Xiang Mi Chen Chen Jin Ru Shuang

I've only started watching Chinese fantasy TV series recently and I got immediately hooked up. This is not my first one but definitely one of the best in terms of scenery, costumes, CGI, virtual effects, kung-fu fighting and obviously, impeccable acting!

When I started watching the first few episodes, I thought this was going to be a very light comedy. I did not expect it to turn into an odyssey. The journey is incredible and I advise you all not to read any spoilers because the many unexpected events made the story truly amazing.

I didn't know any of the actors apart from Yunxi Luo whom I've seen in another TV series named "The Screen Foxes". There are probably four leading characters: Jin Mi, Phoenix, Fish Fairy (Run Yu) and the Demon Princess. However, you also have the leading villains who did an incredible outstanding job as well: The Queen, the girl leader of the Bird Tribe, the evil demon who wants to take over the 6 realms and the graceful Mutsu:the demon princess's fiance (I apologies if I don't know their names but they are not available in the IMDB database). Overall, every single actor did a spectacular job, as a matter of fact, I still have to find a Chinese fantasy TV series where the acting is not convincing.

I am very impressed by how Jin Mi, Phoenix and Fish Fairy can switch their moods to turn from completely lovable and peaceful to extremely enraged assassins or totally broken-hearted. The way they manage to show feelings and vulnerability is so realistic that at times I found myself crying like a baby.

If you are not afraid of exploring the barriers of human consciousness to explore new territories of fantasy where romance, magic, kung fu and the mystery of life converge, don't miss out on Ashes of Love

Was one of the best chinese dramas ive seen loved the main couple . a rollercoaster of emotions. A must see.

Well, i just completed watching this series, and to be honest, I liked it. It was not bad. This was my first time watching a series where i didn't know anything about the cast or the story. My way to watch a drama is to first research the story then find out about the actors who are working in the project. if nothing seems off then start the first episode. I picked this drama up randomly because I was bored and had nothing to watch. I didn't do any research on it but it came as a surprise to me. I am used to drop long dramas where story take turns and fumbles from its original route but to my amaze I watched it all in a week. The story moved a little slow at first but it picked speed in the middle and towards the end it became addictive. Every actor did their parts fabulously but the one to shine the most in this series was the Jin Mi character. It was portrayed beautifully by Yang Zi. I have become a fan of her after watching her performance in this series. Overall the summary of this long review is if you give this series a little bit of time towards the first phase of this drama, you will enjoy watching this series.

I wasn't sure that I would like this drama, but after committing myself to seriously sitting down and watching it, I was hooked. I love Deng Lun and Yang Zi, what chemistry! Their steadfast love for each other stood the test of time, death, interference and love triangles. The lead actors were the best and the supporting actors were impressive too. This series is addictive; you will watch it again and again. Kudos to everyone associated with production. What a super wonderful series!

This is the best xianxia drama I have ever watched. Firstly, the story is drawn out beautifully. To be honest, the beginning did not appeal much to me. I felt it was good, but not to the extent that makes you stay up all night for. But around ep 4/5, there is this uncontrollable urge to complete the entire show in one sitting (I finished it in 3 days). The character development is really good in this show and it feels like you are growing along with the characters. The speed was perfect, every episode is memorable and there are many iconic moments in the drama!

The actors and actresses also did an amazing job. They brought me through a rollercoaster of emotions and even all the supporting characters did such a great job that pulls you in without even knowing. This show was filled with laughter, happiness, sweetness. As the story continues, I become very invested into the show and couldn't resist completing the drama while hoping that it does not end so soon (Despite being a 60+ ep drama).

The songs were also great!! They are really apt for the drama and they accentuate all the scenes that the music was played making it even sweeter/ more touching.

I really do not know how to emphasize further how good this drama is!!! The plot, the acting, and songs, and the whole 'drama world' was done so perfectly. It is the kind of show you will want to rewatch so many times, but think that it is so valuable that you do not want to rewatch so much that the feelings for the drama will fade. Not only so, but it is so rare that the ENTIRE show is soooo rewatchable that even the heart-wrenching scenes are done so well that you want to rewatch them. (Usually when I rewatch shows, I try to skip the emotional scenes and only play the happy and funny scenes)

Once again, this show is REALLY REALLY VERY DAMN GOOD. Please watch it!! You will not regret! I really think it deserves more publicity and love from everyone although I know it is well-received in China.
