Luoyang (2021) User Reviews

One of, if not the best Chinese costume dramas in recent years

[jinnisme · 9/10 · 24 January 2022]

The visual aspect of the drama really stands out, they paid a lot of attention in designing the filming sets, just Baili Hongyi's room alone is enough proof. The costumes and tools were made with considerable attention to details, and in accordance to the time period as well.

As for the plot, Baili Hongyi's storyline stands out the most for me. He has great character development (thanks a lot to Wang Yibo, he made a lot of alterations to perfect and help this character stay true to himself), starting from a foodie with not much knowledge of the world surrounding him to someone who loses the people close to him and has no one to rely on as he sets on his mission to find out the truth. His loveline is a joy to watch, with all the lovey dovey scenes, but he doesn't get himself lost in that. Rather, he is the only character in the main trio to have been focusing on discovering the truth all along, he's the one who pushes the storyline forward.

Although the drama still has some defects, it is definitely worthy of your time.

One of Wang Yibo"s best performances

[jolenelord · 9/10 · 24 January 2022]

I really love this TV series 😍 All the characters have their own sparkling light! And the storyline is very exciting too. But the end is a bit too rushed.. Wang Yibo has acted superbly!!

< Good Chinese Wuxia Drama in 2021 > I already watched all episodes .

Luoyang's plots are so interesting and make me keep watching on it ! So addictive on it !!!

Editing / special effects / cinematography are great !! Scripts are Fast pace also , not boring !! Original voice used also !!

Director can manage to promote Luoyang's ancient capital , Luoyang's food, really well.

I like BailiHongYi's costume also - really make Baili is so aesthetic.

My boy Yibo is really talented in acting.

Yibo can portray details with his eyes completely in the last scene of episode 12.

Although I m Yibo's fan, I like Huang xuan's acting .

He is really good at acting as he is a senior actor also.

Drama Of The Year - Saved 2021 from Mediocre dramas

[angelinadebbarma-41821 · 10/10 · 24 January 2022]

I've been a fan of this genre since a very small age. And tbh I'm quite picky when it comes to the choosing my favourites. I saw the trailer of this drama last year and wow, it was a banger and as soon as I could, I added Luoyang to my watchlist. Here are some points which I found honestly amazing in the series- 1) Spectacular Production: Luoyang has amazing cinematography, high- budgeted production and magnificent editing that makes you crave for Vintage content everyday. One of the most important reasons why it was one of the best mystery and suspense drama of all times.

2) Plot and Cast- This drama was released before the novel and this very thing just added to the goodness and suspense of it. Moreover, the side characters played a very good role too. For eg- Shen Fei, Bai Lang, etc The leads Gao Bingzhu, Baili Hongyi and Wu Suiye has become my dream team now. They are a perfect trio - one who isn't scared of taking risk is GBZ, one who is always upto justice and superiorly intelligent is Baili Hongyi and these two need Wu Suiye who is sensible and strong. I really loved the idea of team of three people who has nothing to do with each other and have come from different walks of life coming together to save their hometown from corruption. I really love their acting, good portrayal of characters, amazing character development of Baili Hongyi's personality ( I used to hate him at first but he became my favourite at last).

3) Portrayal of Women - I still get goosebumps with the way Luoyang portrayed Women Empowerment. A strong imperial guard Wu Suiye taking charge of the administration as a head among all the males, and the way these women were powerful without anyone's support, specially the Empress and the Club women is just chef's kiss. Besides, Liu Ran was the sweetness of this drama. Altogether, these women gave the idea of "Women can be loving and caring as well as your nightmare if you trespass them"

4) Relationship development- This drama has everything which will make it an audience favourite! I became so invested in the way the characters were warming up to each other. Whether it is GBZ and Baili's enmity changing into brotherhood or the sweet sour dynamics of our husband and wife- Baili and Liu Ran, or the dream team of GBZ and WSY and the brother sister instincts from Wsy and Baili. This drama was so good.

5) Special extras- I really like the idea of arranged marriages in series where two people fall in love gradually and close the distance of a respectable relationship gradually. So I will always be a fan of Bailiu couple.

Thanks for this long read if you could make it till here. Overall, Luoyang is a binge worthy series. Have a try even if this genre is not your taste, I'm sure it will not disappoint you ever. The drama team did a great job.

Fast Pace, Magnificent Cinematography, Amazing Costumes & Props

[wyibomtjj · 10/10 · 20 January 2022]

The drama is a good watch, and that the plotline can keep the audience captivated. I watched it while it was showing, and the days that they did not air a new episode feels like years. Yibo's performance hooked me in from the get go. His subtle display of emotion mad eme fall in love with Baili Hongyi and totally forgot about Yibo. I wish they have a second season.

