Ashes of Love

This is the best xianxia drama I have ever watched. Firstly, the story is drawn out beautifully. To be honest, the beginning did not appeal much to me. I felt it was good, but not to the extent that makes you stay up all night for. But around ep 4/5, there is this uncontrollable urge to complete the entire show in one sitting (I finished it in 3 days). The character development is really good in this show and it feels like you are growing along with the characters. The speed was perfect, every episode is memorable and there are many iconic moments in the drama!

The actors and actresses also did an amazing job. They brought me through a rollercoaster of emotions and even all the supporting characters did such a great job that pulls you in without even knowing. This show was filled with laughter, happiness, sweetness. As the story continues, I become very invested into the show and couldn't resist completing the drama while hoping that it does not end so soon (Despite being a 60+ ep drama).

The songs were also great!! They are really apt for the drama and they accentuate all the scenes that the music was played making it even sweeter/ more touching.

I really do not know how to emphasize further how good this drama is!!! The plot, the acting, and songs, and the whole 'drama world' was done so perfectly. It is the kind of show you will want to rewatch so many times, but think that it is so valuable that you do not want to rewatch so much that the feelings for the drama will fade. Not only so, but it is so rare that the ENTIRE show is soooo rewatchable that even the heart-wrenching scenes are done so well that you want to rewatch them. (Usually when I rewatch shows, I try to skip the emotional scenes and only play the happy and funny scenes)

Once again, this show is REALLY REALLY VERY DAMN GOOD. Please watch it!! You will not regret! I really think it deserves more publicity and love from everyone although I know it is well-received in China.

I've only started watching Chinese fantasy TV series recently and I got immediately hooked up. This is not my first one but definitely one of the best in terms of scenery, costumes, CGI, virtual effects, kung-fu fighting and obviously, impeccable acting!

When I started watching the first few episodes, I thought this was going to be a very light comedy. I did not expect it to turn into an odyssey. The journey is incredible and I advise you all not to read any spoilers because the many unexpected events made the story truly amazing.

I didn't know any of the actors apart from Yunxi Luo whom I've seen in another TV series named "The Screen Foxes". There are probably four leading characters: Jin Mi, Phoenix, Fish Fairy (Run Yu) and the Demon Princess. However, you also have the leading villains who did an incredible outstanding job as well: The Queen, the girl leader of the Bird Tribe, the evil demon who wants to take over the 6 realms and the graceful Mutsu:the demon princess's fiance (I apologies if I don't know their names but they are not available in the IMDB database). Overall, every single actor did a spectacular job, as a matter of fact, I still have to find a Chinese fantasy TV series where the acting is not convincing.

I am very impressed by how Jin Mi, Phoenix and Fish Fairy can switch their moods to turn from completely lovable and peaceful to extremely enraged assassins or totally broken-hearted. The way they manage to show feelings and vulnerability is so realistic that at times I found myself crying like a baby.

If you are not afraid of exploring the barriers of human consciousness to explore new territories of fantasy where romance, magic, kung fu and the mystery of life converge, don't miss out on Ashes of Love

My initial thoughts when I saw this on Netflix I wasn't too sure if I'd like it. After the first few episodes I still wasn't hooked, but I'm so glad I stuck with it. It has twists and turns I never expected and it got serious later on (I don't want to spoil it). The love triangles are excellently played, the acting is incredible. I'm so in love with this drama! Hands down the best Chinese drama I've ever seen and the best drama I've seen so far. I finished 63 one hour episodes in 4 days and left me wanting, yearning for more. I looked up the songs after and found out they were sang by the lead actor and actress. Not only can they sing beautifully, their on screen romance is heart breaking but so heartfelt. I couldn't believe the details they added to the story and how it was all tied up at the end (I wish I saw the marriage fox god in the last episode but hoping he will be in the second season. I ended up rewatching the last 2 episodes 3 times! Please give it a go if you aren't sure, you won't regret it. The 40-63 episodes were so heart/tear jerking. Looking forward to another season even though the leads are just guests in it.

Honestly I'm not really into C-drama, but this one really caught my attention, and I was lucky cause it turn out to be amazing, worth watching and I just can't get enough even weeks after watching the final ep, the fever won't go down.

The OTP chemistry on and off screen really drawn me to this story. same age and they're good friends in real life. 😍😊

Was one of the best chinese dramas ive seen loved the main couple . a rollercoaster of emotions. A must see.
