Could be much better drama
The drama starts off pretty good but as the story progresses the pace slows down,the plot lacks intensity and there is no room for character development.This show could be written better to make into a good drama but rather was written as a light hearted drama which rarely brings few smiles.All the actors were good though in their acting.
It is a only one time watch for me.

Nirvana in Fire Season 2: The Wind Blows in Chang Lin

Story of morality and righteousness
Nirvana in fire 2 had me really hooked from the beginning to the end.Not an inch extra or an inch less, everything was perfect in this drama including the pace,story and screenplay.As a sequel to Nirvana in fire,I personally felt that this drama dealt with family relations,emotions, responsibilities towards the country and the people and moral values.
Xiao Pingzhang,the elder brother is a very respectful,responsible,sincere,honest, righteous person who is the epitome of a good som, husband, brother, general and most importantly citizen.From letting his little brother to be carefree,to balancing the affairs in the court he shoulders it all without going against his values and principles.Huang Xiaoming was perfect in his role.
Xiao Pingjing,the younger one,is carefree,joyful and playful but never lacks from his responsibilities.I liked the way how his character transforms into a matured,calm, responsible person in the later half.Liu Haoran has nailed his role perfectly.
Tong Liya as the loving and caring Qian Xue,wife of Pingzhang,is very pleasant,gentle, supportive lady of the house.
Zhang Huiwen as Lin Xi is quite impressive.She is composed,calm,focused on her work and profession,rarely gets disturbed by emotions and is very matured.
I liked the romantic track between Pingjing and Lin Xi which was quite decent.
All the others, including antagonists were good in their roles.
While Nirvana in fire is a political based drama,this drama though has political issues, but largely based upon emotions as the main point.
All the scenes were written well,the story was gripping till the end.
The plot engages and involves you in the story of Xiao Tingsheng and his two sons and family and how they battle against all the struggles both on the battlefield and against the people who want to see their downfall.
Indeed,this is one of the best Chinese dramas I have watched.
There are a few scenes in this drama which are worth to rewatch so this is definitely on my rewatch list.
A beautiful story that leaves an impression on you.

Truth exists,only lies are invented!
He Fei and his wife are on a trip celebrating their wedding anniversary,and mysteriously hid wife goes missing.But then,a woman claiming to be his wife shows up,but he does not accept and insists that she is not his wife.Then he meets Cheng Mai,the lawyer who takes up his case and the rest of the story deals with the dark secrets that unfolds before you in a most bizarre way.
Well,the investigation process was good but a bit confusing.It could have been much better for the intense and suspenseful plot that it has.
The twists and turns were good,though the final one is not expected.
Zhu Yilong,Ni Ni and the rest actors were good in their roles.
Well,the movie once again brings to light the concept that,a truth can never be hidden and lies need to be remembered as one just makes them up.
A truth is always a truth.
A good one time watch.
You will not be disappointed for sure.
I suggest to watch it.

A tale of truth and revenge
Hu fei,played by Qin Junjie,loses his parents at a young age and believes that they were murdered by his sworn uncle,the martial hero,Miao Ren Feng.He sets out on a quest to avenge his parents death,and meets Yuan Ziyi,played by Liang Jie,who is a very studious,sincere,upright person who stands for justice even at the cost of her life.Together,they encounter and bring down a tyrannical lord who had been the cause of suffering of a town.
Though Hu fei develops feelings for her,she restrains herself and sticks to her original plan of becoming a nun.
I liked this part of Junjie and Liang Jie,loaded with incredible actin scenes set in the backdrop of ancient China.Both of them excelled in action scenes particularly,apart from acting.
Then he meets Hero Ren Feng who lost his sight.In order to cure him,he meets Cheng Ling Su,played by Xing Fei,in the poison hand medicine valley.
The latter part focuses on finding out the truth of his parents death,kingdom and its politics,poison valley and it's hidden conspiracies and making the martial world a place for and of justice.
All the actors gave their best performances.
From the beginning to the end,it was truly engaging with not a single boring moment.
Action scenes and martial arts fights deserve a special mention which are fantastic and delightful to watch.
Truly a worthy watch.

Unearthing mysteries!!
Lan Jue,known as Peizhi,the vice minister of rites does things in his manner which seem to be not suited well with Zhang Ping,an impoverished yet talented detective,who does not give up on finding the truth,even at the risk of his life.But both of them have secrets buried in their past which are finally unfolded after they experience many life and death situations and a strong bond of undeterred friendship is formed between them.
It really kept me hooked from the beginning to the end with major twists and turns being uncovered at right times.
The way Zhang Ping investigates a case is very good.He is always determined to find the truth.
Bothe the actors Jing Boran and Song Weilong were perfect in their roles.
The plot and the screenplay were good.
A very engaging drama with character and relationships development.
I liked it.

