When Destiny Brings the Demon episode 7 release date and time: Lighter and Princess star Arthur Chen's xianxia drama wins praise
When Destiny Brings the Demon episode 7 release date and time: When Destiny Brings the Demon, starring Chen Fei Yu (Arthur Chen) and Wang Ying Lu. has become the latest xianxia drama to make waves in the C-drama community, with each new episode pulling viewers deeper into its mix of fantasy and romance. Since its premiere on August 16, fans have been hooked not only on the unfolding love story but also on the show's clever use of cultivation lore, which adds layers of tension and mystery to every scene. When Destiny Brings the Demon: What the show is about The drama follows Zou Yan, a modern office worker who suddenly finds herself transported into a cultivation world. She wakes up as Liao Tingyan, a disciple of the Qinggutian Sect, who becomes the unlikely caretaker of Sima Jiao, a powerful cultivator sealed in a mountain for centuries. While Sima Jiao's destructive temper once struck fear into everyone, Liao Tingyan's calm, unambitious nature gradually softens him, and their bond grows into a story of fate, redemption, and love across lifetimes. How are fans reacting to When Destiny Brings the Demon? On the C-drama Reddit sub, fans have been vocal about When Destiny Brings the Demon, sharing a mix of praise, humour, and critique online. One viewer wrote, 'It's my first time seeing these two lead actors. The FL is funny enough. The ML is ok but could have been a bit less wooden.' The female lead has especially struck a chord with fans who relate to her world-weary, office-worker outlook. As one user put it, 'I am watching mostly because I find the FL's reaction to the crazy world around her funny. As another exhausted corporate drone, I can empathise with her situation.' Another added, 'She's like many office workers around the world… always going for the low-hanging fruit just to make it to the end of the day.'The male lead's performance has been more divisive. Some feel he lacks the aura of a terrifying figure, while others defend his character's background: 'ML basically grew up in physical torture and isolation. All his social skills were learnt with a pet snake and a talking flower.' Another fan appreciated that side of him, saying, 'Right now his goal is to take back control of his own life…' he's been ruthless in getting rid of those who came with ulterior motives.' Even with complaints about the styling, CGI, and pacing, the show is keeping audiences entertained. One fan compared the setup to workplace politics: 'She's essentially a new employee without ambition but somehow gains the interest of the boss, becomes his special assistant, and receives privilege, much to everyone's jealousy.' And while some are keeping expectations modest, others are already calling it a standout in the genre. After a binge session, one viewer declared, 'This has the potential to be my new favourite Xianxia—I even dare to say it's better than Love Between Fairy and Devil.'
