Nirvana not to be found in this lifetime

Enemies to friends to lovers - a simple way to think of this story, but there is much more to enjoy about this drama than the two leads falling for each other. In fact, there are truly three leads in this story - and the interconnectedness of their lives and fates really drives this story forward as they learn to love and fight for what is right in a world of deceit in the quest for power.

The story sags a bit towards the end - I feel the whole war with the state of Wei was unnecessary. There is no build up with the king/emperor of Wei, and I would have rather the story focused on the complicated emperor of Liang instead. And while I would have liked for a better end for Wei Zhao, there was probably no feasible way for him to be alive after what he does to the emperor.

Be warned: the first 10 or so episodes have some hard-to-watch moments as the male and female leads go at each other while being enemies - some of it is downright torture. It's a testament to the pacing and development of their relationship and the actors' performances to make their romance eventually believable with some palpable chemistry.

The drama is over but its a beautiful memory which will live on!

i dont prefer romance based dramas/movies much as they have similar storyline with HE/BE, but still i watched this one fr its story & ofcourse RJL, Jeremy.
Story:
PY was given the responsibility of making his clan famous, thrive etc by his mother which he complied obediently, until he met JC, he became obsessive (lover kind of) regardless he still kept his clan/mother his priority before JC. His attitude towards JC became better after her master passed away/couldnt save his mother. He got a huge blow whn AC was killed, which led him to fight for his country/injustice/fr bigger cause/ fr people.

Cui Liang had less scenes but they were crucial fr the story. Personally he couldn't fight fr his love due to various reasons.

JC, a free spirited girl gets caught up in btwn. Later as story progresses realises both ML's were using her fr their own selfish desires. Although she's clouded by what she hears vs sees, towards the last quarter realises where her heart truly belongs.

WZ's life was not his to begin with, he dedicated it for the people of yueluo city. Out of all characters his was the most heartbreaking one. Frm him hating her fr spoiling his plans to caring fr her/console, be with her in her difficult times even if his life was at stake/decorating their house & many moreeee was portrayed remarkably.

Acting :
Kudos to all actors, actresses fr playing their characters marvelously.
RJL you chose your character excellently, the one that vil stay in OUR HEARTS FOREVER
((its sad end fr his character BUT do we remember all happy endings of dramas/movies???? ......... this one fr sure we will))

Overall:
Gradual progression of strangers - hating - loving each other, shown beautifully although at start i was skeptical abt the theme of this drama however it kept me hooked till the end.

No matter how much i write it doesnt give full justice to this gem.

Half Worth the Watch, At Least Not a Total Waste of Time

I don't even remember what I liked about this drama that i have endured the early eps. It's 40 episodes and is one of the longest dramas I've watched. And in the end, after finishing it, I can say it's half worth it, but probably because of the amazing performance and characters of both male leads. Don't get me wrong, the female lead is a great actress; I just don't like the damsel-in-distress type and the, what do you call that, naive type who claims that she doesn't know how to seduce men but has done all the things a man would fall for and claims that she didn't want that love at all, like what? I can't blame the second male lead for falling and obsessing over her. She clearly sent some signals unknowingly. I feel bad for the second male lead; he's such a good character at first but was driven mad by love and became obsessive. He's tragically begging for her love at any given chance, like, bro, there are many fishes in the sea; don't waste your time on someone who can't love you back. But I'm glad that in the end, he realized his obsession. It's just how the story is written; you're just not the female lead's type, haha. I really feel bad for him and at the same time admire that, until the end, you can still see in his eyes that he still loves her but is now ready to let go. I liked the male lead at first but lost interest probably at the same time when the female lead started becoming unbearable for me. Overall, not that worth of a watch; just felt pity for the second lead and just want to know how the story ends.

Shameless Cat

Oh, Commander Wei. Oh, Sanlang! Oh, my heart!😭 I have yet to finish but without a doubt! As I’ve said it once, I’m going to say it again. This is hands down one of the very best in a long, long time. After Love of Nirvana, I’m afraid too many other series will only be faulted in my eyes. It’s not so much that this was perfect, but it was nearly perfect! The story was well-written and executed! There was never a need to become skeptical or go beyond belief to accept the plot or its logic, neither having to constantly question any of the characters or their level of maturity and mentality. And that’s how I know it’s a good one!

Indeed, Love of Nirvana showcased a very political sense of plot and complex roles with every episode climatically opening up to the next. The longer I stay with Nirvana, I see a masterpiece, an intricate level of many things fitting into the big puzzle———proving to further and thickened the plot and unexpectedly entwining everyone and their actions together! Clearly, the author knew her intended audience and she wrote a keen story to match!

My only disappointment in the drama were the lack of romance for our leads and no finer strategies regarding Sanlang’s plans. Regarding Yuelo, he was at a total loss of what to do, hence more clansmen have to die. I was keen on him preparing something ahead, manipulating a plan. But over and over, he had nothing up his sleeves only depending on his moles and watching his people die one by one ultimately failing to keep himself alive, too. I’m not a fan of neither Allen Ren and Jeremy’s acting, but I have to say here their dullness becomes their roles most enigmatically. Allen’s seemingly reserved and aloofness embodied as Sanlang was very much appreciated.

