Why people keep saying this drama has no romance? I think there is romance its just not the main focus. NiHuangs's…
@QueenCherry,
I don't know who to ask this but does Yu Jin (Marquis Yan's son) have a wife? I recall someone asking him if he has a wife, and he replies yes in front of his house in one of the episodes near the ending episode. I totally forgot who asks him, but I think it is an older man and he is a good guy.
I think I've gone crazy imagining things or what? I went to look at the episodes near the ending episode, and Marquis Yan's Birthday party, and still I couldn't find it. I swear I saw this scene before. I can't just make this up. He replied YES to that one guy.
I also skimmed through many episodes at the beginning but can't find it or maybe there is such a scene but it's another character not Yujin. I mixed up Yujin with another character? ????
The only girl that viewers kinda ship Yu Jin with is Gong Yu who obviously doesn't like him. I find that in this drama, for some not-so-relevant characters, they just leave them out. It'll be cool to know that he has a (random) wife that isn't shown on screen. His relation with Gong Yu and Prince Ji is interesting. Sometimes, I think Yu Jin likes Gong Yu for her music only and nothing more.
sorry to trouble you but I saw you on NIF page and here and thought you're everywhere there's NIF so you must be NIF expert. LOL sorry.
since your review is recent, please excuse my reply, I wanna tell you that if you meant to put a 10 ratings but can only put 1.0 because of problems, then please delete this review coz it seems you love this drama and many fans will agree with you. That way, it won't affect the overall ratings (popularity) and maybe you can try reviewing again another time.
I kept reading so many recommendations and positive things about this drama, but when I tried it the fist couple…
Hi JadeDarcy,
I did the same thing. I had watched 12 episodes of Nirvana In Fire, dropped it (nah, more like put it on hold for 10 months LOL). After that I completed Ten Miles Of Peach Blossoms (TMOPB), took a month break (watching other dramas), and then back to NIF (from the 12th to the 54th episode marathon). Luckily I still remembered most of the things happening before EP 12 so I was set. I was too lazy to start it from the bottom (1st EP) so I started from where I left it, the 12th EP.
I was like, "f**k it! I wanna finish it for the sake of finishing it." Have you ever had that urge? I wanted to complete it ASAP coz I had started it already 10 months ago/almost a year ago. It's shameless if I can never finish it.
Now I'm rewatching NIF from the 1st-54th episode. Ok, this is the part where I'm replying to not only JadeDarcy but the rest of passers-by in case they need tips to watch this show. I won't put spoiler below. There is NO spoiler. A few things to note from this watching experience are:
1. I did not have much knowledge about the Ancient Chinese drama theme (the names, huge casts, confusing who is who, the rankings, the imperial titles, the culture, etc) before viewing this show. Hence, that's why the drama might seem boring.
2. This show is the kind of shows that is made for REWATCHING. The rewatching value is over 9000. Most of the complainers, who said they couldn't get hooked before the 20th Episode mark or below, needs to know that after they get hooked and watch all the episodes till the end, they will come back to rewatch; AND rewatching is even more juicier than the first time viewing. This is why I say this show is made for rewatching. It's just not made for the A+ first time viewing experience because most non-open-minded (more like impatient people) viewers complain "it's going nowhere for them, no destination, no goal", "it's boring to them", etc.
3. This show is the kind of shows that you won't get hooked no matter what (exaggeration but it could happen to some people). You need to be patient and not lazy. I was hooked after EP 14.
F***ing long series that is over 50+ episodes like this, its sh*t is not condensed. During my initial viewing I was lazy, so if you're lazy, it's over for you. You'll find it's boring if you're used to watching 16-20 episodes korean or other asian romance dramas. IF you are into romance, then it's even more game-over for you. In that case, I'd recommend TMOPB, if romance is your preferred genre.
Coincidentally, NIF is just like TMOPB for me, I was hooked after EP 14th mark. Long series that have a lot of casts need time to introduce the characters.
My tips:
- Just bear the beginning episodes below the 20th episode (at most). You might even get hooked below that, and try to relax when watching it, don't think to much about who is who, let it flow, then complete it, and now it's your second time viewing. The second viewing will answer all the Qs.
