly recommended this drama still top notch in score. I watched per episode but still rewatch again because very good acting the leading actress and also the males lead their perspective role and is not cringe and very touching because when they cry and I cry also. I laugh I don't notice because have a line story make you smile. All supporting actors also good in acting. The background scenery is beautiful. Actors and actresses are all gorgeous.
