Watching it yet again (4th time I think)... I wish I could give it more than a 10 rating. It is what got me into…
Nirvana in Fire, like Untamed, is one of only a hand full of long Chinese dramas that are so good that you NEED to rewatch them over and over. Something about them feeds your soul. I keep trying to pin point what it is exactly that makes the difference.... Maybe it helps to have big themes of what is good and what is evil? Redemption arcs and/or justice/karma is a real thing? The idea that people who cause injustice will get what they dish back with hefty interest back onto themselves? It fits our desire for equality and justice in an unequal and unjust reality? We love stories of characters who despite all the negative thrown at them, surmount the odds.... and/or they deep down stay true to themselves despite adversity. Idk.....
Wow. It's rare when a sequel is good at all, and this one was probably even better than season 1. I loved it.…
Question: Do I need to watch the prequel BEFORE watching this one? The plot in the first doesn't interest me as much as the 2nd, so wonder if it was necessary?
40 eps?!?!? With only Romance as a tag?!?!?!? I could see 40 eps if the story was about something else with romance being secondary..... but....wha-?? ....really?!?! Imma gonna need some of you brave souls to finish this and give feedback before I dare try :D

Found this again on Viki. Watched it through again.... obsessively three times in a row:D Damn, I get in cute love story moods and THIS story just fits the bill. It is so simple, entertaining, sweet, short (movie length), and adorable. The main leads are cute and the acting is pretty damn good....especially the awkward/shyness/hesitance that the actor who plays Lee Wan exudes....he so good at acting out these scenes I'd love to see him in another series. Sometimes you just want to be comforted in a single night (long series not always wanted!) by a sweet UN-OVERLY-COMPLICATED-FOR-NO-REASON plot. Sometimes the BEST story is a simple one. ALSO THE DATING SIM SCENES AT THE END OF EACH EP WERE SO GREAT! :D
Usually I don't pay much attention to age differences in this kind of story 'cause it's all fiction and the rules…
I feel same way watching anything with Vampires in it..... They are usually WAAAAAAY older than the human (or newbie vampire) protagonist. I get the involuntary creep vibes....but try to push through since fantasy (helps if actors look same age). But MUUUUUUUCH more difficult when actors look waaaaaay off in age too.
