@phoenixfrost the director told esther to act as a 510year old kid since orchid is only 1500 yo unlike dfqc who is 30000 yo. That the reason behind. Dilbara only acts as a cute person in that series not as a 510year old kid. Dilbara is already 30for her to act as a 10yo

Love Between Fairy and Devil is a xianxia drama, which narrates the story of forbidden love between a devil and a fairy. The drama has everything a xianxia drama has: forbidden love reincarnation a cold male lead falling in love with the warm and bubbly female lead making it his only weakness female lead with hidden identity and more. But what makes this drama stands out from other xianxia drama is that it has a VERY BEAUTIFUL visual sequence graphics and cinematography. Love Between Fairy and Devil successfully brought the fairy element into their drama and I think the drama has raised the standard high for the next xianxia drama.

The narrative of Love Between Fairy and Devil is straightforward about a fairy unaccidentally saving the demon lord and they gradually fell in love. The screenwriter managed to write a very cohesive and compelling story also with a coherent storyline making it easy for the audience to understand. The drama also manages to seamlessly combine comedy romance also angst in the latter part. Every character in the drama also has their own background story with their own personal motive each character is there not only for the sake of getting the male and female lead together nor just to make the drama plot more lively but each character is there making their own decision which gradually leads and builds up to the whole drama plot.

What makes Love Between Fairy and Devil distinctive from other xianxia is definitely its art department and how well they articulate it. The drama manages to articulate the vision of the fantasy world and everything that comes with it. It is beautifully and enchantingly portrayed that you would actually believe the presence of such world where there are pink skies with whales a pavilion full of flowers a castle on top of a hill and more. It has been a while since there is such beautiful and mesmerizing graphics in a drama. You can see that the drama spends most of its budget on its art department starting from costumes CGI graphics more IQIYI also offers the drama in 4k quality

Firstly the drama costumes are very beautiful the costume department puts a lot of thought and effort into their costume. Everyone outfit is fitting to their character and demeanour. DongFang QingCangs outfit is mostly black but also with a hint of gold showing his sovereignty as the moon supreme. Xiao Lan Huas outfit is in bright pastel colours fitting with her character and personality as a fairy with a bright and bubbly personality. Other than the main characters the side characters also have very pretty costumes such as Chang Hengs war costume. Moreover the drama also has very beautiful headpieces especially for the male characters which are rarely seen in other historical dramas.

Secondly the graphics and CGI of each realm location and power special effects are rendered so smooth that it resulted in an ethereal and mind-blowing result. Such as DongFang QingCang's hell flame when he summoned the dragon the arbiter hall and more. The drama is meticulous in every aspect from its colour palette visual art CGI and lighting everything is well thought. I especially love the scene where Rong Hao and Chang Heng entered the painting they really ook like they're in a painting they look 2d which beautifully reflects the beauty of Chinas culture.

Thirdly I also love how the drama sets a certain persona and design for each tribe and realm meticulously. For instance in the fairy realm the gods use bright and light outfits and headpieces with overexposure to the lighting. The fairy realm has a very heavy element of the Chinese culture, meanwhile, the demon moon realm has a hint of medieval elements in its location, outfits and more. The drama team also paid attention to those small actorsextras like the guards their outfit is not sloppy. It is fitting to the overall persona they set. Such as the moon palace guards has dark and big outfit which looks intricate.