I personally found Lord Pei the most conflicted, and pitiful and relatable character in the show. I applaud Jeremy for his showcase of the role, he really gave his all, knowing that he went against his agency to take the supporting role! A righteous lord fighting for justification but filled with greed. He seeks greatness but unable to live up to the name. Torned between his duty and selfishness, yet trying to keep up with his heart and wild emotions at the same time answering to his kin and King. He is the epitome of only wanting to do good but everything only proved wrong. I feel for Lord Pei.

I absolutely adored the very-unlikely-and-subtle bromance between Commander Wei(Sanlang) and Lord Pei. They might think they are sworn enemies of the court but really their quiet animosity is based on some respect and of their own tasks. It was pretty interesting to watch the two opposing men occasionally throw together by the King, and other times Sanlang was plotted to keep an eye on Lord Pei as the latter was tasked to work with the former aka the mask man. Even after Lord Pei discovered Sanlang’s identity, no real harm was done? They are wholesome frenemies.

Last but not least, Jang Ci is by far one of the most likable heroines ever! She’s consistent, reasonable, and super smart! Very practical. Very mindful, Very demure! A great actress!

Slow start, picks up in the middle, then drags toward a shit ending.

I feel like I went through all that for nothing.

I just want to make it clear from the outset that I am exclusively a romance watcher, the actual ROMANCE aspect of a story is what i'm interested in and focused on. I rate things based on the quality of the romance part of the story, and how it fits into the plot.

Viewed strictly as a romance, imo this was awful. The romance was a side-dish to the main story, which was basically palace intrigue and political power struggles. There is a love triangle and the dynamics of it are weird and uncomfortable. The ML/FL chemistry was quashed over and over again, leading up to a SINGLE kiss scene you wait 38 episodes for that is maybe the most sanitized kiss scene Ive ever seen, it was basically only visually alluded to.

If you watch for spicy chemistry and romance, then you just get strung along and strung along all the way to the end, for nothing. ML dies.

Production value, acting, ost were all mediocre, except the FL who did a really good job.

First quarter of drama is hard to get into, and you wonder where its going with this large and cumbersome story. Middle 50% was a solid watch. Last 25% just totally dragged and turned into a cringefest of sappy filler monologues and over the top moments.

It was just a cop out of a romance story, and I really find it a shame I wasted so much time on it.

Love of Nirvana, best my drama

First I would like to thank the cast and production team for producing such a beautiful and touching drama.

Yes, at first I didn't even intend to watch this drama because of the male lead. But I ended up getting sucked into it. This drama is very beautiful with a well-organized plot. As for the main character, The development of feelings and character is very strong, very interesting to explore the story of his life.
For the female character I like that she was initially a free and cheerful person but along with the story she also developed and the characterization of li landy. Come on we don't need to doubt.I really like this drama, for now I might stick to Chinese dramas, because I think their stories are amazing. Oh yeah, the soundtrack of this drama, I love it.

Beautiful, moving series, with actors who deliver a fantastic performance

PLOT: The FL, raised by a master in isolation, runs away to the mountains and meets the ML (masked, at the head of a secret army). He is also a close advisor to the emperor and investigates "suspicious cases" (he wants to clear the name of his father, dead and unjustly accused of treason). His opponent (ML2) is a noble at the head of another army, and his mother is scheming for him to accede to the throne. The 2 MLs will get closer to the FL, fall in love with her and compete for her favors. They will also gradually discover the secrets of the past.

+++ a bunch of great actors: Ren Jia Lun, masterful as always (ღ˘⌣˘ღ), Landi Li and Jeremy Tsui
+++ Coherent, realistic story, with a well-conducted plot.
+++ Flawless production: rhythm, sets, costumes, grandiose landscapes, beautiful fight and war scenes
+++ Great OST

# Sad ending (as Chinese screenwriters like, glorifying the death of heroes who sacrifice themselves) expected in the storyline, but... I don't personally like those. I'm not watching dramas to see/hear about depressing things, with a lot of suffering and no happy ending.

=> Very beautiful, moving series, with actors who deliver a fantastic performance. However because of the ending, I won't watch it again.
********************************************************************
PLOT: La FL, élevée par un maitre en isolement, fugue dans la montagne et rencontre le ML (masqué, à la tête d'1 armée secrète). Il est aussi un conseiller proche de l'empereur et enquête sur les "cas suspicieux" (il veut laver le nom de son père, mort et injustement accusé de trahison). Son adversaire (ML2) est un noble à la tête d'1 autre armée, et sa mère intrigue pour qu'il accède au trône. Les 2 ML vont se rapprocher de la FL, tomber amoureux et se disputer ses faveurs. Ils vont aussi peu à peu découvrir les secrets du passé.

