With Nirvana in Fire I had to use a Character chart with photos, names and relasionships between each of them…
Lol oh my gosh, yeah Nirvana in Fire was definitely hectic. Hmm...I've never really thought about it, (like thought about what I could do to help myself remember or know who they are talking about), I normally just stick through and after a couple of episodes I'm able to remember who's who by name when they refer to them. I'll be honest, I don't know if I have the energy to put the effort in the pausing the drama and checking out the name of the cast mentioned on MDL, but at the same time it does get annoying when I don't know who they're talking about and it can mess with my keeping up with the plot. So maybe I'll give it a try, will see. Thanks for the suggestion.
This drama has a sad feel to it, the opening and closing OST give off a sad feel. I wonder if this will be a happy ending.
I ask the same question as some of the commenters have, how is this drama related to TMOPB? Who is Jiu Chen to Mo Yuan? Who is Ling Xi to Zhe Yan? And where are the high gods of TMOPB and the heavenly father, aren't they immortal? Well I know they can die, but all of them though??? Why are we saying it's related? I heard it was, but I don't see or understand how.
Oh boy episode 1, this is one of the reasons it was a struggle for me to get into the first couple of episodes of Nirvana in Fire, because of all the names, couldn't keep up. Already with this episode can't keep up with the names, seriously I couldn't even grasp the MLs name. When the FL's father kept on saying "if Jiu Chen wasn't dead", I didn't realise he was talking about our ML lol it's that bad.
It's a beautiful looking drama visually. And it's related to my favourite drama TMOPB, so definitely will be watching this one and looking forward to it.
Personally I generally prefer oldish looking MLs, really struggle to connect with or get past the babyfaced boysih looking MLs especially if it's a historical. Although I do admit this one does look a little bit too old to my normal preference, but still not bad, so I aint complaining, I'm cool with him. Only thing is that he doesn't have that grace, or that presence, or that aura of power that I felt and saw when watching high god Mo Yuan or crown prince Ye Hua. But I will try not to compare and just try see him as him and not through Mark Chao's lenses
Will await comments and reviews for this one. Don't normally go by that but with this one I think I just may. Didn't really feel their story on TMOPB or them as a couple, I know I'm in the minority here but I literally always skip through their scenes whenever I rewatch that drama. So I'll be on the look out for especially comments and reviews from watchers who were like, if there are any lol.
This is not fixed yet right? Because I just saw another rumor about who's gonna play the male lead, and it's not…
Ahh that sucks. That would really really suck. Been looking forward to this drama just for him. Uhg I guess we'll just have to be strong if it's not him. And wait to see if it is him.
These wishful thinkings of fans, getting our hopes up like that. Can't be playing with people's emotions like that. Eish but I hope it's him.
The trailer really is not saying much, have no idea what's going on based on it. Don't read the plots. Really honestly am drawn to this one by the main leads.
Lol I just had to read this review when I saw that rating. I've been sitting on the fence where this drama is concerned. I put it on hold at episode 7. But I kept on trying to convince myself to give it another go because of all the rave about it but still, I still get that feeling that it might not be all that great, I don't know why. But still I don't think I will write it off completely based on the 7 episodes I have watched, I will put it on hold and hopefully one day when I am willing to waste 63 hours of my life and not regret it, I will give it a go. I almost dropped Ten Miles of Peach Blossoms, can't remember on which episode but somewhere below the 10 but above the 5, what kept me going was the rave about it, and it's been a year since I watched it first time and I still can't get over it, my drama watch list is still low but I really do think it will remain my favourite with the increase of the watchlist. I just found your review halirious, especially because I'm still unsure about this one. Lol I could literally feel your tone, you sound so annoyed. Lol 'nincompoop'...I died... @ ma sha's comment, also learnt a new word--didn't know that was a word, thought you made it up, literally went to the dictionary for that one. Yeah the female lead also, I am not feeling. There's just something annoying or putting off about her but still 7 episodes is still little to completely write her off. But I feel you with how you feel about her from the episodes I've watched....'nincompoop' lol
Although I didn't get hook until the 2nd try...I was the opposite. It slowed down for me towards the end. The…
Definitely is a good drama. I'm glad you were able to get into it second time around.
