I finished Nirvana in Fire! I hustled through 54 episodes the last 11 days. I really enjoyed the genius of Lin Shu/Mei Changsu in his mission of revenge & to prove his family’s innocence. However in a future drama, I’m going to need more of a love story and/or more fighting, as well as one revolving around a badass female lead character. Since I finished Nirvana in Fire, I will continue on to Nirvana in Fire 2 (I know it’s a separate and new story & not a continuation). Also please let me know if you have any other c-drama recommendations.

Jingrui is the ideal man to marry - he has that carefree personality yet is very responsible. He has morals & will defend them. He is gifted in fighting and is very caring. I’m so glad that the events that transpired have not embittered his heart. He matures but still carries the same love and pure heartedness that he had before.

Hopefully it did happen - but I really hoped Jingrui & Yujin found out that Mei Changsu IS Lin Shu - the person who spent time with them & taught them things when they were young.

On that same note, I need a one-shot of Marquis Yan reacquainting himself with Lin Shu. I know his idea was terrible of wanting to bomb the emperor during a ceremony but damn, to be that ballsy in your convictions is commendable.

Even though it gave me such anxiety, seeing Mei Changsu face off against Xia Jiang was epic af! Especially when Mei Changsu is in cocky mode because he knows he is the winner. To have such composure and confidence!!!

Although it had to happen, forever FACEPALM @ Prince Jing getting so close to figuring out who Mei Changsu is but never getting there even when Commander Meng or his mom almost gives it away. Though it was hella sad when he cried to his mother on how everyone knew but him, and as his best friend, he should have been able to recognize him! I really wished we could have had more of a reaction!conversation between them about Mei Changsu being Lin Shu. But I guess that’s what Ao3 is for.

Also KUDOS TO EUNUCH GAO ZHAN. For being able to calm his majesty & support Prince Jing. So happy that he is still there at the end! There should be a drama about eunuchs behind the scene bitching about the Emperor & the Court lol.

It was pretty epic to see Nihuang charge in & kill the general to save the Emperor & help defeat Prince Yu’s rebellion. But in the future, I’m going to need a drama with a fucking badass female main character. I empathize with her, but unfortunately she didn’t have enough screen time to make me feel for her as much as I should have?

Which brings me to the point that I didn’t get as emotional with this drama in comparison to The Untamed. I definitely cried most of the last episode but for the majority of the show, I wasn’t as emotional. Maybe it’s because I adopted Mei Changsu’s mindset in focusing on the revenge unfolding rather than emotions? Or I may have forced myself in watching so many episodes each day that I was too tired that I couldn’t get into my emotions? Idk.

That entire scene where Grand Princess Liyang summarized the sins of Xie Yu & Xia Jiang and everyone asking for a retrial was epic as hell! The music was so good. Also the talk between Lin Shu & the Emperor - saddens my heart especially at the end with the Emperor reminiscing his time with a young Lin Shu.

Even though we don’t get much of him, I really enjoyed Lin Chen! It just makes me want flashback episodes on their friendship and also I want to see flashbacks of how his relationship with Fei Liu developed. It could totally be a sitcom at Langya Hall.

I was more sad over Jingyan not having enough time to reconnect and enjoy time with his best friend than Nihuang having only limited time to spend with her love.

My heart broke in the last episode when they trick you into thinking Lin Shu can live peacefully for a short time after his quest has been completed to only have war break out on all borders. I mean the only justification is that he could end with being Lin Shu - military extraordinaire - but it hurts so much. It was great to see him in armor though! Having it end with seeing the egg again & then Jingyan naming the new army - Changlin 😭 😭 😭

Anyways, here is my favorite screenshot. I REALLY NEEDED AT LEAST ONE LONG BRO-HUG BETWEEN THEM ):
