Thanks for the comment and for reading my review 😊! Glad that I'm able to capture what you found enjoyable in the drama!

This is a helpful review! You've managed to write a balance view on the story and the characters. I like that you gave updates on some episode turning points, giving us ideas on the story and characters' development, but without giving away too much, i.e., major spoilers. I tried to avoid spoilers but it's hard for this drama, unless I don't read anything at all 😂.

I'm currently watching this drama. Your review (and some other comments/reviews), along with the story's premise and the main couple's visuals and chemistry (which I can see even in the posters), made me decide to give it a shot 👍. Thank you!

Have watched up to episode 21. So far, there is good build-up of the story (both the romance and political/military aspects) and character development. I like Shawn Dou and Chen Du Ling's portrayal of Xiao Bei Chen and Lin Hang Jing, respectively. Episodes 19 & 20 are really good, and they are turning points in their relationship and the political events. As much as I was annoyed with Xiao Shu Yi, especially in the first few episodes, what's good about her is she dared to confront Lin Hang Jing in defense of Xiao Bei Chen, and makes LHJ realizes things. Though sometimes she goes overboard because of her bias against LHJ. I'm halfway and I know there are still many ups and downs coming, so let's see.

I definitely recommend Nirvana in Fire! 👍

I'm 4 episodes into this drama. His bratty sister, Xiao Shu Yi, is so infuriating. Hope her character will get better.

In relation to my comment above, these are just some of my takeaways:
1) People/things are not always what they seem.
2) Love comes in different forms. It can be romantic, familial, or seen in friendship.
3) Sometimes, it takes a while for justice to be served, but when it comes, it's worth the wait and the hardships.
4) What ZHY says towards the end is a fitting wrap-up, “Any place full of love can be my home.”

Hi! Agree with paxxie here. This drama touched on many themes - quest for justice/revenge, longing for a family, mother-daughter relationship, friendship, romance (slow burn), etc.

Hi! They've been through a lot together, from Danzhou to the capital, so their dynamic is somewhat different 😊.

I'm a fan too! This drama has captivated me from start to finish. Btw, I like what you said about "still waters run deep" 👍.

I thought so too! That's one of the first things I noticed at the start. He looks a bit like him in some angles. It could be due to his styling in this drama (hair, get-up, etc).

Saw this dropped in iQIYI yesterday while I was watching another drama. Looks interesting. I will check it out!

Hey! Thanks for the comparison. I also like the 3-part HK movie series "A Chinese Ghost Story". I will check this out! 😊

No worries 👍.

I didn't say she's not good in other dramas. In fact I like her! I'm just saying she's really, really good in this one.

Nice! Thank you! 😊

Imo, Chen Du Ling did great here. I like how she portrayed Zhuang Han Yan.

Here's the OST in Spotify (if you don't have the link yet):

I absolutely love the OST especially the 3 main songs! Been listening to them repeatedly while driving (sometimes even when not driving). It's my new fave OST 😊.

Glad that you love it! 🥰
