Nirvana in Fire ( 琅琊榜 - Lángyá Bǎng) is on another league, until today I don't think we see drama with similar quality like them.

Honestly at least from me, we are here tired of popular traffic drama because sometimes they neglected the script and acting. They just throwing big names to gain sponsors and of course viewers traffic. My friend in the business said, "traffic drama is used to boost viewership KPI, user acquisition (because they'll have VIP plan) and attract advertisers also good company image." It's all about business here.

For WOH, why I think people rated it high compare to popular drama, I think it's because even passer by and GP watched it due to its genre, wuxia. Many scenes in WOH are taking references from many popular wuxia drama back then and if you notice the age bracket for WOH audience is older compare to usual popular drama because they feel nostalgic when watching WOH. For people growing up watching wuxia drama in the 90s, watching WOH brought back the memories. Beside that audience also can see hard work and sincerity of the team when creating the content, it shows and it makes audience love the drama more despite many flaws.

A X u is stunning character and unforgettable character TT TT

You finally got it!! Enjoy the JunZhe-ness hahahaah

Yeah, I hope the rating will be steady or even higher because the SHL team deserve it.

Only 2% gave it 1 star rating so it's ok.

I'm now, on episode 4 :)))

For me, better I'm lowering down my expectation and hype over this drama. The casts (if it's true) are visually stunning but for acting I can't comment much. Watched 2 (rumored) main leads acting recently and I don't think they could carry the story well especially for XL character since this character is so complex and having so many layers. I know it's still early to judge but without good directing , acting and script, TGCF will be only becoming another traffic drama with no soul but only visually stunning.

So, for me better wait until it's complete airing someday. For now I'll continue reading and supporting the manhua, because Starember art is awesome <3 <3

Have watched until 10 episodes and I think I'll wait until it's complete for me to finish the drama.
Can't do drama chasing at this moment sadly :(

For the story, I see it's OK but I do understand why people mad about this in Douban. Mostly they are coming from e-sport lovers and people who play the game. It's true, e-sport is very competitive industry and it's not about flower and rainbow. Also the love story is unlikely in this field between players, but HEY! It's drama! We need something different from IRL. We need to watch beautiful female leads and handsome male lead on screen for us to forget about what happened in irl. We need fluff story, full of unicorns and rainbow especially when our life is full of shits lately due to endless pandemic news, political issue, etc.

So for me, I like the story. But if there are certain people who doesn't like it, it's OK. Different people, different taste :D :D :D

Good acting, good story line and good soundtrack too.
Me likes!! On my watching list now :)))

Kudos to SHL team!!!

It's socialist brotherhood they said hahahahahaha

Yeah, it was lovely that time :))))

The show isn't available in iQiyi or WeTV. For show without mandarin chinese subs, you can try netflix. I haven't watched it in Amazon Prime so I don't know.

He did! He starred in Zhao Ge, but the drama isn't airing 😅😅

Surprisingly I like this drama. Lol.
Have watched for 6 episodes and I hope it won't dissapoint me later on.

Also, it's weird watching Mire without Zhang Zhehan as they both usually played together in the drama, hahahaha...

True, blame also my childhood growing up watching old wuxia drama, hahahaha.

He's very talented person and his acting isn't average as he graduated from top acting univ in the country. So sad to see that in a decade of his career he only got recognition by GP after he played danmei character. People said, playing danmei character took you to overnight fame. I don't agree with that, because acting matters also WOH is small IP, unrecognized to many.

I'm happy that he got recognition he deserves now. True, he played danmei character and that character is wonderfully designed and acted by Zhang laoshi thus the character loved by many. I'm also happy that he got many opportunities out there. I'm so emo writing this, lol

Love comes into different style, shapes, narrative and all. If you are looking for a blatant narration of love, I love you's and PDA in a wuxia drama, I don't think you'll be getting it. Love in wuxia drama & novel described in a very subtle way through understanding each other, gesture, and probably a little bit of skinship.
