    Are you looking for a cute romance anime? That’s how I started when I stumbled upon this gem. If you’re interested in a fast-paced fantasy anime with cool magical fighting scenes and a hint of romance then this one’s for you. Story 9/10 The setting is the ancient, magical realm of Chinese folklore. I’m not Chinese so this is how it came across to me. The story started strong with the main character (Orchid) already coincidentally meeting the villain-protagonist of the show (The Demon Lord) on the first episode. Since each episode is only 15 minutes long, every episode is packed with progress andwould want you to watch the next episode right away. It also delicately showed the beauty of Chinese folklore so if you’re a person interested in a country’s culture, then this one is for you. nnnCharacters 7.5/10nI wouldn’t say they were perfect especially Orchid—she might be a little too loud and annoying for you BUT that added to the comedic relief you will see in the entire show. There were a lot of other really strong characters you will see with depth so you’d definitely enjoy seeing them being played out in the anime.nnnGraphics 10/10 nI can’t take my eyes off the scenes where they do spells and the other magical stuff, because it was so beautiful! Very characteristic of Chinese animes. The backgrounds change into elaborate patterns whenever a character shows their power! I love it a lot. You hardly see anything like this in Japanese anime! This is definitely my favorite element in the whole entire show. nnnOverall 9/10nI would recommend it to people who want to watch something to pass the time and just enjoy. Nothing too cerebral about this show and that makes it enjoyable to watch when you want to relax and see a good anime. Also, it makes me want to learn a little bit of Chinese because it sounded fascinating. I suggest you give this anime a try ♥️nnAlso, there’s a Chinese live action for it so if you’re interested, just check Love Between Fairy and Devil on Kissasian. I’m currently watching it and I keep on squealing at the romantic scenes 😳☺️😂