+++ a bunch of great actors : Ren Jia Lun, magistral comme toujours (ღ˘⌣˘ღ) , Landi Li et Jeremy Tsui
+++ Story cohérente, réaliste, avec une intrigue bien menée.
+++ Réalis° sans défaut : rythme, décors, costumes, paysages grandioses, belles scènes de fight et de guerre
+++ Super OST

# Fin triste (comme les aiment les scénaristes chinois, glorifiant la mort des héros qui se sacrifient) attendue dans la storyline, mais ...

=> Très belle série, émouvante, avec des acteurs qui délivrent une performance formidable. Cependant à cause de la ending, je ne la regarderai pas à nouveau.

And ending that will leave you in tears

WHAT AN ENDING!! HONESTLY I JUST CRIED. If that did not move you then you really have no feelings.

SPOILER ALERT:
ML realize that he will never get justice for his family and he decided to do the only thing he could which was to kill the emperor. The emperor truly deserved to die for what he did. Like how can you sacrifice a whole village just for your own personal gain?

That being said, I would love to watch a historical drama with ML where he does not die... (ML also starred in one and only drama, where he died).

Overall great show. Not sure if I want to rewatch it cuz the ending is so sad but just great. And if you can honestly say that this was not a good show then you don't know what a good show is.

I loved every part of this drama except the ending. Ren Jia Lun is one of my top favorite Chinese Actors. The story was indeed exciting and great. Ren Jia Lun, Landy li, Jeremy Tsui did an excellent job playing their characters. All the actors did exceptionally well. I am emotionally broken and here is why...

I've grown weary of the emotional toll that comes with watching Ren Jia Lun in dramas where either he or the leading lady dies. It feels like the producers, writers, and directors often alter the endings to suggest that they might find each other again or to somehow make sense of the loss. Out of the ten dramas I've watched with this incredible actor, this kind of ending seems to be a recurring theme. I truly hope that before my time on this earth is over, he'll have the chance to star in a fantasy drama that ends on a positive note.

Much more than a love triangle

The story shows a simple girl from the hills (with a suspicious identity) learning that the world is not black or white and that every thoughtless action has consequences.

The hand that extends to you is not always friendly or out of pure altruism, and those who seem to want to do harm have a thousand reasons to be suspicious.

Yes, the heroine matures and learns to distinguish the millions of colors between black and white as well as the causes she should embrace.

The two male protagonists are fantastic and their characters are complex and captivating.

While Pei Yan is a nobleman who walks on thin ice and is cunning with master moves, Wei Zhao / Xiao Wu Xia has a noble cause, is suspicious and full of traumas and after overcoming the barrier of trust with Jiang Ci begins to explain to her the twists and turns that each thoughtless action causes….

Life after Love Of Nirvana, Wei Zhao, and Jiang Ci

Overall I would say that this show had me interested 75% of the time but the 25% really REALLY got to me.

First things first credit where credit is due.
1) Li Landy, Ren Jia Lun, and Jeremy Tsui all did a wonderful job at their respective roles and were able to truly bring them to life, these roles felt 3 dimensional and not just 2D.

2) The writers truly fleshed out the Li Landy and Ren Jia Lun's characters. They each had a back story that unraveled as the drama unfolded, their motives were clear, their priorities were set and they did what they set out to do. (Win my heart that is.)

3) Jeremy Tsui was truly able to make me fall in love and hate the Second Male Lead, I don't know if that was the intention but...

4) Yueluo's arc is truly phenomenal from the story line to the development and the future of Yueluo.

The 25% that truly bothered me
1) Jeremy Tsui or Pei Yan and his mothers story could be made into another drama altogether and that could have been interesting instead of roughly meshing together 2 stories. There were parts in the second half of the drama that I was truly skipping because of this and funny thing is it did not take away from the story. If these parts were made shorter and brief it would still have had the same effect desired. I feel like this drama did not do Pei Yan or the second storyline justice.

2) I have not read the book and I will not claim to do so just to prove my point but from my engagement with the viewers who had, it was clear that the drama did not follow the same storyline as the novel. If we assume that that is the case then I do not understand WHY they HAD to give it the novel's ending. For a character who is shown to have mental, and physical prowess, I do not understand why the drama ended the way it did. One situation that I truly found ridiculous was the last episode and everything has gone to hell he says - “Today's story is mine to tell. The Emperor of Liang died at the hands of a sycophant, Wei Zhao.” If you are so keen on telling the story then you need to be *alive* to do that. He could have left, he could have been alive but maybe it's the actors love for sad endings, honestly I could have done without this.

3) Minor details - It truly made be scoff when the emperor reveals who killed Wei Zhao's sister and why. Like Sir are you okay? This could have been SOMETHING but she died for what. Also Pei Yan's unnecessary overbearingness and obsession is rough to witness, I'm just glad he realizes it and moves on. Lastly, one night and pregnancy is a bit much even if it's a period drama like can there be some build up, some fluffy domestic scenes, etc. I have no problem with a pregnancy trope but do it right instead of just throwing it in at the last moment.

I know it may seem like I truly disliked the drama - that is not the case. I encourage anyone who reads this review to watch the drama at least once and skip when you feel like it too. Its a good watch and you can learn a few things from it about life.
