This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

Good story, Not enough for a whole film

It is interesting even when nothing much happens, which is for most of its 3-hour running time. Read full review

There's no way I can possibly love it entirely but I just think its ridiculously bad, but enjoyable at the same time.

Royal family story happened in the era before the famous Tang Dynasty - around 700 A.D. (South / North Dynasty era). Best actors/actresses across the board, love the beautiful but powerful scripts (in partial ancient Chinese language), perfect editing, clothes, music, magnificent settings, love all of them. The love and royalty between emperor and his subject, between general and his army, between prince and his childhood buddy, between prince and his fiance all touched me and made me want to watch multiple times. Great fan the main actors (Lin Shu) and supporting actor (Prince Jing). Cried so many times while watching this.

This series really transcends every other story. It raises storytelling to a whole new level. The love many of these characters have are not the typical selfish love of one person, but a selfless self-sacrificing love for country and friends.Many compare this to the Count of Monte Cristo, calling this a revenge story. They are all wrong. Shu Zhe could have easily killed each and everyone of his enemies, but he doesn't do so. He has even saved the emperor and Xie Yu. What he wants is not selfish, feelgood, revenge; he just wants to clear the names of the deceased, so they can rest in peace. People have also compared this to the Game of Thrones. It couldn't be any different. I wouldn't want any young child watching GOT, but I think many parents will proudly show this to their children (maybe skip the few war scenes) hoping they are old enough to understand and appreciate it.It will be a long time before any series come close to this masterpiece, if ever.

CostumesCostumingYou will love this 54 episode thrill ride. The 2015 drama is based off of Hai Yan's novel Nirvana in Fire and stars Wang Kai as Prince Jing Yan and He Gu as Mei Cheng Su. The drama opens twelve years after the massacre of the Blaze Army at Plum Ridge and sucks you into Mei Cheng Su's plot to put Prince Jing Yan on the throne and right the injustice that happened in the capital as well as on the battlefield so long ago. Too much said, I will be spoiling. All I can say is that once you get strapped into your seat with this roller coaster ride of politics, palace intrigue, romance, and revenge, you won't be able to stop watching. The tension increases with every episode until you are hooked, needing to see the next episode. This drama is hard to turn off. Every nuance in this drama means something. I admire the directors, Kong Sheng and Lix Xue, because there is not a moment wasted. The costumes, scenery, acting, and cinematography are brilliant. Everything about this drama is intelligent and thought through, very well done and enjoyable.

Nirvana in Fire (Lang Ya Bang) is a combination of martial arts, war strategy, friendship, respectful, ways of doing things, history of the ancient, different groups of people and the motive of how to reveal the truth after a war. The story will touch your emotional straight away when it reaches certain part of the stories. I am assured of you watching it will follow me tears down. The martial art is the most superb part besides others. The way they have been trained and those typical movements, it is thoroughly being studied. The beautiful scenery of all really making you feel so good and there are some humors in between if you follow through. I watched it purely in Chinese because I love the original voices of all. Don't forget that there are also some truly bad people villain in marvel as to say, how they have strategist to make the good and honest troop fall into the pool of fire in "May Ling". The pain and sorrows arisen. It also talked about how other higher authority bullied and framed others through physical plans but with "Mei ChangSu" who is brave, most intelligent and a bit sarcastic but with good heart giving advises to the prince - "Jing Yan" once his best friend but this prince really do not recognise him till last. When I watched the first episode, that already leading me wanted to watch the second and so on. The entire flow of the stories really good despite towards the end, a little slagging but it comes back when they wanted to investigate the old case that the King himself had made mistake by listening to the two (find out more). Mei ChangSu is the no.1 leader towards his troop that spreads around all places. Everyone respect him but he is too weak to fight this on his own. His lovely body-guard, a kid called, "Fei Liu" is truly funny listening to his two or three words without a full sentence but he could understand the entire meaning. The brave and beautiful "Mu Ni-Huang" who fights and love deeply that always able to win in each fight. She is a true warrior. Here, you can see, learn, feel, comfort, anger, sad, normal, and etc feelings that you could ever imagine. How do they help each other and togetherness never break chaining them without regret. I have watched every single episode and I felt sad + happy when I watched the last episode. In my mind, it is like I have attended classes to view the history myself even though it is a total different with three kingdoms but had given me the insights of human nature, the kind and warm, justice and truth, the evil side and bonded love and friendship. I love this and therefore I have given a 10 rating.Patience is the key to watch it because all details in each episode truly touches heart and enjoy the entire series.
