The Flame's Daughter (2018)

I saw Dilraba Dilmurat in another Drama escaping me right now and just fell in love with this little darling. She is so cute in her acting style I am really a fan.

I did not expect to fall in love with Vic Chou and Yin Xue's love for Lie Ru Ge. His ability to love her and let her come to her own decisions was great. I don't know many people with that much patience to let the other grow. That being said it was very painful to see all he goes through waiting for her to remember him.

I really enjoyed the relationship of Lei Jing Hong and Dao Lie Xiang. That made the waiting of the Xue and Ru Ge almost barable.

I was disappointed in the ending. I think it was very selfless and I get that but being American I just am maybe to selfish and wanted to see a happy ending for the two.

The costumes were good. The sets were believable as well.

I was heart broken for Yu Zi Han and Zang Feng but glad with the mutual respect that they were left with in the end.

Overall, this drama is not all bad. There are holes in the story and poor costume design; Don't get me started on Dilraba's different shades of red costume. It's like one of the worst costume design for a period or costume drama. And her earrings, what is that? It's not even aesthetic! It's just so bad. It's one of the worst part of the drama in my opinion.

Now, the drama itself is not that bad. Like all period drama, it started out good and I was waiting for that episode for Zhang Bin Bin to appear. He's not the main male lead in this drama, but the main reason I watch this drama. After that, the middle part gets draggy and long. It started to pick up again the last 15 episodes or so. There are many side characters, and I do enjoy their character development, especially Lei Jing Hong and Dao Lie Xiang. The ending is a bit confusing to me, and I read several comments how people get the ending after watching several times. So not for me! I get confused and this is the first and last time I watch this drama. I couldn't go through and waste another 52 episodes trying to understand the ending. So, it's not a rewatch for me, ever.

The OST on the other hand is great. I could listen to it over and over again. I like the opening song and two other songs that's playing several times throughout the drama.

Interesting storyline

I think this drama overall is pretty good. It's well acted and the story moves along but the love interests don't and this bothers me. I hate seeing Feng spinning out if control which makes no sense as he becomes undefined, and that creepy woman hanging onto him is so icky. Lol. But I love BinBin so I hope for a good ending. I m not crazy about Xie as he keeps acting desparate, lies to Ge'er and does really dumb things to push the relationship. I identify w his behavior as only being selfish in what he wants. All 3 men in Ge 'ers life are jaded. Even the Prince eventually. But at least he tries. I'm trying to hold interest to finish the series at around ep35 and hope that if Ge 'er doesn't love any of them she will just get Flame back for herself... will see. I think she could bring Feng back to reality and be a better match though as he just needs to find his true purpose. Eh maybe they will kill him off too. Who knows. Lol. I did like the elders in this series. What a fine cast of older men playing fathers and heads of state etc. Very fine casting there. When you watch this many episodes in you become part of the 'family' and begin to hope for good outcomes so I hope the bad guy gets his due in the end. Lol. He is a creepy looking one. Anyway overall it's a pretty good drama, I would recommend it if you can stand BinBin in a 'bad guy' role. I m not liking that though. Ge'er is very good and I think she is well worth watching and enjoying in this drama.

No need to waste your time by watching this drama

No it's not because of the actors, or actresses of this drama that make the show bad. It gets bad because of the storyline, and the characters are so nonsensical. The male lead is described as someone who has no respect for women. The male lead is from a spiritual sect but he sets up a number of brothels. He even forced his feelings on the woman he liked just because she was very similar to the person he loved in the past. And what's even weirder is the female lead willingly accepts the main character's attitude who is mean to her. What irritated me even more was that the second male lead, and the third ultimately gave up the female lead to the misbehaving male lead (especially to women)
The only thing that touched my heart was the affection of the third male lead (Yu Yihan) for the female lead (Ru Ge). Yu Zihan was unable to hear, and walked since childhood. Ru Ge, who is his younger brother, is the source of Yu Yihan's joy. Their relationship was very close since they were children. Even the first words that Yu Yihan heard were Ru Ge's words. And the first thing Yu Yihan said was Ru Ge's name. Even when Ru Ge was reading a book, she only wanted Yu Yihan to read it to her. Yu Zihan is heartbroken when he can't do anything to save his loved one (Ru Ge) from death. Therefore, Yu Yihan had the desire to acquire the ability to hear, and walk so that he could protect those he loved from then on. Even Yu Yihan was willing to lose his hearing, his walking ability, and his ability to see one of the reasons to protect Ru Ge. The female lead might marry the third male lead if the male lead was not present. If you don't like stories about unrequited love, then don't watch this drama. Or you will be heartbroken like me.

The story could have been interesting - an immortal seeking his reborn former love. Acting was generally good but there was no chemistry between the lead actor and actress.

All the romantic save the damsel-in-distress scenes by the lead actor did not work as it should. Strangely the crippled prince in the story seemed to have more chemistry with the actress instead. The chemistry between the lead actor and actress often play a major part in the success of the drama and this had fallen through miserably. Some parts where the lead actor tried to flirt with the lead actress were quite cheesy.