As much as I hated the villains, I appreciated the fact that they were smart strategists also. Yeah the MLs people were just awesome and loyal, nothing breaks my heart like betrayals.
He needs his own drama as Fei Liu once again lol. I don't know how many times I rewinded his fighting scenes. As an actor he has other stuff though, I haven't seen any of his other stuff though.
Although I didn't get hook until the 2nd try...I was the opposite. It slowed down for me towards the end. The…
Yeah Fei Liu was just too adorable, couldn't help but love him...and those fighting skills. He even shocked Xia Jiang lol.
I definitely understand why the beginning had you engaged more than the end, the not knowing, the lure of wanting to know. Toward the end you already knew who the winning team will be, it was definite, so it no longer had that angsty biting your finger nails feel, that keeps you glued, wanting to see the next episode. Understand even the ffw because in a sense you already know how this is going to go. But getting to that point of that win, that journey, those strategies was just beautiful and watching the conclusions and end of all the bad people I enjoyed. Like it was a beautiful ending. Hence even still enjoying and appreciating the last couple of episodes. Those episodes made the ending complete and full. Like even with the loss of a life, you are still satisfied.
Finaly decided to give this one a try. And I was not disappointed. It really is a good movie. I loved how the female lead was able to have a presence/feel of hardness but at the same time vulnerability. Someone with her situation you'd understand why she'd have both and I feel like she gave off that feel well. The storyline is nothing out of the ordinary but it was still sweet and simple. Male lead "Kento", first time watching him. There's something or some expression that he kept on doing with his lips/around the the lip area that really rubbed me off the wrong way at times, like it really irritated me, don't know why but it did. Made him look weird, made him look like an idiot at times...like eish...almost put me off his character. Felt like male lead's acting was average. Loved the female leads acting. But otherwise, it was a good movie, I enjoyed it.
Hmmm...I don't know...something mann, I'm not sure. But it just lacked something. I feel like I was able to at least try and connect with the storyline and characters because I watched and loved the anime. I feel like the movie is a skeleton, and having seen the anime and watching the movie with the anime in mind gave the movie flesh.
Really couldn't connect with their emotions. Couldn't connect with Kou's loss and his anguish over that loss. Wasn't completely moved by Futaba's fight to see her friend (Kou) free from his grieve. It all just seemed or felt forced and shallow and empty.
I do wish though the anime had the same ending as the movie. (I know it's not about the anime...but I just had to) Funny enough though even if in the anime they didn't end up together but you saw and felt their chemistry, the movie for me is the opposite of that, really honestly didn't feel their chemistry.
This is such a nice simple movie. No unnecessary drama, straight to the point. Sweet, simple connection and love between the couple. I must say though as sad as the ending was, it was really a beautiful ending, a satisfying ending, they ended the movie well.
Longest two hours of my life. Why? I really don't know because I still enjoyed the movie. But it just felt looong for me. I enjoyed the movie. It's a chilled movie. No unnecessary drama, no immature FL, no arrogant stuck up ML. I liked it. I'm just not sure about the ending though. I don't know why but I'm not 100% ok with our ML declaring his love to the FL at the end like that. A whole two years. Nice, sort out your career/baseball, push until you succeed, do you boo. But a whole two years. Then you confess, then I throw myself in your arms...like "oh finally". Nah fam, miss me. I found that a bit selfish and self-centered on the ML side. Isn't relationship about doing life together? Life and dreams is not going to stop just because you start a relationship. If you're can't do both then I'm not sure.
xD u just said what i was going to say like omg whats going on
Lol. I just find it hard to drop movies, otherwise I would've dropped this one. And I came to this one because of Tsuchiya Tao. Even though her character and all the rest lacked everything--story, development, substance, etc, still suffered through this movie because of her.
Watched the first episode on youtube on Croton, second episode is missing some subtitles. Where else can I watch with subs?
Hmm...I've never really thought about it, (like thought about what I could do to help myself remember or know who they are talking about), I normally just stick through and after a couple of episodes I'm able to remember who's who by name when they refer to them.
