Love and Redemption has built a real following in the US on Rakuten Viki and iQIYI among viewers who want their sci-fi to think as hard as it looks. The show says what it needs to say in a single season, no filler. 25 viewers have already rated it on TMDB — the kind of consensus that does not happen by accident. Watch it for Cheng Yi — the performance elevates material that could easily tip into self-seriousness. Put it on tonight on Rakuten Viki and see for yourself.

There is a reason Love and Redemption keeps coming up in conversation. Love and Redemption uses its genre premise as cover for asking bigger questions. Legend has it that the god of battle saved heaven a 1000 years in the past in a deadly battle against the demon. Both fell from heaven and disappeared from the world. Chu Xuanji was born in the world without the six senses, making her quite clueless and inept. Cheng Yi and Yuan Bingyan lead a cast that never lets the concept overwhelm the characters. It first aired in 2020. What separates Love and Redemption from lesser genre entertainment is a willingness to let the concept cost the characters something. The consistency throughout is what elevates it — not every moment is the best, but none of them are a reason to stop watching.

Love and Redemption is satisfying on multiple levels — something to watch and something to think about after. Princess Agents is the obvious comparison, but Love and Redemption earns its own place alongside it. It is a manageable watch, easy to fit into a single week. Cheng Yi's performance is the anchor the more ambitious moments need. The world-building pays off in ways you will not anticipate on a first watch.