Till the end of the moon is a story about the Devil god who slaughters all the Immortal sects in which there is only one surviving immortal Li Susu who travels back 500 years entrusted with task of killing the evil bone,which in return will prevent the awakening of devil god.The plot was good,all the actors were perfect in their roles. The only role that annoyed me was Ye bingchang.
Costumes,sets,music,pace, direction everything were good.
Luo yunxi and BaiLu were good as a couple.
I would highly recommend this drama.

Excellent show all the way!!
After a long time after this drama released,I decided to watch this show and I was not disappointed,not even for a single second.The protagonist Yun Xiang sets off on a revenge mission for the massacre of his whole village.I must say,though this is the first time I am watching Chen Xiao drama,I am really impressed with his acting skills.He gave an outstanding performance.From a person who befriends only for benefits,to a person who values emotions and relations and a master of strategies,he portrayed each and every emotion effortlessly.
Rachel momo as the female protagonist was fierce,caring,emotional with exceptional martial skills.She too was good in her role.
The other actors who portrayed Su Mingyu,Ke Menglan,Ten taels of gold and all were good in their roles.
I particularly liked the actor and role of Mo Bufan,bank owner and his friendship with Yun Xiang.
The twists and turns were good.
The way the story was portrayed and directed was interesting and intriguing.There was not a boring moment in the drama.
Overall i would really suggest one to watch this drama.It is excellent in all aspects and is a winner all the way!!👍👌

Good drama
This is the first time I am watching a drama of Zhou Yiwei.He is an excellent actor I must say.His acting as Di Renjie in this drama is perfect.I liked the acting of the actors Ji Ta(Qiao Tai)and Zi Ling(Ma Rong) also.Their roles were good.
And the story is all about solving cases in the reign of Empress Wu Zetian as Di Renjie gets directly appointed by the empress herself.
Though I felt 2 cases were dragged,all the others kept me glued to this series.The investigation process,finding clues and logical reasoning were well presented.
All the other actors were good in their roles.
Fighting sequences were also good.
All in all I liked this drama and I am waiting for the next season too.

Excellent drama!!
This is my second drama of Zhang Han after watching the four infamous deputies drama.The drama concept and storyline is very good.This was the first time I have seen such a type of concept.Befire this,I never knew about four mythical creatures (azure dragon,vermillion bird)and their star mansions.
I was really excited about the plot and gave it a try.
Trust me,it was really a good watch.
First,the characters development was good.All the main characters are the mansions of both the creatures.All the actors acted very well.
Costumes,music,CGI,interiors,settings were good.
A special mention to Zhang Han for portraying the negative role,Xin yue hu.His way of carrying the wardrobe he wore was very good.Also,the way he portrayed both the roles who are quite opposite in nature was really nice.Kudos to him.
Overall I would definitely recommend this drama.A must watch👌👍

Intriguing drama
When I first read the storyline,I was excited very much.After watching the drama,i felt it was the most different type of genre and plot that I've ever watched of all my 60 Chinese dramas of different genres.The plot is quite interesting.
Jing tian portrayal of Si teng is probably one of the best performances.Her way of portrayal of emotions,costumes,her attitude and her pain , everything about her was excellent.
This drama has all-horror,emotion,betrayal,mystery, determination,love.
It kept me hooked from the start.
The story was unpredictable.
Vin Zhang and the other star cast performed well.Everything else was good.
This drama haunted for me a long time,that I could not forget it's scenes when I went on a forest trip
Overall an excellent watch👍

Good wuxia drama
This was my first Chinese drama that I watched.It was relatively a new genre for me to watch.The story was though not extraordinary,it was interesting enough to keep watching further episodes.It was hilarious as well as intriguing.
The leads chemistry was very good.
All the other cast acted very well.
The music, costumes , locations were good.
After this drama,I started watching more Chinese dramas.
Overall a good watch.I would suggest anyone planning to watch this drama,watch without a second thought as you will not regret watching.