The ending is rather poorly developed and explained. Mysteriously the hero of the story returned with the heroine waiting for him in this place of a different time dimension.

Most beautiful OST

When I first watched this I only knew Vic Chou as someone from F4 fame. His initial appearance didn’t impress me; as he seemed a bit round in the face and his character Yin Xue is a bit strange and Yin Xue’s story didn’t seem to join properly with the plot’s timeline.

But wait… be patient and by the end of the drama I cried for Yin Xue (not because he died, don’t worry this is a happy ending drama) I kept rewatching the last episode to see his expression. This guy either knows he is very charming or he is quite playful by nature. So cute!

Story-wise at first it seemed like a typical jianghu drama with endless fighting to be the leader but the real story is a multi-layered story across lifetimes. Brotherhood, Insecurities. Ignorance, Selflessness, Obsession…all played out beautifully in the name of love.

Lastly the OST is so beautiful that I am so glad I know enough Chinese to read the lyrics and sing them everyday whilst driving my car 😊

This was a beautiful drama. Zhang Bin Bin and Dilralba Dilmurat always doing a great job as always. The best actor here is Zhang Bin Bin, his chracter is beautiful, sad but strong at the same time. Dilralba's chracter was okay, her acting is exellent but the personality of ru ge was a little bit weak, and weird. The story is okay, theres some scenes that are boring but is okay, its a good drama overall but I was expecting more, also Dilraba and the main lead had no chemistry at all, even though his chracter was beautiful. The villian was amazing , his acting skills were great. But I have to admit it, I watch this drama mostly because of Zhang Bin Bin and his acting, its not a bad drama but its not so good either

Achei tudo uma obra prima. A riqueza de detalhes dessa série é impressionante. Você consegue compreender muita coisa e identificar outras, como por exemplo os cenários. Cada personagem tem sua importância de modo que você não esquece o nome de nenhuma, inclusive de alguns que aparecem bem menos como os outros dois príncipes (seus nomes são parecidos e, mesmo assim, você sabe de quem estão falando). Fizeram algo muito bem bolado e de fácil compreensão mesmo com tantos detalhes e tramas enlaçadas umas nas outras. As relações familiares são interessantes de acompanhar, assim como a amizade e lealdade é sempre bem notória entre personagens.
Enfim, eu fiquei maravilhada porque são 52 capítulos e não fiquei entediada em momento algum. Até nas ausências do Yin Xue o drama consegue te manter presa e interessada no que se passa. Não perde o ritmo, é dinâmico, tem vilões conspirando, traidores, vilões sendo eventualmente "bons", tudo o que um bom drama pede e tem direito. As lutas são bem empolgantes, e a trilha sonora é linda.
A gente se derrete por alguns casais secundários, e pelo principal torcemos e sofremos com ele do começo ao fim. A história do romance principal é daquelas fortes que transcendem o tempo, com mistérios e devoção.
Yin Xue é o badass pi** das galáxias do jeito que a gente gosta, mas passa por uns maus bocados tb. O mais legal é que ele é bem excêntrico, não perde a pose e a zoeira, mas também é sério quando precisa, e claro, super sagaz e inteligente, o típico ser que já tá digerindo a polenta enquanto geral tá colhendo o milho. E bom, é o Vic Zhou né, nem preciso dizer mais nada. Por sinal, eu amo mocinhos mais excêntricos e "não-perfeitos", que não sejam os típicos príncipes cheios de integridade e pouco expressivos, que vemos em muitos c-dramas. Foi ótimo ver que o Yin Xue se encaixa num tipo de mocinho que me agrada, badass, excêntrico e não-perfeitinho.
A mocinha é demais, eu realmente adorei ela. É forte, dura na queda, bonita e desejada por muitos né, rainha. As lutas dela são as que mais empolgam, ela realmente deveria ter lutado mais vezes, especialmente usando o chicote. Você se apaixona por ela quando ela chega toda maravilhosa pra resolver a porr* toda.
As demais personagens, como disse, todas possuem sua importância. O príncipe Zi Han se destaca com uma inteligência e estratégias que mano, acho que nem o Yin Xue consegue superar muitas das vezes. Ele foi muito crucial, embora também foi o pivô de um problemão aí pro Yin Xue né kkkkkk.
E outro que gostei muito e me surpreendi com a repercussão dele foi o Lei Jing Hong. Acho que ele foi mais perseguido e devastado que a própria mocinha na trama kkkkkkk. Sério, você não dá muito pra ele no começo, acha que será um secundário maneiro e só, mas olha, fiquei besta de ver o quanto ele esteve envolvido em quase todas as tretas, sendo que muitas delas ele era o alvo mesmo. Personagem bem cativante, por sinal (mas shippei ele com a mina errada, uma pena isso, mas ok né).
Até o boss vilão é do tipo bem capaz de ganhar nossa simpatia. Sério, não consegui odiá-lo, ele era estiloso, excêntrico e poderoso demais, digno de ser admirado por isso. A única coisa é que ele era um obsessivo que não batia muito bem né, maaas, não odiei nem um décimo do tanto que odiei aquele ridículo mestre da casa, Yi, cobra demais minha gente, pensa numa vontadede entrar na tela pra socar um personagem. Pois é. Tem desses.
Não vou falar do Bin Bin friendzone aqui porque, apesar de lindo como sempre, ele foi uma personagem que não me marcou muito. Mas teve gente shippando errado né, eu que não fui, não sou besta.
Enfim, a resenha ficou longa e acho que já disse tudo o que eu podia e queria expressar. O drama me prendeu do começo ao fim e me deixou admirada, encantada até com mínimos detalhes. O final não é tão fechado assim para algumas das tantas personagens, mas foi satisfatório em se tratando da trama central, do que realmente importava ali.
Em vários momentos deste drama eu fiquei aflita, angustiada, torci por isso e aquilo, depois vi que não era bem assim, etc. Tem plots twists saca? Adorei kkkkkk. O final não foi corrido, focou nos protagonistas e aqueceu meu coração. Outros núcleos ficaram com finais nem tão fechados, mas deu pra subentender basicamente tudo, é o que importa.
Pra mim, uma obra de arte (e de mestres kkkkk). Super recomendo, especialmente pra quem curte o gênero.

