My excitement for the movie adaptation of Three Lives Three Worlds Ten Miles of Peach Blossom or Once Upon a Time is mounting with every new material released. Even though Yang Yang could be manlier but his pretty boy looks definitely fit the role of Ye Hua. The CGI effects are tolerable but I wish the art direction could be a little less "westernized."

The production of 3L3W far exceeded my expectations. Not only were the actors' interpretation of the characters right on the spot, the scriptwriter did a wonderful job filling in the story gaps. If I have to point out some flaws about this drama series, I wish the side characters (aka Donghua/Feng Jiu) had less screen time and the the original written scenes scripted for the OTP was kept in the drama series. After reading some parts of the original script, I notice some scenes between Ye Hua and Su Su were either taken out from filming or completely altered to facilitate shooting.
