I really like this drama because of Deng Lun's performance. The story line is interesting though I found characters of Jing Ran and his mum rather boring. I would give this series a 10 if Shao Peng Cheng has more screen time rather than concentrates on Jin Ran and his mum as Deng Lun's performance is truly amazing and engaging.

TBH I didn't want to watch this drama when I came across it in Jan 19 when I was searching for a good drama to watch. Ashes of love was one of the top 10 recommended drama of 2018 but at first I somehow didn't fancy it after reading the synopsis and saw the promotion posters. I thought it was going to be one of those fluffy and sickening romantic drama which I really don't like. However, after watching most of the recommended drama such as Legend of Fuyao, TMOPB, King's Woman, The Flame Daughter, Secret of the Three Kingdom and I was running out of thing to watch so I gave AOL a try. At the start I couldn't get into the story and dropped it couple of times but I kept on seeing AOL on the top 10, top 15 lists of a MUST WATCH series so I gave it one last try and to my surprise it is now my favourite Chinese Drama of all time even exceed my previous fav - Nirvana in Fire. When I first saw the promotional posters I really don't like the look of Deng Lun but after just the first few episodes in I was in awe of his presence and performance. He is truly a God of Fire! I really love this series and I kept re-watched it so many times. I love the beautiful love story between Jinmi and Xufeng. Truly amazing!
