A love story having ups and downs

I haven't watched many chinese dramas..but I have my fill of famous chinese dramas..and Ashes is one of them.

1. Story:
If I want to talk about the story then I would like to say it is one of the most beautiful story for any drama lover and nobody will regret watching it. Ofcourse it has a love triangle, 2 evil witches, side characters love story, playful side characters and what not to give you a wholesome package, where ML falls in love with FL and another lead started playing all sorts of games to make her his own but in the end First lead gets the girl.
BUT a major twist in this story is if you can connect to the characters in this story then you will feel that Second Lead deserves audience compassion, STILL he doesn't deserve the girl so NO there is no second lead syndrome in this series.
My heart went to Ran You (second lead) because he always suffered from the hatred of an evil bitch, he was manipulated into hating his own mother still he was looked down everytime beyond his good intentions. So if he started his own manipulative games we couldn't blame him. In his own hatred he started loving female lead but in his obsession of revenge he started using FL which was wrong on his part so he doesn't deserve FL which was good as shown in the part.
First ML though he had kissed FL after she was confirmed to be the fiancee of second lead but I do not think it was wrong because at that point of time both ML and FL started loving each other and both wanted to marry each other not the other way round.
Yeah he notiched FL after she dressed up but she already made her place in his heart due to her cute antics previously so love already started blooming earlier, so we cannot say that his love was bullshit.

Some scenes were dragging on my part but you cannot have a drama if somethings can't be draggy.

I am just disappointed from the ending part of the story.
It would have been way better if fox fairy, snake immortal would have made appearance in the end and moreover a little hug between the main characters or hand holding would have been nice. It was like ML is playing with his son and he forgot that he has a wife which was rubbish from my POV.

Overall it was worth watching, having an absolute rewatch value.

2. Cast:
Each and every person justified their character including villains.

3. Music:
Though only 3 songs were used repetitively but these songs were so good and fit the situation perfectly.

Overall it was worth watching..I have watched it 2 times already.

Heads down to the most amazing drama

I don't have words to describe this series..My emotions are still raw after watching it for 3rd time on repeat.
This is the best and way underrated series of Mainland China.
Story is nothing spectacular when you watch this drama..it is just related to an esport where a guy's journey is shown from a scratch after achieving the most glorious title of the game. Due to his old friend he has to start from zero again but what a spectacular journey it was.
It is not only a journey for him but all those newbies who chose him to be their leader.
This story is all about compassion, team leadership, empathy, strong mindset, respect towards each other, trust and choices.
Everybody made their choices and they worked hard to achieve the goal for the choice they made.
Not only story tells us about team building, but also it teaches us to respect each and every opponent and instead of using mockery when other looses the game, just make a way so that party who lost the game continue to soar their spirits and become better in next challenge.
This story is all about healthy competition and the challenges we have to face in every corner.

OST was the best. Each and every character whether virtual or real was justified and did a perfect job.

Overall I can rewatch this again and again and I will bever get tired of it. Applauses to all the actors, storywriter, director and other staff who managed to produce such an amazing series.
