People indeed have many different opinions about bromance.

Usually when the C-govt has set up such regulations, all parties including the fans must comply.

If the fans disputes over this issue still exist [big scale disputes, annoying, and escalating even questioning the govt. decision] then the artists and their management will definitely take the brunt.

Based on The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants, Bai Yutang was Zhan Zhao's acquaintance especially when he needed assistance from the famous Five Rats.

I don't think its purpose is to lean towards the bromance side but probably to emphasize that later in the future The Five Rats [especially Bai Yutang] would occasionally help Bao Zheng to investigate cases for The Kaifeng Prefecture.

Huo Linglong was a character that created by this novel's author.

If it is based on the original The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants, the only Jianghu female character regularly mentioned was Ding Yuehua who in the future would be Zhan Zhao's character.

This is indeed a male-centric story. This is originally a classic Gong'an novel created during Qing Dynasty which sorry to say, not much of women's involvement in the men's world.

[You know in ancient China, court politics, jianghu, and etc underestimated women so much.]

So, this is NOT Bromance nor BL story.

Just because there is no romance doesn't mean it has to be categorized as bromance or BL.

I'm a bromance/BL series watcher and books reader as well.

Let's not focus to generalise each drama as BL/BG/GL/Bromance. Sometimes no romance means no romance, friendship/brotherhood/sisterhood then let it just be like that.

Thank you..

No transmigration no rebirth [at least rebirth as their own self, is still acceptable] and historical.

I actually have read lots of historical books, but like the previous comment, my preference is BL novel.

If you are still interested, you can send me a message.

Thank you
😊💐👏🏼

It's quite interesting series.

I'm curious because lots of the cast are those actors who had roles in Strange Tales of Tang Dynasty universe.

Not much episodes, short duration, interrsting stories, not awkward actors [at least they really can act]

Overall for short series, it's worth to watch to kill your free time, especially when you run out of good series to watch.

Despite all the flaws, for me personally, The Tang Mist is still the best Di Renjie's series, and Feng Shao Feng is my best Di Renjie.

Hopefully there would be the next season because it seems like there might be continuation of his journey.

Fingers cross 😊💐🤞🏼

I remember watching this drama during pandemic through dramacool website.

Ding Yuxi deserves to be highly apreeciated because of his well performance as Dongfang Bubai.

My rating would be solely given to him.
😊💐👌🏼

The one who shot arrow [by judging at the arrow position which look like shot from higher position] was most probably Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao is the court official, he couldn't kill the royal family. If he did kill the prince then the consequence would be huge, that's why Bai Yutang took the shot.

It seems this series might follow The Joy of Life 1 and 2 [5 years apart]
🙄😔

Hahaha...
Although Nirvana in Fire is really good but it's quite heavy with the palace political intrigue.
So probably not everyone can stand such 54 episodes.
If you are also into such genre, you might as well check these 2:

- The Longest Day in Chang'an
- The Wind Blows from Longxi

If you are also into heavy political intrique, you might check these 2 as well :

- The Longest Day in Chang'an
- The Wind Blows from Longxi

You're welcome, happy to share.. 👌🏼

- Towards The Truth
- The Vendetta of An
- Nirvana in Fire
- Judge Dee's Mystery
- Kill My Sins
- A League of Noblemen

Slight to none romance. You can check the descriptions on MDL or Dramawiki.
Hope it suits your preference.
😊💐👏🏼

It's most likely Bai Yutang.

Zhan Zhao wanted to kill the old prince but the consequence would be huge if he did it, so Bai Yutang took the shot instead.

There's no romance nor slight romance. It's more into chivalry and siblinghood among the trio. I think there's no romance tag above.

😅

He was right, every era has its own Zhan Zhao [although the longest one still the one played by Kenny Ho]

Surprisingly, this era could bring the great Zhan Zhao, even better than some older generations.

After Huo Linglong got the prescription to cure Zhan Zhao's poison, she gave it to Tang Tian Hao and Bai Yutang.

Tang Tian Hao told Zhan Zhao that he still couldn't find the most important catalyst to create the antidote.

Bai Yutang somehow could figure out what the missing catalyst is. It's the dawn-dusk cocoon, the one that his brother found on the mountain.

So it can be concluded that they finally suceeded in creating the antidote and Zhan Zhao was cured.

This whole info and hint can be seen on the last episode through some flashback scenes and also there's the cocoon shown after the candle scene.

Hope it helps clearing out your confusion.

People should not compare this series with other same-type series. Seriously don't, because this series is based on a classic wuxia/gong'an story [The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants, firstly well known in 1879 before finally published in around 1880s] even much older than Jin Yong's wuxia novels.

So, if you want to be fair, those other wuxia series author was the one who followed this.
[Jin Yong once said that one of his inspirations for writing his wuxia novels is The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants]

No need to compare or badmouth or even give low ratings if you dislike it.

Each series has its own strengths and weaknesses.

Each series deserves to be respected.
😊💐🧡

Right, that was the name.

They did. The missing catalyst was what needed on that prescription.
Tang Tian Hao told about this when he and Zhan Zhao had a private conbersation. [It's shown on the last episode flashback]
