Without a doubt, this is the best Chinese drama of 2023.
Amazing series! This has been one of the best series that I have watched in terms of acting, writing, cinematography and strong characters, never a dull moment . The actors and actresses in this series were amazing especially Liu Yu Ning and He Lan Dou.Characters and character development was very satisfying, that I even feel sympathy towards the villains. Well written script and the musical score/soundtrack is so beautifully done.
It was kind of a bittersweet ending, but a happy one at the same time.
Overall I highly highly recommend this fantastic and very entertaining series.

The Story of Pearl Girl

Bittersweet yet captivating
A poignant and captivating tale, this beautiful drama is an emotional and gut-wrenching experience.Well-written dramas require viewer identification with the character to be truly engrossing. Without emotional investment in the character, the audience is lost. Thankfully Zhao Lusi and Liu Yuning's performances are captivating and convincing, boasting one of the best on-screen chemistries. They should capitalize on this chemistry and collaborate again, this time on a modern drama.
However, some series parts drag on, such as the second couple's love story and the Zheng family drama. The close friendship between Duan Wu and Cui Shi Jiu seems unrealistic, and the male lead character's ending is lazily written. Despite inconsistencies due to external factors, which led to a focus on Chloe Xie's character, I highly recommend this series and give it the highest ratings. The cast, especially in the first half of the series, delivers well-written and acted performances, with exceptional music scores and cinematography.
One of the best this year!

Complex, well done drama!
Joy Of Life, Nirvana In Fire 1 and 2 are dramas that build the audience’s feelings of tension and anticipation as the story develops. Engaging, complex and well written.I’m glad that they added a comedic humor throughout all the episodes. Wang Qi Nian and Xiao en massage scene was hilarious, Tian Yu’s character is one of my favorite in this drama.
Zhang Ruo Yun is not your typical handsome Cdrama actor, but he is funny and charismatic.
All the cast did a great job portraying their characters.
Looking forward to season 2, and hopefully it will not be a prequel, after such a cliffhanger ending.

Miscast Female Lead
I’ve watched so many Kdrama and Cdrama and well aware of actors getting cast in dramas due to their popularity in music industry, I’ve seen it in a lot in Korean dramas.Cheng Xiao is absolutely lacking in looks, charisma and of course acting. For one reason Her face that resembles an animated character due to extensive cosmetic surgery, that she actually look mean and unsympathetic.
Absolutely no chemistry between the two leads because of her being miscast.
She is better off playing Antagonist characters.

One Of The Best Chinese Drama I’ve Seen
A beautiful story of these characters who are extremely broken and abandoned, desperately fighting to find that love and happiness.Yang Zi, Deng Wei, Tan Jian Ci and Zhang Wan Yi, all did a phenomenal job portraying their characters.
The intertwined relationships of not two but four people, was captivating and not boring throughout the entire series. It is impressive how they successfully captured a great individual chemistry between the female lead and her leading men. I was mesmerized and invested in each of her relationships with all three men. I have my favorite and I’m hoping he will be her happy ending and that is Tushan Jing / Ye Shi Qi.
Deng Wei has found the role he was "born to play” which is an ethereal character. He is so beautiful that he sparkles and if he kisses you will sparkles and turn into a Deity. FYI, that kissing scene of him pulling her up, one of the sexiest I’ve seen in Cdrama. The scene with his grandmother passing away and him holding his “baby”. Without overly dramatic cry or reaction, he successfully pulled off a brilliant performance of someone who just felt lost all over again and abandoned. That’s great acting!
His character is the one that broke my heart into pieces.
I highly recommend this drama and looking forward to season two.

A masterclass in storytelling and character development .
If you're looking for a drama series that will leave you both entertained and satisfied, look no further than this gem of a show. Season two raises the bar once again with its engaging storylines, well-developed characters, and exceptional performances. The show's ability to evoke both laughter and tears is a testament to its phenomenal writing and direction. I'm excited to see what the next season brings, and I highly recommend this show to anyone who wants to experience a truly captivating drama series.Cet avis était-il utile?
Romance Drama Chemistry Is A Must
Unfortunately, they failed to build that chemistry between the main couple. It is mainly because of the male lead poor acting ability and performance. He also doesn’t have the look and charisma on an equal level with the female lead.Chemistry is very important in romance drama.
This is another of those series that I was rooting where the second male lead gets the girl. LMX has that conflicted, dark but oh so sexy. The actor did a good job portraying his character and he is also quite charming.
Disregard the plot holes, it is a decent drama. OST is very nice especially the ending song.

A Beautiful Story Telling About A Love Triangle
I actually enjoyed and completed this drama. Their intertwined love triangle that is bittersweet and captivating.Very good soundtrack, especially the ending OST.
I am so glad that ViKi has the extended finale that is a happy ending for Gao Zhang Gong and Duan Mu Lian. It is a satisfying ending that actually fits the title and the music at the end of each episode.
Quality of the production is understandable as this was done in 2013. The fight scenes are outstanding and on a par with the now big budget drama series.
I highly recommend this drama.

Aesthetically and Emotionally Engaging Drama Series
This drama series stands out for its exceptional storytelling, writing, acting, and direction. Li Qin as expected shines in her roles, forging strong chemistry with all three male leads and connections with co-stars. The supporting cast, though introduced late, is seamlessly integrated, drawing the audience in. The series' measured pace and artistic martial arts create an immersive experience, bolstered by captivating cinematography and a memorable soundtrack that leaves a lasting emotional impact.I highly recommend this series.

A Heart-Wrenching and Beautifully Crafted Drama
The story and characters captivate from the start. The actors deliver impressive performances, bringing to life well-written strong female characters like Li Qin's capable lead who balances ruthless assassin and caring heart with ease. Phenomenal actress!Wang Yibo shines in one of his best roles yet as he works alongside an amazing cast that brings this engaging and entertaining drama to life.
A powerful portrayal of resilience and determination set against a historical backdrop makes for an unforgettable drama that tugs at your heartstrings. This heart-wrenching story showcases humanity's greatest struggle and triumph, perfectly depicted in one of the best Chinese Republican dramas I've seen.
I highly recommend this series!

Engaging, Beautiful and Tragic
If you enjoyed Romeo and Juliet, Kdrama Moon Lovers Scarlet Heart Ryeo or the British period drama The White Queen, then this drama is for you.This series will have you feeling emotionally draining but so captivating at the same time, that after you are done watching it’ll be one of those shows that will leave a hole in your heart days after. Darren Wang did a phenomenal job portraying The Wolf. Amazing cinematography, beautiful music/ost that I ended up purchasing one of the songs for my music playlist.
That scene on the bridge, wow!
Well done, engaging and one of the best period romance drama I’ve seen in general.
I highly recommend this Cdrama.

Beautiful and Encouraging Drama!
Equally great and engaging to the original Nirvana in Fire, but this sequel I actually liked it more than the original. This focuses on Family and how your elder generations actions and decisions influence current generations. I am more invested on this because it’s comforting and more personal.All the actors did a great job portraying their characters but I just have to make a special mention of Liu Hao Ran. A phenomenal actor in the making! He was only 19 or 20 when he did this drama and he was able to portray a very convincing multiple stages of emotions and character development.
I highly recommend this drama!
