LOVED!!!!
I just completed the whole episode of Ashes of Love. And I still can't get over the drama.. The drama was soooo sentimental that you can watch it on repeat after the drama is over. I am emotionally attached to the drama because it WAS TOO GOOD.I regret not watching it earlier.
Everything was so perfect, I loved the acting of Allen Deng, he's too great to be an actor. After watching Ashes of Love Iv become his fan.
Those of you who's hesitant to watch this drama becoz its too lengthy, trust me your not gonna regret watching it.
GO FOR IT.

1.from the story: this series really have a very good and amazing storyline.. it will give you a slow, funny and light story on beginning and then you will find yourself will addicted when the story walk towards the center , xufeng and jinmi love story will make you fall into the story alive and drunk you with their love stories,and the final third part of the drama will make you cry and then end happily. This drama is like a roller coaster that can make you laugh very funny, happy with their love and then crying with them. so i just can said i'm very recommended this series and you will find 63 episodes really worth for this drama.
2. from the acting : all the casts on this drama have a good performance and acting skills but for me of course denglun and yangzi are the best. they really make this drama feel like alive, and make us like live in drama and the most important denglun and yangzi as xufeng and jinmi really have a very great chemistry. even i want to ship them in real life...lol
3.from the music : all ost from this series really good and unique, all the ost has a good singer and good voice, especially sa ding ding with her song " upwards to the moon" really amazing . i like her high voice, it is very beautiful and that make me unexpected, she is yuanzi immortal on AOL.she is very talented.

Love Heart touching stories??? Go for it!!!
Ashes Of Love!!! One of the best dramas I've ever watched... Starting from the very beginning, just loved the way the story revolves... In the beginning, it was like a funny storyline n soon, it turned to be a very heartbreaking n touching story.*As for the storyline, m reducing 1 point as I was heartbroken by the end happened to Run Yu Emperor. If I could change the storyline a Lil bit, I would've changed Run Yu's ending to a happy one.
*Cast, No Words... Every single cast in this drama gave their maximum. I don't think there's a single cast in this piece who'll disappoint u. Personally speaking, Run yu Emperor is my favorite. Luo Yunxi is just really <3... I don't have much words to express how m feeling about Run yu Emperor... He made me cry a lot throughout the drama... He played his role so well that I even feel sorry for him n tried to find excuses for his sins. How he shifted from a kind n gentle person to an evil soul is so beautifully shown n portrayed by him... The main leads were also so superb... Actually, every single cast was superb in Ashes of Love
*Music... we can say that it adds fuel to the fire... even the story n cast itself makes us so heartbroken n the music n bgm adds to it... Especially the ending song by Sa Ding Ding, Idk why, but it gives me a magical feel whenever I hear that... N the song sung by Deng Lun n Yang Zi... music was jus LIT!!!
*I am reducing 1 point from the rewatch value, not bcs it's not worth watching it again n again, but I can't bear to cry my heart out to this level... I just finished watching this drama n I'm planning to watch it one more time... to plug in my
headphones, watch this with maximum sound n to cry really hard...
*Overall, If u are a person who loves watching heartbreaking, touching stories, then just go for it!!! I haven't watched any other historical dramas other than this... Actually, I didn't had much interest in watching historical dramas. I love
Luo Yunxi's acting n so for seeing him, I just gave it a try. N it's worth it!!! At first, I wasn't so hooked up, but seeing the theme song n ending song, I decided to watch a few more episodes, n then it got me... ufff!!!! So so so good a drama that u shouldn't leave without watching it...

One of the Xian Xias which affected me (in a good way) for a while
LIKEThe decision Jin Mi made that changed everything
What Jin Mi did to request something from Xu Feng's uncle
Relationship between Run Yu and Lord Pu Chi
What happened when Heavenly Empress tried to harm Jin Mi in front of everyone
When something protected Jin Mi for the second time
What Heavenly Emperor did for Xu Feng
When Jin Mi did something which hurt both Xu Feng and herself - that scene was when Jin Mi finally gave up
Run Yu's love for Jin Mi and everything he did for her
Relationship between Liu Ying and Mu Ci - I shipped for them
The last statement what Jin Mi told a child about her relationship with Xu Feng - adorable
What Lord Dou Mu said which made me reflected about my own life - the first Xian Xia that had a huge impact to me (second was Miss the Dragon)
DISLIKE
Selfish Sui He who only loved herself

Story: There is no much suspense in the story, if you have already watched many Chinese dramas, you can guess the main plot. The way the story narrated is very good, you will not be disappointed by the story plot. Plans, betrayal, love, sad, craziness???? every element is balanced in the story.
Acting/Cast: Every character in the story has powers, you will not be bored, even this is lengthy drama. I have to say, the actors will take you to their world. They acted well in there characters.
Music: The music is fabulous, it played at right time in scenes. I am searching for the OST now to listen again...
Re-watch Value : Definitely I will watch this drama, not entire drama but the scenes that I liked the most. May be after some days I will watch entire drama again..... not sure????
Finally I recommend everyone to watch this drama, it won't let you down or waste your time. If you are not a fan of dramas which have more episodes, try to watch few episodes then you will realize you have to watch it all.
I have become a huge fan of Chinese dramas, this the best drama I have ever watched.