I waited till the drama was completed to watch it and didn't really expected the drama to be super good ( decided to watch it because the casts were really similar to SanShengSanShi's casts) but DAMN I was wrong this drama is definitely worth watching!!! It's a super great drama. The love YinXue has for RuGe is so genuine that it touched my heart <3 Though the last few eps really confused me (thought that the entire movie was YinXue's dream HAHAHA), i rewatched the eps once more and I realised that I was hella wrong oops.But I felt like the ending could've been better. Anyways, if you're looking for a drama that will make u tear up a lot YOU GOTTA WATCH THIS. These are just my thoughts about the drama hope it helps people that are hesitating on whether to watch this drama :)

I did not have any high hopes before watching this drama due to all the reviews I read. But since I did not have anything else to do and, after just watching Eternal Love with Dilmurat and Binbin, I wanted to give it a try. I did not have any great expectations though.
And I was right.
This drama had a great potential, the characters and actors were not too bad either. I really do think that the script was written clumsily. If the main line of the drama is great, the rest is boring. I spent my time skipping moments and moments and I usually never do that !
If the dramawas lasted 25 or 30 episodes, it would be much better.

Ruge was not too bad, she was touching, loyal and sometimes clever. Dilmurat did not disapoint me. However, I wished she gained more strength at the end of the show. I felt like during several episodes, some small details were showing her power growing, I was waiting impatiently a real revelation that never happened.

Binbin, as always, has this tragic role. He may have this very handsome face but it kinda tire me. I did not personnaly like his character. I think he could have make him more charismatic.

Xin Yue was a big disappointment as well. Not because of the character himself that I found rather funny. I just, for some unknown reasons, could not stand the actor's face ? I did not..... find him as handsome as how he is considered in the show.

The "mean" character was weird...... I cannot figure out why they did hire an actor with such special face and expressions. But I kinda got used to. He wasn't the best.

I like the Third Sect leader though. Suprisingly. And Lei JingHong.

Anyway, I watched it. Do no regret it but if I go back in time, I don't know if I would still make myself watch it.

#HappyEnding. #ButWeirdAsWell

I love a fantasy!

This drama is an excellent story to watch and intriguing. The storyline, I loved, this is my 2nd time watching it because I really got confused the first time. You really have to focus on the episodes. I have to go back and review something that I felt I missed. This actress Dilraba is something else. What a talented artist. Dilraba Dilmurat (Lie Ru Ge) gave her character her all. I just love her. Vic Zhou (Yin Xue) very handsome actor who added a little humor to his character. Vin Zhang (Zhan Feng) is one of the top Chinese actors, his work is on point and I love the martial arts he had to do in this story. Liu Rui Lin (Yu Zi Han) is also a great actor in which I have viewed his work in other dramas. I have to applaud two of the supporting actor Zhang He (Lei Jing Hong) and actress Dai Si (Dao Lie Xiang), I love this pairing and they had chemistry. Leon Lai A (n Ye Luo), I can't leave him out because this actor is good in all he does.

The Martial Art scenes were excellent, the fantasy didn't look fake (Thank God). I loved the wardrobe! The visuals were on point. What a great story, oh I said that already. Thanking everyone else for this great story... oops I said it again.

very underated drama

this drama is so awesome every episode is more interesting i love this story it's not boring at all every episode makes me want to see more zhang bin bin as a villain he did an amazing role in this drama he is so beautiful the main man even if for some he is not as beautiful as zhang bin bin I loved him and I felt sorry for him because he suffered a lot because of his love throughout the whole drama, I liked how he comforted Dilraba, he was so funny and that's exactly the kind of men we women love.... Dilraba is nothing to talk about, I love her in every drama, I hesitated for a moment because I don't like love triangles, but I don't mind it at all in this drama because it's not annoying at all like the type of woman who hurts the first man for the wrong one that she won't even be with, I don't like dramas like that, you don't have to worry because it's not here, I love her martial arts so great in that this drama is definitely 10/10 i watched 40 episodes and i didn't get bored at all i didn't want to turn it off watch it because it's good don't trust the rating
