The Rise of the Phoenixes was the first Chinese drama I actually watched as it was on Netflix which is where I was first introduced to Korean dramas and after watching it and being so impressed with it, I was hooked on Chinese dramas. In searching for top rated Chinese dramas I found this website and joined Viki.com specifically to watch Nirvana in Fire 1 which was an absolutely incredible drama and set me on track to find & watch all the other amazing top historical Chinese dramas with so many talented actors and actresses.

Can't wait for this drama as been hanging out for another Chen Kun drama after The Rise of the Phoenixes, which is one of my top Chinese dramas with both Chen Kun and Ni Ni being so phenomenal in it.

Mu Huai Hu was absolutely fabulous as Eunuch Qin Luan and made a great villain. I can't get that voice out of my head, it really made the character. One of the many things I love about the chinese historical dramas is the fabulous roles, like this one, they have for the more mature actors to display their immense acting abilities. Well done Eunuch Mu Huai Hu, you made this such an interesting drama.

Can't believe there are no reviews on this awesome actor. I joined specifically to comment on his superlative performance in Joy of Life. Loved, loved, loved his sublime performance in Joy of Life, such a fantastic portrayal of his character, Wang Qi Nian, which provided a perfect contrast with the charismatic and magnificent performance of the male lead Zhang Ruo Yun. Tian Yu brought much needed light heartedness and comedy to this brilliant show and had me laughing out loud many times, he was just so wonderful in this role. A very talented actor who deserves a special mention.