Ashes of Love got me hooked like crazy!!
Thank you for letting me stumble and fall deeply in love with Ashes of Love. I don't really watch Chinese drama but this one kept on haunting me on Netflix. It's highly recommended!I admire Xufeng's love for Jinmi, it never wavers even a bit. I was on the edge of watching that I wanted to take that Yun Elixir out from Jinmi's so they could fulfill each other's affection. That's how this story affects me. They love each other so much and it's so tender that I could feel all of their emotions deeply. The story and the characters made me cry a lot. All the actors, the cinematography, the costumes, it's really beautiful. I love fantasy but I'm always on the story and the acting of the casts.
How the story go? I have everything on my mind and even stays in my heart but I cannot put into words. All I can say is, with those kind of love.. I was lost.
From the very start, Runyu already knows that Xufeng love Jinmi but he ignores those love for his own interest. That arrange marriage only came up when everything is reveal about Jinmi's parents. Jinmi's concern with Xufeng was there and Runyu witness that, even if that pill is still with Jinmi's body. It cracked when the two were in mortal world. Jinmi finally feel and know what love is. Then there's Runyu.
I saw the pain in Runyu's face when Xufeng told him that he didn't take the Hairy Feather as there's no use living without Jinmi, that everything he want in his life is to be with Jinmi, while him, Runyu, took everything from the two thinking he will be able to win Jinmi. Him realizing how he made Xufeng and Jinmi suffer. I hate Runyu with everything he does there. I know where he's coming from but he intended to do this from the very start thinking of winning over Xufeng. Making him wanting more than revenge when his mother died and when he find out Jinmi's already in love with Phoenix. But Xufeng, he may look arrogant and cold but he has the most sincere and pure heart.. he's so soft that even his mother knows (that's why it was her mother who's doing everything he didn't intend to do). I hate it when Runyu said, "If I met her first.", thinking Jinmi will love him instead of Xufeng since she met him first. But from the very start, Jinmi only likes him as a friend. Then Xufeng said that Runyu didn't do it wrong, he just never scheme (this was when Xufeng said he scheme in love, while love is taboo in scheming).
All the pain and suffering are all worth it in the end.
Xufeng gave up everything just to be with Jinmi, it was his love that made Jinmi came back. Jinmi is happily contented living in a mortal world together with Xufeng even if she can never distinguish colours. They're destined to be apart but love also make a way to find each other again to be together.
Those undying love for each other... wish it also live in the real world. I'm happy that Netflix never give up recommending me this series. This is the longest series I've ever watched and the 1st Chinese one and I will never regret spending time for this.
Ps. If you want to make a review, please ensure to watch the whole series in each and every episode. I just read some judging Yang Zi's character here in AOL. From the very start to end, you will see what kind of character development she made. Those, she has a fiance already but still seeing Xufeng, if you watch the whole series you'll understand why. That there's no love development, there was, if you watch the whole series. That she didn't show some affection and changes, it's because of the Yun Elixir, it cracks and are about to break but Runyu repair it. That, Runyu was like that because of all that happened, yes, but even if he haven't met her mother again and and recall the past, he was already scheming about Jinmi and Xufeng. So I suggest to watch every story, if you missed even a single minute from this, you may also missed something from the story.
Jinmi, Xufeng and Runyu's character 'til the end.
All of the OSTs, OMG!!! Superb!
Excellent!!🖤
Overall rating: 100/10

Respect for Run Yu!!
Only Run Yu really left an epic impression, for other cast roles it was very ordinary. Actually 63 episodes were too long and long-winded. Moreover, the last episode, there was no enthusiasm at all, really anticlimactic .. Jin Mi and Xu Feng caused disaster .. Taishang Laojun who is an important deity and main deity in Confucian and Taoist beliefs instead became a god that could be intimidated, pressured to do things which is not according to Taoist teachings. Too fictional ... For Leo Luo Yunxi, you get my respect for Run Yu's role ...Esta resenha foi útil para você?