A good watch
The plot of this drama may be a one, that we already have seen many times before, like the struggle of women to pursue their careers, their fight against many injustices in the society, and the hardships they face while they try to make a living; but the way the story presents itself makes it a good watch👌Meng Ting Hui, an orphan who was brutally beaten and tortured in her childhood and also loses her sister Xiang in the process, is determined to study, write the imperial exam and become an official, fights her way through all the atrocities and difficulties she faces, and also gives her best in investigating and eliminating the evil in the country.
On the other hand, Ying Gua, the young emperor is determined to remove corruption, and all the kinds of evil in his country while establishing peace.
Both the protagonists are stubborn, focused, dedicated, determined, sincere, honest in whatever they do. Their persistence to rectify all the injustices and bring villains to justice was very good👍
Wu Jinyan as Meng Ting Hui, was very good in her acting. As always, she shines in such kind of roles who maintain their inviduality along with relying on only themselves and not others.
Liked the performance of Chen Zheyuan as the Emperor.
All the other actors were good too.
Loved the friendship of Fu Zhi and Meng Ting Hui and how they stood for each other in difficult times.
Liked the mature romantic track between the Emperor and his subject, Meng Ting Hui.
The only downside I felt, was sometimes, the decisions made by Meng Ting Hui, may not seem reasonable and also stupid, but anyways her peraistence and determination to rat out all the villains who cause all sorts of evil in the realm and her sincerity to see the case to the end was very nice👏. Atleast, she was much better than those male officials qho do nothing but slandering others.
On a final note, THE ROYAL BETROTHAL, may not be an outstanding drama or masterpiece, but definitely, it is a WORTH WATCHING DRAMA.💯
I thoroughly enjoyed watching it.

Started strong but lost interest gradually
Pursuit of Jade starts on a strong note, with beautiful landscape settings, strong FL who makes her living for herself and her little sister by butchering pigs, as her parents pass away, despite the criticisms she face from her fellow villagers.She comes across ML who is saved by her when she finds him unconscious in the snow, which is the main backdrop of the Lin'an town.
The first few episodes were very interesting with a little bit revelation of the ML backdrop as Marquis Wu'an, the FL facing house issues from her relatives, her constant worries regarding money and her sister, while the ML trying to relay and receive information through the falcon.
There were few interesting moments where ML stands up for FL in various situations in the village as he agrees to become her "matrilocal husband".
Now this is where exactly I started losing interest, as it has taken ages for Xie Zheng, ML, to come out of the village and even disgusting is that, almost till ep 26,he kept on lying about his identity to her and also had made his men and army to fabricate many lies. I didn't understand any logic in this cat and mouse game of Zheng, since he loves her so much, why can't he reveal his identity in the later episodes?
Also, I gradually lost interest in the romantic conversations of the main leads and started skipping them to a point, where I dont know what's going on between them, either arguing, fighting, or trying to sort out?
Another major problem for me is Zheng, the mighty Marquis, even after knowing that someone wanted to kill him and somebody is trying to kill Fan Changyu, did not put even a single step forward in investigating these matters. Here and there we find him planning some strategies for war, but at the end he is not the one who fights or kills but Fan Changyu, a "self-made overnight heroine".
And coming to Fan Changyu, initially I found her quite capable, strong, righteous, amd trying to make a living, but once she steps out of the village, she is " the great female warrior, who without any training, can kill generals, who fought hard battles woth just 2 strikes".For me, she really turned into a ridiculous character and lost complete interest in her.She is capable of everything, from bringing rice to meat, to killing rebels and traitors, without a single scratch on her or years of training!!!
The only storyline that made me watch this far is Qi Min and Yu Qianqian.I wanted to see how their story comes to an end along with their son. Simply liked Deng Kai's acting. For me, he and his brother are the only saving grace.
Also, the Sui brothers were more interesting than the main leads. And as for the main villain, nothing serious has really been shown, so I dont know.
On a final note, I felt it a Wasted Opportunity, which lost its potential as it progressed.

Thrilling and intriguing time loop drama!!
Mobius is a well crafted and well directed drama.The plot itself is very intense and engaging with unpredictable and suspenseful twists and turns.
The way the makers have dealt with both genetic research and time loop is really impressive, because it makes you anxious, nervous, and tensive, as the story unfolds.
I liked the way how Ding Qi, the male lead, has used his ability to remember incidents from previous loop, to solve the same problems that occur in the next loop and tried to change the outcome of many situations.
Bai Jingting, as usual, amazes us as Ding Qi,with a small witty and comic nature combined with logical analysis. His acting is phenomenal. From action scenes, to humour and subtle romantic scenes, he performed fabulously. 👏💯
Janice Man, Song Yang, Liu Yi Jun and all the other cast were perfect for their roles.
A special mention to the whole team of police under Duan Zheng,who gave their all to solve the case of Moma.
Finally, Mobius, imo, is an edge of the seat thriller that keeps you hooked, right from the first episode itself with mind blowing twists and suspenses.
A MUST WATCH DRAMA!!