A mistery worth the wait

[hachimipark · 10/10 · 24 January 2022]

This drama is not only beautiful (the production is almost spotless, sceneries and costumes are really beautiful and full of details, camera work and colorization is top quality) It has very great performances and it will surely keep you on the edge of your seat. The main actors gave amazing perfomances. Really worth it if you love mistery solving stories!

Fast Pace at its best

[wnnyh · 10/10 · 24 January 2022]

Some people find a series drama pace are too slow especially for the series with more than 30 episodes.

Luoyang is different, you ended up watching this with your heart beats fast and out of sudden one episode ends.

The picturesque of Shendu city (Luoyang city back then) are so beautiful its jaw dropping, and it educate you on the custom during Tang Dynasty, during marriage, the kingdom. I also like the fact that they showed a lot of efforts of how a family member protect each other through their own capability and way.

Its really a good must watch drama and deserved a re-watch just to make sure we did not miss important clues the drama gave here and there.

Very intriguing and smart storyline

[Coraline_IDN · 10/10 · 24 January 2022]

I honestly was feeling bored with typical C-dramas which lately always having the similar plot or story, especially in romance or costume drama and I almost gave up.

Luckily I found Louyang! The story line and plots are very different with other drama. It explore more on the investigation and mystery.

The cinematography and visual on this drama were truly a blessings for my eyes - so beautiful.

I also loves the costumes. They really can potrays the elements in Tang Dynasty accurately.

Of course my favorite character here is Baili Hongyi. He is so smart and witty!

One of the memorable scene was when Gao Bing Zhu asked how did Er Lang know to open the snake key and then he simply replied, "I'M BAILI HONGYI" Awesome!!

Baili Hongyi always catch my attention

[vielouis · 10/10 · 27 January 2022]

All about this drama is interesting. The whole set, with all the details are very nice a beautiful. The story is kind of different that other similar drama. I love the chemistry between the main cast and also the progressive of the relationship between Er Lang and his wife. The most impressive acting off course Baili Hongyi. They way he stay with his character and portray it with such emotion is worth to watch. I wish he has more screen time coz the role of Baili Hongyi is very vital, the one that leads to the answer.

Great job Wang Yibo!!

Mysterious and logical storyline, political views, magnificent cinematography

[auniazman-78296 · 10/10 · 24 January 2022]

I'm one who stresses more on storyline when I'm watching dramas or movies. The storyline of Luoyang is very interesting, the mystery will get you invested more into every each of the characters. Other than that, the political and investigation elements are just what I'm looking for in historical dramas. I don't have any more words for the cinematography, camera work and the clothing, which I believe was back in the Wu Zhou period. If you love thriller, mystery and historical genre, this drama is promising 👍

Such an interesting drama for Suspense Drama Lover

[saidatulaqidah · 10/10 · 25 January 2022]

I watch alot of Cdrama, I can say this drama is a complete art. Starting from the storyline, its not too slow and not too fast and there is no dragging moment. In every scene there will be some clue left for the audience to think. The cast also great and deliver their roles respectively. Every character have their own characteristics also the setting place was so beautiful. We can see how beautiful the place, the structure of the building in the historical eras.

A feast for the eyes and stomach

[gwl850258 · 10/10 · 25 January 2022]

This is a beautifully filmed drama, from the meticulous production to the beautiful costumes, every detail is meticulously done. The storyline is intense and suspenseful with just the right amount of action. All the actors did a great job. I really love the interaction and dynamic between Baili Hongyi and Gao Bingzu, and Baili Hongyi and his wife. Wang Yibo did a great job portraying Baili Hongyi's growth as a character. This drama introduced me to the city of Luoyang and makes me want to go visit and taste their delicious food.

Gorgeous and exciting

[movieluvr99 · 10/10 · 25 January 2022]

You can tell a lot of money went into the filming of this. It's absolutely gorgeous. So many Chinese productions are awfully cheap-looking. This is the exception. Movie-quality for China. Acting is strong across the board and best of all, it's compelling. I was hooked on the mystery and enjoyed the detective work to uncover it. Very nice.

Luoyang

[rosemarymousumi · 10/10 · 24 January 2022]

[rehanparmar · 10/10 · 25 January 2022]

One of the best ancient costume c-drama for 2021

[lisawyb-43699 · 10/10 · 25 January 2022]

Luoyang is one of the best ancient costume c-drama for me and its a great drama to exit 2021 ! Its full of intrigue and surprises throughout its 39eps which keeps me wanting to continue watching it. Also, Wang Yibo's acting here is quite top notch - no over-the-top & exaggerated acting ! All his gestures, expressions & mannerism are so on-point and convey exactly who the Baili Hongyi is. The cinematography is excellent & some of the scenes are gorgeous especially Baili Hongyi's room. The floating candles, the wooden walkways - Its so captivating ! Watch the drama & you will know what I mean !