Casting chemistry: The two leads have AMAZING chemistry. Deng Lun and Yang Zi are friend for a long time, and Deng Lun said in BTS that being with YZ make him feel like he is young and innocent again. They banter sometime but they are mostly very sweet on screen with YZ being lovely clueless and DL being caring but shy like a little boy.
Acting: YZ role of being ditzy is really hard to pull off without being annoying but she deliver well. Her emotional scenes are top notch. All the actors pull their weight and you can’t find anyone who don’t deliver. My special mention is Yan You, the snake immortal.
Cinematography: As this is mythology, it heavily use CGI. But the director said their set is 70% real set with 30% CGI to make it more believable. Although the background of the sky is CGI but I appreciate them doing the prop properly and did not heavily rely on CGI for everything.
The story: It is romance centric but I appreciate the attempt to flush out some characters motive. The novel was a very light read but cover some heavy topics. Novel and drama are two entirely different medium so I appreciate them adding depth to the characters. Some people likes the change and some may not but it’s up to you to decide.
Comparison to Eternal Love: the closest compassion as they both based on Chinese mythology about angsty love. The story are entirely different but to compare, this drama has much faster pace in the beginning, it slow down around mid way but pick up around the last 10 episodes. There are the same side couples that is associated with the main couple, but ultimately have their own arc just like Eternal Love. The story wise I find it a little funnier and light hearted in the beginning. But the topics it deal with in the later half are actually heavier and more twisted. The costumes are quite similar as well. What I love about both that at first they are simple love story, but they leave lasting impression and make ponder about each aspect of the relationship/ events long after you already finished the show.

The best CDrama I have ever seen!
The story, the characters and the visuals were all amazing. Best drama I have ever seen. I wish I could go back in time and watch it again. In some parts it unnecessarily gave me the blues to be honest. I don't really like tragedies and such but this one was done so tastefully that I didn't bother me that much.Esta resenha foi útil para você?

the main cast!!
this is bomb f!! i love this!!literally falling in love with chinese drama bcs of this.
jinmi and xufeng love story is just too painful, the other love her too much while the girl notknowing at all is just too painful.
also, you could literally see their development esp jinmi, form the naive girl she sito the girl that can tell other people feeling ( when she confronted runyu).
my fav character of this series def jinmi, she is so pitiful...even at the end, she still pitiful...
earlier episode, when runyu still the gentle fish fairy, i like him more than xufeng. but when he become this evil, obsessed man, nah!
i literally dont understand that why people defend his action? bad childhood is not an excuse!! or bcs the actor is a good looking man? i literally want to throw him to the trash bin bcs of how selfish he is, great act from the actor tho.
the music is top notch, still repeat this until now.
i dont watch TMOPB till the end bcs i found that boring :v and totally different story with this, so i dont understand the comparison and similarity.
i still watch this repeatedly tho, again, great drama.

Beautiful visuals with a decent story
After being on hold in my list for over a year i finally finished it and i get it why most people love it while others hate it. I said in a comment that i can't bring myself to love it like most people. I really have mixed feelings about it. So I will start with what i loved the most and then go on to my dissatisfaction and rants. Oh god this will be a long one and spoiler heavy.Production: Clearly this show had a BIG budget. The costumes were totally stunning. The backgrounds, cgi and the show as a whole was aesthetically pleasing.
Music: I am not a chinese speaker nor do i understand the language, so i judge basically on the music, then go for the translated lyrics. The tracks were magical. The music felt more in tune with the show than the lyrics to me. This album is one of my most favorite of cdrama albums.
Acting: The SML and FL are 2 of the actors i really love, but performance of everyone was beautiful and believable.
Story and characters: this is what i want to rant about. Why? What did Runyu ever do to the author? His character had a depth and complexity. He was thoroughly the most pitiful and pathetic character who ALWAYS got the short end of the stick. He suffered so much, lost so much. He was extremely tolerant and patient with jinmi, and loved her so much, he sacrificed so much for her, he did so much for her, but with absolutely nothing in return. It is understandable that he went down the wrong path eventually in the end because he most definitely deserved A LOT better but he got the worst.
Now on to Jinmi and Xufeng. Well i didn't like them. In the initial episodes when she was a little ignorant girl, it was better. She became horrible after she did THAT. She was indecisive and dumb. Even when she thought she avenged her parents, she failed everyone. She sacrificed so much for Xufeng, who practically was the root of all her troubles and Runyu was always her savior. This is one of the less common shows where its FL sacrifices for the ML with the SML endlessly sacrificing for her. I felt that Xufeng had the least growth in the entire series. He stayed the same- a kind, strong, privileged guy with easy life; devoted but filial lover who failed to protect his love from his parents.
Suihe was super evil and got what she deserved. Then come the heavenly emperor and empress. They were the definition of evil and what they got was too light on them. The demon princess was dumb brave and rest of the characters were okay. I must say i loved jinmi's father and his wife.
About the story... well the author obviously loved xufeng and hated runyu so everything that went on during the story were in his favor. I had it on hold for so long because the amount of evil things going on were too much foŕ me to take. The story might have played out differently if the mortal arc didn't have xufeng, she wouldn't have fallen in love with him so deeply. Many people make Runyu look like the villain but what they don't say is how xufeng forcibly kept her with him from the very beginning when she didn't even know about relationships and treated them the same. Runyu fell for her at first sight then it kept growing. It wasn't the same for xufeng who fell for her after seeing her dressed up as a woman. Well i obviously like runyu more so i shipped them. But whatever happened was for the ending to be like that. So everything was wrapped up very well, despite the bittersweet ending.
I would recommend watching it. If not for the story and characters, for the pretty visuals and beautiful music that it offers. And though similar tropes were used in LAR and this, their stories are vastly different.
