So, I just binged and got up to date again (episode 50) by skimming a lot of episodes because I have no interest in what's happening with He Xia, and the plotline between the OTP is keeping me interested. Angelababy has really grown on me haha. I'm really loving the supporting characters of Yang Feng/Ze Yin and Zui Ju.

Honestly, historical/fantasy c-drama subs on Viki are only as good as the channel manager and translators, and they're all volunteers. I'm so glad Dramafever is taking over Viki :D

Watched up to episode 20 so far, and it's not a great piece of art by any means and sometimes borders on "so bad it's good" (e.g. Tarzan scene) but it's entertaining, provided I fast-forward through pretty much anything that isn't about the main pair. I don't know how it's going to go another 40 episodes though...

Yeah, I found him SO creepy and invasive. He refused to respect her personal space and was really pushy, and touched her just to prove the point that she didn't like physical contact? And the way that he turned up at her workplace in the middle of the day after they broke up... I was so glad when her boss punched him in the face.

I watched on YT without subs, sorry! I think there might be subs on Viki though?

I just finished it! I thought that the ending seemed super rushed, even if there were a few nice scenes squashed in. The drama would have benefitted from one more episode :( I hope there's a season two though!

What didn't you like about the book? I've read the book and seen the drama, and I liked the drama much better. I can tell you if the parts you didn't like have been changed or not haha.

Ahh I liked this drama so much, even if it was frustrating. I love Li Chuan so much.

Xue Qi is the only main character that we haven't gotten any backstory yet... Yang Zi is a pretty good actress, but I feel like they're trying to give her a Bai Zi Hua vibe.

It's off to a really good start, but then again, most Chinese dramas don't start to crash and burn until a decent amount of episodes in. Yang Zi is so pretty ;u;

I just finished watching this, and it's become one of my favourite dramas ever ;u;

The trailer is out, and it looks pretty good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JF6-9H8_3eg

I know, I didn't like it lol.

Cheng Jia Yang is a nightmare boss, but I'm really liking it so far! Unfortunately, Wen Xiao Hua and Gao Jia Ming's subplot is bland as hell.

I haven't seen LYF in anything since Sunny Happiness in 2011, but I love ZLY and YZ so maybe I'll finally see LYF in a costume drama...

50 episodes is actually pretty normal for a Chinese historical drama, especially ones set before the Republican Era. I thought that it was pretty good, but the way that the love triangle played out wasn't very typical and the pacing wasn't that great.

I've just started watching this, and it seems really playful and cute so far!

I remember seeing in an interview or something a long time ago that Wallace is the lead male, but his character isn't her "true love."

Your logic makes no sense. 1 Litre of Tears has been out for longer, and attracts a larger audience than Nirvana in Fire because of the story of the drama itself. A lot more people watch modern day Japanese dramas than historical political Chinese ones. The ratings are calculated from the people who watched the drama and rated it. If Nirvana in Fire rated higher than 1 Litre of Tears, then it means that the proportion of international fans on MDL who watched Nirvana in Fire and rated it highly, was higher than the proportion of 1 Litre of Tears viewers who watched it highly. It's just how it works, no foul play. If you think the number of rating should be taken into account, take it up with MDL staff.
