I watched just episode 1 for now and i really like it! It's actually my first drama of Ahn Bo Hyun and i am surprised by his good acting! Hope it will not have much romance later on since i kinda avoid the genre, but for now, it seems to have a bit of all: police, crime, corrupt system, comedy, family drama with possible past childhood issues, and what might actually be a good sibling relationship!
Since Heaven's official blessing donghua season 2 is confirmed to air in October, I guess our hopes should be up! Considering that when the BL ban started, even animations stopped, this is a good news! Only issue is that HOB is from BiliBili. If tencent wants to try the waters, i think they will wait for HOB animation and the reactions, and if all is green, they will air Scrum Villain or Thousand Autumns, which are their own produced animations. And only after that, they will maybe try with a live-action. Crossing fingers that 2024 will be a bountiful year for us!
Ahh..I will miss this drama! Very very good wuxia, just like it should be. All the main characters did their job and the actors' compatibility was very well done. If only we could get more dramas like this. The brotherhood reminded me slightly of Nirvana in Fire and maybe that's also why i was attracted so much to continue watching. Hope that with the popularity this one has, the producers to take note and adapt more novels like this was from, rather than those with multi triangle romances...which we have way more than we need. For who needs brotherhood, camaraderie, well executed battle scenes, comedy on the sides to atone for the drama and not much romance, this one is to watch!
Finished the 1st episode and it's quite cute! Nuea might as well prepare his own wedding at this point!:)) Prapai...now we can see that all his friends are straight up flirts:))) Cannot deny that i got into watching this for LITA cast, but i will end up staying for clueless Nuea and interesting and mischievous Yiwa! Love how the actress eyebrows are so expressive :D Mame sure got us into her marketing play, by introducing the first wedding
Is there a novel? Because I can't find anything at all on it. If you have a link, can you share it please?
Sorry for the late reply! If you look on google with this 谢长留 菖蒲, you can find on douban info that it's a book released in 2004. Link here: https://book.douban.com/subject/1904430/ At least that's what google translate got me when i looked it up at that time. It was probably never translated and the novel itself might have been taken down since then in a purge of danmei things.
Not long ago, i finished watching Doctor Prisoner, and one of the plot spoilers to say so, is one of the characters…
:( Dramas nowadays are for sure very well monitored...I hope for this one is just a delay in regards of youku not knowing where to squeeze this in, since the drama itself doesn't had topics that would bother the government
Why this hasn't got it's distribution license yet?I have a special interest in watching this drama as it's about…
Not long ago, i finished watching Doctor Prisoner, and one of the plot spoilers to say so, is one of the characters having Huntington disease! Very good medical revenge drama to watch while waiting for Love is Panacea! I also wonder tho why they haven't aired it yet...
:))) It's funny how some of your are still optimistic that this will air, even after the popularity of TTEOTM. My bet would be that tencent will keep their bl adaptions on the shelf for this year again ( and this includes donghua's also such as Thousand Autumn and Scrum Villain. We will know for sure if the restrictions are actually lowered if youku will ever get the permission to continue airing Justice in the Dark, which i am pretty sure they are radio silence with the hiatus because they are being told to shut it. I'll return to my seclusion and pray for the best:)))
will winner of king air first? or immortality? or eternal faith 🤭
I would bet Winner is King to air soon. Actor Li Hong Yi is a pretty hot actor at the moment after Wulin and Blood of youth so unless Tencent is truly an idiot (big possibility!!!!) they will air it before end of April. Unless someone gets into another scandal....-__-.
Eternal faith...no chances this year with so many productions issues those guys had; maybe 2024 if we are lucky!
And immortality:)))) unless someone pulls some strings and airs all episodes in one go, i think we can cultivate to nirvana with no issues in our way:))) Of course, during cultivating we can always do our daily checks over here:))) it helps to strengthen our core!
This is one drama where all actors just know what they are doing! And believe me when i say that it's rare for this to happen! No meaningless romance, all thriller at the end of every episode that made me binge it all! I don't know what rating this had when it aired, but i never see it recommended to be watched which is a shame. The portrayal of Na Yi Jie was a one of a kind, and it's superb how he is serving revenge and getting everyone involved in his game of cards!
Loved the drama and characters but i never understand what purpose kim's character was? Why was he so interested…
I might be wrong since I haven't completely read the novel ( and don't think i ever will), but from what i skipped thro, in the novel it's kinda implied that Korn kinda makes Kim his actual second hand, like he is prepping Kim to be the 3rd secret force in the organization, more ruthless and who keeps both the major and minor families in place. The drama tho...they changed so many things that you never know in what direction they actually go to. From the snippets I was able to read from the second novel, it's hard to predict if Kim is actually a spy in favor of Korn or if he is double playing everyone and is at Kinn's side.
Anyone who read the novels and that could spoil Pakin's story? I read online that the novel's name is Try Me, but I cannot find any information of it in english:( After seeing him so mentioned in LITA, I wanna see more of him, maybe even a continuation of this one!
Does anyone have a good theory or explanation as to why this show is named "Nirvana In Fire"?
Probably bad English translation ( as they tend to do with most title translations) since the Chinese one is LangYa Bang - the ranking of LangYa, which is the ranking that bought the attention to the MC from the other princes that were competing for the throne.
happy ed ?? or sad ed ??does the main lead end up together? or did they die ??
Bittersweet realistic end, not tragic, but not happy either. One of the male character dies, but that was a given considering his health issues. There is slight to no romance in the drama between female and male character, so don't watch this if you are looking for romance. It's mostly bromance, political plotting, check-mate type of drama that keeps you captivated.
Overall, I really enjoyed this drama. It's definitely a 9.5/10 for me. The ending is about what I expected due…
Ahh, unfortunately, the drama doesn't follows the novel exactly, reason of why Fei Liu way of acting is not explained. If I remember right, in his past, when he was a small normal child, he was stolen away from his family and poisoned. Since he was saved by MCS and healed by Lin Chen, so I would say it's not the actor's acting (the actor is actually really good if you check his better known dramas), but how he needed to portray a sticky child who is mentally ill that protects the one he saved him. Too bad the drama left these details out..
My tummy is full from so many melon seeds:)) One full year filled with melons...Mr Penguin...have mercy on these lowly mortals! We don't know better but to beg for more although we are full...
Anyone who has any information regarding the 3rd season? Re-watching season 1 has been my comfort for quite some time now:D. I know that it was announced last year that there will be one, but can't find more information while using Google Translate:))) Interested to know which plot and what generation they will concentrate on!
The more they delay it, the more chances of it being shelved for years with dust to sit on it...Hope Tencent realizes that the longer they wait for the "things to quiet down", the more time the government has to put more laws against airing dramas such as this...They should just air it quietly, 6 eps per day for every day so that it airs all episodes fast and without much fanfare from fans. Also..the least we trend, the better! So i hope people will stop trending it on both international and Chinese social platforms..
